Opening First Image Takes forever

Hey guys.
Just as the title says, every time i start photoshop CS2 (latest update) (windows xp) the first image always takes a long time to load (e.g. 30 seconds) no matter the image or how long i give photoshop to load first.
Any images after that load basicly instantly.
Any ideas?

switch your default system printer to something local. anything. just not a network printer.

Big delay opening first image: ?

On opening first image, sniffer_gpu runs, takes 30-45 seconds to query the gpu. Then it terminates, and Photohop goes into "not responding" mode for 30-45 sec. After the first image, everything works fine. PS6 extended, I7 cpu, 64-bit, 32 gb ram, boucoup drive space available, nVidia 680M GPU with 4 gig ram. Card added to the support file, is recognized instantly by Premiere and After Effects, and everything used to work fine in Photoshop. This started a couple of weeks ago, without any apparent changes to the system or software. Ideas please?

Thank you for your reply. I have the current driver, but that's a good clue, perhaps the (not long ago downloaded) driver is the problem, and I can
try rolling back to the previous version. Thank you, I think this very well may be the variable, I should have tumbled to it myself! Best regards!

TS5367 why do images take forever to load in my mail?

just upgraded to 10.8.3 and now my mail takes forever to load images, banners, html, etc. even images that were previously loaded arent there when I reopen the program Mail v6.3

Seems like it is still in the downloading process which may provide some lag time. Do you have slow or limited internet?

Opening a folder takes forever

Ever since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks, when I open a folder in spoitlight, on the dock, desktop, etc., it takes forever to open up. I've googled this and seen some fixes, but none have worked for me. I searched through this forum and hadn't seen this question posted yet unless I missed it.

Yes, you've missed the prior discussion.

Disk Utility: new disk image takes forever- computer unresponsive-HELP!

Hello,
I'm using Disk Utility to create a "new disk image from folder." The folder is on one Lacie exernal usb drive, and the target location is another Lacie usb drive (150 GB free).
The folder is 55GB. After 3+ hours, the activity window still shows "creating image" though the progress bar has changed from blue to pulsating blue/white stripes and I have the spinning beach ball of death.
Computer is unresponsive and the only way to terminate is to press the pwr button until everything shuts off.
Why is disk utility hanging like this? (or does it take more than 3 hours to create an image 55GB in size?
I've had no issues with previously creating images, though these were all 15GB or smaller.

USB takes forever....the reason I got a Firewire Ext. Drive.
It's soooo much easier to make a clone doing the following.....
I like the free demo of SuperDuper to make clones. It's free, Tiger and Leopard ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it.
I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on PPC Macs but are on some Intel Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive. Be careful, there are a few external FireWire drives out there that are not bootable on PPC Macs. Check the drive's manual to be sure.

Imaging takes forever?

When attempting to image a 10.4 disc (from apple's retail 10.4 client), the imaging process takes forever...I've chosen to to completely bare-bones...no scripts, add-ons, extra packages, etc.
When finally telling the image utility to begin its process...it takes forever! It has spun for hours in some cases with no (apparent) progress...
I'm on the newest 17" powerbook with 10.4.2, admin tools are updated, everything is updated. I've got 1.5 GB RAM with nothing else running.
What could be going on?
Thanks,
jeremy

I had the exact same problem and it turned out I had accidently placed the wrong subnet into the Network settings. Instead of setting my subnet on the NIC as 255.255.252.0, I had instead used the standard 255.255.255.0. So traffic will go out, but more in a broadcast sense and packets will get lost on the network. As soon as I made the change to the server, I saw network traffic spike and the lab was finished in no time.

Motion 4 keeps freezing. Nothing else open. Changes take forever

Motion 4 is not working. Not sure if its the imac which is the biggest and newest one or if its motion which is also the newest one. Motion keeps freezing and changes take forever, mouse icon keeps thinking and nothing happens

Dude.
Grow some skin. Imagine this exchange...
Patient: I am a white male in my mid twenties and I don't often feel well.
Doctor: Oh - that's because... oh wait... I have no idea, because you provided absolutely no information.
Patient: I did provide information but you weren't listening. I don't often feel well. What part of that is so hard to get? If you don't want to bother to listen then don't respond with sarcastic comments.
Do you imagine there is one set of circumstances or a single setting that leads to performance issues in every case? Project size, duration, kind of project, content, amount of memory, render settings, disk space, media codec, etc. These are just a few of the details that we have no idea about in your case.

Opening New View take forever!

I just installed the latest Oracle Explorer for VS2005. I am trying to create views when I click the "New Relational View" it takes the application about 5 minutes to respond with the creation screen. If I try to edit an existing view the IDE crashes. I am accessing a remote DB hosted by Oracle, we have twin T1 lines for the connection. I have tried changing from a URL to an IP address in the TNS name file, however nothing seems to help. Why is it so slow? Is there something else besides SQL*Plus I can use to create these View, it is unusable!

Hi,
Generally for troubleshooting issues like this you'd want to enable sqlnet tracing with timestamp on to try to narrow down what exact operation is running so slowly.
In addition, you'd probably want to post problems with Oracle Developer Tools in the appropriate forum for increased chance of assistance.

