This morning Lightroom slowed to a slow crawl, making it unusable.

Any body else having this problem?  Slow to the point where it takes 3-4 minutes to load a thumbnail, or one or two minutes to change one tile to another.  Unusably slow.  Any suggestions?

Windows 8.1, 24 RAM, I7. SSD.  Everything is updated.  No change of computer in the past two days except Lightroom has slowed to a crawl.

Jim

Thank you all for your comments.  None of these elements are relevant.  No new external drives, people or add photos screen was not enabled.  Ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and that seemed to work as I am back to normal again.  No idea what it was, maybe a registry error?

Thanks again,

Jim

  • Woke up this morning to find Safari almost dead

    Looking at the list of complaints and questions from this morning, almost everything I have, apparently, something was terribly wrong with Safari.
    Search from address bar does not work, the bookmark / recent tabby-do sites does not work.  Search through the address bar does not work.  The whole thing is so slow that it's ridiculous (even if I did have this crash yet).  It is also noted that Keychain was not passing on the keys as it should.  This has happened for a while though.

    Oh!  And the transfer procedure is not no longer works!

    Safari is broken. Does anyone know what's the deal?  Maybe we look right on an update?

    I don't remember clicking on something like this, but when the thought was interesting.
    Apparently, there's a link floating around that crashes Safari.

  • Word is no longer in my programs after several reboot this morning

    original title: Word is no longer listed in my programs after several reboot this morning - SEE Add ' l COMMENT ADDED at the END of

    I typed in the search box and the open program winword, but now how do I add it to my startup (and to see it reported once more as an active program)?

    My PC is Windows XP - I think that it's the home edition.  Word 2003.   I started my computer this morning after having been turned off during the weekend and it was very slow.  Safely, I rebooted twice but no difference - then did two tough stops.  Norton 360 (no problem popped up) and restarted the computer.  Everything worked fine until I went to start a new Word document.

    I tried to do a system restore but it says that no changes have been made to my computer.  But I know that's not true!

    Help!

    MORE: I have now called Microsoft Word Viewer, I've never seen before.  Thanks again.

    Word Viewer is (probably) the application from Microsoft which allows you to view documents created with newer versions of Word (Word 2007 and Word 2010).  In general, they are saved as files instead of.doc, *.docx files.

    You can create a shortcut on the desktop to the Word as follows:

    • Right click on a box empty the desktop and select new > shortcut
    • Click the Browse button and locate winword.exe, which for Word 2003, should be in
    • C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
    • Click next
    • In the 'Name' box, replace Winword.exe with Word (or whatever you like)
    • Click on finish

    If you also want an entry in the start menu > all programs list.

    • Click the Start button, and then select open all users
    • Double-click the "Programs" folder
    • Right-click and drag the shortcut on the desktop that you created in the folder open ' programs' and select 'Copy here' in the context menu
  • Common cold called the India telling me that my computer is corrupt and needs attention at a cost. The call of this morning came from 02533639006.

    Please could someone tell me if the calls of the India telling me this computer is corrupt and needs attention to the cost are to be considered as a suspect.

    This morning, my husband took one of the many calls from a company whose name can never be clearly understood.  Call came this morning from the above mentioned phone no.  It was a particularly tough call, insisting that they knew there was corruption on my system and when my husband asked for the source of this information and how they would take care and at what cost, the appellant insisted to know the age of my husband.  When he asked the appellant to bring the problems that he was speaking in an e-mail that he rang off the coast.

    As has happened so often before, could someone please let me know what steps I should take to ensure that all information on the State of operation of my computer is genuine and comes from a reliable source.  My husband and I are retired and is concerned by the number of calls we receive from this type.  We had an audit by computer not so long ago and everything was there at that time.  Despite the running is a little slow, I don't have serious problems that I know.  I learned to be patient when waiting for the computer to operate as required.

    I look forward to hear from you in due course.

    Thank you very much.

    It's FAKE and SCAM, because of course, you could report it to the Ministry in charge of fraud in your country.

    ? I downloaded the update this morning - 06/06/12 - and noew I can not enter in the develop module. I get an error message.

    The problem seems to have been fixed. When I checked to make sure that all the other modules are accessible, Lightroom 4 quit, rebooted and then checked something - "power point curves", went through a kind of internal procedure, after having whiuch the problem no longer existed. The error message was: "an error occurred when attempting to change modules." I decided to respond this way in case somebody stumbles into that.

  • Had a strange pop up this morning on a random in sign.

    This morning when I woke up, I saw a pop up saying ple ID was used to connect in another part of the world. I don't know her so I clicked to change my password immediately. Hours later, I got a strange email on my account and click on it to see what email address was before clicking on a link and it certainly isn't Apple. When these two things that happened on the same day, is that pop up that I received this morning legitimate? I'm afraid now that a conditioned hacker pop in my phone to see my account information. Note, I'm 10 IOS and my phone did not have a jailbreak done. I could be over reacting, but due to my acct seen my CC on file, I want to be sure I'm safe.

    Hello Glen4X4,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I understand that you have received an alert of the strange and email on your Apple ID. I know that Apple ID may have valuable information, these questions can be very concerning. Your privacy and security are extremely important. I'm here to help.

    The iTunes Store will never ask you to provide personal information or account information sensitive (for example passwords or credit card numbers) by e-mail.

