Why is icloud slow

Why is icloud so slow on my pc? How can I fix this?

I posted the first question of this discussion thread. "Why is iCloud so slow?" While it is still an issue, I have found that it has improved somewhat. As before, when you try to reply, forward, or create an email it takes forever for the new pane to come up! But I have discovered that while it is searching (the agonizingly long wait, staring at the little hypnotic circle going round and round), if I click on the address bar, it pops right up. This has helped tremendously. I might not dump iCloud after all.
Now, if I could just get my curser to stop jumping around while I type emails in iCloud, I would be grateful.

Why is iCloud so sluggish lately?

Was just trying to send an email from icloud.com on my iMac and one of my two small mp3 attachments took forever to attach and load. Then, when they were finally loaded, I hit "send" and I got a prompt stating that the email could not be sent and that I had to delete the attachments and try again. This has happened several times and I am still unable to send the email.
On the iPad end, sometimes when I go to the native iOS mail app, I receive a prompt saying "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect." However, my password is indeed correct. I have even gone to settings and reentered it, received all the checkmarks, gone to the mail app imediately thereafter, and STILL received this prompt.
Why so many iCloud issues lately?

Why is iCloud so so slow

icloud is slow on my macbook & macpro its just so so so slow & will soon give it up help

I too have noticed that iCloud is much slower than other mail providers (gmail, yahoo, hotmail). I very much like the Apple ecosystem and am very hopeful about the future integration of products from Apple. Perhaps it is nieve, but I just like integration that Apple has provided in its ecosystem.
It just takes much longer to do things in iCloud as opposed to the other service providers. I had planned on moving the bulk of my mail from yahoo over to iCloud, but I am holding off on doing that for now. I really like the iCloud interface much better than yahoo's and again would like to just simplify things by staying in the Apple ecosystem. However I question how much benefit I really will have by using iCloud over other providers. Hotmail has just offered a premium service without ads that is much faster than iCloud and has a similar layout.
So for now I plan to just keep things as they are. I do plan to move away from yahoo, but I dont want to move multiple times. If iCloud does not improve, I will unfortunatley look elsewhere (gmail or hotmail).

Why does Photoshop keep slowing down?

I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 for two years now, and for some reason it seems to have the problem of slowing down after using it for a while, so if I'm working on a project I have to keep closing it and reopening it to get it fast again. It's weird because it doesn't seem to matter how much stuff is on the canvas, it's just how much I've drawn and hit undo and erased or did anything, After like 5 minutes of straight work it just gets too slow for me to work in, like when I switch tools or change the color it takes a couple seconds to respond. So literally every couple minutes I have to restart Photoshop and open the same file.
What's really odd is that sometimes Photoshop will work perfectly fine and stay lightning fast for hours. Like, for the last couple of months it's been 100% fine, but since a few days ago it started to have this "slowing down" issue again. Every couple months it seems to decide to be perfectly fine or just really annoying. I didn't change anything in my computer.
It can't be my computers specs or my settings in Photoshop, but I will tell you all of that anyway.
OS - Windows 7 64-bit
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz

There is no malware scanner running, in fact I have tried closing out all other applications and unnecessary processes to help improve performance. No luck.
Also, my post actually wasn't quite finished, but my internet shut off on me last night and I guess that just automatically posted whatever I had done before then. What's even better is that the forums won't allow me to edit it. What great features!
Anyway, here's the FULL spec sheet of my computer...
OS - Windows 7 64-bit
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
Storage - 1x 128GB SSD (OS installed on), 1x 750GB HDD, 1x 160GB HDD
I have the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended, installed on the SSD. Here's the settings I have in the preferences:
Memory Usage - 100%
Scratch Disks - All 3, SSD 1st, 750GB HDD 2nd, 160GB HDD 3rd
History States - 100
Cache Levels - 8
Cache Tile Size - 1028K
I have fiddled with these settings and restarted Photoshop countless times. In the end it's the same exact result: Photoshop slows down after a few minutes of work and I have to restart it. I have about 50GB free on the SSD, 150GB free on the 750GB, and about 140GB free on the 160GB.
I don't understand why it gets so slow even when my RAM usage only makes it up to about 45%. Why doesn't it just utilize ALL of the memory like I told it to?
I've tried setting cache to 1, 2, and 4, same result. Cache tile size to all the different settings, same result. History states to an extremely low level like 10, same result. I just don't understand why Photoshop is doing this, especially because it decides to speed up on its own every couple of months...

