Hi there!
do you test other browsers?
i suggest to make a clean install of newer version of Firefox like v8.0.

  • It's taking way too long for my messages to load.

    Starting on Tuesday this week (10/14) it is taking way too long for my messages to load from my Gmail account. Once the message finally shows up in the Inbox, it's taking up to 10-15 min for the message to load where I can actually view the message. I'm going to have to move to another email application if this can't be resolved which is very unfortunate as I've enjoyed using Thunderbird up until now.

    I guess I'm at least happy to know it's not just me. I've had to abandon Thunderbird for now. I guess I'll keep an eye out for future updates.

  • Installing OS X on a new hard drive taking way too long?

    I switched out my old 250 GB hard drive that shipped with my MacBook Pro for a new 640 GB WesternDigit drive. I'm trying to use a Mavericks installer USB to install on my newly formatted hard drive, but it's taking way too long - I mean, I left it going overnight (about 7.5 hours), and when I came down, it wasn't even half done. Is there anything I can do here? I'd like to use my laptop. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

    Do you have a internet connection? Even with a USB installer that if good and functioning properly you need an internet connection to Authenticate the install with your Apple ID.
    If your old drive is still functioning you can connect it to your Mac with a SATA to USB adapter and use the Recovery HD on that original drive to reinstall Mavericks on the new drive.
    If the drive is no longer functioning and you have no way of getting to the Apple internet download for Mavericks then you will need to start with an install of the original version of OS X that came on your Mac when new then update and or upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then use the Mac App Store to reinstall Mavericks. There is not other way to do this. So save yourself some time and trouble and start fresh.
    If your original drive is still functioning and it had Mavericks installed on it you can also CLONE that drive to the new one once you connect it to your mac with some type of SATA to USB adapter or enclosure.
    If the Mavericks USB installer you have was made from a Mac that came with Mavericks pre-installed on it that will not work on your Mac.

  • Slideshow Taking WAY too long to load

    I have a slideshow posted at
    http://olyrents.com/slideshow.htm
    My client is saying it takes too long to load, and I am
    finding that it is loading all of the photos first before you can
    scroll through and view them. It's just not functioning properly.
    I wonder if someone could look at the actionscript and give
    me any suggestions? Maybe there's something else going on?
    I have attached the script from the original fla file.
    Thanks!

    That adds up to somewhere in the realm of 5MB, which isn't
    going to be a quick load time, though it might be visually workable
    if you separate the loading from the viewing.
    One thing you might consider is doing away with the preloader
    visual. With 65 images being interupted by 65 preloader screens, it
    kinda defeats the potential aethetics of the images and may lead
    one to think it's taking a long time to load them as a result.

  • JDBC Connection taking way too long

    Hi,
    I have an odd problem which has just started to happen. I am creating a very simple JDBC connection to the MS SQL Server database using the Microsoft JDBC driver. This has always worked for me in the past and has never caused any problems. Now, however, creating a connection to my database is taking about 20 seconds! This is usually a sub-second operation. I have tried to narrow down the cause, but everything I have tried has failed. Here are all the things I have tried so far:
    1. Using a different JDBC driver (several, including the ODBC bridge)
    2. Create a test app which just has my connection code and run this from different machines on the network under different JDKs
    3. Re-installed by SQL Server database
    4. Connected using IP address rather than machine name (in case it was a DNS issue of some sort)
    5. Connected using different login accounts
    6. Vertified connectivity using telnet (port 1433)
    7. Verified connectivity via ODBC in an ASP page
    If I telnet to the SQL Server service I can connection without any delay. I can also connect immediately using an ODBC connection via an ASP page, so I don't think it's a problem with my database. I just seems that connectivity from Java land of woefully slow. I have never had this problem before, it's only started happening recently. The only thing that has changed recently is that I signed up for a new ADSL provider, but I can't see how this could have any bearing as all the machines are internal and connected by a 100Mbps router!
    Here's the code I am using to test...
    long current = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<server-ip>:1433;User=<usr>;Password=<pwd>", null);
    System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - current);
    connection.close();This gives me times of about 20 seconds.
    Help!

    You are right.. but the fact that:
    a) I can telnet and connect instantly
    b) The jdbc-odbc bridge connects immediately
    .. tells me that the network is ok.. at least for native functions. The only consistency I can find is that native (windows) functions connect without any issue, but pure Java functions experience problems. It may well be an issue with my network, but it seems that the issue is isolated to the Java environment (guessing here).
    I tested this theory by simply opening a socket connection from Java, but has not problems (connected immediately).
    I tried switching on the debug messages in the DriverManager (DriverManager.setLogWriter(writer))... this didn't tell me anything.
    ... The ONLY thing I can think of trying is disconnecting from my ADSL router and trying a simple cross-over cable from one machine to the other.
    Thanks for your help though.

