Saving files very slow, and sometimes crashes.

When saving files, it is extremely sluggish, regardless of what the file contains (tons of images, or a few shapes with text). When the "Progress" window pops up, the program will grey out, and display the Not Responding in the header, and appear completely unresponsive. Though it does eventually save the file. This is a work computer, so I don't do anything besides Photoshop and Illustrator. The system specs are:
Windows 7 64
12GB RAM
Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80HZ
I don't see it as being a hardware issue, as I mentioned this delay happens regardless of the type I am working with. I experience this when saving files locally, and saving them on our network, both yield the same results.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this hasn't always been like this. Few weeks ago it was all working flawlessly (even just saving to the network directly instead of copying), it's just been slowly getting worse.

Check your printers. this error is related to the default printer and print service. If you have an offline or unconnected printer, this is most likely your issue.
Remove any offline or old/duplicate references to networked printers. If the printer is timing out, you will experience lag in Photoshop and Illustrator even on fast systems.
If you did not have any old printers, then recreate and update your print driver, as you may have a corrupt .ppd file.

Premier Elements 4 very slow and frequently crash

Dear Adobe support staff,
I've purchased Adobe Premier Elements 4 several yeard ago for an urgnet job I made.
I didn't use it much because it crashes all the time, and it is very very slow and frustrating. So I've used other software instead.
Needless to say that I was very dissappointed.
Now, I want to give it a second chance. but it stiil keep crashing and still very very slow.
My questions:
1. Why does it crash all the time? is there is a fix for the problem?
2. What kind of Graphics Card or Video Editing Card do you recommend for my system to work relatively normal ?
3. How much will it cost me to upgrade to version 11 ?
My system SPEC:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 ultimate with SP1 (32bit) .
CPU: INTEL Core2 QUAD cpu Q9550 , 2.83 GHZ with a 4 GB of RAM.
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT.
Motherboard: MICRO STAR INTERNATIONAL , MODEL MS-7353 3.0, CHIPSET INTEL X48,
RAM: 4 GB Dual Channel DDR2, 400 MHZ , 512 MB memory.
Please advice.
Sincerely yours,
Shimon Tourgeman.

For the crashing, this FAQ Entry might be useful. It starts with a general PrE checklist, then goes into computer and OS tuneup, and ends with many links on troubleshooting and finding causes: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
As for the GPU, any current video card, with at least 1GB of VRAM, will work well. PrE does not place much of a load on the GPU, but it DOES rely very, very heavily on the video driver. Both nVidia and AMD/ATI issue constant driver updates, with nVidia leading the way at this moment.
Also, while talking about drivers, some users have experienced issues with Win8 drivers. I would wait until SP1 has been released for Win8, before changing to it from Win7. For this reason, I just ordered a new laptop, and specified Win7. As the company, ADK, only builds custom and semi-custom video editing machines, they commented that they will ONLY install Win7 at this time, and have been testing Win8, since the first beta. They do not think that it is yet ready for "prime time."
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I still use PrE 4.0, but on XP-Pro SP3, and have only crashed it 2-3 times over the years. At least 2 times, it was due to OE on my part. However, my computer is tuned and built for video editing.

Query runs very slow and sometime freezes

Hi Experts,
I have just installed SAP GUI 710 but when i open a query in analyzer it runs very slow and if the variables are set for more than 6 months it just sits there and finally times out.

Thanks, point will be awarded.

Mail in Firefox loads fast & fine. When I go to Contacts, the system is super slow and sometimes crashes. What do I do?

Issue is simply, why does mail in Firefox work extremely well and then Contacts struggles and sometimes crashes. Thx.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". We might have an answer for you if we knew which web mail service provider this problem is with. Or, you could seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

Hello all,
I have an issue with my development and need your help and feedback for the same:
I have developed various E-Learning courses which was published some in Flash Player 9 and some with version 10. Since Flash Player 10.1 was introduced all my developed courses was running fine. But it's found that user who are using Flash Player 10.1.85.3 is facing issue with file loading and playing the courses. Some time Flash player fails to load the chapters and files after preloading 100%, and sometime it's very slow in loading performance. I like to intimate that all these was not happening with Flash player version 10. Please give me any idea where I am going wrong. Is this kind of issue possible? If anyone faced the same experience. Please give me your valuable feedback.
Please Note: I have faced an scenario that, suppose a user is stuck with loading the course, and after getting stuck he clear his browser cache, and immediately after that the same player start working fine. And loading the course chapter properly. Need help to get rid of this kind of situation.
Thank you

