ITunes 10 startup takes more than 5 minutes.....

After updating to iTunes 10 I discovered that starting iTunes takes about 5 to 8 minutes...(spinning beachball)
(configuration: MacBook Pro and iTunes-lib on Synology DS107+ NAS)
And don't tell me I am the only one with this situation...there are hundreds of thousands of Syno-Nas's sold in NL...THE PERFORMANCE OF iTunes has ALWAYS been a *****, but now it's really become STOOPID!!!!!!!!!! (start and wait for 8 minutes before you can do anything....with version 9 it was too long (40 seconds+) but now it's RIDICULOUS !!!!!!!!)

I don't typically see a response from Apple in most of the threads I post in / have started in the past. Expecting some magical solution right out of the gate is illogical and just your frustration talking.
For what it's worth, I don't think it's your brand of NAS devices that's causing the issue. I have a QNAP TS-639 and also experience heavy beach balling whenever I open iTunes or add something to it's Library, at this point I'm suspecting a SAMBA issue, which is sad because those are much harder to fix. They'd have to approve a samba fix/update for all macs, not just yours.
Do the synology NAS devices support AFP? Have you tried connecting with that instead?
EDIT: I actually just took my own advice and switched that share over to AFP. Relaunched iTunes and no beachballing, we'll see how it goes.

I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why?

I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why the iTunes Scripting Brigde returned failed when it is actually success? It occurred exactly 2 minutes after submit the request to Scripting Brigde. Is this 2 minutes related to the Apple Event time out? if it does, how do I get around this problem? thx

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

I am trying to import songs from a CD but it takes more than 15 minutes per song. What should I check?

I am trying to import songs from a CD but it takes more than 15 minutes per song. What should I check?

Do you have error correction turned on? (iTunes preferences - General - Import settings.) If so, it will take much longer to copy audio CD's.

MacBook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start with ML ?

My Macbook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start. I press Start and it takes more than 10 minutes before I can enter my password. Need your help !

Sounds like time for a PRAM reset. Here's how:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as normal.

Is it normal if it takes more than 5 hrs to download and process ios 5 and backup in itunes (syncing)

When I restart my Mac, the grey screen appears like usual. But it takes more than 40 minutes (more) for it to load to finish restarting the Mac. What should I do?!

Disconnect all devices from your computer if you have not already done so. Restart again. If the problem has been resolved, you had a peripheral conflict. You will then have to reconnect the devices one at time, restart, to locate the culprit.
Login Items is another culprit. Check your login items.
System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items
Delete/disable all you do not need or want.

QUERY TAKES MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AND IT'S CANCELED

Hi
I have one workbook and sometimes it takes more than 30 minutes to be executed, but Discoverer cancels it, Does anybody know how to alter this? I mean if the query takes more than 30 minutes i need it to be finished.
Any help will be appreciated.
Best Regards
Yuri López

Hi
You need to alter the timeout settings and these are located in multiple places.
Discoverer Plus / Viewer using this workflow:
1. Edit the pref.txt file on the server located here: $ORACLE_HOME\discoverer\util
2. Locate the preference called Timeout and change it to your desired value in seconds. The default is 1800 which means 30 minutes
3. Save pref.txt
4. Execute applypreferences.bat if running on Windows or applypreferences.sh if running on Linux or Unix
5. Stop and restart the Discoverer server
Discoverer Administrator using this workflow:
1. Launch Discoverer Administrator
2. From the menu bar, select Tools | Privileges
3. Select the user
4. Open the Query Governor tab
5. If "Prevent queries from running longer than" is checked, increase the limit
6. Click OK
Note: if "Prevent queries from running longer than" is not checked then the Timout in the pref.txt controls how long before the queries stop. If it is checked and it is lower than Timeout you need to increase it.
Let me know if this helps
Best wishes

From few days, it takes more than 30-60 minutes to open Firefox. I am on Vista. I have tried to reset firefox & have uninstalled and installed it again.

Hi,
From few days, it takes more than 30-60 minutes to open Firefox on my laptop. I am on Vista & have got Anti Virus as well. I have already tried to reset firefox, have uninstalled and installed it again. My firefox version is 29. But nothing seems to help.
Can you please help in this regard, as I really do love using Firefox, but due to this issue, I am forced to use other browsers.
Thanks
Gaurav

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Need to write a query that takes more than 2 minutes to execute

Hi ,
I am using Oracle 10g as my DataBase.
I am writing a small program for Testing purpose , in that my requirement is to write a query that takes more than 2 minutes to execute .Right now i have only a small Table called as "Users" with very less data .
Please let me know how can i achieve this thing ??
Thanks .

