Spool printing takes a long time for just one user

Hello,
Could someone please guide on what could be the reason that spool printing takes a long time for just one user ?
I've monitored all the spool processes through SM50, and I've found that a very long time elapses before the printing job appears in one of the four spool processes.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
very long time elapses before the printing job appears in one of the four spool processes.
can u check the trace file(Red color error) of that spool process. Also can u see if there are any system logs in SM21 related to that spool request.
Also see how many pages the user is giving print @ 1 shot. Suppose if the printer to whcih the user is giving print is a network printer, see the network response time.
Have u tried to ask the same user to give print to some other printer. Also have u asked some other user to print to that problematic printer. Check the responses under this scenario also.
Regards,
Ravi

Takes a long time for Apple logo to show up on boot up

My 13" mpb early 2011 takes a long time for the Apple logo to show up... Is there a way to fix this? (It should show up within 2 seconds after the initial chime)
I have Win7 installed, could it be that? Since it might be detecting which partition to boot up with.

Check login items ...
Remove all items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac to test.
Not necessarily a Windows issue.

Why it takes a long time for my MacBook Air to turn on?

I brought my MacBook Air at a Power Mac Center to fix vertical lines on the screen. The vertical lines were removed. But since then, when I turn on my laptop, it takes a long time before it actually turns on. Sometimes, after pressing the power button, something seems to run at the upper left corner of the keyboard (near the power adapter) but it takes me practically hours before it actually turns on.
And when it is turned on already, I observed some unusual behaviors happening:
- Sometimes, while it is turned on, the battery status in the menu bar looks operating normally, but after a while, the trackpad will no longer work until the battery status says, "No Battery Available" and "Power source: Power Adapter".
- Sometimes, several horizontal lines appear on the screen then after a while the laptop will hang up.
- Sometimes, the sound sounds abnormal then after a while the sound no longer operates, and when I check the Sound at the System Preferences, it says, "No input devices found"
- Several applications do not work anymore, like Calendar, TextEdit, Reminder, Facetime, Preview and others.
Please help me figure out the problem. I cannot use my laptop as regular as before. I can no longer catch up with paper work deadlines because of these problems.

Please, help me. I need an immediate response so I could try to fix the problem because I need to use my laptop right away. Pls help.

On one mac, is it possible for just one user to download and use windows, or will it force all the users to use windows?

I want to download windows on the guest identity, so that I can play pc games (which only work on windows), but I dont want to have to use windows on my regular user identity. Does anyone know if it will only download for the one user?

no user is forced to use Windows.

Takes a long time for the status of the dshboard to go from unknown to display the information

been trouble shooting a issue with this server where its running fine for a few weeks then it will slow down shares will stop working or print services, eventually has to reboot it, a few times it wouldn't reboot and would just hang and had to be hard shut
down.
ran through diagnostics with Dell and Dset tool they didn't see anything wrong, we updated a few things and did the offline diag from the boot up and found a RAM issue, we pulled the ram out blew out the slots plugged it back in and everything has been fine.
but seems like there is some of the issues creeping back in, Dell says its not hardware so looking at OS issues
its a 2012 std server Power edge R520 Xeon E5-2420 with 32 gigs of ram, its a file server print server AD, only server for this construction company of about 20 users.
when ever I load up the server manager it shows for about 5 min or longer unknown for everything, after 5-10 min some things fill in till its full, also the Volume shadow copy service keeps stopping and flagging it red in the server manager. have run sfc
and not really seeing what could be wrong, everything shows fine,
have not had any complaints about speed or not being able to access the shares since we did the downtime and reset the ram in the slots but when I even try to get to something like updates from control panel it takes about 15 min or so for the application
to load up, but other things are fast like normal, its somewhat selective.
any ideas?
thank you!
Brandon Dillon

Hi Brandon Dillon,
On current situation, please logon the server and open Server Manager. Then navigate to BEST PRACTIES ANALYZER and start BPA Scan. Please monitor the result. Meanwhile, please check
if find some events which may be related to this issue. Those may help us to go further analyze.
In addition, please
perform a clean boot on the server. Then open Server Manager and check if this issue still exists.
If any update, please feel free to l tem know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Adjust for daylight time saving different for just one user

