[SOLVED] Thunar slow to start under xfce 4.10

Hi,
Today my xfce updated to 4.10 and Thunar was slow to start. So I opened up the smb-browse.mount file expecting to see automount set to true but in fact it was still on false. So it looks like the usual trick to fix slow startup of Thunar is not working for me.
I am certain that gvfs is still the issue though because if you open a terminal first and do
#gvfs-ls network:
there is a delay of similar length and any attempt to start thunar is instant

Found a work around by setting AutoMount=false in /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
If both the above tests pass, try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, click Computer, left click Local Disc C once to highlight it, right click Local Disc C and select Properties. Click the Tools tab and then click the button to 'Check the Drive for Errors'. In the following window make sure both boxes are ticked and then click Start. Agree to schedule the check at the next system restart and then restart the notebook - this process can take several hours to complete before loading back into Windows.
Regards,
DP-K

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) running slow on start-up

Hi,
My MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) seems to be running very slow on start-up and when i have more than two applications open. This only seems to have become apparent following my upgrade to Yosemite. I read a few blogs and i decided to disable FileVault in the hope that it would speed up, but it has not. I have also verified and repaired permissions of the HD and start-up disk in Recovery mode. Can anyone help?

Thanks for your help.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console 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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

☞ 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Slow to start and general performance. Endless DataDetectorsDynamicData.crash logs

Suspect this occurred with upgrade, however I've been using my Macbook Air a lot of late simply due to lack of time to address.
Assistance to resolve greatly appreciated.

I've had a look and the Data directory didn't exist. I've just tried creating it and it appears the crash logs have not stopped.. Will try restarting and see if this impacts this issue and report back.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

OS 9 won't start under Tiger

Hi,
My Classic environment will no longer start under Tiger, although I can boot from it independently. I suspect my recent maintenance activities may be to blame. I have three internal drives, all with Tiger and one also with OS 9.2. Recently the boot disc showed signs of failing: I caught it in time, imaged the disc and replaced it. After a bit of fiddling with the remade disc I could start from it. Unfortunately I can't recall whether OS9 has ever worked since, but I think it has. I don't use it often.
I have tried booting under Tiger with extensions off and also moving and replacing the Finder so that it is 'blessed', both without success. I thought about reinstalling but I get a message saying I can't install over a newer OS.
All help gratefully received!

Problem solved: I reinstalled the printer drivers as they had also been affected by my maintenance and Classic now fires up perfectly. I can't begin to imagine why this should have had any effect, but there we are

[SOLVED]Remaining Batter time gone after Xfce 4.8 update

I opened this thread in the DE section because I think it's related to the recent XFCE Update.
I've updated my system. It included the XFCE 4.8 updates. After the update process it already noticed some changes to XFCE so I rebooted. After that I noticed that the applet for the remaining battery time does not show the time anymore. Just the status (like 60%). The remaining time is always 00:00 if I enable it. I already tried removing and adding the applet.

Before the update the time was shown correctly. I included the pacman.log from the update. If I type acpi in my terminal it gives
$ acpi
Battery 0: Discharging, 52%, discharging at zero rate - will never fully discharge.
Edit:
I found this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109318
When I enter acpi -p instead of acpi -b the time is shown. How can I make the applet now displaying the remaining time?
Edit2
An update of the battery applett fixed it

OK, I got it.
In case someone else has this problem. The Trash and Removable Media icons were checked in Desktop Settings/Icons, but none of them showed up on the Desktop. The reason turned out to be the way how I started up xfce: instead of
exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session
in my .xinitrc, it should be
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
startxfce4 is a script wrapper for xfce4-session, which also sets some env variables...
Thanks anyway

