MacBookPro mid-2010 setting up WiFi connection takes more than 5 seconds

When I open the lid of my MacBookPro (mid-2010), it sets up the WiFi connection. This takes about five seconds. If I unlock my iPad, the connection is there almost immediately. Is there a way to speed up the MacBookPro, setting up the WiFi connection?
Still running Snow Leopard, not Lion.

Have a cup of coffee while you wait the five seconds.

    Then I must quit and restart iTunes every time to continue to read my films. I repairedmy permissions, I restore my 2 AppleTV2 but that do nothing. I concluded that it is a loss of wireless connection. I do not know exactly what to do ...
    If anyone can help

  • Iphone 5 wifi connecting distance less than 3 meters

    My iphone 5 has not been connecting password-protected wifi, also wifi in Macdonalds and starbucks. Finally I find problem: The distance, I put iphone 5 within 3 meters from router, it connect wifi well, but more than 3 meter, lost connection or internet not working.
    I believe it's hardware problem, but apple store said it's not, it's the problem of router setting. My iphone 5 just two months, the reason I bought iphone 5 is the quality and easy to use, but it's wrong for iphone 5,

  • Oracle connection takes 5-6 seconds in VS 2005

    hi all,
    i am a developer just switching to Oracle after SQL Server and though i make everything work properly, i am having performance issues while connecting to the Oracle Server. to open up a connection takes 5-6 seconds or even longer and querying large chunks of data does not even take a second. what maybe the problem? i am using VS 2005, 10G with ODP.NET
    thanks

    hi there Greg,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes it is specific to ODP. SQL Plus or TOAD connects very fast. but when the statement conn.open() is executed somewhere in my code, it takes a while for the connection be opened. and this is sometimes 10-15 seconds.
    I checked the SQLNet.ORa and the option you mentiond is set to NTS. I did change it to NONE, but did not change anything.
    Any other ideas

  • Simultaneous connection of more than one unit of GPIB device

    Dear all out there,
    Would anyone has any idea/ solution in programming of ATE that makes Simultaneous connection of more than one unit?
    What's the better, if not the best, way of initialisation, acquisition and report generation for such system? without significant delay incurred.
    For instants,
    1. Initialise X number of, say, Agilent 34401A multimeter (GPIB)
    2. Acquiring of meter readings from each meter, limit check and write to respective report
    Any idea/ sample code/ solution is very much appreciated.

    With many instruments there are two types of "initialise."
    One type, which is a reset, choose range, etc., as you suggest can
    be done at the beginning of a program or section of a program.
    However, the other type of initialize is to sent the SCPI INIT command
    to the instrument. This command tells the instrument to take a measurement
    (or scan of measurements).
    When dealing with multiple multimeters, there are at least 2 ways of
    handling measurements. The slow way deals with one instrument at a
    time -- using the SCPI commands INIT, wait FETCH?, or perhaps just READ?
    sent to each instrument. It is slow because each instrument must wait
    for the previous instrument to finish before it can start.
    The better way is to set up each instrument for the desired measurement.
    If simultaneous triggering is needed, either use some type of external
    trigger or BUS trigger if the instrument can use it. After all instruments
    are set up, issue the INIT command to each instrument, then trigger.
    when all measurements are completed, use the FETC? command to get the
    results from each instrument. Note that there may be Plug&Play drivers
    to issue these commands for your instrument.

  • Ldap search query takes more than 10 seconds

    LDAP query takes more than 10 seconds to execute.
    For validating the policy configured, the Acess Manager(Sun Java System Access Manager) contacts the LDAP (Sun Java System Directory Server 6.2) to get the users in a dynamic group. The time out value configured in Access Manager for LDAP searches is 10 seconds.
    Issue : The ldap query takes more than 10 seconds to execute at some times .
    The query is executing with less than 10 seconds in most of the cases, but it takes more than 10 seconds in some cases. The total number of users available in the ldap is less than 1500.
    7 etime =1
    6 etime =1
    102 etime=4
    51 etime=5
    26 etime=6
    5 etime=7
    4 etime=8
    From the ldap access logs we can see the following entry,some times the query takes more than 10 seconds,
    [28/May/2012:14:21:26 +0200] conn=281 op=41433 msgId=853995 - SRCH base="dc=****,dc=****,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(&(***=true)(**=true))(objectClass=vfperson))" attrs=ALL

    The query was aborted by the access manger after 10 seconds.
    Please post your suggestions to resolve this issue .
    1.How we can find out , why the query is taking more than 10 seconds ?
    2.Next steps to resolve this issue .