I justed started a new job and I am introduced in a new Windows Terminal Server environment. We use Windows 2003 Server, Exchange 2003, a Sun Fire V210 server and SunRay 270 TC's. The SUN part is totally new for me, so forgive me ;-)
We have one user that has an Outlook (2003) problem. She saw that after the 28th of March, when the summertime here in the Netherlands is active, her appointments are shifted for an hour. I checked as a Windows administrator the Windows TS she is working on and it has the correct TZ(GMT+1, Amsterdam) and the option for Adjust Daylight Time Saving is enabled.
Then I checked with her in Outlook, whether this setting is reflected correctly. In Outlook I went to Tools, options, Calendar Options, Time Zone and the checkbox 'Adjust for Daylight Time Saving' is disabled! That is strange since this should be the setting of the server and as I already wrote, this is correct. Ofcourse therefor she can't enabled it here. I let her login with her id card on a different TC 270 client and the same problem there. Than I started on my laptop a remote desktop connection to the Windows TS and we checked again. The strange thing is, now the option is enabled and all her appointments are correct after the 28th of March.
We have checked with all the other users and nobody else has this problem. We have deleted her Windows profile totally but this didn't solve it.
Since it only happens when using TC's, I reckon the problem is with the Sun TC's or the SunRay Server.
Does anybody has a clue what this could be? The Sun Fire doesn't save user specific information, does it?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards,
Olaf

Ok, now I am a bit confused. I saw the page http://wikis.sun.com/display/SRWC2dot2/Home and looking at that, it seems the SRWC software is Windows software, We have not installed any Windows software from SUN. So, also no SRWC software on Windows. I thought the SRWC was a software component on the SunRay server?
Maybe I did not explain the problem correctly, but the we have several thin clients, SunRay 270's. They are connected to the Sunray Server, Sun Fire v210. This server redirects them to our Windows Terminal Server. We use Exchange Server 2003 on our Windows 2003 Servers.
We have one user with the problem. She puts in her ID card in the TC, she is redirected to our WTS, she logs in in the Window login prompt. She starts Outlook and sees in there with Tools, Options, Calendar Options, Time Zone, that the Adjust Daylight Time Saving is disabled. Although this is on the WTS server enabled, system wide.
When she doesn't use a TC but starts a remote desktop connection from a Windows machine to the WTS, it works fine.
Again I apologise for my lack of knowledge on the SUN side of this.

How does one install Firefox on Windows 7 for just one user, so separate users can have completely independent Firefox installations?

I'd like to create a new user, and install firefox for that user completely separate in all respects from the existing user's installation, so that there is no interaction at all between the two installations, with separate copies of the program files as well as separate Firefox profiles.

I was asking about how to have multiple Windows user accounts, and how to install Firefox independently for different Windows user accounts.
Firefox does not ask if you want to install it for everyone or just the current user, unlike many programs.
I tried switching to the newly created Windows user account, which was able to use the Firefox installed by the other user account, and installing Firefox, and although there's no indication that it's installing a user specific copy of Firefox, it is. Now the original user account sees it's installation of Firefox and the second user account sees it's installation of Firefox and no longer runs the first users installation of Firefox.
Creating separate Firefox profiles is what I was trying to say I didn't want to do. That's why I mentioned wanting completely separate copies of the program files, not one copy of the program files running two instances simultaneously.

Jcifs exception for just one user

We have jira deployed under solaris, and we're using NTLM authentication via jcifs. For one user we are seeing an exception being thrown all other user have no problem. The exception is the standard:
jcifs.smb.SmbAuthException: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
at jcifs.smb.SmbTransport.checkStatus(SmbTransport.java:503)
If we move the jira instance to a windows machine from solaris this one user gets authenticated successfully. Move things back to solaris and this one single user cannot get authenticated.
I was hoping someone could give me a lead, as this seems very strange and not very computer like to me...
;)

turns out the solaris to windows move was only part of the equation, probably symptomatic of the immediate issue. As it happened if the user went to a different machine the problem didnt exist. So it was tied to a particular machine. Im thinking there was/is some invalid kerberos ticket hanging around for some reason, or some registry setting on the client machine... who knows! Im sure the evidence is all there, just canny see the wood for the trees sometimes.
Thank you for any thoughts raised, we can close this one off.

