  • Long Time Loading Home Media

    I have my Apple TV connected by ethernet and sometimes I get the 'Loading Media' on the screena and nothing happens, other times the media loads up fast.
    Never happened before when I had the ATV with the HDD obviously, but this very annoying.
    Is anyone else having this issue and does anyone know a work around?

  • EBay item pictures take a long time loading. Not so with Internet Explorer

    Last week I downloaded and installed Firefox 5.0. Ever since, and mostly noticeable on ebay where there are several pictures of each auction item, the pages load very slowly, certainly a situation that I have never experienced with any other version of Firefox.
    I checked out the same pages with Internet Explorer which I haven't used much at all since Firefox....and discovered no such loading problem. So it totally Firefox 5.0.
    What can I do to correct this
    My OS is Windows 7 with a lot of memory.
    I haven't noticed the same webpage loading problem on most other pages. Mostly with eBay. What gives?
    Thanks

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

  • Long time loading Safari pages...???

    What can I do to 'speed up' the loading of my webpages on Safari...it can sometimes take 2-3 minutes for a page to fully load...it's very frustrating and time consuming....

    Hi Robert
    I have found creating a personal location in your Networks Panel, plus using specific DNS server codes seems to speed things up on the Network side of the equation.
    Here's how to do that:
    Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
    - Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
    - Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
    - Back to the "Show" menu, select "Ethernet" or "Airport". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply". If you use Comcast, you'll have to contact them as they have their own DNS codes.
    Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations, hence creating the lag.
    In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open enter lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
    On the Safari side of the equation here are areas which can slow things down:
    Favicons - the small icon that appears in the Address window next to the URL is stored in an Icon folder in the your User Account Library>Safari folder. Over time, this folder can become quite large. One remedy is to move the Icon folder to the trash. Safari creates a new folder on the restrart. Again, over time the file will build a new icon cache based on web sites visited.
    Safari Cache - useful for dial-up, not useful for highspeed. Good to empty the cache via the Safari Menu each day.
    History - the larger the history (max is 999 entries/7 days), the greater potential for slower page loads. Good to review the History via the Bookmarks Manager (click on the book icon on the bookmarks bar), removing entries not deemed necessary.
    3rd party add-ons - These can create conflicts or slow-downs depending on the type used. Good to be discerning about what 3rd party items are used to supplement Safari's features. Also, making sure they are up to date is important too.
    Bookmarks - the larger the bookmark file, the more processor power required to access this file. Just as with History, good to keep this file clear of unnecessary bookmarks.
    Cookies - accessed via the Safari Preferences>Security panel. Good to keep this file current too.
    Autofill - accessed via Safari Preferences>Autofill. Depending on the number of items in the file, slowdowns can occur here too. If you are using autofill, click on the "edit" button to remove unnecessary items.

  • Long Time Loading Library

    I have a large iTunes library (4.6TB) recently Apple TV2 takes an age to read the library (5 minutes +), then having selecting something to watch it takes ages to start playing.
    Anyone else experiencing this and are there any workarounds (my Apple TV1 is still almost instant).

    I just got off the phone with an AppleCare tech and we got it all figured out. You will have to do a factory restore, so all of your settings will be lost but it will only take like 5 mins to get all of that plugged back in.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Restore. It will take about 3-5 mins to go through the restore porcess but it will be WORTH IT!! If this works, please come back and post that. Good luck!

  • SSRS Reports taking long time to load

    Hello,
    Problem : SSRS Reports taking long time to load
    My System environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1  and SQL Server 2008 R2
    Production Environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1  and SQL Server 2008 R2
    I have created a Parameterized report (6 parameters), it will fetch data from 1 table. table has 1 year and 6 months data,      I am selecting parameters for only 1 month (about 2500 records). It is taking almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds
    to load the report.
    This report running efficiently in my system (report load takes only 5 to 6 seconds) but in
    production it is taking 2 minutes 30 seconds.
    I have checked the Execution log from production so I found the timing for
    Data retrieval (approx~)       Processing (approx~)               Rendering (approx~)
    10 second                                      15 sec                        
                2 mins and 5 sec.
    But Confusing point is that , if I run the same report at different time overall output time is same (approx) 2 min 30 sec but
    Data retrieval (approx~)       Processing (approx~)                Rendering (approx~)
    more than 1 min                            15 sec                                     
    more than 1 min
    so 1 question why timings are different ?
    My doubts are
    1) If query(procedure to retrieve the data) is the problem then it should take more time always,
    2) If Report structure is problem then rendering will also take same time (long time)
    for this (2nd point) I checked on blog that Rendering depends on environment structure e.g. Network bandwidth, RAM, CPU Usage , Number of users accessing same report at a time.
    So I did testing of report when no other user working on any report But failed (same result  output is 2 min 30 sec)
    From network team I got the result is that there is no issue or overload in CPU usage or RAM also No issue in Network bandwidth.
    Production Database Server and Report server are different (but in same network).
    I checked that database server the SQL Server is using almost Full RAM (23 GB out of 24 GB)
    I tried to allocate the memory to less amount up to 2GB (Trial solution I got from Blogs) but this on also failed.
    one hint I got from colleague that , change the allocated memory setting from static memory to dynamic to SQL Server
    (I guess above point is the same) I could not find that option Static and Dynamic memory setting.
    I did below steps
    Connected to SQL Server Instance
    Right click on Instance go to properties, Go to Memory Tab
    I found three options 1) Server Memory   2) Other memory   3) Section for "Configured values and Running values"
    Then I tried to reduce Maximum  Server memory up to 2 GB (As mentioned above)
    All trials failed, this issue I could not find the roots for this issue.
    Can anyone please help (it's bit urgent).

