Screensaver says "Loading Photos" for a few seconds before starting

Hello,
I have a mid 2011 Imac and am running OSX 10.9.5. I have a photo screensaver which directs to a specific folder of about 2,000 photos (total size of 8 GBs). Before the screen saver starts, it displays a screen saying "Loading Photos" for approximately 5 seconds. I know this is a small problem, but it's annoying. This used to not happen and the photos would start being displayed immediately after the screen saver starts. I think this "Loading photos" started around the time I upgraded to Mavericks. I just installed 8 more GBs of RAM (total of 12), thinking this would solve the problem, but the "Loading photos" still happens.
How can I fix this? Is this symptomatic of other speed issues?
Thanks.

Safari is a fully Universal Application which means it does not run under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, nor does it run under Rosetta on PowerPC based machine as Rosetta does not exist for PowerPC.
I have no idea what you could possibly mean when you say you watch WMP clips, unless you have a WMP player visible in Safari. In this case Safari is still not running under Rosetta but possibly the WMP player is.
Also try using real words in your replies rather than bad spelling. Your reply should have been "Yes it does, that's how I watch WMP clips", hardly difficult.

I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed? Please reply.

Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
I hope I am clear.
Kindly help

I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

Why do you tube videos take so long to load and once they do they will only play for a few seconds before quitting ?

after a you tube video finally loads it will play for a few seconds then quit. after a few minutes it will resume play for a few seconds then quit and resumes the process

download it, then play offline

Music app stops playing for a few seconds then starts

After updating to lollipop the music app would play for a few minutes then stops for a few seconds then play again, did not have issue with kitkat. Help please.

It's back!!!!!! The problem went away for a few days now same issue. It only happens when I am listening to sound files on the headphones - sudden pause then restart in the middle of playing the sound file, this happens with different music/podcase apps. No issue with bluetooth streaming or speaker phone. So it appears there is a software bug with Lollipop update - never had this problem with KitKat. Factory reset does not fix it. I wish there was a way to revert the phone back to KitKat. Hoping the new Lollipop update would fix this.

Wait for a few minutes before starting a backgroung step in workflow

Dear All,
I have a requirement where in I have to make sure the user has completed a particular workitem. The workitem is to open the transaction PP02. I cannot make it asynchronous and use a terminating event as I could not see any logical place where I could trigger the terminating event on SAVE.
Now, I am trying to check if the database is updated on save of the transaction and before I do that I would want the workflow to wait for a few mintues.Is this approach correct?
Is there any way I can make the workflow to wait for a few mintues before it starts the next backgound step?
Please suggest.
Best Regards
Vikram

I think it is better option to use the WAIT Step
as you said that until you save the data in the trabsaction you don't want to proceed further then, try like this
Create a wait step and use the option wait for condition.
define a element in the workflow of type char01( assume TEST) .
Pass X to this element from the transaction when ever you save the data.
and define the condition for the wait step in such a way that until the value of TEST = X do not proceed further.

Iphone stops working for a few seconds then starts working again

ok so i have an Iphone 3gs. the digitizer was messed up so i switched it from another iphone i have. they are both 3gs. after a while my 3gs started to lagg completely. the screen freezes and i cant do anything for a couple seconds then it starts working fine again. this has started to happen a lot. when im playing music it suddenly stops playing for a couple seconds and continues. i tried rebooting it and it didnt work. could it be the software? or the hardware? i doubt that it could be the changing of the lcd screen since the iphone completely stops working. should i try a restore?

have you done a reset, hold down the home/poer button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. see if that helps.

In a new tab firefox loads recent windows for a few seconds before going to homepage

When I open a new tab, for a couple of miliseconds before going to my homepage, i can see various sites i recently visited in a table-list like a recent visits table. Am i being tracked by something? Did I catch a trojan ? I am also running no-script add-on on my Mozilla for extra protection. It's not disturbing my browsing experience but I do not wish to be tracked in that way. For example, when I tried loading it today, I could see photos of friends I saw on facebook, and info about an e-bay purchase i wanted to make.

That is probably the about:newtab page that you see.

Internet access only available for a few seconds before dying

I've just purchased a new iMac and I'm having problems connecting to the internet. I have a DSL modem router which is configured up and working correctly. I can plug my old PC into it and it works fine, however when I plug it in to my new iMac I have to reset it and then I get about 20 seconds access before it dies. The IP address is still assigned and everything but all traffic seems to stop. If I reset the router again, I'll get another 20 seconds access once it finishes booting. I don't think it's a router issue as I can plug a windows laptop in also and it works fine.

Those settings would appear to be correct, so the computer is getting the IP number from the router.
I tried a ping test against www.apple.com after resetting the router, and it was an unknown host . . . Yes, it gave me nothing either: 100% packet loss; but another www address was OK.
If you enter that router IP number in a browser, do you get a configuration page for the router itself? Does the router need a WEP or WAP password?
Have you also tried, (A) setting up a new Location rather than use the default, "Automatic" or (B) creating a new user account and setting up from there?
What router do you have, by the way?

Sometimes my iMac starts with white lettering across the screen on a black ground and after switching off for a few seconds starts on ok ! Any ideas

Sometimes my iMac starts up with white lettering acrossthe screen on a black background - when it's switched off for a few seconds it starts up ok. Can anyone tell me why this happens ?

I have read on here that a PRAM reset can cure this problem:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Video only plays for a few seconds, then freezes

The video, which I got from the apple website, plays fine in iTunes but once I upload it to the iPod it will only play for a few seconds before freezing and becoming nonresponsive. Is this a software problem? Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.

Or you can follow these instructions.... (adopted from btabz)
Here are more detailed instructions on how to go back to 1.0, espescially if you bought your iPod in the last couple of months and it came with 1.1.
First, please download the older version of the iPod Updater here...
http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
Now install that updater and restart your computer.
Now open the iPod updater (Start-->all programs-->iPod and find the iPod updater you just installed
Open the iPod Updater and connect your iPod. With that older version of the iPod updater you just installed, restore your iPod by clicking restore.
The iPod will restore and go back to software version 1.0. Now reload everything back into iTunes.
If you don't want to restore, see this...

TS3276 I use Mail for my email and lately, if I get an email coming in while writing one, the program freezes for a few seconds. Frustrating.

I have a 27" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I use Mail for my email. Just in the past 2 -3 months, if I'm writing an email while another one is coming in to the inbox, the program freezes, the spinning colour ball appears and I can't continue typing for 5 seconds or more. I get and write a lot of emails so it's frustrating.
I've also noticed that sending messages is taking longer than it used to. The program spins its wheels for a few seconds before sending. Definitely noticeably longer than prior to this situation. Any ideas anyone?
