Long-time  start up and batteri charge problem?

Hi,
I bought the new Mac-air 2014 (11 inch) yesterday. It seem have problem: the start up time is quite long up to around 20s. The battery reduce quite fast about 5 hour and I charged for one night, but the battery increased only 20% (Mac still working and also iCloud)
So has any problem with my Mac?

Going from Lion back to Snow Leopard is not as straight forward as it should be.
Do you have a backup of your Snow Leopard iMac disk before upgrading to Lion? If you do, that is the simplest way to go back to SL. If not, then, there is no simple way to do so.
A number of discusions on this forum address downgrading to SL from Lion.
Before you proceed, however, consider whether you have a need for iCloud synchronisation, a Lion only feature, and also consider future updates that will be Lion only.
I would also look at the iMac hardware configuration and see if it is optimised for Lion. Do you have enough RAM and free disk space to run Lion?
How long have you been running Lion? I found that the speed of Lion improved over a matter of days, as if Lion needed to settle in. Has spotlight finished indexing your disk? Have your repaired permissions in Disk Utility? Look at Activity Monitor for processes that are consuming CPU.
I would only go back to Snow Leopard as a last resort.

  • 56 day Time Machine backups. and 27" iMac problems.

    56 day Time Machine backups. and 27” iMac problems.
    I have a problem and its driving me to mad. I wish to backup my iMac to a separate hard drive, When I start TimeMachine backup there is a window that appears ,I switch on Time Machine , select my Verbatim separate hard drive which I have partitioned into three section , one called time machine backups, and click ‘backup now’ the process starts by stating ‘436GB of 500GB available’, Preparing Backup’ and this stays there for ages and then when it does start to backup states backing up 234 byts of 28.3 GB . I left my IMac on for fifteen hours and it still read the same , 234 byts of 28.3 GB also at one time showed ‘time remaining’ as 56 Days. It will not allow me to reformat the Verbatim and will not allow me to eject the backup hard drive. On disc repair it says things are OK, disk partitions are OK. Could I have damaged the Verbatim Hard drive when I previously forced a shut down as it was taking so long and would not eject theVerbatim hard drive. Also Just recently it has been impossible to shut down the iMac as ‘Messages’  is working and won't even force quit. I switch of at the mains.     Please help.
    Equipment.
    iMac 27” 3.2 GHz intel core i5 [four months old]
    Running OS X Yosemite
    Verbatim [SamsungHD]  [three years old]
    Partitioned in Three , Formatted as Mac OS Extended [Journaled]
    connected by USB 2 Cable
    Thanks.

    First you should NEVER EVER partition a Time Machine or any other backup drive for anythings else but backup. This is likely why you are having issues, buy yourself a high quality EHD such as an OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro, format it correctly and make that  your Time Machine backup HD.

