Firefox in my Mac is suddenly taking a long time to activate, my Mac seems to block as if it were a PC

It may be some dodgy settings or plugins causing that, I would say job one is to check out your extensions, as these can cause all sorts of issues. First, disable them all temporarily and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, turn them back on in turn and see if one in particular is causing the issue. If you find one, ditch it!
If the app is still slow, I would recommend backing up all your bookmarks, and then dumping any settings associated with the app. If you don't feel comfortable doing this manually, you may want to use a tool like Appcleaner to uninstall all of the application's files, and then reinstall a fresh copy from firefox.com.
Hope that helps!

My external library 100 GB on a 2TB drive is taking a long time to open.

Hey there,
I recently moved my library to an external drive. When I tried to load the external drive, it said it needed to repair and I let it happen overnight because it was taking a long time.
Now it seems to just freeze when I try to load the external library. Can someone let me know if there is something I can do to make this process speed up? Should I move some of my projects to another library and keep it off-line?
Thanks,
Austin

Could it possibly be due to videos stored in the aperture library? I think one of the folders has multiple GB of video... Just a thought.
If Aperture is freezing on opening, this can be caused by corrupted or incompatible media, but it would not explain the original error message your reported - "permissions".
When the repair finishes, try to launch Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If media cannot beprocessed, Aperture will hang, when it tries to generate the previews for those images or videos. If you can get Aperture to launch after deferring the preview generation, you could open the Activity window (Window > Show Activity) and then selectively try to generate previews for your last imported images and videos (Photos > update preview). The Activity window will show, what is currently processed, and perhaps you can spot, which of the files is causing the hang.

WebI Report is taking too long time to opening

Hi All,
When iam trying to open the WebI report in Infoview , it is taking long time to open and refresh,
Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
As the issue you are facing is that the webi report is taking too long to open and refresh, I would recommend the below steps.
1. Check whether the webi report is set to "Refreh on Open" if yes probably you need to uncheck, save the report and open it again.
2. Try to run the same query in the backend database and see if it returns the data.
3. Try to run refresh the report for a smaller data selection.
4. make the report run on a specific webi server, and when refreshing have your BOBJ admin monitor that process to see if the process is going in a hung state, using High memory etc.
5. restart webi process and run again
Thanks,
aKs

Photoshop CS3 Taking a Long Time to Open

This is a message for anyone whose Photoshop CS3 is taking a really, really long time (2 or 3 minutes) to load, and gets stuck on reading the Preferences.
YES, I DID try trashing my Preference file, and letting Photoshop rebuild it. But that did not work. It still got hung up on loading Photoshop.
What I found was that, somehow (and I'm still not sure how), I had many, many, many duplicate Tool Presets for all of my tools. They were duplicates of the default Tool Presets. In some cases, there were 50 or 60 duplicate Tool Presets for certain tools (i.e. Crop 8x10).
I used the Preset Manager to DELETE all of the duplicate Tool Presets. I did not just trash all the presets, because I wasn't sure which ones were custom presets that I had set up, and I wasn't sure if I had saved all my custom ones.
After deleting all of the duplicate Tool Presets, Photoshop CS3 now takes SECONDS to open. It's opens very quickly.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Dave.

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.

If you are able to get that information then please post. Have a good day.

AME Taking Really Long Time To Open Encoding Settings

With the release of the 2014 versions of AME, I have experienced really long wait times when opening the encoding settings for a job. For example, if I add a 1920x1080 image sequence to the encoder, pick Quicktime as the container and any of the available codecs, clicking on the codec name to open it's settings causes a really long delay, maybe 3 minutes, before the settings dialog will open. I am using a Macbook Pro with Yosemite. Previous versions before 2014 version never had this issue. Is this a known issue?
thx

This is a known issue with running AME on Yosemite. We are working with Apple on the issue and hope it will be fixed in an upcoming OS update.

Firefox is taking a long time to open the first time I click on it and also a dialouge box comes up stating firefox is already running, but is not responding, you must close existing firefox process? What is going on?

After I start my computer in the morning, I go to my email, then I click on firefox, with google as my homepage, it takes a long time for firefox to show up on the computer. It says it is connecting, then when I close firefox, and go to reopen it again, a dialog box opens up that says firefox is already running and I must close existing firefox process first. I have not run into this problem before.

* The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
* As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
* Then opening Firefox again.
Hopefully this helped somewhat!

ITunes taking a long time to open.

Hello, I was just wondering if there is an agent that I can open at start-up so that iTunes opens a little quicker. Is there anything that I can change in my setting on iTunes that would make it load faster? It just seemed to load a little bit to long. Thanks.

hiya!
that is an unusually long time.
okay, have any of the itunes and quicktime background processes been disabled on your PC?
Background processes installed with iTunes 6 for Windows
to check for that, have a look in MSCONFIG:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
(note that at this stage we're just checking to see that those processes and services are enabled. no need to disable anything else at this point.)

Problem-taking a long time to open Bex Analyzer

We upgraded from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0 SP9, Front End SP 9, Patch 3, Revision 370 and have a problem when we try to access Bex Analyzer. The response time is very poor. It can take as long as 3 minutes (or longer) for Bex Analyzer to open after we click on the Bex Analyzer option. When we were on BI 7.0, Front End SP 7, the response time was better but since upgrading to FEP 9, the time to open Bex Analyzer from our PCs is very long. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how was it resolved? Thanks

You might want to trouble shoot with web log from BINW2004s forum topper and Front end Champ Prakash ...

Apps taking a long time to open

Have a Macbook Pro w/4gb ram, and HD is 1/10th full. Don't see anything peculiar in the Acivity Monitor, but, apps take long to open. Any tips?

Hi,
Try resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if the issues are resolved.
Cheers,
GB
