Save taking forever

Is it just me or is anyone else finding it's taking forever to save a document in Numbers? It's taking 1:10 to save a small document with one table (5 Columns and 306 Lines). Of course, I do get to enjoy the spinning beach ball while I wait. I've already repaired permissions, etc.

Hello
I really don't understand because this kind of doc seems to be a small one.
May you archive it in a zip file and send it to my mailbox:
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
so I will be able to look at it.

Open/Save Panels taking *forever* to open

Hi all
The last few months, the open and save panels have been taking forever to open on my mac (by forever, I mean I will have to sit and watch the spinning beach-ball for at least a minute while the computer thinks about it). It normally (well, always) happens the first time any app has to open them, but then they open fine after that. (until the next application wants to open one).
Is this a global problem with the recent builds of 10.4? Or is it my computer being weird?
Adam

Ah yes.
I seem to remember back in the 10.3 days there was a similar problem with certain applications (actually, I think it was iTunes taking forever to open if you had the iDisk mounted). Anyhow, I shall simply have to change how I store my files (i.e. not on the iDisk by default).
Thanks for the suggestions!

Projects on one drive taking forever to load /conform, while projects on other HDDs are fine

Hi guys, I'm at a bit of a loss here.
I have a Core i7 Win 7 ultimate 24gb ram running premiere cs5.03
I have a ssd drive for os and progs (C), and then 4 other identical 2tb drives for projects. (D,E,F and G)
I have about 8 projects per drive, all the same thing (wedidngs)
I have my last wedding of 2011 to get edited, and it is on the F drive.
I dump all the folders into the project window, but the conforming stage is taking FOREVER (3+ hours and I gave up, an average wedding all the files conform in a few minutes)
The file types are h264 .mov from canon DSLRs by the way, but I have discovered that it must he a problem with my F drive.
At first I thought it was settings issue with CS5 (media cache folders etc..), so I tried changing the media chache drives etc... but nothing helped
Then I tried to open a previous CS5 project that was on the F drive (a project I completed just one week ago) and it just hanged on the loading screen (20 mins and I gave up)
It is strange as the drive isn't nearly full, plenty of space on it (in fact my E drive is nearly full but I can still open all the projects on taht and they load up in the normal time frame)
Nothing else is on the drive, just project folders, the same size and type of projects that re aon all of my other drives, they all work fine, but now all of drive F seems 'corrupted'?
So it seems I have a problem with my F drive (D, E and G are all fine)
I don;t know what the problem is or how to identify it.
I am currently doing the error checking process then I will defrag.
The bizarre thing is, nothing has changed, last week everything was fine, this week I have a problem with that one drive.
I've read online that it helps to have separate sratch disks for video, audio, previews etc...
But with my yearly workflow, it is better for me to just have the whole project (video, audio, previews etc..) on the same folder in the same drive.
This has worked great for the past 6 months, but all of a sudden, any old projects on the F drive hang on the loading page, and any new projects take more than 3 hours to import / conform?
I've tried my best to explain the problem but reading it back my description does seem a bit all over, I guess that's becuase my mind is all over the place due to this problem!
It's my last wedding from 2011 and I cannot get the project started (been at it all day, havent got any editing done, just trying to solve this)
So if anyone has any tips or advice on how to identify the problem, confirm if it is a HDD issue or premier issue (I think HDD as all other projects on the other drives are fine) I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
James

I was just looking back at my copy of the drive and I was able to save 110GB of data
For some reason I think I might have missed some but its to late now since the drive will not spin up anymore.
If you do go this route make sure to do it all at once.
I think I might have waited between tries but can really remember, it was a long time ago and I try to keep better back-ups now.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks so much for your responses,
"I then froze the drive and as soon as I took it out started copying the files to a new drive.
Running CPU-Z or Speccy I could monitor the temp of the drive. As the temp went back up the speed of the drive slowed till I could not copy any more. I just repeated and kept going till I got all the data off.
I still have the drive but even freezing cant geet it back up and running now.
Its not a good meathod since it will ruin your drive but its free and might work."
Sorry I ma not reallt sure on the internal worksings of HDDs, can ask you to explain what this is?
Thanks again for your help