  • New LUN Takes A long Time To Format and Errors Out

    Good afternoon,<o:p></o:p>
    I have a Hyper-V Cluster composed of 4 nodes and these nodes are able to access multiple CSVs (14 in total). I recently requested a new LUN (LUN 15)to be provisioned
    to my Hyper-V cluster in the size of 500GB. Here is my problem:<o:p></o:p>
    1. Formatting of a 500GB LUN (with quick format selected) should not take more than a few seconds. Instead, the quick format takes about 2hrs if not longer. I have actually
    seen it go for half the day.<o:p></o:p>
    2. Once the formatting has completed (no errors), taking the formatted LUN offline freezes the Computer Management screen and shows the status (Not Responding). This
    will take place for 30 minutes or less and show that the LUN has been taken offline.<o:p></o:p>
    3. In the Failover Cluster Manager, detecting the disks takes about 15 minutes. Once the available LUNs have been detected I can add the 500GB LUN to the Disks screen
    without any problems.<o:p></o:p>
    4. While in the Disks screen, adding the LUN to the Clustered Shared Volumes takes about 5 minutes (too long).<o:p></o:p>
    Already seeing that there is a problem, I went ahead and used the Hyper-V Manager to create a 200GB vhd on the new LUN which has been added to the CSV. The bar indicating
    the progress of the vhd creation does not display any progress (no green progress bar appears, not even a tiny bit of it) and after 3 hours (more or less) I receive an error, stating that the creation of the vhd failed.
    <o:p>NOTE: The vhd shows up in Volume 9 (LUN 15) but I can only bet that it will not work, plus I would not want to work with a vhd file which failed during the
    creation process.</o:p>
    <o:p>Long story short, I repeated the above steps to see if that was a temporary problem, but it is not. The same problem occurs no matter which Hyper-V cluster
    node the operations are performed on. I would like to add, that I tested the creation of a vhd on an already configured LUN and the creation was completed successfully, and within a n expected time frame.</o:p>
    NOTE: When LUN 15 errors out, it's status shows "Failed" in the Failover Cluster Manager. This in turn, causes the re-scanning of available disks to take forever (in Computer Management) and it keeps searching. Pretty
    much, the fail of one LUN affects the entire functionality of the entire Hyper-V Cluster. 
    Errors Listed In Event Details For LUN 15:
    1. Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume9' ('Cluster Disk 5') is no longer accessible from this cluster node because of error 'ERROR_TIMEOUT(1460)'. Please troubleshoot this node's connectivity to the storage device and
    network connectivity.
    Event ID: 5142; Source: Microsoft-Windows Failover Clustering;Task Category: Cluster Shared Volume
    2. Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume9' ('Cluster Disk 5') is no longer available on this node because of 'STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT(c00000b5)'. All I/O will temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished.
    Event ID: 5120; Source: Microsoft-Windows Failover Clustering;Task Category: Cluster Shared Volume
    3.Cluster resource 'Cluster Disk 5' of type 'Physical Disk' in clustered role '4530acc9-8552-4696-b6c3-636ff8d58c46' failed.
    Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it.  Check the resource and group state using Failover
    Cluster Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet. 
    Event ID: 1069; Source: Microsoft-Windows Failover Clustering;Task Category: Resource Control Manager
    4.
    Cluster resource 'Cluster Disk 5' (resource type 'Physical Disk', DLL 'clusres.dll') did not respond to a request in a timely fashion. Cluster health detection will attempt to automatically recover by terminating the Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS)
    process running this resource. This may affect other resources hosted in the same RHS process. The resources will then be restarted. 
    The suspect resource 'Cluster Disk 5' will be marked to run in an isolated RHS process to avoid impacting multiple resources in the event that this resource failure occurs again. Please ensure services, applications, or underlying infrastructure
    (such as storage or networking) associated with the suspect resource is functioning properly.
    Event ID: 1230; Source: Microsoft-Windows FailoverClustering;Task Category: Resource Control Manager
    Any and all help will be appreciated!

    Hi AquilaXXIII,
    What server edition you are using? If you are using 2012r2 as cluster node, please install Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server 2012 R2-based failover clusters
    update first,

  • My iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

    my iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

    Your iPHone is designed by intention to shut off when there is a reason for the softwarer to believe that danger is immenent to the hardware. This can occurr if the software is running applications that have been corrupted due to all types of different scenarios. My best advice to you would be to restore your device back to default manufactures settings and do NOT restore the current backup of the IOS program currently running.
    If this corrects the problem with your device intermittently restarting you will then know you have had applications there were corrupted on your device. Once you are convinced there are no issues with the hardware of your device you then are free to begin downloading software apps that were earlier on the device.
    Good luck.

    Re: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?
    Dec 30, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to mkmichaelmk)
    Start of solution:
    I did some digging in the prefs of iPhoto and found out the following. This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
    3. Type the following (exactly as is):
    defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
    (then return)
    4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
    If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.

    Why do you need this if you are going to Oracle. Try
    removing this. It might be trying things out with the

  • When I click Add Bookmark the bookmark window takes a long time showing up and then starts appearing and disappearing.