Why is Start up slow on MacBook Pro after Lion installation?

I've noticed that it takes a while for my MacBook to turn on and start-up since I installed Lion. Any ideas why or how to correct? Thanks!!

Your machine is likely too dated to run 10.8 adequately.
Apple makes it easy, doesn't mean it's right match for your hardware.

Why is icloud not listed in my updated macbook pro's systems preferences, there is mobileme instead?

I use a Samsung Android, two mac book pros, a large desktop mac, a Kindle Fire, and recently bought a preowned iphone 5; want to synch it with my mac book pro. I have an icloud email but nothing from my macbook is connected with it except maybe itunes. icloud is not the way I sign on when pening my personal macbook. But the only id I could use to get into the iphone was my icloud id. I want to get "Everything" together but when attempting to set up icloud in my personal macbk at system pref.s there is no icloud listed only the ancient "Mobilme" . I have done all the updates, why is icloud not in there and what can I do to set it up?

If you are seeing mobile me, then you are running 10.6.8 or earlier. iCloud came out in 10.7. So your device "may" be updated as far as it can, but it is not far enough to use iCloud. You can try to upgrade to 10.10 (which is free), or if your system is not capable, you may have to pay for lion or mountain lion.
HTH.

Why my icloud mail fails to deliver

Why my icloud outgoing mail returns as failed to deliver? This is the message: Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed

Hello, Oscar.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is the best troubleshooting resource to go through when experiencing issues with iCloud mail.
If you experience issues sending or receiving mail on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Check the System Status page to find out whether any known issues are affecting iCloud Mail.
Make sure that you're connected to the Internet: try opening a webpage such as apple.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Go to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC to verify that you can receive email for your iCloud account.
Make sure that Mail is turned on in Settings > iCloud.
Make sure that Push is turned on for your device in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. Then send an email to your account to verify that Push is working correctly.
Make sure that Push is turned on for your iCloud account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. If you are using iOS 6, tap Advanced. Then Tap your iCloud account and make sure that Push is turned on. If you have multiple iCloud Mail accounts set up on your device, Push can be used only with one account at a time. Make sure that Push is turned on for your primary iCloud Mail account.
Turn your device off and back on.
If the issue persists, turn off each of the settings in steps 4, 5, and 6 above, then turn them back on. If that does not help, follow these instructions to delete the iCloud account from your device, then add the account back:
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
Tap your iCloud account.
Tap Delete Account. If you store Contacts, Calendar, or Bookmarks data in iCloud, you will be given the option to keep that data.
On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account, then tap iCloud to begin setting up your iCloud account again. If data from your device is stored in iCloud, you will be given the option to merge that data with the data on your device.

Why, with iCloud, do we continue receiving the same email on multiple computers?

Why, with iCloud, do we continue receiving the same email on multiple computers? Is there a way of stopping this?

If those multiple computers are all setup to use the same iCloud account, then it is working exactly as intended. That's what iCloud does. Keeps your email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, tasks etc. in sync across all devices/computers that the same iCloud account is setup on.
If you want independent email on each device/computer, you need to setup independent email accounts for each device/computer.

Why Portal will be slow when we work on Theme Editor

Hi Experts,
Why Portal will be slow when we work on Theme Editor in Creating new Theme or modifying existing one.
Note: Since i have done Branding for 6 to 7 Clients i fell same , portal runs very slow.
Thanks
Vijai

Hi,
use the Eclipse Theme Editor. No need to be logged on in the portal, hence: faster. You'll only have to upload the theme afterwards to the portal.
