Computer takes too long o shut down

Recently noticed that sometimes when you turn off the computer takes a long time I have to keep the power bottom tight until it shuts down sure that , my question it is a hardware isues??? . Please can you tell what to do.
Thanks,
Oscar Velasquez

You shouldn't have to use the power button. When you choose Shut Down from the Apple menu in the upper left corner, how long does it take? How long have you left it trying to shut down? It isn't instant.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

Mac OS X takes very long to shut down because processes are still alive

Hello everyone!
Since the latest update to Safari 5.0.1, iTunes 9.2.1 and Trackpad Update, the system takes unusual long to shut down.
The screen gets the usual blue, a spinning wheel appears and is there for about 20-30 seconds.
Before the updates, it was about 5-10 seconds.
When booting in verbose mode, it tells me at shutdown that some core system processes (among them launchd and other boot stuff) are still alive (or, as the OS says, "PID XXXX is still alive").
The only thing to workaround (which isn't the solution for forever!) is to run "sudo shutdown -s 0" on the console.
Is there a way to avoid this waiting for still-alive processes?
Thanks in advance!

I have just restored my hard drive and now I too have this same situation. Have you been able to resolve it. If so would you be good enough to tell me how.
Cheers,

Why is it taking too long to shut down

all this while it just took 2 sec to shut down ... thn suddenly my mac book pro retina takin more thn 10 sec to shut down... plizz someone help me!

MacBook Pros do not run Mac OS 9.2.x. They may run Mac OS X 10.9.2, which is an operating system that is at least 11 years newer. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to verify your Mac OS X version.
10 seconds is still not bad, but any software you may have installed may slow it down. Also, remember, Macs do not always quit applications when you close their last window. Go to the menu for the application to Quit it. Use command-Tab to verify nothing else is open other than the Finder, as that is always open.

What happens when you boot as follows?
1. Boot into Safe Mode. See Advanced startup options (including safe mode).
2. Boot normally into another user account. If necessary, create one.

How slow? Make sure that you have your disk selected as the startup disk in System Preferences>Startup Disk.
There are a couple of other things you could try if this doesn't work...

AME CS6 rendering with AE and Pr takes too long

Hi Guys,
Need some help here. i have rendered a 30 secs mp4 video with 1920 x 1080 HD format 25 frames w/o scripting in AME for 4 hours!
Why does it take too long? I have rendered a 2 minute video with same format w/ scripting but only spare less than 30 minutes for rendering.
Im using After Effects and Premium Pro both CS6 and using Dynamic Link in AME.
What seems to be wrong in my current settings?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

This may be a waste of time, but it won't take a minute and is something you should always do whenever things go strangely wrong ............ trash the preferences, assuming you haven't done it already.
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

Drill Through reports takes too long

Hi all,
I need some suggestions/help with our drill through reports. We are using Hyperion 11.1.1.3 and the cube is ASO.
We have drill through reports set up in Essbase studio for drilling down from Essbase to Oracle database. It takes too long (like 30 mins for fetching 1000 records) and the query is simple.
What are the changes that we can do to bring down this time. Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Glenn,
We tried optimizing the drill through SQL query but actually when we run the directly in TOAD it takes *23 secs* but when we do drill through on the same intersection
it took more than 25 mins. Following is our query structure :
(SELECT *
FROM "Table A" cp_594
INNER JOIN "Table B" cp_595 ON (cp_594.key = cp_595.key)
WHERE (Upper(cp_595.*"Dim1"*) in (select Upper(CHILD) from (SELECT * FROM DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL') WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1 START WITH PARENT = $$Dim1$$ CONNECT BY PRIOR CHILD = PARENT UNION ALL select Upper(CHILD) from DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL' AND REPLACE('GL_'||CHILD, 'GL_IC_', 'IC_') = $$Dim1$$))
And ----same for 5 more dimensions
Can you suggest some improvement ? Please advice.
Thanks

After updating my iphone 5s to 7.1 ... the keyboard is crashing and it takes too long to respond, what is the solution? if there any link from which we can download the original 7.1 firmware for A1533 Version?

