Quicktime 7.5.5 slow load time
I recently decided to clean install leopard with the new 10.5.6 just to keep things fresh.
i found that after updating everything quicktime dosent load instantly like before, it takes 5-6 bounces. and even after loading quicktime and quitting reentering takes again the same time etc..
Thought maybe had bad install and reinstalled quicktime 7.5.5, reformatted same thing.
I used Pacifist to downgrade quicktime to 7.2 - worked, quicktime worked as i knew it to.
reinstalled 7.5.5 - slow again. So i started removing plugins from the quicktime system folder, taking out quicktimecomponents.component did the trick, it loads faster but quicktime cant play movies now.. so i switched it with the quicktimecomponents.compnent file from the 7.2 install and viola its all working and fast.
so to conclude for some reason the current 7.5.5 install on apples site has a crappy quicktimecomponents.component file. also i know that 7.5.5 used to have a normal one since prior to the format i had 7.5.5 and it worked fine.
What's going on?
Quicktime 7.5.5 (995.22.3)
No, you have not read my post in the right order if you came to that conclusion. I did a clean install for entirely different reasons. When i reinstalled everything i noticed quicktime was behaving weirdly, it took long to open initially - when before it was instantaneous, and even after the first load when i closed quicktime and reopened it took the same long time - Programs open faster the second time because of cached memory right?
I dare you to download the current 7.5.5 Quicktime on the apple server and reinstall and tell me if i'm wrong
When i played with quicktime it was after the problem not before it, and playing with it made it better not worse. Please re-read what i did emphasizing on the problem not my formatting habits.

I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.
Here is the crash report:

The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

Slow load times on AU sites?
is anyone still experiencing slow load times on AU sites, apparently this is resolved but I just emptied my cache and checked load times on half dozen sites. Still very slow!
I just loaded http://www.prettypollution.com.au/ and it took 17sec.
Got similar time for http://www.designexperts.com.au/ as well. So, although not very fast it's much better than what you’re seeing. Could be something in the node you’re being routed through. -
Page not found, slow loading times CC Files
Hi,
Two weeks ago I reported that there were CC files problems like 'page not found' errors and slow loading times and pages not even showing anything. Those problems were temporarily resolved but are back as of today.
Please fix this because for me this is not workable and I guess for many others. I've already moved part of my design files away from CC Files and am now reaching the point were I want to abandon this beta-ware altogether.
I'm living in Europe, maybe this gives additional info. Maybe server problems only in this continent?
Thanks for looking into this.
JanSo what product would you advice me to file this bug report under? There is no Creative Cloud Files entree or similar.
I'm not sure I'm taken by Adobe support channels policies. if I tweet a complaint some employee tell me I'll be called back by support. Instead of being called back I get asked per email to report on the community forums, when I post on the forum someone tells me to file a bug report. Ehhh...
Time to move on.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a firmware update to address the excessi'vely slow load times for DRMed WMA files such as those from Yahoo!Music Unlimited? I have "cleaned up" my Micro and it still takes a WMA file about 7 seconds to load if I just go to a random one, whereas it only takes about -2 seconds for a random MP3 to start playing. This is rather annoying, and I'm just wondering if the code that does the license check is being optimized.
indo87 wrote:
Try to convert the wma to mp3 with a program doesnt take that long.
But it's a DRM'ed file, so it's not legal--unless you use the program I just mentioned in this thread, and it's bleeding-edge enough that the RIAA might sue them anyway.
That delay is perhaps the only problem with 2.20.05; I didn't have quite as much a delay on DRM'ed files with 2..02. (But I also switched from a Napster To Go trial to YMU at the same time, so that might be part of it.) It's not the 30-second delay that the WMP updates in the FAQ post fix, however. -
Random, excruciatingly slow load time with 7900 Elite small form factor desktops
Hi all, I have approx 300 HP 7900 Elite small form factor machines in my environment that were deployed just over two years ago. from the time of deployment we have experienced on about 50 occasions a random, excruciatingly slow load time that take about one hour for the user to login and open their programs. there has been no rhyme or reason for it, different floors, areas of the building, etc. I searched the forum for similar probs and didn't see one like this, I hope I'm not duplicating efforts from someone else's question... One thing we have noticed is that if we re-boot while it is going through the start-up process, it seems to "make it angry" and will lengthen the overall load time. We use the 32-bit Vista Enterprise OS. This is with a "stock" build, that is to say, our standard corporate build. our security policy does not allow users to install software, by the way. Thanks so much if you can help!
Hi,
How is the issue going? Usually, this error can be caused by missing third-party NIC driver. To solve the issue, we can download the missing network
driver and update the WDS boot image to include it.
In addition to the article provided by Chris, the following blog can also be referred to as reference.

iMovie 08' is taking almost 2 minutes, sometimes over 2 minutes to load my movies from iPhoto. Once they load there are no issues. My movie library is only 46 minutes total runtime and are not HD so it's not like I have a massive library. Any ideas why it's taking so long to load? It's not the system either. I can launch iMovie right after a restart and still the same issue.
Ok I think I've fixed it. After reinstalling quicktime and restarting my computer several times I've gotten everything, including my large movies, to start up just fine. I'm not entirely sure what I've done, but aside from those restarts etc the only thing I can think of that I did was throw away the Perian codec in Hard Drive>Library>Quicktime

We have noticed that lately iTunes U for UW-Whitewater (uww.edu) has been extremely slow, and sometimes even timing out. We have been trying this from various different locations and computers. It appears to be something on the apple side. Has anyone else seen this?
Apple Engineers: Any updates as to what might be going on?Greetings Guys;
We had the same issue yesterday, but the issue seemed to be affecting only the iTunes desktop application. When I would preview using the iPad, load times were normal. The issue seems to have been resolved this morning.

