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.

11g (11.2.0.1) - dimension operator very slow on incremental load

Dimension operator very slow in porcessing incremental loads on 11.2.0.1 Have applied cumulative patch - still same issue.
Statistics also gathered.
Initial load into empty dimension performs fine (thousands of records in < 1 min) - incremental load been running over 10 mins and still not loaded 165 records from staging table.
Any ideas?
Seen in 10.2.0.4 and applied patch which cured this issue.

Hi,
Thanks for the excellent suggestion.
Have run other mapings which maintain SCD type 2 using dimesnion operator behave similary to 10g. - have raised issue with this particular mapping with Oracle - awaiting response.
One question - when look at the mappings which maintain SCD Type 2s looks to join on dimension key and the surrogate ids.
What is best practice regarding indexing of such a dimension, e.g is it recommended to index dimension key and the surrogate ids along with the natural/nbusiness keys?
Thanks

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.

Macbook Pro Is Operating Very Slow....

My Macbook Pro is 2 years old. I purchased it from New York . I live in India. Nowadays my macbook is operating too slow. Initial startup is very slow and also launching apps and other function are also working slow. I am little irritated with this,. I need a solution ASAP.

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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Time capsule disk operations very slow

Hello,
My time capsule became very slow since a few days.
File transfert from any computer s(Mac and PC) on the network to the tme capsule is now extremely slow. Does not matter if I user Ethernet or Airport.
No configuration change have been made neither network change.
Thanks in advance for any help.

-To sum up things: The setting "DHCP + NAT" delivers fast copying speeds
Yes. You will eliminate the backroute to the fiber modem or maybe even back to your ISP - depending on their setup.
The standard setting of the router is "DHCP + NAT" right?
Normally the standard setting is good enough to obtain an internet connection instantly (without filling in IP, DNS etc. manually).
Yes, you shoudl not have to fill in those details. Should work straight away as your MBP gets thos edetails automatically (yes?)
best to reset the Airport Extreme to defaults and connect it again using DHCP / NAT

MACbook Pro Operating VERY slow

Let me first clarify, I have a mid 2010 Macbok Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory with a 500 GB Sata Disk Hard drive.
I have had speed issues since downloading OSX Mavericks and my problem keeps getting worse. Around the same time I upgraded to LR5 (lightroom 5). At first I though LR5 was the main culprit. I thought it was a memory hog (still think it is to an extint). So I started closing all other programs whille running LR5 (I did a force quite to make certain nothing else was running in the background). It seemed to make an improvement....for about an hour, then I started having speed issues again. Each time I went to load a new image, I would wait sometimes up to 30-60 seconds. I have played with several settings in LR and spent some time on forums reading about issues and trying to find fixes.
Then one day, while LR was clsoed (I have it open most of the time), I found I experienced several slow down issues onmany other programs. My mail, when I had multiple web browsers open, when ever I seemd to have more than 1 or 2 applications open and running. I thought maybe some of my RAM isn't working any longer. Not the issue according to what I can tell, it seems to be working. So over the last sevral days, I have tried multiple things:
I cleared up space on the Hard Drive. It was very low...down to 17 GB. It gets this way sometimes becasue I am a photographer, but I alwasy move last months images once I enter a new month, so this wasn't anything new. Still, I cleared up space. I now have almost 43 GB of free space. This seemed ot help for about 2 hours and then all the sudden speed issues again.
I installed Omni Disk Sweeper to see if it could find files I wasn't aware were still on my system. Thought maybe I can remove some of them to free up more space. I did find several images on some temp folder I wasn't aware of and I didn't need the images any longer, so I cleaned those up to help get the free space I have now. That also seemed to help fopr an hour or two and then more speed problems.
I then installed ClamXav based on a similar issue I read on the Apple forum. I started trying to run it on the entire user profile I have. Because that is a large area, that is taking exremely long. During trying to run it, on several occasions, my system bogs down (I had everyhting else closed) and it stops running for several minutes and tI ge the ebach ball as usual. Three times, it never seemd to unfreeze, so I had to power down to restart. During the first time I tried running it, it said it found an itm which may have been maleware called Mac Security. It was only an install package and I found nothing else installed or downloaded besides the install package. I don't recall installing anything with that title, but I vaugly recall seeing some add awhile back for it saying it could improve my speed issues. I downloaded the install package, but after reading about the software, I didn't download the package and thought I removed the insatll package as well. So I removed the install package and cleaned out the trash.
Since then, I have tried running the ClamXav again three diferent times and each time it freezes after severela hours and doesn't go any further. The only other thing it keeps finding are exlm files. As I understand, these are related to my Apple mail and are not an issue, so I ddi not deleter them.
Bottom line, is I am tired and fed up. I am by no means a computer expert on either hardware or software and konw just enough to cause myself more trouble. I don't have the cash right now to get my macbook serviced, so I am hoping I can find help here. Any suggesitons are certainly welcomed.
Thank You

