Slow loading from internal HD

My iMac seems to have started taking ages to load so I tried loading from an external Firewire drive (a copy of the iMac HD made using SuperDuper Backup).
The results were as follows (approx):
1) From entering password to answering mouse click
iMac internal HD 1min 50 secs
Firewire HD 25 secs
2) Loading Firefox
iMac internal drive 2 min 40 secs
Firewire HD 25 secs
I would have expected the results to be the other way round. I am right in thinking that an internal drive should be quicker?
Disk utility doesn't report any faults and I've tried erasing and reinstalling the internal HD but with similar results.
Does this mean that the internal drive is about to fail or is there some other explanation?
I'm using a 700 Mhz PPC G4 with 384 MB SDRAM and Mac OS X 10.4.11

Those symptoms can also suggest a too-full hard drive. This is especially noticeable if you have only a small amount of physical RAM installed (384MB is a bit small for 10.4 IMHO--I prefer a min of 512MB for that OS version).
Low RAM means the system wants to write data to the hard drive. If the hard drive is too full, Virtual Memory takes longer find the qualifying storage blocks it needs. If it consistently can't find proper blocks on the hard drive, you can get a crash.
You should take a look at the list of articles on this site:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
It's an excellent resource. Focus on those articles with "maintenance" and "troubleshooting" in the title.

  • Slow Loading from Internet

    It takes forever to load an internet page (this one took at least 2 minutes). I thought it was a bad line or something, but I just bought my son a new iBook to start University next week. We connected through the same system and provider that this computer is using and had no problems with his computer.
    I have dumped cookies, emptied the cache, and cleared the history, BUT it still is slow.
    What can I do to speed things up?
    Thanks for all suggestions.

    Dave, according to the Apple specifications for a 333 MHz iMac, the maximum RAM would be 256 MB (two slots for two 128 MB chips), so I don't know how they gave you the 512 MB figure. As far as the rendering of web pages go, the extra RAM might help some but the limiting factor is the 8 MB video RAM. Nowdays web pages are being designed for computers with 32 MB or more video RAM. But if you don't need the graphics capability of a really fast computer, the cost of adding RAM might be acceptable hoping the hard drive and ROM drive hold up for several more years. The other way to improve performance on the Mac OS 8.6 is to allocate more RAM memory to the internet-related extensions and applications.

  • My email is extremely slow to load from my 4 separate accounts.  One of the accounts goes off line all the time.  It is not a service provider issue.  I think my passwords and ports may be all mixed up because I tried to adjust it myself.  How can I fix?

    My email is very slow to load from 4 separate accounts.  I think I messed up ports and SSL when I tried to fix it.  How do I fix this?

    Hello Mary,
    You may have multiple entries.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • Safari now slow loading pages from Apple!

    This is an add on from a future post today with this problem. Safari slow loading pages, NOW even slow loading Apple pages here on the discussion board.

    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Data load from R3 is slow and gives rfc connection error

    any ideas where can I look for solution.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Check the connection between the R/3 and BW.

  • I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

    I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac.

    There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
    The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
    I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

  • PP suddenly very slow loading files, generating peak files

    Project from yesterday suddenly extremely slow loading, syncing files and generating audio peak files. Using PP 2014.2 on HP Z800. SSD system drive, internal raid and three USB 3 drives connected to USB3 pci-e card. Suspect drive could be hanging up but not sure how to test since all was fine last night. Files are HD 23.98 quicktime prores

    I also notice my CC connection needed to be reset several times. The Control Panel internet settings keep switching back on LAN from Automatically detect settings to Use a proxy server. My computer is dual 5650 processors, 24 g ram, so don't see that as problem, especially since this worked yesterday.
    Could really use help ASAP
    Thanks

  • AME CS6 painfully slow loading large quantities of clips.