Iphone 4 has been very slow and sometimes doesn;t respond to touch, anyone have the same problem,also discolouration just behind the battery icon, could anyone help

since update ios 7 my iphone 4 has been giving me trouble. sometimes will not respond to touch, is very slow when texting, and battery runs down very quickly when not in use and all apps are closed, has anyone had the same problem

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Start up very slow and sometimes not at all and other weird stuff

Installed Leopard right after its release...had a mail issue which was resolved using phone support. My Macbook seemed to be a bit slower functioning and yesterday I couldn't get into it half the time - it would either get stuck in the screen between starting up and the desktop or would show the apple logo and then a 'no' symbol (like u see with no smoking signs minus the cigarette!) I did manage to persevere and get in and search a few things but the whole time everything was very slow. I downloaded the update for Leopard but its still quite slow and today I have had problems with various random programs being shut down for no apparent reason....any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Helena.

Hello helena:
I am assuming you installed OS X 10.5 by using the easy install (update).
If the problems have been with you from the beginning, I think I would consider and archive and install:

Droid x2 touch screen responce very slow and sometimes not responding.

I've been having issues with my 3g also dropping to 1x and not getting 3g back until i remove the battery also.I did the *228 and seemed to help this situation, but still has a hard time with connecting to 3g. Idk if this a area problem or not. When switching from apps to browser and main screen to browser, i can tap the browser and getting the indicator coming up so i know I touched it.It will delay like 5-10 seconds and sometimes i have to hit it like 5 times before it will come up. Friday i went to a verizon store and they cleared the cache and installed the dolphin browser. it seemed to work better until yesterday when it started freezing and not responding. Sometimes the keyboard will stay on my main screen when i exit my browser. I have to shut the screen off to resolve this issue. this is my second droid x2 and I had 4 droid x's in the last 18 months due to software issues. this is a very annoying issue and am very tired of the motorola devices i've had. verizon offered me a early upgrade but i refuse to purchase another motorola device.

"lags" or "nonresponsiveness" is USUALLY a 3rd Party App sucking the life out of your CPU (processor). Is it reproducible? If so, I would boot into SAFE MODE and test it. If the problem goes away, that pretty much confirms that you have an APP or WIDGET causing your grief ... and time to start Uninstalling things until the problem gores away. the silver "bullet" is a factory Reset - but don't automatically have all your APPS redownload or you'll likely just be back to the same issue.
Do a Search for "SAFE MODE" in the search bar just above ... if you can't find the procedure, let me know.

Computer very slow and programs crash....

My Dual 2.5 has been doing very wierd things lately. First off, the processors and fans work very hard to do simple things like Safari. Second, programs for example Photoshop crash when I try to open them, but work the second time. Thirdly, sometimes when I turn on my computer it stays on a black screen and the fans rev to full speed.
I have updated to 10.4.4, repaired permissions, etc. etc. but nothing seems to help. Do I need to reinstall a fresh copy of Tiger, and if so what is the easiest way to save all my programs, pictures, music, files, etc.?
Thanks guys.

Do a fresh install if your machine is having problems by the time you futz around you can be up and running again.
What you can do is this, get a external hard drive and clone your screwed up OS to it.
Then erase the internal and reinstall Tiger fresh using your same name, drive name and password, update and install apps from original sources, then simply replace folders like iTunes from the clone, contents of users folders, Safari bookmarks and email (in user Library), iPhoto folder and the like.
You can trim out the garbage you've installed over time, get a optimized OS and all the benifits.
Later when your done leaching off the clone, erase it and clone your new boot config to it for safekeeping, any trouble, boot off the clone.
I have some pretty good details and information, take the time to download and read the text files.
http://homepage.mac.com/hogfish
My Mac was refusing to allow a software intiated restart yesterday, so I simply transfered essential folders to my clone, booted off of it, updated the OS, erased my internal hard drive and reverse cloned. My OS is nicely optimized now and I got a bunch of free space.
It's zipping along nice and fast again.

