Slow login and BT mouse

i have a Mac Pro 2x3.2 Ghz quad (great mac, btw)and since few days i see that after swithcing the pc on, at the login screen i cannot use the BT mouse nor the USB one for approx 20/30 sec (and so i cannot log in). The time to reach the login screen is normal, but i had never noted before such a slow to have the possibility to use the mouse.
Any idea or something i have to check??
thanks a lot, guys!

Delays and related can be caused by DNS errors, and by network errors.
OS X Server is dependent on correctly-configured DNS services.
To verify DNS, launch Terminal.app from the Applications > Utilities folder on the server, and issue the following diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That command won't make any changes, but will report whether your host name and your DNS are correct on your server.  You'll get some output and a message that no changes are required, or some output and a message indicating something about whatever error was detected.

  • Slow login and grey wallpaper?

    All,
    I have a 4 day old Macbook Pro Retina base config. I haven't had the need to reboot my machine since i first turned it on and maybe updating to the latest update. Last night I decided to shut down rather than put it to sleep.
    Today (fourth day) I turned it on, booted up fine, and when I logged in, I noticed it took like 5-7 seconds before it went to my desktop, at one point I thought it froze.
    Later on, i was messing with time machine, my external hd, itunes, caffeine, and the menu bar turned black, so I though to reboot the machine.
    After the reboot, I logged in, and notice the slow login again, and this time, the wallpaper i set up was gone and was replaced with a grey wallpaper.
    I searched a bit and notice a few people have had issues like this with Lion.
    Was wondering if there is a solution to this?
    Thanks!

  • SLOW logins and account switching after upgrade from Tiger to 10.5.6?

    Just bought and installed 10.5.6 as part of the MacBoxSet and had no problems installing the software. But when I tried to login, it took forever and still takes between 3 & 5 minutes to login in at boot-up or to change accounts. Gave up on trying to use fast switching. It just stalls everything. Most software seems to be running fine now. Did have some issues with "MAIL," but seem to have overcome those by deleting preferences.
    Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. THANKS ! !

  • My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

    My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
    I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
    HELP PLEASE
    Very worried!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • Huawei e220 hangs on Mac Mini G4 and USB mouse and keyboard slow way down

    I have a Mac Mini G4 running os10.5.8 My mouse and keyboard are a creative wireless combination that go to a USB hub then to the USB port on the mini. When I use my Huwei e220 wireless broadband modem, it frequently hangs when disconnecting, and the mouse and keyboard barely work. Activity monitor shows the CPU load is not very high at all, yet the mouse is almost stuck. If I put the computer to sleep, then it comes back and works fine. Its a bit of a hassle, and seems to be specific to the USB on the mac mini.

    Is the modem connected via USB?

  • Slow login - one guy's solution

    I was experiencing very slow login times several months after buying my iMac. I wanted my quick startup/login ready-to-go desktop. I tried zapping PRAM. Repaired permissions and disks. Emptied caches. Ran 3rd party utils. Archived and Installed Leopard again. Nothing.
    So I went through the system prefs and tried isolating different things and found that Bluetooth Sharing was the culprit. After disabling it (and disabling Bluetooth altogether as I'm not using any bluetooth devices with the computer) I had my speedy iMac back.
    So I thought I'd post it here just in case someone else may have the same problem. Better to try this before re-installing the whole system.

    Yes, on my Mac Pro I had issues with bluetooth. But this was the machine starting from sleep (or not going to sleep properly: fan running, but no response to keyboard). It turned out the bluetooth was "on".
    Also, I have stopped my bluetooth keyboard/mouse as the start-up of the Mac can be a problem when I need a keyboard key to e.g. start from DVD etc. So, now, I only use bluetooth very very successfully (i might add) for sharing my macbook with my mac pro.

  • Slow Mavericks and Activity Monitor Uselessness

    The recent Mavericks update may have improved performance to some degree, but I'm still experiencing unusual slowness of apps often.  One of the most irritating things is that the one app I except to help me shed light on the cause of the slowness, Activity Monitor, typically shows NO unusual heavy system load when I observe apps being slow.
    For example, I click on + in Safari to create a new tab.  I expect immediate response, an immediate new tab being open.  Instead, it takes maybe 5 seconds, perhaps even 10 seconds.  So, I immediately switch to the Activity Monitor window to see if I can identify what might have caused the slowness.  I think that maybe the CPU become extremely overloaded during that brief period.  But I see nothing in Activity Monitor to clue me in as to what the problem was.
    To me, this means Activity Monitor is not monitoring relevant activities.  I don't know why Safari is slow opening at tab, but whatever it is doing should be an activity that Activity Monitor monitors, since it obviously is something that takes the machine a lot of time to do.
    Could a knowledgeable person in Apple's software department respond here and say something about why opening a new tab in Safari takes so long?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, 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, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. 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 steps 1 and 2.

