Does your Apple TV take a long time to get to the main menu?

I have my Apple TV hooked up via HDMI to a Panasonic Plasma. Everything works pretty good except for the recurring missing from devices in iTunes. A restart of iTunes always brings it back.
I'd like to know if my experience with slow start up is normal. When I switch from my regular TV output to the HDMI output for my Apple TV it takes a really long time to start up. I will get my photos that are my screensaver after about 1 minute. Then it takes another minute and a half or more to get to the main menu after pressing the menu button on the remote. Is this normal? Should it be connecting faster? If so, what can I do to the settings to speed things up.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers

it can vary depending on the TV you have.
HDMI handshaking isn't the most reliable thing (in any device).

Why does my iPad Air takes a long time to charge?

You need to provide more detail. What do you mean by "a long time?" Are you charging it plugged into a wall socket?

I was away for 9 days came home to my computer not responding. I am using the free version of AVG security and read the instructions in the Mozilla help Re: Firewalls, changing the AVG settings removing Mozilla and then adding it back in. However I checked for updates on AVG none were available and the instructions Mozilla has are for a version of AVG that I do not have. I am using 8.5 and I think the instructions were for 9.0. At any rate I am stuck, and desperately need to get this figured out! I hope that this is enough information for someone to point me in the right direction.? Your help is be greatly appreciated.

My computer also has been taking a long time to find a wireless network, up to several minutes. I often have to have it "scan" for networks several times before it finally picks it up. Is there a solution? This has been going on for many months. Other computers (PCs, iPhone) pick up the signals within a few seconds, but my Powerbook takes several minutes, even over 5 minutes sometimes.
See how many networks are listed in Sys Prefs: Network: Advance. Drag the preferred to the top. Delete any you don't really need.

If you believe your Device to be faulty...
Take a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) and have it evaluated...

Does movie download normally take a long time?

Trying to download a movie but it take a long time (been 8 hours), not sure if it the wifi speed. Any insight?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Netflix, HBO Go, ABC Tv app on my apple tv take a long time to download my videos and they are choppy, how can I resolve this issue? My apple TV is running off of WiFi in my apartment.

Netflix, HBO Go, ABC TV along with other apple TV apps, take a very long time to download the video and they are choppy when running. My apple TV runs off of WiFi in my apartment. When trying to download updates, it take a long time and then a video screen with "This Update was not Successful. Apple TV couldn't be downloaded at this time. Try again later." What can I do to resolve this issue? I purchased this apple TV in May 2013 new.

That will be an issue with the network
What is your current connection via speedtest.net?
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general -network)
Since you are in an apartment the local wifi network is more prone to interference, try ethernet

Does updating to maverick take a long time?

Does updating to Maverick OS take a long time?

When I frist installed it (not counting download time which was about 30 minutes) I believe that the actual installation time was about 50 minutes. First reading was "About 35 minutes..." I think, but, in total, it took about 50 minutes.
Your actual time may vary, depending on your machien configuration.

Takes a long time to connect to the internet when I first open an app

I bought my Macbook Pro Retina 13inch last weekend and I love it! Everything was working fine but over the last couple of days, when I first open an app, for example Safari, Google Chrome, iTunes, App Store, anything that requires an internet connection, it takes a long time to load up that first time, but after the first page has been loaded it works again fine until closing the app and re-opening it. When loading the App Store or iTunes it has even said an internet connection is required, even though my connection is fine and the other apps are still loading ok.
I first thought it was my WIFI connection but I have checked my router and everything seems fine, also my iPad and iPhone are still working fine with the internet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or can offer me a solution?

I am getting the same issue, on first starting safari the first page takes an age to load.. once it has everything is fine.
I have tried the 'Reset Safari' function but no difference. This only happens on my Macbook Pro Retina, Using safari on my iphone or ipad is fine. (I connect via ethernet too so its not a wifi problem.)
Any one got an answer to this yet?

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.

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.

Does your DW CS4 takes too long to close?

My Dreamweaver (CS4 Mac) used to take SOOO LONG to close! The more open documents the longer it took, and the past week I had about 8-10 documents open, which were at least open the week before ( I barely turn off my computer) and they closed in a flash!
I even re-opened DW and many documents, and after many hours working with them made a video of the closing windows (tabs). They closed so fast that in the video you couldn't see the windows flashing which means they happened faster than 30fps! It was like a machine gun!
I don't remember when it started to take that long to close the open documents either because it happened very gradually or because it started so back in time, but this is the first time they close that fast, and the issue is gone now. I wonder whether it's just an isolated case or there are others out there who experienced that.
Please let me know if it hapens to you.
Thanks.

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

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 !

Using Table.Join formula takes extremly long time to get results.(Why Query Folding doesn't work?)

Hi,
I built a query with 4 tables inside (load from Oracle DB and two of them are quite big, more than millions of rows). After filtering, I tried to build relationships between tables using Table.Join formula. However, the process took extremly long time to
bring out results (I ended the process after 15 mins' processing). There's a status bar kept updating while the query was processing, which is showed as . I suppose
this is because the query folding didn't working, so PQ had to load all the data to local memory first then do the opertion, instead of doing all the work on the source system side. Am I right? If yes, is there any ways to solve this issue?
Thanks.

Why does my apple tv take so long to download tv shows

Having trouble with tv shows that I purchased not downloading to apple tv. Read on one post about going into the gateway of the router and changing a setting that should make it work. We have Comcast and it said that there's an issue with Comcast and Apple tv. Never had this problem before and don't have any problems with other things like Hulu or Netflix just apple tv. Did the change recommended through the Gateway and it seemed to work that night but the following night it's the same thing all over again. Called and was on the phone with Comcast and checked the settings and they're the right settings that we changed it to the night before but for some reason it's not doing any good anymore. I've not seen any real answers to this problem. Anyone know of a sure fix for this. It's getting really annoying.

The issue is with the network. Netflix and Hulu adapt to your connection whereas iTunes content is fixed and need to load a portion before playback begins.
Check current connection, use speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.
Comcast have been known to throttle connections so you may want to look into that as well.

Very slow to delete, send, forward, circle just goes round and round and then finally does its task plus sometimes stalls and takes a long time to get mail.

It also comes up with an error message once in a while when I try to send something and won't send it but if I click send again then it usually goes out.

Check your firewall and make sure that Thunderbird has full access. (This computer has Norton 360, and the firewall blocked incoming connections)
How many folders are you storing offline? If you have a lot in your trash/spam/sent folders and it is storing offline, maybe that's slowing it down. It wouldn't hurt to check and see if your e-mail provider is somehow blocking Thunderbird.
