Takes more than 90 seconds to start iTunes

When I start iTunes, Airtunes is trying to connect to my Airport Express for more than one minute. When I press "stop" in the "Connecting to Airport Express" dialog, iTunes is immediately launched and I can immediately stream music through the Airport Express.
This proves the AE is set up as it should (I suppose), so why is AirTunes taking so long to connect?
When I set Airtunes to use my "Computer" speakers, iTunes launches in a number of seconds. When swtiching the speakers back to AE, it's immediately streaming to AE.
What's wrong with my setup?
Just to be complete...AE is not showing in my Airport System Preferences, Advanced Options, "Show Networks"

I have the same problem. Did you find out how to fix it?

[Solved] dhcpcd Takes more than 9 seconds to start up. How to lower?

Hi, I've tried many things to optimize my boot time, but the only one I'm very unhappy about is the time it takes for dhcpcd...
When I use "systemd-analyze", it says:
Startup finished in 6315ms (kernel) + 11435ms (userspace) = 17750ms
Also "systemd-analyze blame", says:
9576ms [email protected]
276ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service
276ms systemd-remount-fs.service
206ms systemd-udev-trigger.service
121ms systemd-sysctl.service
110ms systemd-modules-load.service
106ms dev-hugepages.mount
101ms sys-kernel-debug.mount
84ms systemd-udevd.service
60ms dev-mqueue.mount
57ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
23ms tmp.mount
23ms home.mount
15ms systemd-user-sessions.service
14ms systemd-logind.service
I did install e4rat and am currently using it. My /etc/rc.conf contains only this:
DAEMONS=(vboxservice)
I'm running ArchLinux as a guest in virtualbox (host is Windows 7) If you need anymore information, please tell me. I've been wondering why my dhcpcd takes >9500 ms just to starting up. Also, before using e4rat, I've got >5000 ms for dhcpcd instead of >9500. And before using e4rat, I get around 10000 ms, not 17000. However, I'm completely satisfied with all of the other times that it takes to start up the other processes, only dhcpcd seemed to increase, not decrease.
Thanks.

Don't know if it makes sense to add it globally, or how it could be done only on boot w/o netcfg...
Thanks! This fixed my problem! From ~17000 ms to ~7000 ms when running systemd-analyze. If I run systemd-analyze blame I get this:
462ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service
439ms systemd-remount-fs.service
153ms systemd-udev-trigger.service

46ms dev-mqueue.mount
43ms systemd-udevd.service
32ms tmp.mount
26ms home.mount
20ms systemd-user-sessions.service
17ms systemd-logind.service
Editing /etc/dhcpcd.conf and appending "noarp" cuts down the time significantly! Thanks a lot.

Why does the first Firefox browser takes more than ten seconds to open?

Once my laptop is logged into, Firefox's initial browser takes more than 10 seconds to open. The subsequent windows take less than two seconds. Much more complex programmes like photoshop open in next to no time. Is Firefox a 'heavy' programme to start?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I shifted to Firefox Windows IE two weeks ago. Eversince.

See http://autonome.wordpress.com/2010/ for progress of work being done to improve that.40

MacBook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start with ML ?

My Macbook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start. I press Start and it takes more than 10 minutes before I can enter my password. Need your help !

Sounds like time for a PRAM reset. Here's how:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as normal.

Ldap search query takes more than 10 seconds

LDAP query takes more than 10 seconds to execute.
For validating the policy configured, the Acess Manager(Sun Java System Access Manager) contacts the LDAP (Sun Java System Directory Server 6.2) to get the users in a dynamic group. The time out value configured in Access Manager for LDAP searches is 10 seconds.
Issue : The ldap query takes more than 10 seconds to execute at some times .
The query is executing with less than 10 seconds in most of the cases, but it takes more than 10 seconds in some cases. The total number of users available in the ldap is less than 1500.
7 etime =1
6 etime =1
102 etime=4
51 etime=5
26 etime=6
5 etime=7
4 etime=8
From the ldap access logs we can see the following entry,some times the query takes more than 10 seconds,
[28/May/2012:14:21:26 +0200] conn=281 op=41433 msgId=853995 - SRCH base="dc=****,dc=****,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(&(***=true)(**=true))(objectClass=vfperson))" attrs=ALL

The query was aborted by the access manger after 10 seconds.
Please post your suggestions to resolve this issue .
1.How we can find out , why the query is taking more than 10 seconds ?
2.Next steps to resolve this issue .

