How to make boot up faster?

Hi guys. Is there a way to check out all of the processes of my Mac book pro is running on start up?
Perhaps I would like to turn some of them off and I don't need all of them to load on boot and stay running.
is there a way to view these processes or get a list of them? And then stop them from loading on startup?
thank you in advance for any feedback on this

Is there a GUI that I can run in OS X that shows me what processes and applications/programs are run/loaded on boot or login?
Thanks

In the utilities folder, run Activity Monitor.app
It will show you everything that is running.
You can also start the computer and press Apple-V which will start the computer in the verbose mode, showing you everything you normally don't want to see.
After booting, you can also run the following terminal command
dmesg
which will show you similar startup items.
One of these should help you.

  • How to make my program faster?

    I have a program which produces two elements array. In normally the program ends in microseconds, however when I organize my program to send the array as a data to DAQ.mx write and the array will be the voltage output from my NI USB-6012 DAQ, my program ens in 40 seconds. How can I make my program faster? Is there any solution?
    I have attached the normal program and with DAQ.vis.
    Attachments:
    step step 1.vi ‏15 KB
    step step 2.vi ‏34 KB

    Program 1 runs 5 times and program 2 runs 41 times per loop. the total number of inner iterations is 25 vs. 1681 for a 67x difference.
    Program 1 and program 2 have no timing information, thus spin at a undefined rate.
    Program 2 does single point hardware IO and also has no timing information. The speed will depend on the hardware.
    Running at a hardware dependent rate is not a good idea in general, because the speed will vary with every change in hardware and is not deterministic. You don't even know what occurs first at each iteration: the input or the output.
    If speed is important, what you should do is use an improved variation (Yes, use FOR loops and ramps!) of program 1 to generate the final data array, then do a single "Nchan,Nsamp" IO, running input and output synchronized hardware timed off the same clock. This way you can select any acquisition speed up the the maximum supported by your DAQ hardware. It will be fast and at an exactly defined rate as it should be!
    Try it!

  • How to make materialized view fast refresh parallel

    We have Oracle 11.2.0.1 on Redhat 5.2. We use a dozen of fast refresh materialized views in our application.
    From time to time MV refresh takes longer time than the refresh interval.
    One of way to improve performance of MV refresh is to make the refresh parallel, e.g. http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_materialized_views_refreshing_performance.htm
    - Use parallel DML - Oracle author Michael Armstrong Smith notes "I've done parallel materialized view refreshing
    on tables recently and improved the load times considerably. Rather than having one load which took 2 hours,
    I run 4 parallel loads, one for each partition. The length of time for the whole process is now determined by
    how long the biggest partition takes to load. In my case, this is 40 minutes, with two 30 minute loads and one
    20 minute load.  Overall I am saving 1 hour 20 minutes. I can now add further partitions and do the same thing.
    My only limitation is the parallel loads because I don't have unlimited processing power.
    {code} My master tables are not partitioned, but think parallel will still better than non-parallel.
    Now the question, how to make refresh parallel. According to the paragraph cited above, Use parallel DML appears doing the job. Can someone  confirm that.
    We use {code}
    alter materialied view MV_OFFENSE parallel REFRESH FAST start with sysdate next sysdate+ 1/24;
    {code}to schedule refresh. Does the parallel clause here parallels query the MV or refresh the MV?
    Any other way to make MV refresh parallel?

  • How to make boot disk for MacBook Pro with Mavericks pre-installed

    Hi -
    I recently bought a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which came pre-installed with Mavericks (10.9.0).  I want to make a bootable USB disk of the system software, and have successfly used DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) to make the USB boot disks for Lion and Mountain Lion.  In those cases, however, I was running earlier versions of the OSX, and downloaded the new OSX version -- Lion and Mountain Lion -- from the App Store in order to make to make the disk.  In this case, however, Mavericks was pre-installed, and I was unable to download it from the App Store (an alert said that it couldn't be installed on this computer... presumably because it was already installed).  I would apprecite any suggestions as to how I can create the boot disk without the ability to download Mavericks.  Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide.
    Shelly

    Open App Store and locate the full installer download file (5.29 GBs) for 10.9.1. Download to your computer.
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
        2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
        3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • How to make Snow Leopard fast again?

    When I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard about a year ago, I was amazed at how much faster Snow Leopard was. Everything was so fast and responsive.

  • How to make JScrollPane scroll faster?

    Hi,
    I have tried to develop on a program to zoom in or zoom out the image�a graph which is plotted using the method draw from Graphics2D. In the program, I am given about 1000 points, which are supposed to be plotted one by one suing the draw method, which later form a graph.
    I have put the JPanel, where the output of the graph is displayed, into a JscrollPane to enable scrolling of large image. However, when I am trying to scroll the image, it happen to me that the scrolling is extremely slow. When I click at the scrolling bar to scroll down the image, it take some time before the image is scrolled down.
    My doubt will be is there any method to make the scrolling on the JscrollPane to become faster?does this involve double buffering?
    Thank you.

