Startup time for ipod

Hi
What would you say is a normal startup time for the built in ipod app? Mine take 8 seconds to start if it isn't present in memory.

Yesterday, some podcast appeared in my playlist which I had deleted a long time ago. We're talking weeks here.
It was podcasts I had downloaded to the phone through wifi, and never synced to itunes.
I'm starting to suspect that there may be references to podcasts which no longer exists, or do exist but that the ipod app for some reason can't access them. I believe that the ipod app halts for 20 seconds because it's trying to locate/read these files but can't access them for some reason, then it times out.
I'm going to do a complete delete of all the contents on the phone this evening, the delete process which the phone states may take up to 2 hours, and then resync the phone and see if that solves the problem.

Different startup times for different accounts

Recently I have had slow startup times on my MBP. I tried adding a test account just to test to the startup speed on that account. My main account starts up fine until after the OS X load screen, then the background will load up, but it takes approx. 1 minute for the dock and the menu bar to appear. On the test account, the startup is much quicker and there is not the same lag that there is for my main account. I have recently repaired permissions and the hard drive. I have also removed all startup items for my main account. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing these slow startup times?

Try removing all those files and folders from your desktop and place them elsewhere in your home directory and see if that makes any difference. Otherwise, try deleting…
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
… and then immediately restart.

Slow startup time for JDeveloper 9i

The JDeveloper 9i release candidate takes a long time to startup. The pop-up window for method completion is also much slower than JBuilder 5.0. And I am using a 1.2 GHz P4 machine. Is it possible to speed up the startup time (maybe by making it not load certain libraries, such as XML editor, UML editor, etc.)?
Thanks
Roshan

This is a problem caused by references to files / URLs on
remote systems which are slow.
In particular, having projects with Remote Files/URLs in them
can cause slowness.
Same for Libraries - Having too many libraries or libraries with
remote links can slow down the system.
Look carefully at your project's Libraries and be sure you are
not including everything
Also see your project and make sure the files are all available
locally.
Let me know if this is the problem or not,

Average startup time for 2012 MBP with ML?

I recently bought a brand new 13" mbp (i5 2.5ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb 5400rpm). After installing some apps and updating mountian lion from 10.8 to 10.8.2, startup is much slower now and takes around 45 sec (time period from powering on the mbp to login screen). Also apps are launching slower now. Startup was taking less than its half before updating the mac os. Is there any way to improve the startup time? What is an average boot time for similar mbp?

I ordered mine on May 17, it was shipped from the factory May 24 (China) and delivered to my door the morning of May 25 (time zones and a date line account for the fast enroute time. I ordered the 7200rpm drive, 2gb RAM & glossy screen.
So far, absolutely no problems, the unit works perfectly.

Quick time for ipod

somehow, my itunes is frozen due to an error message regarding something about quicktime, which the help line suggested I delete and then reinstall quicktime download specific software for ipod/itunes..I need help...

I went in the control panel, deleted quicktime, reinstalled itunes from the apple help page, which I assumed bundled all the software together in one download, but it appears still no quicktime..I think if I could get that to download, it would appear to fix the problem. I believe I read yesterday there is a specific quicktime for ipod users, vs. normal users, and possibly that is why it froze.?

Long startup time for Digital Editions Version 4.x

Hello
I've updated the digital editions at my notebook form version 3.x to 4.x
I've access to all documents from version 3.x, but the start up time for
Digital Editions is very long, approximately up to two minutes!

In $DAC_HOME/CustomSQLs/customsql.xml
there is a part about analyze table:
<SqlQuery name = "ORACLE_ANALYZE_TABLE" STORED_PROCEDURE = "TRUE">
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(ownname => '@TABLEOWNER', tabname => '%1', estimate_percent => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE, method_opt => 'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS SIZE AUTO',cascade => false, degree => DBMS_STATS.DEFAULT_DEGREE)
</SqlQuery>
you can change DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE to a constant (eg 10 for 10%). However it will impact the analyses for all DWH tables.

Average battery time for ipod touch 4th generation

I recently bought an iPod Touch 4th Gen, and I'm surprised at how little use I get out of it between charges. I'm hoping someone with more experience can give me some feedback that might help me determine if what I'm seeing is normal.
I'm getting a maximum of 2 days use out of the iPod. I am currently using it a lot, as I'm still choosing apps and transferring data (sometimes by hand) from my old Palm. What I'm not doing is much in the way of power-hungry activities like video or games. I would say my average daily usage is...
- Downloading 3-4 apps (I'm trying different apps for budgeting, gas mileage tracking, etc.)
- Sufring the web (maybe 5-10 minutes a day, usually reading up on those apps or using the IMDb app
- Checking the weather once or twice on a few different apps (trying to find a good one)
- Adding things to a shopping-list app, or using it for shopping
- Using the calendar a few times a day
- Checking email maybe once a day (only if I'm tracking an issue at work and I'm not at my desk)
- Maybe playing one or two game of PoolBreak (every other day on average)
I have only once watched video, and I did it specifically to test the battery. I have a couple battery-monitoring apps, both of which tell me, after I get my first 20% warning, I should still get over an hour of video. So I tried playing a video, and got only 20m in before the iPod shut down.
Also, when I plug it in to charge, it shows the battery at 45% full within 5-10 minutes. I know there's a rapid-charge for the first 80% or so, but that seems rapid enough that I wonder about the capacity.
So...that's it. Any insights from iTouch owners would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, that's normal. The iPod uses a lot of power. For additional battery information see: http://www.apple.com/batteries For suggestions for conserving your battery see http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html

