Mouse takes long to connect after powering on

I've had my MacBook Pro & Magic Mouse for three days, and absolutely love them so far. I've only had one problem so far, but I'm going to assume it's just something I am doing wrong so maybe someone here can give me a tip.
When I turn my MacBook off, I like to hit the power switch on the bottom of the mouse, since there is no need to waste the batteries while I am not using it (assuming it still uses battery power when the mouse is idle). Now my problem is, when I power the MacBook back up and turn the mouse on as well, the green light will flash for about 5 minutes, until it finally starts working on my MacBook.
Is it normal to take this long for the mouse to start working again, or is there something I am doing wrong?

Jasper84,
Reminds me of the old joke:
Patient: "Doc, it hurts when I do this"
Doctor: "Don't do that"
The Magic Mouse has an automatic sleep mode when not in use to preserve batteries. There really isn't a need to turn them off. I keep mine on all the time.
That said, you might be able to improve connection time by going to System Preferences > Bluetooth > highlight the mouse in the left box > hit the gear icon below the list > select "add to favorites".
Regards,
Captfred

In OS X 10.4.10 Air tunnes and other stuff takes longer to connect

Since I upgraded to OS X 10.4.x everything that is wireless takes longer to connect. For example iTunes takes like 13sec. to connect to the Airport Express. My Logitech bluetooth mouse takes like 17sec. to reconnect when it looses signal. And in Safari when I am listening to audio samples in Amazon.com it's like 1992 again it takes 20sec. to hear a 30sec. sample. All of this used to be much faster in OS X 10.3.9.
Does anyone notice this, and if so, is there a way to make things a little bit snappier?
Thanks

Try doing a power cycle.
Shut all the computers, routers, airports, expresses...turn them off.
Wait a few minutes, then turn on again:
modem first, then router, then expresses, then computers.
This may not be the complete fix, but it may help the network sluggishness.

Why does it take longer to connect to my wifi network on Lion?

Since upgrading to Lion on my older MacBook Pro I've noticed that waking from sleep, it takes airport sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds to find my wifi network. This never was the case with Leopord or Snow Leopard. Is this a known issue in Lion upgrades or is something wrong in my Network settings?

Hard to say definitively - nowhere near enough information, I'm afraid. One thing that I'm wondering is exactly what sort of drives you've put in the new machine. For instance, if you've put hybrid drives in it, then yes the stuff that gets used frequently (OS) may well load fast - but everything else will take significantly longer. Especially this would apply to large audio files. The other thing is .pk files. If you've turned those off, then large sessions will inevitably take longer to load (with Audition 3, at any rate) than they would have done otherwise. This situation appears to be a lot better with CS6 and CC, FWIW. But they have been completely rewritten, and designed to run on newer OS's, which Audition 3 simply isn't. Yes it will work fine - just won't be as effective in operation as the later software.

Windows 7 brightness reverts back, wifi takes long to reconnect after sleep

Hi fellow members,
My brightness setting keeps reverting to max. I have tried setting via power manager and also from control panel.I can adjust but when the computer restarts, the brightnes reverts to max. It started happeing around a month ago. I didn't have these issues until about 2 months ago. I have had my x301 for over an year without issues.
Another issue I have been experiencing is that wifi takes a long time to reconnect after sleep. About 5 minutes. This is also a new issue.

Check in the Windows power profile for the brightness issue. Windows will apply it's own at boot, then Power Manager will override, which leads to a momentary discrepancy.

Adobe reader app takes longer to launch after update, why?

After updating my adobe reader I have found that when every I try to launch the app it takes a significantly longer time to load then it used to. Is this the problem with the app itself or is it because I have updated my ipad to the newer ios system, ios 7?
Thanks.

Android 4.4 (KitKat) introduced big changes to SD card support.
Android KitKat Blocks Some Access to Micro SD Cards
You can find many other articles regarding the SD card problem by searching on the internet.
We will be investigating the problem.
To work around the problem in the meantime, could you copy some of the PDF files from your SD card to internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/...) and see if Adobe Reader can read from and write changes to PDF files on your internal storage. (It should work based on my limited testing. But please verify it.)
You can use any Android File Manager app to move/copy files. Samsung phones and tablets typically has "My Files" as the built-in File Manager.
Alternatively, you can transfer the PDF files to Acrobat.com (free cloud storage service) and access them from Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if any of the suggested approaches work for you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Garageband takes longer to load after the 5.2 update

