How can i quicken the booting process

I have a MacBook Pro 17 with a 17 inch monitor, a Mid2009 model.
The startup-process takes longer each week - now I've reached a time of 4,5 minutes until I can  start working.
I've installed Mavericks, and have used under 20% of the 500GB harddrive.
What can I do?
I look forward to any help, as I have tried
- SMC Reset
- PRAM Reset
- Clean Install
- used Onyx
- used Washing Machine
- checked the harddrive: it's OK
- repaired the access priviledges...
Cheers
Alex

stock machine meaning before you make any changes, which you did by restoring data from time machine
think of it this way, restoring from time machine brings back all the junk we just cleaned out by doing a fresh OS install
so to troubleshoot, reboot holding command r, use disk utility to erase then drive then choose install OSX BUT do not restore from time machine yet
let the machine run for about 15 minutes (spotlight needs to index) then give it 2-4 restarts and you should see MUCH better response times

  • Every app install results in the "waiting" mode on my home screen.   How can I complete the install process?

    Every attempted app installation results in the "waiting" mode icon on my home screen.   How can I complete the install process?   What am I missing?

    Hi,
    1) Forget downloading the application from the device, and instead download it through iTunes and sync to transfer the application to your iPhone / iPad.
    2) Other way is: Go to Application Settings> Store and tap above the Apple ID to sign out. Restart your iPhone / iPad, go back to Settings> Store and sign. Tap the icon that was waiting to update the application.

  • How can I view the boot volume permissions?

    How can I view the boot volume permissions in the Terminal and/or Single User Mode?
    I have tried: 'ls -l /Volumes' but this appears to only work for the non-boot volumes. I can test this by 'sudo chmod 777 /' followed by 'ls -l /Volumes' but the change is not reflected by the new list.

    I prefer to have my bootable volumes as follows:
    drwxrwxr-x
    I see no point in allowing others to write to / and sticky here often gets in my way. Can you see anything wrong with this?
    I couldn't say, as I let Mac OS X do what it wants with the / root directory. I don't know how sticky can hurt, as you need to have elavated privs to do anything in root anyway.
    But if it is working for you, have fun. Just make a note to yourself somewhere that you have made this change, so that if something stops working, you can take this change into consideration. And if this change does not cause problems, but does something useful for you, you can use the note to remind yourself that you need to re-make the change when installing a new system. So take notes on your changes. It will make your life easier in the future.

  • How can i view the Streams process through 10g OEM

    I have successfully configured OEM on Oracle 10.1.0.3
    My question is:
    How can i view the Streams processes and queues so that i could monitor its functionality.
    In 9i Java Console OEM I was able to monitor Streams using the <Distributed> tab but I don't find any such option in 10g. Please help.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Raj

    There's a message on the Database Administration page of EM10g.
    "TIP      Use the Enterprise Manager 10g Java Console to manage Streams, Advanced Replication, Advanced Queues, XML Database, Spatial and Workspace."
    At present there is no way through the EM10g Web Interface, and I understand the Java version which comes with 10g doesn't contain any 10g new features.
    So I am still using OEM 9.2 in addition to EM10g
    Thanks,

  • How can we stop the Collapse process in process chain.

    hi
    guys
             How can we stop the Collapse process in process chain.if any one know's plz tell me
    your regards
    suresh

    Hi,
    All the above post duly suggest a the methods we usually follow to cancel a collapse request i.e sm37 ---> Cancel without core,but these solution only applies if we are running collapse as a seperate variant in the process chain, in case its running as a part of change run the all above process will lead to the locking of the target.
    In that case if you could "lock the target" even before the collapse ran will result in the "Stopping of the collapse on the target automatically" .
    As far as figuring out the exat job of the collapse, you can directly get the job details in the "display message' , context menu option of the "Collapse variant" in the chain, clicking on the batch monitor and then clicking on the job to get its detail,then going to the specific "Application server " via SM51 and cacelling the job.
    Do check wearther the target is unlocked or not in sm12 if not then choose the object in se03 and select "Unlock".
    Hope it will serve yoour purpose
    Thax & Regards

  • How can I stop the install process?

    How can I stop the install process? It tells me my disk is damaged and to restart and repair, but when I restart it tries to install again....it's a never ending cycle. I'd rather keep the system I have than continue this mess.

