Installing updates on macbook.. taking TOO long

hi, i have just did a system restore on my macbook which was fine, but now that i am updating the software it is taking hours to get past a bar of progress. it is 'installing' 3 items, itunes OS X 5.8 and something else. is this normal that it is taking this long? i don't remember it ever taking this long when i first got the computer.

hi. i have 2 computers and forgot to change the 'OS' on here.
it's the 10.5. but i think i have solved the problem. i took the update out of library and just re downloaded it. it seems to have worked.

Processing Updated Publish Criteria taking too long...

So I have installed Lightroom 4 along with an updated plugin for Smugmug....
My question is...everytime I start Lightroom or try to export to jpg etc. the following process starts with this message -- "Processing Updated Publish Criteria for com.smugmug.lightroom.publish" and takes about 2 minutes to complete.
I thought this was related to the Smugmug plugin and contacted the developer...he didn't think this was normal and suggested I post on here...
Anyone have thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Chris

The same problem had been bugging me since switching over to LR4. The only way I found to fix it was to delete any of the smugmug publishing services you have set up; that would be the area on the left sidebar where you drag images to be published. Right-click (in windows anyway, I don't know how other platforms work) on the publish service, then click "delete publish service". I had to do that for ALL the smugmug publish services I had set up. Now go back and recreate your publish service(s).
This process will cause your new publish service to be without any references to images on your smugmug site. If that's important to you then you need to tell the plug-in to sync the photos too. To do that, go to the smugmug plugin, check the box "Sync Photos" and click Sync Now. It may take some time to do a complete sync and you may need to verify images manually.
I haven't found any other workaround for the problem, but this does work.

Installing OSX Yosemite is taking too long

I am upgrading my operating system from Maverick to Yosemite. The download took a long time and now the installation is taking longer. It's been stuck on "About a minute remaining" for 2 hours now. how long should it take? How can i abort the installation?

If you have files in /usr/local, then these files are copied over one at a time into the new /usr directory. This process can take many hours. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8467350 for details. Here is what I did:
Use cmd-q to abort the install.
Reboot into recovery mode (hold cmd-r until apple startup is seen)
Open terminal window (it is one of the menu selections)
Move /usr/local into your home directory. Something like: mv /Volumes/MacOSX/usr/local /Volumes/MacOSX/Users/myhome/
Reboot. It will automatically redo the upgrade.
After the upgrade, move /usr/local back with something like: ditto -V ~/local /usr/local

Update membership is taking too long to update members in the collection - SCCM 2012 R2 + CU1

Hi,
We have a standalone primary site server hierarchy (SCCM 2012 R2 + CU1), Not only with this upgrade.starting from the SCCM 2012 SP1, We had an issue that members in the collections are not being updated as expected (like SCCM 2007).
I have created about 20+ query based collections with the normal with the "Full schedule" option but not used "Incremental update" option. Also i have observed that after a day or so..members are appearing.
anyone had solution to this, why this collection update membership in SCCM 2012 is improper?
Thanks.
srkr

Hi Torsten,
We have about 25 machines in each collection, My collection condition is based on the package (Ex:if the package is not installed on the machine, it will appear in the collection to target the package),
WQL query looks good, I have used the same logic for all the collections with different package.
I did not see any error in colleval.log, all the collections are evaluating properly,but I can see .CEP files in COLLEVAL.BOX which has 0 KB size.
Any Idea?

Update is taking too long to install

I'm in the process of installing an update to iTunes (11.0.4) and what I think is a security update on my MBP. However, the installation process is taking too long. First, it was stuck for about 2 hours on "registering updated components", and now (for the last hour) I'm seeing a blue screen with the spinning gear. Should I just keep waiting? Has anyone had a similar experience?

zornie,
Try going to safari>preferences, general tab, and setting the "save downloaded files to your desktop (if desktop is not in the drop down menu, click other then select desktop from the left side bar). This will download the update to your dektop as a stand alone installer. Also if for some reason the download is interupted you can click the download icon on the desktop and it will resume where it left off. When the download is complete double click the icon/installer package and follow the prompts. Do them one at a time. (Thsi is not using software update, which can some times get corrupted during DL, especially if your are doing it wireless)

HT4736 Taking too long (2 minutes) to locate and download photos into Photo '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD). I checked and repaired HD permissions. Any ideas?

