Downloading taking longer

My friend has a 2007 mac, and mine is a 2012 pro, and it's taking longer than normal to download any files from iTunes or the App store. Any ideas why this might be so?

ITunes movie downloads taking long time to download

iTunes has been "downloading" Transformers Dark of the Moon for 1 hr still shows no progress. I have internet connection What do I need to do?

I have been having the same issue. I am not willing to delete all of the apps necessary to make room for the update, so I plugged my phone in to use iTunes to download. I have tried it several times and each time that I plug the phone in to see if the download is going to go through, it always says at least 15 and sometimes up to 36 hours for the download. I obviously, like many others, don't have that kind of time to wait. What is going on? Are their servers that backlogged from all the requests? Why is this download taking that long? It's really frustrating!
I have thought maybe I just should wait a week and see what happens... by then they should be able to work through all the kinks.

Song and Video downloading taking long amounts of time.

I have been trying to download a 5 minute music video, and the process has taken over an hour so far. I am wondering if there is any setting I could change, or something wrong on my PC that is causing this.

I'm using a cable connection from a wireless router, and I'm getting 11.00 Mbps. the strange thing is, it's never done this before. Just yesterday, everything started downloading really slow.

Finder (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) taking long time to load contents of any directory. Please help?

In my macbook pro 5,2 snow leopard (10.6.8), Finder taking long time to load contents of any directory. Please help?
I have already tried to spotlight re-indexing but it did not help. I am hardly able to work on it, almost for each directory I browse its keeps on spinning for 1min.

Download iTunes from Apple's web site and install it. Don't use Software Update.

Satellite L735 taking longer than usual to start-up

My toshiba Satellite L735 was taking longer than usual to startup (more than a minute, usually takes 40 secs) gave it to the service centre, they said they updates the BIOS, optimised processor calculation, formatted it.
It was fine again, but the problem was back in less than a month, took it again, the person at the counter just reduced the unnecessary programs from the boot list, came back home to notice it was taking even longer to startup (more than 2 mins).
When i switch it on, its all fine i get the windows logo in no time, but after that a black screen appears and stays for about a minute and a half, then the homescreen appears, the windows startup sound thats supposed to play as soon as the homescreen appears plays about 40 secs aftr the homescreen has appeared.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi
The notebook seems to load the windows slowly because too many processes would be loaded at the beginning.
First of all I recommend downloading and installing the CCLeaner. This freeware tool would help you to clean the registry and to remove the garbage from the system.
Furthermore you should check your processes which would be loaded at the beginning.
Start msconfig and go to StartUp tab. Here you can disable no necessary and not important processes.
I dont know how many computer experience you have so be careful with that.
If you dont know exactly what the single process does, google for more details.
Removing a mark near the process will disable this you can enable this later too
Furthermore I would recommend checking your antivirus software I switched from Norton Antivirus to Avira Antivir software because it much faster and does not need a lot of hardware resources the Avira antivir is freeware software so you can install and use it for free.
Last but not least defragment the HDD to ensure faster data access
Good luck

SSRS Reports taking long time to load

Hello,
Problem : SSRS Reports taking long time to load
My System environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
Production Environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
I have created a Parameterized report (6 parameters), it will fetch data from 1 table. table has 1 year and 6 months data,      I am selecting parameters for only 1 month (about 2500 records). It is taking almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds
to load the report.
This report running efficiently in my system (report load takes only 5 to 6 seconds) but in
production it is taking 2 minutes 30 seconds.
I have checked the Execution log from production so I found the timing for
Data retrieval (approx~)    Processing (approx~)           Rendering (approx~)
10 second                                  15 sec
        2 mins and 5 sec.
But Confusing point is that , if I run the same report at different time overall output time is same (approx) 2 min 30 sec but
Data retrieval (approx~)       Processing (approx~)                Rendering (approx~)
more than 1 min                            15 sec
more than 1 min
so 1 question why timings are different ?
My doubts are
1) If query(procedure to retrieve the data) is the problem then it should take more time always,
2) If Report structure is problem then rendering will also take same time (long time)
for this (2nd point) I checked on blog that Rendering depends on environment structure e.g. Network bandwidth, RAM, CPU Usage , Number of users accessing same report at a time.
So I did testing of report when no other user working on any report But failed (same result output is 2 min 30 sec)
From network team I got the result is that there is no issue or overload in CPU usage or RAM also No issue in Network bandwidth.
Production Database Server and Report server are different (but in same network).
I checked that database server the SQL Server is using almost Full RAM (23 GB out of 24 GB)
I tried to allocate the memory to less amount up to 2GB (Trial solution I got from Blogs) but this on also failed.
one hint I got from colleague that , change the allocated memory setting from static memory to dynamic to SQL Server
(I guess above point is the same) I could not find that option Static and Dynamic memory setting.
I did below steps
Connected to SQL Server Instance
Right click on Instance go to properties, Go to Memory Tab
I found three options 1) Server Memory   2) Other memory   3) Section for "Configured values and Running values"
Then I tried to reduce Maximum Server memory up to 2 GB (As mentioned above)
All trials failed, this issue I could not find the roots for this issue.
Can anyone please help (it's bit urgent).

