Thunderbird is slow - because of McAfee

Occasionally Thunderbird email service installed on my desktop is very slow opening an email and loading emails. I have multiple email addresses and it does not happen with all of them. It happens with the two (out of 10) addresses that receive the most emails. What can I do. I thought it might be my anti-virus program but since it only happens on two of the 10 emails that receive messages on my Thunderbird I do not believe that it can be he anti-virus or that would effect all the emails I receive and not just some.

Permanently disable the McAfee add-on and your problem will permanently go away is my guess. If that is the case contact McAfee for a non defective version of their product, which has been the cause of various weird slowness, hangs crashes etc for more than a year.

I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.

Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:

Scroll down to DHCP Settings
You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
Username: tech
Password: t3lu5tv
... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries? My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded l so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them

In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries? My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded, so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them?

Hello Annabel,
To move entire projects export them as Aperture Libraries, and then import those Libraries into the other Aperture Library:
Select the Project in the Inspector, then
File -> Export -> Project as Library
In the other Library do:
File -> Import -> Library/ Project
But I am not quite convinced, that the size of your current Aperture Library is responsible for the slowness of Aperture - Aperture is designed to cope with huge libraries.
You may want to post your hardware setup and details of your library, and some of the hardware experts here may help you to find the reason for the slowness.
A huge library should only be a problem, if the projects are too big, and if you have many, many smart albums at the root level of your library.
So keep the projects small, and try to move some of your smart albums to lower levels in your folder structure (then Aperture does not need to scan all of your images to build the smart album).
Other reasons for Aperture's slowness may be, e.g.
An overfull system drive and/or external drive (keep at least 20% of your drives empty)
lack of RAM
a corrupted Aperture Library, that needs repairing
Have you checked those options, before you split your library? It would be a pity to split it, for you would loose the ability to browse all parts at the same time, to use all your images in the Media Browser, etc.

If I upgrade my iphone 3Gs to iOS5 then whether its speed will reduce or it will become slow because its processor is only 600 MHZ ? If it is so then whether it should be upgrarded to iOS4 ?

I'm running iOS 5 on my 3GS, and it runs fine, granted it's not as fast as a 4 or 4S, but it will still run fine.

Is illustrator running slow because of large file size?

Is my illustrator running slow? I have an i7 3770K, 16gb ram, gtx 660i 2g, h100i, ax1200i and maximus formula v. I'm running dual 24" 1920x1080 monitors. File size is 800x600 pixals with 5 layers and 100+ paths in each layer. Is the program running slow because the file is too big or is there a problem with illustrator?

If you have a internal HD available, you can select it as a scratch disk...
the above dialog is from CS3, but you have something similar in your Preferences file.
If you are running out of disk space, then there's not enough scratch to perform certain ops efficiently and it could slow things down considerably. Just a thought.

I can't access my thunderbird gmx account because it won't accept my password

I can't access my thunderbird gmx account because it won't accept my password. This problem (I've been trying for a week now to find the solution) began when I used my laptop from a different location (that may or may not be relevant). My password is correct but I am simply told to retry it. So I can't access my gmx emails in Thunderbird. (I can access them by going to the gmx site but that is very laborious and not what I want to do.)

I was recently attacked by registry dr and conduit malware. Malware has been removed, but since then thunderbird is slow and doesn't respond. How do I fix it?

I was attached by registry doctor and several conduit malware programs. I had the malware removed from my computer. But ever since them thunderbird has been very slow or not resonding at all. l have uninstalled and reinstalled thunderbird twice. The first time it seemed like it fixed the problem for a few minutes, but then it stopped respondig.
I have tried opening in safe mode, and the first time it seemed like it worked better, but before long it stopped responding.
Any idea what the problem is and what to do about it?

See if any of this helps. My guess is that it is your McAfee.

