New update causes painfully slow import time

Is anyone else feeling the pain of REALLY slow imports?  On a typical shoot, I may have more than 1,000 images to import.  I never had a problem before this recent update to 3.3.1.  Before, it took, I don't know, maybe 20 minutes to upload all the photos (RAW 12 megapixel files), plus some time for processing.  Now, it takes 20 minutes to import just 75 images.  So last night, I did the import of 900 before I went to sleep.  I imagine it took two or more hours. 
I have the previews set to standard, and nothing else appears to be different from before.  It just seems kind of ridiculous.

Your Aperture library may be damaged. I did not notice any new slowness when importing with Aperture 3.3.1. If your Aperture library is causing this, then the import should be much faster, if you import into a new, empty library - you may want to make test import to compare import times.
If it is indeed the library, use the Aperture "Library First Aid Tools" to repair the permissions and to repair the database:

  • PAINFULLY SLOW launch times with MS Office 2004 Apps?

    Anyone else noticing painfully slow launch times with their MS Office 2004 Apps? It seems that each time I restart my machine and try to open any kind of office document the Word icon will bounce at least 15 times and then it takes forever for the application to actually launch. Once launched it seems fast and works fine, but not on initial launch after restart.
    Is this a Rosetta issue? Should I reinstall the MS Office apps?

    Hi,
    I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
    Exit Code 15
    OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
    I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
    I tried the adobe removal tool
    removing all copies of adobe software manually
    installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
    A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
    /Library/Application Supports/Adobe
    They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
    Cheers,

  • With the new update iTunes lost my important play lists. Anyone else?

    With the new update iTunes lost my important play lists. Anyone else?

    If you have a backup on iCloud or iTunes you would not have lost all your data, the update went fine on my phone and my wifes and many others. On forums you dont see the millions of users saying it went well, just the few with issues. If you had no backup thats not Apples fault, thats yours. The same will happen whatever platform you go to if you dont back your data up.

  • Oss-old version + new update causes MAJOR problems....................

    hey all...
    if ur experiencing quitting apps, probs w/ itunes7, etc, and u have oss (ANY version), get rid of it immediately.........
    the new updated version is even worse than the original.....
    goto the uninstaller or delete it with appzapper (if u can get it to stay open...)
    gl...............

    I have done that, several times.
    So this is where I'm at now - last night, immediately after finishing a movie that was on my WD hard drive, which holds all of my media, music, movies - I restarted my computer and then it would not read the drive. It said it was unreadable.
    I brought the Mac and the drive into an apple store today - they said basically it was my hard drive causing the issues. I used my iPod classic as my media back up as the 160 gb could hold all my stuff. Well, as I mentioned previously, that can't sync and I restored it, with no success. So in essence I lost my media drive and the back up. Tough to swallow, I'm angry, I think it's still mountain lion causing the drive to fail.
    So I resolved to go home and restore my computer to one of my time machine back ups and do a Snow Leopard reinstall. Well, the moment I returned from the apple store, the time machine drive is now listed as unreadable. I called support, spent hours with them - I now have two drives which fried within 10 hours of each other in the same error. The senior support manager agreed it sounds like mountain lion is indeed corrupting my drives somehow. My iMac currently won't start into the recovery disk. So I went out spent $200 to get a new hard drive, which I am now backing up my data onto with a new Time machine.
    In the last week, I've lost my iPod classic, iPhone 4, two external hard drives and now possibly even the Mac itself. I'm going to install snow leopard and see if it alleviates any of my issues, or hopefully can read my drives. I truly believe Mountain Lion is the problem.

  • Slow importing times from cd

    Can anyone help me. i am running windows xp with service pack 3 and i am running itunes 9. i have no problems importing songs from the itunes store when i am online . however when i want to import a cd into itunes, the import times are extremely slow. importing around .06x not like i use to 2-3x .im not sure which settings need to be changed. seems like this happened after updating windows.any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi sadielexus1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your imported music never syncs to your iPhone, you may want to try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes by following the steps in the article below:

  • Acrobat 9.1.2 New Update Causes Print Error

    operating sys: Win XP
    ver: Acrobat 9.1.2
    I'm using a Master file on the printer and marrying my data file to that master.
    Ever since I received the new update, any time I print a file over 35 pgs. from Adobe Acrobat it prints out about 30 pgs. correctly and on the next print it spits out the Master file but for the data it prints out the following error:
    "ERROR: undefined
    OFFENDING COMMAND: limitcheck
    STACK:
    32
    -dictionary-"
    I've tried printing to different printers and on different projects but as soon as throw that .pdf into an InDesign document and print from the InDesign program the project prints out correctly.
    Any suggests as to how to fix this? OR Will this be fixed in the newest update?

