Videos take a long time to open after the last quicktime update

Hey guys
Since I've downloaded the latest quicktime update videos are taking a very long time to open. They used to open instantly and now they take about 40 seconds (negligable difference if quicktime is already open or not).
This is with a Powermac G4 1.25Ghz with 2GB RAM running 10.4.10 and all latest updates.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I'd suggest tracing system activity when this long runtime issue occurs, so you could know where this time is spent (db access ? etc) ... a plain SM50 call in parallel could do the trick if runtime is long enough !

  • Apple control - Front Row takes a long time to open through the Menu Butto?

    I am using a ManMini as a HTPC. Front Row is being used as my Media Choice. When I click the Menu Button Front Row may not open or it may take a very longtime to activate.
    lister

    If you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a brand new user, log out and log in as the new user, how long does it take the new user to open Front Row with the remote? If it's just as slow, you have a system-wide issue. If Front Row opens quickly for the new user, then your original user may have a movie, song or picture that's taking a long time for your Front Row to access. Let us know what you find out from this troubleshooting step.

  • My mail program takes a long time to open and the whole system takes almost 2 minutes to shut down at night What should I do?

    Hi, Recently my system has been slow to boot up in the morning & slower still to shut down at night.
    Also my mail program is slow to open. I do have emails archived but my trash is always deleted & I'm trying to keep my "sent" folder not too full
    Occasionally any programs I'm working in (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc) takes time to process whatever task I'm doing. (This happens maybe once or twice a week, not often)
    thanks

  • My mac takes a long time to open an internet page

    My mac takes a long time to open on internet page and it's not the connection as all our other apple products in the house are working fine. Any suggestions?

    Here are some troubleshooting steps.
    Does this behavior persist if  you:  (1) Try it from a different user account, e.g., Guest?  (2) Try it after starting up in Safe Mode ? (3) Try it after turning off all Safari Extensions? (4) Turn off all virus scanners, system cleaners, and third party optimizers?  (5) Delete all malware, (6) Temporarily disable all internet plug-ins?  (7) Make a burnt offering to Zeus?

    firefox problems after installing version 4.0

    Hi Hussein,
    Thanks for your prompt reply and my apologies for the substantial delay in mine.
    We did some trouble shooting since then.
    We repolved the problem by choosing a pdf format instead of the seeded RTF format. This opened up the output in a couple of minutes because the pdf formatted output was about 50mb vs the RTF output which was 300MB+.
    But the ORIGINAL problem still remains. The xml tagged .out file is still huge with a size of nearly 1gb!
    My earlier questions here now boil down to the following questions.
    Q1. Is the huge XML Publisher's .out file expected in R12?  It really is massive!  The text file from 11i was just 19MB
    Q2. Oracle does not seem to offer the option to format the output in plain text ...We see PDF, RTF but no plain ugly text.  I would expect plain text file to be much smaller.  How can we get the output in plain text?
    1.Yes our stats are upto date. Let me emphasize that we do not have a performance problem with the report itself. The issue we are having is opening up the output.
    2. The authentication error is resolved. It was because of formatting the reports incorrectly.
    3. We did not use the usual tuning procedures such as tkprof because we do not have a performance problem.
    4. We checked the OPP file and there are none. I reiterate, The report does complete without issues. It is just that the output takes a long time to open up in the RTF
    I will appreciate if others  can share any experiences if you have faced this situation and how you have handled it.
    Thanks in advance for your time!

  • Lenovo Services/P​rogram takes a long time to start after bootup

    It seems like Lenovo services take a long time to start after boot up is completely done.
    My Bootup time is less than a minute (0:51s), but my lenovo services (Power Manager Gauage, Lenovo Services in the Sidebar, have th ThinkVanatage Button work, and most annoying of all is having access to my network card to change networks) takes about 2 minutes.
    Is there a reason why this is taking so long?
    I've uninstalled and installed the lastest Lenovo Interface Driver, and a lot of ThinkVantage/Lenovo software and drivers.
    Any ideas?

    No response?
    Anyone else on T400 notice this?

  • Hyperion Financial reports-taking long time to open after migrating to 9

    Hi,
    Financial reports version 7 are migrated to system 9.
    Problem that we are facing now is that reports take ling time to open.
    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?

  • AP Trial Balance - File is massive and takes a long time to open up

    Hello,
    We are upgrading from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3 and are running into some serioud problems with the Accounts Payables Trial Balance report in Detail Mode.
    1. The Report takes upwards of 10 minutes to open up - and in many cases does not.
    2. On further research we see that the report output file is > 500MB whereas comparable 11i Trial Balance files are only 19MB.
    3. We tried running in various formats Text, PDF, HTML with no luck.
    4. In fact HTML and Text formats gave “Authentication failed” errors when we tried to open the report.
    My questions are:
    1. Why is there a such a large increase in file size? Is this expected going to R12?
    2. Is there a way to speed up the opening of the large files or create smaller files? - (summary mode, and smaller date ranges are not options as per business needs). Even a 2 month date range give the same problems.
    3. We noticed that the XLA_TRIAL_BALANCES table has 36,521,125 records...LARGE.
    4. We compared the ap_liability_balance records between 11i and R12. We have 29,171,382 in 11i and 37,769,034 in R12. But this is expected as we purge regularly in 11i production and I don't think this difference (about 30%) in the size of the tables should cause such a large difference in the size of the report files (nearly 2000%!!!).
    5. Why are we getting Authentication failed errors? Just for these reports?
    Of course we opened an SR, but you know how SRs go :-) and this is a time critical project with our deadlines nearing.
    Any help or pointers from the experts here is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
