  • Save an empty document in InDesign CC and Illustrator CC takes more than 3 min.

    Save an empty document in InDesign CC and Illustrator CC takes more than 3 min.
    The same if you open an empty document.
    I monitored the application status using Activity Monitor and every time I saved a document the application didn't respond then, after about three minutes, comes back to life.
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro, 2.6 Ghz, 8 Gb Ram with OS X 10.9.
    Please let me know If someone else had the same issue because I use Adobe softwares not only for my personal job but also to show people how Adobe software works...
    Thanks.

    Adobe Drive is the reason!
    Please communicate this to everybody massively because I think is the reason why many Adobe CC users refer about bad performance.
    I heard many issues related to this and no one talk about this.
    Thanks Hank.

  • My iMac 21.5 Inch takes more than 10 minutes to boot. How to solve??

    I have just installed Mac OS X v10.6.7. The iMac just boot super slowly. It takes more than 10 minutes to become responsive...
    How can i solve the problem???

    This could be something as simple as a corrupted cache or as drastic as a failing hard drive, but try the less drastic first. Back up all your data and run Onyx 'automation'. You could empty all your caches manually, but Onyx will do it in one click. If Onyx doesn't resolve the start up issue you will have to start thinking about more drastic measures.

  • Splitting an event takes more than 3 min

    Hi,
    I have about 8.000 photos in my library and 2.500 photos in a single event. Now I want to extract a set of pictures from this event and move it in a new event. Is there a faster way doing this than splitting the event before and after the set of pictures? This created 3 events and then I have to move the 3rd event back into the first, the 2nd event is what I want to keep.
    BTW, with over 8.000 pictures in the library, is it normal that splitting an event takes more than 3 minutes?

    Danielle
    Flag the pics you want to move to the new Event and the go Events -> Create Event from Flagged Photos. That will probably be faster.
    BTW, with over 8.000 pictures in the library, is it normal that splitting an event takes more than 3 minutes?
    I wouldn't have thought so, but it might take a while with an Event that has more that 2,500 pics in it. Remember, Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents). So splitting an event literally means creating a folder and moving files to it and so on.

  • 6 million + records, query takes more than 50 min to execute.

    Hi
    I am trying to get records from a table which has more than 6 million of records.
    The value set of the particular col IND can be
    NULL
    '0'
    '1'
    and other value like A B '6'
    The data type of IND is varchar.
    I want all the records where the value is other than NULL, 0 and 1
    I tried this simple query
    SELECT ID, IND
    FROM tablename
    WHERE
    IND IS NOT NULL
    AND IND <> '0'
    AND IND <> '1'
    Now this query is taking more than 30-40 min. Is this a way I can speed up this query. Also I can't index on the column.
    any suggestions ?

    I don't know anything about your tables or hardware (nor your Oracle version because you didn't post it) but 30 - 40 minutes seems excessive for a full table scan on only 6 million rows.
    On my lowly test instance, this full table scan takes a little over a minute:

  • Kernel_task is using more than 250% of CPU and My Macbook Pro (13 inch i7 8gb Ram Mid 2012) is getting heated, when ever running Facetime or Games.

    When ever i try to use FaceTime or Counter Strike GO my CPU gets more than 250% usage and my mac gets really slow.. This is the same when ever i try to run any middle end applications not extreme ones. Tried googling and apple support communities uninstalled all my 3rd party softwares. any help??

    The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below is a partial list of causes for this condition.
    Thermal overload
    This can be due to accumulation of dust, high ambient temperature, or to the malfunction of a cooling fan or temperature sensor. The kernel tries to compensate by throttling back the CPU's. You might see messages like the following in the Console window:
    SMC::smcHandleInterruptEvent WARNING status=0x0 (0x40 not set) notif=0x0
    The timestamps of those messages (if any) indicate the times, since the log was last cleared, when a processor was being throttled because of high temperature.
    Note that if the problem is caused by a faulty sensor that reads too high, there may be no actual overheating.
    The Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a bad fan or temperature sensor.
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    Encryption
    Transferring large amounts of data to or from an encrypted disk image or FileVault volume puts an extra load on the kernel. If both the source and the destination are encrypted, the load may be doubled. If you transfer data from an encrypted disk image on an encrypted partition to another such image on another encrypted partition, the load may be quadrupled.
    This issue probably doesn't affect late-model Macs with an Intel i-series, recent Xeon, or later processor. Those processors support hardware-accelerated encryption. You can determine what kind of processor you have by selectingAbout This Mac from the Apple menu in the menu bar.
    Installed software
    User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility bycompletely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or booting in safe mode (with the shift key held down at the startup chime.) Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or booting in safe mode may not be as easy as you think it is.
    Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
    In some cases the issue has reportedly been resolved by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.

