Safari is taking way too long to download small files

Hello! So, recently I've been noticing that when I download relatively small files (around 5-10 MB) Safari is taking 15 minutes to download them. I wanted to know if there was anything I can do to speed things up, as up until this point, the browser had been downloading these files in seconds.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Alishadarling ! i suggest clearing safaris cache. i know that can really slow it down. if that does nothing download Firefox just to test download speeds. if both of those don't work go to http://www.speedtest.net/ it will tell you your internet connection speed if it rates at 1-2 MB/s then you have slow internet. if it is in the 15-100 range then try updating to mavericks its free and see if it does anything. thanks, TMNTTurtleman

My tv program download is taking too long

Your TV program may be huge ... like a gigabyte or so. That could take a very long time to download, depending on your WiFi connection speed and quality.

Installing OS X on a new hard drive taking way too long?

I switched out my old 250 GB hard drive that shipped with my MacBook Pro for a new 640 GB WesternDigit drive. I'm trying to use a Mavericks installer USB to install on my newly formatted hard drive, but it's taking way too long - I mean, I left it going overnight (about 7.5 hours), and when I came down, it wasn't even half done. Is there anything I can do here? I'd like to use my laptop. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Do you have a internet connection? Even with a USB installer that if good and functioning properly you need an internet connection to Authenticate the install with your Apple ID.
If your old drive is still functioning you can connect it to your Mac with a SATA to USB adapter and use the Recovery HD on that original drive to reinstall Mavericks on the new drive.
If the drive is no longer functioning and you have no way of getting to the Apple internet download for Mavericks then you will need to start with an install of the original version of OS X that came on your Mac when new then update and or upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then use the Mac App Store to reinstall Mavericks. There is not other way to do this. So save yourself some time and trouble and start fresh.
If your original drive is still functioning and it had Mavericks installed on it you can also CLONE that drive to the new one once you connect it to your mac with some type of SATA to USB adapter or enclosure.
If the Mavericks USB installer you have was made from a Mac that came with Mavericks pre-installed on it that will not work on your Mac.

It's taking way too long for my messages to load.

Starting on Tuesday this week (10/14) it is taking way too long for my messages to load from my Gmail account. Once the message finally shows up in the Inbox, it's taking up to 10-15 min for the message to load where I can actually view the message. I'm going to have to move to another email application if this can't be resolved which is very unfortunate as I've enjoyed using Thunderbird up until now.

I guess I'm at least happy to know it's not just me. I've had to abandon Thunderbird for now. I guess I'll keep an eye out for future updates.

Hi there!
do you test other browsers?
i suggest to make a clean install of newer version of Firefox like v8.0.

Query taking way too long

Hello,
Can somebody please help.
I am wanting to change this query so that it does not take too long. How can I do it please?
select count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
from tel_nos t, account a
where t.tel_type = 'S'
AND t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN t.start_date AND NVL(t.end_date, SYSDATE)
group by t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
having count(*) > 1
Thanks in advance.

Tuning is a science not a parlour guessing game. It's hard for us to diagnose the problem you have here as you have given us almost no information. For instance, are you using rule based or cost based optimizer? How big are these two tables? What indexes do they have? What percentage of rows are you expecting the query to return?
Tuning is such a big area that it's hard to know where to begin. I suggest you start at the Oracle docs. Chapters 1, 4 and 5 will set you going.

Having said all that you may well find this runs faster:
SELECT count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
FROM   account a, tel_nos t
WHERE t.tel_type = 'S'
AND    sysdate BETWEEN t.start_date AND nvl(t.end_date, sysdate)
AND    t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
GROUP BY t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
HAVING count(*) > 1
/I leave it to you to work out why (it's nothing to do with clearer layout).

OSX installation (and reloading images) taking way too long

Hi everyone.
I've noticed a problem lately: installing OSX (either my original Tiger DVD or my new Leopard DVD) is taking way longer than it should. The same thing also happens when I try to revert back to an older disk image.
I tried installing Leopard yesterday and it said it was going to take 5 hours. Initially I thought it was because the disk I was using was partitioned, so today I have wiped the disk completely, restored it to one partition, and disconnected all my external drives and all but the primary internal ones. That seems to have dropped the install time to 3 hours.
The first thing I did yesterday was try to restore an older image of my Tiger installation. That one was about 60GB in size and, even after 8 hours, the installation had not predicted an actual remaining install time, but from the progress bar, it looked like it would be at least 2 days.
Why in the world would this be happening and has anyone run into it before? All the system checks I ran the other day seemed to indicate things were fine. So am I missing something?
Thanks.

Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the HDs.
Run DU and repair the HDs if needed.
It's also possible that your optical drive is dying and/or your Tiger CD and Leopard DVDs are dirty or scratched.
A typical Leopard install takes under 1 hour. Anything over 2 indicates some major issues.

Slideshow Taking WAY too long to load

I have a slideshow posted at
http://olyrents.com/slideshow.htm
My client is saying it takes too long to load, and I am
finding that it is loading all of the photos first before you can
scroll through and view them. It's just not functioning properly.
I wonder if someone could look at the actionscript and give
me any suggestions? Maybe there's something else going on?
I have attached the script from the original fla file.
Thanks!

