Pages'08 super slow with Japanese characters

I understand that Pages'08-slowness has been discussed on this forum already. I'd like to add my experience and ask for ideas. Maybe somebody else has already solved this problem somehow.
When I start writing in Japanese in Pages'08, after some time the application will slow down to the point that it takes 2-3 minutes for Pages to open just a menu or display a character. The HDD is working heavily. I usually try to at least save the document and force Pages to quit.
Quite a disappointment, as I did not have the same problem with the earlier version!
I appreciate your comments.

I should have mentioned this before, but I just noticed that the type lag occurs worst when typing within a table. In a document, I have a table that is four columns by twenty or so rows. When I type or do anything inside the table, the %CPU for Pages is as high as 89%! Outside the table, it's around 20%. In a blank document in Pages, typing takes between 16-20% CPU. Still, that seems like a lot of power, so I checked Word; it uses less than half the CPU, about 7%, while typing in a blank document. Holy cow! (r.i.p. Phil Rizzuto) I did the same test in a new user account and the results were identical.
I'm thinking this is a Pages problem. So, in Pages preferences, I turned off "Show auto-completion list" - no change. Turning off "check spelling as you type" helps some, but still a noticeable and annoying lag. But I don't want to have to turn off Pages' features just to be able to use it. I also tried deleting the .plist files, didn't help. Maybe I'll try a re-install of iWork.
Is it normal for Pages to take up this much CPU? When I get home I'll test it on my G5...

Issue with Japanese characters in files/filenames in terminal.

I recently downloaded a zip file with Japanese characters in the archive and in the files within the archive. The name of the archive is "【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌第一等.zip"
The characters are properly displayed in firefox, chrome, and other applications, but in my terminal some of the characters appear corrupted. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/4R22m0D.png
Additionally, this leads to corruption of the files in the archive. When I try to extract the files, this is what happens:
% unzip 【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌第一等.zip

I'm not sure what could be the cause of this. I'm using uxterm with terminus as my main font and IPA gothic (a Japanese font) as my secondary font. I have a Japanese locale set up and have tried setting LANG=ja_JP.utf8 before, but the results never change.
Also, this issue isn't just with this file. This happens with nearly all archives that have Japanese characters associated with it.
Has anyone encountered this issue before or knows what might be wrong?

Maybe 7zip or another tool has workarounds for broken file names, you could try that.
Or you could try to go over the files in the zip archive one-by-one and write it to files out-1, out-2, ..., out-$n without concerning yourself with the file names. You could get file endings back via the mimetype.
This script might work:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <zip.h>
static const char *template = "./out-%04d.bin";
int main(int argc, char**argv)
int err = 0;
zip_t *arc = zip_open((const char*)argv[1], ZIP_RDONLY, &err);
if(arc == NULL)
printf("Failed to open ZIP, error %d\n", err);
return -1;
zip_int64_t n = zip_get_num_entries(arc, 0);
printf("%s: # of packed files: %d\n", argv[1], n);
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
zip_stat_t stat;
zip_stat_index(arc, i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, &stat);
char buf[stat.size];
char oname[sizeof(template)];
zip_file_t *f = zip_fopen_index(arc, (zip_int64_t)i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED);
zip_fread(f, (void*)&buf[0], stat.size);
snprintf(&oname[0], sizeof(template), template, i);
FILE *of = fopen(oname, "wb");
fwrite(&buf[0], stat.size, 1, of);
printf("%s: %s => %lu bytes\n", argv[1], oname, stat.size);
zip_fclose(f);
fclose(of);
zip_close(arc);
return 0;
Compile with
gcc -std=gnu99 -O3 -o unzip unzip.c -lzip
and run as
./unzip $funnyzipfile
You should get template-named, numbered output files in the current directory.

4G connection super slow with freedome

My internet connection is super slow with freedome. Normally without VPN I get 50Mdown and 10Mup, but with freedome I get only about 8Mdown and 10Mup. My ping is still pretty nice 35ms with your service. (normally I have 25ms ping) I use 4G USB tethered internet from motorola moto E phone. I already tried and they did nothing or made it worse: Tested many other servers/location, Disable firewall and other security applications, Reinstall windows (I had to do it anyway in near future), Made speed tests at different times and many times. I just made a year subcription for your service and atm your service is unusable for me.

Hello The_Monkey,
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Do you still observe speed issues?
Note that any VPN Application will lower connection speed. Also tethering isn't supported with Freedome.

