Slow first log-in

Hi,
At a customer site we are experiencing a slow (1m35sec) on the first log-in every day. After the first log-in the log-in time is dramatically reduced to 15-25sec.
Does anyone know if there's a setting somewhere in the system that may cause this behaviour?
We're running NW 7.5 SP07
Regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,
SAP Note [1541181|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1541181] says that on the first logon all template files are loaded, but not on subsequent logons. Do you have a lot of (or large) files in your wizard folder?
Cheers,
Ethan

I installed Yosemite and now my computer is slow when logging in. Also when I type my password the screen images are distorted. After that my home screen appears and everything seems normal. What can I do to fix this?

Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

User change password after first logging in Oracle 11g

Can you help someone in connection with this problem:
user can not change password after first logging in Oracle 11g
All the best
Ragip Avdijaj

Sounds like they are not getting logged in at all, so they are never getting to the point where they can change the password, but we need to see more detail to give a better answer (an example or copy-paste of a sqlplus session might help)

Hello,
did you discover what the cause was for this phase running so slow? And how long did it take to complete in the end?
We are currently running an upgrade of our Development system and have struck the same issue.
I killed the upgrade after the phase had been running for 4 hours and restarted it, but it looks like it is still going to run for a long time.
Regards....John

Can't Connect to Safari, first log in

Why I can't connect to the safari, when i first log in, i can't go on other any site but Google and FaceBook.
and i try to use other browsers like "Google Chrome" , FireFox. It just won't load.
I have to open my Safari and let it run for while, then it work, and this crap on happen to my account. The administrate account do not act like that.

Whew, not sure, but might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
(You'll need to Trash the originals of these following ones since move only copies them)
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist
Then reboot once more. Setup your Network again.

Windows 8.1 first log in is very slow

I'm seeing an issue where the first time a domain account logs into a system running Windows 8.1, it takes a very long time (up to 15 minutes) to go through the "Setting things up for you" and "Installing apps" screen.
Has anyone else been having this issue?
I've tried disabling the first run animation, but it didn't make too much of a difference.

If I recall correctly, the removeappxprovisioned package trick works to remove the apps, but they end up re-installing themselves at later logons. Either way, app removal isn't really a solution for me.
Here's what I'm seeing in my environment...
Build 8.1 image
Sysprep and capture (copyprofile set)
Deploy via MDT
Log in as a new user
Windows takes at least 15 to 20 minutes to actually log in (System logs shows tons of built-in modern apps being downloaded and updated, as well as a random 9 minute gap of no logs)
All subsequent logons for any user (new profiles or old profiles) are quick and painless
Seems to me that Windows Update is taking a very long time to update the built-in modern apps (which I have no need for). However, I can't seem to find a way to turn this off or do the updates prior to capture. Removing the apps isn't ideal. We have users
that need them.
Any thoughts?

Slow to log out

When I installed Leopard on my iMac last weekend, I took the plunge and set up log ins for myself, my wife and three kids. Now, it takes 3-4 minutes for the machine to log out from one person's account. Is anyone having this problem? Any fixes?

I've encountered the same problem. At one point it was taking 2 or 3 minutes to log out of os 10.5. I found out other users on the computer (my girls and wife) were accessing boot camp by power off shut downs of the o/s (either 10.5 or XP) and that the XP partition got to the point it was almost non-functional - taking almost 5 minutes to start. I rarely go to XP and only went there because one of the girls reported that "its real slow booting into Windows". Once I repaired the XP partition logging off in os 10.5 was much faster but perhaps still not quite as fast as I remember when I first loaded it just after 10.5.1 came out.

10.6.4 Server on Mini Server - DNS Problems - Slow, EDNS log messages

Like a few of other people here, I'm having a hard time getting DNS to work smoothly on my new Mac Mini Server, now running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.4. I'd been running Leopard Server on a previous machine with much smoother DNS (though the Server Admin config didn't work, that's another story).
Resolution takes a very, very long time and eventually I'll get messages in the log saying 'success resolving 'xxxxxx' after reducing the advertised EDNS UDP packet size to 512 octets'.
I've searched everywhere and there seem to be two reasons why this is happening:
1. The DNS server is stopping responding on TCP, and is only responding on UDP;
2. Some other portion of my network (maybe the router) doesn't like UDP packets bigger than 512 octets.
For the first - is there any way I can fix this within OS X Server? There is no problem in the network since the router itself (running Linux) can resolve via TCP (using the forwarder addresses that are set up in my OS X Server config) instantly, and any clients that I switch from using the internal OS X Server (for DNS resolution) to use an external resolver work immediately too. I'm not sure why the daemon on OS X Server stops listening on TCP port 53 and only accepts UDP - and then only forwards on queries via EDNS via UDP - which is where I seem to have a problem.
Secondly - can I disable EDNS somehow and just do plain old DNS?
Some of the threads point to routers that don't like UDP packets over 512 octets, some point to firewalls and adaptive code that closes off ports when an app tries too many times, etc. I've opened ALL firewalls - turned off the OS X Server firewall, turned off the SPI firewall in the router (it's a Netgear DG834 with the DGTeam custom firmware), and I'm as far as I can go without buying a new router.
If the only answer is 'OS X Server needs a better router' then I'd appreciate what router I should buy - this situation is becoming untenable since the DNS resolution performance of my entire network is unpredictable, and I don't want to have to reboot the Server on a regular basis when there are loads of clients and their home directories sitting on it, since OS X Client gets twitchy when your home folder vanishes off the network…
I'm happy hacking config files - but can't seem to see anything in the DNS config that would allow me to either turn off EDNS or restrict the packet size to 512 octets (there's a comment in the config file that the directive is ignored for this one, fat lot of help that is). As to why the server itself stops listening to TCP port 53…. I have no idea and I can't find a solution with a search.
So in the absence of solutions - can anyone help me with a workaround? The only 'answered' question in this domain was 'answered' with the OP finding a workaround in their router firmware that changed the DNS cache packet size. I can't find anything like this in my router config, so I can't use this workaround. Are there any workarounds I can apply to my OS X Server, that don't rely on my router?
Yes, I know the router isn't that special, but it's a small business network. Advice on an upgrade would be welcome but doesn't solve the problem for me now. I'm based in the UK, if anyone also in the UK can recommend a suitable small-business NAT router I can use then I'd find that helpful, but I don't want to be told to purchase an enterprise-class router, turn off NAT and be recommended a store in the USA as it won't be that helpful
Ideally there'd be a way to tweak the DNS server on OS X to not bother with EDNS, or to stick to 512 octet sized packets (can I do this globally for all UDP from my server?), or to keep working on TCP…
Anyone know? The machine hosts client homes internally and serves mail, web and DNS externally. It's not a high-traffic system and it sits at the end of a business-grade ADSL line. I'm not being DoS'd - this behaviour seems random as to when it strikes. I try to restart the named daemon on the server when it strikes, but I need to be on the network to make that happen….
Solutions appear to be out, but I'd really appreciate a workaround. Many thanks in advance!

Flash file into captivate playing slow first time

Hi.
I am very new to flash but have been using Captivate for
awhile now. I am trying to create an animation in flash of a book
flipping pages. I have 9 jpg images of the various stages of the
book flipping. When I import the first image into Flash it asks if
I want to include the entire series of images. I said yes to this
and now I am stuck. When I test the movie in Flash it plays slow
once and then really fast after that.
I saved it and imported it into a captivate project and the
same thing is happening. It plays really slow and choppy. If I
navigate away from the page and then come back to it, it plays
really fast (faster than I'd like but I'd prefer that to slow)
Any help. I searched on the Flash forum and found someone
else with this issue but they never got a response.
Any suggestions would be great. I am sure I am missing a step
here but I just can't figure out what it is.
Thanks,
Kim

When you say you play it, in either Captivate or Flash, do
you mean
locally or that you upload it somewhere and play it back
through a web
browser from that website location?
If the former, then I'm not sure. If the latter, sounds like
the images
are Very Large and it's taking a while for them to download
in order to
play...but once they're downloaded and 'cached', the file
plays quickly.
How large are your published SWFs? What format are your
images? What DPI?

Slow first time file/folder, etc. opening

On my G4/450/1.5gb ram/OS9.2.2, the first time I do anything (open a file or folder or even the Apple Menu Items), it's very slow to open. After it opens once, that particular item opens normally from then on, but not subsequent openings of other items. This is a constant problem. I've made no changes to the computer and my memory control panel is set to default. I know the first time normally takes a little longer, but this is much too long; maybe 5 to 7 seconds. Never was this way. Anyone? ... thanx

Now I'd normally say Don has it covered. From the description it sounds like the Finder looking for the icons to display for the items in a folder or the icons for the Apple Menu Items.
But 5 to 7 seconds is a bit excessive for this even with a desktop spread all over the disk.
So only three questions, which may mean nothing at all:
Does it still happen if you boot into Base Extensions (in Extension Manager control panel) ? I'm wondering if it's an extension or control panel used to enhance the appearance of the Finder, something like Kaliedoscope or similar. Just reboot into Base Extensions and see if it is still as sluggish.
1.5GB or RAM, so virtual memory is going to be off (OS9 can't use that much memory). Not an issue, but in the Memory control panel, what size is the Disk Cache ? It's normally a percentage of the installed RAM, but tops out at a specific value, maybe 768K, but you can still set it higher by hand. What is it currently set to ?
Might be the Energy Saver control panel, or someone will correct me if it's something else, do you have the hard disk(s) set to spin down / sleep "whenever possible" ? It's been a while since I booted into OS9, so if the option is not there it may be a third party control panel / extension that offers the functionality. A sleeping hard disk would explain the delay of as large as 5-7 seconds.