Hi UdayKGR,
According to your description, your report takes too long to load on your production environment. Right?
In this scenario, since the report runs quickly in developing environment, we initially think it supposed to be the issue on data retrieval. However, based on the information in execution log, it takes longest time on rendering part. So we suggest you optimize
the report itself to reduce the time for rendering. Please refer to the link below:
My report takes too long to render
Here is another article about overall performance optimization for Reporting Services:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

The ODS activation is taking long time

Hi,
We are on SAP NetWeaver BI 701 (Support Package 5).
We create a Z ODS, it will contain a lot of data (180.000.000 month-end) and we want to generate specific reports about it.
The activation is taking long time, I assume is because we checked the flag "SIDs Generation upon Activation". I am confused about this check. I really need it? is this check the only problem.
Thanks for you help.
Victoria

Hi Victoria:
If your Z DSO is used only for staging purposes (you don't have queries based on this DSO and you send the data to another DSO or to an InfoCube) then you don't need to check the "SIDs Generation Upon Activation" box.
Even more, to achieve better performance during data loads in this scenario, you might consider using a Write Optimized DSO instead of a Standard DSO, but if you decide to take this alternative don't forget to select the "Do Not check Uniqueness of Data" box if you need to write several records with the same Semantic Key.

F4 Help is taking long time

Hi All,
We are working on BI 7.0. version
In the varaible pop-up screen we have two info objects.
1. Fiscal year Period
2. JOA(Joint operating aggriment)
If u press F4 for JOA, it is taking long time to execute and finally the application is getting closed.same situation is there in RSRT also.
If i enter with out JOA the query is giving the output. Here i have to restrict the query by JOA.
i have changed the JOA peroperties in query designer.
Query execution for filter value selection = Values in master data table.......
but still the situation is the same.......
Could you please suggest any solution for this.....
Thanks & Regards,
PK

Hi Kamal,
You can set that at the query level in the query designer for each query.
1. Select the corresponding characteristic in the query designer.
2. Goto to the "Extended tab" in the properties
3. Select the "Values in the Master data table" in the "Query execution in the filter value selection.
Also see some recomendations:
Note 748623 - Input help (F4) has a very long runtime - recommendations
Hope this helps.

Update ztable is taking long time

Hi All,
i have run the 5 jobs with the same program at a time but when we check the db trace
zs01 is taking long time as shown below.here zs01 is having small amount of data.
in the below dbtrace for updating zs01 is taking 2,315,485 seconds .how to reduce this?
HH:MM:SS.MS Duration     Program   ObjectName Op.   Curs   Array   Rec     RC     Conn
2:36:15 AM     2,315,485     SAPLZS01 ZS01       FETCH 294     1     1     0     R/3
The code as shown below
you can check the code in the program SAPLZS01 include LZS01F01.
FORM UPDATE_ZS01.
IF ZS02-STATUS = '3'.
    IF Z_ZS02_STATUS = '3'.            "previous status is ERROR
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      SELECT SINGLE FOR UPDATE * FROM ZS01
             WHERE PROC_NUM    = ZS02-PROC_NUM.
      CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
      ADD ZS02-MF_AMT TO ZS01-ERR_AMT.
      ADD 1           TO ZS01-ERR_INVOI.
      UPDATE ZS01.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
my question is when updating the ztable why it is taking such long time,
how to reduce the time or how to make faster to update the ztable .
Thanks in advance,
regards
Suni

Try the code like this..
data: wa_zs01 type zs01.
FORM UPDATE_ZS01.
IF ZS02-STATUS = '3'.
    IF Z_ZS02_STATUS = '3'.            "previous status is ERROR
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      SELECT SINGLE FOR UPDATE * FROM ZS01
             WHERE PROC_NUM    = ZS02-PROC_NUM.
-- change
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
      ADD ZS02-MF_AMT TO wa_ZS01-ERR_AMT.
      ADD 1           TO wa_ZS01-ERR_INVOI.
      UPDATE ZS01 from wa_zs01.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
And i think this Select query for ZS01 is inside the ZS02 SELECT statement,
This might also make slow process.
If you want to make database access always use Workarea/Internal table to fetch the data
and work with that.
Accessing database like this or with Select.... endselect is an inefficient programming.

