• What to do if the Ipad is really slow and unresponsive fast?

  My ipad is really slow, not in response to normal speed and lose battery charge soon as usual!

  CAN HELP SOMEONE, IT WILL BE APPRECIATED!

  Thank you

  Try to reset all the settings in the settings under general app and in the right column under restore.

  Try stories reset and delete/reset the caches in all web browsers you use.
  If you use Safari, these features may be in the application settings under Safari.
  Other browsers have their settings inside the running application itself.

  If your iPad has been activated for iCloud, in the application settings under iCloud, to the right, under iCloud Drive, type in iCloud drive and make sure that Safari is off to save data from Safari to iCloud by car.

  Also, under iCloud in the application settings, in iCloud Drive, turn the feature off saving for all other desired apps DO NOT the data automatically on iCloud drive.

  If you are using Safari is always causing issues.
  Try changing / using web browser third another, different.
  I do not use iOS Safari too much more because I found it cause me headaches on some Web sites, regularly, to visit.
  I commonly use another third party browser, perfect browser (there are others that can suit your style better web browsing, so look all first to see what third-party browser may work better for you) and I have never experience many questions that Safari was originally.

  In the application settings tab general, right under the spotlight sesrch, try disable the search under the applications who really don't need a research, as some games, remote controls, apps that are really useless to be searched, etc., in order to reduce the list to Spotlight search.

  Try to turn the reduced movement.
  This is found in the application of settings in the general tab, in the left panel.
  In the right panel, look under accessibility, look to reduce the Motion and turn this feature "On".
  You should see a significant performance increase on all models of iPad 2, 3 and 4.

  In the application settings under the general tab, in the right column, search background App update and enable this setting to "off".

  If you find my phone turned on, you can try to disable in the application of parameters to changes in performance seemif.

  Try a reset of your iPad by simultaneously pressing buttons Home and sleep/wake button until your iPad goes to the dark and restarts with the Apple logo, then release the buttons.
  Good luck!

• Course of the channels is really slow in CC

  I work on .net application and ran into an obstacle few performance. I have a simple method that runs through the layers of channel by index, captures the name of the channel that is indexed and if it corresponds to a predetermined variable, then it simple removes this channel. It works as written but is painfully SLOW. Being relatively new to programming, I thought it was just me and open ExtendScript to run a few test.

  var docChannels = app.activeDocument.channels;
    
  for (i = 0; i < docChannels.length; i++ ){
          alert(docChannels[i].name);
  }
  

  To run this script in a document containing only the RGB channels plus 3 other alpha channels takes about 30-40 seconds. Running the same script modified to browse about 20 layers of document only takes about 5 seconds.

  I don't know if it is a bug in Photoshop CC or not. I have not all versions prior to test. I can perform the programming method using a Try Catch statement and directly trying to delete the layer by name. This seems to work a little faster, but not by much and isn't really a good use of a Try Catch statement.

  Any insight into this problem or a better way to impliment as my method of programming would be more appreciated.

  I don't know about .net applications, but I think that the reason the javascript object Model can be slow when working with layers and layers it whenever you create an object layer, or channel all the properties of this object created. I think that the property of the histogram of construction is the main reason to slow down. It is that the document has a large canvas.

  Action eating can be much faster because you can only get the property you require and do not create a DOM object and build the histogram. Try this to see if the names of channel more quickly.

  function getProperty( psClass, psKey, index ){// integer:Class, integer:key
      var ref = new ActionReference();
      if( psKey != undefined ) ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" ), psKey );
      if(index != undefined ){
          ref.putIndex( psClass, index );
      }else{
          ref.putEnumerated( psClass , charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );
      }
      try{
          var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
      }catch(e){ return; }// return on error
      if(desc.count == 0) return;// return undefined if property doesn't exists
      var dataType = desc.getType(psKey);
      switch(dataType){// not all types supported - returns undefined if not supported
          case DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE:
              return desc.getInteger(psKey);
              break;
          case DescValueType.ALIASTYPE:
              return desc.getPath(psKey);
              break;
          case DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE:
              return desc.getBoolean(psKey);

• Unable to access computer because the account password for Windows Vista has been forgotten and don't have a password reset disk/hard to find ways to restore the system... Help please

  Hello
  I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.

  Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)

• In big trouble and the refectory. Really need help and advice.