Bridge is slow because it's only using two threads

I'm finding that Bridge (CS6) exhibits very poor performance when building 100% previews, I think the software is limited to only two threads.
If you load bridge and go into a folder with some images and then Tools->Cache->Purge you'll see that Bridge takes a long time to rebuild the previews even on a high end machine, especially if you have both "Always High Quality" and "100% Previews" selected. I think the problem is that it appears to build the previews using only two threads on the CPU, so while a 2005 dual core machine might get maxed out, a Quad Core, or 8 Thread, or even 12 Thread machine sits there mostly idle while Bridge grinds away for an hour or more.
It's easy to check this, just load up Windows Task Manager, and view the "Processes" tab and Bridge will only ever use 2 threads worth of CPU cycles, i.e. 50% on a Quad Core, and 17% on a 12 Thread high end desktop. I've seen the problem with JPG files, PSD files, and NEF files (Nikon RAW). The processing time of large Nikon D800E NEF files is very slow. After shooting 900 images I can expect the preview build time to take over an hour on a super high end machine with loads of memory, storage IO, and CPU cores and threads, all because it appears bottlenecked on software design. Meanwhile the machine is only running at roughly 20% utilization, the memory barely used, and the IO system close to idle.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, 64GB RAM, 12 Thread Core i7 3960X at 4Ghz, two Nvidia GTX470 graphics (in SLI), a 2-way RAID-0 SSD storage array for the OS, and an 8-way RAID-0 SSD array for the photoshop work files. The hardware is clearly not the issue. Although, just to check, I confirmed the same problem exists on a simple Win8 Core i7 system, and a Core i5 laptop.
Even worse, after waiting an hour to build previews for 900 images (3 seconds each), after adding GPS data, or after making edits in Camera Raw it then needs to rebuild all the previews again, this is understandable, but super fustrating when you know it's not working as fast as it really should be.
To be clear, I'm not upset it takes 6 seconds per image per thread - there's a lot of work to do, especially with D800 files. But I'm upset that Bridge's software design only uses 2 threads, and thus limits performance to building a preview every 3 seconds, when in fact it could be working 6 times faster on a PC with 12 thread, and I find it shocking that Adobe's latest software wouldn't be optimized for anything more than a dual core CPU, wasn't quad core launched in 2006?
Roland.
P.S. for any Adobe Tech's reading - I submitted this under case number 184020852 and there's an attached PDF in the ticket including several screenshots.

There have been many discussions in Photoshop forum about processor speed and multicores. I know Bridge is not Photoshop but it may give you some insight as what is going on. Photoshop has supported multithreading since CS3. Here is a quote from Adobe Tech Note:
Photoshop generally runs faster with more processor cores, although some features take greater advantage of the additional cores than others. There is a law of diminishing returns with multiple processor cores: The more cores you use, the less you get from each additional core. Therefore, Photoshop doesn’t run four times as fast on a computer with 16 processor cores as on a computer with four cores. For most users, the increase in performance that more than six cores provides doesn't justify the increased cost.
I run embedded thumbnails (therefore 100% previews are off) as they take up less space and are the fastest to load. I ran a simple test with Bridge CS5 (32 bit) and CS6 (64 bit) on one folder of 200 video images totaling 16 gigs, or 80 meg per file. With folder loaded I clicked Tools/Cache/purge cache for xxx folder. I then timed the rebuild until the arrow stopped spinning in lower left hand corner. For CS5 the time was 35 seconds. For CS6 the time was 72 seconds.
I then took a folder of 1147 jpg images of 660 meg (427k/image). In CS5 it took 12 seconds to build the cache, and the same for CS6. However, the interesting part of this is when I loaded this folder in CS6 I had never been there before so it had to build it. THis took 80 seconds. When I purged it an it rebuilt it took 12 seconds. I have noticed this phenomemum before where the initial build takes 5-7 times longer than a rebuild of the cache.
I then ran the same test with the still images with 100% preview and Always High Quality. With CS5 it took 3 min 30 seconds and with CS6 it took 5 min. 20 seconds.
So with these very SIMPLE tests I conclude that CS6 has quite a bit slower cache process than CS5. As we have all learned with buying new products, new and improved does not always mean it is better.

Thunderbird extremely slow all of a sudden

Not sure what happened, no changes to the operating system or hardware. All of a sudden Thunderbirt started to slow down; I really can't use Thunderbird any longer as it is hanging for about 10 -20 seconds after each and every command (send, move, delete, etc).
I rebuilt the database, repaired the folders, and compacted them. Rebuilding the database helped for about one day, now it is slow again.
I'm using the pop server with Yahoo, but download all messages to my hard disk, deleting them from the server. So inbox, outbox are fairly small, local files & folders are numerous.

Thanks for the link; in fact, deleting the places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wa files as per instructions did not yield improvement, but when I deleted the same for Firefox - it worked.... Now Thunderbird behaves as usual.

