Very slow capture for hdv

Hi
I bought a Sony Hd camcorder, the Sony Hc7.
It transfers using HDv.
I attempted to start making a movie with the footage shot on this camera in Final cut Pro Hd but it wouldnt read it as my version was pre support for HDV.
However the new version of Final Cut Express would read it and so I bought that. It does capture the footage but very slowly, a 30 second clip previously would take 30 seconds to capture.But now it takes about 1 minute to capture.
Is this a function of
1) Using Final Cut Express and not Pro?
2) USing HDV, is it always this slow compared to standard Def?
3) My Mac power? I have a G4 with 1.5 ghz Powerpc and 1.25 gb ddr sdram and about 50 gig in internal memory and the scratch disk is set to my external drive with 638 gigs of spare memory.
Any suggestions? I am not keen on buyng a new machine until Apple bring one out with a bluray drive.

It sounds as if it is converting HDV to AIC.
What computer are you using?

Very slow broadband for 2 months

Hi,
Having problems with very slow broadband for the past 2 months. I'm supposed to be getting 7.5 Mb download speeds but its nowhere near at the moment. More like 0.3 Mb download 0.6 Mb upload. Just installed brand new homehub a few days ago...but no change.

With your line attenuation you should be getting a sync speed of 16000 kbps and a profile of about 14 Meg, however it looks like you line has been capped at 1/2 a Meg, that is why your noise margin is so high ( should be around 6dB ) now this could be due to a line fault ( loss of framing/signal ) or a problem with your internal wiring.
However since you have has this problem for so long your best bet is to ring BT India on 0800 111 4567 and try and get a SFI fault raised so an Openreach broadband engineer can come and see if they can sort the problem out.

Very slow bootup for windows 7 home premium on x200

hi i had recently bought the windows 7 home premium upgrade for my x200 with ocz vertex ssd. x200 model : 7459 p57. since i have install the os, i got a very slow bootup at the welcome page. anyone facing the issue or any solution? previously using the windows 7 rc edition with the ssd, there's no issue. can anyone help me?

You can probably simply download all the Windows 7 versions from the Lenovo Web site. Win 7 by itself will install enough to get you running for the most part.

Very Slow Speed for OS X Updates

Hey Everyone
I have been attempting to download updates through the Mac App Store recently on my mid-2013 MacBook Air, currently running OS X 10.10.2.
It seems as though a download of 40 MB is going to take around 2 hours... very weird because my connection is extremely fast. For example, I can download about 4 GB in about half an hour.
Is anyone else experiencing OS X updates downloading very slow through the MAS. It seems as though it doesn't affect any app downloads though.

I'm facing same issue with same modem.. esp when I use wifi. However, if I connect to ether port its much better.. Please let me know if you found a solution..

IPhoto '08 very slow upload for calendar / books?

Hi,
I'm having a LOT of problems with uploading my 2008 Calendar projects. I've created a Calendar in iPhoto. The total size is 22 MB. When I click "Buy Now", it goes through the process of assembling the calendar, and then starts uploading the files to Apple. But the upload process is VERY SLOW.... it uploads maybe a hundred KB a minute or so, then usually stalls out and I get an error message saying "There was an error sending your files to Apple. Retry?"
-I've tried this at least 40-50 times over the past week (yes, these are Christmas presents for the grandparents!).
-At first I figured it was bandwidth at the Apple side, so I've tried it at all hours of the day and night, with no effect.
-I've tried it on wireless network at home, as well as plugged directly into network at both home and work.
-I have been able to get 2 orders to go through, the rest have all failed. I've actually received one of the orders, and the calendars look great!
-My broadband connection is fine... I'm able to upload pictures to Shutterfly, Flickr, and via FTP with NO problems at all and very rapid throughput. Speedtest.net shows my upload and download speeds are fine.
The odd thing is... When I watch the Activity Monitor, during assembly of the calendar I see high CPU utilization and very little network utilization from iPhoto (as I would expect). But once the files start uploading, I see a few spikes in outgoing network traffic, then erratic spikes of outbound data (nothing sustained). When I send large batches of files through FTP, or other upload I get sustained outbound network traffic. After a few minutes... I hear the fan on my MacBook cranking up, even though the CPU activity is idle on the activity monitor.
My theory: this is a software problem in iPhoto, NOT a network problem. Possibly from one of the recent iPhoto or security updates? I suppose this could be a corrupted preferences file, but don't know which ones I can safely delete. My iPhoto library is working fine, no errors in that.
Any suggestions? Santa will bring you good karma if you can help me get these calendars to the grandparents soon!
Jim

