Slow Loading of Media and Photos: Not Solved

I've seen this referenced in multiple threads here and in other forums, but I haven't found any real solution. Plenty of suggestions, but none that actually fix the problem.
The issue: On my 8100 Pearl, under both OS 4.2 and 4.5 (multiple builds), loading the Media application takes 20 - 30 seconds, and loading the Pictures section takes even longer - a minute or more. It's just unacceptable, and nothing seems to fix it.
I've tried pulling the battery, very carefully quitting everything, freeing up all available memory, using a microSD card, turning on Memory Cleaning, etc. And nothing changes. I'll have the problem no matter what combination of things I try.
And please note that I'm not talking about loading up a massive collection of hi-res images. This happens when I try to load a collection of a half dozen photos taken the the phone's camera.
Anyone have a real solution for this?
Thanks.

That's usually indictive of low memory. Please click on your options icon and select status. Then please post your file free and file total numbers. Thanks.

  • Loading Twitter usernames and photos to contacts

    Is anyone else having trouble loading Twitter usernames and photos to contacts on the iPhone 4S? Twitter is working fine, and my contacts are loaded correctly. But when I go to settings and click on the option to load Twitter usernames and photos to my contacts, the status bar acts as if it's updating the contacts, then says "0 contacts updated."

    I have tried several times but it kicks me back to the home screen after a short pause. No status bar. Twitter app seems to work ok, but not from System Pref.

  • Playlists and Photos not synching after iOs 7 upgrade

    I upgraded to iOS 7 on my 4S successfully and also updated to the latest itunes version. However, I cannot synch my iphoto events nor playlists correctly. the songs show up but not the playlists. Certain photo events did not show at all. iPhoe tries to keep sunching after being disconnected. Reboot did not solve the problem. Should I do a "hard reset" or are there other options? Anybody experiencing the same?
    Thanks.

    I have a similar problem.
    In the past the only way to fix issues with music, song indexing  or playlists has been to take it off the sync in iTunes, let the phone delete it all, then re-add it and wait several hours for the sync to complete. Annoying, but it usually works.
    In my case it's an overnight job (30+GB of music converted to 192AAC on the fly).

  • My ipad air is slower loading web pages and opening apps than ipad 2

    Bought new ipad air a month ago, it seems very slow compared to my ipad 2, when loading web pages and apps, is anyone else having these problems or have I got a faulty ipad?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

  • Events and Photos not shown in full album view

    In either Events and Photos (under Library) or Albums, when I click on an event or album, it pre-selects a photo (obviously one that I have set as the cover), but NOT the entire collection (as in the past). I used to be able to:
    1) See the entire collage, and select any picture I liked and it would enlarge
    2) Click in the black space (I set it to a black background), then the picture would minimize and I'd be back to the full album or event.
    Now, nothing happens when I click the background black space. All I can do is simply scroll through the album or event and see the pics as they open on screen. I have no idea what the picture will be until I click the forward arrow. I cannot see the full album as well, just the pre-set first picture.
    Not sure what happened.
    Thanks.

    Also, when I click the various tabs in iPhoto Preferences, the pop-up box shakes for a few seconds, just like when you inadvertently enter the wrong password when logging in, or doing software updates, and the system tells you you've made a mistake by making it vibrate up and down. This does not happen with other programs....the transition between settings options after clicking is clean.
    I wonder if there's a bug.
    I've done nothing to preferences at all....all settings have remained the same.

  • IPhone Videos and Photos not available for download

    I've been using FCP X for a good while now, Aperture, and my iPhone. We're a good team for a serious hobbiest (<--is that even a word?).
    I did this morning what I normally do about once a month. Hook up my iPhone 5s to my MBP, fire up FCPX, click import and...
    no videos to download? My phone is now full of pictures and videos.
    I verified "All clips" are selected and that the "hide imported clips" is UNselected. Should show all my iPhone video and photo content. Always has in the past. Instead, today, I get a total of 27 photos/videos combined. Truthfully, my iPhone indicates 48 videos and over 2,000 pics.
    So, knowing my mac a bit, I fire up Image Capture. I'll force this booger to do a manual download to my desktop, then I'll upload to FCPX. Same 27 photo/video combo shows on Image capture.
    I restart my computer and my phone. No change.
    How is it I have a full phone (only 3gb left of room), jam packed with photos and video, yet I can only "see" 27 of them on my computer but all of them on my iPhone.
    Why can't I seem to "see" them and have them available for download? This coincides with the most recent update (since I've performed a download).
    Any ideas on how to get my videos off my phone? Aperture is still doing the iCloud skim over fine, so I have all my photos now in Aperture Photostream files.
    Thanks

    As a continuation...
    I've done a few pics today and a couple of videos on my iPhone. They are not showing up on image capture or FCPX now. Nothing is showing up, it is as if I have a blank iPhone.
    Any ideas how to get my iPhone and mac to play nice?
    Pics still skimming over iCloud to Aperture though, which is good.