  Hi everyone, I'll try to be brief and make me delete the cause that there was a strange turn of events for me. A good friend of mine sold me his laptop: Acer Aspire 7560 G. Good enough for me to was for very occasional use. The laptop has dual boot: Windows 7 Family edition provided with the computer and Mint Lixux for which my friend created partitions. Last week, I decided to make the leap to Windows 10 via the free upragde. The process went well until the end when I was informed that there was not enough space on the partition of Windows 7 to complete the installation. So I went to my friend, so he could adjust the partitions in a more balanced way. He said that he could do. Of course, he is the one who partitioned the disk in the first place to the account of his love for Linux. I decided that I couldn't live without Linux in order to have a larger partition for Windows 7. My friend wiped the partition Linux and Windows 7, leaving for me recovery mode partition to reinstall the operating system, after that the other had been moved a little. In fact, he can never enter into Recovery Mode. Hours spent, and he did not want the best solution he found was to install a rather well preserved box of Windows 8 a friend of his who was given with a computer. Installation of Windows 8 is going very well, we had the key and everything. I'm not a Windows Guy. I'm a Mac guy my knowledge is limited, but I want to learn. Sometimes the Apple you know. The OS installed, but asked something like formalizing Windows on my computer. Now, I reinstalled Linux and I do not see the Windows 7 recovery mode. Is that mean I lost my chance to spend freely for good? This Windows 8 is not even mine, he's a friend of my friend. I'm really upset and I think someone has caused me major problems. Can anyone help please?

• The VMs are really slow (solved)

  I solved this problem by myself: I installed then disabled Hyper-V and it fixed Workstation

  Hello

  First of all, I spent hours on google to find a solution without success.

  When I install a program for example (even lite one), it may take up to 30 minutes to finish.

  Virtual machines are not lag (for example the mouse works well) but are slow to take action, to run programs.

  To stop a new simple installation of a windows virtual machine, it takes 10 minutes to do.

  I use last trial version of VMWare Workstation.

  My pc settings:

  . Processor: Intel® Core™ i5 4570 s (quadruple-heart - 3.7 GHz)

  . RAM: 16 GB PC12800 (1600 MHz) Corsair Vengeance DDR3

  . OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

  . Motherboard: ASUS Z87 - Pro C2

  . Power supply: Corsair HX850i 80 + Platinum

  . Storage: Samsung SSD Pro 850 128 GB (OS) + 2xWD Black 3 to SATA 6 Gbps (where virtual machines are stored)

  . Internet: CAT5e cable to VDSL2 Vectoring 100 MB Ethernet

  Here's what I've tried:

  -Virtual drives are stored on a single file

  -virtual drives defragmented

  -Runing a single vm

  -VMware Workstation Procces priority to high value

  -more than disc 20% free space on the guest and host

  -Even if the use of the cpu and ram are ok, I tried to add more CPU and more RAM on vm

  -Turn off the AV on the host (and not av on the virtual machine)

  -Performance power running on the host and the VM

  -VMware tools installed and up-to-date

  -Wide screen saver

  -VMware Workstation installed on an SSD and VM stored on a Western Digital Black 3 TB drive

  -My HARD drive are new, but I ran a test INTELLIGENT with the official tool of WD and the test is successful, the HARD disk is not fragmented.

  -Tried both x 86 and x 64 Windows VM (x 64 host)

  -delete snapshots

  -Even though I have no performance problem on my host, I closed all the apps runing

  -I don't use bound vm

  -Had the same problem on my old computer (I only kept my previous my ssd with the operating system installed on host PC)

  -Run Workstation as an administrator

  -Use préallouées

  I can copy filed up to 140 Mbps on my hard drive, so that it works fine, but when you use VMware workstation, write speed is stuck to 7MBps, when virtual machines running 1 or 10

  

  One thing to note: my CPU not hyperthreading. But I had one before with this option has got the same problem.

  

  It would be nice if you could help me, I'm stuck with this problem.

  Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately it does not solve my problem.

  I have already tried everything this KB except the line

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  but this does not solve my problem either.

  Here's some useful information:

  -Run Workstation as an administrator

  -My HARD drive are new, but I ran a test INTELLIGENT with the official tool of WD and the test is successful, the HARD disk is not fragmented.

  -To stop a new simple installation of a windows virtual machine, it takes 10 minutes to do.

  -I can copy filed up to 140 Mbps on my hard drive, so that it works fine, but when you use VMware workstation, write speed is stuck to 7MBps, when virtual machines running 1 or 10

  -It takes about 2 min to suspend a virtual machine

• Unstable AE after rendering, have to start cold computer because the system becomes unstable. Help please!

  Hello world.

