PDF's Painfully Slow to Open

PDF's (created with Acrobat XI Basic) are slow to open in Elements 11 - measured in minutes, not seconds - if at all. Windows 7 Pro (x64) SP1. 3.40 ghz Processor. Can you help?

As best I understand, I'm using Reader version 11.0
There is no corporate firewall applicable to this circumstance..

Imac is painfully slow. Opening up applications takes 2 to 3 minutes. This occured just after a failed attempt at downloading a TV episode on Itunes.

I was downloading a TV episode in Itunes when it froze. The download was not completed. I had to use the emergency shut down processes and then restart my Imac. Everything now takes 2 to 3 minutes to open up. I have access to all my applications,as far as I know, but everything including my internet is painfully slow. Almost like itues is still running in the background or something.

Go to user>Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and check to see what applications are using all your memory. You can quit the offending app in Activity Monitor - please let us know what happens,

Itunes 7.5 painfully slow to open in Vista

Hey everyone, whenever I plug in my iPod touch or open iTunes the computer hangs for 30secs to 5mins before I am able to go into iTunes and sync my iPod. I have read other places that iTunes is slow for Vista but they were mostly old articles, is version 7.5 still problematic in Vista? Thanks a lot.

Same for me. The iPod Touch itself is like a dream, very smart device thanks to the amazing intuitive system, but iTunes 7.5 for Windows is the complete opposite! I just spend the entire day trying to get some music, movies and photos on my device but it's been a miserable day of failing, errors, waiting, searching and waiting, waiting for the synching to complete. Sometimes a part of the media did sync, but not all of it and only after waiting for a long, long time! I tried looking for alternatives like MediaMonkey but it doesn't support iPod touch (because it doesn't support usb mass storage i think). My first Apple experience is turning into a nightmare to be honest.....
A number of problems:
- After scanning the Music folder, it appears that only about half of my music was visible in iTunes!
- Syncing mp4 movies from my Nokia Phone only works when i use a 3rd party converter first. If i just use iTunes i can only hear audio, no video.
- Sometimes when syncing a bunch of media files, the syncing process just appears to be hanging, after disconnecting (after an hour or so!!), only a part is available on the iPod, sometimes nothing!!
God i'm tired of fighting and wrestling all day with iTunes. I thought Apple was user-friendly?
Can anyone please help me?

Large mp3 collection painfully slow to open in Mus...

I know my mp3 collection is relatively large (full 16gb class 6 micro sd card) so I expect a bit of lag but im finding access to my mp3's on my E72 frustratingly slow. For example opening my list of Artists isn't so bad but accessing an individual artists list of albums and then opening one of those albums to see the tracks is taking 10-15 seconds each at each step. This also applies when going back out from the list of tracks to the list of albums. Im happy with the music player in general but this one problem is driving me crazy. The only way I can get access music at an acceptable rate is by creating loads of playlists of songs I listen to most regularly but obviously this defeats the point a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions to improve performance in this respect?

This too enfuriates me... amongst other slow response times from the phone in general.
Sometimes it lags on unlocking the phone, answering calls, opening messages can take up to 10-15 seconds... it is absolutely ridiculous.
I have also have a 16Gb card with 7Gb of music. I have two email accounts synchronising maybe once an hour. I have a feeling that this phone just isn't built well enough to handle what it claims it should be able to do.

MBP Retina + ML + CS6 so slow to open & save... tips?

Hi All
Just recently bought a new retina MBP 15" / 2.6ghz i7 / 8gb RAM / 512gb SSD (132gb available). I've got ML 10.8.3 + CS6 (13.1.2 x64).
This is not my primary work computer but I want to use this to do the odd bit of work at home, mainly in Photoshop with files that range from 200-600mb generally in size.
I'm finding however that the computer is painfully slow to open PS files. I'm talking up to 3-4 mins to open a file which is sitting locally on my desktop. Once it's open, performance is fine, however once I go to save, again it becomes painfully slow.
At first I thought it might be Suitcase 4 causing the problems, trying to activate fonts on opening, however even with suitcase closed it's the same.
Here's what the performance settings are currently set to:
I'm really hoping someone can help. I'm majorly dissapointed as my 4.5yo MB 13" running 10.8.2 + CS5 opens/saves in PS in litterally half the time!!
Any suggetions?
THX:-)

Thanks Grant, I've done all that and SMART is verified and when I ran verify/repair disk/permissions it was all good. Still the problem persists however.
I think I'm understanding more about the problem though. I think it's definitely font related.
On opening a file everything initially looks fast, however things take a turn for the worse when the beachball of death appears (and actually PS wants to force quit during this time). After a few minutes it rights itself but bangs up this message:
Alert
Fonts used in some text layers are not available for activation. You will need to replace these fonts before the layers can be used for vector based output.
To test if it's a font problem I opened a locally saved photo (.psd) which had a lot of layers/effects but no font layers. It was approx 200mb in file size (same as some of the web designs I've been trying to open) and it was super duper quick.
Suitcase 4 is auto activating as it should... I'm stumped.

Editing pdf files in Preview painfully SLOW with mavericks! Why? How to fix?

Editing pdf files in Preview is painfully SLOW with Mavericks! With mountain lion everything was so smooth .... Why? How can I fix this?