Problem System Launch Daemons:
Problem System Launch Agents:
Launch Daemons:
          [loaded] com.adobe.fpsaud.plist
          [loaded] com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist
        [loaded] com.google.keystone.daemon.plist    This can be a problem. It is spyware from Google that can slow things down.
        [failed] com.splashtop.streamer.SRServiceDaemon.plist Failed means that is was too incompatible to load. Should be removed.
The way this works with the Daemons and Agents is that you should try to remove the entire app that is responsible for the daemon or agent. This can involve some detective work. These are .plist files, and if you just try to remove the .plist file itself it probably won't work, because of two reasons:
when the app runs again, it will just generate the .plist file again
Mavericks caches .plist files more than before, and nobody seems to know exactly how to get rid of them from the cache yet. I've asked on this forum and no answers so far.
So the thing to do is uninstall the app that puts the daemon or agent there. The way to do this is:
figure out what the app is that is responsible for that daemon. A browser search for that daemon may help.
then use the uninstaller provided by the developer to remove all of the app. Unfortunately, one of the hallmarks of crapware is there is usually no uninstaller. So in that case, another web search, e.g., "uninstall xxx" , where xxx is the name of the app, may be helpful.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

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.

Operation very slow, Mini Server

Dear all,
my MAC Mini Server takes for each and every operation minutes instead of seconds and currently the updates will end with a failure (All updates could not be proceeded)
Any suggestion to this ?!
Thanks for all help,
Joshua

Volume corruptions and failing disk storage hardware can also cause slowness, but it's not clear what sort of errors you're encountering here.
If you're seeing hardware or I/O errors reported by the Disk Utility repair-volume mechanism, then I'd suggest getting an immediate backup of your (potentially failing?) disk, using Disk Utility, to an external storage device; to a USB disk or similar. Best to get a copy now, should this actually be a hardware failure in progress.
Some number of (correctable) file-protection errors from repair-permissions mechanism is unfortunately somewhat normal for an OS X or OS X Server system, and — if Disk Utility can resolve those ownership or protection settings online or possibly after a reboot and running Disk Utility via the recovery partition — are not usually a problem.
If you're not sure what you're looking at with those errors, then some more details on what was done within Disk Utility (permissions? volume verification?) and a few more details of the particular errors that were reported, would possibly be useful.

Certain 3D Operations Very Slow on 16 Bit Images

I haven't had Photoshop Extended before CS6, so I've been experimenting with doing some simple 3D stuff, such as turning text into 3D shapes and trying to match it to a photographic background.
What I'm doing seems quite simple, and it seems to be working, but there's one glitch: A few things seem to take a really long time. At worst, Photoshop goes completely unresponsive for about 40 seconds.
A good example is this: I have a photo I've opened in RGB/16 mode at 4096 x 6144 pixels, and I create a new Text layer over the photo with one word in it: STOP
I click the 3D button in the Options area for the Text Tool, and wait a full 40+ seconds before seeing the pop-up that asks whether I want to switch to the 3D workspace.
I assume a 40 second delay isn't normal. It's certainly not acceptable.
Once in the 3D editing realm, I can do most things with relative ease, such as moving the 3D mesh around, rotating it, changing lighting, etc. The update time for any of those operations to show is maybe 1/2 second or so to show on the screen. Some things are a little faster. Even rendering it into a pretty clean state is fairly quick - just 10 seconds or so.
I've tested this in both Photoshop CS6 32 bit and 64 bit, and the performance seems about the same, as does the appearance of the long delay.
Other observations:
I also see the long delay if I click on a history step to go back or forward in the history.
If I work on an 8 bits/channel image the 40 seconds is reduced to about 2 seconds.
I have a decent 8 core machine, with (by today's standards) a modest graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 1 GB DDR5. I'm on the ATI Catalyst 12.2 drivers because the 12.4 (latest) set has other problems. But when I did try the 3D stuff with 12.4 the delay was the same.
Example: Going from this screen to the one below takes 40 seconds.
...40 seconds later...
Ultimately tweaking it to look decent seems doable - no crashes or glitches...
Not knowing what to expect, or what I should expect to not try to do, what I'm doing seems pretty simple. Am I trying something I shouldn't? Is it just a given that to do 3D one is supposed to work on 8 bits/channel data?

