Very slow movie tag edit

Hi,
when I edit my movie (m4v files) tags (the artwork), it takes ages before it is saved (several minutes).
Any reason for this?
Can I avoid this?

In addition to above, I notice this happens the first time after I've added the movie to the iTunes library...

  • My Atv2 is  very slow movies and shows take forever to load it plays for a few minutes then pauses again. I thought if was a problem with my wireless router but I replaced it with a new airport extreme and the problem persists. Air play is just as slow.

    My Atv2 is very slow with both AirPlay and rented and purchased content I spoke to apple rep and tried the things he suggested but the problem persists. Now it requires more lead time then the lenght of material being viewed. I haves broadband internet connection and airport extreme router so I don't think this should be a problem. Lately every time the unit goes to the screen saver an error message come up saying there was an error while loading content please try again later and you have to all over again. It is extremely frustrating. Any suggestions? What speed of transfer should I expect using AirPlay ?

    I'm having the same issue.  Ay fixes?  Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either.  Start mirror and severe lag then just drops.  Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

  • ICal very slow on each edit

    I'm having this problem with iCal 5.0.1 and Lion on two different iMacs: a 2010 i7 and a 2008 Core 2 Duo. Both are up to date with system updates, etc.
    The problem is this: each and every time I edit iCal -- new event, change an old event, edit a current event, etc -- iCal takes 10 to 30 seconds to update. I get the spinning beachball each time. Sometimes the menu bar title says 'iCal ... updating', sometimes not. Then the very NEXT mouse click in iCal, anywhere, gets me another spinning beachball for another 10 to 30 seconds.
    This does NOT happen with iCal 5.0.1 on my brand-new MacBook Air running Lion (came installed). Both the iMacs were updated to Lion from SL, etc.
    I can sync the calendars without problems between the three computers and with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, all via iCloud. An event entered on one device shows up properly on the other devices.
    The slow-down problem was happening when I was using MobileMe to sync but was not as bad; it's much worse now that I'm syncing with iCloud. Likewise, it occurred when the iMacs were running SL but not as bad; now much worse with Lion. On each iMac, I changed the 'refresh calendars' in the Accounts tab in preferences from 'push' to 'every five minutes' but that hasn't helped. I am syncing three calendars ('home', 'work', 'consulting') via iCloud, and one calendar on the Mac.
    Each calendar has a number of events. I edited all the repeating events so that they all end at the end of 2012, wondering if perhaps repeating to infinity was a problem, but that hasn't helped.
    On both iMacs, I have trashed the iCal.plist in my library preferences and then logged-out/logged-in, but that also hasn't helped.
    Any suggestions? iCal is pretty much unusable on the iMacs.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    I had the same issue, almost exactly. This worked for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15676949#15676949
    Application UI issues are in most cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    (Many thanks, Ferd II)
    But in order to see the files and folders I used Tinker Tool:

  • PSE 8.0 is very slow with tags

    I used to work with V5.0 and was very happy with that. Then I saw the feature of 8.0 an upgraded to it.
    After I had converted my database, the program was so slow. Adding a new tag took about one minute.
    Adding this tag to a picture took another minute. Just moving the window with the tags to another place on the screen took more than a minute. The CPU is busy all the time. Now I have removed all unused tags and the system is a little bit faster. Are there any experiences with that. Have other had similar problems. (I have about 80-100 tags in different hierachy and about 10.000 pictures in one catalog) Using names of persons and information about the quality of the pictures will probably slow down the system even more,  I guess.
    My System is a 3 GHZ CPU with 2GB RAM and 2 GB virt. Mem.
    I hope to get some help.
    Willi

    I think, I did turn that off. Just to make sure: Is it turned off in the references?
    One of the reasons, I bought it was the face tagging. Is it not usable?

  • Very SLOW movie downloads from iTunes Store

    I posted this in a different thread, but saw it was already answered. Thought I would post a new thread.
    Downloaded and installed 9.0.1. Still having EXTREMELY SLOW download speeds on any movie downloads. I am downloading "Troy" and at this time it will take 18,000 hours to download. Something definitely is not right.
    Songs download at their normal speeds. Movies take literally forever.
    So 9.0.1 did not correct the problem.

