LR5 and ACR glacially slow; tried everything

I built a custom PC for photo editing and it has been a profound disappointment. Performance with both Adobe Camera RAW through Bridge CC and Lightroom 5 are glacial. Ten seconds for a preview, 6 seconds for a 1:1 zoom, 4-5 seconds for a visual response to each individual adjustment, etc.
Here are key components:
OS - Windows 8.1 PRO 64-bit
CPU - AMD FX-6350 CPU
Mobo - AsRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0
RAM - 32GB Crucial Ballistix RAM DDR3 1600
Boot SSD - Samsung 840 250GB MZ-7TD250BW SSD
Footage SSD - Kingston SV300S37A/240G 240GB SSD
Video Card - EVGA 02G-P4-3658-KR 2GB GTX 650 Ti
Lightroom Version - 5.3 64-bit
Adobe Camera RAW CC
Here are steps I've taken to alleviate issue, all without success:
Optimized catalog, LR5 settings, etc
Updated video driver
Reinstalled Lightroom
Reinstalled Windows 8.1
Transitioned footage from 7200rpm HDD to new SSD
Overclocked PC from 3.9ghz to 4.3ghz
Converted RAW files to DNG (Sony a57 is my camera model)
Created new catalog
Increased LR cache to 64gb
Installed Windows 7 for comparison
Developed new smart, standard, and 1:1 previews
Deleted preferences folder and started anew
Changed monitor color profiles (Acer H226HQLbid > sRGB 2.1 > sRGB 4)
Created new catalog with only ~50 images
Ran Memtest86; no RAM errors. Speed, timing, voltage are at proper stock values
Updated SSD firmware
Secure-erased and reformatted OS and footage SSD drives
Ensured that 'auto-write to XMP' was deactivated
Ensured that 'Default' metadata setting was active
None of these steps have resulted in any noticeable improvement. LR5 hangs, crashes, and lags upon every single adjustment. Adobe Camera RAW CC behaves the same way. I am desperate.

I AM SO HAPPY!
As I mentioned earlier, I deleted Avast Antivirus in favor of the stock Windows 8.1 AV, called 'Windows Defender'. My malware program is (and has been) MalwareBytes.
I've been throwing adjustments at LR5 like Ali jabs on Frazier... what a breeze. Changing AV programs has solved the issue.
This computer is horsing through lengthy edit sessions while immediately providing visual response to my changes. Applications of VSCO presets take ~4-5 seconds to complete, but that's not much of a holdup considering how many adjustments go into those presets.
I've had some other minor issues in the past with Avast (sometimes interferes with Windows Installer). This, however, is the exclamation point on my official "DO NOT RECOMMEND!" stamp. With Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and Lightroom 5 64-bit, Avast Antivirus (in my experience) was at fault for all of the sluggishness, crashing, and hanging.
Sincerely, thank you all so much for your help. Several of you provided intelligent troubleshooting suggestions; thank you. This was a tremendously frustrating issue and your help has seen to its resolution. If you stop by Tacoma, WA, I'll buy any of you a beer!

SharePoint Slow - Tried everything I could find

Our SharePoint 2010 site has been running very slowly all week. We installed updates on the server and rebooted this past weekend if that matters. It's slow site-wide and it also takes a long time to open files (.xlsx, .docx, etc.). We don't have many
files, and each library has less than 20 or so files.
SharePoint runs on a VM with SQL installed on it as well. It has four virtual cores running at generally 1-5% usage and 6GB RAM, with 3GB in use typically. There is 400GB free on the VHD.
I've tried everything I could find online on how to fix or increase performance.
No custom web-parts or CSS
There is no search service or crawling running. One suggestion was to disable the Search Service Application, but that's missing from my Central Admin page.
There is no anti-virus running on the server.
The database growth thing is set fairly high.
I exported a certificate (SharePointRootAuthority.cer) and stored it in the Trusted Certs store
I did a developer console thing (F12) in IE and ran a UI responsiveness test. It shows several 10-15 second HTTP requests for things like JavaScript. It also takes about 5 seconds to get the page itself.
Any ideas?

