Different startup times for different accounts
Recently I have had slow startup times on my MBP. I tried adding a test account just to test to the startup speed on that account. My main account starts up fine until after the OS X load screen, then the background will load up, but it takes approx. 1 minute for the dock and the menu bar to appear. On the test account, the startup is much quicker and there is not the same lag that there is for my main account. I have recently repaired permissions and the hard drive. I have also removed all startup items for my main account. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing these slow startup times?
Try removing all those files and folders from your desktop and place them elsewhere in your home directory and see if that makes any difference. Otherwise, try deleting…
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
… and then immediately restart.

Hi
What would you say is a normal startup time for the built in ipod app? Mine take 8 seconds to start if it isn't present in memory.Yesterday, some podcast appeared in my playlist which I had deleted a long time ago. We're talking weeks here.
It was podcasts I had downloaded to the phone through wifi, and never synced to itunes.
I'm starting to suspect that there may be references to podcasts which no longer exists, or do exist but that the ipod app for some reason can't access them. I believe that the ipod app halts for 20 seconds because it's trying to locate/read these files but can't access them for some reason, then it times out.
I'm going to do a complete delete of all the contents on the phone this evening, the delete process which the phone states may take up to 2 hours, and then resync the phone and see if that solves the problem. -
Average startup time for 2012 MBP with ML?
I recently bought a brand new 13" mbp (i5 2.5ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb 5400rpm). After installing some apps and updating mountian lion from 10.8 to 10.8.2, startup is much slower now and takes around 45 sec (time period from powering on the mbp to login screen). Also apps are launching slower now. Startup was taking less than its half before updating the mac os. Is there any way to improve the startup time? What is an average boot time for similar mbp?
I ordered mine on May 17, it was shipped from the factory May 24 (China) and delivered to my door the morning of May 25 (time zones and a date line account for the fast enroute time. I ordered the 7200rpm drive, 2gb RAM & glossy screen.
So far, absolutely no problems, the unit works perfectly. -
Slow startup time for JDeveloper 9i
The JDeveloper 9i release candidate takes a long time to startup. The pop-up window for method completion is also much slower than JBuilder 5.0. And I am using a 1.2 GHz P4 machine. Is it possible to speed up the startup time (maybe by making it not load certain libraries, such as XML editor, UML editor, etc.)?
Thanks
RoshanThis is a problem caused by references to files / URLs on
remote systems which are slow.
In particular, having projects with Remote Files/URLs in them
can cause slowness.
Same for Libraries - Having too many libraries or libraries with
remote links can slow down the system.
Look carefully at your project's Libraries and be sure you are
not including everything
Also see your project and make sure the files are all available
locally.
Let me know if this is the problem or not,

Long startup time for Digital Editions Version 4.x
Hello
I've updated the digital editions at my notebook form version 3.x to 4.x
I've access to all documents from version 3.x, but the start up time for
Digital Editions is very long, approximately up to two minutes!In $DAC_HOME/CustomSQLs/customsql.xml
there is a part about analyze table:
<SqlQuery name = "ORACLE_ANALYZE_TABLE" STORED_PROCEDURE = "TRUE">
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(ownname => '@TABLEOWNER', tabname => '%1', estimate_percent => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE, method_opt => 'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS SIZE AUTO',cascade => false, degree => DBMS_STATS.DEFAULT_DEGREE)
</SqlQuery>
you can change DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE to a constant (eg 10 for 10%). However it will impact the analyses for all DWH tables. -
I have a wiki server that is bound to AD for authentication. It was upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.
Start up times for the wikid service takes over 10 minutes...
Any one else having long startup time for wiki?
here is the startup section for the wikid log:
2010-03-03 16:25:19-0500 [-] Starting

Apparently there's a bug in wikid that makes it recreate all of its user preferences at restart, and if there are a lot of users this takes a while. Bryson Gore found a way to patch one of the scripts to solve the problem (at least for the moment); if you're feeling daring, the instructions are [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2253375#10906016].

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.
Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers. -
i have an iphone4. every time i turn it on i get an old I.D. and a message saying, "Apple password " then my email address and asks for the password. I have a different account that itunes on my computer recognizes. How do i remove this from my phone?
to remove that account.
go to settings > iTunes & App Stores > click on that apple ID then sign out. -
After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?
The best thing to do would be to start over. Use Setup Assistant this time.
Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication. -
I have two different accounts with I-tunes and I want to link both purchases for my music to one account. How can I do this?
You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
My Apple ID -
i have tried this 6+ times to "How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" on my wifes mac and can not get it to work!! On my PC no problem but on the MAC it will not work, follow the instructions to the T but no go????
It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

Hey there,
During startup of my MacBook Pro, Captive Network Assistant checks 249 different airport, hotel and other misc. WiFi hotspots. Proabaly adding a good 3 minutes to my startup time. ***? This all started while I was on extended layover at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
I thought Captive Network Assistant was an iOS thing. No iOS devices in my home or office. Here's a portion of the console log during startup.

Looking at the times, I see this only takes a fraction of a second but my startup time is still much much longer than it ever was or should.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get rid of this? I deleted the Captive Network Assistant.app from my computer but the checking continues. It seems to be a rarely mentioned issue doing a web search, and nothing like this, although it's referred to in certain articles.
Really weird.
GreggI'd take another look at your startup log.
If you look closely, you'll see that all those log messages occurred in the space of 30 milliseconds - by comparison, a human blink takes about 150 milliseconds.
So while I don't doubt you're seeing slow startup time, I don't think CaptiveNetworkSupport is the culprit, per se.
Fortunately, since every startup event is timestamped, it should be easy enough to determine what task is taking the most time.
As for CNS, it's not just an iOS thing - it's standard in Mac OS X, too. I'm also under the impression (but can't confirm) that it only checks the networks that you've previously connected to, so check System Preferences -> Network -> AirPort -> Advanced -> WiFi and delete any networks you no longer use or expect to connect to. -
Any way possible to have different New Eamil alret sounds for each account
I have 4 different email accounts on my iPhone. Is there a way to have a different New Email Alert sound for each account. Most of the times I am only interested in emails I get in one or two of the accounts and if I had a different Alert for them I would know right away rather than having to go through each account inbox to find out which one got a new email.
Not at this time.

Can a machine be authorized for two different accounts at once?
My wife and I both have separate iTunes accounts. I want to share my library over our wireless network, and authorize her Macbook to use my account as well as hers so she can see one of my purchased TV shows.
To put it another way, I would have two machines authorized for my account - its just that one of them would also have an additional account.
Is it possible for her iTunes to recognize and be authorized to play purchased content from two different accounts? And would trying to do that foul anything up? Has anyone tried this?Hello, Welcome to discussions.
Apple iTunes allows you to have 5 machines per iTunes Store account to be used at any 1 time. So your Apple ID being authorized on your PC/Mac and her Apple ID being authorized on her PC/Mac would be 1 total authorization each. Then once you authorize her PC/Mac with your account and she authorizes hers on yours then you each will be using 2 out of your available 5.
