You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

I have a problem on the MUSE application. I changed my reference Saturday mail address. Since the operation, I can send my site project on Catalyst operating until then.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you have BES, then you need to talk to your BES admin for the proper method to activate your BB on BES.
If you do not have BES, then you should not even be going into anything related to Enterprise email...instead, you should see Internet or Personal email setup in addition to Enterprise. If you do not see Internet or Personal, then your device is not properly activated by your mobile service provider for BIS-level Internet/Personal email services...contact them for assistance.
Good luck and let us know!

Restarting computer takes a LONG time

My computer crashed last night. When I started it back up, the permissions on one of my internal drives in my Mac Pro that I store data on had changed. This caused some problems when trying to open applications with files stored on that volume (i.e. my Adobe Lightroom catalog). I fixed these issues, and then restarted my Mac. When I did, I saw this:
I've since restarted my computer a few times, and it's doing this every time.
Why?

I don't think so. I'm using an Apple extended keyboard via USB.
I wonder if it's possible something got messed up with the crash that preceded all of this, and it is somehow booting into Safe Mode?
I saw this article with a Terminal command to stop booting in Safe Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
Worth a try?

Xquery Problem for for takes really long time

I am having problems with an issue using doing an xml xQuery from Oxygen to a dbxml database.
I can't list the code because it is quite detailed and on a secure computer, but the concept is simple.
I have an xquery that looks like this:
Bunch of let statements
<results>
Let $y := "one"
For $thing in $list_of_things
More let statements
Where ....
Return
Html and more embedded xquery expressions including for, where etc.
</results>
I run a query with $y := "one" as above and it takes 1.5 seconds.
If I modify the query slightly by replacing the "let $y := "one" with an additional "for" it takes 250 seconds, though the results are the same as before.
Why did it take so long?
All I did was add the for which only has one item in it so it should do the same thing?!
Modified Query
Bunch of let statements
<results>
For $y in ("one")
For $thing in $list_of_things
More let statements
Where ....
Return
Html and more embedded xquery expressions including for, where etc.
</results>
Thanks for any help anyone can offer, Curt

Curt, perhaps you'd need to provide a bit more relevant detail and in simpler form in order to get a helpful answer. On the face of it, changing let to for in that position might have an impact simply because you are changing a simple variable assignment followed by a for clause to a nested for...for clause. Is your "one" value a dummy for demonstration purposes or the actual value in your code? On the face of it, it looks like for each loop of the first for, you'd be repeating the execution of all the subsequent code. Without more context it's difficult to judge what would happen exactly.
I suspect that if it's XQuery you're needing help with you'll get more responses on a dedicated forum. For help with DBXML performance issues you're probably going to need to tell people about your indices and be more explicit about their relationship to your query, in order for them to understand the problem.
If that's not helpful just review your code again and continue experimenting.

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 takes a long time to run 'X11.app' (with system log)

Hello everyone, English is not my mother tongue so may not be exactly correct, sorry about that.
Background:
I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and was running Leopard 10.5.
I did a clean installation and now Snow Leopard 10.6.2, with iLife, iWork, and many many apps.
I am the only one who will use the Mac and my user account is as the 'admin'.
I previously had a problem concerning X11 too:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343732
*What I've done:*
(1) rename my HD to 'Michaels_Home' under 'Get Info' from Finder (I can't rename in Disk Utility though)
(2) press return (enter)
(3) change my home folder path to the '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
(4) restart
(5) log in and open X11
(6) problem solved!!
==========
*BUT NOW* I have a problem after:
(1) log in as the root user, and use command +ditto -V xyz xyz+ to copy my home folder from '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' to '/Users>Michael'
(2) change my home folder path to the '/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
(3) use the Mac OS X Snow Leopard USD$29 disc to boot my Mac up
(4) delete the 'Michaels_Home' partition (I had 3 partitions: (1) Macintosh HD (2) Michaels_Home (3) Windows XP Professional)
(5) resize the 'Macintosh HD' partition
(6) boot from Macintosh HD
(7) find that there's a problem about X11
_The problem:_
it takes a *long time* for X11 to start.
When I try to open the 'X11.app', the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens.
Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just the X11 icon on the dock.
What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the app isn't running at the moment.
I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not responding'.
So, I open the *Activity Monitor*, and I can see there are 3 apps related to X11 are running:
(1) X11
(2) X11.bin
(3) xauth
*At the moment now, if you would wait for about 1.5 min., X11 will open.*
Please see below for the system log (from 'FREEZING' to 'WORKING')

So what actually causes this problem?
Thanks in advance!

It turns out that there's something wrong about permissions.
Here's the fix:
(1) log in as the +root user+
(2) type +chown -R Michael:staff ~Michael+
(3) log out the +root user+
(4) log in your account
(5) done!
Hope this thread will help those who encounter the same problem as me!