  • How do I fix a Safari application that slows down and freezes everything?

    Apple called last fall and said my particular Mac had a hard disk problem and they replaced it at the Apple store in late January 2013.  I backed up the information on an external harddrive and used Time Machine before to transfer all the information to the new drive. Everything worked well and I finally put on Mountain Lion at 10.8.4.  I also have Carbonite as a backup and it apparently was not enabled when I transferred the files until early May.  In early May I had not used my iMac for about a month and when I started it I found about 40 named file folders on the Desktop that were empty.  Some of those had named items in them but when I clicked on them they would dissappear.  The actual files did exist and were not effected when I dumped the apparent alias folders. Safari started and would be ok at first but if I went away for an hour it would slow down.  I took it in to the Genius Bar at Apple and they ran some tests and got rid of MacKeeper which they felt was causing the problem.  I got my Mac back home and it still started slow but worked well at first and then started going slow.  If I opened Word it would also start working at a slower speed.  I needed to force quit Safari and the Word progran in order to quit or restart the Mac.  I got an appointment for the next day and they ran all sorts of tests and the hard drive was working normally. They tried tweeking different areas and sent me home again.  When I started working again it did the same thing, I would start out fine and eventually slow down and needed to be force quit to get out of it. A message came up indicating my MasOSX startup disk had no more space available for applications memory.  I took it in a third time and the Genius went to the Activity Monitor and the Safari PID was 221 and %CPU 107, Threads 21 Real Mem 2.73 GB, Virtual Mem 22.00 Kind, Intel (64).  I had no idea what that meant. I went home again and it still ran slow and couldn't run the programs for any length of time before it ran slow and affected the other programs so they would only quit if I used Force quit.  I took it in for the forth time an they decided to keep it overnight. They ran ASD first to rule out memory.  They noticed during the appointment the computer was slow to perform normal tasks such as showing boot options, booting into user, bootingto external user.  If the ASD passed then they would perform erase and install and only restore users and application files from backup drive.  They did this on Wed and Thur. night and I took it home Friday night, June 14 and it still has the same problem. Typing this message right now means typing and waiting for the words to appear.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Slow logins to domain, several event ID errors (group policy, netlogon, NTP errors)

    We have a laptop user who was experiencing slow logons in a remote office.   (Remote office has 100 users, only 1 is reporting the issue).  Helpdesk swapped computers to give the user brand new hardware.   The new laptop worked
    fine while in the IT department in the main office, the user returned to their desk in their remote office after replacing the laptop and logged in and experienced the same slow logon issues as the older laptop.
    Logons take up to 45 mins to process.  (Login script hangs and does not process).  During the process, you can check IPConfig and it received the proper DNS settings.  you can ping the authenticating server by name.  We have scanning
    on our local copiers setup to scan to the users desktop, and this errors out.  DNS on the AD controller shows the proper IP address for the machine and you can ping the machine by name.
    System Event log is loaded with errors:
    Event ID 5719 - Netlogon, computer not able to setup a secure session with a domain controller in the domain
    Event ID 1129 - Group Policy, processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity
    Event ID 129 - Time Service, NTP Client was unable to set a domain peer to use as a time source
    Event ID 5783 - NetLogon, The session setup to the WIndows NT or 2000 domain controller (xxx) for the domain is not responsive.  RPC call cancelled.   (NOTE - you can ping this domain controller by name and by IP with no issues)
    Event ID 130 - Time-Service, NTP client unable to set a domain peer
    All these seem to point to RPC errors timing out because they cannot communicate to the network resources.  The problem happens on wired or wireless connections.  We had the user move to a different network connection (one we know is working for
    another user) the problem persists.   The problem was on the original computer and continues to happen even after replacing the hardware with a brand new laptop.
    I have tried running the following hotfix.  Which does not resolve the issue: 
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2459530 which technically this shouldn't be an issue because we use DHCP off the 2003 AD domain controller.
    I have checked the domain controller, AD Replication is processing with no issues.  DNS is working.  The local DHCP server has no issues or events related to this account and neither does the local DNS server or the authenticating server (which
    is in another remote office). 
     

