LR 5 running extremely slow on a brand new iMac

Hi, I just got a brand new iMac (specs will be attached on bottom) because my old pc was slowing down. I downloaded the CC LR and PS trials so I can see how the machine works, figuring it would be way faster then my old one (2009 machine, specs also on bottom). Unfortunately, LR is running much slower on my new machine and I am quite frustrated since I only bought the iMac due to performance issues with my old machine. I am hoping that it has to do with the setup and am hoping someone here can help me figure it out, or I will have to return this machine.
I really wished that I could talk with customer service, but that seems to be not an option, which makes me quite disappointed with CC and Adobe. I have the Scott Kelby LR5 book and set preferences up the way he did, but maybe I am missing something that he is not talking about. I have used LR since version LR3 and have not had any issues with it on my other machine, besides it slowing down now that I got a camera that produces bigger files sizes than my old.
Please let me know what other info I should supply. Thanks so much!
old machine specs where LR5 is running much faster then on this brand new one

HI this has been well discussed on the Macrumours forums and here too. Seems to be an Adobe thing as other similar software does not do this.
may be down to LR not making use of the GPU  or some other reason, I'm trying to make my mind up between buying  LR 5 or buying Capture One a pro 8  Which is a fantastic piece of software which does make use of GPU.
i Was hoping LR6 would come out soon (March 2015) but apparently that is just a rumor with no substance.
decisions decisions!

  • What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.

    What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.
    I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
    Comments encouraged.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

    You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it  To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
    You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

  • Why is Motion 4 Upgrade running sooo slow on my brand new MacPro 8core?

    Hi I realize that buying an 8.core MacPro in 2012 is buying a 3-year old machine, and FinalCut Studio, with FCP7, & Motion 4 Upgrade is buying an ancient software nobody at Apple seems to care much about anymore, but it happens to be the software I need for the work we are doing.
    I used to run Motion 3 on a MacPro G5 and it ran pretty well. But I did NOT expect that Motion 4 Upgrade would run at an absolute achingly slow snail's pace on a brand new Intel MacPro that has more than twice the processing power of my ancient G5. You spend all this money to upgrade and would expect that an Apple software like Motion should run amazingly fast on this much firepower.
    That said, i'm hoping that someone can give me a clue to help me figure out how to make it run better. At least fast enough to be able to try out a few effects on some, say, text, on a 20 second animation and not have to wait 25min for a render three letters of text.... ???!
    Could my MacPro have a massive hardware defect? I also run Final Cut Pro 7 and also find it does not perform particularly fast. I am no newbie, having used these softwares for years and also work as an editor. I've thought maybe it'S some problem with RAM filling up and eventually choking, since it seems the longer I work on something the slower Motion gets. But everything i've tried has failed to improve it, even reinstalling. I'm running Lion (10.7.4) and have found that it has been a nightmare getting it to run correctly. Could that be a cause? It's causing me to get depressed and give up on Macs. Never thought I'd say that!
    Thx for any help!

    UPDATE: After quitting and reopening the same project that was extremely slow, it performed better? I then worked in it for a while and it seemed to work ok, but then after I clicked on the layers editor to close one of the layers Motion just ground to a halt! So it seems there is a bug within Motion, at least on my machine. If I close and reopen the same project the performance returns.
    Is there a possibility that the version I purchased has a bug? Is this a bug others have? Or is this an issue with my MacPro? In any case, it makes working on anything of any kind of complexity in Motion 4, even low complexity text effects, virtually unuseable.
    Any feedback from others as to this problem? Input greatly appreciated!

    I have read your post on how your brand new desktop computer is experiencing slow Internet. Are you other wireless devices experiencing a similar issue? Does this occur with more than one browser?
    In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Windows 8 stops responding or becomes very slow after connecting to the Internet. This should help improve the speed of your computer's browsing capabilities.

  • Can i run snow leopard on my brand new iMac i5?

    I just bought a new iMac Core i5 – and it's lovely – but it comes with Lion pre-installed and half my applications no longer run (Logic Express, Photoshop, etc). Can I install Leopard or Snow Leopard to continue to use my old apps, or will I have to upgrade everything?

    Hi:
    Partitioning an internal HD is not a very good idea (IMHO).  At a minimum you waste resources and also partially defeat OS X's system management.
    You might wish to consider running one OS X from an external HD - although that would confuse me for sure
    Barry
    P.S.  I only had one thing that would not run (permanently) under OS X 10.7.  That was an old copy of Office (2004).  I decided to not upgrade but to switch to iWork instead.

  • AIRPORT EXTREME RUNNING EXTREMELY SLOW., AIRPORT EXTREME RUNNING EXTREMELY SLOW.

    why is a brand new airport extreme running extremely slow. Worked fine before the firmware update.

