Numbers got very slow

Hi, I have updated numbers for the new version (Dec, 4th release) and the same worksheet I used to work got very slow, almost impossible to work with. I was wondering if someone else got the same issue.

Follow-up: Over the last several days, both the Apple engineers and the Microsoft have taken a detailed look. To their credit, both companies were seriously concerned and escalated this up to the engineers quickly. The problem is at least clear as in all cases both Apple and Microsoft engineers were unable to get a test spreadsheet with 12,000 rows x 40 columns, plus one row of calculations to draw a chart or do another set of calculations in a timely manner. In all cases, (10.4 vs 10.5, Excel 2004 vs 2008) pre-Intel Macs were 10-20x faster than Intel-based Macs. Of course, Apple blames Microsoft and Microsoft blames Apple. Nonetheless, both companies did ultimately conclude that neither Excel 2004 or 2008 can handle large spreadsheets on currently available Intel-based Macs. The issue is strange in that even turning off the automatic calculations (so there should be minimal use of system resources) does not speed it up. As these spreadsheets run fine in Excel 2007 on even our old 867MHz notebook PC, we'll try Parallels and or VMFusion running Excel 2007 next. If that fails, I guess we'll have to grab up used G5's.

IPad 1 got very slow after installing ios5

After I have installed ios5 my iPad 1 got very slow. I press the settings button and wait for 5 seconds to appear.
Any ideas?

First, we need to accept that the iPad will be slower under iOS5 than iOS4. This is a standard situation, caused by each iOS upgrade being optimized for the newest iDevices – which have much faster processors. (You should see how slow an iPhone 3G is under iOS4!)
Mine isn't dreadfully slow, but it is slower than under iOS4. Apple's ideal solution would be to upgrade to the iPad 2; assuming that (like me) you don't want to do this, the best way to speed up the iPad is to do a soft reset. (This has helped me in almost every situation where the iPad--or my iPhone--got very slow, or had too many crashes.) Hold down the Home button and the Sleep button until the screen first goes black, then shows a white apple symbol. It takes a while to finish resetting, but it clears most of the data that cause the slowdown.
To my surprise, by the way, it appears that shutting the device off (hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" bar appear, then slide) does not do as complete a job resetting the iPad as the soft reset.

It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
You can get it here:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
You can download the latest version from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

IPad one nearly 3 years old has got very slow - ideas?

My iPad will be three years old in June. In the last few weeks it has got very slow - sometimes apps take ages to respond and have to be touched several times - the same with scrolling and in fact any touch control. Even then it is slow to load things.
It is a 64 gb which is only just over half full so I don't think it is because there isn't much memory.
Any ideas?

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
Memory overloads can cause slow down and reboot clears those.

After update to Lion Numbers became very slow and clumsy.

After update to Lion, Numbers works very slow and clumsy. Any solution to fix this problem?

Don't know about being "slow" - I've always felt it was slow. I could run Office XP (maybe 2000 - not sure) on an 133 mhz Pentium and it was faster than Numbers on my late 2008 Aluminum MB.
But I've had other issues under Lion with it. It seems whenever I first go to my spreadsheets after the computer has been asleep - even if it is some time after waking it up - and start to enter some numbers, I'll get a beep and see that what I tried to type didn't come out right and I have to do it again.
I was wondering if it was something to do with the auto-save versions maybe kicking in when I first start to enter info, but before I finish the first entry.

Mac got very slow

got a iMac which is coming up to two years old, recently it has got very slow, sometimes it starts to load then stops, I'm not very technical minded, but any advice would be great.

Hello gitler,
When you have a moment please put the key points into your profile; that will help with any future questions. Yosemite is out of my area but can I suggest you download and apply this program ...
then copy or paste the results as a post in this thread.

Bridge CC just got very slow

I am a very old and experienced Ps/Br professional, but can't get around this. My Bridge CC (on a very nice and fast quad core Windows 7 PC), at some point became very slow.
Even in the Essentials layout, just going through the thumbnails (already 100% cached, even small files, on fast HDDs always) with the arrow keys is quite slow. Opening Br became slow too.
I purged all the cache, I have no weird background programs running, there's 8GB or fast RAM. Br is now unbearable! Any ideas?