    I'm using AME CS6 to transcode clips to prepare clips for delivery to a client that will only accept OP1a MXF's.  I have hundreds of clips to transcode and AME CS6 is unbearably slow loading them.  Usually I set up a watch folder but in this case I have two batches to run, one with about 750 individual clips and one with about 450.  Using watch folders just completely brought AME to it's knees trying to transcode a file while updating the queue.  I've just spent two hours loading the clips into AME by dragging/dropping them into the queue (that time includes time spent waiting while AME hangs while trying to change the codec/output setting).
    Earlier versions of AME were no where near as slow as this.  Even just scrolling up/down the queue that used to be fluid is now a click, wait, update..click, wait update process.  I could have copied the files from drive to drive in less time than this took to load/index.  Is there anything that can be done to speed up this process? 
    FYI
    Supermicro workstation
    Win7/64
    Dual Xeon X5650
    48Gb RAM
    nVidia Quadro 4000
    2x nVidia GTX 580
    Red Rocket
    SSD (OS)
    RAID-0 (media-internal)
    RAID-0 (render-external)

    lasvideo, thanks but that's not the same problem I am having. Appreciate you chiming in though!
    Stephen, thanks for writing. It's a pretty massive project and because clips often criss-cross between segments I have been working everything inside the same edit. I also wanted to see just how hard I could push Premiere (I've been using Premiere for 7 years now). Mind you once everything loads it still does just fine. Edits like a champ. Just was a bit frustrating with the load time.
    On #1, I don't have time machine set-up anymore as I ate up all my space.
    On #2 this is an interesting suggestion. I'm letting project manager analyze my project right now. I've never used project manager to break off individual edits so this should be interesting. Yes, just me on one machine. I'm shooting and editing at the same time and also doing graphics so I reckon by December. I have two full backups of all footage and edit files and save to a new edit file every couple of days (plus I have auto-save rolling).
    And for whatever reason, today when I opened a different project and then went back to the large project, suddenly the problem dissappeared. Weird but there it is. All 20,000 clips now load again under 4 minutes.
    Thanks for the assistance.
    Best, Dare

  • Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7

    Good Day
    I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
    the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
    My specs are:
    Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
    4 gig ddr3 transcend
    1 tb seagate 7200.12
    giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
    Please help lots of data.

    Another option:
    Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
    Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
    Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

  • Data load from Legacy system to BW Server through BAPI

    Requirements: We have different kind of legacy systems and SAP BW server. We want to load all legacy system data into SAP BW server using BAPI. Before loading we have to validate all data. If there are bad data, data missing we have to let the legacy system user/ operator knows to fix the data into their system with detail explanation. When it is fixed, we have to load the data again.
    Load Scenario:  We have two options to load data from legacy systems to BW Server.
    1.     We need to load data directly from legacy system to BW Server using BAPI program.
    2.     Legacy Systems data would be in workstations or flash drive as .txt (one line separated by comma) or .csv file. Need to load from .txt /.csv file to BW Server using BAPI program.
    What we want in the BAPI program code?
    It will Read / Retrieve data from text / csv file and will put into the Internal table. Internal table structure would be based on BAPI InfoObject structure.
    Call BAPI InfoObject function module ‘BAPI_IOBJ_CREATE’ to create InfoObject, include all necessary / default components, do the error check, load the data and return the status.
    Could some one help me with the sample code please? I am new in ABAP / BAPI coding.
    Is there any other better idea to load data from legacy system to BW server? BTW we are using BW 3.10. Is there any better option with BI 7.0 to resolve the issue? I appreciate your help.

    my answers:
    1. this is a scendario for a data push into SAP BW. You can only use SOAP-Based Transfer of Data.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/8012403dbedd5fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    (here for BW 3.5, but you'll find similar for 7.0)
    In this scenario you'll have an RFC dinamically created for every Infosource you need to transfer data.
    2. You can make a chain for each data load, so you can call the RFC "RSPC_API_CHAIN_START" to start the chain from external.
    the second solution is more simply and available on every release.

    Sergio

  • IMac - Slow load and wifi problems

    I have lion installed on my macbook pro and on my iMac. My macbook pro works GREAT...no problems. My iMac - I am ready to toss out a window. Here are the problems:
    INCREDIBLY slow boot up time - 5-10 minutes from off - 5-8 minutes from sleep
    The hard drive is constantly working. I can have nothing open and it sounds like the hard drive is constantly spinning
    Half the time my wifi hardware is not found on boot up and I have to reboot with slow load times - sometimes taking 20 minutes before I can get logged in to a 'working' computer
    A lot of my programs have become slow. Safari can be slow responsive but others that are not apple that have done 'lion updates'
    I have my activity monitor running and nothing seems to be hogging resources. My iMac specs are:
    2.8 intel core i5
    12 gb ram
    2 TB hard drive with about 1tb free
    I ran the lion update that came out and it did not seem to do much for me.
    Anyone have a solution? Anyone tried a clean format and did this work? Lion works great on my laptop and I just need it to work on my main computer as well.
    Reba

    i think part of the boot up time issue is the amount of windows you happen to have open when you put it to sleep
    other is lion upgrade slows it down due to this auto save function
    my wifi is also spotty and acts like it can't find itself at times
    and this is a brand new imac

  • Load from ODS into InfoCube gives TIME-OUT runtime error after 10 minutes ?

