Long Delay in Loading Menulets on Startup

Hi all! I recently installed Snow Leopard on my Macbook, and it's great, except for one problem. Whenever I boot up my Mac, everything loads except the Menulets (battery icon, date/time, airport, bluetooth, and most importantly, Spotlight). I use Spotlight a lot, and not having it working on bootup is a real pain. If I hold my curser over the Spotlight magnifying glass, I get the pinwheel, and none of the other menulets are showing. After about a minute, they all load, but this isn't something that should be happening. Apple doesn't have any updates for SL, and I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

First thing comes to mind is whether you had any third party menus installed. My understanding is they aren't supported and are hacks, so you'd want to uninstall them and see if that helps. If that helps, then you should definitely refer to the developers page of those menus to see if they are supporting 10.6 to make their menus work. Or do without.
Of course, any software you have installed should be researched for compatibility before upgrading the OS. So, if there's any other apps or additions you've installed, it would be a good idea to do that research to prevent any further unforeseen problems, or at least learn what the expected problems will be.
The other thing that comes to mind is that I experience something similar every so often, but not very often. Might just be the occasional fluke or self maintenance.
If you have a lot of menus, that would mean a lot to load. And if any of those menus have to do anything besides sit there and look pretty, then that can eat up some time. I think the Script menu used to be like that if you put in a lot of folders, or an alias to a folder with tons of subfolders. Something else to think about, since they aren't just a list of words but are like little applications launching and waiting for response. Too many, too long.

Long delay when loading shell

we have 2 test servers here we are using for one of our clients. In theory, both are configured the same, but we are experiencing a long delay (2 or 3 minutes) when login on to the machine.
We get the delay when the shell is attempting to load. We get this issue if we login via ssh or if we do su - difuser.
su difuser does not cause the delay.
I've read about commenting out /usr/sbin/quota in /etc/profile, but that's not really an option for us.

We found the issue and why un-commenting quota fixed it.
We had a dead NFS mount. When the quota engin tried to check the quota on it, it would take forever to fail.

Long delays during WLS 9.2 startup (2-3min)

Hi all,
I've tried installing WLS9.2MP2 on several boxes but still having the same problem. During startup, weblogic stops for several minutes (with no cpu/disk/network activity) and continues without any errors displayed.
Have anyone seen this?
Thanks for hints

If I had this kind of issue, it was always network related.
If you have JMS , it can also doing recovery.

Long delay while loading a slide with a movie

As in the topic. I use Keynote08 and have 40 sec movie in the slide. It takes about 30 seconds to load this slide, during this time nothing happens. I tried nearly all combination of formats/codecs, nothing works. This is a wonderful software, but I cant use Keynote for presentations while the public has to wait until the next slide loads.
Any ideas...? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, my mistake There was some element on the slide, which was copied from another place and had a 30s delay to appear... Well, you have to be careful always, Keynote is not so advanced yet to think for you

For installing software packages, long delay in recognizing startup disk

I have found that any time I install software using an installer package (e.g. flip4mac) on my iMac, there is a long delay before my startup disk is recognized as a valid installation location. All of the other drives are evaluated immediately, but I'd say it's about 20 seconds before I get the option of my startup disk (green arrow pointing down at a picture of a hard drive).
Does anyone know what is causing this and how I might alleviate the problem? It's annoying, and I wonder if it's a sign of some deeper problem.
I do have a bootcamp partition that I rarely use, and I have an external USB drive that I use for time machine backups.

The more external storage devices you have connected to your computer the longer it's going to take to for your computer to evaluate which volumes it can install on. Short of dismounting the external HD's first this is the price you will be paying for all the external devices. BTW I'm in the same boat, I have 3 EHD's daisy chained together using FW 800.

Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

In the finder right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desk top. Do NOT make any other changes of any sort. Launch iPhoto and you will Be fine. Open the import(ing) folder and if there are any photos in it you need import them to iPhoto then trash the imoort(ing) folder.

Browsing---long delays states it is 'loading' second third attempt works fine.

