Slow scroll

Does anyone have ANY solutions to the iTunes 7 slow scroll problem for Windows XP Home Edition? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I don't believe memory per-se is the cause of this issue. I've quickly profiled Safari 5.1.4 and Firefox 11 using Instruments. The test: load up a website (BBC news, say), and then continually scroll with the trackpad up and down for about 20 seconds while recording data.
For Safari, the call tree suggests that ~90% of the CPU time is being spent in re-drawing the page - that is, it seems to be re-rendering the whole page every time there is a scroll event. This will naturally create slow / irregular frame rates when scrolling.
With Firefox, CPU usage is negligible during scrolling. From the trace, it appears to me that the webpage is rendered once, when it is loaded, into a buffer, and redrawing is then just a case of copying the appropriate part of this buffer to screen (which is fast, especially if done on the gpu). I believe this is much more akin to the methods used on iOS with CoreAnimation (which is why you can get silky smooth scrolling with an ultra-high res iPad with a processor that's far slower than a laptop/desktop CPU).
Moreover, the problem isn't limited to Safari, but crops up in many other Mac desktop apps. I find choppy scrolling in Mail, Reeder, the Mac App Store... from limited testing it all seems to boil down to the same issue. Fundamentally, it would appear that many apps built on AppKit & WebKit will suffer from this issue, until Apple can use some method of caching to speed up redraws.
I would suggest filing a bug report with Apple.

[SOLVED] Fixing slow scrolling in firefox with nvidia and 64 bit

is there something I can change to improve scrolling in firefox? I've tried to turnoff desktop effects and scrolling is the same annd also running firefox from a fresh profile. Hence, i suspect my nvidia 9800GT card to be the culprit. If anyone has a working xorg.conf with nvidia, 64 bit and smooth scrolling on the above mentioned sites please SHARE! Many Thanks!

Sorry, I don't use KDE, but it may be related to how do you start KDE: from xinit or via KDM or sth.

It's running the same driver as before.

Did you uninstall it? Did you install the nouveau driver? 'pacman -Qqs xf86-video' will tell you what drivers you have installed.
No, I don't have the nouveau driver installed. I have to check if I have the nv driver installed but I didn't uninstall the nvidia driver. I'm starting KDE via xinit.

Indesign CS5 Slow Scrolling

Hello
I'm currently being affected by a slow scrolling bug in InDesign CS5 where no matter what my scroll settings are the speed is constantly slow. Is there an override in InDesign somewhere to fix this?
This was also present in CS4 but not quite as bad and have also seen other posts in Ps forums.
Using Windows 7 and logitech mouse
Thanks
Nathaniel

Could you be more specific about this slow scrolling, and what settings are not making a difference?

Very slow scrolling window thumbnails clips

Very slow scrolling windows with thumbnail clips. The more files in the event, the worse it gets. It is very frustrating. Is in others it is the same? I have MacOookPro i7 early 2011, thunderbolt drives RAID0, 16GB memory, FCPX 10.0.7. After the hardware is decent.
Give some feedback, thank you.
P.S. I might add that this disadvantage are found from version 10.0.0.

You might want to look at either booting from your install dvd (insert, restart and hold 'C' down) and running disk repair from Utilities. Alternatively, and I always suggest any Mac user should have at least one, a 3rd party disk utility like DiskWarrior (there are others) is extremely useful.

Very slow scroll and mouse sweep in Elements 9 Organizer

My organizer has suddenly started to scroll very very slowly when looking through multiple thumbnails. Even if I move the mouse across the thumbnails, it takes seconds to register the mouse has passed over.
Once you do set a scroll in motion, you can't stop it. You just have to wait till its done its slow thing!! I've switced off auto media stuff (Auto face recognition etc) Updated thumbnails, repaired the catalogue (Even though it didn't need it)
Only around 3500 images, not large. At the request of the Help Team I re-downloaded the programme. Still Slow scrolling. Why is it doing this???

Acrobat 8 and 9 slow scrolling in terminal server or RDP

Adobe, there have been several postings here regarding the painfully slow scrolling introduced in acrobat 8 and 9 when viewing a multi page PDF via terminal services or RDP. It is discussed here in your forums and other internet forums. Have you a solution? Have you investigated this? It occurs not via a lan connection but a wan connection. You need to access an RDP session via dsl to reproduce this.
This is not a Microsoft Terminal services or RDP problem. It is an Acrobat problem. This did not occur with Acrobat 7. Thus the current method of fixing is to not install versions of acrobat above 7 or downgrade your Acrobat 8 or 9 install to 7. Not a lasting solution.
Acrobat, I implore you to investigate this problem and offer a solution.

I had the slow scrolling problem, too. Just occurred out the blue on December 15, 2010. Here's the simplest solution:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d1b. w.html
This link deals with the auto scrolling function under "View" at the top of your Adobe Reader page. Basically, with your Adobe document open and watching "auto scrolling" (i.e. your pages scrolling very slowly), hit a number (1-9) to adjust the speed of scrolling. I picked 5.
Then, go to "View" again and select "Auto Scrolling" to turn off this function.
Now, re-open your Adobe Reader document (if closed) and you should be able to scroll at a "normal" and not slow pace.
Hope I'm right with this one.
Happy Holidays.