Request for Help - Very slow and programs crash, etc. since upgrading to Lion

I have searched the forum for a while looking for answers, but everyone seems to have different issues.
Since upgrading to Lion last week, EVERYTHING is running slow. I have an iMac (late 2009) with 4GB ram and over 700GB of free hard drive space.
I am not running a ton of heavy duty programs -- just the basics - word, entourage, safari, preview, and occasionally Photoshop, iPhoto, etc. I haven't even tried to edit any video since upgrading.
I continually get the "spinning wheel" when doing the most simple tasks like deleting a mail message, or opening a pdf file.
I have done all software updates.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kim

Entourage & Photoshop are both serious memory hogs. Export your data to Mail, Addressbook and iCal*:
http://www.macmaps.com/entouragemigration.html
Next for Photoshop, make sure to follow tips on the http://roaringapps.com/apps:table website for your version of Photoshop, to ensure you aren't overtaxing your system, and that you are usign any applications that are current for Lion. If you have any WiFi routers, make sure WPA2 password protection is on, and not WEP, and not an open network, and that their firmware has been tested with Lion. Lastly, speed issues may be due to website design. Try different browsers*: http://www.macmaps.com/browser.html

After yosemite update, my wifi periodically runs very slow and sometimes disconnects

Hi there,
After the yosemite update my iMac's wifi has been running super slow, nothing to do with my own internet connection as it's fine, as other computers and devices works fine on the internet.
Recently the only way that I have fixed it is to turn my wifi off, and then turn it back on again, this fixes it for a short amount of time before I need to do it again.
Any suggestions?
this was a screenshot during the time that it was running slow, during the test it went down to about 0.02 mbps download, then spiked to 2.5mbps, causing the average of 0.19mbps.
Upload speed seemed average for my internet connection.

Please look over and use Troubleshooting Wi-Fi

Hello, I just bought the apple Airport Express, and I am suffering from lots of difficulties. It is in the middle of out apartment and from a bedroom, it runs very slow and sometimes doesn't even load. I would like to know what might make it stronger.

Hello, I just bought a Airport Express, and on the first day it has a a weak signal. It is very far from my working space and my apartment has very thick walls that might be blocking the signal. I would like to know if I can do anything to make it stronger or faster. If you know please reply.

You need to move the AirPort Express closer to the bedroom.
You can leave the modem at its current location and purchase a longer Ethernet cable to move the AirPort Express virtually anywhere that you want. The closer that you can locate the AirPort Express to your working space, the better the signal will be.
Standard lengths of Ethernet cables are 6 feet (2 meters), 25 feet (8 meters), and 50 feet (15 meters). Any computer / electronics superstore will have a selection of Ethernet cable from which to choose.

Answers When I click on all pages it is very slow and sometimes times out

we have a report that returns 127,000 rows quickly and displays 25 at a time. i can click on next page and it is quick to display the next page but if I click on all pages it takes forever or times out. Any Suggestions? Thanks, Rodney

These reports are coming from our old system and they want to recreate them.if I had a penny for every time I'd heard that , I'd probably have, well, at least five pence now ;-)
but seriously, this is the classic problem of using a tool for what it's not.
google around a few of the BI blogs, I've read several articles recently along the lines of "top 5 reasons BI systems fail; #1: recreating reports from an old system with a new tool like-for-like". it's a common problem, and a serious one if you want to deliver a top-notch system that's actually going to be useful and value for money.
do you have any clout to work with the users to understand what they need out of the system and demonstrate how it could be better for them to do it a different way?
failing that, dump IE and go FireFox or Chrome. We have a similar browser issue here and in testing I've done IE blows (esp IE7; IE6 and IE8 not so bad) when reports get big.
Also if they're using nav links in each cell, cut those out, that might help the render time.

I installed Firefox 4 two days ago, and my system immediately began to run very slow and/or crashes. Should I re-install earlier version (that opened with google instead of yahoo)? If so, how do I get it?

Additionally I am getting a McAfee warning that "McAfee cannot update you software. Check your internet connection, and then try updating your software manually. If the problem continues please reinstall this software."

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

I upgraded my three year old ipad to IOS 8 and it's working very slow and irregular, can I go back to the old settings?o

I recently upgraded my three year old ipad to IOS 8 and it's working very slow and sometimes freezes. Can I go back to the old system?

No, downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.
You could see if any of the following improve things :
- closing apps via the iPad's taskbar : iOS: Force an app to close.
- if having problems with Safari, clearing its history and data : Settings > Safari
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
- backing up (and copying any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) and restoring
- adjusting settings e.g. turning 'reduce motion' on (Settings > General > Accessibility), turning off 'background app refresh (Settings > General), turn off multitasking gestures (Settings > General)
- resetting back to factory defaults (after copying off purchases and any documents, photos etc that you want to keep) and then resyncing it back

Saving files very slow, and sometimes crashes.
