Why does it take longer to connect to my wifi network on Lion?

Since upgrading to Lion on my older MacBook Pro I've noticed that waking from sleep, it takes airport sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds to find my wifi network. This never was the case with Leopord or Snow Leopard. Is this a known issue in Lion upgrades or is something wrong in my Network settings?

Hard to say definitively - nowhere near enough information, I'm afraid. One thing that I'm wondering is exactly what sort of drives you've put in the new machine. For instance, if you've put hybrid drives in it, then yes the stuff that gets used frequently (OS) may well load fast - but everything else will take significantly longer. Especially this would apply to large audio files. The other thing is .pk files. If you've turned those off, then large sessions will inevitably take longer to load (with Audition 3, at any rate) than they would have done otherwise. This situation appears to be a lot better with CS6 and CC, FWIW. But they have been completely rewritten, and designed to run on newer OS's, which Audition 3 simply isn't. Yes it will work fine - just won't be as effective in operation as the later software.

Hi smilekick,
Are you using Windows or Mac? Are you on a managed network. If no Try signing out and signing in of CC desktop. If still the same issue remove CC desktop, run the cleaner tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and try installing again.
Create a new user account and check whether the same issue persists.

Why does it take longer to Save with Layers v. no Layers?

I've noticed that file save times go way up even with just 1 layer (plus Background) compared to saving with no layers. "Flat" PSDs save very fast, whether to my SSD boot drive, or to my spinny work drive.Is this normal? And can anyone tell me why?
My scratch disc is on my SSD boot drive. Windows 7 Ultimate fully updated. I have 30GB of RAM and my average file size (open) is around 400MB. I do have the compatibility turned on (otherwise Lightroom doesn't like it), and compression. I understand those will add more time. But why so much more than a "flat" PSD?

Thanks. I need to rephrase my subject line I guess...
Obviously, additional layers will take longer to save, because, like you said, each layers is like another image (sorta). HOWEVER, the save time seems to increase EXPONENTIALLY just by adding 1 layer.
Here's a specific example...
I'm working on a 7360 x 4912 image which Photoshop says is 206.9M. It takes less than 2 seconds to save the PSD.
I clicked Ctrl+J to copy the Background layer to a new layer. Now there's the Background layer, plus Layer 1, and now Photoshop tells me it's 206.9M/413.7M. Now it takes 34 seconds to save the PSD!
So it's not just double, it takes 17x longer!!! Why so much longer?

With track locking why does it take longer to --

1.) With track locking, why does it say so much longer to "Save As" and to create bakcup copies of songs?
2.) If after I lock tracks to improve performance can I unlock them for the purpose of faster "Save As" and copies?

I found from my experience that if one deletes the freeze files to save space but does not unlock the tracks GB will not search for the files upon opening but rather will recreate the locked tracks after you click "Play".
I just wanted to clarify that. I didn't want anyone to think GB will open a tune and then begin a search right away. It won't happen until you click play.
Heres my reasoning for leaving the tracks locked and deleting the freeze tracks and not unlocking them before hand.
If I leave the tracks locked and then delete the files I don't have to remember later which tracks I wanted locked and which ones I did not want locked. All I need to do is open the file and click play. Its actually more convenient. If you unlock the tracks first then delete the files you have to go back later and relock the ones you wanted. TO me thats a much easier way to remember things.
I agree with you whole heartily when it comes to "Save As Archive". Its the only way to save.
"Save" And "Save As" only creates a pointer to your files in and from the "Project Data" file. They do not add AIFF files taken from GB browser to the "Media" folder. Only a recorded instrument (vocal or instrument) or a file dropped into time line are saved in the media folder using "Save" or "Save As". Or in other words anything from "Outside" the GB browser.
MIDI instruments recorded into GB are not kept in the Media folder after a "Save" or Save As" or unfortunately "Save As Archive".
"Save as Archive" saves all the files you currently have in the GB timeline (except MIDI data) in the Media Folder. A nice, safe, sure way to know all your intended files will be there when you open your tune or burn it to a disc and return it in the future. This is why I always use it. It does of course make you .band file much larger.
Recently I have tested the .band files for operator usefulness and error to try to alleviate the somewhat unfounded fears placed upon opening the file with the "Show Package Contents" function.
Sure thing can go wrong if your careless when you open the .band file but its not as is clicking any of the audio file will hurt anything.
You can play many of these files saved under "Save as Archive" with the finder.
I have found that if you ACCIDENTLY toss out any AIFF files that were taken from the GB browser and placed into the timeline that this will not hinder your .band file from opening. GB will still open and play your file as it normally would and when you "Save As Archive " again those browser files will be replaced in the media folder. Even if you have looped them, cut them, shortened them.
If you ACCIDENTLY toss out a file added to the timeline or a recorded instrument or vocal then your in trouble because it is gone but the GB file will still open. GB will tell you it can't find the file and ask if you want to search for it.
Now if you Toss out your "Project FIle" then your screwed. The .band file will not open and the game is over.
Why do I even mention all this? Not to annoy anyone or go to battle over the subject but simply to mention that I have tested every scenario and that opening the .band file and clicking around will not harm a thing. Clicking around will not harm anything or damage your file. Just leave the "Project Data" file alone.

