Why does Lightroom not update all my previews after a batch change?

Hi!
I imported more 2,000 pictures. Then I did one batch change (adjusting the curve (tonality) by Lightroom).
But it looks like, only on the page, I actually see, the previews are updated.
If go to the next page of 24 pictures. At first I see the old preview. Then the CPU and hard drive activity is increasing and picture by picture the preview is updated. So I've to wait 15 seconds, until I can decide, if the settings of the pictures are a good start or not. And then I've to page again and wait 15 seconds
I expect, that Lightroom does it:
in background
in parallel and not only one picture by picture (15 seconds are cause by sequencially processing; I've an Intel i7 with 4 cores and 3.6 GHz, it's not the slowest machine, but Lightroom only use up to 25% of my whole CPU resources :-( )
Sorry, but I do not understand, how I should be able to handle a mass of pictures, if I have to page and wait always.
Is there any magic shurtcut, command, setting, to enforce such an auto update?
Thanks a lot!

Dunno whether this would offer sufficient improvement or not:
It doesn't automate preview generation, but does give a button (2 actually) for quick-building of previews.
OttoMate
PS - Adobe did provide a function in Lr5.2 SDK for building previews, unfortunately the fine print taketh away too much of what the big print giveth (e.g. doesn't work in develop module), so not viable for auto-preview generation, yet.

  • Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

    Hi peeps.
    why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder,  select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files??? 
    all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto??  conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here?  Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.  So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
      help please.

    We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
    Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
    If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
    The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
    means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
    You could just move the whole Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Why does firefo not remove all files when uninstalled

    When I install all versions of Firefox prior to my current version 13 it does not uninstall all files. Why is this allowed? Why are all files not uninstalled when firefox is removed

    Hello Mace
    when drag the Firefox application to the "Trash" to uninstall Firefox, does not remove your user profile, which includes personal information such as bookmarks, passwords and cookies, to do that see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer#w_removing-user-data-and-settings Removing user data and settings]
    is in here ~Library/Application Support/Firefox
    also : Firefox also has a .plist file at ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist to remove too
    thank you

  • Aperture does not update a photo preview after editing in external editor

    I have noticed this problem after installing the last Aperture (3.2.3) update. It appears to be common to my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro. The updated preview is visible only in "viewer" mode (menu / view / viewer). It's interesting, that updated preview appears in "viewer" mode on both displays (I use two monitors). And when I switch into "split view" the preview switch also and is not updated.
    After relaunching Aperture previews are updated.
    The thumbnail looks to be good (updated). This problem makes my work really uncomfortable.

    This seems to be a bug, and has been discussed in several threads. See this workaround suggested by shuttersp33d: This helped me Re: saving from photoshop

  • Why does it not show all the pictures when i open myspace

    Hello,

    Hello deniz aya,
    Welcome to Apple discussions..
    No, you do not need additional software to view the pic, myspace is just not very mac friendly, as they say ( long time coming) they are working on it.
    Myspace pages can be a nightmare, a couple of my friends pages for instance
    have been known to crash my Safari beta & when on version S 2.
    Try using Firefox as well, the "other" browser they recommend other then Safari
    for Mac users, albeit they do not say which version of Safari to use.
    Check pages including the one you have an issue viewing the pics on with the http://validator.w3.org/ to get an idea of how poorly coded they are.
    Eme '~[ ) 
    I just checked my page which has not half the items that other pages use & it Failed validation, 91 Errors, one of my friends pages failed with 490 odd........
    Of course I presume you have flash, as mentioned by QuickTimeKirk.
    To check, in Safari under the Help menu, click on -> Installed plug-ins.
    and check for Flash player.
    Under Safari menu, Safari's preferences, Security tab- Web Content: you have Enable Plug-ins checked correct?

  • Why does Apple TV lose all favorite podcasts after update?

    This has happened to me several times. After a software update, all favorites in podcast are lost, as well as the setting for home sharing. Have others experienced this?

    Unfortunately the last update required/forced a reset of the Apple TV, hopefully this is a one off event.

  • Why does pdf not have correct font?  Can this be changed to match what is on our Word Document?

    The pdf does not have the same font as my document.  We use Claredon Condensed Bold Italic and it changes it on the pdf?
    Also, is there an easy way to just pick a certain pages to pdf?

    Hi pkevdon,
    How well a file converts depends largely on the quality of the original file.
    Does it occur with all files or with specific one?
    Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment? 
    I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

  • HP Support Assisstant - why does it not recommend all driver updates for the model?

