After update, iTunes takes over 30 minutes to start up

I updated iTunes to 10.6.3.25 a couple of days ago to the latest version, and now it takes over 30 minutes to load. I click the iTunes icon on my desktop and get the mouse spinner for about 2 seconds, then it disappears. During that time, I can see in task manager that iTunes.exe using the about 25% of my CPU (i3 550) and over 100,000k of my 8GB of RAM. After it finally loads, I plug in my iPod and iTunes gives no indication that it sees it at all. Windows sees it, but iTunes doesn't. My question is, what can I do to fix this? I've already went into programs & features and went to changes and hit repair on each of the apple programs I have on my computer and that changed nothing, and I also tried this.
tl;dr iTunes takes forever to load and iPod doesn't show up in iTunes

UPDATE: After having had my iPod plugged in for TWO HOURS, it has finally been detected by iTunes.

JDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start

Hi,
I have windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit JDK 1.7. My jDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start, even the previous versions took similar long time. I have McAfee running on my system and have 8 GB RAM and more than 100 GB HDD on my C drive. I tried playing with the tuning parameters as mentioned in few blogs, but nothing seems to help.
Please help.

Indeed, McAfee caches what it has previously scanned. I've had different versions of McAfee where this has been, and hasen't been a problem.
It's pretty easy to tell on Windows if McAfee is the culprit. Open the Task Manager and watch is McAfee active (consuming CPU) during the whole process of opening JDev.
If so you're going to have to work with your IT department to get exemptions for JDev put in place if it is.

WebAccess takes over 5 minutes to start servicing

Everytime the GW8 Linux server is reboot, WebAccess would take over 5 minutes to begin its service.
Further examining the logs found this on /var/log/apache/error_log when the server starts running after a reboot:
[Wed Jul 23 09:56:32 2014] [error] (111)Connection refused: proxy: AJP: attempt
to connect to 127.0.0.1:8009 (localhost) failed
[Wed Jul 23 09:56:32 2014] [error] ap_proxy_connect_backend disabling worker for
(localhost)
[Wed Jul 23 09:56:32 2014] [error] proxy: AJP: failed to make connection to back
end: localhost
[Wed Jul 23 09:56:33 2014] [error] proxy: AJP: disabled connection for (localhos
t)
The above pattern keeps repeating everytime a connection comes... and automagically disappears after a while... WebAccess then starts running...
Any clues???

This is an apache issue where part of it is looking for its proxy engine.
What distro/version of distro are you running? Is this an OES box?
Is anything else using that port? (Possible conflict)

Retina MBP takes over a minute to start up

Just received my rMBP over a week ago and started to notice slow boot up times of over a minute ehich seems too long for an rMBP with flash architecture.
I've already tried the following:
Removed all unwanted login items
Chose correct drive in Startup Disc
Reset PRAM and SMC
Reinstalled ML(not a clean install)
My shutdowns are quick(2-10sec range) but can't figure out what's causing the sloooow start up. After pressing the power button and get the gray screen and Apple logo, the spinning wheel shows up. I timed it at about 1min 5sec until the wallpaper and menus show up.
What is causing this and is there a way to get the super quick start up times other people are getting without having to do a clean install of ML?

No external devices connected to my rMBP.
@Shooitst007: I ordered 16gb of RAM so it had to be custom made and sent to me from China. I don't really want to wait another 2-3 weeks to get a new rMBP. Plus I bought Apple Care just in case. My last option before turning it in to Apple would be to wipe the SSD and do a clean install of ML.

Firefox takes over one minute to start. Tooooooo long

How can I get firefox to start up in less than 60-80 seconds

Firefox takes a long time to start up
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/firefox-takes-long-time-start-up
Check and tell if its working.

Dashboard takes over a minute to start

I don't use DB much, and only have a few widgets, but when it starts, it takes TOO long to get going. I only have the default weather and a shipping tracker for internet connections.
And of course nothing else works until all is updated.
Ideas?