    Hi UdayKGR,
    According to your description, your report takes too long to load on your production environment. Right?
    In this scenario, since the report runs quickly in developing environment, we initially think it supposed to be the issue on data retrieval. However, based on the information in execution log, it takes longest time on rendering part. So we suggest you optimize
    the report itself to reduce the time for rendering. Please refer to the link below:
    My report takes too long to render
    Here is another article about overall performance optimization for Reporting Services:
    Reporting Services Performance and Optimization
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Firefox takes a long time to load, even with add-ons and auto-update disabled

    When opening firefox it takes a long time (1 minute +) to load. The computer does not display any indication that firefox is loading (often leading to 2, 3 or 4 instances of Firefox trying to start due to my impatience).
    My OS is Windows Vista 32 bit
    Firefox is v4.0.1

    Can you check your Windows Firewall settings? It's possible that it's routing Firefox requests differently. At least one other Firefox user has reported that his Windows Firewall was set to block Firefox 3.6.

  • Repository corrupted/loading process is taking long time

    The repository load process is getting stuck at the below message for long time. We have disabled sort indexes on all look up tables but still it is taking huge amount of time to load the repository.Any information on this would be of great help.

    Regards,

    Hi Nitin,
    There are many performance improvement steps that one can take regarding this including verifying your repository.
    But i think it should only be a problem if this problem reoccurs.
    The accelerators get created when there is a change in table and update indices creates them,possibly there are multiple changes and load by update indices has not taken place for sometme thats why it is creating them.
    For better performance one can do following:
    Make a judicious choice of which fields to track in change tracking
    Disk Space has a huge impact on smooth functioning of MDM. If the disk space is not enough MDM Server cannot even load the repositories
    Have a closer look at data model and field properties
    Verify if your MDS.INI has this parameter: Session Timeout Minutes (Number. Causes MDM Console, CLIX, and applications based on the new Java API to expire after the specified number of minutes elapses. Default is 14400 (24 hours).When set to 0, sessions never time out.).When you have many open connections, this can to generate performance issue on MDM server
    Refer to SAP Note Number: 1012745
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

    my mac air died, after i reinstall from dvd drive, when i boot up again, i saw a prohibit sign showing up on the screen, then get to my logon screen.  After logon, it takes very long time to load any application.  pls help

    OK. If you believe that.
    When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
    I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

  • Firefox is taking a long time to open and load my home page, didn't happen while the old version. Also stops responding frequently.

    Hello there,
    I have been a loyal user of Firefox since 2005 and have never had and issue with this browser. It has been my top choice when it comes to using it in my devices along with suggesting to other people. The problem I have recently began to experience happened after updating to the newer version...4 or 5, not sure which. My Adobe Flash player is up to date and have no add-ons running that are not part of the default browser.
    When I click the icon it takes a long time for the window to show up and a good minute before the homepage shows up and is functional to use. I never had this issues with previous versions so I am assuming there might be some bug causing this particular problem. Also, when I am playing games Firefox decided to stop responding and I have to force quit so my games don't suddenly slow down. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.7; I also tested opening Safari and it opened and loaded the homepage is about 3 seconds, I don't wanna have to switch unless I have to. Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)

    Hi Donekes,
    First off I need a little more information to help with troubleshooting.  You say that an error occurs when you "try to re-open the same problem app before the old session completely exits".  Does the error have an error code or dialog display?  It may also be possible to receive an error log.  Here is a knowledge base that explains how to retrieve error logs.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/54E361E3FF477EC186256C320068184F?OpenDocument
    If you are able to get that information then please post.  Have a good day.

  • Application hang for long time (unable to load)

    hi and a very good day to all..
    i am a new user of J2ME and i am currently using Sun Wireless Toolkit to run a sample program. But, there are some error occur when i open it from the Open Project in Sun Wireless Toolkit. Once i click the launch button on the emulator, it will show the graphic but with a statement 'Please Wait'. it seems like my application is going happen to hang for quite a long time (i even can't open it at all). it happen every time i open my project and i unable to load my program successfully. i want 2 ask, is it because of teh coding? or my pc? or the Sun Wireless Toolkit itself? i never change/edit the coding, since this the sample application of Mobile Compass i downloading from the internet.
    there are bundle of code in my application (single application)..but the error 'Please Wait' basically come from 1 of the coding. i'll show it below:
    **THE CODE**
    package org.qcontinuum.compass;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
    import java.util.*;
    abstract public class Progress extends Form implements CommandListener, Runnable {
    private Displayable mParent;
    private Command mCancelCommand;
    private Thread mThread;
    // private Timer mTimer;
    public Progress(String title, Displayable parent) {
    super(title);
    mParent = parent;
    append(new StringItem(null, "Please wait...\n"));
    addCommand(mCancelCommand = new Command("Cancel", Command.CANCEL, 0));
    setCommandListener(this);
    mThread = new Thread(this);
    public void start() {
    mThread.start();
    abstract public void run();
    public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
    if (c == mCancelCommand) {
    Compass.display(mParent);
    p/s: is it the above error related to java.lang.NullPointerException? this is because, with unexpected situation, suddenly the compass program able to download successfully (only sometime), but still it give some error like below, and i still can select the Time Zone for my destination chosen from the given map.

    Hi,
    Do you have variable replaced by another query? If that is case, you will get performance issue, when the prequery is runnig when call var screen.
    Do you have variable replaced by authorization? If that is case, for the user will complicated authroization, it will take some time to fill it.
    In general, when the variable screen is calling, have you check in sm66, what is the work process doing? In RSRT->run this query with statistics, which part takes most time?