Hope it helps,

First image always slow to load

I am using PS CS2 on my XP based PC and it has worked fine for a number of years. Recently whenever I start PS is loads fine but then the very first image takes ages to load (>1 minute). All subsequent images load quickly as you'd expect.
It doesn't matter where that first image is saved and the size of the image makes no difference.
Today I tried a re-installation but the problem still exists.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks for the replies. It does seem to relate to this and I am also having a spot of bother with the printer. If set the default printer to a PDF generator that I have then the problem is solved.
Now, all I have to do is sort the printer issue... (Very slow to get printing from any program). The printer is on my machine but is available through a network to a laptop - both machines suffer this same PS loading problem.

Bridge CS4 has LONG delay in opening the first image

Photoshop CS4 upgrade was my Christmas present this year. I've been fighting this annoying "problem" ever since then...
I DO see this "problem" on my desktop PC, which is a Dell XPS-400 PC (with 2 GB of memory) running Windows XP (Media Center Edition) with SP3 installed. I DO NOT see this "problem" on my laptop, which is a Dell XPS-1530 (4 GB of memory) running Windows Vista SP1. I installed the Photoshop CS4 software exactly the same way on both machines, and I have the preferences set the same in both Photoshop and Bridge (and Camera Raw) on both machines.
Here's the situation: I first open Photoshop CS4 and then click on the Bridge icon in the Application Bar to open Bridge. When I use Bridge to open a photo, by either double-clicking the thumbnail, or right-clicking on the thumbnail and choose "Open" from the context menu, there is a 42 second delay before Photoshop opens the file. This long delay only occurs when opening the very first file.
Once that first image file is opened, double-clicking any thumbnail in Bridge will have it open in Photoshop CS4 in about 2 seconds. There will never be another long delay in having Bridge pass a file to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) again - until I close the applications and restart them. Once I restart the applications, the first photo takes 42 seconds to open....
This delay does not occur in opening the first image file if I right-click on the thumbnail in Bridge CS4 and choose "Open With" and manually choose Photoshop CS4.
Even if that is how I open the first (or several) image file(s), the first time I try to open a file from Bridge by double-clicking on a thumbnail (or right-click on a thumbnail and choose "Open") there will be that annoying 42 second delay before it opens.
It does not matter what the file format the first image file is (JPG, PSD, TIFF, or DNG), or what the file format of any subsequent image file is. As long as I do not close the Bridge and Photoshop applications, any subsequent file will be passed from Bridge to Photoshop in only a couple of seconds.
I have manually set the File Name Extensions in Windows XP, and in the Preferences in Bridge. Both have been set to open the file types listed above with Photoshop CS4.
I have uninstalled CS4, and have used two seperate Registry cleaners (CCleaner and jv16 Power Tools) before re-installing Photoshop CS4. This had no effect on this situation. I've run "chkdsk C: /r" several times, with no problems reported.
I have been searching through these forums for over 2 weeks now, and I have not seen anyone else report such a problem. I use my XP desktop much more than my Vista laptop, so I'd really like to fix this situation, but I don't know what else to try.
Gregg Mack

Don,
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried them all, but the problem remains exactly as it was. To properly document my efforts:
In Bridge's Preferences, I Purged and Compacted the Bridge Cache, then changed it's location to D:\Bridge_Cache (D:\ is a second physical internal SATA drive).
I can not tell the exact size the Cache is set to, but the slider in Bridge's Preference is very close to the left end (10,000) of the slider.
The Windows Page File is set to 3072 MB min and 4096 max, and it is entirely on the D:\ drive. (I have 2GB of physical RAM in the PC.)
I defragmented the C:\ drive using Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier, and even ran a Boot Time Defrag.
Rather than set some exclusions for Norton Anti-Virus, I jsut disbled that Virus checking program for all of my experiments.
I deleted the Bridge Preference File by holding down the Ctrl key as Bridge was restarted.
I even deleted the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. I then rebooted the PC - twice. I then re-disabled Norton Anti-Virus.
The PC is approaching 3 years of age, but it is a 3.2 GHz Pentium D machine with 2 GB of RAM and two internal SATA drives. Every other application that I run on this machine responds reponsively. Again it is only the FIRST image file that I have Bridge hand off to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) that takes forever. The second and subsequent image files take a second or two.... That doesn't sound like it's an "old hardware" problem to me.
I'm willing to try anything else that you, or anyone else would like to suggest.
Thanks
Gregg Mack

Firefox use to be real quick when I first went online, now it takes forever for my homepage to come up, what is going on?

Ever since this last update whenever I go online it takes forever for my homepage to come up. Is anyone else having the same trouble with Firefox? Use to I could click the icon and right there was the internet now I have to wait and wait and wait. I am about ready to leave Firefox. Another thing it does too, is if I go and look at a youtube video, then when I do open my homepage that youtube video becomes my homepage, instead of what my homepage should be. I am getting so so frustrated. Someone please give me some help on this.

* The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
* As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
* Then opening Firefox again.
Hopefully this helped somewhat!

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.
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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU 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 DU 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.

How long does it usually take from taping the icon until you can take photos?
My iPhone 4 takes 5 seconds, since you're using iPhone 4S I would imagine it should take no more 5 seconds.
Having said that, holding the Home and Sleep/Wake button until your iPhone restarts has shown to show improvements in overall performance (since it quits all applications). Users I know have also experiance better performance by updating to the latest version of iOS.