    I usually test around 5 as well, but sure enough I noticed a HUGE slowdown in my internet speed after an evening of downloading rentals last week. The slow speed (less than 1.5!) continued on after that and it took a tech support call to my ISP to get it "fixed".
    My guess - Qwest is "throttling" video-intensive internet use. Torrent or not.
    I believe Qwest automatically throttles any encrypted downloads but I don't know if AppleTV downloads are encrypted?
    My speed is back up around 5 again, and I will keep a close eye on it next time I rent.

  • ISight -Very slow movement of me

    The images on the screen I'm communicating with (the image of me) are described as moving very slowly and stilted, rather then in real time movement.On my screen, it is also slo-mo-Yet, those people say they dont have that problem with others. Any ideas?

    Hi All,
    Have you set the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streamimg speed to match your Download speed.
    This is a good place to start.
    Also when in a chat open the Connection Doctor in the Video menu of iChat and tells what frame rates yuo have at your end and from your Buddies.
    Most likely it is your Processor is busy with something else. (Downloads are worst)
    Open Activity Monitor from Application/Utilities and add up the CPU usage.
    iChat, iChatAgent and vcencoder are ichat related items
    Often people have spotted a PrintMonitor/manager that is stuck whihc can be Force Quit when highlighted.

  • Query can run in Oracle 10g but very slow in 11g

    Hi,
    We've just migrated to Oracle 11g and we noticed that some of our view are very slow (it takes seconds in 10g and takes 30 minutes in 11g), and the tables are using the local table.
    Do any of you face the same issue?
    This is our query:
    SELECT
    A.wellbore
    ,a.depth center
    ,d.MD maxbc
    ,d.XDELT xbc
    ,d.YDELT ybc
    ,e.MD minac
    ,e.XDELT xac
    ,e.YDELT yac
    from
    table_A d,table_A e, table_B a
    where a.wellbore = d.WELLBORE (+)
    and a.wellbore = e.WELLBORE(+)
    and d.MD = (select max(MD) from table_A b where b.MD < a.depth and
    d.wellBORE = b.wellBORE)
    and e.md = (select min(md) from table_A c where c.MD > a.depth and
    e.wellBORE = c.wellBORE);

    Thanks I will move to the correct one..
    Rafi,
    Build the Indexes and it is still slow. I am querying from a view from another database, which is in 10g instances.
    Moved: Query can run in Oracle 10g but very slow in 11g

  • Very slow video downloading from iTunes

    I have a FIOS 75Mbit connection (and get can 75Mbit on my N-router and Macbook Pro's WIFI).  But my new 1080p Apple TV is another matter. Two minute trailers take longer than 2 minutes to download. Half hour HD TV shows can take 90 minutes to download! And if I try to watch a movie I rented, Apple TV tells me it'll be ready to watch in "about 5 hours".
    So my immediate reaction is ***. Any ideas why my wireless performance is so great with my MBP and so terrible with my AppleTV (just 10 feet away)

    I stumbled across this thread looking for help with the same issue...slow to very slow movie downloads from iTunes.
    Changing the DNS, both on my iMac as well as my Airport Extreme router helped.
    I'm on Comcast and generally get around 33Mbps downloads via speedtest.net.  Based on several Namebench tests Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8) has always been on top and I've always configured my router and Macs using the top 3 Namebench recommendations with Google at #1 position.  However while downloading movies from iTunes Activity Monitor showed very sharp "Data received/sec" rises and falls...anywhere from 4.40MB/sec to 100KB/sec or sometimes zero.  Most of the time it would start off well, but trail off to very poor and sporatic speeds after about 30 seconds.
    Per finaleMile's and other's recommendations elsewhere I removed Google Public DNS from the settings on my router and iMac and things improved with respect to stability.  Although the "top speed" of about 4.40Mbps didn't improve, downloads did smooth out and remain between about 2.30Mbps to 4.10Mbps during the entire download.  Not speedy but a marked improvement in stability and overall download time.
    Thanks for the tip!
    BTW, I've found that during regular web surfing, using Google's Public DNS is faster so I re-add it after downloading movies from iTunes.  It's a bit of a PIA, but worth it.  Wish there were a better option though.
    FWIW I tend to download rented and purchased movies to iTunes on my iMac and then play them back via my Apple TV3 rather than "stream" them directly from iTunes.  That way if there are external network problems they won't have a negative impact on our viewing experience.

  • After web page finish, mouse movement and scroll up down very slow.