SLOW LOADING TIME TO HOME MENU SCREEN
I've started to noticed increased loading time to my home menu screen whenever I'm using any application. This occurs even when I'm in the Contacts app, SMS app, or any 3rd-party app. Previously before I began to experience this slow lag time, the home menu screen would pop up as soon as I hit the home button. I did a hard reset (Erased All Content and Settings) and the problems still occurs even before I re-installed all of my applications. Anyone else experience this? I do hope the upcoming bug software fix will remedy this annoying problem, along with the lag time in the Contacts app.
Sorry I tried to delete the other duplicate post prior to posting this one. I wasn't able to. The other posting was deleted. I'm not able to view the response. Can anyone please respond to this posting?

Slow loading time of cdn assets from mobile
our requests to cdn got very slow in our mobile version (about 5-15 sec for picture)
in our "regular" site the cdn is working ok. (the devices located in the same place in the same network)
any idea?Is the loading time in mobile device specific to this image? Just trying to understand if there is a lag attributed to device or mobile browser performance. I've not experienced any lag for CDN content in the mobile in the same WiFi my laptop was
connected to. -
Hey BT Support people,
I have been experiencing some pretty much unusable loading times on pretty much every website that I care to load. It even takes a good 30 seconds to download a 34kb email.
I am a web developer and know a good deal about networking e.t.c so I have tried a number of things to try and pinpoint the problem.
Firstly I phone BT, got the nice lady at the call centre to do a line test for me. She called back telling me the line is fine, and so it MUST be my routers. I performed a few test myself and checked the router e.t.c but most importantly I opened the command prompt and typed the following line
tracert www.mcmnet.co.uk
Just a random address. Here were the results of my test

The bold section is what is happening inside BT. Now that, if you ask me is a **bleep** of a lot of bouncing around between routers.
The lady at the call centre assured me it has nothing to do with them but was in fact my fault. ........ As you can see in RED, is how long it took for the hop to get out my house and onto some other routers elsewhere in the world. Less than a few milliseconds. So unfortunately the call centre lady is in fact, wrong.
I am a little anxious to get our internet back up to speed and working again as, my job by its very nature is permanently in need of a quick internet connection, and working from home is certainly not an option if I can't even visit the BT forums without it taking 2 minutes to load each page.
I have checked my router settings and I am getting downstream speeds of 5340kbps. plenty fast enough.
Does ANYONE know what's going on and how to fix it? Appreciated.
ThanksI too am finding the same. A speedtest shows consistent 16.5mbs throughput, ping 34ms. Cleared all browser caches using the inetcpl.cpl command to clear any persistant .txt files and also flushed DNS cache and ran "net stop dnscache, net start dnscache" which can sometimes resolve odd site issues.
No change with many web pages seeming very slow to load. If it were just an odd site then fair enough but it appears not.
Enough have been slow however to cause me to "google" the issue... hence finding this thread. -
Slow loading time on my Website
I just installed iWeb last night, and went about building a practice site. I'm finding that loading times are EXTREMELY slow.
http://www.brianutter.net
I've tried to reduce the size on some of my images by exporting from iPhoto and limiting pixel width, as you can see the site is still super slow. I'm wondering if other folks have experience this and have any helpful tips.
Thanks!
PowerBook G4, 1.5, 1gig Mac OS X (10.4.7)If you use command-shift-4, everything in that selected area gets lifted. In the case of the red image, you grab the image, it's reflection AND the white background that's showing through the reflection. If you convert this image to a .jpg and place it over a white background, there's effectively very little difference but you realize a great change in file size.
Change the color of the page's background, and you see the difference immediately. The reflection loses it effect. Instead of being reflected over black as it would be if it were a .png, it still carries the white reflection since that's the color you lifted from the screen capture. You'd have to take the original file, reflect it, and command-shift-4 to copy a new image with the correct colored background. It's not just a white box, it's whatever color box your current background is. This is an old web trick used for when you needed the high quality color of .jpg and the transparency of a .gif. You just created all your graphics as .jpg's such that they give the illusion of having degrees of transparency (like with iWeb's reflections and shadows). Here's an image that is an example of this.
http://images.apple.com/ilife/iweb/images/overview20060111.jpg
the page it's from
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/
Drop that image on any background other than white to see what I mean by "white boxes around images"
On your pages, you've composited the entire background as one big .jpg, so it doesn't apply. This one is particularly nice.
http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb/kate/Images/puttputt.jpg
Make the .jpg match the page background, and it doesn't require a series of .png's! -
Quicktime audio files extremely slow loading on webpage
I have loaded four audio files onto one page of my website that I created using iWeb. This page is incredibly slow loading and just won't play on many people's computers (mac and pc alike) (including mine!).
Is there something I can use for audio files besides the quicktime player? Is there a way to have the page load faster?
Thanks in advance.Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes. You can use a flash player like the examples on this demo page: Audio Players.
More player types and even a jutebox player is explained and demoed on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians sitge on this page:Music Players.
