Slow down to save the internal HD

Hello

I cannot save files from Photoshop on my internal HD on a 24 "imac with 4 GB of RAM. This problem started only recently and is happening in CS3 and CS4 on the same machine. HDD internal 1 TB and has 380 GB of available space.

If I save on a HD external and everything is fine and the files recording within seconds, as expected. I did drive repairs and permissions controls / repairs using disk utility and all are ok.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? A kind of preference which is perform both CS3 and CS4 maybe?

Thank you.

Hi, I couldn't follow it all, but

How much space do you have

Highlight the icon for your hard drive and command + i (get info)

How many GB are available

Then,.

you have booted from the installation DVD and ran

Disk utility > repair disk

you have all the results (errors) in red text

If disk utility can't repair their departure DiskWarrior (or erase, restore backup)

have you created a new and updated trial user account

did you run the last Apple COMBO UPDATE for your operating system

did you run all the Apple and Adobe updates

have you used a utility like OSX Cocktail to release your caches and run all your maintenance scripts

have you given zero (ZAP) the LANDAU and rest the logic board (which can be called a PMU reset on an iMac, not sure)

have you added any 3rd party software that may interfere with the operating system Finder

have you added photoshop plugins

(can check you put a similar screenshot of your plugins):

(to take a capture of screen, Option + shift + 4, then do drag the area you want, and then insert a picture on your answer)

Finally, if nothing else works, you can better served by erasing your hard drive and starting over (backup Time Machine can save your bacon, unless the problem has been saved to your backup)...

  • Pavilion 15 - ab219tx: Internet slows down after connecting the mobile to WiFi.

    Previously, I had a problem where internet connection slowed down painfully when cell phone charges. I tried to reset the power settings. Now I can connect to the laptop... However, now the problem is that if connect you to WiFi via the laptop, regardless of if its loading or not, the internet becomes ridiculously slow. And if the wifi is turned off, it returns to normal. Help, please.

    Thanks for your reply. I review the post. I understand that drivers are a bit old. I first want to eliminate hardware issues with the computer's wireless card by performing all the steps which are associated software.

    I understand perfectly that WiFi and wired Ethernet connection both seem to be slow.

    A few steps to try:

  • Equium A100: Crisp & slows down sound while the use of CP's high

    When I play a cd/dvd, or extract the contents of cd for laptop, or whatever it is which includes the use of the D: drive, the sound is all distorted and crunchy and slows down. also, the CPU usage is very high, and it won't let me write anything on disks.

    This has happened a few months now, it was workin perfectly before hand and I've only had the phone since Christmas, so it is still under warranty. It's an equium A100 series.

    I've been looking around on the forums and found athread on a similar problem but on a laptop satellite, and which was resolved by a new drive being installed because the original was defective. the link to this thread is:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21308

    so is that what someone had the same problem? does anyone know if a new hard drive would solve the problem on my laptop? and if not does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for any help, dave.

    Hello

    Equium A100 is very similar to the Satellite A100. So maybe it's really a problem even as described in the other thread.

    But listen David, before you send the laptop and want to replace the HDD try first to reinstall the OS from the recovery CD!

    Try everything first format the whole HARD drive, erase the partitions and reinstall the OS.

    If this does not help, it would be wise to check, if the same thing would happen with the new HARD drive!

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

  • Slow down and mix the effect works only together

    Hello

    I have 2 footages from 2 different cameras that recorded the same event and I use Premiere CS6.

    I each sequence of a video track and slow them down to 40%. So I want to use the mixing effect, so in the last third of a scene, the other comes into play, since the camera 2 was set for a close shot.

    However, although mix effect works fine with scenes that are in the original speed, I couldn't make it work when the speed is changed! It seems that it goes with a totally different clip - that exists in the timeline and is in the same way that I wanted to stage 2 to blend.

    For the moment I change the speed setting (or time-remapping), loses the stage 2, in which I applied the effect mix, is the reference for scene 1.

    Any thoughts on how mix slowed the scenes without having to export the first slowed then merger of the output files?

    Thank you!

    I see that there is certainly a problem. I put one clip on another and used the mix to 50%. Worked well. I changed the two clips to 40%, and the clip with the effect looks like it's on the frame to hold on to the last image. A bug for sure.

    Perhaps you'd be happier with a cross dissolve transition between the two elements? At least until the bug is fixed. I suggest that you put in a bug report. I'll do the same.

  • Illustrator CS5: Slow down to save documents

    Hello! I am the Christ, new on the Adobe forums!

    We have someone using Illustrator CS5 and work with the file from 10 MB to 500 MB, most of the time. The problem is that, when you open, correct, it is slow because there is a file on the network (400 MB), but when you save it, network or not, it's VERY, but VERY slow. I mean, you click on save, and then save the file, then the program Illustrator answers does not, then you wait about 15 years, and the small window that displays the progress happens. You wait after this progress bar for like 30-40 years. It's the same thing, like even time for a 100 MB file.

