Slow load on EXS Orchestral Instruments

It seems to be random, but most of the voice (choir) instruments take 3-5 minutes to load and some of the organ instruments are doing the same thing.
The rest load lickety split.
I've done a fresh install of osx, logic, tried to install jam packs again, repaired permissions twice, removed .pref files twice.
They all load just fine on my 2007 mbp and 2009 mac pro, but my brand, spanking new imac i7 has problems.
Can anyone PLEASE help me. I am about to throw my iMac into the toilet. An unflushed toilet.

Nobody eh?

Very slow load times on EXS24 instruments?

Hi everyone - I have a troublesome problem..
At the moment this only seems to happen garage band instruments loaded in exs24
When I try to load instruments from garageband i get to enjoy the spinning wheel and about 3 minutes of load time [and this wouldnt be the first stime i would have loaded the instrument]
When it does finally cease spinning it asks me to choose between the garage band samples, or dupe sampler files in self contained projects.
I always pick the garageband directory..
Is there a way to decrease the loading time?

This tends to happen when you have more than one copy of the EXS sample on your drive network. As soon as EXS sees two of a sample, especially if there is no existing direct link in the EXS instrument, it will tend to scan your whole system for any and all potential duplicates. This can take a while.
My only suggestion is delete the duplicate samples and make sure your instruments all contain path links to the appropriate samples. Bear in mind that if you store samples in the project folder, at least those should be found quickly, but it will not solve the problem of loading new patches into the project.
To be able to find and get rid of duplicate samples and re-establish the links in a batch fashion, I highly reccommend EXS manager by Redmatica.

Logic Express 7.2 painfully slow loading ESX24 and JamPack audio samples

Logic Express 7.2 is painfully slow loading ESX24 and JamPack instrument audio samples. The hard drives very busy as if Logic is searching for the files. Garageband loads the JamPack audio files almost instantly. Don't have this problem with Logic Pro on my G5, only Express on my MacBook Pro.
Have updated to 7.2.1 but no change.
Anybody else experienced this? Any tips appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Jorge,
You are absolutely right, it's just the first time I load the samples. What's strange is that it's happening with JampPack 4, it took about three minutes to load one of the string intruments, but when I closed that instrument and opened esx the same string intrument was loaded. I don't remeber this taking so long on my G5 though!
Thanks for your help Jorge.

EXS' Sampler Instrument Count Limitation

Hello everyone,
Does anyone happen to know of a workaround/ solution to EXS' sampler instrument count limitation? I find myself constantly shuffling instruments and libraries in and out of the Sampler Instruments folder, a process which, given my 1TB library, is tedious and extremely time consuming.
Any "magic fixes" or insights would be highly appreciated..
Thanks!

Some clarifications:
I have been running EXS Manager, Pro Ed from the get-go.
Once again, my complaint is NOT regarding slow load times (which, believe me, is grounds for a whole separate post); rather the inability to access instruments altogether. In other words: past a certain, specific instrument down the list, others would simply no longer load. They are visible in the EXS menu, but are flat out "ignored" by the sampler.
Additionally, I have tried re arranging them using sub-folders, but to no avail: The Sampler Instruments folder seems to only be able to handle so many instruments.
Anyone else..?

EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)....

The Issue :
The steinway piano. exs can be seen in 'Library/ Application Support/ Logic / sampler instruments / Acoustic pianos - when double click on it ''Can't be open''
c
Same in Garageband & MainStage
When launching Logic pro , Garageband or MainStage : EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)..
After having spoken on phone to a technician (Apple support ) ,i followed his instructions which was to '' Download Additional Contents via the Logic Pro menu:'' ( I've Downloaded twice already) but the issue was unresolved ( '' EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)..
Then last night i tried : Via the LOGIC PRO MENU : Click on '' Download Additional Content then select ''Logic Pro & Mainstage Essential Contents'' click install .
It took about 2 hours and finally afterwards when loading song in logic pro ; steinway piano was still there but this time it worked same for Garageband & MainStage.

"Additional Contents" I don't even know what that is? What app is it for?

Logic pro 9 with mavericks? Orchestral instruments..

Bonjour,
Je ne sais pas si c'est depuis Mavericks ou Mountain Lion, mais impossible pour Logic Pro 9 de retrouver les orchestral.... Comment faire?
j'étais avant sur un imac 17" qui tournait sur snow léopard, je suis passé à un imac 27", et transféré mes données via time machine.
merci pour vos réponses!!
Hi!
I do not know if it's from Mavericks or Mountain Lion, but impossible for Logic Pro 9 to find the orchestral instruments now .... How to do?
I was in on a imac 17 " that ran on snow leopard, I switched to an iMac 27" and transferred my data by time machine.
thank you for your answers!
Where are the orchestral instruments??? And some others instruments... Can't find it now.. Any answers please!!