  • Iphone and photos not on camera roll

    Hello All,
    I hope you can help me ..
    So our EVP of sales has a home IMAC and it was failing so he he synchronized his Iphone to grab all his pictures off of Iphoto to his Iphone.
    Now he has them all on his iphone but now he wants to put them back on his iphoto on his macbook pro or new IMAC.
    any thoughts , i know when i plug his phone into his macbook it only lets me move his pictures form his camera roll and nothing else , if I click the sync feature in itunes it wants to update and hes afraid the iphoto will over write his iphone and he will lose all his pictures.
    Thoughts , suggestions

    The sync/transfer process for photos from a computer to an iPhone is a one way transfer process ONLY - from the computer to the iPhone, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
    Photos transferred from a computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as the first step during the iTunes sync/transfer process for this data - the original resolution of these photos is reduced.
    Has the home iMac completely failed yet? If no, he needs to use an external drive for transferring these photos - he can copy the iPhoto Library folder and place the folder in the same location on his MBP with iPhoto quit when doing so.
    There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.

  • Abbreviated sync sometimes only does apps and photos - not contacts or iCal

    I have noticed recently that sync, which was fine for a long time, now often seems to work but goes very fast and only backs up and then does music, apps and photos (which have no changes). It does not seem even to attempt iCal or contacts (which do). This seems normally to be when the iPhone has changes but the Macbook does not.
    Simply clicking on the 'sync' button will eventually trigger a proper sync, but this may take several gos (often I still get an abbreviated sync) and seems odd anyway. Behaviour is eventually fine and the clocks are synced of course (& settings are normal and static).
    Any ideas?

    Did you reset the phone and see if there's any different behavior?
    Did you try to reset iSync history?

  • Iphone syncs music and photos, not calendars and contacts

    I have had my Iphone since last July, and have had virtually no issues with it. However, since the last security update, I have been unable to successfully sync my iphone to my powerbook. The phone is properly recognized, and I can initiate a sync, but the sync seems to get stuck synchronizing contacts. Nothing freezes - the computer and phone are still operational- it just seems that the sync doesn't ever end. I even let it run overnight, without success. The same thing occurs if avoid syncing contacts, and start with syncing calendars. However, if I don't sync calendars or contacts, music and photos sync properly, and the sync completes itself.
    I tried restarting the iphone and re-installing itunes, without success.
    Please let me know if anyone out there has any ideas.

    In the back of my computer. There isn't one on the side or front. I've checked the USB settings and it says that it's a 2.0

  • Adobe Media Encoder only using single core of CPU (core parking has already been disabled and did not solve the problem)

    I only edit videos every few months and the last time I edited a video was around 6-9 months ago.  At that time, I noticed AME was only using a single core of the CPU and contacted Adobe who instructed me to disable core parking, which worked.  After disabling core parking AME used 100% of all 12 logical cores to process the video and all was good.  Then last week, I decided to edit another video and noticed AME was very slow and checked and it was again only using a single core to process the video, but core parking is still turned off.  By slow I mean that a 10 minute video with the lens distortion correction preset and one video transition effect is estimated to take nearly 3 hours to complete.  For comparison, the GoPro software processed the same clip with the same effects in 20 minutes.  Also, through troubleshooting with Adobe over the last few days, I have also tried downloading previous versions of the software but the prior versions have the same issue.
    The video I'm trying to edit was shot on a GoPro Hero 4 Black with 1080p Wide at 60 frames per second.  The default video format for GoPro is .mp4.   The output settings I'm using when I export from Premiere Pro to AME are H.264 with the YouTube 1080p HD.
    My system:
    ASUSSabertooth X79
    Intel core i7 4930k (6 physical cores, 12 logical cores)
    16GB DDR3 Quad channel RAM
    Samsung 830 SSD 128GB
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (not CUDA compatible, I know)
    Please ask if you need any additional information to help solve this problem.

