• MP4 is extremely slow in Compressor 3 - upgrade?

  Hello

  I work a lot with the files mp4 (or m4v) and I use a compressor to encode them to the ProRes format - and then to the FCP 7. Currently using Compressor 3.5.3

  The problem: it is extremely slow. When dragging a mp4 file (say about 10 min) causes of compressor to think and reflect and think - and then dragging the parameters is the same. Compressor 4 is more favourable to mp4 files and would be faster? Or is it my computer which makes it slow?

  The MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Thank you

  BTW, what I'm trying to do is to convert mkv in ProRes files. I do it in two steps: first Handbreak, then compressor. It is a tedious process, so if anyone has a better solution I would be happy to hear.

  If your Mac is the "thought", my guess is that it is not your version of the compressor or your MBP this os the cause. The source file - maybe something suspicious on the handbrake conversion

  A plain vanilla MP4 to transcode Pro Res must be handled smoothly by Compressor 3.5 - and fill a bit faster than real time.

  Try this. Take a one minute or two QuickTime movie and convert it to MP4. Now that import compressor and transcode to Pro Res.  OK it works?

  Also, check that your system drive has sufficient free space - say, a minimum of 10 to 15%.  And make sure that your destination disk has of space as well.

  Your question about compressor 4, the answer is Yes. The latest version (4.2) is quite a bit faster than 3.5 - especially for fairly new Mbps and iMacs. It is also an improvement by other means - including options for extended encoding, greater stability and ease of use. (But keep in mind that there is no shipment to capacity of compressor from FCP 7 4.2.)

  Good luck. Post back and we do know.

• EXTREMELY slow mouse scrolling speed

  Hello, I was faced with a problem with my iMac where the mouse scrolling speed is very slow.  It's so slow that my finger feels bad the amount of scrolling, do I just go to the bottom of an average Web page.  I use a third party mouse, but I think it's a problem with my iMac because when I plug the mouse on my Macbook Air it can scroll to normal speed.  I tried to adjust my speed in system preferences, but it does allow me to increase my speed to scroll beyond the 6th tick and even when he is sure the scrolling speed is still extremely slow.

  It may be worth noting that I've just updated my iMac to El Capitan of Mavericks (so it has not been updated in a while).

  Also, the mouse is a Logitech wireless mouse.

  Please help me find a way to increase my speed.

  I found a solution!  I just installed the latest version of Logitech Control Center and it fixed the problem.

• iTunes running extremely slow

  I'm having a problem with extreme slowness.  I have read all the post and don't see anything that I could change to correct this situation.  I have my music on an external disk file using the FireWire on my iMac.  I have the latest Mac os 10.11.1 and the latest iTunes version 12.3.1.23.

  I lit the apple music, but I'm not using the icloud or search service

  I have 127,88 GB of music on any external drive

  At this point, I am considering canceling music apple and past to another service, and I plan to download an alternative product to iTunes.

  Is it possible that you and Podcasts iTunes can get their own programs as they do on the iPad and iPhone?

  What would be a good alternative to iTunes?

  Thanks for any help.

  One thing you should do is to run disk utility and test the volume of the external drive to confirm that there is no alteration of the data on it.  You can do this by selecting the disk external volume (indented under the Unit) in the disk utility sidebar.  Click on the button of first aid , then run it.  The corruption of data may cause slow access.  Also, if the player is close to being full, which can strongly increase the fragmentation of data, which can cause slow access, especially if the drive has been through cycles to get closer to satiety, followed erase you data in order to free up space, followed by get start near new...

  My iTunes Media , also on an external FireWire drive folder, is currently 315 GB (with things that take more space as films, TV series, video podcasts, etc.).  I actively use two Match iTunes and music from Apple.  I don't feel any slowness.  You can do additional tests on your system to determine the cause.

• Dreamweaver cc 2014 running extremely slow

  Dreamweaver CC 2014 is running extremely slow - with essentially no response (using the split or any other mode mode). My version of CC works perfectly - fast and clean. I have not changed anything - I have to install the new 2014 CC and tried and it doesn't fundamentally. What is going on? I have an iMac 2012 - updated my OS a lot of RAM, etc. I have a lot of open fonts, but this has never done other programs - just wondering if perhaps behind the scenes its reading of all this stuff (why would it?).

  Thanks Preran.

  My external drives (nine in total) were originally of course DreamWeaver 2014 to a problem of 'mapping' of readers. However, by connecting the USB drives first, restarting and opening DreamWeaver 2014 once again, it worked as expected. Add two additional discs to high speed and restart again, all mounted drives and checking dreamweaver acted as it should and it behaved as it should.

  That solved my problem.

