Lightroom LR4 - very slow Keyword set updating

Lightroom LR4 - very slow Keyword set updating   1] keyword an image with some keywords from a keyword set. Those keywiords are highlighted in keyword set  2] select next image  3] wait about 4 to 5 seconds for highlighted keywords to be non highlighted. ARRGHHH  the problem with this, is that yo ucannot use the keyword set to apply these keywords to the newly selected image until they are not highlighted any more.  yet another area where lightroom is Slooooooooooow!!

Hi John, Did you solve the problem of slow update times associated with entering a keyword tag? I too am having this problem. During my most recent keyword entry it took 45 sec to add "Arizona, Hacienda Del Desierto, Lucy's Warbler, Spring " into the "Keyword Tags" box. During this time the box indicates "working...". The time to update has been getting progressively longer.
I have LR4 4.4 and I'm running on a 3.1 GHz IMac OS X 10.8.4, 16 GB RAM.
Regards
Ian

  • Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program.  How do I fix it?

    I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program.  How do I fix it?
    I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet).  I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday.  He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone.  He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5. 
    It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU.  Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems.  I could not even move the picture around.  The side screens would not disappear like they should.  And I could not move to another picture.  The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture.  After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
    LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
    My PC is only 2 years old.
    I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC.  He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway. 
    I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC.  All was ok. 
    I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade.  I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC.  Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU.  They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC.  What Bus speed do I need?
    I have the following PC Setup:
         AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
              with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
         HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
         Windows 7, 64 Bit;
         RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
         Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
         Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
         External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
         LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
         Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
    I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it.  I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse.  Will a new monitor affect my performance?  I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS.  Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
    I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions.  When running LR5, I had everything else closed.  With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
    I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it.  4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup. 
    I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago.  Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5?  Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years?  I used to go 5-7 years. 
    Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help.  Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
    I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all.  I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
    I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture.  I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
    Thank you for your time and help.

    I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
    AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
    1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
    2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
    3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
    4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
    4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
    Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

  • Neo V very Slow after ICS Update.. :(

    Updated to ICS on my Neo V and facing many issues.
    The major issue is that ph.is very slow and hangs a lot if 2-3 apps are running at the same time and at the time when ph. hangs not even the power button works, the only option is to reinsert the battery and reboot the ph.
    1. Sometime touch controls in games like Angry Birds etc. stop working altogether and only a reboot or power off will fix it.  This is incredibly frustrating and other NeoV owners have complained about this.  It is very hard to reproduce.  On my device if I start the Draw Something app then hit Home and fire up Angry Birds then there is a 50/50 chance touch will not work in the latter.  But it also happened with the beta long before Draw Something came along.  Driver issue perhaps?  Either way, once it happens you're in trouble - killing off all apps doesn't help. The popular Temple Run game exhibits very weird touch behaviour for everyone with ICS. Perhaps it's related - sure would easy enough to reproduce! Install the game and then try to play it. Good luck! 
    2. All-day events are not shown in the new Calendar widget which I think is fixed in Android 4.0.4 - shame we missed out on this release.
    3. The Performance Assistant isn't very helpful.
    4. FB status updates in the Contacts app don't work at all unless you have the official FB widget on your homescreen.  This is daft.  Timescape can fetch status updates OK so why not the Contacts app?  As a BIG fan of Timescape I don't want the FB widget on my homescreen.  This is an issue with GB that you should of fixed for this release Sony.
    5. Sony Weather widget is the best looking weather widget I have seen (and I've tried many) but it still can't use your current location for the weather - come on Sony! This would of been a great mod to make.
    Tried to repair the software and format SD Card but still the same issue.
    Is there no other way than to roll back to GB???

    sure it's not comfortable to change that selection every reboot specially if you use GSM only
    but at least it has an solve till they fix it
    but in overall process..SONY should forget about mobile market....they don't know how to offer firmware free of busg for the 3rd time !!!!!
    the first ICS release was :
    4.1.B.0.431 then 4.1.A.0.562 and then 4.1.B.0.587 !!!
    they have solved lag problems in last one ..but added more bugs !!!
    while they couldnt solve the LED problem from the 1st on till the 3rd !!!!!
    SONY developers team are a group of stupids try to learn how to develop a software and then they test their bugs in our devices !!!!