Try some basic repairs and see if that helps.
Use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

IMac takes over 5 minutes to start from power off

processor 2.5 ghz core i5, 4 gb 13333 mhz ddr3.
when the computer is turned off it takes a long time for the apple logo to start when i power on. version is 10.9.4

Boot up in Verbose Mode, Cmd-V at the startup chime. Verbose mode will show you the entire boot process as it's happening. Look for where it's hanging up. Might have a camera ready for this as you won't be able to do a screenshot.
Another thing to try is to open Console Utility, in Utilities, go to System Log and enter "BOOT_TIME" no quotes in the filter field(string matching). Note the time, then clear the filter field (string matching) and go to that time in the log, note the time stamps of everything after to see where there are unusually long entries.
Note, if the system log has been cleared, you might not see the latest boot up. There are archives of previous ones in /var/log, also in Console. Scroll all the way down to see those.

Firefox 27.0.1 takes over 10 minutes to start !

And when it does start, it's unbearably slow !
Firefox seems to monopolize the disk per the access LED on the front of the Dell
this on a Dell b120 laptop, 1.5g memory, win xp sp3
This just started yesterday with 27.0.1
tried 27.0.0 & 26 - neither helped
tried disabling the plugins, no help
tried running junkware removal tool, no help
tried adding more memory, to a total of 1.5 g from 1g, no help
safe mode, no help
didn't try a reset because it takes so long to get firefox to start
For now I'm using Chrome (IE8 also works) but would prefer Firefox.
BTW, almost nothing else can be done while Firefox is starting/running
so usually end up killing the firefox process with a ctrl-alt-del

Start you computer in safe mode. Then see how long it takes for
Firefox to load.

My new iMac 27" 3.2GHz takes over 5 minutes to start up

I have restored Mavericks and migrated my apps and data from a Time Machine backup. once it starts it seems to go OK but the number of messages in console is frightening. Could it be a hardware fault?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

After updating iTunes and iPhone 3gs AppleMobileDeviceService.exe initializes and takes up 50% of CPU

After updating iTunes and iPhone 3gs AppleMobileDeviceService.exe has been taking over 50% of my CPU. When i attempt to sync my iPhone iTunes hanges on backing up. I have uninstalled all the apple software and reintalled it. This fixed the problem until QuickTime updated. Immediately following the update Apple...Services.exe went haywire agian. Any help?

Thanks wjosten. I've now been through all this, and there was a lot of old 3d party phone stuff to remove.
However, I have not progressed really. Any other thoughts on this please?

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance

After updating iTunes, old library is gone

After updating iTunes, I now get a message that tells me that my Shuffle is linked to another libary, and asks me if I want to erase my Shuffle and link to the new, empty library. When I say no, neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes that the Shuffle is connected. I do not want to erase my shuffle and start over. And what about the songs I had purchased that are in the old library? I can see an iTunes 4 Music Library file, and files for the songs I purchased on iTunes, but can not open or import them. What gives?

Theron: It's not too big an issue. Windows and iTunes have gotten a tad confused as to what is in your library. The following link on How to recreate your Library will sort you out.

Itunes taking over 1 minute to load

Hi,
I have over 1500 songs in my itunes library. It used to load really quickly, but it seems the more songs I put into the library the longer it takes to load now. It takes over 2 minutes from clickling on the icon to itunes loading. Is there something I can do to make this quicker. My PC is brand new. It has over 1gig of memory and dual processor, so it isn't the PC which is causing it to run slowly. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks DAWN

hi Dawn!
hmmmmm. first check to see if either your qttask.exe or ituneshelper.exe have been disabled on startup:
Background processes installed with iTunes 6 for Windows
to do so, head into your MSCONFIG, and make sure that the are both checked in your startup items tab.
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
if they were unchecked, check them, restart the PC, and try launching itunes again.
any improvement in itunes startup performance then?
love, b

IWeb takes over 10 minutes to load

When I try to load iWeb it take over 10 minutes to load. Anyone else have this problem? Can I stop it from loading iPhoto along side >?

Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
Click to view full size
Launch iWeb and see if you can add photos from iPhoto now. What iWeb uses to see the photos in iPhoto is the AlbumData.xml file that is created in the iPhoto Library package. If the above doesn't work try the following:
1 - close iPhoto.
2 - go to your Pictures folder, select your library package and open it as shown in this screenshot:
Click to view full size
3 - locate the AlbumData.xml and AlbumData2.xml file and move them to the desktop.
4 - launch iPhoto which will recreate those files.
5 - launch iWeb and try again.
A last suggestion is to reapply the iLife Media Browser Update and the iLife Support 9.0.3 update.

After update, iTunes takes over 30 minutes to start up
