Apprearance takes an age to appear - why?

For some reason when I open the Appearance Control Panel, nothing much seems to happen until near enough 30 seconds later (yes I timed it!?) - for some reason it seems only to be the Themes tab that causes the delay. All the other tabs open fine but when I click the Themes tab... 30sec later it opens.
I'm on a 4400 OS9.1 and 64MB ram, 5 GB HD But in general it seems the computer is slowing down, the machine was quite fast when I first did the install, but I have loaded lots of stuff in the meantime and wonder if I have picked up a virus of some sort. I have rebuilt the desktop too.
Any ideas?

How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Do you have lots of files/folders on your desktop?

AR AGING REPORT. Why 'BalDueDeb' minus 'BalDueCred' not same as Balance?

Dear All,
I am trying to build SQL which mimics the AR Aging Report in SAP B1 8.8. Reason is to add additional fields needed by Management. I get the SAME TOTAL as Ageing, but when I run my query, I can't get the same no. of rows as Aging.
Aging has 700 rows (NOT display reconciled transactions), and my aim is to get the same no. of rows.
Case I: When I use: WHERE (T0.BalDueDeb - T0.BalDueCred) != 0
I get 816 rows. All zero balances are eliminated, but it seems that some transactions which have been reconciled appear in my report as outstanding debits and also credits. This is why it has more rows than Aging, although total is correct.
Case II: When I use: WHERE Balance !=0
I get 5026 rows. Many rows show zero balances. I don't understand why they are not eliminated. I thought the 2 commands were equivalent.
But the good news is that when I export to Excel and delete all those zero rows, I get exactly 700 rows, same as Aging!
Same total, same no. of rows!
If anybody could help me complete my query, I can continue. How can I eliminate these rows having zero balances? Where have I gone wrong?
Thanks a lot.

Dear Gordon,
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the incomplete reply which went beyond my control.
Here are my results using WHERE (T0.BalDueDeb - T0.BalDueCred) !=0
I have compared Aging Report with SQL Query.
Doc Type Aging Rows         Aging Total     SQL Rows    SQL Total*
CN            57        -214,315.34     57        -214,315.34
IN           452       4,741,436.41     452       4,741,436.41
JE           134         202,209.56     267         201,584.56
PS            12         107,652.40     18         121,352.40
RC             4        -107,168.04     10        -120,243.04
           659       4,729,815.00     804        4,729,815.00
The results are messy, time consuming to generate and investigate. Too much for newbee!
The main differences lie in JE; about x2 rows in SQL Query.
This may be due to rows that have reconciled in Aging, but appear in SQL Query.
I have also prepared a list of Doc. Nos where there are differences, but too lengthy.
TO Help you understand what's happening the foll. remarks may help:
(1) The T0.Ref1 'Document Number' is empty for all JE. However, for other Doc types, these exist and agree with Aging.
(2) Although 'Document Number' is empty for JE, there is a column Ref1 which does give a reference which agrees with Aging
(3) A specific document always has 1 row in Aging, but may have several rows in my query
(4) I do not know why using: WHERE Balance !=0 works, but it does give a near perfect result. Why not use this as starting point? After deleting all the zero rows which it cannot delete, I GET EXACTLY the same result as SAP B1 8.8 Report 'Aged Analysis of Debtors'. Same no. of rows, Same total. How to delete these zeros in SQL?
(5) In SAP B1 forum, it seems many persons still cannot arrive at the official Aging. I maybe near the correct solution, but no idea why it works.
(6) I am continuing the struggle - maybe I need to put a sub query to eliminate the zeros first?
Thanks

Mac Clients take an age to open, PC much swifter?

Any ideas?
our mac clients, bound to the server, can take an age to open folder in sharepoint - upwards of 70 secs in some instances...
(Granted there may be (say) 200 folders representing individual cases, most holding 4 jpegs, a few may contain 20 jpegs), BUT PC opens the sharepoint almost instantly... usually about 20 macs sharing over AFP and about 4 PCs over SMB at any one time.
If one knows the job number, a search will find it almost instantly on the mac, but sometimes one just has to drill throught the various folders and this is painfully slow.
Why are PC users able to embarass me!!!?:??
Once a directory/Folder has finally opened it will be readily accessible till one logs off

Firefox always wants to restore my last session when I open it. It also takes a long time to open. HHHEEELLLPPPPPPP!

Look in the Utility folder which is located inside the Applications folder.
You don't want to do anything with the disk on a PC if you want it to work on the Mac. They both use different formats.

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

Itunes 10.4.9 takes an age to open

I downloaded the latest version of itunes yesterday onto my works laptop, however every time i try to open itunes it takes roughly 20 mins to open, has anyone else experienced this problem?
Also when it is open, everything to do with syncing the itunes takes an age also.

Same here. The funny thing is, I also have Airfoil that works fine -- I set the input as System Audio and it plays through the Airport Express just fine, so the "network" is working just fine, it is iTunes that seems to have the problem.

