Saving images takes much longer now?

About six weeks ago, saving images started to take much longer than they used to
. Elements 11.

I have been doing all kinds of editing - it doesn't seem to make much difference what or if I save as JPEG or TIFF. I am using Windows 7. I am saving to the original folder. I have saved and closwed these files from the Editor. The Organizer freezes and I just have to wait to do anything else?
Thanks

AE CC - saving projects takes much longer than in CS6

I've noticed that After Effects CC takes much longer to save my current project than previously (about 2-3 minutes). I'm used to saving quite often so this is slowing down my workflow.
The project was imported from AE CS6. I've tried starting a new project and importing the previous one manually (instead of a conversion). Same lag.
All unused footage has been taken out and the footage has been consolidated.
The AE CS6 project file and AE CC file are about 15mb so CC is not any bigger.
There are about 50 files in Arri Raw 3K, the rest is in DPX and ProRes 1080p.
I'm working from a Macbook Pro Retina 16GB Ram and all media and cache are on an external Lacie Big Disk thunderbolt Raid SSD.
My impression is that AE CC is indexing all the files before saving so it's going through all the RAW sequenced files. This could slow down the saving process quite a lot.
Is anyone experiencing the same lag time while saving projects?

I'm having the same issue on my PC, saving is taking much longer and is also happening every time I RAM preview. Very strange, and in fact now its having trouble accessing the save location, a local hard drive. any answers for this isse?

After installing update takes much longer to go to sleep

After I installed the latest security update (2005-08) I noticed that my powerbook takes much longer now to go to sleep. In fact it can now take somewhere around 30 seconds to finally show me the blinking eye (or whatever that is called). Before the update, it went to sleep in just a few seconds, it never took that long. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
This is a powerbook G4 with 10.4.2.

Ok, please forget about this post. It's amazing what a reboot can do

Save takes MUCH longer with images placed

When I have images placed in Illustrator, even just a few small ones, Save takes much longer..so long that it can be 20 seconds before I even see the progress bar, and after that the saving actually happens.
Is there a way around this, or are we stuck wtih mind-numbing save times when we have raster elements placed in Illustrator?
thank you!

When purchased, my imac would load pages very quickly. Now, the pages seem to take much longer to load and when watching video or streaming, it often stops to catch up or rebuffer. What do I do to speed things up?

When I purchased my iMac last month the pages would load quickly when using the internet browser. Now it takes much longer to load the pages and when I watch a video it pauses to catch up or is rebuffering the streaming. What can I do to speed up my browser?

After installing VS 2013 my Excel/Word/PowerPoint 2010 student edition takes much longer to start-up...

Hi,
After installing Visual Studio Community 2013, my Excel/Word/PowerPoint 2010 student edition takes much longer to start-up. Whenever I open Excel/Work/PowerPoint, the Windows Installer configures VS Studio 2013 each time. Is this the normal behavior, can
I stop this?

Thank you for your response.
I actually found the answer I was looking for through a couple of URL's below:
1. This first URL walked me through everything I needed to do find the actual warning using the Event Viewer and then the fix. There are two command for the suggested fix (remove and addlocal registry items) but since I don't think MS Office 2010 student
edition came with VBA support (I could be wrong), I only did the REMOVE command. After that, launching my Office apps now only takes a couple of seconds instead of 2-3 minutes. Here's the first URL (http):

The blog is from MSDN by Heath Stewart (MSFT) dated May 29, 2009 "how-to-workaround-the-issue-when-opening-office-applications-repairs-visual-studio"
2. The second URL (https) below is from a forum with similar issue that confirmed what I had to do. In this forum the helpee ran the suggested two commands and had the same warning:

Fetching null records out of a function takes much longer than non-null

Hi,
We have a function that is called thousands of times on SQL. This function has a SELECT than can return one row at max.
We realized that when the SQL statement doesn't return any record, it takes 3x times longer in the fetch phase.
I made a simple test with three functions were each one was executed 1000 times. The first one has an extra outer join that guarantees that it always returns one record, a second one with an explicit cursor that can return 0 records and a third one with an implicit cursor that can also return 0 records.
Here is the sample test code:
DECLARE
-- Local variables here
CURSOR c IS
SELECT teste_vasco.teste_vasco1(epis.id_episode) as val
FROM episode epis
WHERE rownum <= 1000;
TYPE t_c IS TABLE OF c%ROWTYPE;
l_c t_c;
BEGIN
-- Test statements here
OPEN c;
FETCH c BULK COLLECT
INTO l_c;
CLOSE c;
          for i in l_c.first..l_c.last
          loop
          dbms_output.put_line(i || ' :' || l_c(i).val);
          end loop;
END;
The difference between the tests is that instead of calling the vasco1 function, vasco2 and vasco3 is called.

