Photoshop CS6 taking a minute to load (Yosemite)

Hi There,
Recently Photoshop started taking over a minute to load - I figured the normal things might be a problem - Brushes / Plugins / Actions etc.
So I removed everything, reinstalled PS and started adding back my brushes etc - and the load times decreased. Happy Days.
Except that it only lasted 3 days before launching slowly again.
A minute doesn't seem like much but it's interminable when you want to do a quick edit.
This time I did a little more research and checked the amt3.log - and found a minute's gap between these lines:

Any suggestions as to how I return this to normal behaviour massively appreciated!

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
Quit Safari if it’s running.
Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion) or open the Library subfolder of your home folder (pre-Lion). Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Finder window open. Try Safari again. If it still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder, and move the following file to the Desktop:
Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Cookies/Cookies.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.

Project taking 5 minutes to load

Hi,
I just publisehd a course with 190 slides. It has some short videos embedded and simple animations. Althought the project loads fast on my desktop, it is taking 5 minutes to load over the web. My users are not gonna want to wait this long. Any suggestions as to what I can do to speed up the loading time?
Thank you,
Heloisa Kinder

Try reducing the preloading % from 100% to something like 20%. Preferences, Project, Start and End.
If that is not sufficient, you'll have to reduce the filesize.

Photoshop elements 10 taking 3 minutes to load

I am using PSE 10 on Windows 7 and Windows XP computers in a networked environment (Windows Server). Until recently the software loaded relatively quickly. Then all of a sudden it took 3 minutes to load.
The software loading sequence is like this:
Welcome to PSE 10 screen; Click Edit; Then Photoshop software appears to load; Click file to do something and an egg timer appears and it takes three minutes before the software has loaded. Once the PSE10 software has loaded it works fine.
Can you help?

Yes, the problem is the welcome screen. it's looking for photoshop.com and that doesn't exist anymore so it hangs up searching for it. Just don't use it. Go into the prorgram files and find the actual .exe file(s) for the editor and/or organizer, make desktop shortcuts for either or both and start PSE that way from now on.

Issues with exporting photos to be edited in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5.6 using Yosemite OS.

Suddenly, I'm unable to edit my photos from Lightroom 5.6 in Photoshop CS6. I have recently converted from Mavericks to Yosemite OS. But, I haven't had any issues for the past week or two. Now, whenever I try to Edit photos from Lightroom 5.6 in Photoshop CS6, either nothing happens. Or from the drop down menu, the option to Edit in Photoshop CS6 is greyed out. Both Lightroom and Photoshop are the latest versions. I've even uninstalled, and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 without any improvement. Help!!!

Sorry, I was wrong about the check box, that only works if you are importing images from a memory card. If they are already in the catalogue, they will be greyed out in either case.
"I'm pretty confident therefore that it is not in the catalog but it appears that Lightroom for some reason thinks it is." Well I can't read Lightroom's mind, but I think that Lightroom thinking it is in the catalog is the same thing as it being in the catalog.
When you still have the edited file open in Photoshop CS6, after you have edited and saved it as "IMG_4312-edit.tif," what happens if you try "save as," does it bring you to the correct folder to save it in? If you try to save as without changing the name does it ask if you want to overwrite the original? Can you now save it with a new name (e.g. "IMG_4312-Edit2.tif") and have it show up?
You type above, "IMG_4312.CRW, I do some edits in Lightroom but I want to do some more in Photoshop so I send it to the PS CS6 from within Lightroom. The image opens, I make my edits and I click Save. This creates a new file called IMG_431-Edit.tif." 4312 vs. 431 just make sure you aren't making the same small mistake when searching for the file.

Web browsers taking 20 minutes to load.

My web browser is taking about 20 minutes to load, whether it is IE, Chrome, or safari. this only started about 2 or 3 days ago.
Is my modem dying, or is it the computer?

Thank you for the additional information. It was exactly what I needed.
Since the computer is older, it would be a great idea to do a full System Recovery; especially if there are no viruses or other malware. This will return the computer to its original configuration when you bought it. It will eliminate any software problems that there might be, also.

Restart/Wake up time taking 30 minutes after installing Yosemite

I installed Yosemite one week ago and everything worked perfectly for the first few days. But then one day I had to restart my computer because I had problems with Steam...My Mac shut down, then restarted to the grey screen. The loading bar progressed slowly (It would have taken 2 minutes to load if it kept loading at that speed) but then it simply stopped by 50%. i restarted again after waiting for 10 minutes, the same thing happened again so I decided to let it running overnight. The next morning my Mac loaded. Then the next day after I shut down my computer the same thing happened again! After searching for help in another computer for 40 minutes, I restarted the computer, the loading bar finally loaded. The time of the process the second time took around 45 minutes.
I haven't seen anyone else with the same problem. Can anyone tell me whats happening?
Also, my Macbook is mid-2010, if it helps.

Defective installation.
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

Photoshop CS6 taking lot of space in Temp file

Hello,
My Photoshop CS6 created a 30GB temp file in the app data folder on the 1st partition (128GB SSD). Saving the project stopped at 98% as it says: full data volume.
Next i tried to put the temp file on the second hard disk (to do so i gave Photoshop the path to the 2nd hard drive under settings). Now it doesnt save the file anymore; it stops at 0%.
My Hardware specs:
Fujitsu Celsius W420 - Core i7 3770
12GB Ram
128GB SSD and 500GB HDD
ATI Firepro - 1GB Vram
Is a 30Gb file too big for Photoshop?