Slow Scrolling Due to Cache Indicators. When will this be fixed?

Have you experienced slow/clunky scrolling when scrolling through layers in your timeline? This has been an issue for years now. When you grab the scroll bar and scroll it is fine, but using the mouse wheel or track-pad it results in painfully annoying refresh rates.
The Solution is to uncheck "Show Cache Indicators" from the timeline drop down menu. However, Cache indicators can be very useful so it is shame not to be able to use them. While this may not seem like a huge deal, slow scrolling really decreases productivity in projects with lots of layers.
This has been happening since at lease CS6 and I think it is high time it gets fixed. I'd appreciate any commentary on this or suggestions on how to fix this without disabling the Cache Indicators.
Thanks!

Interactive performance improvements in areas such as this are our primary focus right now.

[solved] Slow scrolling in Mutt

Hi all,
I've just installed Mutt (excellent!) but when I use the arrow keys to scroll up and down through threads, there's a big delay, and Mutt takes a while to catch up. Does anyone have any ideas? (I do have header_cache and message_cache_dir enabled.)
Cheers,
Ianhoolihan

Sorry for the late reply --- I guess I hadn't subscribed to the thread, so didn't realised you'd replied!
Thanks for the suggestions, but it doesn't seem to have worked. I haven't been using Mutt (because of this annoying scrolling), but seeing your reply prompted me to look again. And guess what I found --- it's related to the mail_check to variable! At the default of 5 seconds, I get slow scrolling. Set it to 60 seconds, and voila, I have fast scrolling! I don't know why it works, but it does, and I am glad = )

Slow scrolling in my instalation

Hi fellow archers, I have a fresh instalation of Arch Linux, and I'm experiecing slow scrolling in my instalation. Does anyone is experiencing the same problem? Or someone now why?
I have :
->xorg 1.12.1
->nouveau 0.0.16_git20120210-1
->nouveau-dri 8.0.2-1
->linux-ck 3.3.3-1
I would apreciate an answer or exclaration.
Thanks in advance.

Well, we can start here: www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html
I just submitted a request there for a different iCloud problem (non-searchable emails on iCloud.com - I don't know if you have that problem too...)
I also just sent the below feedback for this problem too. The more the better, so please chime in...
"In Firefox 10 (and several earlier versions of FF), whenever I use the scroll wheel on the right-most preview pane at iCloud.com, emails scroll at about 25% of normal speed. This is not a problem in IE9... very peculiar. Will this get fixed?"

Slow Scrolling HD Video Selections on ATV Hard Drive

I currently stream HD videos from my Mac because for some odd reason keeping content synced produces an annoying slow scrolling issue for video selection. The ATV stops for 10-15 seconds reading the properties of each file before going to the next selection. This is not an issue when streaming which is odd as you would expect better performance with local content. This doesn't occur when scrolling standard def content or with HD podcasts though they are only 3-5 minutes in length. This was tested on 2x ATVs one with firmware 1.1 and 2. I would prefer to keep the video on the ATV. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Had the same problem. It has to do with the aTV generating a thumbnail each time for each of your videos (when steaming, your computer generates the thumbnail...no work for aTV). For some reason, some videos take longer to produce a thumbnail (perhaps one with higher bitrates). You can tell which ones they are by clicking on the list in iTunes and seeing how long it takes for the thumbnail to appear in the bottom corner.
The fix is easy: Select your own picture and store it on the artwork tab of the get info menu (this comes up if you right click the video in windows). You can copy the thumbnail the itunes creates, and paste in the artwork tab. With the artwork stored, the atv no longer has to generate it for that video.
I did this for all of my videos, and now no problems.
Hope that helps.