    I use HP Support Assisstant, and it is configured to update my machine weekly. I have had video problems and now have audio problems.  How come certain KEY drivers are not coming through on Support Assistant automatically?  What's the purpose of having a weekly update if it's not consistent and I have to do research on drivers anyway?

    OK, what operating system are you using?  When the printer reportedly goes offline, does it still have a valid IP address from the router (print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer - make sure the IP is not 169.254.x.x nor 0.0.0.0)?
    If it still has a valid IP, then the issue is not with the printer, but more likely the router or operating system.  If you are using Windows, download and run this utility: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-104282-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...

  • Why does Lightroom not have custom keyboard shortcuts?

    Lightroom is a workflow app. It's not just about raw conversion, which could be done in ACR, but about speeding up the whole process of selecting, editing and cataloging photos. 
    It seems to me that out of all Adobe apps, Lightroom is the one which should have customisable keyboard shortcuts.
    I've been using lightroom since shortly after it came put and I've been using the open-source plug-in keyboard customizer Paddy for several years which works okay at the moment. Each lightroom release breaks Paddy in some way and it's not as smooth as it could be if it was built in. Even so, I estimate I'm 2-10 time faster editing many photos with paddy than I would be without.
    I know that even adobe's resources are limited, but adding keyboard shortcuts should be easy, certainly compared to re-verse engineering RAW file formats or fixing complex lens distortions!
    At this point it seems clear that Adobe are choosing not to let us customise keyboard shortcuts. I'm not trying to change their mind, but I really want to know w
    It perplexes me, why don't Adobe add what seems liek a simple feature which could speed up Lightroom use by an order of magnitude???

    On Victoria Bampton's website she has a downloadable PDF file named "Adobe Lightroom 5 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts." (Windows, not sure about Mac). Its about 12 pages long. I assume that this is what you are looking for. www.lightroomqueen.com.

  • Why does Firefox not update automatically nor allow me to manually update?

    I'm running version 3.0.5, but didn't notice it wasn't updating until websites started complaining recently. When I try to upload manually from the website, the program downloads but will not copy into my applications folder. It says there is already an existing file, but when I click "Replace", it says I "do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    I've looked in to ways that Firefox should automatically update. Mine does not offer to update from the "About Firefox" screen. When I go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Update, under "Automatically check for updates to:" everything is checked, but the box for Firefox is grayed out so I can't touch it.
    I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because I'm afraid to lose all my saved passwords and bookmarks.

  • Why does Mail not update timely with Mavericks?  Why does the download to fix this issue (?) won't install?

    I installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro when it first came out.  Since then, my Mail program doesn't go out and get my new mail from gmail every minute like it's set to do. Sometimes new mail shows up on my smart phone as long as 10 minutes before it shows up on my Mac.  I saw there was a stand-alone download for Mail on Mavericks meant to fix some gmail-Mavericks-Mail problems.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6030
    However, this will not install on my Mac.   The error message says simply that "this volume does meet the requirements for this update."  Can't figure out why.  I have plenty of memory.

    Try adjusting the settings in Mail:
    Mail > Preferences > General > Check For Incoming Messages: Every Minute
    Also, you may be downloading an incompatible 10.9.1 update (one is for newest retina Macbook Pro's, the other for remaining Macs). Navigate to the Apple Logo > Software Update...
    If it shows no software update available when the App Store opens, you are already running 10.9.1 (which includes the mail update).

  • Why does Aperture not support all DNG files?

    I have a Leica D-LUX 2 and an Epson RD-1. Both of these cameras create RAW files which are not supported by Apple. Why should the files, when converted to DNG, still require RAW support to be utilized. I understand the wrapper concept, but is this not the idea of DNG. What about cameras that create a DNG file, rather than RAW (i.e. the new Leica M8).
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi Kenneth,
    You're missing the point Karl is making. RAW data is (in essence) proprietary to the camera. All DNG does is essentially encapsulate that proprietary data in a standard format. The data is still proprietary whether DNG or RAW.
    By proprietary I mean that the sensor array and sensitivity to light, tonal correction across the gamut all are understood by the camera manufacturer and held as parameters (data) in the RAW or DNG file. It requires specific knowledge to interpret this data into a renderable image. Until such time as camera manufacturers agree that 1 = 1 and 2 = 2, we are stuck with this issue (and ALL our concern of x years from now when nobody supports what is our latest and greatest camera). An API included in Aperture (actually OS X) would at least allow camera manufacturers to write their RAW conversion algorithms and take Apple out of the loop.... as well as take dependence on OS X releases out of the loop too!
    Hope this clarifies.
