Response time problems, slow excel execution with new ibook

Hello: I'm a first time ibook user (long time pc user). I have had my ibook for less than 1 month. It's sometimes very slow. I can understand a slow response when I'm accessing a website, but I don't understand why I often experience a 5-15 second delay when I'm in excel and I click on "file" or "format". (I very often get the whirly multicolored pinwheel.)
I have also had to do a "force quit" a number of times to stop an unresponsive excel model or firefox application.
I'm also very disappointed in the excel performance. I run very large excel models some of which take a minute or more to recalc on our hp pavillion pc. My new ibook, however, doesn't run these modes any faster than my 2-3 year old pc. I haven't upgraded from the standard memory and I don't know how much that would help.
Anyone have any suggestions to offer?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I have had my ibook for less than 1 month.
If this is the case, then you qualify to get the next version of Microsoft Office, version 2008 for free (besides shipping). Check out this Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/promotions/supersuitedeal/
Next week there are bound to be several new announcements from all sorts of Mac-related companies at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. Microsoft is releasing their next version of Office for the Mac next week too. This version will run natively on an Intel-based Mac. Right now, Office is running in Apple's "Rosetta" technology which emulates the older, PowerPC processors. This allows you to run applications that haven't been updated yet, but it does slow down performance and increase hardware requirements. I think you should see better performance with the updated version. (Although, there may be a few bugs to work out with the brand new version, so keep check on updates!)

Time Capsule slow backup, even with new 802.11 ac

Hi,
I have a TC connected to my iMac for about a year now, all working fine. Recently I bought the new MacBook Air that also was backing-up to this TC. It got full and gave me errors that it was not capable of backing up my MacBook Air.
As a solution I bought the new TC tower-model with the plan to:
1. Setup the new TC as primairy and connect the 'old' one as secondary.
2. Use the new TC for backup the MB Air and the old TC for backup the iMac
Setup all worked fine, and both are in my network backing up to the correct device.
The issue is that allthough the new TC & Air support 802.11ac the backup speed is horrible. It currently is about 2.5 GB per hour.
I checked wifi via the diagnostics, but that is all okay.
Any idea what I need to do so I get the correct speed for my backup? This surely isn't the advertised "3 times faster..."

Time Machine is having trouble with some files on your internal HD, but also writing to the (hidden) log file it keeps on the external HD.
That looks like a problem with the external HD, or the connection to it.
First, be sure it's formatted properly; see #C1 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, see #C3 there. Start by excluding the files(s) in the messages; if that doesn't help, see the pink box there.

Why is Oracle Response time getting slow with time.

Hi,
     I have DB which was very fast initially with the response time for one of the query < 5 sec.
     I have been using the DB for the last 15 days. Now the same query is taking 10 minutes. In the DB there are lot of operations of additions and deletions been done on the table where the query is being made. The no. of records in the table is constant at around 3 million records from the first day.
     If I import the DB into a new setup then again the response time becomes very good in the new setup.
     What should be the problem of the DB getting slow with the time.
Thanks,
Tuhin

It all depends on several factors.
Are your tables,indexes have upto-date statistics?
I have DB which was very fast initially with the response time for one of the query < 5 sec. Initially there might be small amount of data later data might have increased,you dont have proper indexes.
It could be that your indexes got fragmented to due to heavey deletes? It might need reorg.
My suggestion would to look into your execution plan of the quries and see where your kernals are waiting.
As other suggested you, use explain plan, event 10046 and tkprof.

Spry menu response time problems with IE

We implemented the spry vertical menu for showing the
categories of a products catalog. It has almost 1400 categories
organizad at about 5 levels, some categories have about 20
subcategories. These categories are in a coldfusion session
variable.
It works perfect in mozilla, but in IE7 and IE6 in some
computers, present this problem:
- The response time is slow when you change from one category
that has subcategories to ahother. If you see the Windows Task
Manager of the computer while you use the menu, the processor use
go up to the top level.
And the effiecience of the menu decrease.

Thanks,

i dont think you understood my question, wasnt about body background, but abut the spry image slideshow to work properly in IE
I was not talking about body background, but about having markup that screws up your document when using a browser. Body background just happened to be there. Perhaps you would do well to have a look here http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Flittletreats.org%2F.
I have noticed that you ignored my solution; your document still shows two bodies.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that I tested in IE6 through to IE9 using IETester and the above was the only thing stopping IE from performing properly.
How did you determine that the slideshow was not working correctly in IE and which versions of IE?

