Imovie themes taking a long time

OK, imovie themes are taking like 30 minutes to work. So far it hasen't even finished rendering. Whats the deal? Anyone having the same issue? It gets to the very last part of rendering, to where the whole bar is red and then it sits there. Help me out guys.
Sincerely,
John Cook

yes it does take a while, but then it has a lot to do... , rendering the daily rushes for the Lord of the Rings used to take overnight in London and ready on an iPod Drive for viewing next day New Zealand. I dont think they used iMovie.....
I had thought iLife 05 was not great, but 06 is much better(except iWeb) but then I ramped up the RAM last week
interesting,I previewed the reply before posting and noticed, I had a word beginning with H rhyming with Tell and it came up with four stars...!! I replaced it with not great....

Computer still taking a long time to boot

I have a late 2013 21.5” iMac (Model: ME087LL/A) with a 1TB hard drive (5400 rpm). I just switch from Windows to Mac, so I tried to keep everything as simple as possible on the transfer of files. I had only added Kaspersky Antivirus and Western Digital Tools.
Boot times and operation seemed normal so I transferred my music, pictures, and some files. My computer started running slow with just one user and started taking a long time to boot. I found that since I added about 24,000 pictures to iPhoto, the Mac was trying to send all these pictures to iCloud in the background. I stopped using iCloud for iPhoto and that seemed to speed up the normal operation once the computer is booted.
The computer still seemed to take a very long time to boot. It would now take 3 minutes to get from turning it on to being able to use Safari. I uninstalled Kaspersky Antivirus and Western Digital Tools using each company’s uninstallers so I know they are completely off the computer.
Any ideas on how to get back to the fast boot time? I am only using about 150 GBs of the 1 T drive so I don’t think that is causing the issue. What should I expect for a boot time on a brand new Late 2013 iMac? Or should I try to re-install Maverick and try to get a fresh start?
Any advice would be appreciated so I don’t feel like I made the wrong choice going to Mac. I'm kicking myself because the computer was so fast when I just got it.

Seventy one thanks for trying to help me out. I really appreciate it. Log is below. You are absolutely right. Kaspersky and WD look like they still have something (as well as google??). Is there anything else that stands out? How would I go about getting rid of them? Re-Install? Clean Re-Install?

Taking snapshot of oracle tables to sql server using transactional replication is taking a long time

Hi All,
I am trying to replicate around 200 oracle tables onto sql server using transaction replication and it taking a long time i.e the initial snapshot is taking more than 24 hrs and it still going on.
Is there any way to replicate those these tables faster?
Kindly help me out..
Thanks

Hi,
According to the description, I know the replication is working fine. But it is very slow.
1. Check the CPU usage on Oracle publisher and SQL Server. This issue may due to slow client processing (Oracle performance) or Network performance issues.
2. Based on SQL Server 2008 Books Online ‘Performance Tuning for Oracle Publishers’ (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151179(SQL.100).aspx). You can enable the transaction
job set and follow the instructions based on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms147884(v=sql.100).aspx.
2. You can enable replication agent logging to check the replication behavior. You may follow these steps to collect them:
To enable Distribution Agent verbose logging. Please follow these steps:
a. Open SQL Server Agent on the distribution server.
b. Under Jobs folder, find out the Distribution Agent.
c. Right click the job and choose Properties.
d. Select Steps tap, it should be like this:
e. Click Run agent and click Edit button, add following scripts by the end of scripts in the command box:
-Output C:\Temp\OUTPUTFILE.txt -Outputverboselevel 2
f. Exit the dialogs

