Photopshop CS5 too long to save files

Hi,
My Config :
CPU : i7 975 Extrem
Memory : 6 Go ( 3 * 2 Go ) DDR3 1333 Silicon Power
HDD : Velociraptor 150 Go 10.000 rpm
Mothercard : Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
GC : Sapphire HD5750
Issue :
When I save my file in PSD, JPG or anything else this take soooo long time to do. Maybe 2min to save a PSD of a PLV ( 80cm * 200cm ) in CMNJ 300 DPI. When I work on everything is ok except scaling with CTRL+T which take long time too.
Other software are ok only Photoshop take this time to save or scale something.
My Question :
Somebody know why ?

    iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

  • Query designer takes too long to save a query

    Hi dear SDN friends.
    I´m working with query designer in BI 7 and sometimes it takes too long to save a query, about ten minutes. Sometimes it never ends saving and some other times it saves the same query in 1 minute.
    Can anybody please give an advice about this behavior of the query designer?
    We have recently update BI to sp18. In query designer I have sp5 revision 529

  • Taking too long to save projects

    Hi...when I save my project it takes a really long time to
    save. Sometimes as long as a half hour. I am using a 2.3 gig
    processor, and have lots processing speed. When I look in
    "applications" running, I notice that 2 adobe ICONs present
    themselves. I also notice that only 50% of the CPU is being used.
    Why is it taking so long to save these projects? The file size is
    4679.2KB and the Resolution is 720-540. 24 slides with audio and
    pictures. Please give me your thoughts?

    Hi Paully1 and welcome to our community
    There could be many reasons.
    * Your path and file name could be too long
    * Your project could be too large
    * Captivate may need to be "Reset"
    * You could be saving to a network drive

  • Illustrator CS6 64bit takes too long to SAVE

    Hello Adobe Community,
    I have an issue with saving files in my Illustrator CS6 (64bit), the saving process is too long, 5-10 minutes of wait and my laptop is getting iffy while saving. Sometimes Ai crashes in midst of my work or saving and I loose hours of work.
    My laptop: CPU Intel i3, 8GB RAM, 1GB Nvidia Graphics, 480GB HDD, Windows 7 Premium 64bit.
    I tried fixing the problem so far (unsuccesfully obviosly) by doing this:
    1) Running all updates
    2) Uninstalling excess fonts, I only have 180 fonts currently
    3) I do not use FontExplorerProX or similar.
    4) I turned off compression option during save.
    5) I turned off making PDF copy option.
    Same Ai on a much weaker PC in XP SP3 32bit has saving time of few seconds. This issue was nonexistant when I first installed Ai, but as time goes by its getting worse and worse, it seems.
    I need your help and advice for setting Ai to save faster and behave better. Its just unbearable to work at this point.
    Thank you in advance.
    Cheers,
    Vlad

    Main HDD seems great with other programs, checked for bad sectors and fragmentation. All clean and lots of free space.
    No overload in CPU or RAM, system is running smooth. No other programs crash. Checked CorelDRAW, Acrobat, Photoshop and Word.
    I have Microsoft Windows Essentials for security since its not a resource hog and its free.
    I noticed after 4-5 Artboards Ai becomes unstable and crashes. It utilizes no more than 260MB of RAM, CPU doesn't spike over 20%. So its not starving for resources, I think.
    I have a Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet installed, its running in the background. But Ai was slow at saving before I bought the tablet. Seems to work fine with it when I draw.
    I'll try the different account option. Seem a bit unusual reason for the program to be unstable and slow at saving.
    Thx for your support MG. I appreciate it.

  • Consolidating Library Error: File Name Too Long, But What File?

    I am trying to consolidate my library to put all my music (very unorganized) in one spot so I can back it all up. When I try to consolidate, it takes a second to prepare, then immediately brings up an error window saying "Copying Music Failed. The file name was invalid or too long."
    How do I fix this? I really would like to back up my music!

    Hi, ZeroGravity107.
    This can be a tricky problem to figure out since iTunes doesn't specify what file name is "invalid or too long" and there's no documentation on what determines if a file name is "invalid or too long".
    We had one user report that he was able to use his/her keen eyesight to note the last file that appeared before the error message appeared and it turned out that file was the cause of his/her trouble.
    If your eyesight isn't that keen, I'd suggest concentrating on the file name being too long possibility.
    The entire directory path leading to the file is considered part of the file name so, as an example, iTunes' default settings might place a particular file at C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\artist folder\album folder\whatever.m4a.
    Is the directory path leading to your consolidated location much longer than that?
    polydorus has suggested a way to look over your file names: Assuming your music is currently in the default location, make your way there with Windows Explorer and select List in the View menu menu and see if anything stands out as being unusual.

  • CS5 illustrator can't save file

    Hi,
    I have been using CS3 illustrator for the past few years and a month ago I installed CS5 in addtion to CS3, meaning that I have both softwares in the system. Yesterday I decided to uninstall the CS3. Everything went fine. But after that when I used CS5 again, it couldn't save my files. (The files were modified with CS5 in the past month, not with CS3.) I have then uninstalled CS5 and reinstall CS5 again. Problem persisted. I also tried uninstalling that and Install CS3, and then CS5 (similar to the situation at the very beginning, which worked fine), problem persisted.
    Can somebody help me out of this? I don't want to recover my laptop to the factory settings and install all software again.. my presentation is coming in a week.. can't afford that..
    I am using Windows7
    Thanks
    Dennis

    This could indeed be a permissions and ownership problem.
    As far as the file type being generic you might be able to correct this in the properties panel by selecting one file and then make sure that all such similar ai files open in Illustrator but if Illustrator is already listed as the app to open the file then the directory is probably had its permissions change to read only yu will also have then manually change the permissions in the for any directory in that path to the file to read write for all users.
    If this does not work then create a new user log into that user and see if that allows you to save the file.
    I am wondering when you installed or uninstalled you didn't by any chance have virus protection or a firewall active? Because either of those type of applications can alter the permissions in an effort to protect your system from an intruder.

  • QuickTime X takes way too long to save

    I went to trailers.apple.com and clicked download on the 720p version of the Thor and Captain America trailers this morning. It opened QuickTime as usual and downloaded the movies. When I click "File -> Save As..." I tell it to save to the desktop and click "Save". On one, the progress bar gets to maybe 10% and just hangs there forever. On the other, maybe 30% and the same thing happens.
    I've re-downloaded both files twice, and tried to save multiple times, and the same thing happens each time. I've done this before, and it worked. It was quite slow, but it did eventually work. Shouldn't this be working much faster? Once the file's streamed to my machine, it should just need to copy it to my specified location, right? These files are relatively small - 22 and 102 MB. Am I missing something?
    Message was edited by: Starbuck13

    Shouldn't this be working much faster?
    Yes. I just tried saving these two files. The first (21 MBs) took about a second. The other (97 MBs) took about 5 seconds.
    Once the file's streamed to my machine, it should just need to copy it to my specified location, right?
    Yes, the files just need to be saved from cache memory to your hard drive. Sounds as if it's time to run some test. Could be anything from a corrupted/conflicted OS to failing hard drive. If you have a diagnostic package, it may be time to run a test series totry and determine where the problem is located.

  • File name too long cannot copy (cont'd)

    This is a continuation of the post started September 01, 2009, with the last post on
    October 17, 2011 named File name too long cannot copy
    Since this is an ongoing unsolved issue, and the thread was locked, it continues here.
    It is ever so easy to create a long file/path using explorer.exe as will be shown below.
    What needs to be solved is, what is an easy way (no, not by listing out all the files in a directory to a text file and counting characters), perhaps using a shell extension, to find out which files in a directory and it's subdirectories will be (or were)
    too long to copy, (and then perhaps even copying those over either intact or renamed)?
    Maflagulator said:
    I'm running the 7100 build...enjoying it except for one big thing:
    While attempting to copy 402gb from my main storage volume onto a spare 500gb drive (for the purpose of changing to a new RAID array) I've come across something that I would expect a Windows 98 OS to give me.
    It tells me that a file has TOO LONG of a file name, then provides with two unhelpful options: SKIP or CANCEL
    I never had XP give me an issue like this at all, so what gives? And while some specific files did have long file names (such as for songs, etc.) it had 7 issues with folders stating that their name was too long, but in fact they were not since they were
    titled '07-06-07' for the date that I dumped the audio files in them. However, they may have contained FILES with long file names though.
    Anyone else get this same situation? Perhaps the RTM version does not do this? Can anyone verify this regarding their install of the RC or the RTM?
    It made it through 400gb out of the 402gb transfer.
    I'm just happy to see that it doesn't spazz out about an issue like this until it has done all the other transfers that it can do because it saves the issues it has with files until the very end. In XP it would spazz about it the moment it came across it
    causing the transfer process to halt.
    Since long path/file names can so easily be created on Win7, it might be useful to see a typical way this happens, which might then give clues how to work with them.
    In Windows Vista, we learnt from:
    File names and file name extensions: frequently asked questions that:
    Windows usually limits file names to 260 characters. But the file name must actually be shorter than that, since the complete path (such as C:\Program Files\filename.txt) is included in this character count.
    In Windows 7, we are told here:
    File names and file name extensions: frequently asked questions that:
    It depends on the length of the complete path to the file (such as C:\Program Files\filename.txt). Windows limits a single path to 260 characters. This is why you might occasionally get an error when copying a file with a very long file name to a location
    that has a longer path than the file's original location.
    From the Windows Dev Center - Desktop, we read about Maximum Path Length Limitation here:
    Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces
    This helps us understand why a folder can be a maximum of 244 characters, from the defined 260 length of MAX_PATH as follows:
    260 minus C:\ (3) minus <NUL> (1) = 256
    256 minus 8.3 file name (12) = 244
    We also learn there that: The Windows API has many functions that also have Unicode versions to permit an extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters.
    And we read the claim that: The shell and the file system have different requirements. It is possible to create a path with the Windows API that the shell user interface is not be able to interpret properly.
    There is also a comment below this document that reads: In a previous iteration of this document, it is mentioned that The Unicode versions of several functions permit a maximum path length of approximately 32,000 characters composed of components up to
    255 characters in length. This information is now gone.
    So we are in a position where the file system and Windows API can create long path/flies that the shell cannot handle.
    But then we need to be able to handle it, so a little exploration might lead to a better understanding of how to do this.
    For most tasks being performed on long folder/files, Windows 7 and other Windows programs balk when the Path+Filename length > 260
    Let's create a long path/file.
    Create a folder called A at the root of a Drive.
    Create a sub-folder of A called: B
    Create a sub-folder of B called: C
    Make a FILE in sub-folder C called (no spaces or break, one long continuous string): 123456789A123456789B123456789C123456789D123456789E123456789F123456789G123456789H123456789I123456789J 123456789K123456789L123456789M123456789N123456789O123456789P123456789Q123456789R123456789S123456789T
    123456789U123456789V123456789W123456789X123456.txt
    Rename sub-folder C to the string (no spaces or break, one long continuous string) (The actual directory created will be slightly shorter than this full length): 123456789A123456789B123456789C123456789D123456789E123456789F123456789G123456789H123456789I123456789J
    123456789K123456789L123456789M123456789N123456789O123456789P123456789Q123456789R123456789S123456789T 123456789U123456789V123456789W123456789X123456789Y123456789Z
    Rename sub-folder B to the same full string above. (The actual directory created will be slightly shorter than this full length but 2 characters longer than the step above.)
    Rename folder A to that same full original string. (Again the actual directory created will be slightly shorter than this full length but 2 characters longer than the step above.)
    You now have the lovely file placed at (the breaks are just so it fits into the screen):

    You have a folder length of over 700 and a file length of over 250 for a total of over 950
    However you will notice that each folder, when created, could only be a maximum of 247 charachters including the path (example C:\ , & C:\A , & C:\A\B
    This only applies backwards, that is up the path. It did not matter what was further down the path.
    Now, you can't easily access or rename the file, but you can rename the folders easily.
    For best results, start renaming from the top of the Tree, working down the subfolders, because renaming from down up will limit you, and in fact won't work if the folder lengths are too long.
    So how might knowing this help us?
    Well, to copy this long_file from the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive, and keeping the path structure, this should work:
    Note the name of the top folder. Rename it to something very short, say: A (Make sure C:\A does not exist)
    Note the name of the 2nd folder. Rename it to something very short, say: B (Make sure C:\A\B does not exist)
    Note the name of the 3rd folder. Rename it to something very short, say: C (Make sure C:\A\B\C does not exist)
    Make sure D:\A does not exist - then copy the A folder on disk C: to disk D: (which gives you D:\A\B\C\long_file
    Rename D:\A\B\C to D:\A\B\Original_3rd_Folder_name
    Rename D:\A\B to D:\A\B\Original_2nd_Folder_name
    Rename D:\A to D:\Original_top_Folder_name
    Rename C:\A\B\C back to their original names, in this same reverse order starting with C, then B, then A
    Note: If using Explorer, at some points you might have to press the F5 refresh key.
    This is of course how you might copy such long path/files without using the other more "easy" techniques for the "normal" everyday user like:
    sharing a sub-folder
    using the commandline to assign a drive letter by means of SUBST
    using AddConnectionunder VB to assign a drive letter to a path
    using the "\\?\" prefix to a path string to tell the Windows APIs to disable all string parsing and to send the string that follows it straight to the file system
    and so on.
    See how simple Windows can be for Dummies!
    But then, how can we know that files to be copied exceed this MAX_PATH? Or also after a copy has taken place, know exactly which files that have NOT been copied because of exceeding the MAX_PATH limit, and then a procedure to copy these either by renaming
    them, or by copying them intact as they are?
    There have been suggestions to use
    LongPathTool, but this does not have a facility to check a series of folders and tell you which files are going to be caught by the error when copying. So once a copy has taken place using Windows 7, one does not know which files did not get copied, and
    where exactly they are located.
    Neither does the free
    Old Path Scanner do that. It can only check for overly long directory paths, but misses out when the directory path is within limits, but adding in the file name puts it out of bounds.
    So, as shown above, it is ever so easy to create a long file/path using explorer.exe
    So, what then is an easy way (no, not by listing out all the files in a directory to a text file and counting characters), perhaps using a shell extension, to find out which files in a directory and it's subdirectories will be (or were) too long to copy,
    (and then perhaps even copying those over either intact or renamed)?

    This is a not a "solution" ....but a "work around": a low tech fix....for error message "your file name is too long to be copied, deleted, renamed, moved" :
    1.   problem is this: the "file name" has a limit on number of characters.....the sum of characters really includes the entire path name; you gotta shorten it first (i.e, if the total number of characters in the file name + Path name are over the
    limit, the error appears).  The deeper your file folder sub levels are, the more this problem will come up, especially when you copy to a subfolder of a subfolder/subfolder of another path ...adds to character limit)
    2.  How do you know which combined file names + path names are too long if  you are in the  middle of a copy operation and this error pops up?  Some files copied but the "long files error message" says "skip" or "cancel" ... but not which
    files are the "too long" ones.  If you hit "skip" or "cancel" the "too long" files are left behind...but are mixed in with non-offender "good" "short name" files.   Sorting thru 1000s of "good" files to find a few "bad" ones manually is impractical.
    3.   Here's how you sort out the "bad" from the "good":
    4.    Let's say you want to copy a folder ..."Football" ...that has five layers of subfolders; each subfolder contains numerous files:
      C:/1 Football / 2 teams/ 3 players/ 4 stats/ 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong 
           There are five levels root "1 football" with subfolders  2, 3, 4 and lastly "5 injuries"
    5.    Use "cut" and "paste"  (for example to backup all five levels to a new backup folder):
           select "1 football" ....cut....select target folder....paste 
           ("cut" command means as the files are copied to the target destination, the file is deleted from the source location)
          Hint: avoid "cut" and "paste" to a target folder that is itself a sub/sub/sub folder ...that compounds the "characters over the limit" problem ...because the characters in the sub/sub/sub folder are included in the "file name
    character limit"...instead "paste" to a C:/ root directory.
           Suppose in the middle of this operation...error pops up: "5 files have file names that are too long"  Skip or cancel?
           select "skip"  ...and let operation finish
    6.    Now go back and look at the source location: since the software allows only the "good" "short name" files to be copied (and because you "skipped" the "bad" "Long name" files so they are not copied or deleted) ...all that remains
    in the source location are the "bad" "long name files" (because "good" ones were deleted from the source location after the "cut" operation...the bad ones stick out like a sore thumb.
    7.   You will find ....all that remains in source folders are: the "bad" "too long" files; in this example the "bad" file is in level 5:
          C:/ 1 football / 2 teams /3 players /4 stats /5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong
    8.   select folder 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong (that's right...select folder, not file) gotta rename the folder first.
    9.  hit F2 rename folder..folder name highlighted...delete some of the letters in the folder name:
           like this:   5 injuriessidelineplayers  ....you should delete 'toolong'....from the folder name
    10.  then go into folder 5....and do the same operation ...with the too long file name:
            hit F2 rename file....file name hightlighted...delete some of the letters
               like this:  injuriessidelineplayers.....you should delete 'toolong' from the file name
    11.  Now..."cut and paste"  the renamed file to the target backup folder.  
    The Error message will pop up again if you missed any "bad" files....for example, it will indicate "5 files too long" ....then repeat process 5 times until you fix all of them
    12.     Finally, copy the target destination files back to the source location (when you are certain all source location file folder locations are empty) 
    Of course, this "makeshift" solution would not be necessary if MSFT would fix the problem...