Response time too slow when there is competition in the same connector PCo

Dear all, I'm having a problem with using PCo 2.1.
I created all the conections in PCo with OSIsoft PI and when I create a TagQuery
on MII to get the values of a tag is not occur problem in response time.
But when I have another TagQuery or Transaction, which is collecting data at the same
time, sharing the same connector, the time response is very slow.
Using the UDS this problem does not happen.
So problem is that when there is competition in the same connector, the response time is extremely slow.
Has anyone experienced this?
Regards!

Hi Udayan,
Thanks again for attention,
I found this problem on the two MII versions, 12.0 and 12.1.
The UDS and PCo are on different servers and using different ports too.
I didn't find errors on netweaver about this, but I'll verify one more time.
On true, on version 12.0 of MII there is two connections with PI, one PCo and another UDS, that are using the same port. But this does not happen on the MII version 12.1, there I'm using different ports.
Thank you very much!

Java Webserver - Tomcat / Axis2 - Response time very slow!!

Hi all,
I'm developing a Java Web Server using Axis2 inside Tomcat 7, but i'm having a big problem with the response time for each request made.
The purpose of this application is to fetch data from a database and return it to a client (also developed in Java)
For example: If i make a request from the database for 4000 objects, the database returns the data rather quickly (about 100ms), but then it takes about 30 seconds to generate the soap response, the xml containing the response has about 3mb size. The class in the webservice that represents the information from the database is quite simple, it has a string array, and about 3 Integers and 2 Strings..
Is this normal for the response time? Is there any way to optimize (Tomcat definition, etc)?
Thanks in advance :)

Here's a method from the webserver that returns the information from the database:
* The method receives a SQL Query to execute, and return a list with all the objects from the database
public MyObject[] getMyObject(String querySQL) throws SQLException, ConfigurationException, AxisFault {
     try {
          ArrayList<MyObject> myObjectList = new ArrayList<MyObject>();
          //Executes the query on the database
          Statement stmt = RdbmsDAOFactory.connection.createStatement();
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(querySQL.toString());
          //Fetching the results
          while (rs.next()) {
               List<AttributesFromMyObject> attributeList = new ArrayList<AttributesFromMyObject>();
               int columnCount = rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();
               for(int i = 1; i <= columnCount; i++){
                    //This class saves the column name/value for each object from the database
                    AttributesFromMyObject attribute = new AttributesFromMyObject();
                    attribute.setName(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i));
                    attribute.setValue(rs.getString(i));
                    attributeList.add(attribute);
               //Creates the object and saves the corresponding attributes list
               MyObject r = new MyObject();
               r.setAttributeValues((AttributeValue[])attributeList.toArray(new AttributeValue[0]));
               //Add each object to the arraylist that will be returned at the end
               myObjectList.add(r);
          //UNTILL HERE IT TAKES ABOUT 125 ms
          return (MyObject[])myObjectList.toArray(new MyObject[0]);
     } catch (Exception e) {
          throw new AxisFault ("Unknown error: " + e.getMessage() + " - " + e.getStackTrace());
}And here's a method from the client that saves the resuts from the Web Server
* The method sends a query sql to the Web Server and save the results
public void getMyObject(){
     //This is from a library that i'm using to generate SQL
     Table dbTable = new Table(tableName);
     select = new SelectQuery(dbTable);
     select.addColumn(dbTable, "*");
     select.addCriteria(new InCriteria(new Column(dbTable, "[idObject]"), ids));
     //Create request object to the Web Server
     GetMyObject getMyObject = new GetMyObject();
     getMyObject.setQuerySQL(select.toString());
     //FROM HERE
     MyObject[] rList = this.webService.getMyObject(getMyObject).get_return(); //Response from the Web Server
     //TO HERE -> IT TAKES ABOUT 36 seconds IF I'M GETTING THE 4000 OBJECTS
}And here's a bit of the soap response that i'm getting (from a total of 82600 lines generated):