Firefox slow on start up

my Firefox 3.6.8 running on XP is very slow on STARTING UP
add-ons : no script - image zoom - pearl page saver
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I too had the same problem. Fx (3.6.x on Windows 7-x64 Home Premium) needed a long time to start, with a lot of hard disk activity. Solved it by cleaning up Java (version 6 update 21) with JavaRa.
Te be clear: Java functioned, and it still does, without any problem on my pc.
I have only this one version of Java installed.
I took the following steps:
# First I made sure I had only 1 version running of the Java plugins/addons in Fx. I have Java Platform SE 6 u21 and the Java Deployment Toolkit, both version 6.0.210.7, and Java Console 6.0.21 installed.
# I downloaded JavaRa from [http://raproducts.org/wordpress/software]
# I then closed Fx and ran JavaRa
# I chose the option: 'Remove Older Versions', even though I didnt have any older version of Java installed. It found and removed some older Java files and registry-entries anyway.
# Then I used the option 'Additional Tasks' and checked 'Remove Useless JRE Files'.
# After this I closed JavaRa and ran Fx again.
Problem solved, Fx booted up within a few (2-5) seconds instead of 20-30 seconds. I hope others can benefit from this. I suspect Java is often the cause of Fx starting very slowly.

Slow iTunes start-up

Hello,
I am having some issues with my iTunes. Everything works fine except the start up. When i click the iTunes icon to start it up. It takes anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes, yes MINUTES to start; sometimes more.
I have a great computer! I run everything on maximum settings as well as running games on ultra settings without any problems. ONLY iTunes is painfully slow at starting up.
NOTE: It doesn't matter whether my ipod is connected or not.
PC Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 975 @ 3.33GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
4096MB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

Hi,
I had the same problems. Sometimes fast start , sometimes slow start of iTunes. I found out what difference is. First a little context info
I use iTunes with an iPhone to synch everything including the Microsoft Exchange server (email) from work.
Now this is the culprit. iTunes does a perfect job synching everything in both directions. As soon as you connect the iPhone it will pop up and start synching.
So when doesnt it popup and takes a few minutes?
When I am outside the business network and there is no connection to the Exchange server. iTunes seems to try and connect to it (as it should), but the time-our for it seems to be long. If I attached the phone to my laptop and see that I am waiting, I just forgot to setup the VPN connection to work. As soon as I open that connection, iTunes can find the Exchange server right away and opens up.
So in short. Synching with Microsoft Exchange while that server is not available causes a 5 minute delay in startup. Connect to the exchange through vpn or local network at work gives an instant startup.
iTunes version: always the latest, so the fix mentioned in 2nd post does not apply to this situation

Apps won't open and computer is slow to start up

My mac book is screwed up. About a week ago I noticed that everything on my computer started working extremely slowly. So, I ran a verify disk in disk utility. I got a message that my start up disk had an error. So, I started up from the install disk and ran repair disk in the utility program. Once that finished I got a message that there were no problems found. So, nothing changed still slow. I decided to start up in safe mode and see if that fixed things. Well, after starting safe mode and then restarting regularly it was still very slow to start up and on top of that no applications, except for Mail and Safari, will open. Also, I have tried to back up the few files I have that were not backed up already and I keep getting error messages and can't move files. So, what do I do now? I live quite a long way from the nearest mac genius bar and would like to fix this here if possible. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's sounds like there's some corruption on your hard disk that Repair Disk fixes but then returns.
Be sure you drive is not overly full. Rule of thumb would be over 85%.
Then download DriveGenius you can use the tools there and the surface scan to diagnose. If the surface scan shows bad blocks, you'll need to replace the drive sooner or later and I'd suggest sooner.

Upgraded from 10.6.8 to Mavericks last week on my MacBook Pro running the 2.4 GHz i5 and it's painfully slow on start-up- I mean, 5 minutes or more, to be fully functional... Is this normal?

Upgraded from 10.6.8 to Mavericks last week on my MacBook Pro running the 2.4 GHz i5 and it's painfully slow on start-up- I mean, 5 minutes or more, to be fully functional... Is this normal?

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).
