Why does Bookmarks take several seconds to respond after I move a bookmark when Sync enabled, but not when Sync is disabled?

With FFox open and Sync enabled, moving a bookmark, either in the Bookmark sidebar or in 'Show All Bookmarks' window, to another location - for example: dragging a bookmark from "Unsorted" to another location in Bookmarks - causes a delay during which time the Bookmark list seems to freeze and bookmarks can't be moved, selected, etc. The delay lasts for several seconds, and is longer on slower/older machines. If I attempt to move a bookmark (or folder) during the delay, it will move in unexpected ways once Bookmarks unfreezes as locations within the Bookmark list have changed.
With Sync disabled, bookmarks can be moved/selected/etc. without any delay.
Systems Tested: [Note: All systems had the most current version of FFox available for them.]
MacBook Pro 26 (2014) w/OSX 10.9
IBM ThinkPad T41x (2010) w/XPpro
Macbook Pro 266 (2009) w/OSX 10.6
IBM ThinkPad T61x (2008) w/XPpro
Mac Mini (2008) w/OSX 10.6
Mac Mini (2007) w/OSX 10.5
Macbook Pro 233 (2007) w/Ubuntu v14
ASUS P1AH (2006) w/Ubuntu 12
My main computer is the Macbook Pro 266, and I noticed this behavior: FFox v36 bookmark delay with Sync enabled is about the same as v35, v35 was worse (longer delay) than v34, v34 was better (less delay) than v33, v33 was better than v32, V32 was much worse than v31, v31 was much worse (Sync unusueable) than v30, v30 was much worse (Sync unusueable) than v29, v29 delay made Sync unusueable.

Currently 664 [exported from FFox Bookmarks to URL Manager for the count] abut never more than 4000: beyond 4000 bookmarks and FFoxs' Bookmarks respond slowly even without Sync active. I currently have 5 computer with FFox set up to use Sync. While I don't expect FFox to manage a huge collection of URLs, I would be nice to be able to access a Bookmark collection of 6000 to 8000 without noticeable delay. It's a simple text file after all, and as I'm only effecting one URL, why so long to update?
fyi: URL Manager tells me that I've amassed about 300,000 bookmarks, some from the late 90's which I still use for research.

  • Why does it take 30 seconds to sleep after the 10.7.3 update?

    After applying the 10.7.3 combo update it now take 30 seconds between the time I select sleep from the menu (or press the power button) on my 2.66GHz Mac Pro. It used to be instant.

    Matthew,
    Again, this started when I installed the combo 10.7.3 update. Unlike you, my screen does dot go to black-except-cursor, but remains at the desktop (or whatever app I'm in), but simply takes 30 seconds exactly to sleep. I do have a Belkin UPS attached, and I'll try to unplug the USB cable and see what happens. Also remember that I've tested this in a new unsullied user, so it's probably not anything I'm running. Another possibility is that I have 2 RAID arrays connected via eSATA, but I had those before the update and they did not seem to affect sleep then. Could be that Apple changed the way they handle eSATA.
    I'm on a 2006 Mac Pro (details below).
    Would be nice if we could get some help from an Apple engineer on this issue (hint, hint...)

  • Why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?

    why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?
    Some time ago it took just a few seconds.

    I have the same problem.  It always takes about 30 seconds for my Mac Pro to fall asleep and it's driving me crazy.
    I've got a Mac Pro early 2009 4.1.  I've reinstalled the OS twice, disabled all startup items, uninstalled the Logitech Control Center, and unplugged all USBs.  Only running keyboard and apple Mighty Mouse on bluetooth.
    I've also disabled hibernate mode, and removed the sleep image from the boot disk.
    On a pmset log, every thirty seconds the "com.apple.diskmanagementd" program creates a "PreventIdleUserSleep", then thirty seconds later it creates a "ReleasedIdleUserSleep".  This repeats itself continuously while it's sleeping.
    I've tried killing the process in Activity Monitor and it just starts up again 30 seconds or so later. 
    What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?

  • Why does it take over two hours to download a movie on Apply tv

    Why does it take over two hours to download a  movie on Apple TV
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's likely network related, have you checked your internet download speed (speedtest.net) or tried anything to eliminate interference on you local network.

  • Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Hi first off if your running  fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
    as you now have a mix up between Qmasters  which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
    i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again  as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
    Here
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
    but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
    really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
    any way
    once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
    get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
    if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab  and setup up a quick cluster etc
    On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
    i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
    thanks

  • HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
    If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

  • HT1491 Why Does it Take Several Business Days to Post Transactions to my Account?

    Please repsond to the following email address:

    This is my main email address.
    I find my IPhone a little difficult to read/send emails.
    I find that iTunes takes several business days to Post transactions.
    The transaction shows Pending for 4+ days and on day 5, shows Posted.
    I have a debit card tied to my checking account at my bank.
    My bank has my funds tied-up for 5 days!
    You guys don't get the money and I do not have access to those funds in the mentime.
    Do you offer Apple Credit Cards?
    Or offer a way I can use PayPal to immediately transfer funds to iTunes?
    Thanks.

    The time is takes a carrier to approve unlocking is totally up to that carrier. Apple has no say in the matter. A carrier has zero incentive to unlock any phone, so it's not at all uncommon for them to drag their feet.

  • Mouse takes several minutes to respond after startup

    After starting up my Mac Pro, I notice slow start up, and that the mouse does note respond for several minutes. Any suggestions what may be wrong?

    Do you get the same reult if you boot into Safe Mode, by holding down the Shift key at Startup? (You will need to log in, eve if you usually autologin.)
    Safe Mode runs one pass of Repair Disk and then loads a min imal set of extensions.
    Working in Safe Mode, but not in regular mode, implicates the extensions you have added.

  • Why does it take so long to download an itunes movie rental

    I've got a great high speed internet connection (54 MBPS) and typical downloads of 4-5 GB take about 30 minutes. My Itunes movie rental is taking about 40 hours, and I'm only managing about 500 kB per second. What gives? Is this punishment for owning a PC?

    Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
    So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
    Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?

  • TS2621 why may I send email when wi-fi is enabled, but not when it is disabled?

    iphone 4s with verizon will send email via wi-fi but not 3G. Are there any ideas why?

    Depends on the email account.  If it is from your Internet provider they may only allow use of their SMTP server for sending emails when on their network.  To send emails when not on their network (i.e. when using Cellular data) it would require using a different SMTP server.

  • Why does it take several attempts for my WiFi/Airport to work on my MacBook Pro?

    When I open my computer, I usually pull up Firefox right away, and it works. But since I installed several software updates ("Airport Utility" Version 6.0, "Mac OS X Update Combined" Version 10.7.3, "Thunderbolt Firmware Update" Version 1.0, "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware" Version 2.3, and "MacBook Pro SMC Firmwar Update" Version 1.5), my internet takes forever to become active. Here's the thing, it SHOWS complete connectivity on the Airport, but the internet doesn't work. I have to open up Safari, go to Network Diagnostics (where it says "Your internet connection appears to be working correctly"), then re-select my Network on the Airport's drop-down menu, and re-fresh my internet page 7-8 times, and then the internet just works!
    It's not my ISP, because this has happened on 3 different networks (home, school, and at a friend's).
    Someone help me! What can I do to fix this? Do I need to un-install one of those updates?
    Thanks!

    Yikes! That's a bit scary! OK, I will give it a shot tonight.
    Is this a common problem, not having the iPod be recognized when connected? If so, if this the standard protocol for correcting it?
    Thanks for your patience and help

  • Why does it take several minutes for Firefox to copy anything?

    While trying to copy text, firefox takes some time to actually do the task and let me move on to doing something else. While doing this it stops everything running in firefox as if it was working hard to copy a bit of text. My PC works fine in other things, I can minimize FF and go about doing whatever else I want to do while FF is working on it.

  • Why does my iPad 3rd gen. stop responding after 5 minutes of use? The home button still works but the touchscreen doesn't react.

    This is getting incredibly annoying.  I've had this thing for 3 months and I can't use it for more than 5 mins at a time because the touchscreen stops responding!!! I tried restoring it to its factory defaults and it still keeps messing up.

    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.