So always the same problem, maybe from ESX24, I don't know...
When I try to right click on "full strings legato.exs" (in /library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments/orchestral/full strings legato), and open it with LP9 or Main Stage, it tells me that "the file is corrupted" from MainStage, and "impossible to open the file" from logic...
Thank you again!

I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times 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.

There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
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.

Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7

Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.

Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

IMac - Slow load and wifi problems

I have lion installed on my macbook pro and on my iMac. My macbook pro works GREAT...no problems. My iMac - I am ready to toss out a window. Here are the problems:
INCREDIBLY slow boot up time - 5-10 minutes from off - 5-8 minutes from sleep
The hard drive is constantly working. I can have nothing open and it sounds like the hard drive is constantly spinning
Half the time my wifi hardware is not found on boot up and I have to reboot with slow load times - sometimes taking 20 minutes before I can get logged in to a 'working' computer
A lot of my programs have become slow. Safari can be slow responsive but others that are not apple that have done 'lion updates'
I have my activity monitor running and nothing seems to be hogging resources. My iMac specs are:
2.8 intel core i5
12 gb ram
2 TB hard drive with about 1tb free
I ran the lion update that came out and it did not seem to do much for me.
Anyone have a solution? Anyone tried a clean format and did this work? Lion works great on my laptop and I just need it to work on my main computer as well.
Reba

i think part of the boot up time issue is the amount of windows you happen to have open when you put it to sleep
other is lion upgrade slows it down due to this auto save function
my wifi is also spotty and acts like it can't find itself at times
and this is a brand new imac

Slow loading on website

I am new to Quicktime Pro, but have found it very easy to use with great quality results endoding my FC files for the web. My problem is that when a user clicks to open my video sample, the file has a very slow load time. Some specifics:
input file: 1.8 GB file exported from FCE as uncompressed 8-bit
output file: in QTPro - encoded with H.264, 15 fps, 100 key frame, 800 kbps, set for streaming (fast start), 640X480, deinterlacing checked. file size 8 MB.
As I said, the quality is great (except that the deinterlacing filter doesn't seem to do anything), but the playback outpaces the load very quickly. It takes almost 2-3 minutes for the file to be ready to start automatically. I've been told that an 800 kbps file should load in a few seconds.
Is there anything you could tell me to enhance the load time? I'm wondering if I'm missing a simple step since QT has been so easy to start to use.
Thanks so much for your help!! Jo

Nothing at all wrong with your QuickTime file but your html code at http://aftglow.com/ directly links to it rather than calling the quickTime browser plug-in.
That may be the source of your troubles. You need to use special html page code for QuickTime:

Website slow loading

So I am having a problem with one website that I frequent. It it much slower loading than other websites I visit. The progress bar seems to freeze for several seconds. Sometimes if I hit the x then the reload symbol the page loads right away. I have asked other people, it is a forum site, if they have had problems lately and nobody has experienced the slow loading problem I have. One person suggested clearing the history which I did. That didn't work so I researched the web and found a suggestion to delete the cache from the library and also clear history. I did that as well and nothing has improved. It only happens on this one site and has only started happening in the last two maybe three weeks.
Any suggestions on what else I could try? I do not want to use another browser to see if it works in another browser. It used to work fine but doesn't now. Just looking for other things I could try to resolve the issue.

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

Slow loading website

So I just finished my website but it loads piece by piece and
a slower than I would have liked. is there anyway to improve this
that would not require me redoing it all over? The site is here:
http://www.martinpaulphotography.com/index.html
thanks,
Martin.

A couple of things:
(1) If the music is in your flash file, you can delay it a
few frames. Too much in the first frame slows loading. You might
consider adding a volume X button for those that want to browse w/
sound.
(2) Optimize the images of your page. There are a lot of them
which is one of the reasons for the slow load.
Is that your musical composition? If not, you should post
your use with permission on the front page to oblige the author's
permission. If you don't have that....lose the music. Be careful
here, especially with professional sites.

Do I have DNS problems? Slow loading or no access ...

Hi all,
Most of the time my broadband seems to play nicely however I seem to have painfully slow loading or non-loading websites with annoying regularity. It is not all sites and the problem seems rather selective.
Sites that I know are up (such as bbc.co.uk) are sometimes impossible to load. A speed test shows somewhere between 2Mb and 7.5Mb (yeah, I know - contention in my area is a real issue).
If I VPN out to a proxy server then everything works just fine.
Does anyone know if this is a BT DNS issue?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 but still no joy - pick a random page and some work, some don't. My smart TV is decidedly dumb and nothing will stream. Give it a few hours and it is usually fine.
I am also randomly getting the message that "You're seeing this page becasue BT parental controls is active and you are attemtping to connect to a DNS outside of our network" which I am not...
[sigh]