    One of my friends told me that he has the same problem, but it has never had this problem with illustrator CS2.

    Our computer:

    Intel E8400 3 GHz

    4 GB of RAM

    160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

    Windows XP SP3 to update (we tried on the same machine, but with a windows 7, same problem)

    A friend's computer:

    AMD Athlon II X 4 635 2.9 ghz

    4 GB of RAM

    500 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

    Windows XP SP3 update (done on computer 2 with same spec) (on CS2, was not so long, with an AMD Athlon X 2 4200 + and 3 GB of ram)

    Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you very much

  • Start your computer has slowed down considerably since the update KB980408 and KB975496

    Not sure if this should be posted in "performance and maintenance", but since these updates, my boot time slowed. My computer is a month and must not already have these problems of law?

    It could be a coincidence and another question, but I'm not sure.

    Any help is appreciated more.

    Thank you!

    You can determine exactly what causes most of the performance issues by following the steps below:

    Method 1: Put the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Method 2: Clean boot

    If the problem is not repeated in safe mode, there is probably a startup item or service is causing the problem. Follow the steps on the following link to locate the item or service responsible for the error:

  • Color Laserjet 5550dtn: slow down communication with the configuration of the printer

    My Color Laserjet 5550dtn suddenly lost the capacity of its network - as evidenced by the disappearance of the network address in the printer display panel.   I replaced the jetdirect 615n card, and I could then access the installation of I/O again and set the address of the printer that it had before (192.168.1.106)

    The printer seems to work OK, but when I try to access the printer via my browser, using its address, screens appear, but after a very long delay - sometimes up to two or three minutes.   Similar delays occur every time I have change the Access tab.

    I put the mask 255.255.255.0, and the DNS server on 192.168.1.1 (the address of the router system) and have disabled other protocols except TCP/IP.

    I don't remember the exact settings I had before, so is there anything else I may have missed that causes this extremely slow response?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Sorry for not answering before, but my wife is damaged the problems of column vertebral too take precedence over all the rest for a while.

    I started to have more problems, leading to no communication via the ethernet card at all and only work with USB connection.   I bit the bullet and bought another printer of opportunity - without the cartridges of ink, which works very well, and commicates quickly to local net address.

    I saved some of the components of the old machine, so the expense was not so bad really.

    The original machine was always a little suspicious, but it was also used, maybe, I had a bad Control Board.

    Thanks for the useful suggestions.

  • Slow down execution of the program for a home network

    Can anyone help? My Satellite Pro A60 short on my network and everything is fine but when I connect it to my network wireless home any program (and anyone) takes about 1 minute to open, once the open program this program will work fine and fast. If I eject air wireless is fine and all other programs very quickly. This delay occurs for ANY program that you care to open - Solitare even!

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know if this happens right at the beginning or all the time so that the WIFI is enabled. If this happens right at the beginning, it may be possible that the unit will search automatically for certain network files or even printers. For this reason, the opening of applications may take a longer time.

    Good bye

  • Slowing down tear of the drive

    Hello, I'm new to these maps and I will start my saying, I am extremely frustrated, so wear my grammar.

    I have audio books on CD, disk can have several "chapters" all on the same volume/length. the extraction moves quickly enough through the first chapters of 7 or more, but just barely dragged along on the other three.

    Is this a hardware problem? the Interior would be hot? I recently had the back wide and all blown... suggestions?

    I don't think that it's a hardware problem, but it can be cd (some bad sectors). Anyway, you can try a software called Poikosoft Easy CD-DA Extractor. This is shareware, but you can use it for free for a month.

  • Envy 14: HP Envy running very hot (slows down periodically during the video)

    Hello

    I would like to get information on how to properly clean my HP Envy 14 laptop fans, number of product B4B14UA #ABA. I tried to use boxes of air through the ventilation openings, but I'm able to accomplish turns too fast the fans. I'm unable to remove dust. It is a laptop I've owned for about 2 years.

    I suspect that the fans/vents are blocked because the winds blow warm air and the base of the laptop is almost too painful to sit on my legs. The upper part of the keyboard runs hot along the strip of aluminum above the function keys.

    Although the use of the battery for several hours, now it takes an hour, running minimum settings due to the heat. In addition, while playing video, the computer will freeze and cause the video to stutter occasionally. I tried a computer laptop cooling pad, but it doesn't seem to be the problem.

    So, in summary, I would like to know whether or not to clean my laptop fans would void its warranty (if it still exists) and whether or not fans of cleaning would be possible for a layman.

    Thank you for your time.