As you can see, in the first example the fetch time of the SELECT in the function vasco1 takes 0.02 seconds and 0.06 in the SELECT of the test script. This test returned 1000 non-null records.
In the tests 2 and 3, the fetch phase of the SELECT in the test script takes much more time - 0.27 seconds, despite the fetch of the SELECT in the functions (vasco2 and vasco3) took 0.00 seconds (as it only returned 1 row for the 1000 executions) and the only difference between them is the function that is called. Both test2 and test3 returned 999 null records and 1 non-null record.
How it's possible than a select null records takes much longer than selecting non-null records?
Hope you can understand the problem and thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

Thank you for the replies...
But the thing is that the SELECT in the function is very fast and the fetch phase takes no time (0.00 second).
And, as you can see in the execution plan, there's no need for a full index scan...only a range scan is performed:
SELECT CS.DT_SET, CS.FLG_STAGE, CS.DT_WARN
FROM
CARE_STAGE CS WHERE CS.ID_EPISODE = :B1 AND CS.FLG_ACTIVE = 'Y'
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows

Fetch 1000 0.00 0.00 0 2001 0 1
total     2001      0.07       0.06          0       2001          0           1

Rows Row Source Operation
1 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID CARE_STAGE (cr=2001 pr=0 pw=0 time=11119 us)
1 INDEX RANGE SCAN CS_EPIS_FACT_FST_I (cr=2000 pr=0 pw=0 time=7951 us)(object id 688168)
But, the fetch phase of the SQL that calls the function that has this query takes 0,27 seconds.
As far as the contex switch, we are aware of that, but we can have modularity with this solution and the first function also have many context switching and is must faster.

It takes much longer time to power down.

Since i upgraded to mountainlion it takes much longer time to power down. As if the harddisk is being scanned. Anyone any thoughts on that ?

Upgraded to OSX 10.9.1 and now Pages (iWork '08) takes much longer to launch.

Initial launch of Pages takes significantly longer to load after upgrading OSX. I have used 'software update', but nothing out there to download. Any ideas? The other components of my iWork '08 bundle work as expected, it is only Pages that seems to have performance issues under OSX 10.9.1.

If I remember, I believe I thought I had to upgrade to Mavericks for a feature related to sharing or FaceTime or something. I have an iMac, 2 MacBook Pro laptops (kids), an iPad (wife's) and Apple TV. So on Mavericks, everyone in the house is happy now; I just don't like that it takes 'forever' to launch Pages. Perhaps I will upgrade to iWork '09 to see if that takes care of the issue.

Why Safari takes much long time than other browser to open a page?

I have used windows since start of my computing life... Now i have replaced my windows laptop to a macbook pro.. Everything is amazing.. except only one. Safari.. I experience it takes too long time for openning a webpage...even for a simple webpage...takes much more time for loading a flash... I dont know why Safari is taking too many times as compared to other web browsers...

I found the same problem too after moving into mac earlier this week....
i guess here's the solution https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5227588

Why does downloading from iCloud take so long now?

I've been using Match since it was released. I'm used to the download times required for hour-length albums, playlists, and hi-def TV programs.
My memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long music album that was bought on iTunes in iTunes Plus format (256Kbs) took abouit 5-10 mins. So why does it now take ONE HOUR?!?
Likewise, my memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long hi-def TV episode that was bought on iTunes took abouit 20-30 mins. So why does it now take TWO HOURS?!?
My infrastructure is the same: broadband connection with over 100Mbps down, iPhone 4s, iPad 3.
WHY has downloading from Match gotten SO SLOW on iOS devices? On my new iMac it is blazing fast. And a year ago, it was rather quick (as detailed above).
Anyway who has info on this, would greatly appreciate seeing it posted. Thanks.

It's about 4GB, from memory, and the download speed can be affected from things like site traffic or variations in speed from your own ISP. But in general, it IS a very large download. Also never put your trust in a computer telling you how much time is left to download. As you can see, it recalculates everything more often and more quickly than the Tax Department!

Why does emptying the garbage take so long now? It has greatly slowed down my workflow.

Before Mountain Lion and maybe even Lion came out emptying the trash was instantaneous... What the **** happened. Now if my hardrive gets full and I have a **** load of stuff to remove it takes HOURS to do so. This is ridiculous, why does it take so long to delete something?

Have you checked the option to Empty the Trash Securely? That will slow it down significantly.

Lion installed but shutdown is much longer now? Ideas?

I have installed Lion but the shutdown is much slower now. Snow Leopard shut down in 4 seconds and now it appears to be more like 15-20 seconds. I had to move a few non-compatible apps to trash but that is all I've changed. Any ideas?

don't know if this helps but i'll throw it in here in case it helps anyone. i too had issues with a slow boot and shutdown since installing lion. i tried many things people suggested in various threads such as repairing permissions and verifying/repairing disk, clearing caches etc. what did work for me however, finding it by accident is... i noticed i could no longer play avi files. i had perian installed. apperntly the version i have needed upgrading so i did and to my surprise, it actually improved shutdown time. my shutdown went from nearly 30 second to just under 10 seconds. it improved my boot up from nearly a minute down to under 50 seconds. it's still a long time to boot compared to snow leaoprd but at this stage any improvement is a good thing. so i guess the things to look for possible causes of problems are incompatible software. either upgrade them to a lion friendly version or uninstall them if none are available.

After turning on, it takes much longer time to turn on. all the functions don't work.have to wait a long time

After I turn on my macbook, it takes a much longer time to turn on. I can move around the arrow, but nothing works. I tried to click every app, no response. I have to wait a long time and then everything works. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks

Why does SYNC take so long now? And why does it BACKUP every time i sync?

Sync takes SO darn long now and when I sync, it does a BACKUP that is causing the sync process to take SO SO SO LONG!
Whats the deal? anyway to turn OFF the BACKUP option?

I have half a dozen screens full of apps - some of which will definitely have to go as some sync operations - especially if there are apps being updated for me takes hours. Yesterday it got stuck during an app update over the wifi - and I had to do a restore - the restore took some time - which included restore from a backup from only a few days ago - the following sync has been running for a couple hours now and appears to be only 75% or so complete. rather annoying.