I've found that Garageband '08 does not load correctly with the 5.2 update. Apparently, Garageband takes up to a minute or longer to load During this time, the initialization window is active, the Finder acts somewhat slower, and Garageband is listed as unresponsive in the Dock. Usually, it loads after a long period of time, and works, but once I quit GB, it has to load up for a long time again. I've seen in other threads that external iSight cameras and other audio-related peripherals can by the cause of this, but I do not use my FireWire iSight camera with my MBP, nor do I have any external speakers and whatnot. Right now, I just have Office 2008 installed alongside the other applications.
My question is what files, if any are conflicting with GB, should I look for? Or what would fix the problem as a whole? I understand that there were some other topics about this issue, but I don't think anyone has mentioned any tips in the past few days. I use GB a lot, so I could use some assistance. Any help would be appreciated.
-MacUser

Since I end up waiting at least 30 seconds to 2 minutes or so for GB to open, I need to figure out if I should just reinstall OS X with the restore disks and leave it at that until a fix arrives... I'd rather not though. Apple, come on, release a patch or some sort of fix for it!
I did try to recreate the problem by using a FireWire iSight but even after doing that and fixing it, nothing changed. I saw in one thread that some people have GB working correctly for them while others do not, so surely there is something somewhere wreaking havoc with GB. This is really odd.

My Mac takes longer to start after installing OS X Lion... is this normal?

I just made the upgrado of my OS to the new OS X Lion and in general my computer is working faster than before. The only probelm im having is that when I turn on my mac it takes significantly longer than before. I don´t know if this is normal with the new OS or is there anything I can do to speed up againi the starting process.
Thanks

The OS starting process itself is fine for me, but the time between turning on the macbook until the apple logo appears seems to be much longer now.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

IPhone 5s. After replacing my battery with a long life battery I was prompted to connect to iTunes after powering on. A download began and then aborted and was returned to same download screen. What can I do to resolve the problem?

After replacing my battery with a long life battery and powering up the phone, I was directed to plug into iTunes where a download began and then stopped, returning me to the screen instructing me to plug into iTunes again. I cannot get past this point. I even tried reinstalling the original battery but still have the same problem. How can I resolve?

Wifi no longer connecting after startup

wifi no longer connecting after startup... so I have to connect manually... started after 10.7.3
any ideas

Which computer are you experiencing this on?
There are several threads dealing with (mostly) iMacs + bluetooth keyboards/mice and issues with WiFi no longer automatically connecting. There seems to be some issue that 10.7.3 introduces with these series of macs.
No Apple provided solutions yet, but several workarounds: 1) attach a network cable direclty from modem/router to mac; 2) use the power button instead of mouse/keyboard to wake up mouse; 3) use USB keyboard/mouse (not personally confirmed); use airport extreme/express as a bridge.
Right now it's a waiting game until Apple provides another update. I do recommend going to Apple feeback: (http://www.apple.com/feedback/) and at least voicing your opinion. Calling AppleSupport will do the same, but they'll make you go through the same (likely useless) steps everyone else has done.
Good luck!

Delete Index in Process Chain Takes long time after SAP BI 7.0 SP 27

After upgrading to SAP BI 7.0 SP 27 Delete index Process & Create index process in Process chain takes long time.
For example : Delete index for 0SD_C03 takes around 55 minutes.
Before SP upgrade it takes around 2 minutes to delete index from 0SD_C03.

Hi,
Normally index creation or deletion can take long time in case your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check stat after your data loading is completed and index generation is done, Do creation of database statistics.
Then try to recheck ...

Database Connectivity takes long time if one of the Node is down .. ??

Hello All,
Env: 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10
I have 2 nodes.
When Node1 server is down, it takes long time to connec to the database.
tnsping would give "OK(2050ms)". Below is the tnsalias.
RAC_test =
(DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.123)(PORT= 1521))
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.127)(PORT= 1521))
     (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
          (CONNECT_DATA =
        (SERVICE_NAME = DK.com)
      (FAILOVER_MODE =
        (TYPE = SELECT)
        (METHOD = BASIC)
        (RETRIES = 180)
        (DELAY = 5)
)I put the trace on sqlnet.ora and found that first it pings to the "20.268.169.123",
since the Server is down there will not be any reply and this consumes the delay and
later it would ping "20.268.169.127" and connect to it.
If i keep "20.268.169.127" above "20.268.169.123" in tnsalias, and keep "LOAD_BALANCE=no",
it gets connected very fast, as its directly connecting to Node2. In tnsping i get Ok(40ms).
How do i reduce the connect timing if i use the first step. Why does it take long time for
Oracle Client to understand that the Node1 Server is down ?
TIA,
J J

I hope the IP's you are using in the TNS are Virtual IP's.
You must use Virtual IP's / hostnames for the failover to be quick. If Node 1 is not available then then it's (Node 1's) virtual IP would also get assigned to Node 2 hence all client connections are still able to get a response from the Node Virtual IP address without needing to wait for TCP/IP timeouts. This helps clients to get notified immediately that node 1 is unavailable and the connection tries the 2nd ip/host in the connect descriptor.
Hope this helps.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
