Slow Finder startup when not connected to network

I use a Linksys BEFW11S4 router/WAP for my home network. The Linksys connects my iMac (ethernet), iBook (wireless) and an Airport Express. I decided I would control my son's access to the internet by using the Linksys router software, which is password-protected, to enable or disable the network connection.
However, I'm finding that when the network connection is disabled, the Finder loads very slowly upon startup. The dock appears fairly quickly, but a color pinwheel spins for a couple of minutes before the Finder menu bar, desktop file and volume icons and any windows I've left opened appear on the desktop. When the network connection is enabled, startup occurs normally . This situation occurs whether I'm on the iMac or the iBook.
Does anyone know a reason for this behavior?

I talked to Linksys technical support, and they told me this behavior was normal. As long as my computers are connected to the router, they will hunt for an Internet connection on startup. (I found this was true even when I physically disconnected my DSL modem from the outer.) It seems that the lengthy delay in getting the Finder loaded is unavoidable in that case. Good work, Jase!

  • Java web server error when not connected to network

    If my laptop is not connected to a network, when I execute the java web server, it fails at start up with the exceptions listed below. When debugging, I need access only to local host, so it seemed reasonable to me that the web server should execute in the absence of a network.
    I just found that I get the same failure, if I'm connected to the network via a dialup connection.
    Any ideas on how to configure my system so that the web server will function in the absence of a network connection?

  • MBP increasingly slower when not connected to network

    When connected to the network at work (either through WiFi or ethernet cable) my macbook pro works OK. However, when I am travelling or take my MBP home performance starts degrading to a point where launching something like Dictionary can take 15-20 seconds.
    I get a spinning beach ball when launching or closing applications, as well as when saving files. Typically when disk operations are involved.
    Originally, after reading some posts in this forum, I thought that it was a hard drive problem. However, I have used the tools that come with the installation disk and disk warrior showing no problems. In addition, the problem always sort out itself after rebooting while connected to the network at work.
    Trying to find the missing network could be a problem, but going through the logs in console I can not find anything like that. The other issue is that performance degradation compounds with time since being connected to work. I can' figure out a reason for this.
    Any suggestions pointing to a solution are most welcome.
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2GHz, 1.5GB RAM

    After playing for a while with the computer I think that I have at least found where the computer is wasting all this time.
    Using Console and checking system.log, I found several instances of "DirectoryService[46]: Active Directory: Could not determine closest Domain Controller from Site information in directory". I did use "sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService" in Terminal to send debugging information to /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.debug.log.
    Here I can see that every time I have a delay, the computer spends 25 seconds trying to reach a LDAPv3 server at work. So, it seems to be a misconfigured network problem, which I hope to sort out tomorrow.

  • 27" iMac internet slow to startup + printer not connecting

    Hi guys,
    I have a 2013 27" iMac. I purchased it in July '13 and March of '14 the hard drive died on me. I took it to the Apple store and they confirmed it was the hard drive, and replaced it and reloaded OS X. Thankfully I had everything backed up (although apparantly since the drive was failing some of my time machine backups were no good.), and after a few issues and a lot of restore time, I got everything back.
    After the restore, I found I am having a few issues. Not all of my programs were restored, which isn't so bad, I was able to fix most of that, but I am still having a few issues.
    1. Things seem... slower, since the restore. When I boot the computer up, the startup time is about the same as it was, but now there is a very pronounced delay before internet connectivity kicks in. Both ethernet and wireless take a good 45 seconds or more before the icon appears in the top right of the screen, and there is no internet connectivity before then.  It is not the biggest deal, it eventually does connect and I am online, but it is much slower than it used to be.
    2. I have a wireless Epson printer. I have no issues with any of the other household computers printing to it (Mac mini, 2 MacBook Pros, Windows 7 laptop and a windows 7 PC all connect and print fine). Since I got this iMac back, every time I try to setup to connect the printer, it.... is.... slow.... and then is stops responding. The Printers & Scanners icon takes forever to load, it takes a solid 3 or 4 minutes or more before it even sees the printer, and then when I try to connect to it, the whole process just locks up and goes nowhere. I can't close it out at all, it just sits there frozen.
    There are a few other little nitpicky things, like having to reinstall some programs, but I can live with that.  The two issues I have listed, however, are really annoying.
    I have run hardware diagnostics, and everything is fine.

    Could you tell me what model of printer that you are using?

  • Imported Photos when NOT connected to network drive is missing

    I connect to external disk drive for my photos.
    But when I wasn't connected to the drive, I imported photos just fine - was able to see them all (the just imported one). I could see "blank" thumbnails for the network photos (because I wasn't connected).
    Next time I connected to the external drive, the photos i just imported, when I wasn't connected was missing?
    ANY HELP? PLEASE? THANKS.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    My guess is you have two libraries. One is on the external, has all the older pics, the other has the new additions.
    To find the other, go to the Finder Go Menu -> Go to Folder and type in /Volumes/The Name of Your External HD...
    Can you see the opther library there? If so, drag it to the desktop, and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the libraries.

  • AD mobile users have no permisssions when not connected to network

    I am the IT Manager in a Windows Server 2003 shop using Active Directory. I am trying to integrate a MacBook just purchased with Leopard 10.5.2. The computer is sucessfully bound to the AD domain. I created a local user account on the machine, and while connected to the company network, an active directory user. When the AD user logs in and the machine is connected to the company network, all is fine: the user's home directory is automatically connected and all application prefs and local folders are available.
    However, when away from the company network, loging in with the mobile user's credentials gets a desktop, but no permissions to that user's own local folders:no Dock prefs, no documents folder, no downloads folder, no nothing. Only internet access if a connection is available. Suppossedly credentials are cached on the MacBook, as that option was selected when I created the account. Is this behavior correct?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, I'll give it a try just to see what happens. I am not sure that this is such a good solution however:
    1) I am not sure that I have permission to redistribute deployJava.js with my project. What is the license for it? When I download the script it has been stripped of all comments.Good question. I had to chase up the webmaster of mindprod.com to alter his pages to reflect that the preferred method was to hot-link to Sun's own script. It never occured to me to question that Sun might not allow not hot-linking to the script. Now I go looking over their documentation on the script, it is not really clear.
    The documentation I was looking through, can be found at the [Java™ Rich Internet Applications Deployment Advice|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html] page.
    2) How can I ensure that the installation methods will be kept up to date If I 'hard code' the deployment methods by distributing them myself? You can't. That is one downside of using a copy of the script.
    .. Are there specific version dependencies within the deployJava.js script that need to be updated once in a while? Not that I know of. Though Sun might upload changes to correct bugs in various browsers.
    I am guessing that one of the design elements of the 'deployJava.js' script is that since it is on a sun server it can be kept up to date over time. This cannot happen once it is frozen in to my distribution.Well summed up.
    It would be nice if deployJava.js checked if the java install was adequate, and if not then went out to the network to get instructions on what to do next. It is too hard for me to tell what is going on in the whitespaced-stripped file however. Any internal documentation on what deployJava.js does?See what you can figure from the link above, and related documentation.

    How do I add an offline translation to the Bible app to use it when not connected to a network?

    You will need to contact the developer of the app and ask if that is possible. If not, you'll need to look for another app that doesn't require a network connection to function.

  • ITunes Slow When Computer Connected To Network

    Hi All,
    I have never seen this before until now.
    I have a user who has an iPhone and iTunes installed, PC decent spec, running Kaspersky AV.
    When not connected to the network the iPhone syncs fine and iTunes flies!
    When connected to the network iTunes takes approx 5 minutes to open, sync hangs or takes hours and never completes and navigating through iTunes takes an age.
    I have disabled Kaspersky to see if that was the problem and it isnt.
    I have switched off all settings in iTunes that could interect with the network and that has not corrected the issue.
    If i unplug the network cable it starts to fly again!!
    Anyone else seen this?