Hi guys,
Same problem here. I noticed like 2 months ago this problem and I hoped will be fixed by some update but no. I`m a hard user of Bridge with Photoshop CC, InDesign CC and sometime Illustrator CC to. At home, I use CS6 suite (Bridge included !!!) on a 7 years old laptop and BRIDGE is 10x times faster than the one running at work (Bridge CC) on a dedicated graphic PC, i5 CPU (4 threads), 16 Gb RAM, 2Gb Video card, 512 SSD ecc.
So, can anyone give us some clue/explanation about what`s going on?
Thx a lot for your time.

Suddenly my Macbook Pro got very slow/started freezing

I opened Logic Pro 9 and found that it was really slow, so I restarted the Macbook. When I got logged in again, I noticed that the icons for battery and Airport and clock took several minutes to load. I tried starting Safari, and the machine froze for a few seconds, then opened Safari, but very slowly. The same happens in all applications.
What's wrong???
Look at my signature for Macbook specs.

Could be the hard drive. Open Disk Utility and check to see that the SMART Status is verified. Verify the disk. Check to see that your hard drive is not too full--it should have 15%-20% free.
Also, download and run SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free.
If all this looks OK, then you might try reinstalling the OS by doing an Archive and Install.
Be sure to make a good up to date backup as your first priority. If your hard drive is headed south, you want everything backed up just in case.
Good luck!

Numbers running very slow on Yosemite, new 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 Fusion Drive

When I initially start working in Numbers, it runs very smoothly, but after a minute or two, it drags like crazy. Even just to highlight a cell takes 5 seconds or more. It's really terrible. I've done permissions and disk repair. Any advice as to why this is happening and how to correct it? I have a nearly brand-new Mac desktop, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 drive...almost a terrabyte of free space.

I did just update the Numbers software...still have the problem. However, I noticed that when I "Save" the work, it goes back to running quickly. This lasts about 2 minutes, then slow city again.

HT1423 My iMac has got very slow

The iMac now loads up application very slowly and videos stop for buffering

How much RAM is installed, what is the capacity of the HD and how much does it have on it, are you still running 10.7.5 as your profile says? We really need more information in order to help you out.

WRT54G V8 wired connection recently got very slow. HELP!

Hello, I have a WRT54G V8.0 wireless router. I bought it about 3 months ago, and it was working just fine. But on the last coupe of days, the connection speed became really slow.
The setup is as follow: 2 PCs connected directly by wire, and one connected through the wireless connection. All three of them use Windows XP.
I connected the modem directly to one of the PCs and speed improves a lot. Then I connected only that PC through the router (disabling the wireless connection) and speed goes down again, so I'm pretty sure it's the router.
I did some testing using the speedtest.net website and, with the modem directly connected to the PC, I get 1024 Kbps (my connection) all around the world, but with the router on, connection speed drops to 200-400 Kbps depending on how far the test server is located. I already had the latest firmware upgrade (8.0.0.5) and I've reseted the router back to factory settings, but speed still really slow.
I'm not using any firewall on neither of the PCs, except for Windows XP default firewall.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you have tried all the possible settings on your router to improve the speed. I think it could be the problem with the router's firmware. May be your can do is, Re-Flash the firmware on your router, once the firmware is upgraded Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

TimeCapsule suddenly got very slow.

Strangest thing recently started happening. I have had a 500gb TimeCapsule since december, and it has worked perfectly until this week. Normally I could read/write to the internal drive or externally attached drives at about 6-10MB/s and the internet was very fast. This last week or so I can only Read or write at about 800k/s - 1MB/s. I have tried connecting it via ethernet and wireless with the same results. I also reset it to factory settings and re-set it up with the same results. I am albe to connect to the internet at decent speeds, the same as it has always been. 25mbit down and 7mbit out, so that seems fine. The only other variable is that I upgraded to Snow Leopard last week. Is there some issue with the networking perhaps? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Ryan

The same thing happened to me! (I have two 500GB Time Capsules) One is set up as the main one and one as an extender. Suddenly the transfer rate died on the second one and the first one refused to grab the dhcp information from my router. I reset both of them several times and it would not even find the main timecapsule until I MANUALLY entered the address to connect to it. Additionally, prior to resetting it the green light showing that it was connected to the router didnt even come on. Snow Leopard 10.6.1 DEFINITELY did something. The transfer rate on the second one is still pretty much unusable and I just have not had the time to mess around with it... Prior to Snow Leopard everything worked fine. I need to test this on my mac mini Leopard. I'll let ya know if that does anything...
