Library thumbnails taking forever to update

Up till now I have only had 1500 images imported in folders. When scrolling down within Grid mode in the Library the images updated very quickly, going from blurry thumbnail to sharp thumbnail. Yesterday I added a folder with 4800 images spread in many sub folders. Now even my original folder with 1500 images takes a lonnnng time to update the thumbnail images to a sharp preview after I scroll down the page. I may have made some other changes but going through the prefs shows nothing dramatic. I know I imported with 1:1 preview chosen for the large folder. Currently I can scroll down the library and the thumbnails remain blurry for up to 30 seconds before a sharp preview is given. Any thoughts on how to speed this up? It is not usable at this point.

this continues to be an issue for me. I have a 2.66 Mac Pro with 8 gigs of memory and four internal 500 gb drives and that's a reasonably fast machine, but even with some data information turned off and library images set to compact it is a very long time before the screen is fully updated after opening LR. When I open LR it takes "forever" before all the thumbnails are sharp. This seems to be a one-time event. After some period of time (I haven't timed it...I go do some other work after several minutes) all the thumbnails are sharpened up but even with these previously viewed libraries it takes quite a long while - much much longer than in Photoshop CS1. Scrolling also remains abyssmal. Having to revert to a jagged low res jpg and watch the screen redraw EVERY time I scroll up or down my library is just making me crazy. In PS CS1 I can just scroll to my heart's content with no screen redraw at all. All the other factors involved make LR better over all, but these super long screen redraws when I open LR, and the redraws every time I scroll through a bunch of images makes an otherwise great experience a real pain.

My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Updating my itunes library is taking forever

any suggestions?

I found another thread that helped me out with this. I turned off iTunes Match, quit iTunes, reopened iTunes, and turned Match back on as suggested in that discussion and it worked instantly.

Help High Resolution Thumbnails - Taking forever!!

I have 1700 photos in my iPhoto libarry. When I open the app today, I was asked if I wanted to generate high resolution thumbnails. (I had been asked before but clicked - Ask Later). Today, with no much happening, I said yes.
It's been almost 4 hours - and the status bar has not even moved 1/2".
I've searched the data base and have seen that it can take some time - especially for poeple with large libraries. But 1700 photos and 4 hours. That just does not seem right.
Any ideas? Just have patience? Or is there a problem?
Tim

Hi Tim,
What ultimately happened? I have a brand new MBPr and roughly 4,000 photos... A few hours here and my progress bar is "stuck" on 95+%...

IPhone 4S taking forever to sync after iOS 7 update

My iPhone 4S is taking forever to completely sync the back up after updating to the new iOS 7 operating system. It's stuck in step 6 of 6 'waiting for items to copy'. Please help!

I was having this same problem with iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS 7 and iTunes. It was just taking forever on the 'waiting for items to copy' step.
I disabled Genius on my iTunes setup, and immediately it resumed and completed that step. Seems like it was waiting for Genius results that weren't there, or weren't available.
I have a large iTunes library and still like to manually manage the music on my iPhone.
I guess I'll live without Genius until Apple can fix this.
iTunes Genius can cause manual sync of music to iPhone to hang for a long time.

Restarting taking forever after Security Update 2014-002

I just downloaded Security Update 2014-002 and my Mac Mini is taking forever to restart after the download and installation process finished. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks and my Mac is stuck on restart! What should I do?
Need help! Thanks.

Tap the space bar on your keyboard once. The dispaly may be sleeping.
The first restart after the update here was longer than usual but I restarted one more time, it was back to normal boot time.
After the restart, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu.
It should say: Verio 1.0 Installed Apr 22, 2014

Installed the OS update. Now my 'sleep' command is taking forever to take effect.

I'm having the same issue. My iPod video now blinks on and off with the apple logo every 3-5 seconds. The HD clicks as well, but nothing happens. It has been like this for about an hour now, and my iTunes does not even recognize that my iPod is connected. Is there something wrong with the iPod update that we are not aware of? And if so, how can I restore my software without having to reinstall all of my songs and videos? This is really frustrating, and there should be some kind of warning about problems that can occur with new software updates.