    I click on Bookmarks in the Menu Bar. Then I scroll to Add Bookmark and click on that. Normally a Window appears allowing me to select where I want the new bookmark saved. Now this window takes a long time to appear if it ever does (sometimes I get tired of waiting). Then when I attempt to put my cursor arrow somewhere in this window, the window disappears. Then it starts appearing and disappearing when I move my cursor around.

    with installing version 7 to a number of servers in my research
    laboratory. I'm a paying client who has serious investment in
    Coldfusion through quite a serious chunk of my enterprise. I'm the
    corporate webmaster for my company, and to be honest, I'm less than
    pleased with this inferior release and seeming inability of
    Abobe/Macromedia to insure quality control on ALL apsects of their
    operation.
    I have just spent the last 3 days in a knock-down drag out
    battle with my simple Windows XP dev laptop to install the product
    for a project I'd like to work on. Similarly, a number of my
    laboratory systems have had equally interesting issues with their
    installation process and once again, equally unacceptable results
    until I arm-wrestled these systems into place.
    So... For the benefit of those who have been around the block
    like myself, I offer some of my experience:
    1. Use install disks rather than the horrid download that
    flat DOES NOT WORK from Macromedia for "tryout" of product... What
    a waste of time and effort. The effect of this has been to turn off
    many prospective customers and fans of the product. Who is driving
    the boat on this disasterous course and quality control issue? Is
    this some kind of "drive the customer" away ploy for some new
    product or platform to be offered?
    2. Followed instructions at
    http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19575
    - This finally worked IF you pay detailed attention to every last
    detail. You can "borrow" jrun.dll from another successful install
    of CF 7 if you can get your hands on the DLL or go spend more time
    learning how to extract the file as noted in some of the
    literature, which, to a paying customer, should be documented in
    detail with the article... Quit sending people on wild-goose
    chases.
    3. Once install occured for me on laptop, I had problems with
    the login for cfide/admin - The migration wizard would not let me
    go further. It always returned me back to login prompt. I looked
    into the matter further and decided to "borrow" the neo-query.xml
    file from a seasoned system and use it on my laptop to kick-start
    the final part of my install. This worked and I now can control my
    server.
    Summary: I've fought version 7 from day one. My advice is to
    abandon downloads from Macromedia on the product and go with
    requesting install disks that actually do give you a shot at making
    the product work. Secondly, realize that there may be other issues
    with the install once you do get the product to communicate with
    your server and be willing to research the issues, since, once you
    find the answers, the product actually works pretty nicely.
    Thirdly, Write letters like I am doing now to tell Macromedia/Abobe
    how you feel about this inferior and totally unacceptable
    installation procedure and to improve the quality of their download
    trials.
    Personally, I think there should be a kit made available with
    a full copy of the CFusionMX7 directory set up as a virgin and
    workable install to fix the rash of issues out there. If not
    available from Macromedia, then I'd suggest that it be made
    available on user Coldfusion forums and sites to ease the pain and
    let the bloody system work for those who just want to build cool
    things with what has always been the superior web development
    toolset.
    I love Coldfusion, but if this is the future, I certainly
    know my options with Blue Dragon and other platforms... I'd hate to
    lose my confidence in Adobe/Macromedia, but this latest set of
    issues has me wondering exactly what is going on over at the
    Coldfusion labs...
    I hope my experience and advice help others who may be going
    through the same challenges I have faced...

    Jon,
    As another long time CF Admin/Dev I second everything you've
    said here..
    I've been using the CFMX/JRun mix for years now and love it;
    but I'm always finding myself spending way too much valuable time
    looking through these boards for solutions.
    I particularly like the idea of setting up a 'kit' with a
    full dir structure, etc. - That would be a great idea for newer
    users.. I'd also like to see better commenting or readmes that
    fully explain the configuration options for all files - such as all
    of the xml files under the WEB-INF dir..
    There have been a few too many times that I've looked in the
    documentation only to have it tell me to get a book for 'advanced
    config options' - and I wouldn't consider any of what I'm looking
    to do to be 'advanced'.. thank god for Ben Forta!
