Youtube loading times are crawling

Hello, ever since I purchased my 13" aluminium Macbook Pro I have encountered extremely long YouTube load times. No matter what the quality of the video is, it usually a few minutes to buffer. This does not seem to be an ISP problem due to the fact that I have Verizon Fios. Anybody out there that has been having the same issue or knows of a solution to it.
Thank you, Sincerely Logically Undeniable.

Adobe Flash player is 3rd party software. YouTube is a flash/FLV site which Quicktime does not support. With the help of Adobe Flash player and Perian, you should have no problems playing YouTube videos.

ICloud load times are extremely slow

Since moving to iCloud my web interface is nearly unusable with iCloud. I also had slow load times with MobileMe to the point I was nearly going to quit using it.
On the iCloud system at times I'll load up the page and the mail will just fail to load. Other times I'll try to search for mail and it will hang up, I'll come back 10-15 minutes later and it will have either quit searching, or still have not found anything.
I'm using the most recent version of Firefox and Windows 7 64 bit.

I'm having the same issues, no matter if I use OS X or Windows to check my mail. Searching is virtually useless and keeps me hanging forever. I can't even search for items on my phone any longer - it NEVER seems to find anything that I'm looking for if it's not in my immediate Inbox.
C'mon Apple - this is something Google has been doing for years with Gmail. You've got to fix these nagging issues.

Project Manager - Loading Time

I think I mentioned the following issue before on the forum, but it's driving me nuts and I just want to know if can get some updates.
"Here is the deal"
1) You set up your scan path for the Project Manager and let it index all the relevant files
2) Project Manager writes the index data to the "~/Library/Preferences/Logic/PM Data/LogicProject7" file. The more files you index, the bigger the "LogicProject7" file.
3) Logic also writes an invisible file called "Logic 7 Database" to the root level of all network volumes it is indexing
3) When you start Project Manager, it seems to read those files and updates them when you work in Logic.
"Here is my problem"
I have a fairly big amount of data siting on an XserveRAID (Logic Songs, Loops, EXS, Audio files, ...). I don't know the exact size, because I exclude some of the nested directories and try to index only the relevant files. I guess the total is getting close to 1TB.
The Project Managers index file "LogicProject7" is now 127 MB and the launch time just for the Project Manager is 7 minutes . That makes it impossible to use the "start Project Manager at startup" feature. As we all know, Logic still crashes once in a while and adding the 7 minutes to the already long launch time (reading the EXS instruments), I would end up with close to 15 minutes launch time.
I don't understand where the bottleneck is. The progression bars of the Project Manager during startup (building tress, etc) are crawling like a snail despite a G5 dual 2.5GHz and a Gigabit connection to the Server that is connected with a dual Fibre Channel to the RAID.
The Activity Monitor shows Logic with a 30% CPU utilization and the network shows the activity with 60kB receiving and 30kB sending which is more or less constant during the startup process. Is the reason for that, because Logic is not optimized to use the full bandwidth and CPU power.
"Here is my question"
1) Does anybody have more insight into the Project Manager's functionality in regards to speed.
2) Can you post your reference: "LogicProject7" file size vs Project Manager startup time
Thanks

First of all - iSchwartz - you are not only okay, but also one of the most friendly and in depth advisers here on many subjects.
Now stop biting your nails - please! What are you gonna do with all that excess calcium?
You are indeed blissfully unaware of the benefits of this often overlooked PM thing (TG it's not a PMS thing...). If you are happy with EXS loading times, are never asked for multiple choices regarding the location of a sample, and your system runs stable, then don't change anything.
Es wird Dich nicht eines Tages in den A.... beissen!
Check your EXS loading times. Mine improved dramatically. Admittingly I have to confess, that my PM is overseeing, tracking and updating a little less then Edgar's, about 800 GB.
P.S.: Would you mind posting a picture of you in the newbie beanie?

