Songs slowing down when I type

I'm running iTunes 7.7.1 on a new computer. iTunes had no problem on my old one, but on my new one, the songs slow down when I type, which is rather annoying, since I listen to music while, you know, typing. I'm on WinXP Pro, and everthing else is working great. Any ideas?

What tools, Mostly I work with iWeb using iPhoto, Aperture, Photoshop TeXture Adobe FormsCentral for Acrobat etc. making and editing Web Sites. Often I have many Apps open simultanously.

Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

Excel slows down when network drive is mapped

Since a couple of months we are experiencing strange behaviour of excel (2011) on Lion 10.7.5
Excel versions from 14.3.1. to 14.3.4 all the same behaviour.
Symptom 1)
When I connect the Time Capsule drive , Excel slows down by factor 100 when entering text. Needs up to 2 seconds to react on a key stroke.
When I disconnect the handle, excel works fast again.
(repeatable, reproducible)
Symptom 2)
on the network drive, always at the same place, a file named ~abcde.xls... occurs (exact name forgotten, but it is a recent file name
preceded with a tilde sign)
deleting of the file does not affect speed
the file reappears occasionally (TC backup is switched off!)
Where is the ghost??? :-D
maybe these symptoms are uncorrelated.
Why the heck does Excel slow down when I open the network drive??
Why does this happen on 10.7.5 and not on 10.6.8?
Anyone any idea?
thanks,
Stefan

Thanks. Away on holiday right now, but will do it as soon as I get back next week.
Out of curiosity, the external drive works fine when connected directly via USB to the laptop. I took that to mean that the problem wasn't to do with the drive, but probably the network. Is it possible there could be a problem with the drive which only shows up when it's used as a network drive?

HELP - 88.2 k 24-bit wav file is slowing down when imported to garageband

i have an 88.2 k 24-bit wav file that is slowing down when imported to garageband. How do i get around this problem?

You need to convert it to 44.1 16 bit. You can do that with iTunes.

Safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router

safari browser seems to slow down when working with my wifi ASUS AC 68U router - any ideas on why?

Is your problem with Safari on the iPad, or some MacBook Air?
Are you sure that the ASUS firmware is tested with the device having trouble and its operating system?
Note: MacBook Airs do not run iOS. They run Mac OS X, Windows or Linux.

Slow down when processing image clipping in photo shop with pen tool

Adobe cs5 slow down when processing image clipping use with pen tool. The path is applying after few seconds when we draw on the image. My system supporting 4 GB memory with 64 bit.

The main thing i use paths for in photoshop is extracting objects from photos.
Other uses include stroking paths with the paint tools. For example, if you had
a powerline to remove, one could trace the line with the pen tool and then stroke
the path with spot healing brush set to content aware fill.

PSE 10 system slows down when adding files to catalog

I recently switched from PSE 3 to PSE10 and had issues converting the catalog. I never did resolve those so I decided to start with creating a new catalog in PSE 10. My first session of adding photos worked fine. When I restarted the task the next day, I was asked in participating in making the product better by sharing information about my use with Adobe. I agreed to participate and very quickly noticed that my computer slowed considerably when adding photos from my hard drive. The process still worked but I experienced a dramatic increase in the time it took for photos to be added (e.g. the cursor spins for a couple of minutes while the task is working). I went under my account preferences and opted out of the product participation program but the problem has persisted. I rebooted the computer to see if that would help but it has not. I have turned off all media analysis and both optimized and repaired my catalog and while this has provided some improvement, there are still instances where the system slows down. Now it seems that every other folder's worth of pictures (does not matter how many photos) I add causes this delay.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide in determining why this slow down keeps occuring.
FYI, I am running a new Windows 7, 64-bit system with 8GB DDR-3-1066MHz, and 2 TB hard drive.

Have you also edited the Preferences (Performance) to increase the amount of RAM that PSE can use?
Do you have many background processes running? Having a single HDD means that everything running on your computer has to wait in the queue for disk access.
How many photos are you importing?
What file types are the photos?
How large are the photos?

Itunes slows down when sharing music is enabled

hi,
i searched through the forums and i didn't see that exact issue so i decided to post it.
as soon as i share my library itunes completely slows down.
- starting to play songs takes 5 seconds and displays the rotating rainbow circle
- rating songs takes 5 seconds also and displays the rotating rainbow circle
- resuming play after pausing also
there are two more interesting issues:
- i have a few albums where it doesn't happen! the albums aren't encoded different, have the same version of tags, are on the same drive in an adjacent folder. i tried reimporting songs, placing it into different folders or harddrives. no changes.
- only 2% of my library is shared and it seems like most of it is recently added music. but: no differences in encoding, tags, place on the harddrive. renaming, readding, moving the files didn't change the situation.
i also disabled automatic updating of playlists, deleted all my playlist folders, reinstalled itunes, tried basically everything.
what does itunes do in the network when playing, rating songs, ...? i'm using a fast wlan, but i don't think that's the issue or does itunes reexport the xml-file after every play? has it something to do with auto-update-play-counts after every song (which i couldn' find in the preferences)?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
regards,
eric.
by the way: i'd loooooove to see pandora-like functionality in the next major versin of itunes!!! :)))

When you are sharing your iTunes, any other users you share with are accessing your hard drive and music foilder simultaneously with you. Since shared users are not playing exactly the same song at the same time as you, your hard drive's heads are scanning and reading from more points than they would be with you alone listening. There is a need to cache some part of the files for sharing, and that uses a bit of your RAM too. I guess it would be similar to saying that your car drives fine as long as you are driving it alone. Pile a few friends in with you, tow their cars behind yours, and suddenly, your car has nowhere near the performance it did with just you in it. Aside from adding more RAM, buying a fatser hard drive or stepping up your processor, this is simply an issue with sharing one system between more than one user at the same time, and it can't be remedied.