    Same deal here. I thought the problem was with my iPad or iPhone4, until I happened to try something when the computer (XP Pro SP3) was disconnected from my home network. Until then the iPad would not be recognized by iTunes, but I could see it in My Computer. This computer is also used at my office and is part of our Domain. I didn't seem to have this problem at work, so perhaps this has something to do with it. Unresolved for now.

  • Not connected to network although it is connected wirelessly

    I have a HP Photosmart 7510 All in one printer. I can print from computers wirelessly but it says not connected to network when i try to use web services, facebook, or efax. I cant even run an update because if no internet connection. i have tried rebooting routers and printer. Nothing else has issues with internet with router. I have also tried typing in the Ip address in the web address bar but when i go to networking it is asking for admin user name and password that i do not know. How can i fix this issue?  I have downloaded drivers and software from HP site also.

    Hi @Sniper187
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you have encountered some difficulties with your Photosmart 7510 printer.
    I have included a link to a post by @PrintApper regarding the Printables titled HP Apps Service Retired on several printers.  It has the information regarding the apps on your printer. I have also  included a link to a post by @PrintApper regarding eFax titled eFax users - please read.  It has the information regarding the eFax feature.

  • I had no problem with my IPad 3 connecting to my wi-fi but for some reason lately it tell me can not connect to network.  I reset both my wifi and my ipad and I still get the same error.

    I've had my IPad 3 for awhile and had no problems with it.  The other day I went to connect to my wi-fi and it told me could not connect to network.  It recognizes my wi-fi but won't connect.  I have shut off my wi-fi and still the same problem.  Today I reset my ipad back to factory and when I get to the wifi setup I still get unable to join the network.  What is wrong

    Dont use a password to connect the ipad and try if unable to join happens try another network. After that it is a repair. Now most likely it is the password on router. typically you access your router with http://192.168.1.1/ BUT it may be different if you changed it or your router uses different one.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

    My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable.   I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99%  installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out.  I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
    1.  Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
    2.  Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up?  Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ?  I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase.  What to do if so?
    3.  Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation?  If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

    Hi @Marvalina1968,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    First to answer your questions:
    It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
    I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
    Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
    Please take a look through the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
    Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

  • How to copy catalog from external hard drive to computer hard drive to use smart previews when not connected to external hard drive?

    I am very new to LR5. I have LR5 set up so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I found out that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 cannot find my catalog, therefore, I cannot do any editing in smart previews unless connected to the external hard drive. How can I fix this issue so that I can edit photos without being connected to the external hard drive. Is there a way of copying the catalog off the hard drive on the computer hard drive or do I need to reestablish a new catalog using LR5? Does the catalog always need to be loaded on the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

    Yes that is correct. The LR catalog must be on the computers internal drive. Then when you have Smart Previews enabled you can edit image without having the drive they are on connected. Then when you connect that drive the images will be updated.
    Just COPY those 4 folders over to your internal drive to a folder called Lightroom Catalog that you create. Then Open LR and go to the File menu item and select Open Catalog. Browse to the folder you created called Lightroom Catalog and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file and click Open. Once Lightroom restarts open the preferences, Edit>Preferences, and on the General Tab in the Default Catalog section make sure "When starting up use this catalog:" area lists where you have copied those folders. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever you created that folder/That folder name/Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat.

  • How can java programs execute automatically when it connects to network

    How can java programs execute automatically when it connects to network.What is "it"? That is, execute when what connects to the network?
    Your computer? If that's what you mean, this is not a Java question. It's an OS operational/administrative question. Executing any program, whether written in Java or not, based on some system event has to do with that system, not with the program. If it's possible to do this, you'd do it exactly the same way for a Java program as you would for any other program.
    Or is "it" the program itself? If this is what you mean, then it's a nonsensical question. For the program to connect to the network and detect that it has connected to the network, it must already be executing, so asking how to execute it at that point is meaningless.
    Finally, I'll point out that "connecting to the network" is a pretty meaningless phrase. Or rather, it has so many potentially valid meanings that it's impossible to know which one you're referring to when you use that phrase. And I'd be willing to bet you don't have a clear picture of that yourself.

Maybe you are looking for
