Pages Entry So Very Slow

Dear Forum,
Does anybody have any idea why pages (4.0.3) keeps stalling. It is as though after every few words I type, the software needs to think about what it is doing so pauses for a few seconds then resumes. As I am a heads down non-touch type typer, I am thinking about creating the text not thinking I need to pause to let the software “do it’s thing”. The frustration from this stuttered performance is positively excruciating.
All other applications have been quit, the documents I type are fairly short possibly but not beyond 2000/2500 words, there are no graphics in the document. But, entry into Pages is now not viable, simply for the sake of my sanity.
I have switched to an open source alternative, but I like, am familiar and quite simply have always used Pages, so would should I have to switch?
Any help may well save the few follicles I have left on my bonce.

Dear Jerrold & Peter,
Many thanks for your quick replies.
It has to be said that I may being going a bit potty as after reading your replies then logging back into the account that is causing me the problems Pages appears to be running perfectly well. Yet for the last week or so I have had this recurring difficulty.
Anyway I opened up Font Book and validated all the fonts which gave passes to each, but having never even launched this software before it goes into my toolbox for future solutions, so thanks for that. Also the direction to keep Activity Monitor open is an excellent way to see what is going on, even if my little Gremlin has taken some time off from causing his mischief. Again cheers.
As to your other pointers: Lots of HDD space around 50%, no effects or text boxes other than the Inpector. Safari not running (but I see your point).
As for how do I use the system, a number of accounts (mainly non-admin) to divide various aspects of my computing up (only one at a time is open). The particular account I use Pages in is word processor specific some browser use (Firefox 3.6), emails and only vary rarely will I invoke GraphicConvertor.
I’ll see how it goes and if this reoccurs then I drop another note, but for the moment, not knowing what I have done to rectify this, I remain stumped, but grateful it has gone away.
Thanks again.

I've recently posted this issue...my pages app is very slow while typing a document
-I've no background apps in open.
-the file was about 30 pages.
-the text was typed in a table.
-my pages version is 2.1
-my icloud file sync is off in pages
-The document is stored in my ipad and not on the network server
And i have also tried re-starting the ipad but it was of no use.
and please help me..it was very important..

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Page loading is very slow

Hi,
We are using BAPI to fetch data from R/3, at the time of displaying it on the screen, page load is taking time, and scrolling of page is also very slow.
Can you help me in improving the performance of the page.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Firstly identify it is a issue with the BAPI side or not. Test the BAPI in R/3 side. If it takes too long, then tune the ABAP code. If it is fine, then try using cache settings at Iview level.

Murali.

SM58 entries processed very slow

Hi Gurus,
currently we are facing problems with TRFC queue entries, during sometimes all entries are struck up in the queue and processed very slowly. For that we have scheduled a TRFCs processing job, but still entries are getting process very slow.
if any one of come across the similar issue, please provide your inputs.
Thanks and Regards,
venkat.

A SAP notes search with keywords SM58 and performance could give you a start.
For example:
Note 375566 - Large number of entries in tRFC and qRFC tables
Note 460235 - tRFC/qRFC: Low-speed processing

Pages is operating very SLOW

why so slow???
eg. typing, selecting.. etc
anyone else have this problem?
is it just my RAM?
I have relaunched pages several times..

No, my machine is only a few months old and I haven't messed with it at all.
Everything in my document is pretty much all standard stuff also. I don't see why there would be any problems.
My situation is exactly as described by the first respondent. Slow when typing/selecting in tables that have Object Placement as 'Inline'.. which is a pretty standard set-up that I'm sure many people have. But speed is fine if table is 'Floating' or when I am typing outside the table.
Specifically:
- My document is portrait orientation
- Includes some Greek characters(α, β, γ, etc.), some arrows and a .tiff image as well as superscripted and subscripted text
- Fonts are standard
but I don't see why any of this should have any effect as the program should easily be able to handle this.

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
 Cheers, Tom

Answers When I click on all pages it is very slow and sometimes times out

we have a report that returns 127,000 rows quickly and displays 25 at a time. i can click on next page and it is quick to display the next page but if I click on all pages it takes forever or times out. Any Suggestions? Thanks, Rodney

These reports are coming from our old system and they want to recreate them.if I had a penny for every time I'd heard that , I'd probably have, well, at least five pence now ;-)
but seriously, this is the classic problem of using a tool for what it's not.
google around a few of the BI blogs, I've read several articles recently along the lines of "top 5 reasons BI systems fail; #1: recreating reports from an old system with a new tool like-for-like". it's a common problem, and a serious one if you want to deliver a top-notch system that's actually going to be useful and value for money.
do you have any clout to work with the users to understand what they need out of the system and demonstrate how it could be better for them to do it a different way?
failing that, dump IE and go FireFox or Chrome. We have a similar browser issue here and in testing I've done IE blows (esp IE7; IE6 and IE8 not so bad) when reports get big.
Also if they're using nav links in each cell, cut those out, that might help the render time.

My word entry is very slow in Yahoo Mail and in Facebook. I can type a few sentences, and wait a minute for the entire message to appear, character by characte

The problem has gotten bad in the last two weeks. Firefox is using a lot of my cpu time - more than any other program.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Hi:
Im Writing a document that has the following Stats:

Pages: 32
Lines: 689
Paragraphs: 164
Sections :10
Grapics: 2
Characters: 46,916
Character No spaces: 39,831
It also contains a content table.
The thing is today I had no internet at my house and I noticed that pages '09 was Very SLOW openning and Saving My document. I tried with other documents and they all behave as the one described before.
I Describe the document because I have seen posts here of slow pages due to document structure. But I dont think this is document related because it happened it all the documents i opened and even just loading pages. My machine was as allways, all the programs running great except Pages.
I also noticed that when Arrived at work and connected to the internet the Slowliness had ENDED.
Anyone knows what is happening??

There are ways to stop this behavior. The best is to use *Little Snitch* which allows you to stop certain connections being made. Basically when the attempt to connect is made, *Little Snitch* intercepts it and lets you choose: Allow, Allow once, Disallow once, Disallow forever.
4 Users who had *Little Snitch* also noticed that Pages '09 was trying to connect to a web advertising site. Why this happens, ask Apple.
Too late, Apple removed the task

The page is slow because of the VO query.. I have tuned the query... Now its faster....

Adobe flash crashes constantly, certain pages will open, but very slow, or not open at all........never had a problem until I upgraded to new firefox 4

when I go to open a page, it is very slow opening, or may not open at all........circle just goes around.....this is true for any site......mail, sites I have visited many times.......never had a problem until I upgraded to firefox4.......do I need to change firewall settings? If I do, how?
Just updated adobe, it crashes more than not......

First I already have my view set to show everything so that is not the problem.
But I just tried opening "Computer" from the start button then type in profiles.ini in the address bar and hit enter. The profile manager opened with my profile listed. I selected it and hit start firefox and it opened as it should.
I closed it again and tried to open it from the shortcut in my task bar and I got the Sorry window.
But then I tried to open it from the short cut you get when you press the start button and program list and it work!
I went back to my desk top and tried the short cut on the desk top and it worked.
So I deleted the short cut on the task bar and created a new one and it worked.
I rebooted the computer and tried again and the task bar shortcut works and has the right profile.
So it seems that the problem is that the short cut was corrupted and was causing the error that caused the program to fail to open.
I had no idea a shortcut could do that. In the past I have had short cut stop working but never do what this one did.
I still have no idea where the profiles.ini is.

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra
