Rebooting taking 5 or more minutes

When I reboot my computer it takes forever to get to desktop. It stalls at apple then it stalls at bright blue screen. I have plenty of memory left. Also I did an applejack on it. I only have airport on at start up.

It's possible the delay may be due to your wireless taking too much time to connect, thus delaying the startup process. You may also have login items that simply cause the startup process to take longer. Open Accounts preferences and check what login items you have listed. Remove those you think you don't need.
However, there may be other causes. I would suggest you start by using one of the several utilities such as TinkerTool System to clean all user, system, and font caches as well as running the standard Unix maintenance scripts. Since you turn off your computer it is possible the maintenance scripts do not run. You will need to restart the computer.
I would also check your Startup Disk preferences to be sure you have your startup volume set as the default. Select your startup volume then click on the Restart button.
I would also do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

MacBook Pro startup time is taking 10 or more minutes!! Help!!!

My Macbook is taking 10 to 15 minutes to boot up. The apps also take a super long time to open. I've tried everything, hard erase, boot from installation disk, safe boot, zap pram, repair disk and permissions, single user mode, nothing works. Disk has plenty of space. Worked fine for a while after my hard erase. Then once I began to install things back on, the same issues started happening. I'm a designer, and I use adobe programs. These along with other apps just keeps bouncing, stops bouncing, then opens 5 minutes later. Please help

Hi,
It might be Group Policies causing the login process slow.
Remove any GPOs with Wallpaper or logon scripts on the user\computer account and try again.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

Back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with, as explained at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. This will remove the passcode.

Why is itunes change some that i didnt buy ? also they are taking 21.87 more then i spend.

I wouldn't worry about it as I have been charged twice for WWE Legends.
Have you signed in to iTunes? You may need to reinstall iTunes. Try syncronizing your apps from your iphone or whatever you are using to your computer. Otherwise I really can't understand what you are asking. Please be more specific next time.

How to obtain more minutes in one month?

I got 800 mnt plan how can I get another 800 mnt
[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Minutes"]

You can't, I'm afraid, according to == How do subscriptions work ? ==
"If you use up your minutes allowance before the end of your subscription period, you will be charged Skype’s standard rates until your minutes are reset the following month.
The newly purchased minutes will become active only when the billing period for the first one ends.
If you urgently need more minutes, we recommend you to buy the same package but with different amount of minutes or consider buying an unlimited subscription."

Music plays for some more minutes while deactivating android device

I have main menu(swf file) with music when I lock android device screen dims but music plays for some more minute and stops. I gave CurrentMovieClip.Stop(), in deavtive event. How could I stop music too while the screen goes please help me on this

If you've just added the sound to a frame (assuming you're using Flash), you can stop all sounds with SoundMixer.stopAll()
You would also need to import flash.media.SoundMixer.

Rebooting my 8900 takes more then 10 minutes :S

when i first bought my 8900 before 10 months, the reboot time was almost like 1-3 mins, now it takes more then 10 minutes how come ??
is there something wrong or what?
ive been googling this problem for more then a month now with no results ,,,,,
anyone can help ?

The amount of applications, can cause the slow reboot. I would suggest doing a test, backup your device then perform a wipe. (You will need to reinstall your applications again.)
Once the device is wiped, pull the battery then test the reboot time.
If its just as slow, you may want to try a clean application load of the device software. (Or you can do this anyway. It won't hurt)

Hope this helps.

I just received a Security Update from Apple for OS 10.6.8 and have experienced a severely slow reboot, taking 15-20 minutes. Applications take forever to load. Have rebooted twice... very slowly. What's up with this latest update?

When I clicked on the recent Apple Security Software Update, it took 15-20 minutes to install, and another 15 minutes or more to restart. Then everything was amazingly slow, as if nothing was happening... spinning gears, spinning color wheels. The background universe image took forever to load. Desktop took a long time to load. Then Mail and Safari took a long time to load. What has happened? Was this update legit? I'm thinking it was the legitimate listed 7-2-2013 update for 10.6.8, but in my 15 years of Apple loyalty, I've never experienced an update that bogged my system down like this.

Not enough free space on the startup disk can cause the issues you are referring to.
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop then click Get Info.
You'll see: Capacity & Available
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
If it's not a disk space issue, verify the disk for errors.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports problems, you will need to insert your install disc to make repairs.
And if you have not done so lately, backup all your important data just in case.