    Hi,
    As we know, most of the time error event 5719 is caused by network connectivity issues or name resolution issue, I suggest you refer to this link to make a further analysis

  • Windows XP slow login when plugged into external network

    Hi,
    A about 9 months ago XP SP3 was rolled out with an image upgrade, since then there has been rumblings of slow logins when connected to an external network (eg a ADSL modem at home) but no evidence etc.
    About the environment
    Windows XP SP3
    Novell Client 4.91 SP5 IR1
    ZENworks 7
    Roaming profiles with folder redirection for Desktop, My Documents.
    We have just rolled out another upgrade to a number of base apps and this has come up again but with some evidence and some time for me to investigate.
    What I have discovered is this:
    When a laptop is plugged into an external network (I have used an ADSL network here at work to test this) the login for a user takes about 2 minutes with SP2 and about 3.5 minutes with SP3. This is done checking the workstation only box.
    This happens consistently on workstations.
    What I have done to narrow this down is as follows:
    Removed ZENworks 7 agent. Login times improved dramatically
    Installed older versions of ZENworks agent, all results the same, extra slow logins experienced with all versions tried.
    Installed ZEN agent and removed Novell Client, still the same slow login.
    Created a local user, fast logins experienced even with the ZEN agent installed.
    Disabled all ZEN services and logged in with an eDir account, slow logins all the same.
    Removed all policies from user and workstations, this made a slight difference but nothing much
    Disabled ZEN, no difference either
    Disabled NMAS, no difference either
    Removed some IDM installer we had rolled at the same time, no difference.
    Here are the timed results.
    XP with SP2 on corporate network = 30 secs
    XP with SP3 on corporate network = 35 secs
    XP with SP2 WS only ticked and ADSL modem plugged in = 2min
    XP with SP3 WS only ticked and ADSL modem plugged in = 3min 26 secs
    XP with SP3 WS only ticked and ADSL modem NOT plugged in = 45 secs
    XP with SP3 local user with ADSL modem = 45 secs
    So it's down to the ZEN agent really, but the update to SP3 hasn't helped either.
    I enabled debug logging and got the following from the log, usernames and servers have been removed:
    NWGINA log:

    OK, I'm out of Ideas.
    I was hoping for something much bigger :>
    You may want to post in the MS Forums in regards to the Timeout in that
    part.
    I would not mention ZCM or Client32 as that will just cause pushback.
    In short, there appears to be a long timeout for the redirected profile
    that extends beyond just client timeout settings.
    You may want to post the the Client32 Forum to see if they have anymore
    timeout tweaks.
    You may be able to use the "Bad Name Cache" to pre-popate that server so
    you can gain the 10 seconds w/o needing to disable the workstation service.
    Perhaps the "Give Up on Requests to SAs", but I've never messed with
    that before. Wait before giving up on DA may help too.
    Just guessing now.

  • My mac is slow, freezing and has horizontal lines.  How do I fix this?

    Hi, my mac is freezing, slowing down and horizontal lines appear.  How do I fix this?

    Run the Hardware Test in Extended mode.
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    You can use Apple Hardware Test to help determine if there is a problem with your computer’s hardware.
    To use Apple Hardware Test:
    Disconnect all external devices from your computer except the keyboard and mouse. If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it.
    Insert the “Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test” disc that came with your computer.
    Restart your computer and hold down the “C” key as it starts up. A list of available startup volumes appears. Click Apple Hardware Test and click the right arrow.
    When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears after about 45 seconds, follow the onscreen instructions.
    If Apple Hardware Test detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the error code before pursuing support options. If Apple Hardware Test does not detect a hardware failure, the problem may be software related.
    For more information about Apple Hardware Test, see the Apple Hardware Test Read Me file on the “Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test” disc.

  • Slow login time from GDM to Gnome

    Hello everyone,
    for a long time now I have been experiencing very slow login procedures. It takes about 40 to 60 seconds after I entered my password to get to Gnome shell (almost feels like Windows).
    There have been discussions about similar problems (e.g https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98901) and I have read a lot of them, but never found a solution.
    Isn't there some kind of log file where I can see what's taking so long?
    any help would be appreciated!

    Any help?

  • Linotype FontExplorer X auto-activation slows login time

    Hello folks,
    My problem is not that the core application FontExplorer X automatically opens at login. I have 'deactivated.. at login' - so the application itself only opens whenever I click it in the dock. However, the application's 'AutoLoad' plug-in starts at login. This is presumably a built-in feature that allows the core application FontExplorer X to load very quickly when selected at a later time. However, as a result, this seriously slows down my computer's login times.
    I've tried to remove it from login items, but it's only a temporary solution - as the next time I select the core application during the course of the day, I've found that the 'AutoLoad' plug-in 'reinstalls' itself in login items. Is there a way I could stop this 'AutoLoad' plug-in from starting up when I login and remove it permanently from 'login items'?
    Thanks.

    Here is the official work-around for this problem.
    1. Locate "FontExplorer X Pro.app" in Applications
    2. Right-click on "FontExplorer X Pro.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
    3. Navigate to /Contents/Helpers/
    4. Double-click "FontExplorerXLauncher-3.app" or right-click and "Open" to launch it manually. This is needed only once, afterwards the plugins will work normally.
    Please make sure you open the version with the "-3" suffix, the other one does not fix the problem.