Why does it take longer to download app on my MBA core i7 than it does my iPhone 3gs?

The app is over 700 Mbs but still. It takes about 20 to download a Cd from itunes too. Not happy!!!

This solution worked wonders for me. Maybe it wil work for you as well. Good luck!
Go to the network (System Preferences -> Network) and add a new network. Give it a name, then leave everything else standard. Click the APPLY button, quit the application and reboot your MBA.
That's it.
I have no idea why this works. It may be that the default network location is broken, but building a new one fixes it. Let me know if it works.

TS4036 I have an Iphone 4S. I used to backup automatically to the cloud. Since I did the software update I not longer can connect to any WIFI network! I getthe message that it could not scan for wireless networks

since I updated my software to the IOS 7.0.4
I am unable to use any WIFI network
i cannot connect to my home wifi network I am unable to do any backups. I have backed up my phone onto my Itunes account on my computer and I reset my phone...this did nothing but lose some of my pictures.. PLEASE HELP!

I read the article thanks. I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy. I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work. More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected. Dang. Had to select the connection and use my password yet again.
Another valuable bit of info for you. The only network with which I have this problem is my home. I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem. Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever. It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house.

TS1398 Why is it that my iPod 'connects' to a wifi network but doesn't log an IP address and can't use the internet?

My iPod has no trouble connecting to my wifi connection, but never stops loading. The wifi bars appear at the top of the iPod, but when you get further details on the wifi network, no IP address is logged; neither is the router number or the DNS number. My iPod registers that a wifi connection exists, but it can't hook up to it to use the internet. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Why does addressbooksync takes long and using really a lot of ram!?

When I sync the iPhone with iTunes and look at my activity monitor, it shows that it takes more and more ram to do this. After 5 minutes while sysncing the addressbook only, the amount of ram used is already 6.70 gb! Here a screenshot:
Why is this? It completely slows down my system.

It's not a memory leak, see the references to learn more about how RAM is utilized to speed up the Mac.

Why does display take longer to sleep in Yosemite?

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. In Mac OS X Mavericks, whenever I slept the display, it turned off instantly. Now it dims slowly.
Is this normal. That's a shame if it is. I preferred how the screen went black instantly in Mavericks to how it fades to black now.
Why was that changed?
Also, sometimes when I try to reawaken the screen, I get nothing but a black screen and the pointer on it. I sometimes have to restart the computer.
Running Yosemite on an iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 32 GB of RAM with 200GB of hard drive space still available.

Thank you for replying Deyadissa. But is it normal for the display to slowly dim when you select "sleep" monitor?
Before Yosemite it turned off instantly when I put it to sleep?Now it feels slow in that respect.
I mean why a slow dim when before it shut off instantly?

Why does iMessage take longer to send messages for certain conversations?

iMessage can take around 15-20 minutes to send messages to certain conversations, but is extremely fast for others (I've noticed that it's generally faster for relatively newer conversations) off of my phone (iPhone 4S running iOS 8). iMessages for the same conversations send infinitely faster off of my macbook pro.
It shouldn't be a wifi/data/network issue because messages sent for different conversations off of the same network take different times to send.

I would delete the contact and then have the other person(s) send you a Mesage and then readd them as a contact.

On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.