Do you mean PS CS6 is occupying 30 GB of space while saving a particular document?
Does this happen with only that document or with other files as well?
Did you set that partition as Scratch disk?
What is the file size of that file and what does it contain?
Lets optimize PS for best performance and check. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/gpu-opengl-support-photoshop-cs4.html

Firefox is taking 20+ minutes to load a page, why?

This morning, when launching Firefox, I was asked to update to the latest version of Firefox. I accepted, and everything appeared to be fine. Then it tried to update my extensions, when I noticed it got "stuck" at about halfway through. I left it for 15 minutes, but nothing changed - so I hit cancel and launched Firefox. My homepage was taking an extremely long time to load, I expected it to be an internet connection issue - but pages load instantly on Google Chrome which I also have installed. I've uninstalled + reinstalled Firefox, deleted my profile, to no avail. I really would like to use Firefox again.
The pages *do* load eventually, but they take around 20 minutes, and I'm not exaggerating. Even Google, which has always loaded quickly, takes 20 minutes or more, something must be wrong, can anyone help? I miss Firefox!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I cancelled an update halfway through.

^ That is an entirely different crash signature and also on a different platform (windows versus Linux), so replies wouldn't apply.
That is a problem with Flash in Firefox 14:

Photoshop CS5 crashes only minutes after loading up

My dad just recently purchased Adobe Photoshop CS5 for me, and I installed it about 2 days ago. I installed the program 3 times without any different results. After loading up, it runs fine, I'm able to do a little sketch. However, after about 5 minutes, the program stops responding, and then proceeds to close itself out, losing the small amount of work I managed to accomplish before it crashed. I can't get any real work done in it, and even after restarting, defragging,reinstalling, and updating PS CS5, it still crashes after only a short time. Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem? Or how to fix this?
I have Windows XP by the way, and it says it installed completely.

The exact location of Event Viewer might differ from Windows version, to another. I keep mine as an icon on my Desktop. On my XP-Pro, the Path is: C:\WINDOWS\system32\eventvwr.exe.
Here is a look at Event Viewer. I just happened to have had a few errors and warnings, so you can see what it all looks like. Let your dad see this, so he'll know what he's looking at, and looking for:
As for the specs., ask your dad to gather that info for you. The Control Panel>System>Hardware is one place to start, and also, if he goes to Run and types in "dxdiag.exe" without the " (quotation marks), there will be several tabbed screens, with a lot of that data.
Hope that this helps, and good luck,

PlayerMediaCore Taking Several Minutes to Load

What's this PlayerMediaCore.prm that always hangs on startup? It seems 90% of the load time (about 2-1/2 minutes on my 3.5GHz quad-core) is taken up by this plugin. It has a vital-sounding name, so I'm not sure that removing it is a good idea, but it would be nice if there were a way to speed up the load times. Any ideas for improved loading time?

Mark, Your theory about Cakewalk might be worth investigating. VST plugins are usually installed in some shared directory (not sure off the top of my head, but probably something like c:\program files\common files\VST\), and Premiere will attempt to load them if it finds them. One tip to see what's being loaded: there's a 'plugin loading.log' files that Premiere generates during launch time. It'll be in your user folder\AppData location (if you're on XP, this will be under c:\documents and settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\ ; under vista, it'll be c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\ ). I've seen your other posts about terrible frame rates, so I'm not ruling out some problem with PlayerMediaCore. The player plugin has some new component dependencies that are more particular about OpenGL support, so my inclination is that you might need a different driver revision for your graphics card. I'd usually say 'get the latest', but it seems that that doesn't always cover it (I think I've read a few posts here where people actually backtracked a driver revision version to get things working.) What's your graphic card, and what drivers do you currently have installed? Cheers

Itunes taking 5 minutes to load - Windows 7

For the last 2-3 weeks, when I click on the shortcut to load iTunes or if I connect my iOS devices to the computer, iTunes takes up to 5 minutes to fully open on my computer. It will show the outline of the program screen after maybe 2-3 minutes, and then it takes another minute or more to have everything display and be ready for use.
I am currently not having this issue with any other program on my computer at this time.
Any suggestions?

I think 5 minutes is a very conservative estimate. Mine takes between 10 - 15 minutes despite me having done all the iTunes/Windows speed-up hints I've read about elsewhere. Once it is up and running, ticking some actions often sends it into another comatose state although my HDD light suggests it's doing something somewhere.
All other Win7 applications and plug-in devices run fine on my PC - just iTunes behaves this way - and it used to work OK about a year ago when I first started connecting my iPad.

Slow loading photoshop cs6

why is photoshop cs6 taking 6 mins to load have uninstalled all plug-ins as told running on new IMac

Could be that your pointed the optional plugins folder to something wrong, like the root of your hard drive.
Could be that you have thousands of presets to search through.
Without more information about your system, we don't know why a launch that normally takes 7 seconds or less would take so long on your system.

Photoshop CS6 on multiple computers

I received Photoshop CS6 for Christmas - can I load it on both my desktop and laptop

Yes, you can install and activate on a maximum of two computers provided they're both the same platform. i.e. 2 x Windows or 2 x Mac OSX.
You cannot install one copy on a Windows computer and one copy on a Mac OSX computer unless you're a Creative Cloud member.

Photoshop CS6 video

Today I used Photoshop CS6 and it would not load a video in any format. I got an error message that said: "Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available." Is there a fix for this?

DynamicLink is part of the technology that allows Photoshop to work with video. If it is not available, it may have been removed. You are likely going to need to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop to get it back.