Why is it taking forever to move objects in AI? I am completely up to date in CC 2014

I am working on Trade Show Banners, 8' x 31". Using linked eps files for all the images that have to go in it. If AI isn't crashing, it's taking forever for every thing I try to do!!! So now, if I adjust kerning, I save. It takes 8-10 minutes to save. Next thing - 8-10 min to move an object. Then 8-10 min to save because when it crashes I lose all the work. This is driving me nuts. I have deadlines!

1. What OS? OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Mac Pro
2. How much RAM? 16GB (1066 MHZ DDR3 ECC)
3. Is your Preferences > Scratch Disks set up properly? How much free space on your scratch disks? Scratch disk 1: 379.28 GB free
scratch disk 2: 360.61 GB free
4. Are you doing any raster effects on this large document? If so, how big are they, and at what resolution? (Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings...) CMYK, 300 pip, Transp. Bkgrnd, Preserve spot colors
5. How large are the placed files, and from what source (AI, Photoshop, etc.)? Are you embedding any of the placed files, or are they all linked? All are linked .eps files vary, from 8mg, 12 mg, 32mg, 43mg, etc. all food and equipment shots.
I appreciate any help! I update constantly and it seems that this last update has put a spanner in the works! I've read so many solutions. I use safari, not chrome...
thanks!

Sync suddenly taking forever.

Not sure if my installing iphone developer software did this, but since I did, it is taking forever for my iphone to sync.
It is stuck on step 1 of 5 (Backing up).
Any thoughts?
Been trying to sync this iphone for almost 2 hours.

Ignoring the SDK stuff.
1. for now you can always click the X on the status bar of iTunes saying backing up and it will skip that step and move on.
2. There is a reported issue that has been repeated in here for older iOS's about the Camera roll and backing up taking a long time. Many have found when you save an image to the camera roll from the web or an email that sometimes (nobody isolated if it is size or file type etc) will cause the backup to hang. If you have any photos in your camera roll that were not taken with the camera (eg: you saved to it some other way) email them off to yourself then delete them from the camera roll and try again.
I believe this issue was fixed with the 4.0 updates.

After installing SP3 for BO XI R1 - Crystal Reports taking forever to run.

Hello,
We are running BO XI R1 SP3. Ever since installing SP3 a number of our scheduled Crystal Reports are taking forever to run. The Business Objects server resources are okay, CPU never really gets above 50% so I figure perhaps it's our SQL Server.
We run SQL 2005 and CPU on that hovers around 30%, we've got 4 2.6GHz CPUs with 16GB of RAM. Looking in SQL Server activity monitor the reason the reports are taking some time is that the wait types are generally CXPACKET.
For example a report used to process in a minute however after installing SP3 the report now takes several hours. Since we've 4 CPU's on our SQL Server activity monitor creates four sessions for the report to try and process it in parallel. However all of those four sessions have a wait type of CXPACKET. This I understand is related to parallelism and people have said to reduce that so nothing runs in parallel.
However I should not have to do that as things used to run just fine, there is no physical reason (i.e. RAM / CPU / HDD) that reports are locked waiting in SQL server. Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix please?
Kind regards,
Chris Rutherford

XIR2 has two different redistributable MSI packages. One is compatable with 1.1 framwork applications and the other is compatable with 2.0 framework applications.
try downloading the SP3 MSIs from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009656792008E/crxir2sp3_net_si.zip]
this will have both MSIs
- CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi (for 1.1fwk applications)
- CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi (for 2.0fwk applications)
rename the CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi to CrystalRedist115_x86.msi and replace the existing file in the Bootstrapper folder path
Uninstall the last install, rebuild and try your Click-Once install again. This time you should have the 11.5.3700.0 runtime.

My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

why is it taking forever to load!?

The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
What are these files? Where are they now?
Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
Good luck & happy computing!

