Long reboot/load time after update installation... help!

I just bought a new iMac tonight and I installed the updates and my computer rebooted and has been on this blue screen with the circle loading symbol spinning... I don't know if its just stuck there or if its actually loading... its been nearly 2 hours!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Long bios load time with gtx970 - maybe need gpu bios update?

I just installed my gtx 970 and it all runs fine. However I get a very long bios load time on boot up. Normally it only takes a second or two with a single beep. With the 970 though I get the single beep and the bios load screen, but it sits at that screen for a long time, then another beep, waiting, eventually another beep, and after some more waiting windows will start to load.
My problem is that now I can also no longer get in to the bios. I have tried even plugging in a ps/2 keyboard to see if maybe that could get me in. The farthest I get after hitting delete to enter is I just end up at a black screen. My mobo has no onboard gpu output, so its not like its trying to go to a monitor I cant see.
So would any gpu bios updates fix this? I am currently at the latest bios for my board which updated it to a uefi bios.
cpu: i7-2600k (yes Im aware I will only have pcie2)
mobo: gigabyte z68 d3-b3
ram: 16gb
gpu: MSI gtx 970 Gaming (previous was an evga gtx 660)

Under bios features, is there a option called boot mode select?
Try to switch to "legacy only", save and reboot.
Are you using HDMI connector? Try to use DVI.
Sorry for my english!
I dont remember seeing any boot mode select. As far as connections I am using all DVI for my monitors. I have also tried only having a single one connected in case there were issues with multiple monitors

with those old boards, you need ME8 to works with modern cards
ask gigabyte support about it
Thanks Ill try emailing them. Is ME8 some other bios? Just never heard of it before
-edit
After reading up it looks like it was just a revision to allow ivy bridge devices, which happened a long long time ago on a bios update:
Support Intel 3rd generation 22nm E1 stepping CPU (Ivy bridge)
Improve power on issue
Update ME / CPU code
Unless theres something else Im missing about ME8

When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

Long Image Loading Times From LR to CS6?

Hello Folks,
I seem to be experiencing very long image loading times when loading an image into CS6 from LR4.
When I right click an image in LR4 and select edit-in CS6, CS6 immediately starts up, and loads. But after CS6 is fully up on my screen, I get
a spinning ball first, then spinning white/grey circles, until my selected image appears within CS6.
I am operatinng with an iMac 27 2.8G with 8G of memory and using SL 10.6.8 I have about 300G of free space on my HDD.
Any ideas or suggestion or settings in CS6 I might need to look at would be appreciated.
I never experienced this issue as I recall in CS5.
Jim

Curt,
Thanks, yes I do have the latest version of Snow Leopard, which is 10.6,8 and it is updated with all of the latest updates in drivers.

If the RAM and HDD have been ruled out, then it is either a motherboard or CPU issue, and would require service to repair.

Cannot longer browse the internet after updated 10.5 to 10.5.8

cannot longer browse the internet after updated 10.5 to 10.5.8

Did you repair permissions?
Did you backup your data prior to installing?
Are you using any non-Apple routers to connect to the modem?
Is this with a notebook or a desktop Mac?
Are there any other Macs with 10.5.8 or newer that can connect?
Does connecting directly to the modem work via ethernet, or are you on dialup?

Any reason for the long sporadic loading times during reboot

Hi guys,
Just wanna find out more abt my experiences of encountering long loading times during a restart (up to 5mins). I do see the apple logo and the spinning wheel and it spins for like 2 mins, moves on the an all blue screen and fixed there for another 1 min and then the loading OS X meter. I suspect that the long loading time could be the cause of new softwares that I've installed or that I didn't reboot for days. Anyone care to share their experience and views on this? Is this normal? I feel that its long because usually restarting only take 1min or so to reach my log in screen.

15 seconds for a restart here ... something's not right with 2-5 minutes.
- If you login as another user does it take as long?
- Have you run Disc Utility and Repaired Permissions lately?
- What about running the Daily and Weekly 'chron' jobs? (OnyX or MacJanitor etc)
- Have you got haxies or similar extras in your StartUp folder?