After updating my iphone 5s to 7.1 ... the keyboard is crashing and it takes too long to respond, what is the solution? if there any link from which we can download the original 7.1 firmware for A1533 Version?

Restoring the iPhone will reload its firmware.
Plug the iPhone into (the current version of) iTunes on your computer.
Let it sync. Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

Why ipad 2 / iphone 3g resetting takes too long?

Im trying to reset and delete all content of my ipad and iphone 3g by choosing the selections about resetting on the general. Why it takes too long to reset my ipad / iphone 3g? It is almost 2 days my ipad are on the apple logo / looping circle appears on it and still im waiting for my ipad / iphone 3g to return to main screen. What will i do? Thanks...

There is no other way except to restore the iPad - plain and simple. You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
You will need to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

11gR2:crsctl, srvctl commands takes too long to respond

Hi,
I have successfully configured *11gR2 two node RAC on ASM on Win 2008 64bit.*
Everything work very well like connecting to database, querying database. Node restart also takes acceptable time to go down & restart the clusterware & database.
But when I execute crsctl status resource -t or srvctl status database -d db_name commands from any node takes 10-15min to give output.
They give output & everything completes successfully but takes too long to respond.
The questions are:
- If everything works fine then why crsctl, srvctl takes too long to respond?
- what could be blocking these command to gather clusterware and database status on all nodes?
- what additional info would be helpful that I can provide?

I dont have this issue either. are you auto starting mpd?
that time is how long it is up in other words you opened it then closed it at that time
I'm not sure if you are referring to me or not, but in my screenshot I am timing the lag in ncmpcpp by pressing 'q' in the terminal during the delay, so it quits ncmpcpp immediately after the lag. The lag is longer for ncmpc because the interface loads before the program connects to mpd, so I have to stop it manually immediatly after it connects.
WonderWoofy wrote:I don't have this problem... if you are starting it as a systemd user service, maybe there is relevant information in the journal.
The journal did not reveal anything relevant sadly. I have now tried launching mpd without systemd, and the lag remains. I have also noticed that a small mpd programming project I am writing also experiences the same lag when it tries to connect to mpd.

Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

Hi
The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
To post the full stats from your router
for home hub - 192.168.1.254
Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
Click on More Details and then post the results.
Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

Takes too long buffering on you tube, cannot see some videos at all.

Takes too long buffering on Youtube, cannot see some videos at all. Have gone out of youtube and come back in again. have restarted the computer several times. Have come back later and tried again with the same results.

I don't have this problem - but a bunch of other people have youtube problems since upgrading to Yosemite.Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

Longer to shut down

before I installed Lion my computer use to take 5 seconds to shut down, loved it, now it takes 15 seconds, not complaining but wondered if this is normal.

Please note that I managed to fix both the boot and the shutdown time by uninstalling some applications not currently compatible with Lion, WITHOUT A CLEAN INSTALL!
I tried the cache cleaning trick using iTweax, but the shutdown time was still horrible. My boot time was close to 1min30
I read in another thread that someone deleted old applications not compatible with Lion and it solved their issue, so I tried it.
I uninstalled Mac The Ripper, which was not compatible with Lion (the app was "hidden" inside a sub-folder and it was missed during my day-1 Lion cleanup of all the apps bearing the "not compatible" icon). I uninstalled Gimp! which I don't use anyway.
Note: I erased all related files using the very good App Cleaner software which finds and lets you remove everything related to an app.
I tried to shutdown again, though I had Skype and MSN Messenger on, and those slowdown the shutdown process with all the questions "are you sure you want to terminate this chat session". Still it was very fast, no beach ball and no hiccups.
The boot time is now 52 seconds up to the login screen. This used to be my shutdown and boot time together before Lion.
Running Mid 2009 15'' Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz, 8GB RAM and 640GB 5400rpm Toshiba HDD.
