Since the update, adding a file (to send or download) takes forever?

What happened since I did the last OS update last week. When you go to download a file (or files) as an email, or on an online site to upload photos (IE. Facebook, dropbox etc...) It's the wheel that turns and cannot use Safari, probably for about 45 seconds. Then, you can select, but it seems slow and can stall.

Ideas?

Hi salem801,

Thanks for posting your question in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that you see some slowness when you try to transfer a file to your email and other applications like Safari. I love being able to share my photos with friends and family, so I can understand how this can be a little annoying. I'm happy to offer assistance.

First of all, I recommend try closing all your open applications, and then test again.
macOS Sierra: Quit apps

You can also consult the activity monitor, to see if something is to use more resources as it should be when you try to download your photos.
Use the monitor activity on your Mac.

If you're still having trouble, you can also try to start in safe mode and test the issue to a test user. Safe mode disables some third party applications and deletes some caches. A test user will help you determine if this problem happens in your specific user account or if it's the case across all users. You will find for these two articles below:

Take care.

  • Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager)

    Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager).  I have reset Photoshop like application default for jpg files, rebooted.  Nothing has changed.  The ideas people?

    Hi R_Kelly,

    Hidden folder/file settings was the first place, I checked and kept checking each new reboot.

    I have copied below my temporary solution I posted in another forum thread.

    See point 7.  I found a way to make it visible again.

    1. I can see all jpg files created before Win10 update AND all the jpgs created by other programs, other than Photoshops after Win 10 update.

    2 Photoshop cannot see the newly created Photoshop created jpg files in the file picker at all since Upgrade to Win 10.  I've never had a problem of invisibility of file before winning 10 update.  My hidden files were always checked to be visible.  However, Photoshop can open if listed files in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    3. the files are not visible or clickable at all in Windows Explorer tree or the Photoshop file selector. They become open and visible when listed in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    4 Microsoft Office applications can't see the new Photoshop created Jpg files in file, only pre Win 10 update pickers jpg created by other applications and versions.

    5. the problem occurs only with Photoshop jpg created after the Win 10 update.

    6. I checked the settings "Show hidden files, folders and files of the operating system", and they remain as they were, which allows all the hidden to visible objects.  I kept the visibility settings files in this way since the early 1990s.

    Temporary fix below *.

    7. I did yet another simple search of the text Windows Explorer, he finds invisible jpg files less all links 'recently used' who were there yesterday (2nd day after I created the files), I checked the location of file properties file and it entered the original file I saved their.  Using a right-click of the mouse on the file to bring up the menu actions and file properties, I was able to copy and then paste the file into another directory.  I jumped on the directories to see if it remains visible and he (Yes). The new copy is now visible to the pickers of file in Photoshop and Microsoft Office applications.

  • Since the update files now open in a new window and pinned tabs open all in the folder.

    Since the last update, now instead of simply to open a new page in the same tab when I click on a link, it opens a new tab. I also have a pinned favorite links folder, before I just click on it and scroll down to my link desired, since the update whenever I click on the folder, it just opens it in the folder. How can I fix it and God good, why cannot it be an option that stops updates to immediately change the previous settings like this done.

    I scrolled the basic options and couldn't find any way to address these changes, there are now very few options for tabs and pins.

    Yes problem seems to have resolved this self, probably a problem of update or something.

    I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

    It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.

    Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates.

  • Since the update, the tab general in Options keeps opening by itself, involuntary.

    Since the update 4.2, the general framework in Options for guard opening by itself. Why doesn't he do that and ho can I get arrested? There is nothing there, I want to change.

    You can check the home page setting to make sure that you have not added the words: preferences page.

    • Tools > Options > general > startup: Homepage

    Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol (pipe).

    Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the Web page. How can I stop this?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • Since the update of Firefox, Google appears as a string of foreign characers

    Hi, since the update of Firefox, as the title suggests, any google page seems just a string of characters. I had pages like this before, but only for connections to live stream. I disabled all the plugins addons and Google-related, but the problem still persists. The solution in the other thread do with subject: config (failure of the change of an option to 'true'. The only other difference to it, is that it not connecting to http more, just https. Any help?

    Hey TheDefiniteArticle,

    We have followed this issue for a few days now. When he started to happen? Ask yourself if it is an update of the extension, or something.

    1. In the url bar, type about: config and press ENTER. Confirm that you be careful and move forward.
    2. In the search bar the top, past this text without the quotes "network.http.accept encoding.
    3. This should limit the values in the configuration file to a single line. Please tell me what you see in the column 'Value'?
    4. This field should be read 'gzip, deflate' without the quotes. If this isn't the value, double click on this field and paste this valley in.
    5. Restart Firefox and try a page that has had strange encoding before.

  • Problems since the update to Dreamweaver

    I am a student and one of my classes this term is to learn Dreamweaver.  I had taken the CC 2014 version and earlier this week, I did an update on Dreamweaver and other Adobe products.  Since the update, I noticed that I have more Design button above the screen.  I have only code, split and live view buttons.  Then my homework begins by creating a new site using the files given to us.  After you have created the new site I had to create a new html file I made.  With this new html file open, I needed to go down to the pane properties and click the Page Properties button.  However, this is not this button.  When I went into the menu change, the properties of the Page is grayed out so I can't select it.  Does anyone have an idea on what I can do to solve these problems?

    OK, I found the design mode, did not realize that there is now a drop-down arrow next to live that I had to click on and have a menu to select either directly or design