Regarding iPhoto '11 9.5 (902.7 build running on an older Intel based MacBook Pro with iPhoto libraries on a USB2 External HD). I am dealing with iPhoto taking too long to download photos. Specifically, I rechecked and repaired HD permissions. I am running the most current software my five year old Intel MacBook Pro can run. What happens is that when I connect an external SD card, or my iPhone, the new version of iPhoto takes up to two full minutes to fully acknowledge the device. Then locate new photos and be ready to download them to my external HD. I am kind of concerned about this. This has never happened before.
I take 20,000 photos a year. I really don't want to lose any. Or is there something I am doing wrong? Or need to be aware of? Any experienced suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Have a great day.
PS.... The cameras I use are Canon SX-30, Nikon D3100, and my iPhone 4S. Thanks again for your assistance.

Hello Old Toad.... Those sound like great ideas.
I thought I checked and repaired disk permissions on my main boot HD. That boot disk is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Capacity 749.3 GB. Available 562.53 GB. BUT.... now that I think of it.... the Seagate external HD with USB2 interface is: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Capacity 639.79 GB, Available 36.2 GB with my latest iPhoto Library 517.37 GB that was already scanned & updated to be read by the latest iPhoto version.
I'll try your suggestions tonight as far as double checking 'permissions' and setting up a tiny test library.
Or maybe it's time to fill up another External HD?
I appreciate your and anyone else's suggestions to try.
Have a great day. ~~ David in Rochester NY

It is taking too long to login after i installed kaspersky

MY macbook air was working fine but after i installed kaspersky internet security and restarted it is it taking too long to login.. What do i do?

Try restarting in Safe Mode: Starting up in Safe Mode
Try disabling your Login Items: If you think you have incompatible login items
Both are temporary measures. Either one may allow you to log in so that you can uninstall Kaspersky. If you are unable to log in write back for additional instructions.
To reboot normally restart your Mac and log in without holding any keys.

Thank you all for the great ideas, you have been extremely helpful. Here is what we did and were able to resolve the query.
We started with Etbin's idea to create a table from the ext table so that we can index and reference easier than an external table, so we did the following:
SQL> create table ext_person as select P_ID,ED_ID,trim(F_NAME) fst_name,trim(L_NAME) lst_name from EXT_NAMES_CSV;
Table created.
SQL> desc ext_person
Name                                                                                Null?    Type
P_ID                                                                                         NUMBER

I am trying to update my ipad mini but taking too long time 5 hours

Message was edited by: GOPAL DHRUW

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

My iPod was updating to iOS 6 and i shut it off during the update because it was taking too long and now my screen in baby blue i've tried to drain the battery but when i plugged it in to charge the blue screen came back on.I dont know what to do

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What could be the reason for update statement to execute so long?You haven't said what "too long" means, but a simple reason could be that the scalar subquery on "s_postn" is using a full table scan for each execution. Potentially this subquery gets executed for each row of the "ops_forecast_extract" table that satisfies your filter predicates. "Potentially" because of the cunning "filter/subquery optimization" of the Oracle runtime engine that attempts to cache the results of already executed instances of the subquery. Since the in-memory hash table that holds these cached results is of limited size, the optimization algorithm depends on the sort order of the data and could suffer from hash collisions it's unpredictable how well this optimization works in your particular case.
You might want to check the execution plan, it should tell you at least how Oracle is going to execute the scalar subquery (it doesn't tell you anything about this "filter/subquery optimization" feature).

In 9i and above, if the "Predicate Information" section is missing from the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY output but you get instead the message "Plan table is old version" then you need to re-create your plan table using the server side script "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlxplan.sql".
In previous versions you could run the following in SQL*Plus (on the server) instead:
@?/rdbms/admin/utlxplsA different approach in SQL*Plus:
SET AUTOTRACE ON EXPLAIN
<run your statement>;will also show the execution plan.
In order to get a better understanding where your statement spends the time you might want to turn on SQL trace as described here:
When your query takes too long ...
and post the "tkprof" output here, too.

My macbook is taking too long to turn on

my macbook is taking too long to turn on.

Try doing a NVRAM/PRAM reset - after you have done this - go to system preferences - startup disk and select your hard drive as the startup drive and restart your Macbook again.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.

My iPad is taking too long to contact update software server during recovery.

My iPad is taking too long to contact update software server during recovery. It can go on for 30 minutes and it would not load. What can I do?

If the links are blocked by who-ever, you will keep getting those errors.
About the only option would be to use a proxy.