    Hello Serau1s,
    It sounds like you are installing Mavericks, and are being prompted to restart and repair your hard drive, but when the computer restarts it goes back to the installation process. The following article should help you get that disk repaired by getting you to the recovery partition, named:
    Disk Utility 12.x: Repair a disk
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5836
    Print this help page so you can refer to it later. (You don’t have access to Disk Utility Help when you restart up your computer in the next step.)In the Disk Utility Help window, choose Print from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
    Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done. Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
    If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. Check each file in the list of affected files. If you can replace a file or recreate it, delete it. If it contains information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted. (Most of the files in the list have aliases in a DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.)
    If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • How can I change the default process of VK_ENTER in JTable

    Now I have met a requirment to process the "enter" key event in JTable. But it is found that the JTable has a default process on the ENTER key press, and it will select the next row. Even the worse, the default process is invoked before the KeyListener I registered.
    How can I remove that?
    I have tried the follow ways: 1.remove several keys, such as "selectNextRow","selectNextRowExtendSelection", from the actionMap,
    2.invoke processKeyBinding() in the constructor of my subclass of JTable.
    But both lead to failure.
    And I can't find the default process to the VK_ENTER in the java source code. I need help on this.
    BTW, does anyone know how to eliminate the focus traversal between cells. When I press left arrow or right arrow, the focus traverses in the scope of the selected row.

    thanks
    i also found solution for my poblem:
    i have this code:
    jMenuItem jMnItEdit;
    jMnItEdit.setAccelerator( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0));
    also i had ActionListener bounded to this JMenuItem
    but Ialso had in form JTable and it always grabbed my VK_ENTER event and that menu item wasn't working at all
    but when i overrode that input map for JTable and set
    tableInputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0, false), "none");
    everything started to work perfectly,
    thanks a lot

  • How can i stop the started process of downloading ios 8 on my ipad air?plz tell me i dont want to upgrade.

    i have apple ipad air 32gb ,ios 7.0.3 , by mistake i have started the process of update on ios 8 , how can i stop this ? plz tell me.

    The replies don't address the question: "I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop?"
    I have the same problem: I also don't want to upgrade to 5.0 (4.0 messed me up enough and I finally got that straightened out). How do I stop those annoying requests? It should have a "No" option.
    Please email replies to [email protected] Thanks.

  • HT1689 Hello I traveled outside the country and now my ipad cannot update or purchase apps. It tells me to switch the the USA store to continue; therefore how can I change the purchasing process to the USA store?

    How can I swicth stores in order to update or purchase apps.
    I am currently in a different country and I do not know why it changed stores to the local country store. I need to change it to the USA store to perfom updates and purchases?
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Here's a little more information from a previous post:
    iTunes Store content is country specific. When you change countries, you no longer receive app update notifications on your iOS device or in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country, nor do those Apps appear on your new country's Purchased page.
    However, you will still be able to download those applications again for free if they are present on your new country's store (even if they are updated).You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased app is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again.
    The following article describes how to review your account's purchase history so that you may view the titles of the Apps you previously purchased:

  • IOS8 - How can I "inhibit" the update process?

    Hi, I need to know if there is a way to block \ inhibit the iOS update process.
    I can't block the web site http://mesu.apple.com/assets/com_apple_MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate/com_apple_Mobi leAsset_SoftwareUpdate.xml
    in the internet proxy or in the career network because we work in multinational environment.
    We have the AFARIA MDM and we tried to configure a policy to block the web site above reported.
    The device receive correctly the policy and if we try to open that web site in SAFARI we are not able to open it, but we are able to update iOS... so it seems that the device goes to some other sites to update iOS.
    We need to inhibit the iOS8 update process because some of our applications are not yet certificated with iOS8.
    Please help us.
    thanks a lot

    The only way i've read about preventing the ios8 download it to "trust" the user's not to update or blocking the internet web site ( mesu.apple.com ) / ip address.

  • How can I change the default process priority for plugin-container?

    I'm on Windows XP and using Firefox 16.0.2.
    While browsing the web I often listen to pandora, but the music playback is always choppy or jerky. It especially occurs when scrolling pages up/down on other tabs. I saw on another question - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930496 - that one solution is to change the plugin-container.exe priority to AboveNormal. I've done this several times and it works really well!!
    I also tried changing the firefox.exe priority up and down, but this is ineffective (choppy playback problem still occurs). It is very much related to the plugin-container priority.
    Please could you provide an about:config option to set the default process priority for the plugin-container. It would make a big difference for those users who have the problem. Thanks!

  • How can I read the executed processes std out into my program?

    In MyProgram.c I am doing  CreateProcess("GetData.exe" ....);. GetData when run on a command line prints about 100 lines of data to stdout.  When I run my MyPragrame.exe I want that data not going to stdout instead I want it to be saved
    say in a buffer DataBuffer[100][100] assuming there are 100 lines whose strlen is 100. Can I do it? If so please help out. Thanks
    MyProgram.c:
    void
    main()
        STARTUPINFO si;
        PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
        char DataBuffer[100][100];
        ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
        si.cb = sizeof(si);
        ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
    if( !CreateProcess( NULL,
    // No module name (use command line)
    "Getdata.exe",  // Command line
    NULL,           // Process handle not inheritable