E70 Text messages take an age to send

Hi, I wonder if anyone can offer advice. Generally the E70 is pretty cool but It takes an age to send a text message and I cannot use the phone whilst it is sending. I have deleted all messages etc but no joy.
Any advice please?

the early N series had a problem like this, the solution was to download a programme from Nokia support pages for the appropriate handset
sms accelerator i think it was called, maybe there is the same for E70, i cant look as for some reason the only nokia web pages i can look at are the discussion pages, anyone else having a problem getting into nokia.co.uk etc?

Opening a new mail window takes 5 seconds to appear

When I click New Mail it takes 4 seconds to appear for this Window. This is already for many months. I have a .Mac account and three other POP accounts and a fresh other user doesn't have this problem. I might trash some prefs, but I don't want to organize my whole E-mail again. Somebody some clue what to do?

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations. Make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet is at the top of the list. Also, disable any communications/networking configuration enabled, but not in use. Since you don't experience the problem when logged in as another user, this probably won't solve it, but it's worth looking at anyway.
Now, in Mail go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors for your .Mac account. Do you have Store draft messages on the server enabled? If so, disable it and see whether it makes a difference.

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s, recently its been a lot hotter than usual, also the battery life is going down a lot faster than usual, and it takes absolutely ages to charge up. There must be a serious problem with the battery, any ideas? thanks

Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.

Hi, I am loading music onto my z10 by just dragging dropping into the music folder on my sd card (about 4 gb music) and it is plugged into the usb, and I'm finding it is taking soo long (10 hours estimated already waited an hour) previously i loaded an even bigger file and it was long but never took this long (maybe took 2-3 hours previously). Just wondering why it takes soo long to write to an sd card as opposed to downloading from the internet or downloading over wifi or if there is something wrong with my setup (im running windows 7 with a decent laptop by 2 years ago standard), just hoping someone can comment on what they know or have experienced
Thanks Mark
i use a SD adapter in my laptop which works faster than using a cable to my Z
A single large file when copying is faster than many smaller files on almost any SD card.
I sometimes use wifi sharing and just let it do its thing while doing some thing else

Using Insert Media Flv but videos takes ages to appear. Why? How to speed up loading on page?

Hi, I used to used a freeware video player but DW CS5 kept giving me error messages about it so I changed all my videos over by usng the insert>video>flv menu . However, now the videos all take anwhere from 4-10 seconds to actually appear on the web page - and they are not big files. I have placed an example here:
http://www.enhanced-learning.net/test3/test.html
I definitely have the players and scripts folders also uploaded. With my old player the video would appear on the page instantly - any idea why it takes so long with CS5 or have I done something wrong? I'd love to see any examples of embedded videos other people have done too. Thanks

Thanks, I appreciate the quick response. I think you are right and it was aserver issue. After weeks of the videos not even appearing, suddenly
they are now all working just like you said. Grrr!!!

Why do text notifications take a while to appear?

I am using an iPhone 6 that is just barely over a month old with the latest iOS update. I have not dropped my phone in any way that would damage it but I'm having issues with my text notifications. I will recieve a notification that says someone sent me a text 8 minutes or so ago but I only recived the notification just then. This problem only occurs when my phone is locked. And another issue I'm having is that I will open up a text conversation and new texts will not appear until a couple of seconds have passed (I can deal with this but if anyone has solutions they'd also be appreciated). If anyone has any solutions to these inconveniences please help. I'm considering taking the phone to Apple as soon as I get a chance. This is my first iPhone and I love it but I am fairly upset with this problem.

Sorry

Import panel takes ages to appear when uploading cards

Hi all,
I have a 17"macbook pro I7 with 8GB RAM, running the latest LR 3.3 and OS 10.6.6, I shoot people and use this machine mainly on location to import cards, check focus, edit images and metadata. Back at the studio I also have a macpro 2.93 Ghz Quad-core with 12GB of Ram.
I have used LR since it was launched and recently upgraded from LR2 to LR 3. Everything seemed to be working fine, however in the last couple of months I have noticed that everytime I put a card in the laptop, allthough it apperars instantly on the desktop and in Bridge, it takes exactly 40 seconds for the import dialogue panel to apperar. This is very odd as it used to be instant, even on V3.0. I use lexar and Sandisk card readers via the USB port, the same readers and cables I used before this started happening. There are 3 USB ports on the 17", i've tried them all and also a FW800 reader with the same result.
On the Macpro the import panel still pops up instantly when inserting a card. I have also tested 2 other laptops, one a 13" brand new intel core duo ( 10 seconds to load) and an old macbook pro (instant).
This delay it's actually quite annoying when you are shooting people at speed as it slows the whole workflow down.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Thanks for your help,
Igor

Yes, it's happened to me. At first I thought it was the problem with Norton (when Itunes does an update, it always messes around with my antivirus, so I have to go into norton and reset it up).
However it seems a genuine program error here - I run two ipods on my itunes and have done for a yea, my personal one of 4g and the family one of 160g. When i plug in the 4 g it takes itunes about a minute to locate it, but when i plug in the 160g it takes about 10 minutes or so, so the bigger the ipod, the longer delay if I'm right.
It all works after the delay, but everything freezes until the ipod is located and it's really frustrating.
Hopefully it's something apple can quickly rectify on the next update.....