    This has been driving me CRAZY... so going over the message boards from 2 to 5 am this morning I found the best explanation I have seen.   The problem is that Adobe Creative Cloud is NOT "Processor Group Aware".  Windows parses any more than 36 cores into "Processor Groups" and while the Pro version of Windows 7 & 8 can handle 256 threads they have to spread them across multiple processor groups.
    Simple Version:  AREA | How many cores does 3ds Max support?
    Microsoft's Explanation:  Processor Groups (Windows)
    Clearly, this is an Adobe Problem... If any engineers are reading this PLEASE review the below and incorporate it into your next build of Creative Cloud!!!
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653313%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

  • IPhoto loads but stalls and will not show photos. With Yosemite

    After upgrading to Yosemite recently suddenly iPhoto loads, shows list of albums but will not open albums, just get that whirly thing forever.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards
    TD

  • Suddenly slow loading of websites and RBB in Safari and Chrome

    I'm working with a MBPro 17" 2009, Mavericks 10.9.4 and suddenly RAM seems to be full especially when using Chrome or Safari Broswers. I know there is a problem with a sector of my hard drive, this is an old story; the slow web page loading and rotating beach ball are new. My ethernet connection is reasonably fast, 29 ms ping + 6mbps down + 2mbps up. I tested DNS with name bench and changed to the fastest servers.
    Occasionally also seeing this slowness with iPhoto, or when moving photos to an email, etc.
    Posted below is my EtreCheck summary and also a snapshot of a SmartUtility run tonight, which indicates the hard drive problem.
    One thing I notice is that even after uninstalling Chrome (which had become practically impossible to use), I still see some references to Chrome as a user login item and internet plug-in. I don't know how to remove these, if that would help. (Uninstalling Chrome helped.)
    Also attached are screenshots of Activity Monitor showing CPU usage and Memory usage.
    Thanks for any advice.

    are you suggesting a used hard drive?
    No; $35 is sufficient for a brand new 320 GB internal hard disk drive with a warranty. Another $19 will buy one with three times that capacity. Do not buy "used".
    And do you think this is the problem I've described?
    It is a problem that must be corrected before addressing anything else that could be a contributing factor. It is premature to conclude it is the only problem though.
    Consider yourself fortunate in that you have been given advance warning of its impending doom, and that you already have a Time Machine backup. Hard disk drives often fail with no warning at all. They are all wear items that should be considered disposable, given their replacement cost.

  • IPhoto Thumbnails and Photos Not Displaying After Restore

    Hi,
    I recently reset my iMac to overcome an indexing problem.  I backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and once the Mac was rebuilt I copied the iPhoto file back across from the backup to the iMac.
    When I ran iPhoto and selected the iPhoto library to use, I get the Events thumbnails grid but there is no content other than the name of the event.
    If I click on an Event I then get:
    Clicking on a photo gives me:
    I tried copying and importing the iPhoto file again, but the same thing happens.
    I can see by inspecting the Media folder under the Import to Library option that all the photos are there.
    I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
    Anyone know why they're not displaying?
    Thankfully, when I backed up the iPhoto library I also "exported" all the photos as individuals to my Cloud storage, so I also have another backup - but I'd rather not use this second backup if possible as I want to keep my Events as per the main backup.
    I also have a 3rd backup (yes, I'm paranoid about my photos!) on Time Machine (didn't use that for the restore as I was told it would re-introduce the indexing errors).
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm guessing this is as it should be?
    That looks good, your original image files are still in the iPhoto Library but need reconnecting.
    I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
    Then try the last resort and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager.  You can download it here, the free trial will suffice for this:  Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager

  • ITunes 7.1 and photos not syncing anymore

    I am hoping for a little help from the knowledgeable forum members. I updated to the latest version of iTunes and now my iPod/iTunes will not sync with my photo library in Elements 3.0. It worked fine until now and it is giving me an “unknown error (-50)” whatever that means. I have tried running the “repair” option on installation and I have tried reinstalling iTunes without any luck. Elements 3.0 is running fine. Any ideas…

    i'm with CoJeff on this one.
    typically it's the firewall with NIS 2005 (or standalone Norton Personal Firewall) that causes grief with iTunes. (we've had these issues dating back to the iTunes 4.8 days with NIS 2005), but every now and then i see reports of that worm protection feature causing grief in similar ways.
    the amount of reports of problems with NIS 2006 and 2007 are literally a couple of orders of magnitude less than with NIS 2005. so it may be worth just upgrading to one of the more recent versions.
    ... if you'd prefer to stick with your 2005, though, let us know and we can try running through a few of techniques we've used to deal with this.