    This may not be the answer to your problem, but I thought I would throw it out there. One reason it might scroll slowly is because by default the JScrollPane only moves 1 pixel for every click of the scroll bar. You can adjust this by having your JPanel implement the Scrollable interface.
    Here is a code sample -
    // implement Scrollable interface
    public Dimension getPreferredScrollableViewportSize()
    return getPreferredSize();
    public int getScrollableBlockIncrement( Rectangle r, int orientation, int direction )
    return 10;
    public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportHeight()
    return false;
    public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth()
    return false;
    public int getScrollableUnitIncrement( Rectangle r, int orientation, int direction )
    return 10;
    Whatever number you have your getScrollableUnitIncrement and getScrollableBlockIncrement methods return is how many pixels your component will scroll for each click of the scroll bar.
    Give this a try.

  • How to make cube retrieval faster

    Hello,
    I have an ASO cube with 12 dimensions. Only one of these dimensions is large (60K members) but there is a fair amount of data being loaded (5M). All of the dimensions are stored, with "scenario" being label-only.
    When using the Spreadsheet add in, it takes at around 10 seconds to drill down on dimensions.
    Any tips to make it faster? I've tried changing the pending cache limit but it still is slow.
    Thanks

    the best thing I can say would be to increase the aggregation .
    depending on how the dimensions look adding interm levels could speed up if they are large flat dimensions

  • How to make clips play faster/slower?

    Hi, I recorded a road while driving on it. I want to use it for the beginning of a video but I don't want it to play at real-time speed. I want it to move faster than real time. How can I make this happen on imovie? how do I compress the clip (about 10 minutes) into something more like 5 minutes? I don't want to cut the clip, I want to play the whole thing but I want it to just move faster. It would also be cool because this way I could also learn to make things go in slow motion.

    How can I make this happen on imovie?
    If you want to do this from within iMovie, use the previous version. Basically, playback speed can be modified by adding your video to an audio clip having a duration or selected segment duration for which you want the video to play and scaling it to the duration of the audio using the QT Pro "Add to Selection & Scale" Edit menu option. You can also reset the playback using the fee JES Deinterlacer utility. (Search the forum for URL to Karsten Schlüter's site area where he has documented many common "Tips and Tricks" for use with iMovie '08.)

  • How to make photoshop go faster, faster!?

    Right now I'm using a Mac G5 dual 1.8hz PowerPC with 2GB RAM, PS 7.0. My typical files are 400 - 500mb and can have as many as 500-600 layers. Pixel dimension is 5400 x 3150 pixels and after opening my lower left shows 64.9m/1.42 G. It takes a long time to open one of these files- about 3-4 minutes and even longer to save, about 4-5 minutes. Also while the file is open zooming and panning can be choppy and slow, with the monitor lagging behind with the refresh. I can even hear the hard drive going when zooming sometimes. Question is how can I speed up the opening, zooming, saving? I have on order a new Mac Pro 2.93 quad core with 16gb RAM, PS CS4. What else should I put into this to speed everything up? Thanks!

    this is very helpful thank you.
    I'm putting in the maximum ram possible for this machine- 16GB. I don't know how to improve that.
    I see it is also important to have a dedicated scratch disc, with nothing else on it. Adobe even recommends using a RAID array for this, so you are really talking about at least 2 drives just for the scratch disc. I was wondering if you could use an SSD for the scratch disc, like an Intel X25-M 80GB? These drives have very fast read speeds, although the write speed is not as good.

  • How to make boot camp install my windows 7 ISO without a Cd? Broken optical drive...

    So yeah, my internal optical drive is dead and i am not paying for a repair nor an external drive.
    Boot camp keeps prompting me to install a windows 7, but tough luck for me doing that. I found a tutorial online that suggests modifying the info.plist file of Boot Camp Assisant like so:
    once all of the above is complete you can edit the 'info.plist' file in TextEdit (or another editor, like Xcode if you prefer). what you want to do is add a string to let 'Boot Camp Assistant' recognize your machine like it would a Macbook Air. use the 'System Profiler' Hardware Overview to identify your "Model Identifier" (i.e. mine is: MacBookPro5,2). using this, you can write your model into the file using a line like:
    <string>MBP52</string>
    this string should be placed in the array section found at the very end of 'info.plist'. it is recommended to add it to the end or beginning of the array ..for me it needed to be at the beginning.
    you will know this is successful by opening 'Boot Camp Assistant' and finding all three tasks are now available.. the first choice being "Create a Windows 7 install disk".
    I tried doing just that, but my macbook's System profiler ID'ed it as MacBook 5,1 so my string looked like: <string>MB51</string>
    Go figure, i'm not seeing the new options to install windows ISO to a external usb drive...