    Windows 7 64 Pro, Thunderbird 7.0 (updated recently) : the "publish form" is completely bugged.
    Before reading solutions here : can't find mail program error messages (can't find my adress book in TB)
    After applying the fix : set the by default programm forced on Thunderbird -> http://forums.adobe.com/message/3610561#3610561
    Acrobat "resolves mail adress", then the submit button make a small dialog box appear (can't read anything in it). Nothing happens.
    I can click and re-click several times, same "empty" or "not displaying a message long enough" dialog box keeps appearing. No forms sent whatsoever.
    This is critical. I'm an ACI. I must set up a special training for one of our customers, about delivering forms. Ok, that issue is on my personnal computer, so far.
    I may need to fix the install, or reinstall whatsoever, BUT : can I really come with that kind of answers in a classroom ?
    "-Oh, and now publish the form, by clicking here..."
    "-Oh, that doesn't work ? Hmmm, it's a known issue without any solution. Uninstall everything and reinstall everything, that should work (or not). Yeah, I know, it's Acrobat...
    and no, sorry, I don't have time to uninstall an reinstall everything on all the computers in the classroom, sorry, it's the end of the day. Bye ! What ? You, students, think this
    training was in fact useless ? Hm, you kinda of right...we spent a whole day setting forms, discussed how Acrobat is a cool software, and in the end our forms are good to be dropped to the trashcan."
    May we have a answer from the Acrobat Team here ?

  • How to resolve new update causing sim card to fail?

    Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem with this update causing the sim card to fail?

    I could only confirm what didn't help in my case:
    - removing card was working only for 2-3 weeks
    - replacing sim card didn't help
    - rebooting device didn't help neither
    - reseting device - te same story.
    It is widely reported issue for iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPad2, iPad mini after upgrade to IOS 7.0.6 or 7.0.3
    Funny is that in my case only SIM card from not supported by Apple GSM operator works (I've tested about 12 SIMs).

  • After installing lightroom 5.7 update, the library module has become painfully slow at times. I am running windows 5.7 64 bit.

    I am running windows 5.7 64 bit. I have made no other changes. any help with this.
    I used to be able to cull in lightroom in the survey mode but the delay is too slow.

    I returned to previous 5.5 version of lightroom and it still has the same symptoms. Very slow in library and survey mode. I tried it on various catalogs with the same result. I purged the cache it did not seem to help. Are there any other ideas?
    thanks,

  • I updated my firefox yesterday and am now regretting that desicion. The new version is painfully slow and scrolling is even worse. Is there any way to roll back to my previous version?? Please help

    All pages are very slow to load. Ebay is among the worst. The scolling is choppy at best, and all check boxes and expandable fields just show up blank. Desperately need to roll back the upgrade.

    I'm having a similar problem. Something I've noticed is that the page doesn't seem to advance to whatever I've clicked on without me moving the cursor. I have no idea why that would make a difference.

  • Anyone Else Experiencing Slow Import Times in Aperture?

    I"ve been a Aperture user from the beginning.
    Recently I've noticed a slow down in the processing and overall speed of the program espeically importing of images.  Anyone else experiencing this issue?
    No it's not my RAM got plenty thank you.... I've been working on this machine Mac Book Pro 15" for the last 2 yrs. 
    My last import involved 1500 images Large jpg format and it took over 45mins!  NOT normal.  Considering I normally shoot RAW with a Nikon D800.  Huge files in comparision.
    I've had a couple of Database Rebuilds which have been a new occurence as well.  Just recently started a NEW library on a new set of external G-Raid drives to hopefully CYA if this is just a symptom of something to come.
    If you have any valueable feedback it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Spencer

    When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • New iPhone sync painfully slow