What I'm afraid is ... SQL is very greedy about RAM. It sucks up RAM when it finds it available.
So when you call for SharePoint Web, the w3wp process would have to fight for RAM, and everything would be constantly changing from memory to swap. Performance Monitors can
acknowledge that. Or you can inspect high I/O on disk, and see if it happens on pagefile.sys, or tempDB.ndf.
Another thing that happens with low RAM available, is that IIS Application Pools think they're exceeding a Memory Limit and they're constantly recycling.
With the built-in database engine you get from a SharePoint single-server installation, that is avoided, kinda.

Please help. Half my contacts are missing and think I've tried everything!

Hi there
Sorry this is a long post but I'm a bit desperate and hope you can help:
I dont have a PC or ipad or anything but do have an iphone 5 and over the weekend my emails (to my live.com account) weren't sending off my phone.
So I deleted the live/hotmail account and reinstalled the account. I noticed that upon re-installation there was no option for 'contacts', just 'notes' and 'calendar' but I didnt pay it much attention as I have an exchange account listed on my phone which features contacts, email, notes, calendar etc etc.
Yesterday out of the blue some of my contacts went missing (after sending a text to a person, a few hours later their name vanished). I deduced that all the contacts that had vanished were email addresses and newer numbers (over the past few years).
I still had the 334 numbers I've accumulated over the past 10 years.
So today - after looking at apple community help sites - I took the following steps:
- Checked all contacts groups were ticked (they were)
- Tried switching the contacts box on and off.
- I deleted my newly installed Live Account as it seemed unnecessary as I could send/receive emails on my exchange account.
- I then deleted my exchange account and re-installed it.
- Hey presto, all the numbers and emails addresses which had vanished came back.
- BUT DOOM... all my initial numbers have gone. This is really bad (relatives, work mates, boss etc etc all lost).
- So then I tried to look at how to ask iCloud to sync contacts but couldn't really find an answer anywhere.
- So I tried to log into my iCloud on a public computer to check what contacts I had and move them manually but after logging on (for first time ever) using my iCloud email address and also my live.com email address, no contacts we listed as being in the Cloud.
- In terms of synching data all I could find was an instruction to turn the 'contacts' tab in icloud off (whilst keeping contacts on iphone) then switching it back on and asking it to merge.
But this didnt achieve anything new.
- So I repeated the step above and then as instructed on one post selected iCloud backup. This hasn't helped either and I'm worried that I have updated my icloud to only include my Exchange contacts and not my old numbers.
So I'm panicking that i'll never get my important numbers back! Any advice?
My only glimmer of hope is that when I changed from iphone 4 to iphone 5 earlier this year, all of my data was switched using the icloud function (but possibly my live/hotmail account too), which suggests to me that icloud does have all the numbers.
I still have the iphone4 handset too - so could perhaps get the numbers off that? But I don't know how so any advice very welcome!!
Please.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.

HT201407 iPhone 4 activation and restore errors. Tried everything and the phone still won't work

Woke up this morning and looked at my phone. Found an error message saying "iPhone cannot make or recieve calls, please restore through iTunes". So before restoring it I checked the support website to see if there was anything else I could do before I had no other choice than to restore the phone. Followed everything, found the phone still wouldn't work or recieve signal. I restored the phone and now it wouldn't activate, so called Apple and explained to them. Tried everything I was told, (Call my network, original network provider of phone, restore again, try recovery mode, activating with a different SIM card, absolutely everything) and still the phone wont activate. Apple have bent over backwards for me to try solve this but have had no luck, so if anyone else has experienced this and had any luck fixing it can you please share any info with me as I'm now effectively stuck in a contract without a phone or an option to renew the phone or one to put my SIM card into. iTunes also thinks 6.1.3 is the latest software but I have seen users with 6.1.4
The phone is an iPhone 4 16GB originally locked to Orange UK but has been working fine with a T-mobile UK SIM.
I've spent a couple of hours looking on the Internet and had no luck at all so any replies would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Are there any other errors that you are receiving? The exact error helps. You say it was locked to Orange, did they unlock the device? Or did you do something else to make the device work with the other SIM. There are a number of issues regarding activation, and many deal with trying to activate a device that has been locked to a carrier, hacked to work with another and then locked back when the device is updated. Would any of this pertain to you?

