Why startup takes 2 minutes

since upgrading to yosemite, when I turn on my mac and enter my password it now takes 2-3 minutes before showing my desktop?
it used to come up in seconds
how to fix this?
thanks

i also noticed that anytime i press play the bottom left corner says calculating playback, which causes a slight delay in the audio playback. and it also a week ago kept making recorded audio delayed when it was played back. im using windows 7 on an HP pavillion G7 laptop. my setup goes this way:: NEUMANN TLM102 mic> FOCUSRITE ISA ONE PREAMP> PRESONUS EUREKA CHANNEL STRIP> PRESONUS AUDIOBOX USB INTERFACE> LAPTOP
Usually i dont have a problem, but lately everything is just delayed and i dont know why. ive inserted sum screenshots of the settings im currently using

Itunes startup takes minutes on win xp

Dear forum readers,
As soon as I installed iTunes v6 on a Win XP (Windows XP Home Edition, Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600, Packard Bell NEC, Intel Pentium IV ~2390 Mhz) I experienced very long start up delays with the software.
The thing took minutes to start up, even with no iPod attached! After extensive searching of the apple discussions I uninstalled Quicktime and iTunes. The long startup delay continued to appear, but if you quit iTunes and restart, it starts up much faster.
does anybody have an idea what the fault is?
pIV, 2,3 Ghz Windows XP see above

hi tomasio!
I also removed the tasks related with iTunes from my AV-Guard Processlist, so that should not causing the startup-delay either.
hmmm. let's just pursue the security software angle a little further (basically, this is just an elaboration on Katrina's initial thoughts about your case).
i've seen similar symptoms reported in some strange cases where security software wasn't affecting the processes, but rather was interfering (apparently) with reading/writing/generation of the itunes library files in the itunes folder:
What are the iTunes Library files?
so let's try an experiment. turn your antivirus and/or antispyware off, and try launching and shutting itunes down again. does it behave a little better under those circumstances?
keep us posted.