Thanks Steve.
Wow, an honest 24 cores? Do you physically have 4 processors? I wasn't aware of any actual 12 core chips having become available yet.
That's the machine you use to determine if Photoshop delivers sufficiently fast performance, then?
Here's the additional information you requested:
> Can you zip up the results after 3D extrusion, as well?
I did this:
Opened the 3DTest.psd file.
Chose the T tool.
Pressed the 3D button in the options bar.
Noted in Task Manager that it looked like 1+ cores were busy (i.e., I was seeing 15% to 20% CPU usage overall).
After 40 seconds it asked if I want to switch to the 3D workspace. I chose No.
I then did File - Save As - 3DTestAfterExtrusion.psd, and the file written was 345 megabytes, which seems a bit large considering what's in it.
Then I realized I had left the Maximize PSD and PSB Compatibility setting at "Always".
In the History Panel I clicked on the Open step to undo everything.
I changed the Maximize Compatibility setting to Never.
I then clicked the 3D button again, and this time it did the extrusion and put up the 3D grid almost instantly.
Then I chose File - Save As, and chose the same file.
Photoshop then put up the "Photoshop has stopped working" dialog (i.e., it crashed). I chose "Debug", and this is what I saw:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 13.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4f61c045
Faulting module name: atio6axx.dll, version: 6.14.10.11554, time stamp: 0x4f3b249f
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0000000000b63bf1
Faulting process id: 0x1410
Faulting application start time: 0x01cd3540bcac5b5b
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\atio6axx.dll
Report Id: 13b66384-a136-11e1-8538-005056c00008
Since the module is atio6axx.dll, it sure smells like an ATI display driver problem.
A zip file containing the result of the first save (with Maximize Compatiblity on) is here:
http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/3DTestAfterExtrusion.zip
Since I have had newer ATI drivers installed, then uninstalled them and installed older ones, there is the distinct possibility that something is left over from a prior installation (i.e., something newer than 12.2 is mixed with 12.2) because of ATI uninstaller deficiencies. However, all the ati*.* fand amd*.* files I can find appear to have February dates.

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.

CS6 operating very slow and buggy

A year ago in August 2013 I purchased a new Mac 12 core three point something megahertz 12 gig RAM one gig video card.
I began running CS6 which I had been running for over year on my old computer no problems
after upgrading I believe to maverick, software is barely functional.
My wife still has on an old 2008 tower also running CS6 noticeed a slow down after maverick update. I
I have read through most of the forms it and still have not found an answer.
I'm having a problem with illustrator Photoshop and in design all of these programs take up to five minutes to open
create spinning balls and crash daily..the proble seems to get worse every day
Please help

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.

Keynote file menu and file operations very slow

Anyone else seeing specific slow downs when you open, save, etc or access the file menu on the new version of keynote 5.1 using 10.6.8.
Any fixes?

I will try to make a WebDAV repository out of one on Monday.
I just tried something different though. I logged on as a user with administrator rights, it only took 13 seconds to list the directory instead of 3 minutes plus. The regular user has rights and eventually sees what they should, it is just painfully slow.

Very SLOW Pages 09 when not connectec to the Internet. !!!

Hi:
Im Writing a document that has the following Stats:
words: 7,279
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??

I never used such an item.
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