I stopped using preview. Adobe Acrobat Pro is running fine ... this is not a solution to the problem though. The question remains open: why is preview not running as before?
Why did I upgrade?!

Open and Save dialogs are painfully slow. Is there a solution?

Open and Save dialogs are painfully slow. Is there a solution?

I pulled this part out of one of the topics Barney-15E linked to. It absolutely works! The glacially slow Finder response has been driving me batty in Mavericks. Each time I restarted, it would take forever to list the startup drive when I opened it. Open and Save dialogues were also painfully slow to respond. Now they all snap open and list instantly. I used TextWrangler to comment out the line in the file auto_master, then ran the automount command in Terminal.
Working workaround:
Use the following statements in Terminal.
sudo vi /etc/auto_master
In this file comment out /net with # (#/net .....)
sudo automount -vc
Fixed.
Confirmed here too both for Preview.app Open file sluggishness and Finder window population. Thanks Snaggletooh_DE!
Couple of notes:
(1) Some folks may be more comfortable using a GUI editor like TextWrangler instead of vi
     a) in the Finder use the GO menu and select Go to Folder
     b) type '/etc' ( without single quotes ) in the Go to folder dialog box and press the Go button
     c) Right ( Control ) click the auto_master file in the resulting Finder window. Select "Open with...." and use TextWrangler ( your choice )
     d) Comment out the line by inserting a '#' ( pound sign ) as noted in Snaggletooth_DE's instructions
     e) Save the file ( probably need to authenticate with your admin password )
     f) Do the 'sudo automount -vc' per Snaggletooth_DE's instructions. Will need to authenticate again.
(2) Notice Snaggletooth_DE described this as a "workaround" because it bypasses an Apple bug. Presumably most people have not changed their auto_master file and it worked fine in Mountain Lion and prior. In other words: If you haven't done so already, please continue to submit feedback and bug reports to Apple for this issue.
Kudos to Snaggletooth_DE for figuring out code is trying to look at network ( NFS ) volumes that maybe don't exist.

Acrobat 9 slow to open pdf files through proxy

We are finding that it is very slow to open pdf files from various web sites
though the BorderManager proxy with Acrobat Reader version 9. This is not
the case with earlier versions of Acrobat Reader. We are using
BorderManager 3.8 sp 5. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a
proxy.cfg setting I should be looking to change?
Thanks,

I think this was an issue with older versions of BM that was addressed
with a proxy.cfg setting. Try the one from tip #63 at the URL below.

Preview app is too slow to open PDF from Server Snow Leopard

Hi
After the Lion update into a MacBook Clients the app Preview has become too slow to open PDF files from Mac server OS Snow Leopard.
Preview app isn't not slow to open PDF present into local system hard disk.

if i open network files with Office or other applications there aren't problems.
Only preview app is slow to open pdf's from server.

Adobe Reader 9 - Extremely slow to open a pdf

I just upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Adobe Reader 9. I use Windows XP and Internet Explorer. When I try to open a pdf, it takes about a minute to open. This never happened with the previous versions.
Why is this happening? What can I do? Reinstall?
Thanks,
Lee

I upgraded. Now have 9.4.0 but it's still very slow on opening pdf files. It also stops when trying to go to page 2. Mysterious.

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectal

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot. After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007

For the past two weeks, Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007. currently have Adobe Acrobat X Standard and Adobe Reader X running on windows 7, using microsoft office 2007. is anyone else having this issue?

In an effort to try and solve this I have converted the four reports to native POJO datasources. I thought that maybe the report was looking for the ODBC data source upon which the reports were designed. The ODBC approach was used to help speed up design and development. Now that the DB schema is up and running I can use the POJO and eclipse for preview.
No change in startup and exporting on the QA system.

Photoshop CS3 opening files painfully slow on a Mac

We're having an issue here at work where Photoshop CS3 is very slow in opening files of any size on our Macs.
We're running 10.5.8 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon MacPros with 3 of them having 8 gigs of ram and my machine running 12 gigs.
I've tried doing a bunch of research on the issue, but all I can find about it has to do with the issue on a Windows machine involving the network/default printers. I've tried deleting both our network printers and adding them again after a restart with no luck. We've even tried deleting the Photoshop preference file along with the Adobe Mediabrowser preference.
If anybody has any thoughts on how to fix this (aside from upgrading to a newer CS), they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I think I found a little work around that so far, for the past hour or so is working good. Files are opening up a lot faster.
What I did was create a virtual default printer following instructions I found Adobe's site...
1. Open System Preferences, and select Print & Fax.
2. Choose the + sign to add a new printer.
3. Choose IP.
4. In the Protocol pop-up menu, choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
5. In the Address field, type in localhost.
6. After Generic PostScript printer displays in the Print Using field, click Add.
7. Close out of the Print & Fax preference or Quit System Preferences.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
Once I did all that, I had to go into the Preferences and delete the Photoshop and Mediabrowser preferenses and then restart the computer. Hopefully this fix sticks, but if not, I'm sure I'll back to see if anybody has any other ideas.
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.
EDIT
Well, it's been a few days and it looks like I may have spoke too soon on the above fix. Photoshop seems to be slowly reverting back to the problem.
