Why are "contact shadow" builds so slow?

I like to use a "contact shadow" for some of my builds. Usually I have a single picture that has that shadow type applied and no other text/items or very few of them in the remainder of the slide. Problem is that the slide takes at least a second or two to build which can be very jarring in the flow of the talk.  If I remove the contact shadow (use none or a drop shadow) the slide builds immediately.
is this normal for keynote ?  (i am using 6.2).  Anything I missed/can do about this?

Sorry my session timed out, I was going to include the following:
Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2 
empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
3 
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
5
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
6 
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

  • Why are contacts not showing up after added

    why are contacts not showing up after added. Don't show up after they added when I want to select then for a new email

    I am replying to my post with the hopes that someone can please help me!
    I am adding new episodes, but they don't show up on the main page. The most recent one to show up is from 10/29/07. I added a new episode today, but it doesn't appear on the main page (before you subscribe). Is there a limit to the # of podcasts that can appear on the main page? Has anyone else had this problem? All the relevant info is above.
    Your help is much appreciated.

  • Why are contacts I add on my phone not being backed up/linked to iCloud?

    I need to delete a previous employer outlook email account from my phone but don't want to lose all of my contacts.  I see most of my contacts show they are linked to both that outlook account and to the icloud.  I am assuming if I delete the outlook account I will still have the contacts backed up to the icloud?  Can someone please confirm this?  Second question is that I see quite a few contacts do not show a link at all to either outlook or icloud.  Will I lose those contacts?  It appears those contacts were created directly on my phone itself, so why are those contacts not being backed up to the cloud?  Appreciate any help you can give me so I don't lose contacts and/or have to enter them all over again (I did have my IT department give me a backup of my contacts on excel so worse care I can re-enter all of them but obviously I don't want to have to do that).  Thanks! 

    Did she restore the iPhone 4 and set it up as new wtih her AppleID?
    Or did she simply turn it on with your Apple ID still on it and start deleting everything?
    You should have Settings > iCLoud account as your AppleID.
    She should have hers.

  • Why are contacts from my daughters phone showing up on my phone?

  • Why are contact and calendar entries painfully slow?

    About half the time when I try to enter a new calendar item or a new contact, the keystrike response is so slow it is impossib;e to complete the entry.  This is with an iphone 4s runing IOS 7.0

    You either sync your contacts & calendars over the air with iCloud or by USB with your computer...not both at the same time. Doing both will create duplicates.

  • Why are contacts added to address book multiple times?

    Contacts in my iphone are now found rewriting over & over many, many times; appearing in address book with repeated phone numbers (the same number) over and over. Why/how can I stop this?
    Thanks.

    Cannot determine how to check iTunes for syncing contacts. Can you explain?
    Sorry. Thanks in advance.

  • Why are SMB connections so much slower than AFP on my Mac Servers?

    I work in a school with a mix of Mac and PC clients and servers.  My Mac servers all serve out file sharing to both AFP and SMB.  When my Mac clients connect to the Mac servers via SMB, it takes several seconds, sometimes up to a minute before the login screen appears.  When I connect via AFP, the login window appears instantaneously.  I have also noticed that when the Macs connect to Windows servers, which are obviously SMB, the same long delay occurs.  It's manageable, but because it's so quick with AFP, I wonder why the delay? 
    My biggest concern is that Yosemite connects via SMB by default.  Right now everyone is running Mavericks, which will still assume you're asking it to connect via AFP when you don't specify the afp:// in the address.  My Yosemite beta machine does the opposite, it assumes SMB when the address doesn't specify.  When all my clients make the switch next year, I'm expecting much longer than usual connection times for my mac users who are not technically inclined and who are used to just typing a word or phrase in the "Connect to:" dialog box, rather than an actual address (such as afp://server, they would currently just type "server" and it fills in the rest for them).
    Thanks for any help with this.  I would love to find out how to speed up the SMB connections.

  • Why are contacts stopped backing up ?

    I backed-up my contact on my Iphone to both Gmail and Icloud. Contacts are already seen in Icloud and Gmail. Now, when I open contact on the phone, there is an Icon "Group" in the top left corner. And when I open this Icon, this shows that my contacts are backed up in both Gmail and Icloud. Then I can choose contacts in which back-up are displayed in contact list. I also set the back up to icloud automatically.
    However, my problem is when I create a new contact, it could not be backed-up to both Gmail and Icloud. I also realize that the pattern of the backed up contacts and the new added contact is something different. If I open one backed - up contact from the contact list, it show linked contact in in 2 bottom line as follows:
      Linked contacts:
    - Icloud: xxx (name of contact)
    - CardDAV: yyy (name of contact)
    But in the case of new added contact, linked contacts are not shown as above.
    My question is: why is new added contact not backed up ? Pls help

    Since a few days I have exactly the same problem.
    "Time Machine stopped backing up the application, library, private and system folders and only back up the users folder."
    I did all the checks without success. Thereafter I deleted the backup disk and started a new copy on a new formatted disk.
    Same result.

  • Why are Contact Forms being pounded with SPAM?

    Is anyone else experience an unusually high volume of SPAM in thier contact forms?
    I have two clients getting pounded with SPAM. 
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The spam stopped once we applied the filters for the Comments and the Akismet is sitting there in the system now so they just need to fully role out the control into forms which will do a lot.
    The Amazing thing with that which I need to check with the engineers that I thought is that BC is run by BC, so if they are using Akismet I want to check to see if they are pooling all the spam filters applied on all BC sites into one central database that ALL sites have access too. If they are doing this - SWEET, if not I am going to suggest they do.
    THat would mean if your being spammed what you block will mean sites I build will not get those same spam and so on.
    Making the captcha more secure agaisnt OCR will make them harder to use so there is negatives you got to weigh up.