    I have searched the forums but there does not seem to be a fix for the slow sync issue. I am going to try the airplane mode later and see if that helps. I connected my new iPhone yesterday, completed the set-up and then the sync began. And it continued...
    This morning after at least 8 hours of sync time there were only about 300 songs copied over. Is this typical for the first sync? I canceled the sync and will try again. Any other success stories?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    I'm not certain that the iPhone "backup" copies songs/podcasts/etc. (mine doesn't), but I can confirm that there is an issue with backups taking several hours (mine does/did). Since it doesn't seem to be viewed as a problem by Apple, my "fix" was to add some code to the iTunes files to SKIP the backup when copying apps, etc. I recommend doing one (initial) backup, and then turning it "off" or you'll never be able to sync apps, photos, etc. Check the following link for Windows users: http://iphonefreakz.com/2008/07/27/windows-users-disable-itunes-backup-for-faste r-sync/

  • Extremely slow import times

    Whenever I import a folder of MP3s, iTunes will, more often than not, stall for 10 minutes or so before actually processing the files. In Task Manager, Itunes appears as unresponsive, and it shows CPU usage by iTunes to be mostly zero. However, Disk Usage shows it to be reading dozens or even hundreds of unrelated random music files during this time, all under one PID. When the processing is finished, the disk reads disappear.
    This only happens about 40 percent of the time. Other times, it processes the files speedily.

    No major quality loss I'm assuming? I may try it for tomorrow's video and see what happens. It's worth a shot. I rarely use iMovie. I'm an armature at this. Much of what I edit is done on a Mac pro that's not mine. I also import and encode pro res but it when I'm Pulling in full 1080p footage from real cameras. Most times that part is done fore and I simply edit and send to compressor. Never thought this little job would cause me so much grief. And I thought I was smart using my phone and a touch as cameras to be quicker yet just as quality.

  • New quad mac pro - RAW import time, 1:1 preview rendering speed

    Hi
    Does anyone own a new quad core (purchased new 2009) with 4 or 8 ram who may share
    processing times in lightroom 2.3?  How many seconds it takes to render a 5d mark2 raw
    or sraw1 file as 1:1 preview?  How many seconds for a raw to import?
    Trying to determine if a new quad core machine with 8 ram is sufficient to turn around workflow of
    processing 1000-2000 raws per project.
    Thank you,
    Ken

    I can't answer you question with regards to the 5D2 as I don't have one, but generally you will find that the current crop of MacPros is as good as it gets in power terms.
    More RAM is always advisable, if you are thinking of 8GB then you will probably find a use for it!
    Lightroom is multi-core aware and quite happy to use them, it likes lots of RAM especially for 20+ MPx files - maybe think of more than 8 if you can afford it.
    The disk speed is important as well - as I/O access is an important part of LR operation. So big fast drives help - with the MacPro you can get SAS drives - 10,000 rpm but limited (I think) to 300GB.

  • Riplock causing painfully slow DVD Read on 2.93 GHz iMac i7

    I have a 2 month old iMac i7 2.93 GHz with a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA32N (I believe this is the Hitachi) Drive. Ripping my legal DVD's takes FOREVER. To Clarify, it's actually the scanning that takes all the time - 30 to 40 minutes in many cases. My 4 year old MacBook Pro is much faster. I've done a little research online and it appears everyone with this drive is experiencing the same problem and apparently is a Riplock issue - wherein the drive slows down to 2x or 4x speed to prevent disc noise while watching a movie. The problem is, it stalls DVD ripping and sometimes software installation to the point that it almost becomes unusable. Anyone else on here experiencing this same problem? I believe Apple needs to either replace these drives or provide a firmware upgrade that addresses the problem.

    I was having a problem ripping store bought CD's to ITunes and opened a case with Apple for suspected hardware issue. Turns out the problem was Norton AntiVirus by Symantec which was blocking my external drives. Even though the CD is internal it was killing it. Once I shut off Norton everthing started working.
    The way I came to figure out it was a Software and not hardware issue was that the Superdrive worked perfectly under Windows 7 inside of VMWare Fusiion.
    If you have any sort of AntiVirus, try shutting and down and using the Superdrive.
    My machine is the same , late 2011 with with Superdrive GA32N Firmware KE06