  • BUNDLE_EXECUTE TAKING WAY TOO LONG TIME. PLEASE HELP

    Hi Experts,
    Please see that after we ugrade our SEM 4 to SEM 6 along with BW 3.5 to BI 7, I am performing Post Upgrade Testing in Sandbox.
    In this process when I tried executing a Global Planning Sequence in Back Ground by Right Clicking the GPS I wish to run and selected Execute PS in Background Option.
    But when I am looking at it's status in Job overview, it is running for ever. I still wonder that how come it is taking so long time and I have no clue.
    The same GPS when I tried executing the ssame way in DEV and QA servers where the Upgrade is still not happened it is not taking more than 80 Seconds.
    So Kindly guide me through this issue. Highly appreciate your valuble inputs.
    Thanks and Regards,
    BIP

    Hi ,
    We are facing the same issue in our new parallel systems (SEM 3.2 to SEM 6 along with BW 3.1 to BI 7). Please let us know how you solved the issue.
    Our Planning Sequence has just one copy function.
    The same GPS when I tried executing in old systems in SEM 3.2 and BW 3.1, it is working fine.
    Any solution?
    Thanks,

  • OSX installation (and reloading images) taking way too long

    Hi everyone.
    I've noticed a problem lately: installing OSX (either my original Tiger DVD or my new Leopard DVD) is taking way longer than it should. The same thing also happens when I try to revert back to an older disk image.
    I tried installing Leopard yesterday and it said it was going to take 5 hours. Initially I thought it was because the disk I was using was partitioned, so today I have wiped the disk completely, restored it to one partition, and disconnected all my external drives and all but the primary internal ones. That seems to have dropped the install time to 3 hours.
    The first thing I did yesterday was try to restore an older image of my Tiger installation. That one was about 60GB in size and, even after 8 hours, the installation had not predicted an actual remaining install time, but from the progress bar, it looked like it would be at least 2 days.
    Why in the world would this be happening and has anyone run into it before? All the system checks I ran the other day seemed to indicate things were fine. So am I missing something?
    Thanks.
    -N

    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the HDs.
    Run DU and repair the HDs if needed.
    It's also possible that your optical drive is dying and/or your Tiger CD and Leopard DVDs are dirty or scratched.
    A typical Leopard install takes under 1 hour. Anything over 2 indicates some major issues.

  • Query taking way too long

    Hello,
    Can somebody please help.
    I am wanting to change this query so that it does not take too long. How can I do it please?
    select count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
    from tel_nos t, account a
    where t.tel_type = 'S'
    AND t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
    AND SYSDATE BETWEEN t.start_date AND NVL(t.end_date, SYSDATE)
    group by t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
    having count(*) > 1
    Thanks in advance.

    Tuning is a science not a parlour guessing game. It's hard for us to diagnose the problem you have here as you have given us almost no information. For instance, are you using rule based or cost based optimizer? How big are these two tables? What indexes do they have? What percentage of rows are you expecting the query to return?
    Tuning is such a big area that it's hard to know where to begin. I suggest you start at the Oracle docs. Chapters 1, 4 and 5 will set you going.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76992/toc.htm
    Having said all that you may well find this runs faster:
    SELECT count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
    FROM   account a, tel_nos t
    WHERE  t.tel_type = 'S'
    AND    sysdate BETWEEN t.start_date AND nvl(t.end_date, sysdate)
    AND    t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
    GROUP  BY t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
    HAVING count(*) > 1
    /I leave it to you to work out why (it's nothing to do with clearer layout).
    Cheers, APC

  • Shuffle taking way too long to sync

    after updating to itunes 8.o, all of the three shuffles that use that itunes library take forever to sync-even one song or podcast. what happened?? does anyone know how to fix this??

    Even though the Shuffle is listed as USB 2.0 compatible it only seems to sync at USB 1.1 speeds. I've had a nano and a shuffle and the nano syncs WAY faster than shuffle (no conversion to 128kbps AAC is taking place)

  • Importing in iphoto 6 is taking way too long!

    I am having problems importing photos from my Nikon coolpix 5100 . When i first purchsed my imac it imported quick and easy with iphoto 6 and my camera, but now i am waiting just to import 48 photos. It comes up saying would you like to import 48 and i press import. IT finally imported after 15 minutes. Why did it take this long?

    Have you tried using a USB card reader? Saves wear and tear on your camera ports, plus less risk of data loss if the camera shuts down during transfer.
    Other than that, try reformat the card using the camera - but, of course, beware that reformatting will erase the card.

  • Safari is taking way too long to download small files

    Hello! So, recently I've been noticing that when I download relatively small files (around 5-10 MB) Safari is taking 15 minutes to download them. I wanted to know if there was anything I can do to speed things up, as up until this point, the browser had been downloading these files in seconds.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Alishadarling ! i suggest clearing safaris cache. i know that can really slow it down. if that does nothing download Firefox just to test download speeds. if both of those don't work go to http://www.speedtest.net/ it will tell you your internet connection speed if it rates at 1-2 MB/s then you have slow internet. if it is in the 15-100 range then try updating to mavericks its free and see if it does anything. thanks, TMNTTurtleman

  • Slideshow on iPhoto is taking way too long to export...

    I created a slideshow of about 1,200 photos on iPhoto with a slide duration of 13 seconds and an HDTV aspect ratio (16:9). When I tried to export the slideshow i noticed it took an excessive amount of time. I attempted to export it 3 times, all of which I had left overnight for the task to be completed, and when I checked on the project in the morning I saw that it had only gotten halfway through the process but it was stuck on "saving slideshow" for the rest of the day. I've checked numerous websites and Google for help but found no answeres. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there a problem with iPhoto?

    I think that a 1200 shot slideshow is too big for iPhoto to work with (and might also prove a challenge to an audience too )
    I think you'll need to use a dedicated app for that job, and make sure you have lots and lots and lots of free disk space as the scratch requirements for that will be enormous.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.