    E-mail messages that contain attachments or links to non-Apple Web sites come from sources other than Apple, although they may appear from the iTunes Store. Most often, these attachments are bad and should not be opened. You must never enter your Apple account information on any non-Apple Web site. Apple sites that require account information have apple.com, for example http://Store.Apple.com/fror iforgot.apple.com(with the exception of iCloud.com).

    Identification of legitimate emails from the iTunes Store

    Change your identifier Apple was a big step. I also recommend notify Customer Support iTunes by visiting the link below

    Have an amazing day!

  • At 2 this morning toolbars; now don't have only one. How to restore the missing toolbar?

    Not very in computing, so here: this morning, I had 2 toolbars or a toolbar of level 2 showing the icons and descriptive captions, I created some time ago. I was the computer off for awhile and when I came back to it only the first toolbar (or level) showed. It have a button, I think, that allows me to add sites to the toolbar, but I can't see this button. I tried some of the suggestions given to others who have asked similar questions, but without success.

    That's great.

    (Some other users report their toolbar Yahoo remains unchecked, but I hope that yours will be!)

  • Since this morning, shortcut desktop Firefox will not open unless Firefox was already open...

    Aaaaahhhhh - yesterday, everything was fine. Nothing seemed to be a problem. This morning I'm on my laptop to read my emails as usual, a shortcut icon on the desktop for Yahoo, and it does not open. Then I tried several other shortcuts office linking to Firefox and none of them is open. The only shortcut that works is the Firefox that brings me to my home page. Once it is open, then my shortcuts all work. What? I must say that I have others linking to Google Chrome desktop shortcuts, and they all work very well. What is the problem with Firefox that I now already have it open to allow my shortcuts to open? It is so annoying not being able to just to open things directly from the desktop. I tried to delete all shortcuts and reapply them. It does not help. Anyone got any ideas? Thank you

    Just checked the other shortcuts and they have now all seems to be a new behavior - I guess I had a fleeting event on my hands!

  • I reloaded Firefox this morning and now the HOTMAIL site doesn't load.

    After "reloading" Firefox this morning when I try to access my Hotmail account, I just get a blank screen instead of the normal Hotmail Log In screen.

    Hi, please follow the instructions under the heading "clear history for this site" of Web sites say cookies are blocked - pledge, making sure that you remove all references to Hotmail.

    If this does not work, try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • I use Thunderbird with multiple e-mail accounts. This morning, on behalf of BT 12 months last emails have disappeared, no other accounts like hotmail. (btinternet?)

    The shot to the top of Thunderbird, this morning, the last 12 months of emails have disappeared from my Inbox. Older emails are still there. The new mails are still on my phone. Other accounts in Thunderbird (hotmail, gmail, etc.) do not seem to have been affected. This seems to be a special relationship between Thunderbird and BT internet email. I would be really grateful for any help. Thank you.

    Hi - Thanks for taking the time to answer for me. No, the problems don't moved earlier. My wife also has a near-dormant BTinternet account which is accessible from the Thunderbird even on the same computer. Which has proved to work very well. I found that there were many problems with the BT e-mail yesterday and my problem was resolved later (2 hours on the phone) by a very helpful Lady in BT who virtually rebuilt my account. Even my security questions were rejected. I think that BT Yahoo email had major problems yesterday and he had nothing to do with Firefox - so please accept my apologies if I've wasted your time. Again thank you and best regards.

  • How can I get rid of the practice (news this morning) of messages that appear at the bottom of the Inbox message list when I don't want to see them?

    Until this morning, I could the cursor up and down on my list of the Inbox for messages I wanted to open (or delete without opening). Now, each message darn, the cursor stops on - or sometimes even just past above - appears below the line at the bottom of the list of messages. This means that I can't see so many messages listed at the same time as I could yesterday.
    I can get rid of the line (and the message that open automatically below) only by moving the cursor down on the line. I don't want to do that with every message that I make a break on or exceed. If I want to open a message, I'll open - it is not so difficult.
    I imagine that some people wanted this feature or that it would not have been installed. All I want is to be able to turn it off.
    Thanks for any help.

    Re; I guess that some people wanted this feature or that it would not have been installed. All I want is to be able to turn it off.

    There is no such feature added, because it would be ridiculous to implement.
    The problem you are experiencing is not a problem with Thunderbird.
    It is likely to be your mouse, mouse pad or keyboard.

    Emails do not open without a statement to open. That statement comes from the mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, then this is where to look.

    Either you're inadvertently clicking or your settings are too sensitive or maybe something is stuck, your mouse/keyboard mat is recording your action and act on it.
    Action comes from the mouse or carpets to mouse or keyboard and the computer includes an action is required and performs this action in Thunderbird.

    Determine if what you are doing when it occurs, what method to use and check the settings.

    I would go in your computer control settings to get for example: mouse pads
    and check the settings for sensitivity.

    If you use a mouse pad, it's too easy to press slightly harder and move cursor is interpreted as a left click. Check the sensitivity settings.
    Maybe your keyboard should be cleaned as keys become sticky.
    If you use a mouse, then make sure that your hands are not inadvertently pressing the buttons, the checksensitivity settings or maybe the mouse begins to fail, if not too sentive.