Oracle Report Server Issue with Japanese Characters

We are trying to setup a Oracle Report Server to print the Japanese characters in the PDF format.
We have separate Oracle Report servers for printing English, Chinese and Vietnamese characters in PDF formats using Oracle Reports in the production which are running properly with Unix AIX version 5.3. Now we have a requirement to print the Japanese characters. Hence we tried to setup the new server for the same and the configurations are done as same as Chinese/Vietnamese report servers. But we are not able to print the Japanese characters.
I am providing the details which we followed to configure this new server.
1.     We have modified the reports.sh to map the proper NLS_LANG (JAPANESE_AMERICA.UTF8) and other Admin folder settings.
2.     We have configured the new report server via OPMN admin.
3.     We have copied the arialuni.ttf to Printers folder and we have converted this same .ttf file in AFM format. This AFM file has been copied to $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/gk/JP_Admin/AFM folder.
4.     We have modified the uifont.ali (JP_admin folder) file for font subsetting.
5.     We have put an entry in JP_admin/PPD/datap462.ppd as *Font ArialUnicodeMS: Standard "(Version 1.01)" Standard ROM
6.     We have modified the Tk2Motif.rgb (JP_admin folder) file for character set mapping (Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-1=UTF8) as we have enabled this one for other report servers as well.
Environment Details:-
Unix AIX version : 5300-07-05-0831
Oracle Version : 10.1.0.4.2
NLS_LANG : JAPANESE_AMERICA.UTF8
Font Mapping : Font Sub Setting in uifont.ali
Font Used for Printing : arialuni.ttf (Font Name : Arial Unicode MS)
The error thrown in the rwEng trace (rwEng-0.trc) file is as below
[2011/9/7 8:11:4:488] Error 50103 (C Engine): 20:11:04 ERR REP-3000: Internal error starting Oracle Toolkit.
The error thrown when trying to execute the reports is…
REP-0177: Error while running in remote server
Engine rwEng-0 crashed, job Id: 67
Our investigations and findings…
1.     We disabled the entry Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-1=UTF8 in Tk2Motif.rgb then started the server. We found that no error is thrown in the rwEng trace file and we are able to print the report also in PDF format… (Please see the attached japarial.pdf for your verification) but we are able to see only junk characters. We verified the document settings in the PDF file for ensuring the font sub set. We are able to see the font sub setting is used.
2.     If we enable the above entry then the rwEng trace throwing the above error (oracle toolkit error) and reports engine is crashed.
It will be a great help from you if you can assist us to resolve this issue…

Collation issue with Japanese characters in Oracle8i

Hi,
I have japanese data in a varchar2 column in an Oracle8i instance which contains both single byte and multibyte Japanese characters. The encoding type of the instance is UTF-8.
I want to sort them in such a way that equivalent single byte and multibyte Japanese characters are treated as same. Also while selecting, if I specify the single byte characters in the where condition it should select both single and double byte characters and vice-versa.
The functionality I'm looking for is similar to the one which can be achieved by using Collator class in Java with FULL_DECOMPOSITION as decmposition mode.
Could anyone please let me know how can I do it ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Sourav

Compiling Java code with Japanese characters

I have a Java code with some Japanese characters. My compiler doesn't recognise these characters and gives me error messages.
Please help me.

Obviously it's not the copmiler's fault. You need to fix your code.
Here is a link to the Java Language Specification.
The link is to section 3.8 - Identifiers.
It describes the acceptable naming:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/lexical.doc.html#40625
Perhaps your editor is not saving the text file in an appropriate format.
What editor are you using?

MacPro Running Super slow with Photoshop CS5

My MacPro is running extremely slow with Adobe Photoshop CS5. I have tried uppping the ram usage to over 14 gigs of ram and its still even slower than my macbook pro. the healing brush is the slowest, but even layer masking seems to lag a lot. how can I fix this?

There are dozens of threads, faq, guides, tips on how to configure a Mac especially for CS5. Best places to start.
http://macperformanceguide.com/index_topics.html

Scratch drive or array
Disable Spotlight on scratch
Move your files to scratch for work and then save as you go and move back to media drive when done
fast system drives. maybe even SSD if you can, or 10K 600GB VR
Upping RAM helps if you work with large images, layers, etc (in some cases 16 or 24 or 32GB, and if you can run in 64-bit mode get a little better).

