how large are your site collections and content databases?
sounds to me like you're WELL past the recommendations, which could certainly cause such an impact.

  • After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

    I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

    It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.

  • Each time I have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''. i recently Upgrad to 9.0.2. i already uninstall and install.
    pls help me.
    thank you in advance .

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.
    The iTunes desktop shortcut is an "advertised shortcut". When you click it, the first thing it does is check the iTunes.msi and determines (against the installation database in there) whether or not there's any files and registry entries and whatnot for iTunes missing on your PC. If it finds something missing, it'll do a repair install of iTunes, which is the "configures" message you're seeing.
    As to why it's always doing it in your case, and fixing it ... we'd better first work out if there's real damage to the iTunes stuff on the PC or if the shortcut/itunes.msi/registry machinery is just a bit confused.
    Apart from the "configures" message you're getting every time you launch iTunes, is it working okay? Are you able to sync, play music, use the Store and so forth without any trouble? Or are you getting other problems as well?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • Wolfenstein: The New Order message "please wait while downloadable content is being validated"

    When starting Wolfenstein:The New Order, the game goes through all the publisher/developer title screens and goes briefly to the standard loading screen then the screen goes totally black. If I press a button on the controller, the game shows the "Loading profile" prompt with the spinning circle. Soon after the message is replaced with "Please wait while downloadable content is being validated".  Here is where the game just hangs forever. I have left it on this screen for over an hour and nothing happens. I contacted Bethesda support and they sent me here saying it is a PSN issue.  I have already tried uninstalling and deleting all save games, etc. but the problem persists even on a non-patched game. This started happening on Sunday and I have already played the game through once and was on second playthrough and this is the first time I have encountered the problem. Greetings!Thank you for contacting Bethesda Technical Support.
    The issue you are experiencing may be related to PSN and/or Internet connectivity. Please make sure that you were signed into PSN and online when trying to run the game as it needs to validate the downloadable content. If for some reason this issue persists you will need to contact Sony support for your PS4 as the validation process is ran by them on their end and not an issue we can investigate.Warm Regards,
    The Bethesda Technical Support Team. From what I can tell, I am signed in to PSN since I can access the store and see my trophies and friends online. When I signed out and signed back in, I did get a message about not being able to reconnect but it did eventually. I have done extensive searches on the web and I don't see anyone else having this issue.

    I am having the same exact problem. I got this game from gamefly last week and it did it. I told gamefly they sent me an entirely different game and it still is hanging up at the validating dlc screen, a wheel just continues to spin and nothing happens. My interent is fine and I am connected to PSN as I too can see that my friends are onine.

  • "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat 9" message

    I installed Acrobat 9 Standard on my Windows XP PC (3.02GHz HT CPU with 1GB RAM and 4.25GB free HD space) and it runs OK if I'm logged on as an Administrator. However, if I log on as a non-privileged user, I get the pop-up message "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat 9" for EVERY action I take. That is, if I start an application such as Firefox, I get the message. If I right-click on a file in Explorer to copy it, I get the same message, etc., etc.
    This was a clean installation - all previous Adobe products cleaned off the PC. This is a ridiculous situation. Anybody know what the problem is and how to get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike, try deselecting the Acrobat Display PDF in Browser option
    Choose Edit > Preferences > Internet, deselect Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
    Or disable the Acrobat browser check preference by choosing Edit > Preferences > Internet and deselect Check Browser Settings When Starting Acrobat
    The Acrobat Display PDF in Browser option displays any PDF document opened from the web inside the browser window. If this option isn't selected, PDF documents open in a separate Acrobat window. A corrupt registry setting causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat.
    When you start Acrobat, it checks your default web browser preferences for compatibility with Acrobat and this preference setting may become corrupt. A corrupt preference file causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat. Turning off, then back on, "View PDF in browser" forces Acrobat to remove and re-create the applicable registry setting. When "View PDF in browser" is re-enabled, the corrupt registry key is written correctly.

  • "please wait while windows configures iTunes"

    I get this message almost every time I start iTunes. It has been run several times, but will pop up often enough to be really bothersome. I run vista. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks

    Many users of iTunes™, and of other Microsoft® Windows® applications, have found their systems hiccup when certain applications are launched. This can happen when an application cannot get configuration data stored in the Microsoft® Windows® registry. In some such cases, the start-up is aborted but in others the application will rebuild the information it needs to run. When this happens, the user can receive the message “Please wait while Windows configures [name of application]” followed by a minute or so while the program’s start-up gets sorted out.
    Thousands, and possibly millions, of iTunes™ users have been afflicted by this problem which first struck me around the first of December, 2010 after an automatic update of the software, specifically to iTunes™ version 10.1.0.56. My computer runs Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Business Edition and its software is up to date.
    A Google™ search led me to many websites with information about the same issue. I found that a number of fixes had been suggested and were reported to have worked in some cases. For three weeks, I tried in vain many proposed solutions, usually a few times, including:
    • Via the Control panel, removing iTunes™ and re-installing it.
    • Trying the same thing but with Microsoft’s now unsupported Windows Install Clean Up tool, that quite often been able to exorcise from the Windows™ registry stubborn residue of previous installations gone bad.
    • Resorting to so-called Windows™ “registry hacks”, in an attempt to regenerate the application preferences for iTunes™ normally re-accessed on each launch.
    • Recreating Desktop “shortcuts” in various ways.
    No posted solution worked in my case but I kept on trying. After dozens of hours (OCD can be a fine thing in the right circumstances), I eventually did resolve my particular problem with an as yet unposted modification of the Windows™ registry
    Before proceeding, please be aware that a messed up registry can transform your computer into a proverbial boat anchor. Changes should therefore be avoided unless one is willing and able to spend several days reinstalling software from scratch. Notwithstanding this advice and subject always to the caveat in my closing paragraph, here is the sequence of steps I took that has momentarily solved my particular problem:
    1. Click the Start Button, and then Run.
    2. Launch the Windows™ registry editor by entering Regedit and then clicking on “OK.”
    3. Navigate the registry’s tree-and-branch hierarchy as follows:
    HKEYCURRENTUSER
    └─ Software
    └─ Apple Computer Inc.
    └─ iTunes
    At this point you may be unable to see two dependent “child” objects in the folder, one labelled (Default) and then SM Shortcut Installed but if you try you might receive an access blocked message. Continue with the next step anyway.
    4. Right-click on the iTunes folder and select Permissions, then Advanced, and lastly the Owner tab.
    5. Add as Owners of the iTunes folder the following valid user IDs: SYSTEM, Administrators and your own.
    6. Go back to Permissions and assign Full for the SYSTEM and for Administrators, and Read for USERS and then check to box at the bottom left of the dialogue box to apply these permissions to the folder’s dependent objects.
    There is no consistent reason why Microsoft™ Windows™ applications end up improperly registered. What worked in my case may not do so for you. Any suggestions made here are offered gratis and on the express condition that, in relying upon them, you accept sole and full responsibility for any consequences. My only assurance of a kind is to wish you good luck.

  • My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

    My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
    Step 1
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select My Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL.
    Log out and log back in.
    Step 2
    Hold down the option key and select
              Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
              Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
              Caches/com.apple.Messages
              Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
              Containers/com.apple.iChat
              Containers/com.apple.soagent
              IdentityServices
    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
    Step 3
    Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
              Messages
    Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
    If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
    Step 4
    In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
              com.apple.iChat
              com.apple.ids
              com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
              com.apple.imessage
              com.apple.imservice
    Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
    Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
    If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

  • ITunes 10.7 upgrade - 'Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes'

    Upgraded to iTunes 10.7, which I now regard as one of the poorest pc-related decisions I've ever made.  The time suck on this issue is massively depressing.
    Running Windows Vista.  Have completely uninstalled and re-installed (clean registries, re-boots etc) all iTunes and Apple products with no resolution.
    Every time I try to start iTunes I get a "Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes" message on loop.  At some point it will usually default to "Checking iTunes Library" and then both that and the installer will run in tandem.  When I look at Task Manager it seems to indicate from the amount of memory usage that iTunes is in fact running in some form or at some level, but it does not actually open the program.
    When I reinstalled yesterday iTunes opened right up (after the install it did not ask me to reboot the system).  When I restarted the system this morning the problem was back.  Just installs and installs and installs ...  Doesn't actually open.  Wouldn't any registry conflict/problem have been fixed with the clean reinstall? 
    I've tried every solution/trick/suggestion I can find with internet searches. No luck.  This has been a month now.  iPhone and various iPods completely inaccessible re content and that really hammers home the danger of relying on a closed system like this.  Really disappointed in this situation.
    Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

    I am using iTunes 7.1.1

  • After upgrade to 10.0.1.22 - "please wait while windows configures itunes"

    Hi all,
    After successfully running iTunes without problems including version 10, I routinely upgrade to the latest version 10.0.1.22 and all of a sudden now I keep getting this "please wait while windows configures itunes" dialog with a status bar before the iTunes application properly launches. Once its up, its functioning fine, but its annoying to get this dialog and status bar every time I use the application. What can I do? I tried a repair install and it didn't do anything.

    There's no trace of any other itl file on my PC
    Are there any files /Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes libraries/ ?
    guess this means I won't see my apps and music again
    Just because they do not show in iTunes does not mean they ar enot on yoru computer.
    Besides, you do make regular backups of your computer correct?
    Look in /Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/ for your apps and /Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/ for everything else.
    If they are there then iTunes menu File > Add folder to library and select /Music/iTunes/ .

    when my phone rings it goes straight to please wait while your party is reached. how do i get rid of that message?

    do you mean like when someone calls you, that's what they hear? if that's the case, it may be a ringback tone or feature. i've heard the message that you are describing a few times when i have called people (as opposed to hearing the ringing sound), but i honestly don't know much about it. all i can figure is that it's a "ringback" tone or feature.
