Firefox takes a very long time to open and cannot connect to any website
After updating to Firefox 3.6 and attempting to follow the link to update Flash player (the link was broken), Firefox began to work VERY slowly. I closed the browser and, when I tried to open it again, it took in excess of 30 minutes to open, which it finally did. However, while it was initially able to open some websites (google.com), it reached the point of being unable to open anything at all.
You could try to disable this feature for now by toggling this pref on the <b>about:config</b> page:
*devtools.debugger.source-maps-enabled = false

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone 4 takes a very long time to open digitally signed emails. I've tried with the SMIME settings enabled, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard and noticed a marked increase in the time it takes my time capsule/time machine to back up. It seems to spend a very long time indexing the back up. Does any one know why and more importantly is there a "fix"?
The first index with Lion takes a very long time. Could take over 10 hours. You just have to wait. You can see the progress by opening Console and entering backupd in the search box

Why is it that Photoshop Elements takes a very long time to open a png file?
Even though I wait for a very long time (minutes) for Photoshop Elements 11 to open a PNG file, the computer's process monitor shows nothing discernible going on while I am waiting.
This is on a Windows 7 machine with an Intel I7 4 core processor.I killed Firefox and Thunderbird and tried it again. Using a stopwatch, it took 5 minutes 54 seconds to open the file. In the interim the application windows were frozen. The process monitor showed Photoshop not responding. The thread analysis showed a thread waiting on splwow64.exe.
splwow64.exe allows 32-bit applications to connect with the 64-bit printer spooler service on x64 Windows builds.
I should also point out that when I exit Photoshop, it does not seem to die. I cannot restart it in the normal way. The starter software just goes away when I click on PE 11. I finally fo into the task monitor and kull the PhotoshopElements process. Then I can restart Photoshop Elements. Although after a long time since I exited PE while I was writing this post, I then just tried opening PE the normal way and it worked. Many of these items I mention are probably red herrings. -
Hello there,
I have been a loyal user of Firefox since 2005 and have never had and issue with this browser. It has been my top choice when it comes to using it in my devices along with suggesting to other people. The problem I have recently began to experience happened after updating to the newer version...4 or 5, not sure which. My Adobe Flash player is up to date and have no add-ons running that are not part of the default browser.
When I click the icon it takes a long time for the window to show up and a good minute before the homepage shows up and is functional to use. I never had this issues with previous versions so I am assuming there might be some bug causing this particular problem. Also, when I am playing games Firefox decided to stop responding and I have to force quit so my games don't suddenly slow down. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.7; I also tested opening Safari and it opened and loaded the homepage is about 3 seconds, I don't wanna have to switch unless I have to. Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)Hi Donekes,
First off I need a little more information to help with troubleshooting. You say that an error occurs when you "try to re-open the same problem app before the old session completely exits". Does the error have an error code or dialog display? It may also be possible to receive an error log. Here is a knowledge base that explains how to retrieve error logs.

If you are able to get that information then please post. Have a good day.

Illustrator CC is taking a very long time to open and save files.
I am using a Mac with the Mavericks OS. Illustrator can take up to FIVE MINUTES to open or save a file. It is becoming a waste of time as I have to work on multiple projects a day. I read about "Adobe Drive" but have not found this option on the version of Illustrator that I have.
Please help!Any update?
I found this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5839180 but have been unable to locate Adobe Drive on my system.
I have followed the above suggestions with no avail. I have only been opening files from my desktop. This issue is only with Illustrator, Photoshop works fine.
I ran a script yesterday that opens up eps files and saves them as a png, and what normally takes around 30 seconds took almost 45 minutes. I need to solve this problem asap.
Would uninstalling and reinstalling the CC suite be of any benifit? -
Not sure what details are needed.
Go to '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates''' and upgrade to ''Firefox 4.0'' which is 6x times faster than the version you have installed.

Songs take a very long time to open
Hello,
For some reason, songs that I've created that used to open very quickly in Logic Express now take significantly longer (almost 3 minutes to open one song). This only occurs with previously saved songs. The behaviour is always the same:
- I click File -> Open Recent -> song
- Garageband drumkits are loaded; the status bar stalls at the very end of loading the last kit used for nearly a minute.
- The Arrange window opens, but it is not the active window; clicking inside does not make it active.
- The spinning beach ball appears for almost 2 minutes. When it goes away the song appears to have loaded fine; playback and program functionality appear normal.
During the loading period, the Activity Monitor shows a lot of CPU and RAM usage, and one massive Disk Activity spike.
I've just recently installed some demo plug-ins (all universal). Could these be causing it? Or is this a normal load time for LE when you have multiple plug-ins installed? I'm using LE version 7.2.1, but this issue started occurring quite a while after updating so I don't think the update caused it. Has anyone encountered anything like this before?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Black | 2GB RAM | 80 GB Mac OS X (10.4.7)Thanks for the suggestions Jorge. It seems it was a third-party plug after all. Through a process of elimination I figured out that songs containing more than one instance of this plug-in made the CPU jump to 104% (I didn't even know this was possible!) in the Activity Monitor at startup, and caused Logic to have a status of 'Not Responding' (Logic's status returns to normal after the song has loaded and resources are returned to normal levels). Since it only happens with this particular plug-in I can only assume it's not a Logic issue. Thanks again.

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
Is there any way to increase the performance.Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
What we know. BOXI3.1
What we don't know.
O/S
App. Server
Hardware Spec's
ETC.
I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.
Thanks

My Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins) every single time I have shut it down. I try not to shut it down at all now because once or twice, I have got a grey screen, and then nothing. I've held down the power button to shut down again and restart How do I fix all this?
Start up with your built-in Recovery disk by holding down the Command and R keys when starting. Open Disk Utility from there and use it to REPAIR your disk (you've already verified it and it came up with errors).
With any luck, your problems will be solved. While I was there, I would also repair permissions.
Good luck,

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording. -
