Mavericks: sluggish at opening apps after reboot

So, here I go again.
I have narrowed down the problem to the following:
The only time apps take forever to open on my computer is after a restart.
After an app has been opened at least once, it will open immediately when you click on it.
So I guess my solution would be: run all your apps at boot rightaway, and leave the compute on
for the rest of the day?
Anybody else with a similar issue?
Guys, be aware that I clean-installed Mavericks twice; I have downloaded all fresh apps from the App store;
I repaired permissions repeatedly and, of course, I rebooted more than once.
Regards

Remove all apps from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac to test.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • Whilst connected to internet itunes will only open once after rebooting and thereafter it will not open again until reboot. When reboot with internet off itunes will open repeatedly. Help

      This problem has only appeared in the past few days before that I had nio problems with itunes. Firstly I discovered that I could only open Itunes once after reboot - thereafter it would not reopen until I reboot again.  I have spent considerable hours yesterday talking to the Apple help by phone and tried all there suggestions including of course reinstalling itunes amongst other things.  Eventually I thought the problem had been solved when I discovered that I could suddenly open Itunes repeatedly without rebooting.  After a short time I then discovered that the reason it was working agai was that I had rebooted with the internet disconnected and itunes would open repeatedly as normal provide I left the internet disconnected.  When I reconnect to internet the problem resurfaces. HELP

  • PS opening only after reboot

    So my Photoshop CC is opening ONLY after I reboot my computer. It's annoying, cause I have to turn on computer and then immidiatly reboot it to get PS to work. Before I do this, when I click on PS icon, nothing happens, it won't open, I don't get any error message.

    Here are some things to try:
    1. Be sure that Airport is at the top of the list in System Preferences > Network. And, be sure that your preferred network is at the top of the list in System Preferences > Network > Advanced.
    2. Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
    Restart.
    Try airport. Try your network. Try your browser.
    3. Try creating a new location from System Preferences > Network and then deleting the older one.
    4. Create a new admin user account and see if it works from there.
    5. Do a repair install of Sno. Just install Sno over Sno as though doing an upgrade installation. Do all the networking/internet tasks at the end of the installation if possible.

  • Error can't open display after reboot

    Hi,
    I encounter this problem :
    I just install SSGD 4.2 on Solaris 10 01/06 T2000 server. After installation I can connect to the SSGD using browser from my notebook, and can try the various demo (dtterm, xclock etc)
    I reboot the Solaris 10 OS.
    After reboot I tried to login again via browser in my notebook and try to run the various demo.
    I can login, but almost all the demo failed to execute, the X applications give error "can't open display:" with no hostname following the error.
    The only demo still runs is the vt420 demo
    Anybody can help me to point out what causes the problem ? I am trying to demo this SSGD software to a customer.
    Regards
    Adrianus B. Kurnadi

    I've noticed this as well, under Solaris 10 FCS, Solaris 10 U1, and Solaris Express nv_39.
    However, I have tried it out under S8 02/04, and S9 09/04 and I do not have this problem after rebooting the host at all.
    For the hell of it, I (rather badly) converted the S89/S90 startup scripts to be SMF manifests with S90Tarantella having a dependancy on tS89TarantellaWebServer as I thought perhaps there was a strange issue with the tta process starting before the web service had fully started (beats me why it would matter, ends up it didn't) - as my test S10 host is a slow Netra T1.
    I'd be interested to know what the difference is between it being started up via an rc2.d script and the root user logging into the system console running /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella start. I haven't even bothered starting to try to observe the environment differences between startup via SMF in S10 and init.d in S8.

  • Command-tab does not show open apps after sleep.

    In Mountain Lion, after the system goes to sleep, it no longer shows applications when I command-tab.  So it doesn't show the open apps.  Only Finder.  Also, it no longer shows the white dot beneath apps on the dock. I have to restart the computer.  Then it shows the open apps again, but the whole problem starts once the computer goes to sleep.  This problem has been occuring since the new install of Mountain Lion.  Any ideas?         

    My only solution is to never let the computer sleep, only the display.

  • 10.7.5 unable to find apps after reboot.

    Lately, after I reboot, Lion seems to "forget" where my apps are. When I try to open a file, I get either a warning that this is the first time I'm opening a new app, or that it can't find the app for the file I've double-clicked on, and asks me to find it. Besides being annoying, it makes me wonder if something's going wrong with my OS. This Intel Quad Core Mac Pro and Lion OS are just over a year old. Any ideas or suggestions?

  • Safari will not open, even after reboot

    I have been having all sorts of problems with my iMac since installing Mavericks (Gmail integration was freezing everything, Maps just didn't work).
    The latest is that Safari just will not open, period. I have rebooted several times and even reinstalled OS X via the Cmd+R on reboot, nothing. It hangs upon opening and needs a Force Quit. When restarting again, it asks if you want to reopen windows and it makes no difference if you say Yes or No.
    Any ideas on what to do?

    Try deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Mavericks: Delay in opening files after restart or sleep.