  • Very slow Macbook after updating to Yosemite.

    Two questions;
    1) I updated to Yosemite a few days ago and like it. But my macbook (2013) is now running very slow. I have done all the latests software updates.
    In the Activity Monitor, a process called DesktopServicesHelper (PID 1681) take up 99% of my CPU%. What is this and why? How do I fix it? Please help!
    2) Also in the Activity Monitor, there is a process which is not responding, called com.apple.geod (PID 1703). What is this? What does it mean? How do I fix it?

  • Lightroom speed - very slow

    I have a catalog that is very slow displaying previews. Often for several minutes it only shows a blank grey preview in the filmstrip and the main previews are very blotchy.
    I currently have about 24,000 photos in the catalog. Is the number of photos the problem if so what is a practical limit?
    My laptop is a dual core pentium with 2gb or ram.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Generally the previews are much slower than in the past in all views. However it is REALLY bad when it first starts. I should also mention that the files are stored on an external USB 2.0 drive.
    Someone mentioned letting lightroom generate previews. I have a few questions about that. I thought most files have an embedded preview that lightroom should use by default. I normally import my camera raw files into lightroom and convert to DNG at import, sometimes I will shoot in jpg. The files that were working the slowest on the preview are .tiff but others do it as well just not as bad. Also seems like I read when lightroom generates previews they are only kept for 30 days after last accessed time. Is this all correct?
    Thanks,
    Ed

  • My iPhone 5s is very slow since I updated to iOS 7.1

    Hi people! I have a problem and not a solution. I bought my iPhone 5s last December in an official Apple store. I have not applied and never will the famous "jailbreak" (to be clear to you). Since I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7.1 inexplicably began to be a very slow smatphone (like Android). I need your help, and not something I like to do is restore. Thanks in advance for your help. (Sorry for my english, I speak spanish)

    iOS 6 works just fine on my 4S and everyone else's that I know.
    What have you done to troubleshoot your issue?
    Have you taken the basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the iPhone User guide?

    Firstly ...
    Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
    Minimum specs for Snow Leopard.  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -   Read the Technical Specifications
    Buying Snow leopard from Apple.        Last I read, you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for family pack and $19 plus tax for a single.  You can also buy through your National Apple help number.
    Once you have it you must update using the ...
    Combo updater for Snow Leopard.      Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Hope this is what you wanted.

  • AirPort very, very slow & intermittant after update

    I installed the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001 from today's Software Update, and on restarting, my wireless connection became extremely slow (56k speeds at best) and very intermittant -- it'll work for a minute or so, then lag for two or three minutes with no signal. I've rebooted several times, but it hasn't helped.
    Is anyone else having trouble after the update?
    MacBook Pro, 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The "solution" is at http://www.macfixit.com/
    Problems after updating
    [In many cases, the problems listed below are incidental to the update and can be solved by some of the workarounds listed in our wireless troubleshooting tutorial -- many users have reported success with turning off wireless encryption (WEP, WPA) on their Base stations, for instance.
    If you are having extreme difficulties after applying this update, the workarounds listed in our wireless tutorial have failed, and you absolutely need to restore wireless access, you can try this somewhat risky workaround:
    Download the most recent version of Mac OS X for Intel (10.4.8)
    (http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=11796&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg)
    but do not install it.
    Download and install the shareware application Pacifist
    Drag the Mac OS X 10.4.8 installer package onto the Pacifist application icon.
    Click the triangle next to "System" to expand it
    Click the triangle next to "Library" to expand it
    Click the triangle next to "Extensions" to expand it
    Scroll down and find the file IO80211Family.kext. Drag it to your Desktop or another location (you will have to enter your administrator password)
    On your Mac OS X startup drive, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions and locate a similarly named file (IO80211Family.kext). Move it to another location for safe keeping.
    Now drag the file from step 7 (the one that you retrieved from the Mac OS X 10.4.8 install package) into the /System/Library/Extensions, in effect replacing the newer file (installed by the AirPort updater) with and older copy -- you will have to enter an administrator password.
    Restart your Mac
    This workaround is risky because you should not generally mix and match kernel extensions after updates, you will lose some improvements (including security refinements) brought about by AirPort Extreme Updater 2007-001, and new conflicts can ensue. Still, in a bind, it can restore wireless connectivity where other workarounds fail.]