    Hi Marco,
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    Sorry for replying late. I was out of office for few weeks.
    1) Have you already tuned the caches? (entry cache, db cache, filesystem cache?)
    We are using db cache and we have not done any turning for cache. The application was working fine and there was no much changes in the number of users .
    2) Unfortunately we don't have direct access to the environment and we have contacted the responsible team to verify the server health during the issue .
    Regarding the IO operations we can see that, load balancer is pinging the ldap sever every 15 seconds to check the status of ldap servers which yields a new connection on every hit. (on average per minute 8 connections - )
    3) We using cn=dsameuser to bind the directory server. Other configuration details for ldap
    LDAP Connection Pool Minimum Size: 1
    LDAP Connection Pool Maximum Size:10
    Maximum Results Returned from Search: 1700
    Search Timeout: 10
    Is the Search Timeout value configured is proper ? ( We have less than 1500 user in the ldap server).
    Also is there any impact if the value Maximum Results Returned from Search = set to 1700. ( The Sun document for AM says that the ideal value for this is 1000 and if its higher than this it will impact performance.
    The application was running without time out issue for last 2 years and there was no much increase in the number of users in the system. ( at the max 200 users added to the system in last 2 years.)
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • Ipod mini cant take more than 20 songs

    About 2 versions of itunes ago my ipod mini stopped being able to take more than 20-30 songs. I do not synch my mini as it can't hold all the songs I have in itunes. But when I try to drag songs it won't take as much as it used to. I've restored 6 or 7 times and it seems to get worst. I can drag one song at a time but around the tenth it copies really slow and by the time I get to the 20th it just hangs on copying and i have to force quit.
    I have an old mini from 3 years ago. It's never been dropped or anything like that. Any thoughts?

    When iPod Mini is ON Hold down the center and menu button. When you see the apple you will need to hold the center button and the play/pause button! Here are apple's steps! Then restore you iPod Mini
    Learn how to manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
    When troubleshooting an issue with your iPod, it's sometimes helpful to manually put it into Disk Mode. Read the instructions below for iPods that have a Click Wheel. If you're not sure if your iPod has a Click Wheel, click here. In order to return it to its normal operating state, you will have to reset iPod. The instructions in this article do not apply to iPod shuffle models.
    Putting iPods with a Click Wheel into disk mode
    Before placing the iPod into disk mode, you should verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect"
    If you are having difficulty putting the iPod model into disk mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center.
    If you are still unable to put your iPod with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into disk mode you should verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect
    Now click RESTORE to restore you iPod Mini

  • Can printer connect to more than one network?

    Hello.
    I just bought the wireless HP deskjet 3050 printer. I've connected it to the internet (network) and it's working perfectly. Is it possible to connect to more than one network? We have more than one internet line in the house so I was wondering if I can set it up for both lines. I understand that I can print with multiple computers on the same network (and I am able to do so), but how about on different networks?
    Thanks.

    No, it only has one network connection device so can only connect to one at time, sorry.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Splitting an event takes more than 3 min

    Hi,
    I have about 8.000 photos in my library and 2.500 photos in a single event. Now I want to extract a set of pictures from this event and move it in a new event. Is there a faster way doing this than splitting the event before and after the set of pictures? This created 3 events and then I have to move the 3rd event back into the first, the 2nd event is what I want to keep.
    BTW, with over 8.000 pictures in the library, is it normal that splitting an event takes more than 3 minutes?

    Danielle
    Flag the pics you want to move to the new Event and the go Events -> Create Event from Flagged Photos. That will probably be faster.
    BTW, with over 8.000 pictures in the library, is it normal that splitting an event takes more than 3 minutes?
    I wouldn't have thought so, but it might take a while with an Event that has more that 2,500 pics in it. Remember, Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents). So splitting an event literally means creating a folder and moving files to it and so on.

  • [Solved] File "Save As" takes more than 20s before dialogue box opens

    Whenever I use File "Save As" in any non-kde application (eg firefox, medit, kino), the dialogue box opens immediately but then takes more than 20 seconds to display the contents of the initial directory, after which I can then save the file. Alternative directories can then be selected instantly without problem.  Starting File Save As again, causes the same long delay, so its not a caching issue.  This occurs in XFCE4, LXDE & KDE.
    KDE apps, however, list the contents virtually immediately, indicating that its not a disk or filing system problem.
    The XFCE4 theme (under Appearance > Style)  is Foresight, and the icon theme is Nuvola.  Changing these does not make any apparent difference.
    This is on a SATA drive with 84 GB free running Arch 64.
    Can anyone suggest how this can be rectified?
    Last edited by Cotton (2010-01-01 19:19:12)

    Many thanks for that - problem solved. 
    The file contained 323 lines pointing to a single directory with multiple subdirectories, none of which was a removable device.
    Moving the file to another location, resulted in the File Save As operation functioning properly.
    Not sure if I actually use gtk-bookmarks as it hadn't been modified in over 6 months.
    Anyway, thanks again - its made a big difference.