Windows 8.1 store stuck in the loading screen after update 1. pls help me!!

I also tried to re-register the store but still its stuck in the loading screen ! pls someone help me!!. its not working after the update 1. I can't download any apps

Hi,
How did you re-register store? Is there any error message when you couldn't open Store?
To resolve store opening problem, firstly, you can try to use WSRESET command to clear store cache for test.
Secondly, try to use APP Troubleshooter to fix this problem.

Long, long loading time after installing bootcamp to OSX

I installed bootcamp on my Mac OSX (MBP) in order to have access to Windows 7 programs. After a week, OSX was really really slow loading. After searching online, I decided to turn Spotlight off from searching partitioned drives. This worked great until today - it's happening again. I can't even open applications on OSX its so slow and the multi coloured pinwheel is constantly spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to go out and buy a second laptop because of this...

How much is free, relatively (it may be 250 free bot free out of what?).
OSX needs 15% free to use during routine operations. Doing BootCamp must account for this 15%.
Just asking again annd stating why to be sure.

Problem loading pages after update to Firefox 36

After updating from Firefox 35.0.1 to version 36, I am unable to load any pages in Firefox. (My internet connection is fine and I can use other browsers on the same computer.)
I've already tried many troubleshooting routines to fix the problem but none have worked. I've tried the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating
(including troubleshooting my Firewall and proxy settings)
and here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can
I've also tried the more general and extensive troubleshooting here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems
NONE of the suggestions in any of those pages solved the problem. Opening Firefox is Safe Mode did not help either. I was unable to load pages even in Safe Mode.
After following all of the steps in all of those troubleshooting guides and still failing, I uninstalled Firefox completely. (I followed all official directions on how to uninstall.) Then I re-installed Firefox VERSION 35.0.1. Firefox again worked fine with the older version.
Then I restored my profile from a backup using MozBackup. (My most recent backup was done when I had Ver. 35.0.1 installed.) Everything was still fine; Firefox worked fine and all of my settings were back to my preferences.
Finally, I again tried to update to version 36 - and the same thing happened! Unable to load any pages!
One other thing I've noticed: With version 36 installed, there is something wrong with my Options dialog. The first time I upgraded, I had only blank tabs for "General" and "Advanced"; with my second try, after updating to V 36 my Options dialog has blank tabs for "General" and "Search" (although Advanced is now showing.)
I am going to uninstall again, and again go back to V 35.0.1. But I would like to be able to update to the newest version. What can I do?
(I am a long-time Firefox user, and reasonably computer savvy. I have many extensions installed as I use Firefox as an important tool in my job as a website designer. I have Firefox extensively fine-tuned to my liking to optimize my work-flow.)
Any help appreciated!

Your message seems to have covered all the normal things we check.
When you tried using v36, did you have any add-ons? Have you tried;
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles'''
'''Windows: 32-bit''' C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p
'''64-bit''' C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p
'''Mac:''' Navigate to '''/Applications/Utilities.''' Open the Terminal application.
In the Terminal application, enter the following:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
'''Linux:''' In '''Terminal''' run: firefox –P
For users who have one or more builds from mozilla.org this will not work.
It would be best to have the full path so if you had placed the untared contents
in a folder in /home it would be /home/<username>/foldername/firefox/firefox –P
An easy way would be not to do it in a terminal but in say a launcher since
you have to point it to the firefox script in Firefox folder you can then add –P
on end. You can also have the exact "profilename" after the -P so Firefox
will start with that Profile.

3Gs no longer charges in car after updating to iOS 5

I got a weird problem after updating to iOS 5. In addition to the battery drain, my 3GS will no longer charge via a 12 volt car adaptor. I know the cable and the adaptor work because my son's iPod and wife's iPhone 3G both charge from them. The cable also has no problems charging my phone when it's plugged into the computer or a wall socket.
The battery drain is a bummer, but combined with no longer being able to charge in the car makes this a killer combination.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Regards,
John

You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
Have you contacted Honda?