Rank Function taking a long time to execute in SAP HANA

Hi All,
I have a couple of reports with rank function which is timing out/ or taking a really long time to execute, Is there any way to get the result in less time when rank functions are involved?
the following is a sample of how the Query looks,
SQL 1:
select      a.column1,
                b.column1,
                rank () over(partition by a.column1 order by sum(b.column2) asc)
from         "_SYS_BIC"."Analyticview1"         b
                join          "Table1"            a
                  on          (a.column2 = b.column3)
group by a.column1,
b.column1;
SQL 2:
select    a.column1,
                b.column1,
                rank () over( order by min(b.column1) asc) WJXBFS1
from         "_SYS_BIC"."Analytic view2"         b
                cross join                "Table 2"               a
where      (a.column2 like '%a%'
and b.column1 between 100 and 200)
group by a.column1,
                b.column1
when I visualize the execution plan,the rank function is the one taking up a longer time frame. so I executed the same SQL without the rank() or partition or order by(only with Sum() in SQL1 and Min() in SQL 2) even that took a around an hour to get the result.
1.Does anyone have an any idea to make these queries to execute faster?
2. Does the latency have anything to do with the rank function or could it be size of the result set?
3. is there any workaround to implement these rank function/partition inside the Analytic view itself? if yes, will this make it give the result faster?
Thank you for your help!!

Krishna,
I tried both of them, Graphical and CE function,
It is also taking a long time to execute
Graphical view giving me the following error after 2 hr and 36 minutes
Could not execute 'SELECT ORDER_ID,ITEM_ID,RANK from "_SYS_BIC"."EMMAPERF/ORDER_FACT_HANA_CV" group by ...' in 2:36:23.411 hours .

CE function - I aborted after 40 mins
Do you know the syntax to declare local variable to use in CE function?

Firefox in my Mac is suddenly taking a long time to activate, my Mac seems to block as if it was a PC

Firefox in my Mac is suddenly taking a long time to activate, my Mac seems to block as if it were a PC

It may be some dodgy settings or plugins causing that, I would say job one is to check out your extensions, as these can cause all sorts of issues. First, disable them all temporarily and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, turn them back on in turn and see if one in particular is causing the issue. If you find one, ditch it!
If the app is still slow, I would recommend backing up all your bookmarks, and then dumping any settings associated with the app. If you don't feel comfortable doing this manually, you may want to use a tool like Appcleaner to uninstall all of the application's files, and then reinstall a fresh copy from firefox.com.
Hope that helps!

Taking a long time to recieve texts

Hi, ive had my iphone 4s for about 2 months now. all been fine until past 2 weeks. im now taking a long time to receive texts. specifically sms messages. imessages seem to work fine. but it can take up to several hours before my sms texts come through.
And i usually have to reboot the iphone to receive them and they all come at once.
Cant be my signal because im usually in areas with excellent network coverage
Ive restored my iphone twice, once last week and once today. still getting same problems.
Any ideas??

Can't tell you the exact time, but over USB 2.0 it should be maybe a minute or so. Certainly no more than a couple of minutes.

Attachments taking a long time to download

Hi, I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same problem. I've just got my iphone 4 and have noticed that when I download an attachment in mail it seems to be taking a long time to download. This is compared to my old 3g which downloaded them ten times faster when connected to my wi-fi. (granted, before i updated it to 4.0)!! Does anyone have a fix for this? Safari is fast compared to my 3g.
Regards, Andy

Taking too long time to get LOV

HI,
I have created a customer folder in which the query retuns 0.5 million records.
I have created a item class in airline_name column which is being used in the worksheet as parameter.
The problem is it is taking too long time near about 2 min to get LOV when the user wants to search the exact name.
Thanks,
Himanshu Tiwari

Hi,
Usually, you should not use the folder that the report is based on to define the LOV. You should use a separate folder to define the LOV that is optimised to return the content of the LOV.

Discoverer reports taking a long time!!!

Hi all,
One of our clients is complaining that the discoverer reports are taking a long time to run for the last few days, the report used to take 30 minutes before but now is running for hours!!
I have checked the SGA and I have killed the idle sessions but still there was no improvement in the performance.
The version of BI discoverer is 10 and database also is 10g and the platform is win server 2003.
I have checked the forums and they talk about explain plan and tkprof and other commands, but my problem is that i am unable to find the query that discoverer is running i mean once the report is clicked the query runs and gives the estimate time it would take. can some one tell me where this query is stored so that i can check this query,
Also there were no changes made in the query or to the database.
The temp space fills up 100%, i increased the size of temp space but still it goes to 100% also i noticed that the CPU utilisation goes to 100%
i also increased the SGA but still no go.
can someone kindly help me as to what could be causing this problem
also kindly guide me to some good documents for tuning the discoverer.
thanks in advance,
regards,
Edited by: user10243788 on Jan 4, 2010 12:47 AM