  • Siteinfo.sol file path too long

    Hopefully someone here can help with this problem. First, I'm
    running Windows XP Pro. Every night I do an automatic backup of my
    C: drive to an external hard drive (Maxtor) using Maxtor's backup
    software, EMC Retrospect Express HD 2.0. However, the backup quits
    when it tries to write a particular Flash file because the file
    path is too long. The file at the end of the path is siteInfo.sol
    and it is in a folder that is nested within 13 other folders. The
    file path is:
    C:/Documents and Settings/[my username]/Application
    Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Shared
    Objects/5WGFZ2N2/assets.cobalnitra.com/teams/repository/export/535/e93087b291004840/b0003 ba76d6c7/535e9308/7b291004840b0003ba76d6c7.swf
    From the "teams" folder on down through the nesting, there
    are no other files in any of the folders. The simplest solution
    would be to delete the "teams" folder, and thus all of the folders
    within it and the siteInfo.sol file, but I need to know if these
    folders (from "teams" on down) and this file are necessary for the
    operation of Flash Player. If they are, does anyone have another
    solution? I could go into the backup program and manually designate
    that every folder and file on my C: drive other than these be
    backed up, but that's a pain. I would love to call Adobe technical
    support, but there is no phone support for the free version of
    Flash Player.
    Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

    Todd,
    This is a Flash Shared Object that was written to your
    machine by cobalnitra.com. It's like a 'cookie' inside of Flash.
    You can safely get rid of it, though you might lose perhaps some
    saved game settings (or something saved by cobalnitra.com).
    Basically if that site is something you use a lot and does
    something important to you, then keep it. Otherwise you can delete
    everything under the #Shared Objects folder.

  • ITunes installation error - no C-drive, invalid C-drive, or specified path too long

    This is an answer rather than a question as answer to a previous question seemed unresolved and I had similar problem which I have resolved. I thought posting it might help others...
    My OS System disk wasn't set as the C-drive (how or why I'm not sure, but I have several OS installations and 2 hard-drives and must be a result of the way I installed these). And so I had no C-drive at all (except when I plugged in USB Pen's they would appear as C-drive).
    iTunes wouldn't let me install unless I had a C-drive - probably said I had an invalid C-drive or something. So I tried creating a virtual C-drive by mapping the C: drive letter to a new empty folder on my system disk (G-drive) to "C:". See - http://ask-leo.com/i_have_no_c_drive_but_some_programs_insist_on_it_what_can_i_d o.html
    This DIDN'T resolve the problem as it merely created a different error message - it said: "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files" NB This is despite me telling it to install iTunes to the G-drive.
    Solution: I removed the virtual C-drive (ie. mapping of "C:"  to the new folder) and instead in My Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management, I assigned the C: drive letter to a drive partition I use for storing media (I plan to name it back else several programms will fail to store media correctly). I also moved the iTunes.exe installation file to that C: partition in case that helped. Installation (still told to be the G-drive) was now successful.
    What I noticed is iTunes created the following path - C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\ext - and dumped this file there: QTJava.zip Looks suspiciously like an install file for the bundled (and required) updated Quick Time, which it obviously requires to be dumped on a C-drive. Once installed I doubt that file will still be needed, so I'll delete it after I restart (it won't let me at the mo).
    If you don't have extra partitions that you can assign C-drive to, then you could either try Adding (rather than changing) the C: drive letter to your current System disk. IN FACT I'M THINKING THAT'D BE THE BEST THING TO DO ANYWAY as then all programmes will use the correct system disk regardless of whether they think they should be using G: or C: (though I've not tried it, so can't be sure this works). Alternatively I reckon you could connect a USB stick and assign C-drive to that (if it isn't in fact automatically assigned it). Allow it to dump the QTJava.zip file on to it and once installed, you can remove the USB Stick - NB I'd suggest using the Safe Removal. (Well, might be worth restarting first in case it is referencing anything on it that isn't finished until restart.)
    Hope this helps someone as was driving me potty coz I couldn't update my iTunes and thus couldn't sync my iPhone!

    Hi AltafB,
    For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

  • SQL statements in Orchestration take too long

    Hello all,
    I have an orchestration that inside has a Expression Widget.
    In this Expression widget I call several methods from an assembly that I wrote in VstudioC#.
    This assembly get some values from the files beeing processed and does some checking (empty values, accepted values, etc..) and does some select/insert queries into a separate database  that I use for tracking/analysis.
    These sql statement from some time now are taking just too long, taking each file around 5 minutes inside the Expression and some of the sql statement taking as long as 1 minute.
    I've cleaned up the tables from my separate database, as they had more that 2 million records.
    The queries are simple, without joins , etc...
    Any ideas on hot to make this work faster?

    Why are you doing SQL Operations in an Expression Shape?
    The standard BizTalk Pattern would be by the WCF SQL Adapter.
