iTunes 11.3.1.2 takes 2+ minutes to displays Podcasts list

There has been a long-standing issue with the way iTunes handles Podcasts when there are multiple episodes available.
When your iTunes Library checks for new episodes of subscribed Podcasts, it will download only the latest one. This is fine if there is only one episode since iTunes last checked. But if there are two or more, then iTunes still only downloads the latest one, and ignores the previous episodes. Apple's apparent attempt to resolve this issue is to show the other episodes, but with the download cloud icon next to them. All well-and-good, but it's not obvious that this is what is happening, particularly when the Unplayed Episode Count includes those non-downloaded episodes.
What compounds this issue is that the in-the-cloud episodes are listed in the Podcasts Library, which up until that change, only included media actually in your Library.

My question is: What else do I have to set so that the podcast episodes I have subscribed to are automatically downloaded?
Submit a product Enhancement Request as feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html, although I suggest you don't get your hopes up. I submitted one a long time ago, but all Apple has done is introduce the "cloud" episodes, which has not solved the problem.

I have subscribed to almost 100 podcasts and I should not have to go to each one in Library | My Podcasts and manually select the newest episodes. Am I not following the directions? Is there another step I have missed?
Please tell me how to have my subscribed podcasts download automatically.
The only thing you can do is set your iTunes to check for new episodes frequently enough to catch all the new ones.
However, even this may not be enough. There is a BBC programme that releases up to three new episodes every day, all within one hour. So even once and hour will not catch all three of these.

Startup Manager takes 1 minute to display

Hi,
I recently purchased a Mac mini and installed Boot Camp. The partitions are:
120GB MacOSX 10.6.3
32GB WindowsXPSP2 (FAT32)
I set everything up using the Boot Camp Assistant and everything runs without a problem. However, when I turn on the computer and hold down the Option key, the startup manager takes a *full minute* before it is displayed.
I have also noticed that when I boot into WindowsXP, that the startup program BOOTCAMP.EXE also takes a full minute before it shows up in the tray.
I suspect that Boot Camp and the Startup Manager are somehow unhappy with the drive partitioning or are hitting some sort of timeout while looking for other boot devices. I have not found anyone else that has reported this problem. I hope someone with internal Boot Camp and Startup Manager knowledge will be able to provide some useful information.

I completely removed Windows and BootCamp and the problem still exists. So it is actually a Startup Manager problem.
I then disconnected my network cable and tried it again and suddenly the problem was gone. After some quick tests, I discovered what the problem is.
If a live network cable is plugged into the Mac mini, the Startup Manager will make a DHCP request. If after 60 seconds no DHCP response comes, the Startup Manager will give up and then show the startup volumes. This means, if you have a network but the Mac mini does not receive a DHCP response, the Startup Manager will always take 60 seconds before it displays the startup volumes.
There are 2 solutions to this problem:
1. Make sure your network is running a DHCP server and that the DHCP server responds to the Mac mini requests with an IP address.
2. Don't plug a network cable into the Mac mini when starting the Startup Manager if you know no DHCP server will respond.
It is nice that Apple uses the WLAN and integrated Ethernet to try and find all possible startup volumes. But I wish that Apple would make this configurable so that the user can choose to have the Startup Manager never use WLAN and/or never use the integrated Ethernet.

SQL Developer takes 7 minutes to bring back list of packages

The database is 11g R2 on 64bit Linux.
Instance has multiple schemas
SQLDev is v3.1.07 (download with JDK)
SQL Dev connects without a problem.
Click the "+" next to Functions, in a few seconds I get the list of functions.
Click the "+" next to Procedures, in a few seconds I get the list of procedures.
Click the "+" next to Packages, between 5 and 10 MINUTES later the list will display.
The exact objects I choose to explore, or the order does not seem to matter.
After 2 or 3 objects, the next load takes an unacceptable length of time.
What is going on here?

You can try to find out if the underlying query, that the sql developer issues against the data dictionary is slow.
To do so first find the query, then issue the same query inside sql developer and check out the execution time and explain plan from there.
To find the query you can connect with a DBA account. Use "Tools/Sessions .. " to monitor the sessions. Find the appropriate connection (check for the correct db user, and the module should be SQL Developer). Then start the slow action in the different session. Switch back to the session monitor and refresh it. Check out the SQL that is shown on "Active SQL" Tab.
If this query is slow, then it is not a problem opf the sql developer but of your database installation. Maybe the dictionary cache is to small or the database did not apply statistics to the system tables. In such a case report the problem to your DBA.
it could also be a problem of the connection. Do you use an oracle client to open the connection or something like a thin jdbc driver? try with the oracle client if you don't have that already.

CMC Authentication takes 15 minutes to display

Why is it taking 15 minutes or more to bring up the Authentication pop-up window in the CMC?
I just click on the Authentication "lock" icon and select Windows AD and a blank page page with "Loading" appears and then it sits - 15+ minutes before it populates - then it works fine.
Using Windows AD with only 5 Mapped AD groups in a single domain with Kerberos authentication and Enabled SSO for the selected auth mode, SiteMinder disabled.
Version - SAP BO Enterprise XI version 12.1.0 on the CMC About page.
Anyway to see what is causing the delay? It happens every time.
Thanks in Advance,

Logged support ticket with SAP - got solution - see below...
It is taking 15 minutes or more to bring up the Authentication pop-up window in the CMC.
When we click on the Authentication "lock" icon and select Windows AD and a blank page with "Loading" appears and then it sits - 15+ minutes before it populates u2013 after which it works fine. This happens every time.
The fix from SAP is to set a limitation on the number of Group Graph and Alias reports that are kept by SAP/BO.
This change eliminates the delay in the display of the Authentication page.
Steps:
1)     Login to CMC
2)     Go to Folders -> Administrative Tools
3)     Open Update Windows AD Group Graph
4)     Go to Limits and check u201CDelete excess instances when there are more than N instances of an objectu201D and set the limit to 10
5)     Click u201CUpdateu201D and close the window
6)     Open Update Windows AD Group Graph and Aliases
7)     Go to Limits and check u201CDelete excess instances when there are more than N instances of an objectu201D and set the limit to 10
8)     Click u201CUpdateu201D and close the window
It can take up to 24 hours for the excess reports to be removed, but after that, the response time for Windoiws AD Authentication pop-up page was under 5 minutes - not great but workable for this infrequent change area

Mac OS X Finder takes a while to display files

New to the Mac... is it typical for the Finder to take a while to display the list of files when you initially open it and select a source (i.e. Documents) from the sidebar - for example, as compared to Windows Explorer, which is instantaneous? It seems to happen most often when I select Desktop but lately I've noticed it no matter what I select.
Using a MacBook Pro (Late 2013) with Mac OS X Mavericks

mgerardhahn,
it depends on which sort of view you use within Finder. If you view them as a list, and the file sizes are included in that view, then it will take a while the first time that you view them after booting, because it will take time to compute the totals for applications and folders. (Applications are usually folders rather than a single monolithic file.) It should cache the totals so that subsequent list views are quick.

I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest
version of itunes. Still......
First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere
from two to three minutes to load. None of my other programs take this
long.
When in the itunes program I can be moving around in my library and itunes
when choosing a song or songs, choosing file, edit, etc,. whatever command I
choose it just suddenly stops. I can issue five commands and watch each one
respond in 30 second to two minute intervals. I can issue several commands,
even shutting down, and it will do all but takes several minutes to do so.
My itunes program was working fine when this problem suddenly arose.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

In itunes 10.6, when I click to burn a cd, it takes 10 minutes for the "Burn Settings" screen that allows me to choose which cd burner to use to be displayed. I have tried setting the UpperFilters to "GEARAspiWDM" and LowerFilters to null. Any suggestion

Many thanks for the diagnostics.
Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
Error while opening iTunes CD driver. This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:

ITunes takes 10 minutes to load

I have HP Desktop with Windows Vista and latest version of iTunes. When I start iTunes it takes 10 minutes or more to load. My other friends using same version of iTunes on their computers with Vista say it loads much quicker. What can I do to speed it up? I have already tried defragmenting my hard drive and cleaning off all unused files. All my other programs are loading and operating okay.

Hmm. Those specifications are extremely high for iTunes.
I would think maybe it has something to do with loading your media. Is that stored somewhere other than your HDD or scattered around your HDD (rather than iTunes copying it onto it's own folder)?

My Apple TV 2 is slow when trying to move through different menu selections. It is like a slow computer trying to catch up to mouse clicks. It eventually remembers the buttons that were pushed on the remote, but it freezes and takes a minute to catch up.

I had something similar a couple of week ago, it would scroll then stop, scroll then stop.
At some point the porblem went away.
Try unpowering and restarting your AppleTV. Rsetart iTunes too.

My mac mini takes 5 minutes to boot up

I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now, have always run Mountain Lion on it, but in the last month it takes 5 minutes to boot up when I turn it on (turning on to the log in page). Everything else works fine. I have done Disk Utilities, and the permissions are all fine, I verified the disc and that is all fine. I have two other drives plugged into it, one 500GB USB for Time Machine and one 250GB firewire for data storage and my iTunes items. The Mac Mini is a 2.3GHz processor with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
Any ideas please? 5 minutes is very slow for a computer to boot in 2013. Thanks.

Open Console in Utilities, go to system.log, enter boot or BOOT_ in the filter field. Please post just the bootup sequence, no other messages, of those ~five minutes, from BOOT_TIME, or however it's worded until "setting hostname to "yourusername.local." If the time stamps, which we must see are not included, then post back without posting the log, since it will be useless.

MacBook Pro takes 7 minutes to restart. Is it ok?

I have a MacBook Pro:
Nombre del modelo: MacBook Pro

Velocidad del procesador: 2.5 GHz
Cantidad de procesadores: 1
Cantidad total de núcleos: 2

Sensor de movimiento repentino:
Estado: Activado
When it becomes slow during the day, I restart it. Sometimes it takes very long just to shut down (the spinning bars keeps rotating in a black background), approximately two minutes. So, I rather simply turn it off (I click OK in the "do you really want to do it" warning), this method is faster.
Either way, my MacBook takes long to restart. It begins with a grey background for a minute or less, then a slim bar appears under Apple logo and starts to fill. This process takes three minutes, more or less. Then, when the bar is filled completely, the login screen with my photo appears. I login and immediately the pesky warning "Do you want to reopen application" appears; I click "Cancel". The desktop background picture appears, but just that, no menu bar, no dock, no icons. MacBook stays in this state for two and a half minutes. Then dock appears, no menu bar yet. I try to start an application with the Launcher icon in the dock but the screen gets blurred with the legend "Loading applications..." and MacBook stays in that state for another minute or more. I scape this blurred screen, I try to click something else but nothing is clickable, until menu bar appears. Then starts loading, clock mini icon, battery, TimeMachine, BlueTooth, iTranslate, DPS and other icons painfully slow. When everything seems to be on place, I click any item in the menu bar and the computer doesn't responde until the third click. Then everything starts working normal... until mid-afternoon, when the computer has become so slow that I have to restart it again.
As you can see, it is really frustrating, painful, unproductive.
Is this normal?
What can I do?