Reprot doesnt run for just one user works fine for others

hi guys
i am having a weird issue. we have one user who cant run a workbook everyone else can. She has security to it, but this is the first time she had tried runnign this workbook.
there are some plants selected in the menu when we remove those plants than the report runs fine. so i am guessing it has something to do with those plants. but as mentioned ealrier she has security to them.
the msg she gets instantly is "No Applicable Data" . if its was a auth issue she would get a diff error. This is BW3.5 front end.
Does it have anything to do with the Personalized setting options. becasue when she run the query some plants show up by default in thye sel menu. but not he ones that she is having the issue with.
any ideas appreciated.
Thx

it can be personalization or saved variants
when she run and u see the variable screen execute it and then in next window right click and hit delete personalisation
now if this doesnot solve then when u see variable screen try to see if she didnt save any variants
by accident
delete those variants

Syncing issues for just one User

I have one user who has an issue with the flags for messages that have been replied to or forwarded via ActiveSync intermittantley not updating back to Outlook or OWA.
This has been the case with at least 5 different andriod devices, and several new Outlook profiles have been created also.

Is there anything you can see in the Application Logs for this user e.g. Event IDs 10030 & 10031?
Try moving the user to another mailbox database to see if this resolves the issue.

Printing tables takes a long time

Hi,
I am using the printerJob.printDialog() to print tables (I implemented a print method).
The problem is that when the table has many entries printing takes very long time (printing table of 100 entries might take a couple of minutes).
I am using the SwingWorker when printing in the following way:
final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
    public Object construct() {
        try
            PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            printerJob.setPrintable(printable);
            if (!printerJob.printDialog())
                return 0;
            NMSMainWindow.getInstance().setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
            printerJob.print();
            NMSMainWindow.getInstance().setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(NMSMainWindow.getInstance(), "Printing completed successfully", "Print", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
        catch (PrinterException pe)
            pe.printStackTrace();
            NMSMainWindow.getInstance().setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    return 0;
worker.start();My question is: Is there a way to send a print job in the background, but in the meanwhile, while it is being processed, keep on working?
Thanks,
Efrat

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 takes a long time to run 'X11.app' (with system log)

Hello everyone, English is not my mother tongue so may not be exactly correct, sorry about that.
Background:
I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and was running Leopard 10.5.
I did a clean installation and now Snow Leopard 10.6.2, with iLife, iWork, and many many apps.
I am the only one who will use the Mac and my user account is as the 'admin'.
I previously had a problem concerning X11 too:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343732
*What I've done:*
(1) rename my HD to 'Michaels_Home' under 'Get Info' from Finder (I can't rename in Disk Utility though)
(2) press return (enter)
(3) change my home folder path to the '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
(4) restart
(5) log in and open X11
(6) problem solved!!
==========
*BUT NOW* I have a problem after:
(1) log in as the root user, and use command +ditto -V xyz xyz+ to copy my home folder from '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' to '/Users>Michael'
(2) change my home folder path to the '/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
(3) use the Mac OS X Snow Leopard USD$29 disc to boot my Mac up
(4) delete the 'Michaels_Home' partition (I had 3 partitions: (1) Macintosh HD (2) Michaels_Home (3) Windows XP Professional)
(5) resize the 'Macintosh HD' partition
(6) boot from Macintosh HD
(7) find that there's a problem about X11
_The problem:_
it takes a *long time* for X11 to start.
When I try to open the 'X11.app', the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens.
Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just the X11 icon on the dock.
What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the app isn't running at the moment.
I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not responding'.
So, I open the *Activity Monitor*, and I can see there are 3 apps related to X11 are running:
(1) X11
(2) X11.bin
(3) xauth
*At the moment now, if you would wait for about 1.5 min., X11 will open.*
Please see below for the system log (from 'FREEZING' to 'WORKING')

So what actually causes this problem?
Thanks in advance!

It turns out that there's something wrong about permissions.
Here's the fix:
(1) log in as the +root user+
(2) type +chown -R Michael:staff ~Michael+
(3) log out the +root user+
(4) log in your account
(5) done!
Hope this thread will help those who encounter the same problem as me!