Chris
There were a couple of cases of this reported after v7 was launched.
Some things to try:
1. Make sure you're up-to-date - iPhoto is up to 7.1.1 now.
2. Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. Try delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder

MacBook Pro 2010 Very Slow Startup for computer and Programs

My MacBook Pro is very slow start up and sometimes fails to. also when using Safari computer will freeze. when opening and closing programs it can take up to 15 min. this all started in the last two weeks. I have also had to update Yosemiti a lot in the last couple weeks. Is there issues with the updates or is there something more going on?

Post an etrecheck report back here, which may give us some clues.
Cheers

Very slow LTE for a month in 22033 zip code (or is it my house??)

I'm a long time VzW customer and always had great connectivity and speed.
last month or so though LTE speed has been TERRIBLE. I can't get above 0.20Mbps download and even less up!
at first I thought it was my device, a Galaxy Note 2, but when I was recently in NJ it registered 39.29 down and 13.93 up.
I Returned home and tried out my LTE ipad and my wife's LTE Samsung Galaxy S5 Had the same very slow speeds.
what gives VZW? At this rate I may have to try AT&T...

Well, my theory is simple: My phone is set to lock to a weak XLTE over a stronger LTE much like my last phone connected to 4G over a stronger 3G signal. They say you only get pushed over to XLTE in congested areas. My area is 2 blocks off of the major main streets and business areas. So, I think I'm in the fringe XLTE area and given my location and city, I have one of the few XLTE ready phones at the moment (around here) and that's why I get pushed over to the weaker, but less congested band. So, right now, having an incompatible-with-XLTE phone would be faster, ironically.

Very slow boot for Mt. Lion imac mid 2007. Want speedup.

Last boot from off took about 11 minutes. Once booted imac works OK. This slow down has been in the last month only. How do I speed up the process? I have tried repairing permissions, repair disk, and maintenence utility. These test are very slow and no improvement seen. I have 3 gb ram.
Thanks.

TM is very slow even for tiny backups

Hi,
I've been using Time Machine for quite some time now, a year or more. It was fine at first, no problems doing the initial backup and everything works fine.
But over time it seems to have become slower and slower. Now even when the amount of data to back up is very small (a few megabytes), the whole process takes 25 minutes or more. When the backup is larger (100mb or more), the backup often takes longer than an hour. Time Machine spends more time backing up than it does waiting in between backups.
I see nothing in the Console logs that indicates a problem. Here's what a typical small backup looks like:
14/03/09 7:47:27 AM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[1216] Starting standard backup
14/03/09 7:47:36 AM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[1216] Backing up to: /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb

14/03/09 8:13:03 AM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[1216] Backup completed successfully.
As you can see, well over 20 minutes from start to finish. The whole time it's happening, backupd thrashes the disk and uses 20-50% CPU, so it's not fun.
Surely this is not normal? I never measured it before, but I'm certain it was many times faster before.