Hi,
The fact that the report used to work fast and now not can be related to many things but my guess is that the database statistics were changed and so the explain plan has changed.
This can be done due to change in the volume of the data that crossed a level were oracle optimizer change the behavior but it can be other things as well.
Anyway it is not relevant since it will be easier to tune the SQL than to find what have changed.
In order to find whether the problem is with the discoverer or in the SQL extract the SQL as described above and run it in SQL tool (SQL Plus, TOAD, SQL Developer and so on).
The best way to get to the problem is run a trace on your session and then use the TKPROF command to translate it to a text file you can analyze - you can assist your DBA team they should have no problem doing that.
By doing that you will get the problematic statements/ functions/ procedures that the report uses.
From there you can start working on improving the performance.
Performance is expertise for itself so i'm sorry i don't know to tell you where to start from, I guess the start will be from understanding the meaning of the explain plan.
Hope I helped a little although I wish Ii had a magic answer for you
BTW, until you resolve that problem you can use the discoverer scheduler to run the reports in the background and so the users will get the data.

I am just curious as to why this is, and what I might do to fix it.

It then states to reenable it, but don't know where to type that in, either. Any advice would be helpful. I did run a verification not too long ago, and here's that code.

If any of you have or had a similar problem, I'd appreciate your help. For the time being, I may just disable time machine during the evening, and only have it run during the day when I'm at work.

Is your sig still current (10.7.3)? Or did you update to 10.7.5? Because 10.7.5 had a Spotlight/Time Machine bug that slowed down a lot of backups. If that's what it is, there's now a 10.7.5 Supplemental Update that fixes the slow Time Machine problem.
If it isn't 10.7.5, I don't know what the problem might be.

Report script taking very long time to export in ASO

Hi All,
My report script is taking very long time to execute and finally a message appears as timed out.
I'm working on ASO Cubes and there are 14 dimensions for which i need to export all data for all the dimensions for only one version.
The data is very huge and the member count in each dimension is also huge, so which is making me difficult to export the data.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Here is a link that addresses several ways to optimize your report script. I utilize report scripts for Level 0 exports in an ASO environment as well, however the majority of our dimemsions are attribute dimensions.
These are the most effective solutions we have implemented to improve our exports via report scripts:
1. Make sure your report script is written in the order of how the Report Extractor retrieves data.
2. Supressing Zero and Missing Data
3. We use the LINK command within reports for some dimensions that are really big and pull at Level 0
4. Using Symmetric reports.
5. Breakout the exports in multiple reports.
However, you may also consider some additional solutions outlined in this link:
1. The MDX optimizing commands
2. Back end system settings

I hope this helps. Maybe posting your report script would also help users to provide feedback.
Thanks

My external library 100 GB on a 2TB drive is taking a long time to open.

Hey there,
I recently moved my library to an external drive. When I tried to load the external drive, it said it needed to repair and I let it happen overnight because it was taking a long time.
Now it seems to just freeze when I try to load the external library. Can someone let me know if there is something I can do to make this process speed up? Should I move some of my projects to another library and keep it off-line?
Thanks,
Austin

Could it possibly be due to videos stored in the aperture library? I think one of the folders has multiple GB of video... Just a thought.
If Aperture is freezing on opening, this can be caused by corrupted or incompatible media, but it would not explain the original error message your reported - "permissions".
When the repair finishes, try to launch Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If media cannot beprocessed, Aperture will hang, when it tries to generate the previews for those images or videos. If you can get Aperture to launch after deferring the preview generation, you could open the Activity window (Window > Show Activity) and then selectively try to generate previews for your last imported images and videos (Photos > update preview). The Activity window will show, what is currently processed, and perhaps you can spot, which of the files is causing the hang.