  • Why are My iTunes Downloads so Slow?

    I have a 30 Mbps internet connection.  When I run a speed test against my connection I almost always hit 30 Mbps.  However, when I download podcasts and other files from iTunes my download speeds max out at just over 7 Mbps.  I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and everything checked out fine.  Any ideas on why I getting such a slow download speed?

    Same experience here with anything being downloaded from Apple! For at least the last 5-6 months we have gone from very fast down loads from Apple Software Update Servers which were humming at around a Megabyte to 1.5 MB a second for the better part of the last DECADE! Which was fantastic and essential for upgrading dozens of computers on the many networks we manage. Now every single network for the last 5-6 months is only getting fractions of theses throughputs. Down to 30-80 KBs (Per Machine) which is a nightmare. It makes no difference geographically in Sydney  or which Service provider. We have called the service providers and they have tested the pipe to Apples servers and they get the same results. We were comfortably getting 1GB downloads with in 20-40 minutes per machine with up to 5 or six machines on an ADSL 2+ connection at a time... easily, now its taking 3-4 hours to get a gigabyte per machine with only 2 or 3 computers at a time.
    Its a nightmare and yes we use an in-house OSX Servers SUS and down load the big updates and distribute them internally but there are now so many different updates required for different machines its difficult to do this and we just upgraded 2 computers to Lion and they wanted to down load over 2.5GB in updates each with out the system software updates which we had previously downloaded. SUS on each computer was indicating just under 24 hours to down load 2.5 GB from Apple. We were able to down load this with in an hour previously.
    Its become a nightmare harking back to the performance we were getting from the internet in the Nineties. It is suspected that since Apple removed their mirrors from around the world we all have to go to the States to get our Software, iOs and iTunes updates and Apples growth is impacting on their ability so serve up the bandwidth with everybody downloading ridiculously large 3.5 GB Lion installers.
    Interestingly Microsoft servers are dishing up the same poor bandwidth performance as Apple yet Google is the same its always been at around 800-1MB a second and many other big companies blow the Apple servers out of the water on the same networks.
    Something has to be done about this as our clients are beginning to complain seriously about it as its costing significantly more to run an Apple Network.
    And no one from Apple wants to talk about it. And this post will most likely self destruct once Apple reads it!

  • Why are my gifs saving so slow?

    I'm using Photoshop CS6
    I use the timeline to make my frames and adjust the delay number at the bottom of each thumbnail, ive tried (No Delay, 0.01, 0.1, 02) but once I save they slow down.
    When I press play from the timeline it plays fast and smooth...
    When I click "Save For Web" and press play on the bottom right it plays the same (Although for some reason when the delay is set to No Delay or 0, it plays SUPER fast)
    When I click "Preview..." on the bottom right and it opens up in IE it plays very slow even though its delay is set to 0 or the others i've listed above..
    When I save and open it plays just like when I click preview, slow and delayed. I've tried openning with IE, Firefox, and Chrome and same result.
    Is this a fault in Photoshop or am I doing something wrong?
    I even tried saving the frames from my animation and using the Online Generator from http://imgflip.com/gifgenerator ... and the image can play REALLY fast setting the delay all the way down, heck, I had to set it to around "277 delay" for it to play the way Photoshop saves it thats how slow Photoshop is saving my gifs.
    So I know its not a case of the gif having too many frames, or the file being too big.. (Which I dont really see how thats relevant anyways since it should only decrease the image quality not the animation speed)
    So... does anybody have any ideas?
    EDIT: I read somewhere that its because I dont have Quicktime, is this true? I don't want to DL Quicktime if not because I dont need it.

    I knew thats what the response was going to be...
    I said in my original post that I used another gif maker to upload the same frames I'm using and the image it generates is able to play a lot faster than when I try with Photoshop so it's not an issue about different browsers.
    I dont see what posting my settings will do since the site that generated the gif that plays faster is the same file size as the one saved by Photoshop... and as far as I know the only setting relevant to the animation speed is the Delay which I have set to 0, 0.1, and 0.1 which are the fastest speeds yet photoshop saves them more delayed than its suppoed to.

  • Why are contacts that I create on my MacBook not syncing in iCloud  on iphone 4S?

    Contacts that I create in "Contacts" on my MacBook Pro Retina are not syncing up through iCloud on my iPhone 4s.  My MacBook is running OSX 10.8 and iPhone is running  5.1.1
    Before you say the obvious.......YES, I checked the new contact to be grouped in iCloud not "On my Mac".  This is very frustrating.
    Thanks!

  • Why are my video podcasts playing slow?

    After installing the latest update in iTunes for windows, my video podcasts are playing in slow motion, but the audio is normal. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, shutting down, restarting.....nothing works. Has anyone experienced this before?

    If the Flash Player app is not in the Internet Plug-ins folder, download and install from here.
    When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.

  • Why are my clips shaking after slow motion?

    I captured clips from my Canon 7d and converted the clip through mpeg stream clip, pro res, 60 frames, full HD. When I imported it into FCP and set the speed to 50% (or any speed, except normal) the top of the clip shakes the entire time, before I made the clip in slow motion there was no shake.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Did you shoot 720p 60? That is the only format that shoots 60fps.
    Conform with CINEMA TOOLS. doing a speed change in FCP doesn't do it right.