Create Table taking long time (more than 60 minutes) and still running

Hi all,
I was able to create and drop table until yesterday, but now the when I issue the below statement the server is stuck, its showing creating table in process.... and then it hangs till you cancel the operation. Query of table and running the procedures are ok, so I am confused why only create table is having issues.
CREATE TABLE table1
( field1 VARCHAR2(20) );
Any help at the earliest will be appreciated,
Thanks

Just check up your status of the log files
select * from v$logfile
If the status is inactive,
Just do a
alter system switch logfile
The alert log should have the problem specified check for the file.
also try to recreate another user and take a try in table creation:
SQL> connect sys/******
SQL> create user scott identified by tiger default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp quota 100m on users;
SQL> grant connect, resource to scott;_
SQL> connect scott/tiger
SQL> create table xyz ( a number);
SQL> create table abc ( d number);
Could you successfully create the tables?

OLAP taking 5 time more space than RDBMS?

Hello,
I have been investigating Oracle's OLAP capabilities for about 2 weeks now in an effort to determine whether OLAP would be a feasible solution for my company's data warehousing needs.
I have created an extremely simple analytic workspace that is based on a single relational fact table. The fact table contains both the dimension values (integers) and the measuers (floats). There are a total of about 300,000 dimension values all of which reference measures (the data is perfectly dense).
I created a dimension and a data cube using the Enterprise Manager OLAP interface. Next, I created the analytic workspace using the Analytic Workspace Manager wizard. This AW building step took an extraordinary amount of time considering the simplicity of the data. In fact, I started it on a Friday afternoon, monitored it for about 2 hours, and it still hadn't finished, so I let it run over the weekend (for this reason, I am not sure how much time exactly it took, but it's definitely quite a few hours). Is this normal? Copying the relational table takes 10 seconds, and I find it hard to believe that building an AW with the same data would take so much time.
Finally, coming back on Monday I see that the AW was created successfully. I went into the tablespace map to look at how big the binary blob is. To my great surprise, the AW was taking up about 5 times more extents than my relational table (contrary to what I've read so far about OLAP and its supposedly very storage-efficient data cubes).
I was wondering if anybody could advise me on what I could have done wrong and/or inefficiently? Am I missing something here, or is OLAP really consuming much more space comapred to relational tables?
Thanks!
Dobo Radichkov

Gotcha.
Well, here are a few ideas:
1) There is a bug in the 9i OLAP where dimension loads take WAY too long. I have a dimension with approx 77,000 members. On 9i, it took hours to load. On 10g 10.1.0.3 it loads in under 1 minute. You might want to open a TAR, the bug was something about one of the patch sets not being applied right
2) From a space standpoing, I wouldn't worry about this too much. When the AW wizard creates an "empty" workspace, it already has lots of items in it that support the metadata, etc. Also, there is the concept of "free pages" that get allocated but end up not being used (they are "temp")
To check this out, attach your AW and then fire up the OLAP worksheet. To see "free" pages vs. "used" pages, do the following:
show aw(pages)
show aw(freepages)
One last thing you can do, to see the size of all items in the AW:
attach AWname ro first
limit name to all
sort name d obj(disksize)
rpr w 40 obj(disksize)
This will show the "relative" size of the items, I think in "pages" (to see how big a page is just do a
show aw(pagesize)
Hope this helps!

IPhone 4 keeps rebooting itself every 1-2 minutes.

Hi!
Yesterday I got my white iphone 4 parts that I changed out of my black parts through a guide on youtube. Everything went well and put in place, I turn it on and everything worked. Five minutes later my cellphone rebooted itself and I did not think it was anything to worry about. After that it just kept rebooting every minute. I thought it was wrong on the white parts, so I switched back to the black parts again but it continues even now. It works 5min until it gets "No Service" then the screen goes off and the phone reboots. There is also something odd about the battery meter, sometimes it can be 0% and sometimes 100% when it started again.
I have tried everything. Took everything out and put it back in again, done a clean restore from itunes, etc.. Do not know what more I can do.
Anyone know what to do or what the problem is?
Thanks!

Seems like you are out of luck here. Your warranty is voided considering that you changed the black parts to the white parts. You even tried restoring, which that did not help. Even if you go to the Apple store, it is very unlikely that they will replace it, just because white models are not out and they can check what the actual color of the phone was through the serial number and the model number.

Reboot hangs and takes several minutes to reboot

Hello fellow archers I have a Vaio laptop and my system started to hang and takes several minutes to reboot.
I have no real clue as to why since poweroff works fine and reboot used to work fine.
I did a system update. And more recently migrated to systemd, may not be related
edit: I found a workaround. Adding the following to my grub kernel line
reboot=pci
But it does not reboot quite the same way, meaning the power led no longer goes off and back on.
Still haven't quite figured out why I can no longer reboot normally without this workaround.

I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
Shutting down and then restarting works fine.