ITunes 8 taking FOREVER ( 12 hours) to process artwork thumbnails

Anybody else seeing this? Its taking forever to process the artwork thumbnails. It looks like its going out on our shared drive and processing all the media on all the computers on the network (~300GB). Or at least those that are shared. I can't tell for sure because the spinning color wheel of death won't pause so I can see what is going on.
Next question is will each of the computers in the house go through the same painful process with the shared media when upgraded to iTunes 8?
What an idiot I was. 8(

Same problem here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1701877&tstart=0). What worked for me, finally, was to quickly hit Stop before the spinning ball appeared and I then checked off for this never to happen automatically in the subsequent dialogue window. It seems to get hung with albums that start with S.

My I photo is taking forever to load. When it does load everything runs super slow. Help!

My I Photo is taking forever to load my pictures. When they finally load, everything I do in I photo is super slow. Help!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

why is it taking forever to load!?

The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
What are these files? Where are they now?
Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
Good luck & happy computing!

Qosmio X500-128, taking forever to boot also Toshiba service station error

Hi
My toshiba qosmio x500-128 is taking forever to boot up these days, iver rolled back the system using system restore, ive stopped any unessential startup services that i know are not req at startup but the system still takes forever to boot, ive also updated to the latest BIOS etc
Another thing is that everytime i login i get the error that Toshiba Service station has stopped working...
any help would be greatly appreciated

So if I am to do a system reformat. I am no novice with computers but by no means completely efficient at everything. What is the "best-practice" when doing a system reformat?
Burn a reformat disc from the system utilities?
Is there a way to reformat that would install the latest drivers/BIOS?
I am going to have a headache with the stuff on my HDD, eg. iTunes, photos, university work don't think I have enough space on my extra HDD's to store it all then to re-transfer it all back... :(
Lets just say I'm not looking forward to doing it, and I am the one everyone goes to to do these sort of things for, I don't mind if I mess up their computers that much but this laptop is my baby :D

Apple TV sync is taking forever- Will this happen each time I sync?

I just got a new Apple Tv. I am syncing 12 movies from iTunes and about 650 songs. This is taking forever! My question is, if I add a new movie to iTunes and want to sync it to AppleTv, will it take this long again? If I uncheck the rest of the movies for syncing, will it erase them from the Apple Tv? I do not think I can wait this long each time I want to add a new movie to the Apple Tv. Thanks in advance for you help.

I just bought an Apple TV and began experiencing this problem once I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. I have a MacBook Pro so I was quickly running out of room. I moved my library to an external drive that is attached to my Airport Base Station. But I'm having issues syncing and streaming. It begins to sync but goes on and on and doesn't stop. Even when I try to stream the content it constantly stops to load and repeats the process again and again. My external hard drive is a 1TB Western Digital USB 2.0.
I've read about a lot of syncing issues so far. If this continues I'm going to simply return it because it really doesn't do what it claims it should do very well.
Is this a software issue? Is it because I moved my iTunes library to an external drive? Even when I play videos on my computer it still has issues playing back.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Why is it taking forever to move objects in AI? I am completely up to date in CC 2014

I am working on Trade Show Banners, 8' x 31". Using linked eps files for all the images that have to go in it. If AI isn't crashing, it's taking forever for every thing I try to do!!! So now, if I adjust kerning, I save. It takes 8-10 minutes to save. Next thing - 8-10 min to move an object. Then 8-10 min to save because when it crashes I lose all the work. This is driving me nuts. I have deadlines!

1. What OS? OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Mac Pro
2. How much RAM? 16GB (1066 MHZ DDR3 ECC)
3. Is your Preferences > Scratch Disks set up properly? How much free space on your scratch disks? Scratch disk 1: 379.28 GB free
scratch disk 2: 360.61 GB free
4. Are you doing any raster effects on this large document? If so, how big are they, and at what resolution? (Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings...) CMYK, 300 pip, Transp. Bkgrnd, Preserve spot colors
5. How large are the placed files, and from what source (AI, Photoshop, etc.)? Are you embedding any of the placed files, or are they all linked? All are linked .eps files vary, from 8mg, 12 mg, 32mg, 43mg, etc. all food and equipment shots.
I appreciate any help! I update constantly and it seems that this last update has put a spanner in the works! I've read so many solutions. I use safari, not chrome...
thanks!