**Tech explanation why BACKUPS take long, how to make it very short, etc*

I noticed my backups to increase quite a bit over the last few days. I also noticed so many posts on why are backups taking so long, what can I do (only solution given is to click x or modify so that backups are not done, etc). Well to answer all those that want the "real" answer, I decided to do a few minutes of research and share what I've learned. I have seen nothing at all on google or anywhere else about the recommendations I'm suggesting, but from my experience I think it will answer 99% of all the backup threads on this site.
All your backups are being stored in:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(Your Name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Vista: C:\Users\*Your User*\Appdata\Local\Apple Computer\
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
The main directories are GUIDs that are based on the version of the iphone, so you may see more than one folder. Make sure to view the date last modified of the folder to make sure you go into the latest one. Order the files inside this directory by date modified. Here you can see how many files are being updated ON EVERY BACKUP. The older ones are not being backed up anymore because you probably uninstalled that app on the iphone (apple doesn't delete old unnecessary backup files that won't be ever used - bad programming #1). They are encoding all these files and inside the files in base 64, so you can decrypt them to view the contents, but you don't really need to and I don't have to show how for the solution to this. Open a file in wordpad. Within the first few lines you'll get an idea of what the backup is.
So here is the solution....sort these files by date modified. My biggest single file was 29,582KB!! looked inside and it's the WeDict app. There are other files from WeDict, but obviously for me if I want fast backups I need to get rid of this app. A few other top files I found are awesome apps on the iphone that have awesome trailers, intro movies for games, etc. Well guess what, they backup every single game intro, trailer, etc. So for instance, the game tap tap tap has a few m4a songs....well every one of those m4a songs are encrypted and backed up EVERY TIME (apple backups up files that don't need to be backed up which would probably reduce backup times by at least 98% - for instance, intro movies don't need to be backed up, nor app songs, nor game instructions, etc because that information should be on itunes backed up separately when you install an app, not when you do backups and it should be smart enough to update that folder when a new version is out....and only do backups on files that can change like high scores in apps, notes, etc - bad programming #2).
So anyway, you can see which apps are taking the most amount of time. Obviously if you remove every app on your iphone, it will backup fast, but some of these apps are shockingly huge. Problem here is that you can have 1 file or 100 files associated with 1 app. You could have only 2 apps installed on your iphone and your backups could be slower than a person having 30 apps just because some apps take a ridiculous amount of more backup data and time and what makes this even worse is every part of the data is encrypted, which I will talk about below (which doesn't need to be). Only time that file is not going to get updated is if it's deleted from your iphone.
You don't HAVE to use base 64 encryption. Come on now, especially on apps? They could lighten the encryption and it would be much faster backups because it has to decode and encode every file now. You are overencrypting these files so huge programs take forever backups. (Bad apple programming #3 don't over encrypt when speed is a necessity on something that doesn't need extreme high security).
As a developer with a computer engineering degree, to also make it even faster than what users were experiencing with backup times prior 2.0. They are obviously not tagging each portion that needs to be backed up individually. Lots of software companies do this to speed stuff up. For instance if you have Kaspersky antivirus with the defaults, the first scan will always take long, but every scan afterwords will be fast because instead of rescanning that file for a virus, it just checks to see if the checksum has changed and if so rescan that file, so most of the time the scan will happen fast unless there has been a period of time that you haven't done one that updates the checksums. They could do something very similar with this. So basically even if you changed a few things on your phone, the backup should be only a few seconds because only those few changes would be signaled to be rebacked up. (bad apple programming for backups #4). This process can make backups be from 98% faster to 99.98% faster....meaning having a backup only take 4 seconds even with 100 apps installed. Actually coding this one thing would make it extremely fast, but would take the most programming time. You can even make an algorithem where for the whole backup process it would just have to read one file that it would check checksums and then tell it to modify 1 or 2 other files and that's it as opposed to backing up (for me almost 5,000 files) some being several MB in size.
So all the above should give apple suggestions on how the can speedup backups by 99.98% faster than how they are doing it now and then anwers all those questions why it takes longer, what needs to change, how can I shorten my backups (this way you can find out what apps are taking the most time), etc.
The problem here is apps will continue to grow, become larger, more trailers, movies, songs embedded inside apps, etc. This problem is only going to grow. The additional problem is that they can say they have tweaked the backup programming to make it faster, just like they did in 2.0.1, but backups seem slower because there are newer better more awesome apps out!! Well that's why it doesn't look like it's faster but it's slower! They will keep doing this as opposed to solving the root of the problem by recoding the whole backup foundation as I'm suggesting from above. Backups will forever take longer and longer and longer and longer. That is what you have to look forward to. My guess is that they are not going to fix the foundation of how backups are done anytime soon having a good idea how they are doing this one. They would have to do a massive overhaul of the whole backup code, which basically they would have to admit that all the time coding this way was a waste and they see no profit from it and we deal with it just by pressing x sometimes. We can complain all we want, but for awhile if you don't want long backups, this is the real solution. What's funny is writing this email took much more time than figuring out what apple is doing, but I think this will help many apple iphone users. Let me know what you guys think.

Supposedly apple made backups slightly faster on 2.0.1, but like I said in my original posting above...it will get worse and worse because of the apps.
Just to verify and you could do this yourself. Right before you plug in to sync and it auto starts the backup process do this...go to the folder where all the files are as mentioned above, sort it by date modified. Add a refresh button on the toolbar. Then start the sync/backup, keep refreshing and you see the files getting updated. There are even temporary files apple's backup process creates that you don't see that keeps adding to a file, so even if you see one file updated, you might see it updated a few times until the whole backup for that file completes.
Here are my stats:
For me this time it took 27 minutes (earlier it took 2 minutes, but like i said with updates to apps, more apps, depending on types of apps, your computer speed, etc it will increase.
For me: In 27 minutes, it updated 1707 files with a total size of 82.8MB. There are a ton of computers that are much faster than mine that I'm sure would cut the minutes down. I have 6 pages of apps, but like I mention above, that doesn't matter because you could have one app that has 400 files with a large size. I would be interested in others posting their results, maybe in this format:
27min 1707files 82.8MB Pentium4HT Antivirus and other large programs running in background.
If you are interested you can even download program that will decrypt these files so you can view them in more detail...for mac, for instance, there is something like this: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/iPhone-Applications/Tools-Utilities/iPhone-Backup-D ecoder.shtml It allows you to backup and modify. It may help you decide what is taking your backups so long and you can decide if it's worth having that app installed versus not having a good backup. You can also pick out you sms backup file, contacts backup file, etc for those really interested in having backups of those specific files.
Hope this helps clear up things for everyone.