Query slow down when added a where clause

I have a procedure that has performance issue, so I copy some of the query and run in the sql plus and try to spot which join cause the problem, but I get a result which I can figuer out why. I have a query which like below:
Select Count(a.ID) From TableA a
-- INNER JOIN other tables
WHERE a.TypeID = 2;
TableA has 140000 records, when the where clause is not added, the count return quite quick, but if I add the where clause, then the query slow down and seems never return so I have to kill my SQL Plus session. TableA has index on TypeID and TypeID is a number type. When TablA has 3000 records, the procedure return very quick, but it slow down and hang there when the TableA contains 140000 records. Any idea why this will slow down the query?
Also, the TypeID is a foreign key to another table (TableAType), so the query above can written as :
Select Count(a.ID) From TableA a
-- INNER JOIN other tables
INNER JOIN TableAType atype ON a.TypeID = atype.ID
WHERE atype.Name = 'typename';
TableAType table is a small table only contains less than 100 records, in this case, would the second query be more efficient to the first query?
Any suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance...

TableA now has 230000 records and 28000 of them has the TypeID 2.
I haven't use the hint yet but thank you for your reply which let me to to run a query to check how many records in TableA has TypeID 2. When I doing this, it seems pretty fast. So I begin with the select count for TableA only and gradually add table to join and seems the query is pretty fast as long as TableA is the fist table to select from.
Before in my query TableA is the second table to join from, there is another table (which is large as well but not as large as TableA) before TableA. So I think this is why it runs slow before. I am not at work yesterday so the query given in my post is based on my roughly memory and I forget to mention another table is joined before TableA, really sorry about that.
I think I learn a lesson here, the largest table need to be in the begining of the select statement...
Thank you very much everyone.

Songs slowing down

Before the update all my imported MP3 songs played perfectly. Yet ever since I installed the latest update my songs start playing,but then suddenly slow down and speed back up again after about 10 seconds. I thought it may be the songs but it slows down in different parts each time I play my music, its completely random. Sometimes I wish I couldn't even play the music like some.

I don't know why your iPod/songs are doing this, but it might be doing this because you are shaking the iPods HD(Hard Drive) while you are running/jogging. Considering that it does not do this when it is just sitting on your lap.
It is not really good to run with the iPod video(5g iPod)because it has an HD. It is not good because while you run at the exact same time the HD is being moved around(which is not good). If I were you I wouldn't run with the iPod. If you really want to run with your iPod then you should probably purchase the iPod Nano because it doesn't have an HD.
But that is just my opinion

We have created a stage schema and tested application which is working fine when we are moving it to another schema for further testing ( This schema is created using same scripts which were used to create objects in staging schema) the performanc of application (Developed in .NET) slows down drastically
Some of the store procedures we have checked at Databse/SQLdeveloper level are giving almost same performance but at Application level there is lot of difference
Can you please help

Does LR 3 slow down when there's a lot of photos?

I've been adding a ton of photos into my catalog recently (I now have 23 thousand photos) and I'm wondering if having a lot of photos in my catalog will slow Lightroom down.
I've been recently worried about the speed of LR because it has been slow to respond lately, and It's now consuming 850MB of ram when I open a 14Mp Jpg without any adjustments of any kind.
Thanks, and if you have any suggestions to how to make Lightroom faster, send them this way.

Some has slow process when a large number of photos are available but I think it's most related to their OS configuration ? Actually it would be a good idea to "optimize" the LR configuration : good RAM value is 4 Gb, memory cache have to be as large as possible, HD's (not all on same disk : system and pictures), SSD and/or RAID aso.. Minimum values indicated by Adobe are really the VERY LOWEST to use. And as other already told : optimize your catalog regularly.
You'll find on many sites good tips to make the best possible configuration, avoiding in principle a slow response of soft.
An experienced professional photographer, Martin Evening, has published a (cheap) book about LR3; it could be considered as one of the LR3 bibles. There are many tips given, difficult to transmit in detail on a forum like this one.
I never have found any problem with slow down of LR. But my biggest library, personally I use several libraries, is under 40000 !
Cheers.

Safari suffering slow down when browsing Facebook

Morning everyone,
Well what can i say, the title says it all.
When browsing Facebook with Safari (version 6.0.1) after about 10 minutes or so, Safari becomes very unresponsive, massive slow down, freezing, beachballing etc, any other sites im on whilst the Facebook tab is open also suffers too,
I use google chrome and its absolutely fine, so 2+2 being 5, im guessing its an issue with my Safari, maybe an installed plug in or something.
Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Its on a Macbook Pro Retina running ML 10.8.2

Will 6,000 songs slow down my macbook 2.2ghz?

Hi
I've searched for an answer for this with no luck yet.
My macbook is 4 months old, it's a 2.2ghz and has OSX 10.5.2.
I haven't installed my itunes library from my old computer yet: it has about 6,000 songs.
I like how fast this macbook is and I don't want it to slow down just because of songs. Will my macbook still run as fast with the library installed?
Thanks in advance!
DK

Will my macbook still run as fast with the library installed?
Yes.
The only time the songs will slow it down is if the hard drive is full (as in very little space left) but it won't because they are songs. It will be because the OS does not have room to work on the HD.
