I use Comcast, XP, Firefox, Yahoo email. When I initially click on Firefox on my Start page, it takes a very long time to open. After opening, everything runs fast.
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.

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. -
Mac Air takes a very long time when manually putting to sleep
I put my Mac Air in sleep mode from the apple icon after Im dont using it but sometimes takes a very long time to shut down. Then Im not sure if sometimes it goes into sleep mode by itself first. My mac notebook as soon as you hit sleep it shut down instantly. Anyone else have this problem?

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 a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.
If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again. -
Just recently bought a brand-new iPod touch, 5th generation. To be exact, got it two days ago, this past Saturday, on 12/13/2014. Initially, when I first turned it on, it had a fully charge and I didn't need to charge it. I also didn't see anything in the very small and limited start-up guide you receive with it to charge it for a certain amount of time before use, or to use it until the battery dies, then charge all the way, like a lot of electronic devices have you do when you first purchase them.
So I was assuming I didn't need to do anything like that. First question, should I have charged it for a period of time before use? Should I have used it until the battery died, then plugged it in and charged it fully before use? Or is none of this necessary initially and iPod batteries are good to go from the start?
Please excuse me if this is an obvious question, as this is my first ever iPod. Anyways,like I said, nothing in the "instructions" said anything about that, so I didn't do it, I just used it until it got below 20% battery left, then I plugged it in.
Now for the battery itself, it takes literally a day or so to fully charge, even while not in use. Even if I use it for a while, turn off the iPod to make sure it shuts off all background data and apps, and then plug it in to charge, it still charges extremely slowly. I've never seen a device take this long to charge. As for the battery life itself, I'd say at full charge it lasts about 4-5 hrs, maybe 6, and then I have to charge it again. Meanwhile it takes around 24 hours, without me using it, to fully charge. If I use it while its charging, the battery decreases faster than it charges, and eventually I'll get the typical "20% battery remaining" message pop up.
I know it is charging, as the lightning symbol is next to the battery symbol. Specifically, right now, I plugged it in about 1 hr 30 minutes ago, and it has barely gone up. Also, whenever I press the home button to check the battery, I can see it jump down from about 50% to somewhere around 25%-30%. What is that about?
This is really frustrating, and I'm seriously contemplating either taking it back and trying my luck with a different iPod, or just taking it back and getting my money back. Any help and clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated, and I'll answer any questions I can to shed more light on this.It will take longer to charge the 5G's battery than either the 3G or 4G's battery.

I updated to Firefox 14.0.1; my Operating System is Windows Vista on my Compaq Presario C700. I have taken it to the computer repair shop and they said they found a Trojan and removed it. It was still operating VERY slowly, so I took it back in. They said they could not find anything more. I removed MANY of my desktop icons and eliminated some of the programs from my start up menu. It is still taking up to 5 minutes to load some pages even just send an email!

I am wondering why the Time Machine gets stuck during the Cleaning Up phase of Backing Up???
Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.

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 -
I am having trouble watching American Horror Story which I downloaded on itunes. It took hours to download, but once it did I went through my apple TV to play it and it has been streaming to for an hour and it is only half way done. I can not play it while it is streaming either. I can't believe this is the norm because if so no one would use it...
I've looked through trouble shooting and it talks about checking open TCP ports, but I don't begin to understand how to do that.
Can anyone offer any suggestion, tips or a source to fix the problem?http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972

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

I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed? Please help!
That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

When I double click on Firefox Icon, it doesn't start
when I double click on Firefox icon the clock glass appears on my pointer but the Firefox doesn't start. but some days like today it opens and doesn't have any problem.
I predict that I will have this problem again after I close the Firefox's window.
The problem started since a few days after updating my Firefox.