  Thank you

• emails are performing extremely slow

  Hello
  After I installed my new Dell PC with Windows 8.1, I wanted to start using Thunderbird as my emailprogram.
  I downloaded the version 31.6.

  However, it seems to me that the performance of the e-mail is extremely slow. Sending and downloading of emails are nice, but move an e-mail to the following in the Inbox takes up to 20 seconds! Removal of e-mails, same thing! In both cases, I get the message "TB is not responding.
  Switching between my two accounts is also a process frustrating, which lasts even longer.

  Pleae, which ca help me in telling me what I did wrong?
  Thanks in advance.
  Kind regards
  Haico

  Computers Dell seem to come with McAfee security/antivirus software pre-installed, and if this applies to your system, it is recommended to stop the McAfee analysis of the mail files:

• My Mac Mini is extremely slow and any video will start but soon stops and intermittently starts and stop immediately. What is the reason?

• Extremely slow AutoComplete for addresses after update to Thunderbird

  Yesterday I upgraded to Thunderbird since version 30 to 31, AutoComplete for addresses is now, while I have written messages that are extremely slow to suggest contacts. If I enter only one letter in the destination field, thunderbird hangs for about 20 seconds and then shows me suggestions.
  Type two letters quickly, thunderbird freezes for 13 seconds. typing 06:03 seconds
  All tested even in safe mode
  I have a local address book with about 9870 remote contacts (no address book) and before the upgrade, everything worked fine

  The problem may be due to the new AutoComplete feature looking for matches which include the search string, not just those that match at the beginning of address book fields, which was the old method.

  If you install MoreFunctionsForAddressBook, it will add a preference, morecols.autocomplete.match_just_beginning, that you can pass to true and see if it makes a difference. Tools(or AppMenu/options)/Options/Advanced/general/Config. Editor, paste the preference in search and double-click it from false to true.

  Edit: Version 0.7 of MoreFunctionsForAddressBook includes this switch on the tab to AutoComplete (valid for TB 31 +) Options.

• Extremely slow download for the El captain

  Hi did anyone know why El download Captain is still extremely slow - I mean it makes sense, while he was in high demand but now *?

  I have a fiber optic symmetric 250/250 and at the beginning of the download connection, everything seems smooth, no estimated that about 30 min download time, then to about 300 MB, things are * upward. And the loading screen does move, it is estimated to take about 2 days to download. I tried 3 different times, 2 times today and there is a time in 3 days.

  It is quite frustrating and I think to keep yosemite now.

  Try to download it in safe mode, or another admin account.

• My MacBook Pro is running extremely slow all of a sudden. Help, please!

• Please help make the equivalent of a defrag on my Mac, as it is extremely slow

  my Mac is extremely slow, painfully slow in reality and needs a cleanup but I don't know how to delete it all waste such as cookies etc and help run faster.

  Help, please

  Cookies do not affect the performance of Mac, and there is no advantage in "defragmentation". Do not use any product that claims to "clean up" your Mac either. They are all scams.

  Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. Read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/to learn how to do this. To learn how to use Time Machine read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

  Determine if the problems persist also in 'Safe Mode':

  • "Safe Boot" or Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all system of third-party extensions and only loads the required system components. Read about it: departure upward in Safe Mode
  • You must turn off FileVault before you start your Mac in Mode without failure.
  • From your Mac in Safe Mode takes longer that usual, graphics won't get smooth, audio is disabled on some Macs and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
  • Just from your Mac in Safe Mode does not solve the problem, it's to observe its performance without additional components.
  • To end, Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Stop will take more time as well.

• Extremely slow on my Satellite Z930 - 15 X

  Hello

  Here is my problem (sorry for my English):

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Z930 15 X.

  For several weeks, it is very very slow. If eco or normal mode, it is still slower than the eco mode. * Even without running any program *. When I look at the Task Manager, everything is ok and fluid.

  Is this a hardware problem?
  I also noticed that the fan works far more often than the first months of use, even with just an open word document.

  The only solution I found is to restart the computer.
  After each restart, it is fast as usual, but only for a short period. But at one time or another, the extreme slowness often returns after a break.

  * I also noticed that it often occurs after a suspension or the connection / disconnection of the laptop from the AC outlet.*

  (I said I have a few programs installed and no trace of virus and other software malicious (I'm very careful about that)).

  Have you had this problem, where it comes from, what can I do?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to tell what exact reason. To be honest I don't think that there is a hardware problem. Fact is that many background processes can slow down the performance of s for laptop. Perhaps some context downloads and installation of the update may be reason your laptop reacts quite slow.

  Please check the commissioning and disable all unnecessary applications. If you do not use some of them, they should not start with Windows and run in the background. Also check Windows update option. Turn off automatic updating.

  If please do first and check if the laptop runs a little faster.
  Please post comments.