Improving load times in Linux LabVIEW executable

I'm looking for (simple) ways to improve the loading times in a Linux LabVIEW executable. We're using a low performance, low cost CPU board, and loading times are terrible. The CPU is capable of doing everything after the application is loaded, but takes forever to get there.
One of the problems is the size of the executable, that grows everytime you just look at it. Are there ways to create smaller executables? It runs from a Compact Flash card, which is ofcourse much slower than hard disk.
Another problem is a dynamic vi, that is started for every TCP connection that connects to the application. It takes a long time to load, and connecting too fast can even effectively hang up the system. Starting a handler task takes about half a second, up to a few seconds for the first task.
We're using the LabVIEW 7.1 runtime, system is a 300 MHz cyrix SBC, running from a Compact Flash.

I'm
not sure about the first part of your question. LabVIEW is highly
binary and does a lot of memory allocations before even one VI is ready
to be started. So maybe the memory manager is a problem. Another issue
is that the Macintosh like resource file format that is used by LabVIEW to store its VIs etc. results in
lots and lots of individual disk accesses with a rther random like
character inside a single file. So if you can configure the read
caching of your disk to use more memory this may significantly increase
the speed of loading LabVIEW VIs or applications.
And finally spawning VIs through VI server is a rather costly operation
especially on low resoruce systems. A VI is more like an executable in
many ways as far as resource consumption is concerned rather than a
thread. A much better way would be to avoid spawning subVIs altogether
and implement a queued TCP/IP server similar to the Date Time Server
example. It is a little extra work to work with this shift register
architecture but it will not have the issues of long load times for
every new TCP/IP connection coming in.

Slow loading time on my Website

I just installed iWeb last night, and went about building a practice site. I'm finding that loading times are EXTREMELY slow.
http://www.brianutter.net
I've tried to reduce the size on some of my images by exporting from iPhoto and limiting pixel width, as you can see the site is still super slow. I'm wondering if other folks have experience this and have any helpful tips.
Thanks!

If you use command-shift-4, everything in that selected area gets lifted. In the case of the red image, you grab the image, it's reflection AND the white background that's showing through the reflection. If you convert this image to a .jpg and place it over a white background, there's effectively very little difference but you realize a great change in file size.
Change the color of the page's background, and you see the difference immediately. The reflection loses it effect. Instead of being reflected over black as it would be if it were a .png, it still carries the white reflection since that's the color you lifted from the screen capture. You'd have to take the original file, reflect it, and command-shift-4 to copy a new image with the correct colored background. It's not just a white box, it's whatever color box your current background is. This is an old web trick used for when you needed the high quality color of .jpg and the transparency of a .gif. You just created all your graphics as .jpg's such that they give the illusion of having degrees of transparency (like with iWeb's reflections and shadows). Here's an image that is an example of this.
http://images.apple.com/ilife/iweb/images/overview20060111.jpg
the page it's from
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/
Drop that image on any background other than white to see what I mean by "white boxes around images"
On your pages, you've composited the entire background as one big .jpg, so it doesn't apply. This one is particularly nice.

Make the .jpg match the page background, and it doesn't require a series of .png's!

My screen load times have slowed down to a crawl. I have to wait and wait for a page to load. (I know --dial -up) It used to be much faster a month ago before 5.0. Is it FireFox or do I look to Yahoo for the problem? I don't know how to sort it out.

I'm having the same problem. Dreamweaver is supper slow. Uploading and downloads from the server... any server I use two different servers. It times out all the time. Menus are slow too.
I'm on a MAC Pro, 6 gigs of ram no issues with anything else. I have talked to Apple they have checked everything for me. They say it's Dreamweaver. I've noticed the Dreamweaver is talking to the FTP even when I'm not doing anything.
I've tried cleaning out my MAC caches, turning off file check and check out. Still really slow. I've worked with Dreamweaver for 6 years never any issues like this before. 18 seconds to upload a 4 kb file. 11 seconds to download the same file.

OS5 killed my iPhone... The lag times are crazy. App loading, gameplay choppy. Anyone else?

This is crazy. At first the OS5 really impressed me. The upgrades were really neat. Now that I've had some time to play games and such, EVERYTHING is choppy! Have tried the muti-button reset... Same thing. The load times to do anything have been increased. Even as I am typing this message, there is a lag before what I've typed is shown... Not happy.

Same problem here, especially when using the web browser. I suspect it's Java realated. When I turn Java off, it seems to work fine but then the web capabilities that I need are not available. I hope apple has a solution. My iphone4 is now laggier and has made my phone frustrating.

Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube load as HTML, pictures are blurry

Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube load as HTML (I think is what it's called?). There are no pictures, just links with little boxes underneath them. My profile picture on Google is blurry. Overall, Firefox is running slow and awkward. I tried re-installing it, but that did not fix it. Firefox help site, and other random websites are working just fine.
Please halp! I really don't like using IE.

On YouTube load, site leaves and script appears with no way to use.

Version 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 on iMac with v 10.6.8 OS. Youtube site, on load, flashes, disappears and this message appears:
"A new version of the YouTube script for Windows Media Player is available.
Installing these updates is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Do you wish to update at this time? (Restart is NOT Required!)
If you don't update, this message will appear on each video"
If I click OK, the YouTube screen goes blank. If I click CANCEL, I get two pages of script, with no way to use the script
YouTube loads just fine in Safari!!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Can a BIG form be served up one page at a time to avoid long load time?

Tricks I have read for optimizing the load time of large forms are not helping. Linearization causes the first page to render quickly, but you can't interact with the fields until the whole form finishes loading -- no help there. Is there a way to break the form into pages (without creating entirely separate forms) so the user can fill out a page, hit a Next Page button, fill out that page, etc.? Understood that this is an old school idea, but until Reader can download a 1+ MB form in less time than it takes an average user to get ticked off, old school might do the trick.
Alternatively, is there a way to construct a form so you can start interacting with it without having to wait for it all to load? This question comes from the (uninformed) assumption that maybe there are forward references that can't be satisfied until all the bits have come over the wire. If that's right, can a multipage form be architected so as to avoid this problem?

No that technology does not exist yet. There are form level events that need to have the entire document there before they can fire. Also you would have to keep track of where you are so that would mean some sort of session information for each user.

Very slow load times

iMovie 08' is taking almost 2 minutes, sometimes over 2 minutes to load my movies from iPhoto. Once they load there are no issues. My movie library is only 46 minutes total runtime and are not HD so it's not like I have a massive library. Any ideas why it's taking so long to load? It's not the system either. I can launch iMovie right after a restart and still the same issue.

Ok I think I've fixed it. After reinstalling quicktime and restarting my computer several times I've gotten everything, including my large movies, to start up just fine. I'm not entirely sure what I've done, but aside from those restarts etc the only thing I can think of that I did was throw away the Perian codec in Hard Drive>Library>Quicktime

Iceland site - load times ok?

Here is a site from our trip to Iceland. Are the image and movie load times ok?

Of course, any design suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Thanks.
TomBud, I know the corners look bad on a few shots. Believe me, I was kicking myself when I looked at the video for not being more careful. I tried putting in a matte in the corners, like little triangle pieces, but I think it detracted from the video more than the blemishes.

Long load times and poor application performance

We have packaged and deployed Adobe CC using SCCM within my school division. It pushed out fine, but now when we attempt to open Photoshop (or any other CC app) it has unusually long load times. 2-4 minutes. It seems to be hanging at the "Reading preferences" stage. After the application appears to have started, it takes an unusually long time to actually start working in the application (it appears to just hang).

Hello There,
EXE's always bundle additional files because it is a stand-alone entity. And, if the size 9GB then it will surely take time to load all the files. I'll check with the team again on how we can optimize it. BTW, are the videos inserted as slide video or Event video?
Thanks,
Vish

Dvrcast load times - is HDS a solution?

We are streaming H.264 video to the dvrcast application using RTMP streaming. Everything is working fine, though we are noticing some unacceptable load times when loading large videos for playback that have been recorded this way. I found http://forums.adobe.com/message/3399973#3399973 which offers some suggestions. I will be looking into post-processing the video to defragment it, but I'm also interested in HDS. Is it possible to use HDS with dvrcast streams that were recorded to mp4 via RTMP streaming? I tried the HDS URL convention - http://server/dvrcast_origin/stream_name.f4m but this isn't working. Are there other suggestions for improving load times for long videos with the dvrcast application?

Additionally, I can't seem to get the F4V post processor to work with these files. It is throwing an error "cannot open file" and the -v flag adds no helpful output.
