My external hd take a long time to be recognized

why does my external hard disk take a very long time to appear on the desktop when i connect it to my mac or my other friend's mac? even though it doesn't take any time at all when i plug it into my windows!!.. and i know many people with this problem.. why is that and anyway to speed it up?

I'm in the same boat. Using POP. Thunderbird pulls messages downs almost instantly.
Mail.app often puts up the "loading..." animation for 1-15 seconds.

What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
See if working on the main disk is any faster.
USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go. And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too. FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

Having moved my Itunes folder to external hardrive and resetting where it is in preferences Itunes can't find them and I have to direct it to every song - I have a months worth of songs on there so this will take avery long time - any ideas on what;s up?

Having moved my Itunes folder to a new external hardrive and resetting where it is in preferences Itunes can't find them and I have to direct it to every song- a little ! pops up next to the song and a dialogue box says Itunes can't find it so thn i have to manually search for it - I have a months worth of songs on there so this will take avery long time - any ideas on what's up?

That's not how to do it. You don't move stuff then set the iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Once you move the /iTunes/ folder, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the ITunes folder on the external.
This will use the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder you moved.
Don't change iTunes prefs > Advanced.

It takes a long time to open an app and sometimes it will just crash, any idea how to fix it?

My four year old Macbook Pro couldn't start yesterday and after going through solutions and all, it worked. But now it's freaking laggy and whenever I want to open an app, it takes a long time or the app will just crash. Any idea how to fix it? I really need the speed and everything back.

noeleeeen,
so you have an external hard disk, onto which you deleted/moved files from your internal hard disk, so that you now have 143 GB or so free on your internal hard disk — is that correct? Is the external disk purely for backups (e.g. a Time Machine destination), or does it function as a supplement to your internal disk?
Was it entirely your personal data files (documents, photos, movies, music, &c.) which you’d deleted or moved to the external disk, or did you also delete/move apps, libraries, &c. over there?
I’m not familiar with Echofon Lite, so I can’t comment on it, but an Apple-supplied app like the App Store shouldn’t crash.
Have you tried running Disk Utility yet, to see if its verification process gives your disks its seal of approval?

Takes a long time to select a files when importing files

When I am selecting a files through the import function, it takes a long time (sometimes 5 minutes) for the computer to allow a file to be selected. I have just reformat the drives and did a fresh install of all application. I am running OS 10.4.4 on a G5 2.7. This happens irregardless whether I am selecting a file on an external drive (Firewire 800) or internal drive. Any clue, anyone? please help. Thanks

What are you importing?

Exchange 2013 mailbox takes a long time to connect with Outlook 2010

We just installed a 2013 CAS/Mailbox server in our Exchange 2007 environment and are running in coexistence while we migrate users over. So far I have only moved one 2007 mailbox over, a new account used for testing. Everything is working fine, OWA,
ECP, ActiveSync, etc... When connecting Outlook to a 2007 mailbox autodiscover takes a couple seconds and Outlook opens fine. The problem is when connecting Outlook to a mailbox on the 2013 server. Autodiscover takes about a minute before it finally finds
the settings and the mailbox takes about 30 seconds to open everytime. It generally times out, I click retry and the mailbox opens. Once in everything is good but the initial loading always takes a long time, double the time when opening Outlook with a shared
mailbox attached. All autodiscover is autodiscover.domain.com, Exchange 2007 is all legacymail.domain.com aside from the components that need to point to 2013. We do not have any certificate issues, well that's not true, at some time in the last couple years
someone applied a 3rd party cert to our domain.com root but not sure if that would cause this issue. Also, these are internal clients we are trying to get going with the 2013 mailbox, not external. I just applied a registry change that helped someone else
out there by disabling IPv6 for all components but that did not work for us MS KB929852. Any suggestions? Right now I am thinking of changing the internalURI for autodiscover to the FQDN of the server but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

Hi Angela, thanks for the response. I cannot post links or pictures as my account has not been verified?
The autoconfiguration tests passed, I will paste the xml below. Ping times were all under 1ms. When I entered the IP for the 2013 serve I received errors that the connection to Exchange is unavailable followed by another one that the name cannot be resolved.
I did this test by removing the Outlook profile and creating one manually without Autodiscover. I am able to ping the server by all names from the command prompt.
Our autodiscover.domain.com points to our 2013 server and the name is resolvable both internally and externally. Our certificates cover the internal server name fqdn as well as external names. I am doing all testing in the internal network.

On an pci_mio 16e4 programming using nidaq & visual basic, after using AI_Setup analog sequential data accusition stops.To restart I use Init_DA_Brds This takes a long time, What must I reset to restore the analog sequential function?