Problems installing itunes and quicktime. i've tried everything

i installed itunes. i was then using the wrong port/plug in because it wouldn't read my D drive. i reinstalled itunes and then i clicked on it and it says something like "i can't open this because the installation failed with itunes or quicktime."
i then tried to delete itunes from "my computer" which worked, but it wont let me touch quicktime to delete it. i left quicktime in the computer.
i have then re- installed itunes and registered my ipod over 10 times at least because it kept saying i couldn't use itunes. i think that might be the problem, that my ipod has been registered so many times. which files ami supposed to erase to fix this problem. i restored my computer and reinstalled itunes and the same problem happened. there is also a error 2095 in quicktime which i cant fix. i just got an ibm laptop aith windows xp and i was wondering if i should try using that instead. it already has itunes on it, but it has not been used.should i?

I'm having the same problem....driving me crazy...I've tried everything...turning off my virus and firewall center....deleting it...reinstalling it from the disk and the site....and I keep getting Error code on the QT of 3 and I don't remember the one of Itunes but it won't run unless QT is installed....HELP!!!!

Wi-Fi Stopped working and yes I have tried everything

*Before you EVEN jump at me with all the existing methods of attempting to fix this. Please read my post first.*
Okay, I've done the following:
Reset iPhone
Forgotten Network settings (and never been able to get them back)
Cleared network settings
Cleared ALL settings and content
Restored iPhone from Backup
Attempted to connect to several wireless networks
There IS a MAC address in the about page
Attempted to connect to a wireless network with WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPA2 Enterprise and NO encryption
Attempted entering the connection information manually
There is NO mac filtering on my router
Obviously I cannot debug this any further. I intend as my next step to get a hold of a cisco router and run debug on that to see if I can find anything out.
Any new suggestions would be much appreciated, but I have literally tried everything.
Also my iPhone is running OS 2.2.1
Edit: I would appear to be an idiot, in missing the huge topic at the bottom dedicated to this issue. My bad. However from what I've gathered, I am not putting my iPhone in a freezer just to get wifi working. If it is a chip fault I'll be wanting my money back.
Message was edited by: MilesTails

I had some issues with WiFi early on, went to an Apple Store, and things worked perfectly, so at least I figured out that it wasn't iPhone.
Then I got an updated WiFi access point for my house, and everything worked reliably after that.
So the question is, have you gone to an apple store and checked the WiFi there?

TS1630 no sound and wont shut off. tried everything

Hi, I have a 7 month old, or about, iPhone 4S. I can't listen to music or hear any sounds at all, but it will vibrate. My phone refuses to shut off, and will turn on a few moments later. I have tried everything and i have read everything in the articals and Apple Support. Is there anything that I can do or should I look into a new phone?

You can 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.

Lightroom 4.4 very slow - tried everything

Hi all...
Lightroom 4.4 is very slow for me... everything takes longer than it should and it's driving me nuts. Can anyone help?
Some details:
I have LR 4.4 on a Macbook Air. I have two libraries:
Internal - 5,000 photos
External Drive - 21,000 photos
My external drive is not connected and I am working with photos on the internal drive... so it's only 5k photos.
I've already tried all of the troubleshooting tips:
Purged camera raw cache
Increased camera raw cache to 3GB
Purged video cache (even though I have no video files in LR)
Deleted all previews (8GB worth)
Optimized catalog
Restarted LR
My Macbook Air has 30GB of memory free.
Any suggestions? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks!