Wiki startup time

I have a wiki server that is bound to AD for authentication. It was upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.
Start up times for the wikid service takes over 10 minutes...
Any one else having long startup time for wiki?
here is the startup section for the wikid log:
2010-03-03 16:25:19-0500 [-] Starting
2010-03-03 16:37:03-0500 [-] in migration. repo version is: 23
2010-03-03 16:37:03-0500 [-] Discussion path does not exist, skipping: /Volumes/DMSan2/mediawiki/Users/cwbell2/discussion
2010-03-03 16:37:11-0500 [-] Running

How many users in your AD domain? Apparently there's a bug in wikid that makes it recreate all of its user preferences at restart, and if there are a lot of users this takes a while. Bryson Gore found a way to patch one of the scripts to solve the problem (at least for the moment); if you're feeling daring, the instructions are [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2253375#10906016].

Lack of good functionality for iPod Nano alarm timer?

Hi, I'm the proud new owner of a Gen 2 - 2GB Nano, and I had figured that between the Sleep function, the Alarm function, and the Stopwatch function, it would be something I could use to listen to music while working out, and at the same time use it as a timer for the couple of exercises I do that I'd like to time (as opposed to counting).
I would think this would be a key use of Nanos by many people, but what I find is that all of the options are less than desirable.
Alarm: I could set the alarm to go off at the allotted time, but what I would want is the "beep" and for the "beep" to come through the headphones. I'm listening to music using the headphones, so I don't to hear the "beep" emitting from the Nano's "internal speaker". Selecting a Playlist to be the alarm sound does work to alert me to it being time to switch exercises, but "switch" is the key problem here because it switches to that new (or the beginning of the same) Playlist. In other words, the main function of the Nano for me is to listen to music, and perhaps that will be an entire album while I work out, but using the Playlist feature for the sound of the alarm means I will be interrupted in the midst of, say, track 4 of the Playlist I'm wanting to listen to for my workout.
Sleep Timer function: Only allows me to select in 15 minute intervals (I need 11 or 12 minutes for one particular exercise, though I could live with 10 minutes, but that’s not even there). Plus the abrupt shutoff of the music that's playing is horrible. The intent of the Sleep Timer function of course makes the 15 minute interval choices make sense, but a bit of a fade for the music shutoff would be an improvement (and less likely to wake someone up who was just drifting off). If the Sleep Timer could actually let me set the number of minutes, it would be my solution (since upon stopping the music that’s playing, that position in the Playlist is retained and one can start listening again where one left off).
Stopwatch: Stopwatch isn't really useful for what I'm trying to do. It would be, of course, if it had a "timer" setting that let you program it for a number of minutes to count down, then upon reaching zero it would beep in the headphones along with the music being played, or just fade the music that’s playing, similar to what the Sleep Timer does, though it does it abruptly...
So two questions:
1. Do any more experienced iPod owners know of a way I can do what I’m trying to do? (Play music, be alerted when a specific number of minutes are up, and not have the position in the Playlist of the music I’m listening to be lost.)
2. What is the way to make suggestions to Apple for changes to the iPod software?
Any help/comments appreciated!
Thanks,
Rich Apple (and yes, Apple is my name, and no, Apple the company has never seen fit to give me a computer and take advantage of the wonderful “stealth advertising” I would naturally be… Oh, your name is Apple? Do you own the computer company? Well, no, but they actually did give me a computer; that’s how groovy they are.)
Nano 2GB Generation 2

Thank you, Jeff, for the couple of answers. I did put in a couple enhancement requests via the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html link, and I imagine such requests carry more weight if others also request them.
I requested that Apple make it so one can be alerted to an alarm via the headphones without losing the position in the playlist that one is listening to, or that the Sleep Timer be changed to accept a number of minutes rather than just choosing between the 15 minute increments. (Either being a means to time something (excersize, hard-boiling an egg, sex, or anything) and be alerted when the time is up without having to lose one's place in the Playlist.)
I also requested that the Sleep Timer function use a fade-out rather than the abrupt shut-off of the music.
Again, thanks for the link, and thanks for confirming that you too can't find a way to do the timed periods in the way that I would think many others would want.

My ipod touch is stuck in connect to itunes screen. I've tried to press Power and Home button at the same time for 10 seconds and all it does is go to a black screen. Press power button again and the usb cable with an arrow towards an iTunes logo.

I have a brand new Ipod touch with front facing camera. Not sure which generation it is. My wife connected the iPod Touch and chose the restore option when connecting to iTunes. It was a mistake and by the time I got there, I saw the screen with USB cable with an arrow facing towards iTunes logo. I cannot get the iPod out of this state.

Try here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Also reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have an iPod touch and also have the iHome.... When I first hooked it up it played music fine.....but now when I hook it up it says accessory unavailable for iPod touch and I've resetted it 2 times but still no music comes thru the iHome speakers

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!