Hi all,
I'm having a weird problem with Zend AMF and was wondering if anyone else has seen this before.
I've got a very simple PHP/MySQL backend that returns multidimensional arrays to Flex via Zend AMF.
Now this all worked fine up to the point that I started testing my app with a remote server instead of my local test server.
With the remote server I noticed that sometimes, but always the first time, some PHP function is called it takes forever to call the callback function with a result. I'm talking about around 1 to 2 minutes!
Now, when I call that same php function via a normal url every time it returns the right results in a couple of milliseconds.
When the function has been called once it seems to be ok and next time it's called it returns results within milliseconds.
I've had a look with a network sniffer to see if the transfer of data takes long, but that's all fine...
So it looks to me as if it just takes forever before the RemoteObject calls it's callback function.
I'll be testing with some stripped down code later tonight and will also set it up on a different server, but I was hoping someone else has seen this and knows a workaround...
Thanks

Hmm, i just did some more tests, but the results do update so it doesn't look like it's a cached result.
I'm not entirely sure but it looks like when multiple AMF methods are called too close to each other they are combined into one HTTP POST request to the AMF gateway. When this happens the response is extremely slow, whereas when I have make the second call after the first one has finished completely the response is ok (around 200 milliseconds).
You wouldn't happen to know how RemoteObject handles multiple calls to an AMF backend, right?

Slow first connection using Oracle 10g xe and Visual Studio 2008

{noformat}
Good day,
I'm slightly unaccustomed to using forums, so bear with me.
My initial connection to the Oracle database takes approximately 30 seconds. It seems to be waiting for a connection before timing out and trying another connection which works, as all subsequent connections work immediately. I'm unsure how other people's responses in forums can help me due to the plethora of configurations, so here's mine. My comprehension of the oracle world is still growing, you'll have to explain the terms you're using for me, Hoping you can help.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008, set to use 32 bit debug mode, on a Windows 7 Pro platform. Also using Oracle 10g Xe, and have installed the 32 bit version of ODAC 11.2 (11.2.0.1) to aid making a connection from Visual Studio to Oracle.
I have a database set up and a user with system admin rights. This is all local for a programming project and will never see the light of day outside of my personal machine.
I am using code to connect, not the GUI. I wish to code this project completely without the aid of the GUI. so my connection string within Visual Studio C# is (pw/id hidden)...
string xe = "Data Source=xe;User Id=xxxxx;Password=xxxxx;";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(xe);
My c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora file is this:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
And my c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\TNSNames.ora file is this:
tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = xe)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine name)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
Just for good measure, my tnsping xe shows:
"Used paramter files:<br/>
c:\devsuitehome\network\admin\sqlnet.ora<br/><br/>
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias<br/>
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = xe)))
OK (0 msec)"
So, how can I make that initial connection faster so I don't spend 15 years testing my application due to slow start-ups? :)
Thank you.
Kevin.

I have formatted my hard drive since my first post. I was running window 64 bit with a higher version of the ODAC and that proved to crash my machine with faulty error messages about memory. I have reverted to a previous version of the ODAC tools and everything works very smooth now. Still the connection time is consistently 20 seconds or longer on the first attempt.
Just a little more information.. I am currently taking a college course with 15 other students, as you can tell by the impersonal machine name, where programming using visual studio 2008, and Oracle 10g xe is expected. All of us are using a 64 bit environment and we all have difficulties cutting down the load time of making the first connection to Oracle. Some people are longer making the connection, but none are shorter.
One other note. After the first connection is made, taking 20 or more seconds, and is closed, all subsequent openings of the connection are instantaneous, for all of us.
If there is ANYTHING more I can get for you, please let me know. With my environment stable as it is, I will not need to format or change any information for the foreseeable future.
Here is the information you requested
1 The connection method I am using, I have chosen the manual connection for you, however the delay exists if the connection is made through the GUI as well.
Historically, I am getting slow connection speeds through adding the connection through the GUI or by a manual connection. Here is how I am doing it manually. I have the connection being created in 20 seconds, which is the best I can get.

I fought for weeks about the ODAC version 11.2.0.1 that you see in the previous post, and that would be a whole new thread. Suffice it to say I have a reliable environment to program in with this 10.2.0.1.0 version that I am running now, and the connection time has not changed, it is still minimum 20 seconds load time, sometimes up to 25.

I amm not sure what filename you would need in addition to the product names that I have installed.
