Why is the library so slow to upload to iCloud?

Hi there,
After a bit of hassle getting Photos to accept all my pictures from iPhoto I thought it was all fixed and ready to go to cloud storage so that I can have the same library on iMac, Macbook Pro and my iPhone.
My photo library isn't that big, about 40Gb (4607 items) but it seems to be taking forever to upload to iCloud.
My broadband speed isn't great (Around 6.5 MBPS download and around 0.7MBPS upload) but after several days my Photo library states that it is uploading 4570 items. When i try to run photos from my macbook there are only a few photos on there.
At this rate I'll probably die of old age before all the photos are in the cloud and bounced back onto my macbook & phone.
Other than slow broadband speed and apple being busy with people like me uploading, are there any other reasons why this is taking so much time? Bad settings anywhere?
As another example my iMac has been on for a couple of hours today and the Activity monitor states that 887.2MB has been sent to the cloud. That's pretty damm slow isn't it?
Thanks

Stu,
Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
thanks,

Why is the system so slow in uploading my music to the iCloud...I had 70? songs of 5308 available...now after 2 days it has upload 203 of 4444 songs? ***?

I had 70 songs of my 5308 available when I joined iSlowCloud...now after 2 days it has upload 203 of 4444 songs? ***? It shuts down...it is like going back to dial up. I use at&t DSL as my internet provider. At this rate it will take about 3 weeks if the system stays up. Oh...and when it shuts down or stops...it has to start much of the uploading process of matching again before it starts uploading again. Not sure it is even worth it...honestly? Help?

I wish I could install Mac OS X 10.6.8 but since my computer...(a workhorse mind you) is a G5 dual 2Ghz processor, but NON-INTEL it will not run a version higher than OS X 10.5.8. At the Guiness dek in SF with another problem I was told my G5 computer will outlast the dual intel because they run hot. I wish they would make the higher versions PPC friendly there are many of us still out here ;( I'm suppost to have the faster at&t DSL but it hard to tell...at&t has been jerking with their system trying to get the city to allow them to put in huge boxes all over the city to supply TV. I haven't tried reinstalling iTunes...I will try that...thanks!

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

Hey there Sparkly3gs,
It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why is the WIFI so slow on my 2011 MBP? its getting frustrating

Hi Jeff,
Can you elaborate on your issue a bit further. What is "slow" in your approximation? Tell us about the environment you're in, what type of router, band and channel. How many other wireless routers does your machine pick up? Is it slow other places with wireless or just this current location? New issue, ongoing?

Using Windows 7 and LR 5, when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

Dan,
Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding". There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics. There is no overlap between the two sets of pics.
I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn". I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
gwenn
schwartz
{gwenn}
From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand.
It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family. A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc. Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe". Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

Why is the iPages 5.0 (not beta on iCloud) getting such bad reviews? I was interested in trying it.

Why is the iPages 5.0 (not beta on iCloud) currently getting such bad reviews? I was interested in trying it on a MacBook Air or Pro.

We would be grateful if you could point out any errors in the list, but we do check.
The list does not claim features moved to the System are "missing". There are separate lists of added and changed features.
There are many people who claim to know what they are talking about but on closer examination it becomes clear they really do not know much about iWork, nor about the features they claim to have "found" in Pages 5.
I would be hesitant to claim that you were part of the beta testing of Pages 5 for 2 reasons.
1. Apple does ask you to sign a non-disclosure agreement
2. You then are part of the problem
Maybe, now you have disclosed that you were testing, you can explain how on Earth something so bad was released on an unsuspecting public, with no warning of what Apple had done and that it would alter/damage users' work.

Why is the Library 1 file?

I recently converted to Mac and imported my photo library into iPhoto. What I don't understand is why it seemed to turn the entire Library into one massive file over 26 gigs large. It seems to totally defeat the ability to do a Cover Flow or preview in the Leopard finder and makes it harder to do things like edit some of the pictures in a different app like Photoshop or drag them into an email, etc. Seems completely anti-intuitive to abandon the folder and file structure of what was previously 14,000 separate photos (all our family pics going back to 1999).
Why did they do it that way and is there a work-around, short of having a redundant copy of all 26 gigs of content that is not manupulated by iPhoto?

Citivas:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why is the IDE so slow?

Why is the Cocoa Integrated Development Environment so slow for the iPhone?
Is there anything I can do to speed it up?
For example, when a break point is reached it frequently takes many seconds before moving the cursor over a variable will cause a popup window to occur. Under the BlackBox/Component Pascal IDE the code runs just as fast whether there is a breakpoint (HALT) or not. Breaking happens instantaneously and one can example all the variables relevant at that point without any delay.
I can edit compile and run applications within about 3 seconds (for a minor change) in BlackBox whereas with the iPhone I can get a can of soft drink from the refrigerator and drink half of it before the application commences running. N.B. I use the same machine (MacBook 2GHZ) for both development environments, one runs on the Apple side the other on the MS Windows side (Parallels Desktop).
Is the slowness due to "a whole lot of messaging going on" or what? It really slows down what I can accomplish in a day. Rather than trying 10 or 20 things I can only try 2 or 3. Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
I believe that a lot of the CPU time is going to 'aids' such as syntax coloring, parenthesis matching, and a host of other behind the scene stuff that I really don't want or need.
-Doug Danforth

ProjectBuilder/XCode has never been able to keep up with my typing speed no matter how much processor I throw at it; something CodeWarrior was able to do (with infinitely better syntax highlighting and code browsing) on a 100MHz Performa. It's just a nightmare project full of NeXT era cruft nobody's taken the time to clean up since it's free.

Why does the library image look much better than develop image?

I'm noticing a huge difference in IQ even after post processing between the library image and the develop image within Lightroom 2.1 itself. Any reason why? Thanks.

In what way? The Library image is just a rendering of the Develop image. In Develop, the sharpening and noise reduction are only applied at the 1:1 view to speed it up and to not lie to you (which it would if shown at lower magnification).

Why is my MacBook really slow since uploading Yosemite

Why is my MacBook really slow since installing Yosemite?

If you have less than 4 GB of memory (not 8 GB) as shown in the About This Mac window, Yosemite won't perform well. Otherwise, see below.
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

Why is the library in a browser empty?

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/getting-started-with-the-brows er-library-api.html
I have downloaded the sample files, but the sample library is empty.
When changing the id to our app's id, the library is still empty. Is this service still not live?

"The rationale behind hiding the Library folder is that most users never need to look in it anyways."
Unless of course your want to simply add or remove a font withoout using Font Book. I am not sure if I agree with this rationale. Not all users need NetNanny.

Why does the library module looks so different from develop

Ok, so the library module on my lightroom 4.4 does not match my develop module. Especially in the noise reduction department. It's like I haven't even made any changes and yes I zoomed to 1: 1 to check the differences between the two and they are still there.
Also when I export it looks like the library module's version of the photograph, washed out and filled with noise.
Is this a glitch? What the heck is going on? This just started doing this to me today.

Please let me know how to adjust the master volume. I am having the same problem with my Garageband '09 (version 5.1) and the sound fades out after about 18 seconds when creating a ringtone. Also, when I move the yellow bar anywhere but the beginning, the music plays but no sound at all.
Please help!
Thank you!

I find this very strange and annoying. Is there any way to unhide it? Or can someone please explain the rational behind this change?