Lenovo U410 takes 10 minutes to turn on - Please help

Background:
Got the laptop - 500GB HDD and 24GB mSATA SSD with iRST/ExpressCache. iRST was by default enabled in BIOS.
Upgraded to 8.1 a few days after its release. Everything ran fine for a while.
And one day after opening up the laptop and waking it from sleep I got a message saying "It appears Intel Rapid Start Technology is not enabled on your system." Since then the laptop takes 10 minutes to start where as before when I got the new machine it took 20 seconds.
I did a system recovery using OneKey but that apparently only restores the C:\ drive so the mSATA (D is still having issues that are causing the long boot time.
I tried a few things like deleting the mSATA volume/recreating and that did not help. iRST since the error message in the BIOS is showing as INVALID. I can't use diskpart to clean because the mSATA does not show when doing a list disk. I've changed AHCI to RAID and I can't get Windows to launch or go into the troubleshooting command prompt because Windows has an error when trying to start up and it will just boot loop.
At the moment if I power my machine on from a powered down state it will start on a black screen that will sit there for 5-8 minutes and then the Lenovo screen with the loading circle will take another 2-3 and finally when Windows launches the system will be slow for another 2-3 minutes before I can even open the Task Manager. If I try to restart when Windows is loadaed it will just stay at a black screen until I hard-shut down using the Power button.
I really don't know what I can do without voiding warranty (I thought about taking the mSATA SSD out but don't want to void the warranty). I really don't know what could have caused this (maybe upgrading to Win8.1?) but it's been happening since I woke the computer up from sleep once. I've heard that Lenovo Energy Management might be a cause of the iRST issue too?
I'd also like to note that I tried uninstalling iRST and the uninstall was OK. Upon trying to reinstall it iRST is saying that my system does not meet the requirements which obviously is incorrect.
Can someone or support please provide some help? Is there a way I can image my system (both HDD and SSD) to factory?
Thank you.

I've also tried reinstalling ExpressCache but to no avail - it says during the install a suitable drive was not found.
Doing a eccmd.exe -info says a SSD is not mounted.

FTP problem: connection going idle or missing; takes a minute to refresh

Hi, i hope i explain myself, please forgive me my lack of tech-language and if i'm redundant:
In my office we got a G5 dual that we turn into a server (Mac OS Server 10.5.7) for a couple of websites (for external use). I need this guys to have FTP access for some file sharing. Server is up, websites and databases are running fine, remote administration in local and external network is flawless, everything seems fine, except for the FTP: When i connect with cyberduck or any other FTP app, the authentication is done quickly but then, the connection goes idle (like it didn't exists) so the folder listing takes about a minute. Then, as soon as you get the listing, if you try to put something (i.e, a big file of 50mb, using the local network), the app makes a quick login but then it goes idle again (same, about a minute) and when the connections appears, the transfer goes really fast, after the transfers ends connection goes idle again a minute before managing the folder listing. I know that the connection "goes idle" or "disappears" because i started using little snitch to take a look at it. It appears like if the ftp app wasn´t even trying to connect, then suddenly, it´s there and connects/transfers. Every operation takes this minute to get going. If i try it with a browser, well, it times out. This is happening in both, local and external connection. But every other service is working cool.
Can you give me any ideas about this matter?

Ok, rather than going for the most problematic protocols known to modern networking, try with something simple.
Don't test with ftp, test with sftp.
I would initially suspect you're running into issues with firewalls here; beyond transmitting your credentials in cleartext, the design of ftp is inherently extremely allergic to firewalls, and particularly to transfers over connections that involve both local and remote firewalls.
ftp is funky here in that it needs two connections between the client and the server, and the second connection tends to get blocked. An ftp active-mode connection has a back-connect from the ftp server to an ephemeral port on the client; traversing firewalls from server to client. An ftp passive-mode connection has a forward connection; a second parallel connection from the client to a specified (usually) ephemeral port on the ftp server; traversing the firewalls.
Ignoring explicit transfer-mode selection, various clients can (transparently) try to switch between active and passive, too.
My preferred approach is to avoid ftp. At all. Use sftp. sftp is far easier to punch through firewalls. And sftp doesn't transmit your username and password in cleartext, for that matter.
The other part of this effort is around ensuring proper file protections and ownership in the web server directories. The web-facing file ownership should be user:www (often root:www) and the www user (the web server) should be able to read its web files, but (in general) should not be able to write to the web files or directories. This is defensive.

My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Is there any way to make this instant?

Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.