    After web page finish loading,both mouse movement and scrolling that page is very slow.
    I compare the same page on MS internet explorer and have no problem.
    p.s. I'm using intel core 2 dual on 4gb ddr3 windows vista 32bit.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.sanook.com

    Thanks for both of these answers. I am finding that I do not
    like the totally manual method all that much (but it does work).
    Using the PrintScreen-before-and-after-each-action method seems a
    little better for me. Either method requires way too much editing
    for a simple "let me show you" movie. I have moved on to version 3
    since it seems to behave a little better.
    I think it is odd how sometimes Captivate puts an action
    (like a mouse click) on a background from *two* slides previous.
    Why would it ever go backward - especially skipping over the
    previous slide to get an even older screen. If I have forced a
    screen capture, you would think it would stay with that.
    I realize that I am not using Captivate where its strengths
    seem to be (eLearning) but there must be a lot of people capturing
    demos of web-based material. Does everyone have this
    problem?

  • Very slow editing, playback sluggy even after render ...

    I working on a movie, footage is mostly 1080p 50 fr. For the moment the movielenght on the timeline  is only 8 minutes and editing is becoming so hard because of the slowness of some tasks...
    I explain:
    1) At start up loading this latest project is slow
    2) Media asset pannel: thumbnails of footage is loading very slow when you go to another folder
    3) Pre-viewing of (a part of) the footage already added to the timeline (expertmode) is sluggy, but sometimes even when pre-rendering with the renderbutton is done (the render markers are correct placed) !
    Also a crash op PE sometimes happens (but not so frequent)
    Final rendering to a format (dvd, mp4 etc) works well but ofcourse it's difficult to make a good movie if pre-viewing of the timelinefootage is not working well ...
    So my question is if I replace my internal (ram) memory in my pc from 8 GB to 16 GB, would this fix all this 3 problems ?
    I have only 2 memory banks, now with 2x4 gb so I would have to buy 2x8 that's more than 100 euro (more than PE itselfs thus ...).
    My pc works well for a recent game like Far Cry 3 so I don't need the memory for other programs ... So I want to be shure if this will fix it.
    Finally, my config: PC has a small ssd with win 7 home premium and PE 11 dutch, all other data on traditional HD, separate ghraphics card:

    That's almost the same as right-click and runas admin, the only difference is that you don't have to right-click. The problem with this solution I mentioned above already:
    windows acts than like you are the admin and the admin documentsfolderlocations is the standard instead of yours folderlocations (so all your footage, pictures and all data you want to use in your project should be than in the admin documentsfolders instead of your own user folder ....
    Than it's better to change the useraccountpermission in admin, that's what I did now. So I'm working with an account with full adminrights now. That's not very safe but I want to give it a try for the time of the project-in-use . I've updated also the graphic and audio drivers.
    I've also disabled temporary AV.
    All this didn't change anything for loading the thumbnails when you open a project. It still takes minutes to load and the first time after startup opening a subfolder in the assetspanel also takes again minutes (only the first time after startup, if you later go back in that subfolder thumbnails are showed almost directly).
    Play-back of timeline seems almost ok now, but this was already yesterday the case (since the scratchlocations didn't change anymore)
    In the manual I read that it is advised to defrag the scratchlocations from time to time. But win vista/7/8 have auto defrag ... ?

  • Editing sliders very slow & jerky.......

    I finally received my replacement ADS Pyro, so now I can start recording video again. The problem is that when I go to edit in iMovie HD, the editing sliders won't keep up with my mouse, as well as being very jerky & slow (if I move the upper single slider, things go very smoothly). Is this a known issue with Leopard?? I never had anything even remotely like this happen with Tiger. I need to have smooth operation when I go to edit, as the slow, jerky motions are extremely annoying. My machine is definitely up to the task as far as power & RAM go. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I do know about the precision editing, but getting the sliders to the points that I want to edit was very slow & jerky (once the sliders were in the vicinity, the precision editing worked fine). I have changed some settings, as well as making some adjustments, & it seems to be working now. I will try it again on a couple of other projects just to be sure.

  • IMac is very slow and sluggish, keeps churning when editing files or on internet

    My iMac is running slow and sluggish, it takes several minutes to edit a word document or search the internet ... intermittently it runs great but productivity is near zero when to edit a sentence in a Word document takes several minutes.  When typing an email the cursor stops and if you keep typing it eventually fills in what was typed even though you can't see it when typing. Ran Etrecheck ... report is attached.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

    My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
    I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
    HELP PLEASE
    Very worried!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing  work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often

    My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing  work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