BI 11G : logging in into reporting services takes minutes before landing

All,
logging in into em/console works relatively fine....but when I want to log in into analytics...it takes minutes before I'm logged in.
I have the same problem when I want to log in into Administrator or Catalog manager (online)
Installation is on Linux (32bit) - client tools on windows.
At this moment I have no clue what can cause this problem. Anyone already noticed the same issue or has some good tips?
Txs!!
A.

Hej Nico,
it was a pretty stupid one...
I migrated my rpd...and didn't change the connection pool settings correctly to point to my new db.
That was already a problem of course ;-)
And because I had some initialization blocks defined in the rpd, it took a while before they turned an error....
and that was the reason why it took such a long time before I could log in into the reporting environment or a client tool.
Once I had disabled the init blocks, it was no problem. And after I changed the connection pool correctly everything was solved.
Hope things are more clear now.
Txs,

How long does a HANA instance startup take?

In a previous thread Lars Breddemann wrote:
Data stored in row-store tables will be loaded into the main memory immediately on instance startup.
Data stored in column-store tables will be loaded upon first access, except when it has been specified that the table should also be loaded during startup.
Even if the persistent storage is located on SSDs, doesn't that take a really long time to start a large HANA database?
Is there already some rule of thumb about how long it takes in real life to start a large HANA database?
Or can you simply say that HANA doesn't impose a bottleneck (or other significant delays) but startup primarily depends on reading the data from persistent storage and thats it.
In my imagination, many HANA customers would want to load almost eveything from column storage during instance startup. So imagine a 1 TB HANA database reading 1 TB from SSDs and also creating indexes for column storage during instance startup. What is the order of magnitude for instance startup: Seconds, minutes or hours?
Regards,
Mark

Hello Mark,
here's some more background: Tables are either in row or in column store. Row store tables are loaded into memory during startup. Column store tables are set as a default to be loaded on demand i.e. the system loads columns when necessary. You can change the preload behaviour for column tables using ALTER TABLE (see http://service.sap.com/hana > SQL Reference).
Since most data will be stored in column tables, actual startup time is indeed pretty quick. If you want to avoid a performance hit on first data selections, you could create a simple SQL script that executed a LOAD statement your most critical tables and run it once after start up and when it fits best to your requirements.

Firefox.exe process takes minutes to stop!

After using Firefox for a while, I try to stop it and it takes MINUTES to stop. CPU usage on firefox.exe goes to 99 percent and my computer is basically unusable for minutes until the process stops. I've tried to solve this problem many times over the past year and none of the solutions out there work.
CPU usage at 99%. Memory usage over 100MB. Usage starts to drop to 70-90MB and stops, then it starts increasing again, then goes to 50-70 MB, then starts rising again. After MINUTES, it will finally stop. It completely consumes all computer resources and even takes a while to start the process monitor with CTRL-ALT-DEL!!!!
Computer: Dell laptop, XP SP2, Firefox 3.6.10.
I've seen MANY post here and elsewhere with people having this problem. Why won't you fix this??!?! NEED HELP!!! Don't want to go back to IE!

Can someone help me to find a way to make my firefox show itself faster after you click on the icon?

Firefox add-ons take some memory. This amount varies depending on the add-on.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

Dialog with a lot of XML content takes minutes to open in IE7.

Good day to all.
This is my first week with JDeveloper ADF, so, please, be forgiving. I have a page, which has this code
<af:commandButton text="Show XML" id="cl2"
action="dialog:showxml" useWindow="true"
windowHeight="200" windowWidth="500"
partialSubmit="true">
When clicked, this one is invoked:
<f:verbatim>
<jsp:include page="xml_original.xml"/>
</f:verbatim>
The xml file is 500KB. The dialog pops up very fast in Firefox, but in IE7 it takes minutes to open. When opening it in the page, without the dialog, the performance is fast.
Please help.
Thank you.
Edited by: user608849 on Sep 10, 2009 10:21 AM

Does it open fast when you load the xml file manually in IE (without using it from the ADF / dialog)?
something like http://<host>:<port>/..../xml_original.xml ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.