So please tell me , how can i achieve this . Thanks in advance .P. Forstman's example above will probably be more reliable, but here's an example of my idea - harder to control timing (untested)
select count(*)
from dba_objects o, dba_tables t, dba_tab_columns tc
where o.object_name||'' = t.table_name||''
and o.owner||'' = t.owner||''
and t.table_name||'' = tc.table_name
and t.owner||'' = tc.owner||''

My iMac 21.5 Inch takes more than 10 minutes to boot. How to solve??

I have just installed Mac OS X v10.6.7. The iMac just boot super slowly. It takes more than 10 minutes to become responsive...
How can i solve the problem???

This could be something as simple as a corrupted cache or as drastic as a failing hard drive, but try the less drastic first. Back up all your data and run Onyx 'automation'. You could empty all your caches manually, but Onyx will do it in one click. If Onyx doesn't resolve the start up issue you will have to start thinking about more drastic measures.

Module ContrentSwitch 3 command takes more than a minute to respond

I have two CAT 6509 switches with a CSM module in slot 3 in SW1 and a CSM module in slot 8 in SW2.
From the router config when I type - module ContentSwitch 3 on MSFC in SW1 - it takes more than a minute to get the CSM config prompt.
Then every command I type - eg, vlan 46 client - takes about a minute to respond.
This happens only on CAT 6509 SW1. On the other CAT 6500 - SW2 - which has the CSM in slot 8 - when I say - at router config prompt - module ContentSwitch 8 - I get an immediate response with the csm config prompt and every command I type I get immediate response.
One CAT 6500 number Sw1, I did a reset 3 at the CatOS prompt and tried again. Same problem, Could it be a H/W problem on this CSM in this CAT6509. The CSM versions of the two CSMs in the two CAT6509 are 4.1(3) and the MSFCs in the two CAT6509 are 12.1(2)E.
It can't be version problem because the two CSMs and the two MSFCs in the two CAT 6509 have the same versions. Tomorrow I will replace the CSM in the problem CAT6509 and try again.
I have configured one CSM and I need to configure this other CSM whick takes more than a minute to respond to commands and so I gave up after I typed 3 or 4 commands.
Any suggestions please?

I meant to type 12.1(22)E2. Please see below for the version and it is the same on the MSFC of both CAt6509 switches.
IOS (tm) MSFC2 Software (C6MSFC2-JK2SV-M), Version 12.1(22)E2, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
CSM is 4.1(3) - see below:

When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag?

When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag? Additionally, the software I record experiences terrible lag times. For instance, It may take 15 seconds to display a 2-digit number I typed into a blank field. the same software has no lag issues when I'm not recording it.

Yes and no. The CPTX file is on my PC. Our software that I'm making the demo of is on the network. but I'm not the "IT Guy" so I can't provide specifics; however, I work at a computer software company and we probably have more servers than employees. The network hardware is kept current. I've been making similar tutorials for 10 years and haven't run into this issue until switching to the subscription Captivate.

Every page I load takes more than a minute to load - clicking anywhere gives message that firefox is not responding. I don't like this version, it sucks - tabs are not defined well, can barely see them.

for instance, if I load www.msnbc.com it will take more than a minute to fully load in that if I click on a link or try to scroll, the entire browser locks up, if I try to scroll, or click on the page, I get the message that the program is not responding.

If you've updated from a version as ancient as 3.5.4, then you run the risk of encountering problems. You should start with a fresh profile to ensure old preferences, data files and changes made by extensions are not interfering.
First, create a backup copy of your profile folder, just to be safe.
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
Then use the Reset Firefox feature.
* [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
If the problem persists, see the following article.
* [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
Do not reinstall old versions of Firefox. They contain security vulnerabilities and shouldn't be used. Very old versions might also be unable to handle data files in your profile folder in their new formats, which can lead to all sorts of problems. And lastly, many websites require a modern browser to work properly.

XDCAM 1080i60 with Chroma rendering 30 minute episode take more than 17 hours is it usually?

XDCAM 1080i60 format with Chroma rendering 30 minute episode take more than 17 hours is it usually?

All depends on the system...
If by "Chroma rendering" you mean chroma key rendering then it seems quite slow (but I cut on a hopped up
8X 3.2GHz Mac Pro with a lot of everything, so slow is relative.)
If you mean something like a Magic Bullet Colorista "treatment", that's another story. I've seen that increase renders by as much as 25X the duration, i.e., a 30 minute show might take 12-15 hours on a slow machine.

ITunes 10 startup takes more than 5 minutes.....