    I nearly fainted when I just read your post.  I bought the new airport extreme on June 24, 2011, just as the store was closing -- 8:45 PM.   At home it worked well right out of the box, but the next morning it has been nothing but trouble.    I wracked my brain to figure out what could change overnight, and your suggestion that it was updated by firmware is logical.  Oddly, it works well with my desktop, which is less than two feet away (I don't use ethernet), but in the next room over it is fast only sporadically.    I replaced the prior extreme because it suddenly quit, and the genius spent some time diagnosing it and concluded it no longer worked.  

  • How come my ps CS6 runs extremely slow?

    After testing photoshop cs6, seeing how fast it worked on 3D on my pc I bought the web design and premium version. Time in between was several weeks. To my huge disappointement, the bought version runs extremely slow, mostly on 3D when I want to paint on target texture. Secondly I experiance a bug when I open my file and want to paint on targeted texture....brush shows inaccesible when wanting to paint. I do not mean greyed out, but the moment I hover over my 3d object it shows I cant paint (yes I have my layer selected;-). I have to fix this each time by changing targeted texture to some other and again switching back to the one I actually want to edit. As last thing, my OpenCL is greyed out.....maybe that causes the speed problems.....did not check with trial if it worked so not sure this is the issue=/....
    When it comes to the speed I tried several things and now even reinstalled my whole pc hoping that would solve the problem.....it did not. Both CS6 photoshop 32-and 64-bit run slow on 3D.
    I closed my trendmicro virusscanner to see if that would help....it speeded up only the start-up process but not the 3D. 3D works so slow that I have to wait 10 minutes after each move..just crazy....evenmore as it worked awesome with the trial version.
    Also changed amount of memory assigned to ps by increasing to 80% and even 100%...nothing.
    changed in graphic processors settings advanced into basic...nothing again.
    No idea what to do next besides buying a new computer....I know I do not have a super strong one but as it worked perfectly I just don't get it. My pc runs this system:
    Intel(R) Core (TM) 2CPU
    [email protected] 2.66 Ghz
    Ram 4GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    GeForce8800GTX
    I have the feeling it is some conflict between an update of windows or graphic driver (I have the newest so my info tells me) and photoshop...any ideas what to do as this is extremely frustrating?

    Installed newer graphic driver as its seemed Microsoft update had an older one installed on my pc. This one is straight from Nvidia site with 3D support. Nevertheless ps runs slow and especially 3D. 32 Bit runs tiny bit faster than 64-bit. Now my photoshop even crashes with 3D: 32 bit holds out longer then 64...last one freezes almost immediately and I can close it through task manager. After installing newer driver at least the 64 bit shows OPenCL , where 32-bit not....maybe thats normal...
    I hope anyone can help me as I even checked the system requirements on adobe and mine should be more than fine.

    Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time.  Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
    Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
    Maybe being more specific would help.  Is your mesh complex?
    Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create?  I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
    Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest...  You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

  • My mac is running extremely slow. More often than not when I try to click something or type something it gives me the "thinking" pointer icon.  I ran the etre check program and got this:

  • Macbook Pro running extremely slow (log included) especially when safari is opened. How can I fix this?

    Hello
    When I open my macbook it is running extremely slow - especially once I launch safari. It can take minutes to load a page or for a page I am already typing on to even respond. I have pasted below part of my log from the application - Console. I have not included all of it as it was 7 pages long but please let me know if you need further information. Thank you for any help!

    Start by removing "Rapport" and "Elmedia Player," both of which are much worse than useless. If there's no improvement, post again.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • Macbook Pro running extremely slow

    While still on Mavericks my Macbook Pro 13 mid 2010 (2.4 Intel core 2 duo) sporadically began running extremely slow functions, even the mouse cursor moved in jolts and steps, to type a word in google search engine I had to wait a few seconds after being typed for the word to appear on screen. The internal speaker volume responds 10 seconds after tapping the buttons on the keyboard.  Videos are unplayable in netflix and other sites because picture freezes and runs in jolts and steps. Its Not the internet connection or the streaming.
    I upgraded to Yosemite to see if this would fix the problem, I upgraded the darned adobe flashplayer believing maybe I needed the latest software available for my programs for the computer to run smoothly. I upgraded the RAM to 8GB from 4GB and did not fix the problem. I have more than half of the 500GB hard drive with free space. I'm getting a Java Runtime Environment download prompt to view properly something every time I boot the computer.  The "slowness" comes and goes. But it gets more frequent and worse each day. I can't work.  Could it be some type of malware that makes the computer slow? I can't identify a specific malware to address and remove. Could it be that the fan isn't working properly and runs slow when its too hot?? Please HeLP!!

    a very good and quite current discussion on the issue is here > Mac slow after Yosemite 10.10.1 up-grade - kernel task? - the best of the best here in the forum weigh in here. - Feliz Navidad - ÇÇÇ

  • Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Then your basic issues are: too little RAM, incompatible software, dysfunctional installation.
    Add more RAM or kill as many programs that you use until the computer is running normally.
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. Upgrade any old software.
    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.
