• Lightroom works very slow all of a sudden

  I searched and read all the forums on the optimization of the performance of Lightroom (How to improve and accelerate the performance of Photoshop Lightroom) and have watched many videos with tips on improving the performance on YouTube and have not yet found a solution.

  Question: After a few months of using Lightroom, it suddenly became unusably slow. It was not a demonstration of deliberate for its slow over time. Instead, one day it was usable, and the next day he was not. Even in the library module it lags to switch between images. When I press F for full screen, where it was instantaneous and now takes about 10 seconds and is then stuck in fullscreen. This is true for the large images and old photos of iPhone even in low resolution. Can import is no longer the same wait more than a minute between clicks.

  On my computer

  • 2015 Macbook Pro (a few months)
  • OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 running
  • Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz
  • Memory - 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
  • Graphics - Intel Graphics Iris 6100 1536 MB
  • Hard total is 120 GB
  • Drive hard use 96 GB of the - 47 in photos and approximately 22 GB in "others" which I suppose is a majority of the Lightroom data
  • I almost exclusively use this machine for browsing the web and photography. Nothing else. very few other programs and file type

  On my Lightroom

  • Lightroom CC
  • 2015.2.1 release
  • 5 864 total photos on the computer and my main Lightroom Catalog
  • Only about 60 have changed considerably in the develop module
  • Majority taken on a JPEG of A6000 Sony 24MP camera

  What I tried to solve the problems, does not

  1. Read a lot on the size of the catalog. Mine is still quite small, but I've tried closing the catalog and begin a new one with about 200 shots straight out of the camera. This has not solved the problem.
  2. Optimized catalog
  3. Preferences changed to automatically reject 1:1 previews after a day.
  4. Top left says nothing about the rendering preview. This along with the fact that the issue has been sudden leads me to believe that "Preview size" are not the issue, but I could be wrong.
  5. I tried to move all my photos on an external hard drive fast - catalog file was still on my computer, but I had a lot more space on the machine. This has not solved the problem
  6. I turned off of face detection, because he had tried to distinguish faces
  7. Increased raw cache size of camera

  Lightroom isi the only app I had problems with. Everything else is zippy and smooth. Help, please!

  Hi robertr,.

  • Lightroom CC
  • 2015.2.1 release

  The first suggestion would be to upgrade your Lightroom to the latest version 2015.3. Select Help<>.

  See the maintenance of Lightroom

  Let us know if that helps.

• my 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow

  My 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow - I think especially after I've upgraded to El Capitan. Otherwise, everything in the computer works perfectly and I m using only 200 I have the 1 TB. Onyx and other tests can't find anything wrong. I mainly use my computer for word documents and to manage his photos about 30 000. The internal memory is 2 x 2 GB. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do to speed it up? Thank you.

  I wish I had an answer, but all I can do is rather echo to your problem. I have a 19 mid-2007 "iMac, contributed to the maximum with the RAM, 1 t disc hard less that half full, who did the same thing - he has worked with El Capitan until I updated to the latest version. Once that has happened the machine became so slow as to be unusable. It would take ten or twelve minutes to record a mouse click. When I restarted the machine, it took 32 HOURS to start (Fortunately it isn't my main Mac production).

  Last week, I tried all the remedies of common sense - by removing unused software, keeping an eye on the activity monitor (there is nothing fancy here), etc. Finally, I did all the stuff start, PRAM, run utilities disk (no noted problem) and even tried to reinstall El Capitan to a bootable USB I did with my first Mac, the reinstall, but seemed not 'take' somehow - he wanted to repeat the installation procedure again and again.

  I use the little Mac for Internet, e-mail and (as Karlis2) deal with some of the oldest pictures in my files - I'm sure that I have pictures on Time Machine, so I'm not too worried about it, but this was the first Mac way back in the day, I bought with my money and I'm a little sentimental on and would like to resurrect if possible... I wonder if there is a way to restore the operating system to an earlier version and it would make a difference?

• iMac became very slow and unresponsive

  Hello

  I have an iMac which, in the last two days, suddenly became unusably slow. Almost every click brings up the spinning beachball even just after a reboot. iTunes cannot play a melody without pausing every minute or two. Same Safari is really slow, so I have still not tried more demanding such as Lightroom.

  Its an iMac mid 2010, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HD with 305 GB free. Im running El captain, 10.11.6

  Any ideas what could be causing this or what I could do to remedy the situation? IM thinking I have to go through the pain of wiping the hard drive and reinstall everything. But I'd really rather avoid because I was planning on getting a new iMac when they release then them and I don't want to go through all that process again.

  I hope someone has an idea of something I could try before doing this?

  Thank you.

  Andy

• ElitOne 800 all-in-one: connect Mac Mini to ElitOne 800 all in one computer

  Hi, I have EliteOne 800 all in a computer and I want to connect the Mac Mini or a DVD player to the computer and I want my computer to use as a monitor.

  but I can't find the source (HDMI in)

  How can I connect my Mac Mini and use it on the my computer?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you talk to connect 2 machines by HDMI, which suggests that they are close together.  This virtual private network and Remote Desktop Protocol should work quite satisfactory on an ethernet cable.

  For example, a SERVER, or a RASPBERRY PI device can be used without a screen, the mouse or the keyboard at all and they run HEADLESS, is the operating system, applications & other software is running and the reorientation of screen output to another machine.

  So maybe something I found below can help...

  The server is running headless (No monitor, keyboard or mouse). To control it, I use my Mac Book Pro screen sharing. The two are connected to my local network via Gigabit cable/switch.

  I wouldn't file vault on a machine, that I wanted to act like a small office or home a network file server.
  
  OS X is based on Unix, which means network and services are running "before the GUI is in place". It can run headless, who connected person and you can store files to the thing to your heart's content. From Lion, you can connect remotely to the screen sharing and use your account on a remote computer, rather that on 'look on the shoulder of the current user' which could be pretty useless at times. Apple Remote Desktop used to have a "Curtain" mode allowing you to block the user to see anything (or using the computer) then you did the admin stuff. Even the children don't want to deal with this kind of inconvenience. Starting with Leopard you can connect and do admin stuff as an administrator, even if a non admin user works far not having doesn't need to know you are there.
  
  I do not recommend autologin for a machine without a head. There is no reason someone connects to network to work services.
  
  Here are the steps I would take to put in place a mini "headless":
  
  1 - create the initial admin account
  2. create accounts for each user that I want to store files on the machine
  3 activate the split screen
  4 turn the sharing of printer files and (optionally)
  5. in saving settings, select "auto restart after power failure.
  6. Optionally: install crashplan on the mini (and run it to the virtual machine JAVA is installed) If you want users to be able to go back to the mini using crashplan
  7. Optionally: install a huge drive firewire or usb if you want users to be able to go back to the mini.
  
  Fact.
  
  On client computers, add folder of each user on the Mini as part of login and it will be mounted and will appear on the desktop whenever they connect to their Mac.
  Optionally, you can use crashplan to back up on the Mini. This feature is included free of charge and requires no subscription.
  
  I think safe would work for every user files, but I've not tried it myself.