Response time too slow.. 9i database

Hi friends,
well we have installed 9i database on our server. It was running fine for about two months. But now suddenly from yesterday the response time is toooooooooo slow. it takes a long time even to connect.
when we check the processes in task manager oracle.exe is consuing 99% cpu resources which slows down the system and response time is very slow.
how can we identify and resolve our problem. please help in details and thru commands.
Best regards,
Imran Baig

In my opinion it is good that you check immediately the SGA.
do the following:
SQL>show parameters shared_
and see the parameter SHARED_POOL_SIZE
and contrast it with the result of this SQL:
select * from v$sgastat where name='free memory';
if the free memory is very low regarding the value
of the SHARED_POOL_SIZE parameter you can do this
to fix it without to shutdown the database:
ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH SHARED_POOL;
The others gave are good too.

V. Slow transfer speeds with new dual band Airport Extreme

I have a new Airport Extreme (late 2009, dual band, full 'N' spec) which I am using to replace an older Airport Extreme (early 2008, 5Ghz, 'draft' N).
I have a USB disk attached and was interested in benchmarking the transfer speed of the new Extreme, compared to the previous version. The results are puzzling / alarming.
Shown below are transfer speeds (file copied to the attached USB drive) under different connection standards (2.4Ghz / 5Ghz & a/b/g/n)
'Old' Airport Extreme
5Ghz - 'draft' N : ~5-7 Mb/sec
'New' Airport Extreme
2.4Ghz - b/g : ~3-5 Mb/sec
5.0Ghz - a : ~3-7 Mb/sec
5.0Ghz - N : ~200 Kb/sec
Hence transfer speeds appear to collapse when I try to make use of the 'N' spec with the latest Extreme. I have tried altering items such as - wide channels (on / off), interference robustness (on / off), 5Ghz channel (manual, instead of auto), with no upside.
I seem to be at the point of concluding that either
1. I have a 'broken' Airport Extreme
2. The WiFi card on my early 2008 iMac (which implements I guess the 'draft' N standard) is 'incompatible' with new the Airport Extreme under a 'N' connection.
Any thoughts ?

Since all devices in my wireless network are capable of latest 802.11n protocol, I really do not need older and slower 802.11a/b/g protocols. To achieve above 200 Mbit/sec, 5GHz band with wide channel option turned on is really necessary. Thus I really wish I can turn off the 2.4GHz radio band (seems Apple has set this band as default) of my new dual band Airport Extreme to avoid unwanted bandwidth degradation. Unfortunately this is not possible with radio mode setting in Airport Utility.
The best I can do to force connection with 5GHz radio band (with quite consistent result) is as follows:
On Airport Extreme through [Airport Utility>Wireless] :
Radio Mode: 802.11n only (5Ghz) - 802.11b/g/n
More Options>Wireless Network Option>Transmit Power: 100%
More Options>Wireless Network Option>Use Wide Channels: checked
More Options>Wireless Network Option>5 GHz Network Name:
checked and same network name with extra suffix "(5 GHz)"
On 27" iMac through [System Preferences>Network>AirPort>Advanced>AirPort]:
Preferred Networks:
Create only one profile in Preferred Networks for the above network name with suffix "(5GHz)"
Uncheck the option [Remember networks this computer has joined] to ensure there is only one profile under Preferred Networks .
Once all above settings are done, restart Airport Extreme in Airport Utility. Your computer should connect wirelessly to the base station through 5GHz band after booting most of the time. Even when it is not occasionally, simply go to the Airport icon in main menu bar and click on the network name with suffix "(5GHz)" in dropped-down list to connect manually. With all these settings, I have achieved 300 Mbit/sec bandwidth on my iMac most of the time for fast Time Machine backup.
How I wish feature for better radio mode control by end user will be implemented in next update of Airport Utility. Apple should trust end user's brain better than artificial intelligence (or ignorance ?) in wireless network implementation. Wireless traffic between the two radio bands and among various wireless devices should be segregated specifically in Airport Utility by end users whenever dual band Airport base stations are in use.