  • Lightroom 3 Very Slow

    I am using Lightroom 3.4.1. It has recently slowed dramatically. I have a very large catalog - 361k images. The slowness comes in building previews.
    and working in the Develop module. I am running an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB ram, 500gb of free space on the hard drive. I have gone through all the optimizing suggestions on the Adobe site. Is there a way to run a catalog this large efficiently? If I upgrade to a Mac Pro with more memory and faster processors would I see significantly greater speed in this large catalog? I built a test catalog and imported several hundred images and it worked very fast. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you! SDM

    Hi Geoff
    Well, I thought I was rendering standard previews, but it looks like my finger slipped, as I just checked and LR said it was rendering 1:1. I stopped and restarted the process.
    But, for what is worth, I think the limiting factor for me is just getting the images off the disk. I have 1.6 TB of image data, and at a very optimistic 50 MB/sec of reading, it would take 8 hours just to read all the files. But, of course, I don't average 50 MB/s, and then LR has to process and write out the data, regardless of the size of the previews.
    It would be interesting to compare a recent MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt connector to a RAID to an older MacPro with a eSata connection.
    Regarding my comment of running out of RAM--while I do think it is a problem in general, I just looked and it doesn't seem to be an issue right now. I am using about 8-10 GB of my 14 installed.
    Cheers

  • My iPhone 4S is very slow since I updated to the iOS6

    Since I have updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 everything is running slow. From opening apps, to going on the Internet, took me nearly 10mins to come on here to write this. Is there anyway I could go back to iOS5 or apple to send another update to fix the problem as its very annoying! Am shocked apple would send a update out with all these problems. Please fix it, or even explain how he can be fixed. Soon if possible. 

    iOS 6 works just fine on my 4S and everyone else's that I know.

  • Phone reception HORRIBLE, have to select from drop down menus 2x and INTERNET now freezes and is VERY SLOW SINCE NK1 UPDATE a week ago, no problems prior

    I have had my Note 3 since about 14 months now and have loved it until the last Verizon update.  Since the update my reception is very poor / "breaks up" in my shop.  This is the same shop I have been working in for 6 YEARS!!! Also when I select a drop down tab like a credit card month and make my selection it NEVER saves the 1st time, always have to do it 2x.  The internet used to work great in my shop and could stream Pandora without an issue, now it take 2 minutes to load the first song.
    I feel these simple software issues could make people feel the need to upgrade their phone even though there is nothing wrong with their current phone, pretty creative sales tactic if you ask me.  All I want is my phone to work like it did prior to the 1/16/2015 update.  If I have change my ways and run my off wifi everywhere like I had to back when I had Sprint I might as well switch to a cheaper provider.
    My time is money and wasting time trying to make a phone work like it did before a software update is very frustrating. I have already gone to a Verizon store and was told to do a complete reset.  I spent 2 hours saving everything to my cloud, reset the phone and the same problems still exist.  Please help me find a solution to my problems ASAP

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My macbook pro 13'' boots very slow after mavericks update, and after booting its loads for a long time

    Processor:     2.9 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory:        8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    HDD:             1TB (5400rpm)
    Graphics:       Intel HD Graphics 4000
    OS:               OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes   after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract—not at the end.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entirecontents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Ipad mini very slow after ios7 update

    A) Since installing IOS7 on my Ipad Mini (which I purchased only in April) everything runs slow
    B) Facebook flashes and disappears and I have to relaunch the program
    C) When switching screens the animation is very choppy
    So what's the deal?  Were there real beta testers or what?  How can these things be missed??
    Where's the solutions?
    Jeannie

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