Aperture2 - very slow scrolling on macpro

hi guys
I have a 1st gen dual dualcore 2.66ghz macpro with 16gb ram and my aperture library is around 900gb or so and is on a 2 x 1tb Raid1 mirror. I have twin 30" screens with the 1900XT.
I have bought aperture ver2.
Never really had a prob with aperture version 1 but aperture 2 whilst being very fast on my laptop (a 2.4ghz 17" with 4gb ram) is very sluggish on my macpro. The odd thing is that it's not really slow in terms of adjusting images or exporting jpegs, but it is painfully slow scrolling through thumbnails.
I typically have it setup so that I have thumbnails on one monitor and the full screen view on the 2nd monitor. When I browse through a typical wedding shoot of approx 1500-2000 images the thumbnails view is agonizingly slow - it little crawls along and looks like it kind of pauses/jerks as it scrolls the pictures up/down. If I switch off the thumbnails and just use a "list" whilst looking at the image on my 2nd monitor it is superfast. it's just the browsing of thumbnails that crawls.
This is regardless of the filetype, whether it be from 5D's or 1Ds mk3's. There is nothing in the aperture activity window i.e. it's not generating thumbnails or previews or anything in background.
I have a spare drive that I might do a fresh install of os x + aperture on just as a test but i doubt that'll help.
The macpro in general does not run slow i.e. CS3, safari, iweb etc. are all as fast as ever. Lightroom version 2 was extremely fast but I can't stand the interface - think I'm too used to aperture.
I'd upgrade to a 8 core macpro but the problem is my 16gb ram won't work on the new ones supposedly - and in the reverse direction apparently I can't upgrade the vid card I have now to something quicker.
The things I am thinking of initially to try and fix it are ;
- reinstall of 10.5 & aperture (that will be a pain)
- change the raid1 setup to a raid0 setup for more speed
- Swap the boot drive for a WD 10k rpm drive. doubt this will help though
- buy a new mac. Would rather not as I just bought 2 x 1ds mk3's and don't want to keep throwing money away But if I need to I will.
any ideas please?
thanks heaps

You're not correct on this. They have the minimum and recommended system requirements
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/
It's very frustrating having a powerful system (albeit "crippled" by a characteristically "feeble" Apple stock graphics card), shelling out for Aperture only to find that a system that runs just about everything else well won't run Apple's (sic) flagship photo app well.
It's not just about the processor. As the Apple site states it's a combination of processor, ram, graphics card, hard drive. And, I would add speed of hard drives and cables used.
That said we hold Aperture classes through out the nation on stock systems (sometimes on minimum default systems what you would buy from the Apple store) with large files from Hasselblad, Canon, Nikon...and Aperture rips through them. Many MBP only have 256mb graphic cards and they still run Aperture fast especially Aperture2.
So what we are attempting to do is help you find what the bottleneck is. It's not the application it has to be something else.
Maintenance: regular Diskwarrior, permissions repairs, maintenance scripts, reboots and chanting(!)
But have you placed osx in safe mode yet? safe mode is quite different than repairing permissions, disk warrior etc.
Photos on boot drive but tried them on another internal drive as well. No difference. Drives are new WD or Maxtor.

X230T: Slow scroll after swipe on Windows 8

Hi!
I have an X230T running Windows 8 and working quite well with it.
I face a Problem with using Windows 8, the scroll speed after swiping (f. e. in Internet Explorer or start menu) is pretty slow. For example: you have loaded a web page in IE 10 which has lots of text and you scroll down using a swipe - the page starts to scroll but soon the movement is de-accelerated and the scroll movement stops very soon with little gain of area.
How do you configure or calibrate this behavior?
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I fixed this one myself.
I found out there is a registry setting that controls the inertia of the touch movement. Back in Windows 7 there was a UI (a page in the Pen/Touch Settings) that used to set this value. Obviously this one is missing in Windows 8, i wonder why, since there is no alternative and this setting is very important for a tablet operating system.
The key is:
The param "Friction" under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Wisp\Touch]. You can set it to numeric values from 0-64. 64 means high friction, 0 means very low friction. Of course i chose 0 to make scrolling after swiping really fast. I needed a reboot to make this effective. Remember there are a couple of copies of this registry structure under [HKEY_USERS], you should set them too (execpt for the very improbable case that some user wants slow touch scrolling).
I am puzzled why Microsoft does not offer a configuration for this extremely important setting.

Maverick has messed up my computer. Slow scrolling in I photo. Bookmark icons are blue all the time and not marked with the company symbols. I cannot find out how to solve this.

I switched to Mavericks two weeks ago and have had nothing but troubles. Scrolling in I photo is slow and very inaccurate. When I click and drag a photo the ones above it all flicker, making it hard to find where to put it. My bookmarks bar Icons are all blue. Before they used to show the symbol for the company they represented. Now I click on one, it changes to what I want, then a few minutes of hour later, it goes back to the blue ball, which I hate. My font size is different with every page and I have to click Zoom in all the time. I tried adjusting it in Preferences in Advance settings on the right, but this does not solve the problem permanetly. I have one web page, a hockey one, which tries to load, then I get either a black page or a white one. Driving me nuts. I need some help. Been to Apple at the store, talked to them on the phone for four hours last week. Rebuilt the I photo library with no luck. Would appreciate any help. Please Thanks. I even keep a fan behind my computer to keep it cool, that is how much I look after this baby. Some say it might be Safari? Not sure. I have little computer experience, so please it you are kind enough to reply, do not use tech talk or short forms as I will not understand any of it.

Rick,
I have a few of your issues as well: 1) Safari popular icons are all bue making them very hard to distinguish from each other. 2) My font size is also different with each page / window. What I have been able to find out is that in the Maverick OS - Apple removed one size of display resolution 2048 x 1152. Whether this is the cause of my 27" screen clarity & font size issues, I do not know - but it seems like a contributing factor. Maybe help is on the way - maybe not. Cheers