I can now report from both sides of the fence. Up until yesterday, I had a four-year old Core2Duo system, 8GB, that had the dreaded slowness. Not as bad as described above perhaps, but there was clearly something not working as it should. Using matrix-based monitor profiles and updating video card drivers relieved some of the symptoms, but the disease was still there.
At the same time I used an i5 16GB system that was much better. Not good (as in instantaneous), but acceptable.
This morning I fired up my new system for the first time and sent it on its maiden voyage. Naturally the first thing I did was open Lightroom 4.3, and...yes. So that's how it's supposed to work! Snappy, immediately responsive, switching images like nothing ever happened.
Phew.
Now this is a pretty high-spec'ed machine, i7-3820, Asus P9X79 pro, 32GB, SSD. Let's not hope these are the real requirements for good Lightroom performance. But I did reuse the old video card, an ATI 6670 running the 12.8 driver, and it works just fine.
At the moment it's a pretty lean setup: Aside from mobo and video drivers I've only installed Lightroom, CS 5.5 Design Premium and Eizo calibration software. Anti-virus, mouse and keyboard drivers, file synchronization software, font manager and Office remain. I'll keep a close look at how Lightroom behaves as these are added.
Bottom line, and there's no doubt about it: Brilliant as it is, there is sickness in the Lightroom code somewhere. For some people, the unlucky ones, the symptoms are bad. Most people get away with a mild flu, and some are immune.

Bridge CC and ACR unbearably slow

Upon researching the issue of a slow Bridge CC I realize I am not alone nor is this a new problem. The thread I read extensively is almost a year old. Despite paying for CC for about 9 months I still use CS6. I had hopes that the new 2014 CC would solve the bridge performance issues.
I am running a six-core system with 32 GB ram, an SSD for my OS and programs, an empty 1.5 TB drive dedicated to cache, on a win 7 - 64bit OS. Bridge CC and camera raw are so slow I can't use them. My only comparison is CS6 and using the same settings for both programs.
When opening bridge CC to the folder that was previously cached and loaded used it took ~51 seconds of "building criteria" before i could view the file types, ratings, and details in the filter box. In other words I do not see any information in the filters box for that time. I made sure that the thumbs were completely loaded into the cache before I closed Bridge CC and opened the program to the same folder. The same folder in Cs6 takes ~4 second to load..
I have performance issues in ACR too.
I batch edit in ACR like out lightroom counterparts do but Bridge CC Plus ACR are too slow to work with.
I selected the same 20 raw files in each case.
bridge CC camera raw 8.5 took 5 seconds of a watch icon to load the files into the camera raw dialog after hitting CTRL R
No edits or changes were made to the files.
when i click to the next image in the list (still in camera raw) it takes 0.5-1 second of the watch icon to load the next raw photo in the batch.
in CS6 I selected the same 20 unedited RAW files, CTRL R and they immediately load. I can switch from raw file to RAW file without any hiccup or delay. 5 seconds vs instant. I didn't build a six core system to wait for things to load.
not exactly scientific but that's the disparity I am seeing. Bridge CC is death to me. To make sure I wasn't crazy I clicked on a recent folder with only 80 raw files, 80 respective small jpgs and a couple video files (4.5 gigs of data). It took so long I freaked out that I had moved the files to a backup location instead of copying them. After 30 seconds I stopped counting, opened windows explorer, browsed the backup folder, copied the files and was about to paste them to what should have been the original location and then Bridge decided that it was ready to work. For that ~ 60-85 seconds there was no watch icon, no spinning circle or "building criteria". It just looked as if I was browsing an empty folder.
Any suggestions?

c. Once you post something that's helpful I'm sure someone will give you a thanks, until then stop trolling these boards - your name was all over that thread with useless and unhelpful information
Well mister Chuck 'know it al', you can congratulate yourself. With just 2 posts in the past year and no points for helpful answers at al you come in hard and call one of the most helpful posters a troll.
This was the limit for both of us, we had to stand a lot, including no help from Adobe but a more crippled forum website after each major upgrade. No possibility to place FAQs, a lot of people screaming for help without taking the effort to look first for similar problems, almost never providing correct details, crucial for a mixed Mac/Windows forum.
We had to suffer a lot, getting in unpaid and just plain users like all other guests, only it did cost us a lot of spare time.
But now we can rest from this task because mister Chuck "know it al" has jumped in to the rescue.
I wish you good luck and pity your friends and family, it must be a difficult task to live with such a nice person.
Goodbye to you all!!

Search and Replace... tried everything, no luck, think it's quite simple!