That adds up to somewhere in the realm of 5MB, which isn't
going to be a quick load time, though it might be visually workable
if you separate the loading from the viewing.
One thing you might consider is doing away with the preloader
visual. With 65 images being interupted by 65 preloader screens, it
kinda defeats the potential aethetics of the images and may lead
one to think it's taking a long time to load them as a result.

Godfather II downloading taking WAY too long!

Is this normal for those who have downloaded it? I haven't gotten any error messages or anything like that. Its going .1 MB slowly. Please help!

I was having this issue... last movie I bought was Hancock and the estimated download time was 4 hours... (it stayed at 4 hours for 40 minutes)
So I called our phone company to verify I still had the highest speed available.
They told me since we run off of one line for our DTV as well as internet... I had to unplug the DTV or shut it off and my download speed would get back to where it should be.
I just watched the estimated time go from 4 hours to 30 minutes by doing this.
So I can't watch TV if I am downloading a movie LOL

Mail taking way too long to get to my iphone...Rogers network Toronto

Today, on more than one occasion I sent an email from my yahoo account to my .mac account. The email arrived within 2 minutes. I was online the entire time to verify. My iphone, failed to be notified within 30 minutes!! In actual fact, i don;t know how long it would have taken to get the email. The only way I managed to retrieve the email on my iphone was to select the mail application on the iphone and select "inbox". This forces the software to check for mail....This isn't PUSH at all.
Is anyone else experiencing this.?
Thanks
B

the push services are only as good as the pusher I believe. I know my yahoo mail doesn't get pushed very well. Sometimes it's instant other times it's not. My girlfriend's email on a microsoft exchange server activesync is pushed pretty consistently. Given some of the hangups with the mobileme services, I'm not too surprised that the push isn't working great. It's really a mobilme issue I think, and I will let others with the service chime in with their experiences.

BUNDLE_EXECUTE TAKING WAY TOO LONG TIME. PLEASE HELP

Hi Experts,
Please see that after we ugrade our SEM 4 to SEM 6 along with BW 3.5 to BI 7, I am performing Post Upgrade Testing in Sandbox.
In this process when I tried executing a Global Planning Sequence in Back Ground by Right Clicking the GPS I wish to run and selected Execute PS in Background Option.
But when I am looking at it's status in Job overview, it is running for ever. I still wonder that how come it is taking so long time and I have no clue.
The same GPS when I tried executing the ssame way in DEV and QA servers where the Upgrade is still not happened it is not taking more than 80 Seconds.
So Kindly guide me through this issue. Highly appreciate your valuble inputs.
Thanks and Regards,
BIP

Hi ,
We are facing the same issue in our new parallel systems (SEM 3.2 to SEM 6 along with BW 3.1 to BI 7). Please let us know how you solved the issue.
Our Planning Sequence has just one copy function.
The same GPS when I tried executing in old systems in SEM 3.2 and BW 3.1, it is working fine.
Any solution?
Thanks,
H

OS X Mountain Lion...taking way too long

I purchased OS X Mountain Lion for my iMac. iMac meets all the requirements MAC OS X 10.7.4. It's been 22 hours and it isn't doing anything, sitting at 1.86 GB of 4.37 GB. Why is the download taking so long? Is there something else I should be doing?

Thank you for your reply...I do believe the WiFi connection in our neighborhood could be the factor here...congestion.
Browsing has never been an issue...but downloading something this large obviously is.
I have paused the download and resumed...since I posted earlier, it is now at 2.22 GB of 4.37 GB ... moving VERY slowly.
Not sure what to do at this point...I will call the support line during wrkg hrs. See if they can cancel my online pymt and I'm assuming I can purchase the OS X Mountain Lion at Best Buy???
The neighborhood is waking up soon...and more congestion will be interfering soon.

Updating 3GS from 3.1.2 to 6.1.3 taking way too long. Is there a better and faster way?

How long does it take to update an original 3GS to 6.1.3? I followed the iTune instructions and it has been updating for hours already. Is there a better and faster way to do this?

SO if I want to represent the London Underground
network as a Graph how would I be able to do it?By writing classes of your own or using some one else's. I don't think that the collections framework has out-of-the-box support for graphs.... So try google first.
The implementation details depend on the API you are going to use, of course...
from A to B 5 min
from B to C 4 min
from A to C 9 min
this information is redundant, the third info should be omitted. <nit-picking>
No it's not - What if there's a special, more direct route from A to C? Also, getting from A to B to C will usually take more time than the time from A to B plus the time from B to C. The trains have to stop at B, don't they?
</nit-picking>
Maybe this approach is more complex, but it solves the problem Have I understood correctly - isn't what you describe just another way to implement a graph?

Shuffle taking way too long to sync

after updating to itunes 8.o, all of the three shuffles that use that itunes library take forever to sync-even one song or podcast. what happened?? does anyone know how to fix this??

Even though the Shuffle is listed as USB 2.0 compatible it only seems to sync at USB 1.1 speeds. I've had a nano and a shuffle and the nano syncs WAY faster than shuffle (no conversion to 128kbps AAC is taking place)