When I enter a search topic---there is a long delay--tool bar states 'searching'. If I then re-enter after going out of the screen and then in again---the same thing happens. If I repeat the above---after two or three times search commences like normal.
I find this very frustrating. If I go to another search engine this does not happen.

Long delay on KDE login caused by Pulseaudio

Hi all,
I am experiencing an annoying delay after logging into KDE. This happened very recently, where I moved to pure systemd and upgraded kde (I am not sure what the exact cause is). It looks like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1157890, but instead of not starting, I get a long delay.
Example:
timestamp 0 - login
timestamp 8 - desktop is loaded partially and startup freezes
timestamp 33 - loading the desktop continues
This is very reproducable, I logout and login again - the issue repeats with the same times. I have isolated the problem to /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11, line:
/usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp "display=$DISPLAY session_manager=$SESSION_MANAGER" > /dev/null
Stracing it shows that it freezes after sending the load-module command to pulseaudio over the native socket in /tmp/pulse-XXX/native and waiting for a response. This takes about 25 seconds, the same as in the example above.
The above timestamp tests have been performed by adding the next to ~/.bash_profile:
if mkdir /tmp/checks 2>/dev/null; then
for ((i=0; i<=40; i++)); do
[ -d /tmp/checks ] || break
p=00$i
p=${p:0-2}
ps xww -o user,pcpu,cmd >> /tmp/checks/$p-ps
cp $HOME/.xsession-errors /tmp/checks/$p-xe
sleep 1
done
fi &
I then use the next to check the differences between two ps outputs (after using wc -l to count the lines in the files and using `date -r XX-ps` to check the timestamp):
read a b; colordiff -u <(sed 's/[0-9]\.[0-9]//' $a-ps) <(sed 's/[0-9]\.[0-9]//' $b-ps)|less -r
Similar to http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermai … 11721.html which appears to be solved, but not for me.
Does anyone else experience this issue? Any solutions?
System is up-to-date, KDE 4.9.1, pulseaudio 2.1, systemd, laptop.
Edit: the problem occured since I patched kdm to set XAUTHORITY (not sure if that is related), after replacing with the original kdm binary, the issue seems to be gone is still existent.

Well yes, that just avoids the issue by preventing start-pulseaudio-x11 from starting. I'll try that workaround until a real solution shows up. Thanks for your reply.
I'll try this patch from Ubuntu quantal does not seem to work:

Long delay when trying to save print as PDF

For some reason, there is a long delay, usually up to five minutes, before the system will allow me to save a print as a PDF. I ran disk utility and no issues arose. Anyone know why this is happening?

HI,
Make sure there is enough free space on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Web pages taking long time to load

My webpages on safari are taking a long time to load. Any ideas on what may be causing the problem?

Non-responsive DNS server or invalid DNS configuration can cause long delay before webpages load

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed but it still kept getting stuck on the apple loading screen.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!

Quicktimes taking very long time to load-Big Q appears instead.

When posting ipod (small) quicktimes to my .mac account (4 per page), the site is taking a really long time to load-a large Q appears instead of the usual Quicktime video frame for a few minutes. They eventually load, but it takes a long time. I've used this program and these files for a year without incident, and now there is this huge delay for my clients. The files aren't very big 2MB-20MB.
Maybe it's my Safari or Firefox acting up?
Here's the site if anyone is able to have a quick look and tell me if it loads quickly on their machine:
http://web.mac.com/chopperfilms/iWeb/Steve%20Gaskin/Projects%201.html
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

To wait for 27MB to load is too big or rather long wait for your audience/visitor. Set poster frames for all and use movie ref to load only the one the visitor chooses so they don't get the letter 'Q' and use 'fast start' so loading long or big files feels like less waiting. Were poster frames and movie refs getting done automatically by iWeb before?
I am actually getting the letter 'Q' with a question mark in it 60/40 percent of the time in a QuickTime I posted which I am trying to figure how to get rid of.

Since downloading Rosemite I have had long delays in starting up my iMac ?

I downloaded Yosemite on my iMac on 20.10.14 and have been experiencing long delays in starting up each day ?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes   after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract—not at the end.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A GPU restart report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".gpuRestart". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
