Disk Utility taking long time to open directory with disk images

Hi and thanks in advance.
I have a couple of CD and DVD disk images stored in a folder (and organized into several sub-folders) on a FAT32 volume.
The problem is that recently, Disk Utility takes forever to display the content of any of these folders when I select Open Disk Image from the File menu. The Select an Image to Attach dialog remains empty and the beach ball spins. After a very long time (10-15minutes? I've never had the patience to time it.), the contents will display, if at all. During this period of virtual inactivity, the program is unresponsive.
Since the FAT32 volume is also accessible from my Bootcamped Windows XP OS, I tried doing a disk check and a defragment but it hasn't improved my problem.
Any ideas?

HI,
Make sure your MacBookPro has sufficient free disk space to read the disk images.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

  • Outlook 2010 takes a long time to open emails with embedded images

    Hello,
    outlook 2010 on windows 7 both with latest updates applied. outlook is in online mode and the option "Don't download automatically in HTML  email messages or RSS tiems" is not selected.
    it takes a long time to open the message with an embedded picture: at 6 sec to open an image size of 75kb
    When I open the same message in OWA no delays at all.
    I am using Exchange server 2010 Sp2 and I already created new outlook profiles for the users affected. no changes.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Aprylmsx,
    According to your description, I recommend you refer to the following methods to troubleshoot the issue:
    1. Please check if there is any anti-virus software on your client PC, if yes , please disable it and check the result.
    2. Please check if there are any 3rd party add-ins in your outlook, if yes, please remove it and check the result.
    In addition, How many users encounter this issue? a lot or just only you?
    Best regards,

    Can anyone suggest how to improve the performance .
    before migration to system 9 financial reports was working fine but now it is taking a long time to open

    Are they taking a long time to open in the studio or in the workspace?
    There could be lots of reasons:
    Have there been server changes with the migration?
    Have there been any changes in dynamically calculated dimensions?

    How much memory do you have in your machine?
    Are you running VMWare? How much physical (not logical) memory do you have allocated.
    What else do you have concurrently running on your machine?

  • MacBook Air taking long time to open folder

    Running Mountain Lion when opening folders though finder or saving a file to a folder though an application, seems to take a long time to view contents of a folder. It evetualy popualtes but sometimes takes five to fifteen seconds regardless of view I am using.
    Any thoughts apprciated.

    The reason I asked, is that until I updated to 10.8.2, my shutdown was just a few seconds. For some unknown reason, the shutdown is routinely in the 15-20 second range now.
    I have tried disabling every known startup application, deleting the LaunchDaemons, and LaunchAgents folder contents, and selectively quitting every non-essential process. I have also disabled Spotlight and Notification center. All was to no avail.
    What is left is the operating system itself. I reinstalled the OS, mind you, a repair install. Still a slow shutdown.
    I suppose what is left is a clean reinstall, with a Setup Assitant restoration of my apps and data. If that doesn't work, I suppose I'll just have to sit and wait for 10.8.3, hoping that Apple is working on it.

  • PI - ESR taking long time to open

    Hi,
    We have PI production system 7.1 on Linux, and we got issue that the ESR link is not getting opened.
    It takes huge time and after that it thrown 500 Internal server Error.
    http://<hostName>:<port>/rep/start/repository.jnlp
    It was working before and in quality system also it works.
    The JRE version is proper.
    Kindly suggest
    Thank you, Regards
    Girish

    Hi,
    Thank you for reply.
    It is a unix server on which PIP is running.
    And from the same browser I can open the ESR for quality system properly.
    So it seems the issue is not related to local browser of JRE too.
    Kindly suggest.
    Thank you, Regards,

  • Work book taking longer time to open

    Hi,
    We created a workbook and embedded one  input ready query in it.  The query when executed separately takes 1 minute to load.  But when the work book is opened for the same selections, it takes 3-5 mins. 
    There is no Macros written in the workbook and no functions are called while loading work book.
    What might be the reason for this.  Is there any way by which we can improve the performance?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Seetharaman

    Hi there,
    Open BEx Analyzer.
    Click on global settings (before opening the workbook) and mark the option "Repair workbook while running" (option available since BEx Analyzer support package 5 and above)
    Now open the workbook (it will still take the 3-5 minutes).
    Now save the workbook
    Remove the option you have just marked before ("Repair workbook while running").
    Close BEx Analyzer and test it again.
    Diogo.

  • Report Background Engine Taking long time to open

    I am seeing this problem. When I run a report (in forms 6i), I get a "FRM-41211: Integration error: SSL failure running another product". The Report background engine doesn't come up right away... looking at the system process the RBE starts using almost 50% of the CPU and takes about 10 min to come up. If I run it on my local machine, just running the executable (c:\oracle6i\bin\RWRBE60.EXE) it comes up right away... on this users it doesn't. We think it may be something blocking it... anyon ehave any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hello
    I recently had that same problem with FRM-41211 error. It turned out eventually that the culprit was newly installed HP Deskjet printer on that employees computer. When I removed the printer and uninstalled its driver reports started to work normally. Hope that helps.

  • WebI Report is taking too long time to opening

    Hi All,
    When iam trying to open the WebI report in Infoview , it is taking long time to open and refresh,
    Please suggest me a solution.
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards,
    Mahesh

    Hi,
    As the issue you are facing is that the webi report is taking too long to open and refresh, I would recommend the below steps.
    1. Check whether the webi report is set to "Refreh on Open" if yes probably you need to uncheck, save the report and open it again.
    2. Try to run the same query in the backend database and see if it returns the data.
    3. Try to run refresh the report for a smaller data selection.
    4. make the report run on a specific webi server, and when refreshing have your BOBJ admin monitor that process to see if the process is going in a hung state, using High memory etc.
    5. restart webi process and run again
    Thanks,

  • Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

    Trying to track a problem for a user.
    Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
    But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
    she has a lot of pricelist excel files.  there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
    the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
    the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
    is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

    Hi  carphuntin_god,
    According to your description, my understanding  is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
    How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
    Here is a similar thread you can have a look:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff0c5306-5300-4010-a760-c4cca320b6fc/excell-file-taking-long-time-to-open-and-edit?forum=officesetupdeploylegacy

    If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
    General Syntax:         
    http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
    For example:              
    http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
    For more information:

    If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click  the link in the excel file,  you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
    http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
    For example:
    http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

  • Webi report takes long time to open

    Hi All.
    We have created few reports in webi and we have used variables in these reports.
    But while opening that reports into BI Launch pad browser, it is taking long time to open. e.g. 5 to 7 min or more.
    Please help to resolve this issue.

    Hi Anand R,
    A couple of questions from my side:
    1) Does the webi report contains any chart
    2) Are webi reports which are slow only on a single .UNX
    3) How about the network.
    4) Are you using IE
    5) Are you in 3.x or 4.x
    Could you try any of the below:
    1) Increase Tomcat memory pool to 4096Mb
    2) Stop and restart Tomcat once.
    3) Try with other browser
    4) Use something like Fiddler to understand the network speed
    5) Delete cookies in the browser
    Try the other options told by our SCN colleagues aswell..