But still the performance is bad for this query.
What can I do apart from this to improve the performance of this query.
Please help me .
Thanks in advance.

<I have created the following indexes.
CREATE INDEX ORL.IDX_DESTINATION_RAM ON ORL.FAX_STAGE(UPPER("DESTINATION"))
CREATE INDEX ORL.IDX_FAX_STATUS_RAM ON ORL.FAX_STAGE(LOWER("FAX_STATUS"))
CREATE INDEX ORL.IDX_UPPER_FAX_STATUS_RAM ON ORL.FAX_STAGE(UPPER("FAX_STATUS"))
CREATE INDEX ORL.IDX_BUID_RAM ON ORL.FAX_SOURCE(BUID)
CREATE INDEX ORL.IDX_FAX_NUMBER_RAM ON ORL.FAX_SOURCE(UPPER("FAX_NUMBER"))
CREATE BITMAP INDEX ORL.IDX_IS_DELETED_RAM ON ORL.FAX_SOURCE(IS_DELETED)
After creating the following indexes performance got improved.
But our DBA said that new BITMAP index at FAX_SOURCE table (ORL.IDX_IS_DELETED_RAM) can cause locks
on multiple rows if IS_DELETED column is in use. Please proceed with detailed tests.
I am sending the explain plan before creating indexes and after indexes has been created.

Fwrite() and fread() of a shared FAT32 formatted file is taking long time in MAC osx Lion C program

Hi
Is there any provision or api in MAC to open a file in shared mode same as windows
hUSBdrive = CreateFile(pDriveName, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING, NULL);
we have the follwing scenario where a file is shared among two processes for read/write.one is running on Linux and the other one is running on MAC.where both the processses are reading/writing into the same memory location in the file say "X"
FAT 32 formatted raw data file which is located on the device, is shared among two processes.
One process is running on Linux device which is connected to MAC book through usb.In this linux process, the file is opened using fopen() and we have used fcntl() with O_DIRECT flag.This process continuously reads/writes data on memory location "X" in the shared file .
The other process is running on Mac which has simple c program that opens the file on the connected device i.e from usb drive and reads/writes data using fread()/fwrite().fopen() is used to open the file and FILE_NOCACHE flag is used to avoid caching.
The value at memory location "X" is updated by mac by using fwrite() and the linux process reads the memory location "X" by using fread(). Linux process is taking around 30 sec to get the updated value.
If the value is updated by Linux process at memory location "X" by using fwrite() the MAC process is also taking long time more than a minute to read the updated value by usng fread().
fwrite()/fread() on mac is taking long time where as the windows application which uses the same apis is taking msec time.
Do we need to use other api s or flags to open file?
thanks in advance.......

does any one face this kind of problem?
fwrite() and fread() takes long time?
Is there any problem in read/write to a fat32 file on MAC?

Sales order creation, standard event trigger is taking long time .

We have a requirement where we are sending data to CRM system using RFC function module. This data is sent while sales order creation or change. We have used standard event BUS2032.CREATED to trigger CRM FM in sales order creation mode. In sales order change mode, we are using custom event. In production system, our custom change event is getting triggered fine and data is sent to CRM system with small time lag of around 1 minute. But, while sales order creation, standard event trigger is taking long time ( sometimes about 20 minutes) in production system.
We tried triggering same custom event at the time of sales order creation using FM u2018SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASKu2019 as well but, still we are not able to improve performance of the event trigger at sales order creation.
Regards,
Sushee Joshi

HI,
we have written SWE_EVENT_CREATE in update task
I think instead of calling in update task simply call to function module CALL FUNCTION "SWE_EVENT_CREATE" might trigger the event immediately.. Did you try to check in this way..
OR
And I also suggest you to check the entry in SWE2 txn with respect to your workflow tempalte, may be you have enable the option ENABLE EVENT QUEUE, this could be one of the reasons.. If it is enabled please disable it (uncheck)
Please check..
