Pages works really slow.

Pages works really slow. The document contains 28 pages. Can anybody help?

That explains a lot. Is there any work around? Or do I just need to increase the speed of my computer?
The way that the iWork apps process Tables is very processor-intensive. There is no good reason that I am aware of so we must assume that there was little attention paid to the efficiency of the code. Tables with Headers and Footers and tables with expressions written in shorthand notation (specifying only row or column rather than full cell addresses) run slower than tables not using these features. Yes, a faster computer will help, but it's an expensive solution and you might still be unhappy with the speed after the upgrade so I wouldn't do it purely for the sake of this problem.
If possible, divide your document into parts (files) that can be edited separately and only assemble the full document when all the parts are complete.

    First of all, did you have PSE installed before updating to 10.10? If so, you need to do this:

    Also, be sure you have updated to 10.10.1. And if you have a large number of recently imported images in the organizer, PSE will be slow till organizer is through creating thumbnails for the photos.

  • My computer works really slow

    My computer started to work really slow even when I just open a folder. It thinks too long then. Half of the memory is almost free, so I was wondering what is the problem?

    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 and start typing the name.
    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 take an action that isn't working the way you expect. 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.

  • ATI + KDE works really slow

    yesterday a decided to install arch linux for the first time and got some problems.
    i tried to install KDE but it works really slow.I mean it takes me 2-3 secs while open Kickoff menu or close some window.
    I googled a bit a i found that there is some bug in last xorg update. but all complaination were from owners of nvidia grafic cards and i got ATI mobility Radeon X2300.
    but i decided to use that solution and downgrade xorg package.
    I downgrade only packages which start wit xorg-server.....
    and prevent them from upgrading again
    i noticed some improvement but its still slow an performance is low. now i doest take 3 sec but only 2
    then i tried to use glxgears but here is the output
    # glxgears
    Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: couldn't open display :0.0
    Because i am new in Arch and linux at all, I  thing that there is some problem with my graffic card driver or something,
    please culd you tell me if  I should downgrade any other package or wait until xorg will by repaired? or what?
    And the second issue. Why I cant use glxgears ?

    i use xf86-video-radeonhd driver
    i tryied to disalbe KMS. it sems to be much more quicker now and glxgears works now, but its still not good.
    here is output:
    glxgears
    993 frames in 5.0 seconds = 198.133 FPS
    1291 frames in 5.0 seconds = 258.007 FPS

    1321 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.190 FPS
    1316 frames in 5.0 seconds = 263.188 FPS

  • I updated my Ipad to ios8. It's working really slow.

    I Updated my iPad to ios8 and its working really slow I backed up my iPad restored it and still having trouble.

    I had this issue with my iPad 4. I rebooted the iPad holding down the two "start buttons," which is the home bottom on the bottom and power button on the top right, in the portrait position. Also check to see if you muted the iPad in settings or just turned down the sound all the way, or some other setting in "Sounds."  I know that may sound stupid but it's an easy fix I'd that's the problem. I'm not an expert at all but I hope this helps. I'm actually having an issue with my update. It asked for a code after the update. Now I have to use it every time and can't get rid of it. Hopefully somebody will read my post!

  • Pages works real slow

    Hello, I'm a Computer Science student and I write all my assignments in Pages, I use a lot MathType in my documents to enter equations.
    Pages gets really really slow and lagging when typing and moving the cursor after filling about half of the page.
    nearly the end of the page it becomes so slow that it i have to wait few seconds for each letter to show up .
    when I finish with the current page and move to the next one, it works perfect, again, until about half of the page.
    Is there a solution for this?

    I met the exactly same problem. I also have to type many math equations in a file. I use mac book pro from 2012, with 16gm ram.
    I almost can not edit my old files which contains lots of equations! too slow.
    If I create a new file, it works ok only for the first few lines, it getting slower and slower along as the new equations added, which are generated by MathType.
    I also turn off the auto check for spelling and grammar, it won't improve. I guess there's problem on the new formate for pictures inserted, since the pages read equations as pictures.
    Getting very angry on this damning update!

  • Is working really slow

    Why is it working so slow and is not as sensitive to the touch as usual?

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • My iphone 4s is working really slow i have to doble click on the icons to get them open, anyone else having this problem?

    Iphone working super slow,having to double click on icons to open them up. Also if the phone is idle when i make a call the person on the other side cannot hear me, so i have to hang up and call back. Anyone else with these issues?