Restarting taking forever after Security Update 2014-002

I just downloaded Security Update 2014-002 and my Mac Mini is taking forever to restart after the download and installation process finished. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks and my Mac is stuck on restart! What should I do?
Need help! Thanks.

Tap the space bar on your keyboard once. The dispaly may be sleeping.
The first restart after the update here was longer than usual but I restarted one more time, it was back to normal boot time.
After the restart, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu.
It should say: Verio 1.0 Installed Apr 22, 2014

ADODE MEDIA ENCODER CS5 TAKING FOREVER????

Hello
I have just noticed that AME is not encoding fast enough as it used to. I recently changed my set up to the following,
C : Seagate Momentus XT 500GB (2.5" 7200rpm)
D : Areca Raid Controller 1110 (3 x seagate momentus 7200rpm 2.5" Raid 0) Media Files
E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
I converted my two bay workstation to 4 2.5" HDDs
The sequence I am currently exporting is 23 minutes long and is Matrox HDV 50i, with Matrox colour correction, Magic Bullet Looks and Adobe Auto contrast. This export is taking forever and it has just rendered a sixth of the sequence for 2 hours 27 minutes and indicates that 11 hours 23 minutes remains to render. CPU is not maxed out never had such awful long renders before with my previous setting which had only two logic HDDs.
This was my previous HDD set up
C : Bios Raid 0 (Western Digital Caviar Green 3.5" 7200 x 2 partitioned into C & D)
E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
So currently I am not sure whether I have gone for the better or I have just worsened. I have just exported some clips with after effects and the CPU was maxed out without any sluggish perfomance.
SYSTEM
HP XW6600 Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Dual Xeon 5450 3ghz (8 virtual cores)
32 GB RAM
GTX 285 2GB GPU
Matrox RT X2
Areca 1110
I have got lots of jobs coming up and perfomance has become of paramount importance. I am considering RMA of the 2.5" HDDs here, don't know what to do really? Check out this picture which shows the perfomance I am suffering here.

You need to establish if this is AME or Matrox.
Place your project in a non Matrox project and render again.
Mind you Looks and auto contrast take a lot of rendering.
Best is to ditch the auto contrast and use the Brightness and Contrast.
Effects with auto tend to make a mess of you video.
What preset did you use i find your settings somewhat odd.
I copied all the footage in the matrox timeline and pasted it into HDV timeline. There was no change, the render speed is just the same. The first clip in this sequence is a quicktime mov file 1920 x 1080 (Opening sequence 30 sec long no effects), AME renders this one faster than real time and max out the CPU to over 95%, but when it hits the main content with the filters, the CPU usage drops tremendously. This happens on both matrox and HDV sequences, which leaves with no alternative but to think that the slowness render issue lies with the Red Giant plugins.

My 2009 24" iMac, taking forever to boot...help!

I need help and some advice on my 24" (2009) iMac running OS 10.7, my computer is taking forever to boot up. I was downloading MS Word 2011 via wi fi and then it froze. I shut the computer down by pressing the power button and restarted the iMac up again, the chime came on and the Apple logo is up with the wheel turning, I thought it was booting up...Well an hour has passed and the the screen with the Apple logo and wheel is still turning! I shut down the computer again and power it up again while holding down the Option key. Two icons came up, one for he HD and the other Recovery HD...I click the Recovery and select Disk Utility. I then select the Mac HD and clicked Repair Disk. After it went through that process of repairing, I then selected Repair Disk Permission. After that was done, I selected Restart from the Apple icon on the upper left corner. Again the Apple chimed....the screen and Apple icon and wheel is still spinning...No good the same screen with Apple icon and wheel continued to spin and nothing else is happening. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

As a test you could try booting with the install disk that came with the iMac (disk in drive and startup holding down the 'C' key). If it boots it's likely a good sign that it's an OS rather than hardware problem and that Eric Ross's suggestion of re-installing the OS is the next step.
If you haven't got a back up (hope you have) you can re-install using the Recovery HD but it would mean re-downloading Lion (you don't have to pay again).