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to do some editing on many many html files. As it wouldn't be realistic in the slightest to do it manually I'm trying to use the search and replace feature in DW, but it's proving quite difficult. I've looked at everything available on this forum and others with no luck.
So I'm trying to replace a huge block of code, but as the code is different in all the files I have to use the wildcard. So I match up the code at the front and the block which is the same in all the files I'm trying to change and insert [^"]*. For example, if I wanted to change the meta content I search for:
<meta name="description" content="[^"]*" />
It doesn't find it.
The other blocks of code are much bigger and it's the same story. If I copy the code in which I am looking to replace (without the wild card) and search it doesn't find it, but if I click off 'use regular expression' it does find it, so this leads me to believe that it may be something to do with the special characters that is in the code that I am trying to replace, but I am unsure how to go about excluding these..
Any help much appreciated,
Brian

I'm the very first to admit that I STINK at Reg Ex. It's a totally foreign language to me.
Whenever possible, I use the Search Tag with Attributes feature.
So let's say you need to find all meta tags that contain attribute "name" & the content is different in each one.
Find In: Current document (to test)
Search: Specific Tag         meta
With Attribute                      name = [any value]
Action: Set Attribute          content   to: type your new values here....
Replace All.
Hope this helps.

IMessage and FaceTime wont work - Tried everything

I know this is asked a lot, but I think I have a different case because I used iCould to reset at first. Earlier today, I changed my passcode so my sister couldnt get on and I forgot it 20 minutes later. I unlocked it by removing everything and restoring it before and it worked, so I went to do that. I got a message saying I could reset until "Find My iPhone" was turned off, but I couldn't do that because I didnt know the passcode. I decieded to go to iCloud and erase my phone to turn 'Find my iPhone" off, which worked. When I restored from my iPhone back up, I went to FaceTime (I FaceTime a ton) and I realized it wasn't working. I went to settings and I saw it was turned off, so I turned it back on. Well, like most people it was sitting at "Waiting for activation" and after that, "An error occured during activation. Try again." I looked it up online and found a lot of solutions, to which none worked. I tried Hard rebooting, reseting network settings, Removing everything (This time off of iTunes), Removing everything and setting up as a new device, flicking it on and off multiple times (obviously), and I think thats it. Is their any other known way to fix it? Everything was working for me up until I changed my passcode and reset using iCloud which was today. I'm running the lastest version of software (iOS 7.0.4), and I don't really care if iMessage is working as I have unlimited texting so I don't need it, but I need FaceTime fixed more than anything. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

I have tried restoring and setting up as a new iPhone and then turning FaceTime on if that's that you meant. That didn't work for me. Disabling Cellular didn't work either, but thanks for the suggestion.

Constant reboot of Iphone 4 and NO restoring possible, tried everything

Without being used at the time I discovered a couple of days ago that my new iphone 4 (running on iPhone 4.0.1 (already for a couple of days, 3 weeks old) was in a constant 30 sec reboot and was pretty warm. When connected to my Mac, iTunes didn't recognise it. Not too worried I read up online on the Apple support website how to restore the iPhone.
Unfortunately the classic restoration (Put phone into restore mode, connect to itunes and hit restore) didn't work. This is what happened:
~ iphone recognized in restoration mode
~ extraction of software
~ preparing phone (switch to black screen with apple logo and progress bar)
~ waiting for iphone (progress bar doesn't move)
~ "itunes cannot restore iphone due to an unknown error (9)"
Called Apple hotline and tried all recommended measures: download of new iphone 4.0.1 software, no firewall, newest iTunes, different cable, different computer (Mac & PC), tried recboot exit only to get it out of recovery mode.
Same error every time. I am a little desperate and wonder if it is a hardware error. Has anybody experienced a similar issue and fixed it. Or has anybody another idea what I could try. Apple support in Singapore is still impossible for iPhone 4 so I am grateful for any help. I am a little disappointed that such a promoted device like the iphone 4 took 3 weeks to break down without any human interference. I am very grateful for any help I can get.

I work in retail for at&t. We had one come in defective. It kept constantly rebooting, had a bad battery. As soon as I would unplug it, it would shut off completely. Didn't try to restore, but it sounds like the same problem. It happens, I'm surprised they actually had one in stock to replace it for you, bibo24