Mid-2010 MBP super slow with 10.9.4 & lots of backups on disk

After four years of recovering beautifully from spills and falls, I think my overly ambitious software updates may have done in my mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
Aside from the usual Internet and word processing, I use my MBP for video editing.
About two months ago, I finally upgraded from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Mavericks (10.9.3) because I wanted to switch from FinalCut Pro X (and my torrented FCP7) to Adobe Premiere CC. I immediately downloaded several Creative Cloud applications and noticed a bit of slowdown, especially when using Premiere. Figuring the Creative Cloud video apps were too much for my old MBP, I deleted everything except Photoshop and Muse, and I purchased a desktop PC for video editing on Premiere (waiting for it to arrive).
I deleted several Creative Cloud applications and about 100 GB of video files (transferred from my Mac HD to an external HD). Immediately after, I saw an available software update and clicked it, upgrading me to the new Mavericks 10.9.4. Right after that, the Creative Cloud desktop app stopped working, so I reinstalled it.
After that, my MBP slowed down considerably. It takes 10-20 minutes to open any application, including Activity Monitor and Disk Utility.
I backed up using Time Machine (took about 8 hours), and I repaired the disk using Disk Utility. Repairing the disk hasn't sped anything up.
I know my hard drive is way too full, but I can't figure out why so much of it is going to backups. Since my hard drive is more than 80% full, shouldn't Time Machine automatically delete local images to bring it back to 80% at the very least? I'm using my external hard drive for Time Machine backups, so I don't know why so many are on Mac HD.
I can think of so many things that could be wrong - I only have 4GB RAM, my hard drive is almost full, and I probably shouldn't have installed Mavericks on such an old system in the first place - I'm not quite sure how to start fixing this problem. I'd like to be able to continue using my laptop for web browsing, MS Office Suite, FCPX, and FCP7. I'd be fine with reinstalling Snow Leopard (I still have the DVD), as long as the files on my hard drive are still accessible.
I'm planning to go to a repair specialist on Monday, but if anyone has advice on fixes I can do in the meantime or things I can do to make his life easier, I'd really appreciate it!

Metacalf,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as you, and I’m running OS X 10.9.4 on mine without problems. I’d highly recommend that you upgrade your RAM; our model can work with 16 GB of RAM when Mac OS X 10.7.5 or newer is installed. I’ve got 8 GB in mine, but I’m not doing any video editing; you’d probably find 16 GB to be best. If your video editing is disk-bound, then you’d also benefit by replacing your internal HDD with a SSD.

Mac Pro is super slow with wireless

So I bought a Mac Pro from amazon and had the mac store by me install the airport extreme card. I have a n spec router for my wireless network. I did a speed test online cause it seemed to be running slow and I was getting anywhere from 9000-12000 kbps on the macbook pro and I can only get about 1500 kbps with the mac pro if I'm lucky. I was trying to download a 50 MB file and it was going to take over a half an hour. I get this same speed with all computers disconnected from the network. I spent three hours on the phone with tech support and went back to the apple store today to make sure it was installed correctly. I'm back home and getting the same speeds and I'm totally out of ideas. Any ideas? Otherwise, is there some third party wifi product I can use to pick up the signal?

Problems working with Japanese characters found in filenames to determine invalid shortcuts

Hi,
I have written a script that uses test-path to query whether or not *.LNK shortcut files have valid Target Paths to determine whether or not the LNK files should be kept if invalid or contain temporary locations. This works perfectly for most shortcuts with
the exception of those with filenames in Japanese/Chinese/Cyrillic fonts.
The script is made up of the following action:-
gci "$nextdrive\Users\$env:username\AppData\Roaming\microsoft\office\recent" -Filter *.lnk | % { $shell.CreateShortcut( $_.FullName ) } | ? { ( Test-Path ( $_.TargetPath )) -eq $false -or $_.TargetPath -like '*temporary internet files*' -or $_.TargetPath
-like '*temp*'} | % { Remove-item -LiteralPath $_.FullName }
If I run the script when a file name exists in the folder above such as : 1、目录.doc.LNK
the Powershell script from the ISE returns the following error:-
"Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is an empty string.
If I rename the .LNK file to something like 12345.doc.LNK, the powershell script successfully removes the file so I know that the issue is certainly related to the actual filename itself. Is there any sort of UTF, CJK or encoding option I need to configure
here for this to work successfully?
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Andrew

The article Johan linked has some sample code which seems to address your issue (using Shell.Application instead of WScript.Shell). Here's a modification of your code that uses this technique:
$shellApplication = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
Get-ChildItem "$nextdrive\Users\$env:username\AppData\Roaming\microsoft\office\recent" -Filter *.lnk |
ForEach-Object {
try
$shortcut = $shellApplication.Namespace(0).ParseName($_.FullName).GetLink
if ((Test-Path -Path $shortcut.Path) -eq $false -or $shortcut.Path -like '*temporary internet files*' -or $shortcut.Path -like '*temp*')
Remove-Item -LiteralPath $_.FullName
catch
Write-Error -ErrorRecord $_
Alternatively, you can use the IShellLink COM class directly. Looks like someone has already written a .NET wrapper for this:

Why is Pages so slow with Mavericks

Seems I'm back to Appleworks on my Quadra 605......dirt slow

I found everything was excrutiatingly slow after upgrading to Mavericks, including Pages. In fact it got progressively worse as days went on. I formatted the drive and clean-installed Mavericks, which seems to have solved the problems. Here is a link to making bootable USB's of Mavericks for this purpose.

InDesign Super Slow with Mavericks?

It seems no matter what I've tried... shutting Fusion, reducing number of window etc
It helps for a short time and then begins to crawl.... even doing a simple postard
It is just deadly working on my 120 page catalogue!!!!!!!!!

InDesign "appears" to be working better since installing the 9.2 update. However, the update has created a new problem – I can no longer print to my printer. Initially it appeared to be a problem with certain fonts or a linked image. I tried printing a document that I printed just prior to the update and printed it with success. I then created a new document, retypeset the information using the same typeface and the document printed with success (copy and pasting same text into a new document did not work). After about an hour or so, I was no longer able to print anything at all!! I cannot print emails, the document I printed just before and right after the 9.2 update. I tried updating the OS from 10.9 to 10.9.1 in hopes it would resolve this new print issue caused by the Adobe CC 9.2 update but I am still unable to print.
Note to self ... DO NOT UPGRADE during your busiest time at work! I thought updrading during a 2 week window of holiday downtime would be enough time to sort out most or all the kinks. However, in all my years of graphic design, I've never upgraded computers, operating systems and new software ALL at the same time. Talk about SENSORY OVERLOAD!!! I have 2 weeks left of my busy season and I'm trying to keep a positve outlook, but fast becoming anxiety-ridden with all of these obstacles and three time-sensitive deadlines due in exactly nine business days.
I am not a computer expert, so I have a great appreciation for the wonderful and informative posts made by those who particpate in Adobe's and also Mac forums. Has anyone run into printing issues since installing the Adobe CC 9.2 Update?
Another important detail / hence not an expert ... I am not exactly sure how my printer has been working with my new Mavericks OSX iMac. Xerox has not released a driver update for the Phaser 6180 yet, but somehow it has been working just fine over the past 3 weeks.
Thank you in advance for anyone's help!

NEW MACBOOK PRO WITH 2.5GHZ CORE DUO ADN 4GB 667 MHZ / SUPER SLOW WITH DSL

I just received this beautiful laptop, which was blazing fast with my wireless connection in the house, but after installing Adobe InDesign CS3 and Office 2008, it takes literally minutes after each click on-line. Any ideas, or is the software too much for this laptop?

Hi,
Could it be that Spotlight is currently indexing all of the new files that were associated with the newly-installed apps? Look at the magnifying glass icon on the far right of the menu bar. If it has a black dot in the middle of the magnifying glass, then Spotlight is indexing files. The indexing process tends to slow down the entire system when it's running. If this is the case, just wait for the indexing to stop, and your system performance should return to normal.
Hope this helps,
Ken

GLSL super slow with JOGL

I'm porting an application from Visual C++ to Java, and I'm using JOGL for the Open GL calls. Everything was going fine until I started using GLSL, then things got really slow. I'm running on exactly the same machine as the original application. The original app was fast, and I have not changed the GLSL code, so I know the problem is not in hardware or in the shader code. Maybe I've got something configured incorrectly? Is JOGL rendering in software for some reason?
If there is a better forum for me to be asking JOGL questions, please let me know.

slow as in, when i load itunes, it takes about 15 seconds before i can choose a playlist or scroll through the source window, (spinning beach ball) and when adding music, the spinning beach ball spins for a bout 20+ seconds before they even start to be added to the playlist window...
im guess its the size of the itunes database file being edited by itunes... currently 17mb... so thats what made me think if i were to loose all my playlists and use the browser (something i dont like the idea of, but would do if it would be faster) it would improve things maybe?? With itunes not open my G5 is fine, but when open it is slowing the system down..
yes itunes folder is on boot disk (diff partition) but yes same disk...
i had a few problems with my external, and although its workin fine at the moment, (i dont trust it to store the only copy of my library) so at the moment im unable to move it off... but i may swap in another ide drive to that enclosure soon.