The pre-backup and copying time is now very short, less than a minute.
Ah, that's more like it.
Post-backup thinning takes almost all of the 10 minutes. Removing the IMAP folder reduced the size of the TM data by around 10gb. So the issue here seems to be the number of files. I suspect there is something else in my old backups (which go back around 12 months) that has a large number of small files, just like the IMAP folder, and that is contributing to the 10 minute post-backup time.
Not exactly. Post-backup thinning is just TM deleting "expired" backups -- hourlies over 24 hours, dailies over a month. Once it's down to deleting only a few at a time, it should be much faster. What may be happening is, the old backups still contain thousands of the "multi-links" from the IMAP files. Once they get weeded out, each one will be deleted much faster.
A couple of things to try:
Download the TimeTracker app, from www.charlessoft.com.
It shows most of the files saved by TM for each backup (excluding some hidden/system files, etc.). This will tell you what, specifically, is being backed-up now.
Do a +Repair DIsk+ (not Permissions) on your TM drive via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
Then watch both the number of backups deleted and how long it takes to delete them.

Very Slow Save for Web in CS3 Mac

I have Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1 running on a 2.16GHz Intel MacBook running 10.4.11 with 2Gb of installed RAM and around 30% free hard disk space.
Regardless of file size or dimension, Save For Web is painfully slow to load and to save out. Optimized previews update quick enough when settings are changed, but everything else about Save For Web feels like wading in treacle.
Anyone else got this problem? It would be good just to know that I'm not the only one with this issue!
Any ideas for fixes?

>My hatred of laptops has NOTHING to do with Photoshop
And my commentary had nothing to do with your hatred. The OP is all about Photoshop usage on laptops, and I am quite experienced using PS on laptops. When I said
>Note that older laptops like Ramón mentioned would not run PS...
I was just discussing the OP.
For the record I am not a proponent of using laptops or even the stronger iMacs as desktop tower replacements for heavy graphics users. I have consistently recommended in favor of towers and long life cycles and I will continue to do so.
However for the last six months or so I have frequently been using a C2D Macbook Pro as a desktop replacement and I can report unequivocally that it works, especially power-wise, which is what the OP was about. Also based on that experience and also unequivocally I consider using MBPs or the similarly limited iMacs for production graphics work inadvisable.
Strong laptops are incredible machines. They open mobile computing usages that can be of great benefit to many folks, enough benefits that I for one will always have a laptop as one of my computers. The ability to literally do any computing task (except volume graphics production) anywhere is pretty spectacular.
Photo capture, edits and presentation in the field is of huge benefit. Even with something as mundane as this forum communication the ability to do it sitting in the living room instead of sequestered in an office is IMO a good thing.

Smartview functions very slow - even for one cell.

We have several Smartview functions spreadsheets that are running very slowly. I took one and removed everything except for one cell that with the hsgetvalue formula, and the cells that it links to to get the point of view. It either takes about 10-20 seconds to refresh or gives us error 12030 and does not refresh.
Other spreadsheets seem to have no problem refreshing, even if they are quite a bit larger.
Have any of you seen anything like this? Any ideas?

It could be some type of network connectivity issue.
If you install Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/), you can see the actual communicatiosn from Smartview and the web server running smartview. If you get an immediate response between the request and the response, then something is probably going funny inside of Smartview on your machine. If the response to the data request from Smartview is taking a long time, then I would investigate teh server to see if there are any resource issues, etc.
It won't immediately give you the cause; however, it will help you narrow some things down.

Very slow connection for about one week

For the past week or so my connection speed has dropped massively, usually i could download at about 800kb/s and now it has reduced to around 5-10 kb/s.
My router is connected directly to the phone line, and is connected to my pc via an ethernet cable and and wirelessly to 1 laptop and an xbox 360.
I checked BT service statues and last week there was a problem (which has since been resolved) in the Bishop Auckland area - I have reset my router several times and the problem persists.
I have tried about a dozen times, but as of yet cannot get the BT speedtest to run, I enter my phone number and then the screen remains blank, I have tried this in firefox and IE on both my desktop and laptop. I will carry on trying.
My results from speed.io are quite confusing as the download and upload speeds are "excellent"