Context menu for .exe and .lnk slow becaus of nv3dappshext.dll

Hi
I recently made a fresh install of Windows 7 and I'm now noticing that the context menu for .exe and .lnk files opens very slow. With the help of ShellExView it looks like it is caused by C:\Windows\system32\nv3dappshext.dll. If i disable nv3dappshext.dll the
problem goes away. So my first try was to reinstall all Nvidia drivers but that didn't help. I'm now thinking that there is some other file that makes nv3dappshext.dll corrupt.
Is there anyone here that might know what's wrong?
//Simon

Hi Simon, did you keep this disabled? Did you report to NVID.support?
NVIDIA are as bad as Microsoft are as bad as Intel, all kinds of application errors (going for the cleanest build on the planet :) so, given that I don't
have
any 3D-ready devices (ergo)
any superfluous NVIDIA programs*
the DISPLAY DRIVER's all I need, and still I get app issues (recently, disconcertingly, the ominous,
snail-mode 'Kernel Processing Power' event (cores are disabled because of some event/temp?)
BSOD/Shell Crash when extending display to AOC 2036 monitor @ 1920x1080, not gaming!
FIXED by installing NVIDIA's 'system tool' {nTune} (THANKS!!! to Haider
Ali Khan for the tip! TdrDelay QWORD:8 failed to fix, almost bought a new AC Adapter!)
New nTune issues now being monitored....
* Custom install NVIDIA, only select the driver if you're not a gamer, sterescopic not
{yet} required if you're in 2D, Physx Engine only for Steam(online) gamers,
HD AUDIO not required (if you've also got HD Intel doing that for ya :D
I will fix NVIDIA's and Microsoft's mistakes :D I might even upload my (native virtualised) build when done. It's so slick, so nice to have a tool that works, and one that can keep up with your imagination!)

Send data BPC 5.1 very slow because Antivirus Kaspersky

Dear All....
I have problem with BPC 5.1, the problem when send data to server (send and refresh schedule ). The prosses send data is very slow. I think its because antivirus (Kaspersky), when protection is enable, prosses send data very slow. But when i turn off the protection, prosses send data faster...
The problem is imposible if i turn off protection to every client.
So, what the object, file, application, macro or rule must i exclusion (unscan) with antivirus??
I have already give exclusion to file Ev4DMMPM.xla, but sometime its work, sometime not...
Please help...
Best regards,
Dharma Setiadi

Dear all...
Thanks for attention.....
I have already exclusion folder BPC but still not work. But i think the problem with port. I try turn off scanning with port 80 and its work. I never find slow again...
But the problem, i can't turn off scanning with port 80, its about security. How about if i change port 80 for BPC..?? What is impact with server and with client..?? And whatever that must be noticed in this port changing..?? setting server manager..??
Note : i used multi-server configuration...
Best Regards,
Dharma Setiadi

Why is Thunderbird so slow on my new computers?

My two new computers (Lenovo PC and HP laptop) both run Windows 8. Thunderbird is extremely slow on both when selecting and deleting messages. Get frequent 'not responding' messages.

Internet going slower because of WRT54GS?

I just recently upgraded my WRT54GS's firmware yesterday and it the internet was going at super fast speed and everything was working well, but now (Today) my internet is slower than usual, could this be because of the router? Do you guys know why this is happening? Also, can you give me some suggestions on how to make the internet restore its fast speed? Thanks!

To be honest, the first time I accidentally let go and the second I only got to 26. Should I re-set one more time and actually get to 30?

Is my Mac Mini slow because of Leopard...or do I need more memory?

I've had my Mac Mini for 18 months and am a happy convert to Apple, although I still use Windows at work. I recently installed Leopard on my Mac Mini and it seems to run a bit slower, especially when I have a lot open. It has a 1.66 GHz, Intel Core Duo processor, 2 cores, 2MB L2 Cache, 512 MB memory, 667 MHz Bus Speed, etc...not sure what it all means, but that's what I have.
Should I be considering upgrading anything, or checking on anything to speed it up?

Honestly, I'm surprised a 512GB Mini will even run.....
Which just goes to show how easily it has become common currency that Leopard won't run in less than 1Gb, when it fact it's perfectly happy in 512Mb RAM - as long as the user isn't running PPC software, or multiple applications, or expecting fast performance.
And honestly, while maxing out the mini to it's 3Gb limit is going to give best possible performance, it is hardly necessary for a satisfactory user experience. It depends a great deal on what the user needs, and for many that means the the 1Gb base is plenty sufficient. More is better, but not always necessary.

Report run very slow because some user accessing the same report

Dear All,
I group my table into 3 tablespace And some reports, accessing different tablespace (more than 1 table space). and these report will always be run by 5 user in the same time. and make it run very slow. Is it going to make the report very slow ? Please advice
Thanks in advance
Widhi

Hi,
i hope that may not be the actual problem..
if ur report processing includes relatively high
amount of calculations on tables..then the report
processing can be very slow...
In that case try to create a table to store ur calculations
temporarily and try to use that table in the report..