Time Machine keeps failing even with new HD

I recently bought an external HD (Western Digital 1T) that I have been using to keep some files on and back up my Macbook Pro 15" (2010 model). Suddenly it recieved an error message stating that the back up failed. So I restarted my computer and tried it again and this time I the back up would fail because the computer would suddenly eject the HD. Whatever the problem was it rendered my external HD useless and completely unreadable. So I chalked it up to faulty software on the external. I just bough a new one (same as the previous) and on my first backup it go the same message. Now I know that I have a corrupted file if not many of them that are causing this to happen. I have no idea how to fix this problem and have already spent more then enough money on new HD's.
I copied my log below if this helps anyone. Please help me figure out what I need to fix.

Time Machine is having trouble with some files on your internal HD, but also writing to the (hidden) log file it keeps on the external HD.
That looks like a problem with the external HD, or the connection to it.
First, be sure it's formatted properly; see #C1 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, see #C3 there. Start by excluding the files(s) in the messages; if that doesn't help, see the pink box there.

Response time Extremely slow on MS Translator API

Hi,
I am now using Translator API to translate input data from users in real time.
But I found that the response time from the API is sometimes extremely slow.
--- It takes 1 to 2 minute to translate only 5 to 6 characters and it certainly slow down my application
(it normally takes only a few seconds)
--- I am sure that I have enough quota.
I wonder if there is request limit in a minute and if so, how can I upgrade the limit so
I can keep my service work perfectly?
Thanks

Hi,
This is totally unsusual. For strings in the two to three thousands characters it should not take more than a few 100ms. Can you try again and tell us if you still see this behavior?
Our service is up and running (just go to bing.com/translator and you'll be able to test for yourself the speed of translation for a several hundreds characters sentence) so I'm not sure how to help you out here if it is still the case and your internet
connection is working fine.

Problems with new iBook

Just purchased a new iBook a few days ago. This is my first mac and I'm impressed with the software so far. I am not really impressed with the quality of construction. Here are a few gripes I have with it, the screen seems to be misaligned the left side of the screen is lower than the right side. It is very minor but it is distracting knowing it is like that. When I have the computer closed only the right top corner of the screen comes to rest on the base of the notebook, the left side is suspended in with the rubber foot not making contact with the base of the notebook. The battery when installed and locked in position doesn't sit flush with the notebook instead the half leading towards the trackpad hangs down leaving a small gap between the battery and notebook. The fan seems very loud and doesn't sound right, it sounds like a propeller airplane off in the distance. Also when that fans kicks in I've noticed that if I'm resting my hand to the left of the trackpad with any amount of pressure applied it makes a noise like a fan blade coming into contact with something. If I took this back to the Apple store where I got it will they repair it or replace it? Can I return it without being hit with their restocking fee?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sounds like you received a defective model - it happens, nature of mass production and machinery in general to have a defective model here and there.
Return the iBook (you have 14 days from DOP and the clock is ticking...) and tell them you are a "switcher" and very dissatisfied. Speak to the Manager. I suspect you'll leave the store satisfied.
Given the nature of a notebook and its usage away from home, they are more susceptible to mechanical problems. I encourage you to purchase an Apple Care Protection plan which gives you 3 years of telephone support and warranty service. Well worth the price given the cost of laptop repairs. The alternative is the existing warranty, which gives you 90 days telephone support and 1 year warranty service.
Note too, if you want to extend the basic warranty, you must do so before the 1st year anniversary date of your purchase.

Problem import excel table with photos

When I import excel table with photos, the photos don't appear

Welcome to Project Siena!
If you're seeing an 'x' instead of your photo in the data source it's possible that Project Siena can't access the directory. Try saving your images in another folder such as C:\Users\Public\Pictures.
Others have also reported that if the Library isn't set up correctly in Windows 8 that they've had issues.
Here are some posts to look at while we wait for additional information from you:
Importing local images via an Excel file
Siena Gallery unable to load image
Images in Public Pictures directories showing
up as X in Img from URL
(fyi - this last post's screenshot will look different than yours as it was from Beta 1.)

SwithcHosts was installed, not understandable, uninstalled, causing problems. FF opens with New tab, not Home Page

That's SwitchHosts. Uninstalled it, removed from profile, but still FF starts with New tab and not Home Page. Is there a line in about:config that needs changing???

That didn't work. But, I did remember to do a System Restore, and that seems to have fixed it. SwitchHosts is no friend of mine. Even the MVP program has limits. I wish these programs did not try to take over my computer and they should have good uninstall features.
Thanks for the reply.