    See this User Tip, and the link there to Step by Step, that hopefully should fix your problems, else you can revert or fresh install Mavericks.

  • I just solved my Pages going really slow problem...

    OMG I don't know why it worked but you guys can try it if it helps. Well, I remember people talking about setting the resolution lower so Pages could run faster so I did that for awhile. But I was so sick of having low resolution that I just set it back to 1280 X 800 but I just set the colors option to thousands instead of millions and Pages now works perfectly for me ^_^.
    So for all of you guys who are frustrated with Pages maybe that would help. Cheers ^_^
    P.S. I also found a tremendous improvement in my system's performance overall after I did that

    if I could scale down my photos to something sensible on the fly.
    Not really.
    Pages does have image placeholders. If you drag an image onto the placeholder it is immediately sized down to the placeholder size. For example, most images in the templates are placeholders.
    To create your own placeholder click on an image in Pages and from the format menu/Advanced/ choose 'define as image placeholder'. Now images dragged on to this will be automatically resized.
    Many inexpensive photo editors like Adobe Photoshop Elements can batch resize/change resolution. If you save it with the same name iPhoto shouldn't lose them. iPhoto can be set also to make your favorite photo editor program the default app when you double click on a photo to edit it.
    There are other options:

  • WRT350n Firmware Update 1.03.7 - Web page load really slow after update

    Well I updated my WRT350N with the new firmware, but now web pages load very slowly, and streaming video is even slower. Before the update it was blazing fast. I run a mixed network of wireless N and G. Both Wireless N connections connect at 200 or higher Mbps now, which is a great improvement.
    Anybody got any ideas why web pages and steaming video run so slow now.
    Also downloading files never goes above 30 kb/sec now.
    I use comcast cable and downloads were so fast before.
    Thanks in advance.

    check the download speed and the streaming video when the computer is directly connected to the modem

  • I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working really slow, so I attempting to close aperture and reopen it but it won't quit aperture and now it won't open up to my photos either.  Any ideas?

    I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working very slowly.  I attempted to restart the computer but it would not allow me to quit aperture.  Now aperture appears in my toolbar but will not open up so I can work on any photos.  Any ideas?

    Did you try opening from the Applications folder?
    Depending on how far that gets you, I would also take a look at the Troubleshooting Basics.

  • My IPad 1 works really slow and very limited amount of apps work on it is there a new software update? PLEASE APPLE LAUNCH A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR IPAD 1

    PLEASE suggest what I shall do with my IPad like, shall I dowgrade my IPad so it works properly? or try to find a iOS 6 or 7 upgrade from a different website

    The apple approved updates for an iPad 1 max out at 5.1.1. If you find a way to put iOS6 or 7 on there you'll be jailbraking it, which means Apple washes their hands of your device.
    unfortunately, software moves faster than hardware. You will likely find, if you manage to hack your device and put 6 or 7 on it that you'll end up with a non functioning brick. Apple doesn't put iOS6 on the iPad one because the one simply lacks the power to run the newer operating system.

  • Really slow internet uploads and images not showing

    I have tried "Disk Repair" and also did a "Reset Safari". Internet pages are REALLY slow to load and all images on websites are little blue boxes with a "?" in it. My internet connection is spotless, all this started right after I dowloaded OS X Mavericks. Please help!

    For images. With Safari open, if you see Develop in the menu bar top of your screen between Bookmarks and Window click Develop. If Disable Images is checked, click there one time to uncheck.
    You can also  empty the cache from the Develop menu. Develop > Empty Caches
    Then quit and relaunch Safari to test to see if images load and that pages load faster.

  • ICal starts and runs really slow

    I have a prblem with iCal working really slow. It takes almost a minute to start up and every added or modified event just ... mrrr ... it is so slow. What can I do ? I have the latest version of iCal on brand new Powerbook 12" on macOS X 10.4.3

    This appears to be a general problem likely related to the change in the way Tiger handles iCal files. Because of Spotlight, each item has to be an individual file in order to be searchable. I think this puts a huge burden on iCal for those of us with lots of calendar items.
    If you create a new user and then create an iCal calendar, is it still slow? It is not for me, which means it has something to do with my main user account, which has events going back to 1996.
    Here is a thread with some fixes (delete preferences, reimport data, etc), but none seem to work for me. Your mileage may vary.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.