  • Why does my MBP 2011 take more than 90 seconds to boot and be usable

    MBP 13"  2011, OS 10.9.4, 4G RAM
    The boot time from press start to when I can use my MAC is excruciating, at least 90 seconds.
    I have REPAIRED DISK PERMISSIONS AFTER EACH UPDATE OF SOFTWARE,
    I have created a Guest Account and the 'start/to use time is 1/3.
    I have NO 3rd party software, all Apple,
    My iPhono Library is only? 10.5G
    I have reset the SMC-Shift/Control/Option-hold- start
    Once the Mac is up and running it seems to run ok with Safari, Mail running, but add to that NUMBERS or Garage Band 10, (fagedabowdit),
    so, short of more patience, or RAM, any suggestions on this LOOOOOOOONG boot time?
    Thank you all

    Is this the home folder items on the right I copy and paste into the new HOME on the newly created Admin Account (using a different  name)? So I select the the 10 folders, select copy and I assume all content is copied as well and then paste that into.....ok, I'll bug off and read and re-read and then decide to try--or not.

  • At first launch of a fdf file, Windows installer takes more than 30 min

    I updated my Acrobat 9 software.  After that, I noticed that at the first launch of a .fdf file, the Windows intaller works for about 30 min (during which time I cannot do anything) before opening the file.  After that, evryting seems normal.  I have Acrobat 9 on several machines (University License) and this happens for each of them.  I have instructed my co-workers to rename the .fdf files as .pdf to avoid this problem, and to only try to open theur first .fdf file when they know they have at least 30 min free...  Why is it so ?  This problem did not occur with previous versions of Acrobat.

    Just for the heck of it, I renamed a FDF file to a PDF file and tried to open it, no go. I was able to import a FDF to the original PDF. The install option is a bit of an issue and I am not sure what to say to that. It may be looking for the PDF file on the hard drive and not actually be trying to install Acrobat. I opened a FDF in the same folder as the PDF and it opened right up. Otherwise, I think the location of the PDF has to be encoded in the FDF file. The form name is typically at the end of the FDF file (OPEN in notepad or such to look at the details of the FDF). You will not that it does not start as %PDF, but %FDF.
    As I mentioned, Acrobat is likely looking for the original document listed at the end of the FDF file.

  • Ipod mini cant take more than 20 songs

    About 2 versions of itunes ago my ipod mini stopped being able to take more than 20-30 songs. I do not synch my mini as it can't hold all the songs I have in itunes. But when I try to drag songs it won't take as much as it used to. I've restored 6 or 7 times and it seems to get worst. I can drag one song at a time but around the tenth it copies really slow and by the time I get to the 20th it just hangs on copying and i have to force quit.
    I have an old mini from 3 years ago. It's never been dropped or anything like that. Any thoughts?

    When iPod Mini is ON Hold down the center and menu button. When you see the apple you will need to hold the center button and the play/pause button! Here are apple's steps! Then restore you iPod Mini
    Learn how to manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
    When troubleshooting an issue with your iPod, it's sometimes helpful to manually put it into Disk Mode. Read the instructions below for iPods that have a Click Wheel. If you're not sure if your iPod has a Click Wheel, click here. In order to return it to its normal operating state, you will have to reset iPod. The instructions in this article do not apply to iPod shuffle models.
    Putting iPods with a Click Wheel into disk mode
    Before placing the iPod into disk mode, you should verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect"
    If you are having difficulty putting the iPod model into disk mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center.
    If you are still unable to put your iPod with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into disk mode you should verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect
    Now click RESTORE to restore you iPod Mini

  • MacBook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start with ML ?

    My Macbook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start. I press Start and it takes more than 10 minutes before I can enter my password. Need your help !

    Sounds like time for a PRAM reset. Here's how:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    ‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as normal.

  • Restart takes more than 2 hours!

    Since a couple of days a restart on my 2008 MacBook Pro 15 inch takes more than 2 hours. Anybody have the same problem?

    It's likely that your boot drive is failing, or that you have some other hardware fault. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test.

    Asuming 01 & 02
    We stopped one side of the weblogic server(01) and tried the failovering, requests are going to the 02 side absolutely fine but still the plugin is sending the requests to the 01 side and its taking more than 5 min to route to available (02 which is up).
    My thoughts are to reduce the WLIOTimeoutSecs 4000 to 300 value... and introduce DynamicServerList value(at the moment this value is not set not sure how the apache behaves if this value is not set any suggestion on this pls?)
    as well as to introduce ConnectTimeoutSecs (10)& ConnectRetrySecs(2)
    Could somebody please point to the solution for this?
    Edited by: user2659864 on 14-Dec-2010 01:55

    Hi,
    If you are completely shutting down the server-01 then once the server-02 sends the response back to the proxy then it would have the fresh list of which servers are running properly, hence if still the proxy is sending the request to the server-01 then this mean that the Apache process have not shared the dynamic server list with the other process or it seems to be a bug in the WLS plugin.
    Suggestion try to use the latest WLS plugin and see if you can solve this issue as most of the time it would not be a an issue with WLS plugin.
    And if you are suspending the server-01 then the below link would give you a better idea on it as how things works.
    Topic: 404 error with Apache and Suspended Weblogic managed server
    http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=4567
    Secondly by default the value of "WLIOTimeoutSecs " is 300 seconds so if you don't give this value then it would take 300 seconds which goes with "Idempotent" value which is by default "on", hence if the server is not able to send the response then it would fail over the second server after waiting 300 sec . Thus if you decrease the value of "WLIOTimeoutSecs " it would help you in case. More information can be seen below.