  I have a laptop Intel i7 Toshiba Qosmio with 12 GB of RAM, a 3 GB Nvidia graphics card.  Two 750 GB HARD drives.  Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

  I had to convert a video (in AE) of my camcorder Sony QuickTime then moka he could follow.  The file size was 12 GB.  I motion tracking with Mocha video 3000 frames have been followed.  I have completed my project and when I go to make it takes about 15 or more minutes to return, but after the rendering of the entire system is completely unstable and requires a cold start.  It makes the video fine, but the computer is unstable.

  I was looking at the use of the RAM then that rendered and he used only about 15% of the 9 GB allocated for AE.

  AE CS6 version 11.0.4

  Can someone help me with this?  I uninstalled AE and reinstalled and there are always the same.  I have a small project, no less important than a case and it preformed fine. No problems.

  Is the size of the files of great for AE?  Could the movement followed with Mocha be a factor in the stability of EI?

  No idea which continues, please help me.

  Thank you.

  I think I solved it.  I created the new exact replica of my project that makes the computer unstable.  I made it another 2 times, it takes 3 minutes and the computer is 100% stable.

  So I think that the old project was corrupt or something because the new double that works perfectly.

  So I call it answered.  Thanks for all help, much appreciated.

• Updates do not install it. Error 0 x 80246008. Have you tried Fixit, manual change in the system, reboot, etc. Help

  18 January 2013

  Windows Update does not work. I get "error 0 x 80246008.

  HP update does not work. I get the message "access denied."

  ----------------------------

  I followed the instructions on the error window that explains how to fix the problem.

  I ran it hard several times. The message says "components Windows Update must be repaired", but never tells me not how.

  Found how to check (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service, but COULD NOT find it on my computer.

  I have renamed the windows update download folder.

  I logged as administrator.

  None of them have worked.

  The only changes that have been made on my computer is to uninstall and reinstall JAVA after the security alert, and an update on Adobe PDF files.

  Everything else seems to work.

  I worked on it for more than 8 hours now and am more confused than ever.

  Anyone has any suggestions, please?

  1. is your computer up to date, including the level of service packs.
  If this isn't the case, please do.

  2. do you have any AV (anti-virus) program installed for the protection?
  If not, I recommend one of the following: they are free.
  Avast Home Free Edition:

  Scurity Microsoft Essentials:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

  Note: choose only one. Do NOT install both.

  3. did you regular maintenance for your computer?

• The system lists download slow?

  Everyone out there knows about this?  My lists take an incredibly long time to download.

  Hi Eric,.

  We have not had reports of slow. I also checked your facility and was not able to see the downloads that lasted longer than normal. I would certainly recommend the call in the support line, and to have one of our representatives go through the steps of troubleshooting with you if this still causes problems.

• The rendering is really slow on my new rMBP

  Hello world!

  So I bought a new MacBook Pro of the retina with the following specifications: Intel Core i7, 8 GB of Ram, 256 SSD HD and NVIDIA GT 650 m 1 GB

  This is the first time I have a powerful machine and during the rendering of a twixtor animation in AE, rendered goes pretty slowly. I mean it ' s a laptop from £2000 with pretty good record, should not faster? In any case, I can accept this question to a certain level.

  But if I did slide my original clip in my composition (without any changes/effects applied) and try to scroll to see where to begin my effects, it does not play the video at its original fps. Is this normal?

  Are there software options I can choose to push for better performance?

  eatChocolat wrote:

  I'm just really supprised AE cant read a clip to its orignal speed setting when well even the clip has not been changed

  This is because you are pregnant AE behaves as a non-linear editing - which he isn't. A NLE is specifically designed for playback of a video stream. After Effects (and flame, Fusion, Shake, etc) all pixel-based image processing applications that behave very much like Photoshop. They calculate the values of each pixel in each image, came up with a new pixel and then read the pixels.

  AE and other applications of pixel-based composition, always work internally with the completely uncompressed pixel data. NLE relies on codecs, compression and, in some cases, hardware, playback of the video.

  This is a very simplified version of what's going on under the hood, but I hope it makes sense.

  There is some more information about the preview here.

• Make the desktop gadgets really slow down your computer? __

  I have several on my desk, varies it just on your computers memory, speed etc? In the Task Manager it shows like sidebar.exe runninng 49 112 memory, is that a lot? For example, it is the same use as my browser.

  If you have enough current execution, it could possibly affect performance, but all depends on how many resources use gadgets.  If you have an old PC with not much RAM, which would also increase the possibility.