I belive that the trigger is being changed on the io board, but cannot manage to reset it.
The reset process takes in the order of 0.1 sec, and since this is a time critical application, i want to get the scanning function working again faster

Dear Ian. Thank you for your reply. The problem appears to be that the scan trigger(s) are stopped, or something, by the use of the AI_setup instruction. The sytstem works perfectly until this instruction is used. My problem is in understanding what has happened since the help seems to give no detail on any interconnection between the scan system and the external analog trigger system. I have tried to reconnect the triggers, but so far unsucessfuly

Time machine takes very long time

Time machine takes very long time to write the back up.
For writing 2,33 GB (from 26,33GB) it takes abou14 hours and I don't know, why it is so very slow. I work with USB 3.0 2 TB external hard disk drive.

Firefox takes a long time to close since a recent update and hogs memory.

Since one of the recent updates that started using plugin containers, Firefox takes a long time to close. If I try to go back it, it tells me it is still running. I liik in Task Manager and about seven plug-in container. exe's are running and I have turned off or disabled mostplugins and addons, even Quicktime. Firefox uses an obscene amount of RAM on my XP machine and has made it sluggish. I use XP SP3. This started after you added the plugin containers in one of the recent updates earlier in the year. For the features it offers me or doesn't offer me, rather, it uses way too much RAM and is too sluggish. And takes a very long time to close out when I close the browser. It uses about twice as much RAM as it used to.

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

Macbook takes a long time to recognize power soure

Hello,
I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 that is exhibiting some strange behavior in regards to the power source. When I plug the power cord in it takes a while, sometimes as long as 3 minutes to recognize that it the computer is no longer running on battery anymore. Similarly it takes a long time to realize it's no longer running via a power cord when I remove the power cord from the machine. In all cases it eventually catches up and makes the proper switch, but I'm a bit concerned as this behavior is relatively new. I've tried swapping out power cords and it doesn't make any difference. I only have one user on the machine but could create a test account and try to see if this behavior is account specific if someone things that is worthwhile. Another thing to note, I believe the battery level indicator is correct, because often when it catches up after I've inserted the power cord the percent full jumps a couple of digits, as if it'd been charging for a while. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas that I could try to remedy this? So far, I've really only tried repairing disk permissions as I've never seen an issue like this before. Thanks.

How long is "forever"?
Create a new user account. Log out of the original and into the new one, then put the machine to sleep. Any changes?

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.

Import of Apex Application to another instance takes a long time

Hi,
I have developed an apex application which is of size -24 MB .While importing the appl to another instance it takes a long time (few hours). The imported appl is working fine so far.
What should be the ideal time for the import of this size appl ?
Is it the usual due to the size of the app or some thing is wrong with the app ?
Any one can please throw some light on this, as I am unable to figure out if it the appl issue or the DB issue.
Thanks in advance!

The application is getting imported and running, so you do not really have a problem in hand.
24M is big, but not all that big to run for hours.
The time taken depends on the resources available on the server where you are trying to import. If the load on that server is high then the resources will be shared between all the processes run on it, and the import process will run longer.
Monitor disk and CPU usage, it will provide you some clues. Try importing at offpeak time and it should run faster if there is a server resource issue.
Regards,

My iPad air 2 takes a LONG time time to charge

So I recently got a IPad Air 2 and I have used the 10w charger which it came with but it takes a LONG time to charge. In around 1 hour is only goes up around 10% and the charger gets quite hot. Also sometimes it displayed the message,"Not charging," up in the corner where the battery symbol is. Now I got the 12w wall plug charger and it's abit faster and the charger gets hot but not as hot as the other one just warm. I haven't had the message,"Not charging," yet.
Has anyone had the same issue or can help because I don't think It is a battery issue as the iPad air 2 is brand new and I only got it 2 days ago.

Mine is a new IPAD Air and I have about 50 apps - the device has been trying to download/sync my apps overnight and it is nowhere near done......I have been trying to do it through Itunes leaving it with the IMAC (syncing computer) overnight but it is nowhere near done......
The IMAC uses a wireless connection for Itunes, etc.....
As of now the IPAD Air is showing that it is downloading but I wonde whether I should shut it down and restart?
The downloads have been going on for about 12 hours.....

Why it takes a long time for my MacBook Air to turn on?

I brought my MacBook Air at a Power Mac Center to fix vertical lines on the screen. The vertical lines were removed. But since then, when I turn on my laptop, it takes a long time before it actually turns on. Sometimes, after pressing the power button, something seems to run at the upper left corner of the keyboard (near the power adapter) but it takes me practically hours before it actually turns on.
And when it is turned on already, I observed some unusual behaviors happening:
- Sometimes, while it is turned on, the battery status in the menu bar looks operating normally, but after a while, the trackpad will no longer work until the battery status says, "No Battery Available" and "Power source: Power Adapter".
- Sometimes, several horizontal lines appear on the screen then after a while the laptop will hang up.
- Sometimes, the sound sounds abnormal then after a while the sound no longer operates, and when I check the Sound at the System Preferences, it says, "No input devices found"
- Several applications do not work anymore, like Calendar, TextEdit, Reminder, Facetime, Preview and others.
Please help me figure out the problem. I cannot use my laptop as regular as before. I can no longer catch up with paper work deadlines because of these problems.

Please, help me. I need an immediate response so I could try to fix the problem because I need to use my laptop right away. Pls help.