    Hi all,
       We have a full load from ODS into InfoCube and it was working fine till the last week upto with 50,000 records. Now, we have around 70,000+ records and started failing with TIME_OUT runtime error.
       The following is from the Short Dump (ST22):
       The system profile "rdisp/max_wprun_time" contains the maximum runtime of a
    program. The current setting is 600 seconds. Once this time limit has been exceeded, the system tries to terminate any SQL statements that are currently being executed and tells the ABAP processor to terminate the current program.
      The following are from ROIDOCPRMS table:
       MAXSIZE (in KB) : 20,000
       Frequency       :  10
       Max Processes : 3
      When I check the Data Packages under 'Details' tab in Monitor, there are four Data Packages and the first three are with 24,450 records.  I will right click on each Data Package and select 'Manual Update' to load from PSA. When this Manual Update takes more than 10 minutes it is failing with TIME_OUT again.
      How could I fix this problem, PLEASE ??
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • SQL Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be = [10000000]

    Hi,
    running SQL*Loader (Release 8.1.7.2.1) causes an error "SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be <= [10000000]". This error occurs when SQLLoader is trying to load several thousand records into a database table. Each record is less than 250 bytes in length.
    Any idea what could cause the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    As a second guess, the terminator changes or goes missing at some point in the data file. If you are running on *NIX, try wc -l data_file_name.  This will give a count of the number of lines (delimited by CHR(10) ) that are in the file.  If this is not close to the number you expected, then that is your problem.
    You could also try gradually working through the data file loading 100 records, then 200, then 300 etc. to see where it starts to fail.

  • Very slow loading time - Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

    Hi,
      I search this forum to find another thread regarding this issue.  Since I've found nothing in particular, I started this one.
      We are currently developping a new report engine based on the .Net Crystal Report Viewer. This engine will be used in our applications to show, print and export reports.  We based the engine on the Crystal Report 2008 version (12.0.2000).  The code is in C#, targeted on the Framework 3.5 SP1.  For the CR runtime, we tested on machines with the SP2 and SP3 versions, as well as on a computer with Crystal Report Developper installed (v12.3.0.601) with no runtimes.  Since the runtime is in x86 only, the engine is compiled in x86 (not ANY CPU)
      When we try to open a report in an application, the first report loading is unusally slower than the others.  If I open a report, close it and open it a second time, the second time is much faster than the first.  While reading the threads, I realized that the first load implies some assembly loading from the Framework (which is normal).
      But since i can take as long as 20-30 seconds to load the first report, I ran some test.  Using the System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad event, I've tracked the assemblies being loaded when opening the report and the start time of the loading.  I've discovered that, while most of the CR assemblies takes less than 500 milliseconds to load, there is one that takes at least 3 seconds (20 seconds sometimes) to load : BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeyCodeDecoder.  Each time I ran the tests, it is the assembly that is the slowest (and by far) among them all.
      Prior to this, we were using Delphi with the Crystal Report 10 runtime.  We never had such issues.  Now, some customers are complaining about this behavior.
      For you information, we are using the ReportDocument.Load() method to load documents.  Our reports are all dynamically linked to the database with the DataSourceConnections.SetConnection() method.  The report is being loaded in the viewer using the CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource property.
      Why does it takes so long to load/execute ? Is there something implied with registry keys or Internet access ?  Is there a way to speed up things ?
      Thanks !

    Thanks for your help Don ! :o)
    I know that the CR10 runtime was built on win32 and while I knew that the .Net version of the runtime would be slower due to the Framework and .Net architecture, we did not expect such differences between the two methods.
    You are right that the hardware could play a great factor here, but since I work on this machine for a few years now and I saw the performance from the old CRPE32.dll and the new .Net counterpart, I am really surprised that there is such a difference.  Most of our customers have entry-level desktops and our application always ran well on it, until now.
    So, if it is the way that the CR 2008 runtime works, do you know if your developpers optimized this part with the next version (CR 2010) or it is based on the same engine ?
    Thanks again for your time !