Computer takes too long o shut down

Recently noticed that sometimes when you turn off the computer takes a long time I have to keep the power bottom tight until it shuts down sure that , my question it is a hardware isues??? . Please can you tell what to do.
Thanks,
Oscar Velasquez

You shouldn't have to use the power button. When you choose Shut Down from the Apple menu in the upper left corner, how long does it take? How long have you left it trying to shut down? It isn't instant.

HT1498 After entering my password a message comes up that says I can only use this account in th US and returns to sign in screen. I am I the uS . Am I missing something?

After entering my password a message says I can only use account in US. Then returns me to sign in page. How do I rent a movie?

After a great deal of searching I ran across the suggestion to disable all plug-ins and then, one by one, enable them until finally the problem was solved. I am not sure which plug-in was causing the problem, as I am satisfied to have the problem solved. I am going to leave the rest of the plug-in disabled.

When Time Machine is backing up, my computer is so slow that it is essentially useless. Backups occur irregularly, and take a long time.

Hello,
Have you verified both drives in Disk Utility?
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

firefox problems after installing version 4.0

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for your prompt reply and my apologies for the substantial delay in mine.
We did some trouble shooting since then.
We repolved the problem by choosing a pdf format instead of the seeded RTF format. This opened up the output in a couple of minutes because the pdf formatted output was about 50mb vs the RTF output which was 300MB+.
But the ORIGINAL problem still remains. The xml tagged .out file is still huge with a size of nearly 1gb!
My earlier questions here now boil down to the following questions.
Q1. Is the huge XML Publisher's .out file expected in R12? It really is massive! The text file from 11i was just 19MB
Q2. Oracle does not seem to offer the option to format the output in plain text ...We see PDF, RTF but no plain ugly text. I would expect plain text file to be much smaller. How can we get the output in plain text?
1.Yes our stats are upto date. Let me emphasize that we do not have a performance problem with the report itself. The issue we are having is opening up the output.
2. The authentication error is resolved. It was because of formatting the reports incorrectly.
3. We did not use the usual tuning procedures such as tkprof because we do not have a performance problem.
4. We checked the OPP file and there are none. I reiterate, The report does complete without issues. It is just that the output takes a long time to open up in the RTF
I will appreciate if others can share any experiences if you have faced this situation and how you have handled it.
Thanks in advance for your time!

Takes a long time to connect to the internet when I first open an app

I bought my Macbook Pro Retina 13inch last weekend and I love it! Everything was working fine but over the last couple of days, when I first open an app, for example Safari, Google Chrome, iTunes, App Store, anything that requires an internet connection, it takes a long time to load up that first time, but after the first page has been loaded it works again fine until closing the app and re-opening it. When loading the App Store or iTunes it has even said an internet connection is required, even though my connection is fine and the other apps are still loading ok.
I first thought it was my WIFI connection but I have checked my router and everything seems fine, also my iPad and iPhone are still working fine with the internet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or can offer me a solution?

I am getting the same issue, on first starting safari the first page takes an age to load.. once it has everything is fine.
I have tried the 'Reset Safari' function but no difference. This only happens on my Macbook Pro Retina, Using safari on my iphone or ipad is fine. (I connect via ethernet too so its not a wifi problem.)
Any one got an answer to this yet?

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

Iphone seems to take a long time to charge when plugged in to USB

Hi MyIphone seems to take a long time to charge when plugged in to USB. Is this normal? Less power coming from the Laptop than wall plug?

Wow.. this completely amazes me. USB is 5v. Some computers (especially laptops) will shut off power to USB devices when the computer enters power saving mode. Very few will lower the power (since this could actually damage a device). I have noticed no difference in charge time between USB and the wall plug (I use the wall plug mostly when I travel, and USB at home). The only difference I can see is the wall wart puts out slightly more amperage then a USB port.

On my desktop at home the messages take a long time to enter. On laptop and other PC I don't have this problem.

Email messages take a long time to enter on my home PC (this is the pc I use for appr. 4-5 years now to read Thunderbird email.
On other thunderbird installed machines I don't have this problem, the mail enters quickly. Also when I connect at home (Wifi) with my laptop the email comes in quickly. So it is the thunderbird I am usiong on my desktop that has the problem.

Thunderbird or your anti virus or your network card.
My money would be on the anti virus. What do you use?
</blockquote>
I am using Norton on laptop as well as desktop PC.
Desktop is 4-5 years old, might be the network card by now. Can I check ?

Problem description: Computer takes a long time to fire up. Spinning ball is seen during start up, sometimes when login dialog box, and sometimes after entering login password. My mac freeze often, especially when using Lightroom-.