    Hi,
    I have an Early 2003 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and SSD Drive. I installed Mavericks from scratch twice and this problem persists.
    After my machine goes to sleep or rebooted, when opening MACINTOSH HD, it takes about 15 seconds to show the files within that folder. That delay is really starting to annoy me and I have done a restore from factory twice and the problem persists.
    Is this happening to you? How do I fix it?

  • Sysprep and Windows 8.1 -- missing Metro apps after reboot?

    So, I'm trying to figure out an issue with Sysprep and a clean-install Windows 8.1 64 Enterprise system:
    When I sysprep the computer from my admin account with my unattend.xml file, when it reboots, I'm only getting 7 Metro apps at the start screen and
    14 Metro Apps at the "all apps" screen -- things like Weather, Maps, Calendar, Mail, etc are missing -- and actually look like they aren't installed
    as searching for something like "People" -- gives no results.
    From what I've been able to gather, the behavior of the start screen should controlled by an appsFolderLayout.bin file, but when I first set up the initial
    account (not "administrator", but the initial local admin account), that file does not exist anywhere.
    I've tried creating the file manually by running:
    Export-StartLayout -As Bin -Path C:\Temp\appsFolderLayout.bin
    and either putting it in \Users\<myadminaccount>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
    or \Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
    and sysprepping again (after restoring a snapshot to the pre-sysprep/post-clean install state), but this isn’t making any difference.
    When I run sysprep /generalize — the .bin file is deleted and replaced by some other default one — that I’m not sure where it is generated from.
    Does anybody have any suggestions here?    Windows 8.0 just worked with my unattend.xml file without having to mess with appsFolderLayout.bin, so I’m not sure what I’m missing.
    Thanks!

    If you are still having trouble, this is an outline of the full process I use that seems to be consistently producing good results:
    - Install Windows 8.1 Enterprise with autounattend.xml, in particular, blank administrator password, add user account test, auto-logon as Administrator, run "net user test /delete" immediately after logon to get back to just having the administrator account.
    There should be no reason why all that has to be done in autounattend.xml, but it is the way I do it. There are a few other mandatory settings if you want a fully-automated setup.
    - At this point in time the Administrator account only shows a few tiles on the start screen, all actions are performed using the Administrator account.
    - Run Schtasks.exe /change /disable /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\AppxDeploymentClient\Pre-staged app cleanup" before the task has had a chance to run.
    - Install all applications, updates and settings as you want.
    - Run Sysprep, in particular blank administrator password, add user account test, auto-logon as Administrator, run "net user test /delete" immediately after logon to get back to just having the administrator account. Also importantly we set CopyProfile to
    false under Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup specialize pass. I don't know because I haven't tried it, but I imagine that if you run this and copy the Administrator profile to the default user profile then the default user profile may be missing some apps. We
    do all customization of the default user profile explicitly by loading the registry hive and editing it directly.
    After the image is deployed the Admistrator account has all the standard tiles present, but two of them report errors (I think it is Music and Videos). Any other profiles have all tiles present and all apps work.
    The full sysprep XML is included below in case it is useful to anybody. The company-specific settings and passwords have been blanked out, but otherwise it is the full one we use and fairly generic apart from the Australian settings. Note that this one is
    for a 64-bit image.

  • Can't open apps after 8.2 update

    Can't open any installed apps except Apple ones after IOS 8.2 update.
    Asks for itunes password but can't connect.

    I have the same issue.  when i open an app the screen rotates (even when the phone is on a flat surface and not moved) and the app crashes.  the only apps that work are the phone, messages, settings and other "built in" stuff from apple.  By built in mean apps that are pre-installed as even pages and numbers crashes in the same manner as all the others.
    i've tried re-booting the phone to no avail.

  • Retina macbook pro with thunderbolt ethernet adaptor drops internet connection on open apps after waking

    I recently started using a thunderbolt ethernet adaptor and every time my comuter wakes from sleep, all the apps that were open no longer use the internet connection.  I have to restart each one of them for them to be able to use the present internet connection. any ideas?

    So I've noticed similar behaviour on my Macbook Air. It's a slightly different set of kit, since it's connected to a Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock (http://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F4U055/). I'm on my second one of these because first one went back because it kept on dropping the internet connection (sounds familiar?) - and it *might* have been occurring when waking the system from sleep (I didn't make a mental note).
    Anyway the replacement was working perfectly, until today - when it's started to drop it's internet connection again, and this time I'm pretty certain that it's related to waking from sleep. The main difference now is that I *just* upgraded to Mavericks, and I wonder if the sleep problem has reared its ugly head again in the latest version of MacOS?
    All in all I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the reliability of thunderbolt & the Belkin Dock thingie. Although it should be said that a single lead from my Macbook Air to the Express Dock is simultaneously carrying: video (1920x1200), Firewire800, 3xUSB3, gigabit ethernet and sound, so I'm not that surprised this technology is prone to the odd glitch, and the cables get really warm too!
    It would be great to have some solid information from Apple/Belkin about this.
    Cheers, Jon

  • Can't open apps after iOS5.0 update

    I updated my iphone a couple of days ago and my phone says  I have iOS5.0. Unfortunately, no of my apps will open now. I can make and receive calls, text, but nothing else. Any ideas?

    Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.
