Lightroom bald-makingly tedious and slow

My wife's attempt to run Lightroom on our 2012 end Mac Mini: Intel 2,3 GHZ processor; 4 concerts of mostly unused RAM, OSX 10.9.5. She has a Nikon D750. We have never done this before and we are technicians sophisticated nor photographers sophisticated. All about Lightroom is prehistoric, madly, bald-makingly slow. My inclination is: we'll have to buy a computer with a faster processor and more RAM. Any help?

Thanks in advance. General computer buying tips (I prefer the PC to Mac) host as well.

  • Cannot open lightroom 6 on PC and laptop since last night. I have a stand-alone perpetual license.

    I've been using Lightroom for several years and finally I bought a perpetual license of standalone lightroom 5 with update free for LR6 on PC and mobile.

    Last night I was working in lightroom on PC when I realized that I had imported my new photos to the catalog 2015 instead of a new catalog of 2016 which I had used for a week. I chose open another catalogue (2016) in order to import new pictures in the catalog, bypassed the message about stopping the catalog I was using and the message back up before you finish then anything, lightroom does not open.

    I performed tests on the PC, but nothing wrong was found. This morning when I turned on by clicking on the lightroom ICON was just a spinning wheel (busy) for about 5 seconds, then nothing. He has refused to open.

    I tried to connect to my Adobe account, it was very slow but I got end.

    Earlier I decided to use the laptop, which is independent of the PC, I do not use cloud services. I have exactly the same problem, a wheel that runs for about 5 seconds, then nothing. It's like I've been locked out.

    Problem has been resolved. Disc scan in SafeMode the updated an irreparable damaged windows file. Restored (reset) initial backup of disks PC and restore all data backup hard drive. Fingers crossed, everything will be fine now.

  • Satellite U200 getting more slower and slower - 5 minutes to stop

    My U200 becomes slower and slower - 5 minutes to stop! and now it crashes when I try to install the drivers for "Cakewalk Sonar THE"- so I need help.

    I think I need to re - install Windows XP, however, I only got a "recovery disc" with the laptop - which will reformat my hard drive - there no way to reinstall xp without reformatting?

    If I have to reformat-how can I recover my Express Media Player & Norton Protection? -(I bought the laptop in January this year)

    HM, I think that you won´t get around this recovery thing, because I think your system may be heavy software problems.

    Regarding the Media Player and Norton: were they not installed as you bought this machine?

    Welcome them

  • My 2013 series MacBook Air hot and slow or freezes when I'm on Facebook or Tumblr. In addition, the battery begins to drain. Why?

    Whenever I'm on Facebook or Tumblr, my MacBook freezes and runs hot and slow, eventually freezing. He also began to overheat, with maximum speed cooling fan and battery drainage. This only happens when I'm on these two sites since it rolls when they are not open. There is no problem in loading the computer or using other programs and Web sites.

    These issues have started only very recently, in the last week or so. What is strange is that for a number of programs or open tabs does not seem to cause problems, but once I open Facebook or Tumblr, the computer becomes overloaded (even if there are no other programs running outside of Safari and they are only two tabs open). Even YouTube does not cause the same effect.

    Help is very appreciated!

    MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    Hey there!

    What browser do you use? I had some problems of my own with Tumblr, Google Chrome, and power draining eventually led me to dump Chrome when I realized it was hogging all my resources. I recommend also to configure tumblr to show you your dashboard in the pages of 10 to 15 positions rather than scroll without end - in this way, he does try to keep everything loaded at the same time.

    You can also see your Mac activity monitor while you use these sites to get a better idea of how the power of the computer's processor and RAM are handling activity.

  • My computer is old and slow. What can I do?  I have a 4 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.  The processor is clocked at 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo I Mac

    My I Mac computer is older than 6 years and became slower and slower.  I added the memory once in the past which has contributed to the speed.  He was clocked at 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo for a processor and memory is 4 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.  I wonder if I it is better to buy more memory or if the computer needs to be replaced, it still works very well for email and working on small documents, but it is really slow and crashes when working with images and large files.  Any advice is welcome.

    I have a similar computer.   It will accept 6 GB of memory.   It is far from slow and Etrecheck reports he cited as excellent.   I think you have some unnecessary baggage in tow.   Why not download and do a report for us Etrecheck.   Publish it as an answer, here, and maybe we'll find the reasons...

  • computer laptop HP compaq 6730 b freezes and slows down

    I have a laptop hp compaq 6730 b.

    Since a few days, I realized when I plug to charge my cell phone, it freezes finally and slows down.

    The CPU usage suddenly increases.

    What should I do?

    help please...

    Thank you

    It works ok with only the power adapter is plugged in and the battery out of the laptop? The battery charge ok if the laptop is turned off? The laptop works for a long time reasonable with just the battery?  I've seen this kind of problem with a Toshiba machine that used a NEC/CATHERINE 0E128 Proadlizer high switching frequency DC/DC Converter output capacitor.  I doubt that your computer has this chip but the problem and the function are similar.  It is a device surface and can cause the laptop to have a problem with the battery and the power adapter plugged in at the same time.  Many times this you will also charge the battery when the computer is turned off, but not when it is turned on. Sometimes it will not allow your to run Notepad with only the attached power adapter and the battery removed. Just to think.

  • The fan frequently betwenn oscilates fast and slow

    My satellite phone to old is 15 months - for the past 2 months, he developed a tendency to switch from one mode of ventilation of fast and slow in a cycle of a second. A colleague IT tried air compressed to clean any dust - this made little difference.
    Is this likely to lead to failure problem? Is this a case of dissambling fan housing and more thorough cleaning? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    It of a simply that after awhile of use of the laptop it s necessary to clean the cooling module.
    During the use of the laptop fans suck up dust all the time. Usually, the dust is responsible for a bad performance of the cooling modules.

  • FilterKeys, repeated Key Strokes and slow keys does not disable or turn off.

    FilterKeys or repeated Key Strokes and slow keys prevents me from holding the keys for playing games.  I tried to disable in the ease of access Center, but that does not change.  Any time I press a key, it records the run key for about two seconds, then stops.  It prevents to move in the game because I can't hold before, I either have to use my mouse to move or I have to use autoplay.  It caused a lot of problems to be able to play the game.

    You fill the keyboard buffer. It has probably nothing to do with the accessibility settings. Your game id showing signs of no compatibility with Win 7. I'd go to the game to a patch for the game machine to run it in Windows 7.

  • Application 'Tweed' increasingly greater and slowing down

    I noticed the wire of time that my request of Tweed becomes slower and slower.  I just pulled up the application information, and it's an enormous size 17 024 Ko!  Apparently, this isn't clear all that there is storage when it is downloaded from Twitter.  I tried to delete the account and re-adjusting upward, but that did not bring the size down.  It seems I have to remove the entire application from my pre and reinstall it.

    Anyone else notice these issues of size and slowness with Tweed?

    Hi Silvrdrgn36

    If you go into the menu of the Tweed application or any other application, there is a link to the support site or contact more details the author. I suggest that notify you these guys there on the issue - this is probably a memory leak in the code which they will determine if you can get the info.