Hi Marco,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Sorry for replying late. I was out of office for few weeks.
1) Have you already tuned the caches? (entry cache, db cache, filesystem cache?)
We are using db cache and we have not done any turning for cache. The application was working fine and there was no much changes in the number of users .
2) Unfortunately we don't have direct access to the environment and we have contacted the responsible team to verify the server health during the issue .
Regarding the IO operations we can see that, load balancer is pinging the ldap sever every 15 seconds to check the status of ldap servers which yields a new connection on every hit. (on average per minute 8 connections - )
3) We using cn=dsameuser to bind the directory server. Other configuration details for ldap
LDAP Connection Pool Minimum Size: 1
LDAP Connection Pool Maximum Size:10
Maximum Results Returned from Search: 1700
Search Timeout: 10
Is the Search Timeout value configured is proper ? ( We have less than 1500 user in the ldap server).
Also is there any impact if the value Maximum Results Returned from Search = set to 1700. ( The Sun document for AM says that the ideal value for this is 1000 and if its higher than this it will impact performance.
The application was running without time out issue for last 2 years and there was no much increase in the number of users in the system. ( at the max 200 users added to the system in last 2 years.)
Thanks,
Jay

Opening PDF-files in Outlook 2007 takes more than 30 seconds.

Some of our users get multiple PDF-files as attachments in their Outlook 2007 mailbox. (In Citrix)
They have to read and print multiple PDF-files per day,
It takes them at least 30 seconds before the attachement opens, then another 30 seconds before the printoptions appears, and then another 30 seconds to give the actual printorder.
If yoy have to process 50-100 of those per day it is very annoying.
Does anywhone have a solution for this?
We work with Acrobat 10 and 11

Just for the heck of it, I renamed a FDF file to a PDF file and tried to open it, no go. I was able to import a FDF to the original PDF. The install option is a bit of an issue and I am not sure what to say to that. It may be looking for the PDF file on the hard drive and not actually be trying to install Acrobat. I opened a FDF in the same folder as the PDF and it opened right up. Otherwise, I think the location of the PDF has to be encoded in the FDF file. The form name is typically at the end of the FDF file (OPEN in notepad or such to look at the details of the FDF). You will not that it does not start as %PDF, but %FDF.
As I mentioned, Acrobat is likely looking for the original document listed at the end of the FDF file.

Why does my MBP 2011 take more than 90 seconds to boot and be usable

MBP 13" 2011, OS 10.9.4, 4G RAM
The boot time from press start to when I can use my MAC is excruciating, at least 90 seconds.
I have REPAIRED DISK PERMISSIONS AFTER EACH UPDATE OF SOFTWARE,
I have created a Guest Account and the 'start/to use time is 1/3.
I have NO 3rd party software, all Apple,
My iPhono Library is only? 10.5G
I have reset the SMC-Shift/Control/Option-hold- start
Once the Mac is up and running it seems to run ok with Safari, Mail running, but add to that NUMBERS or Garage Band 10, (fagedabowdit),
so, short of more patience, or RAM, any suggestions on this LOOOOOOOONG boot time?
Thank you all

Ok, I'm gonna re-read this Transferring files from one User Account to another coupla times. Trying to see how I can see both accounts/homes at the same time.
Is this the home folder items on the right I copy and paste into the new HOME on the newly created Admin Account (using a different name)? So I select the the 10 folders, select copy and I assume all content is copied as well and then paste that into.....ok, I'll bug off and read and re-read and then decide to try--or not.
This has been good, your help is spot on.

MacBookPro mid-2010 setting up WiFi connection takes more than 5 seconds

When I open the lid of my MacBookPro (mid-2010), it sets up the WiFi connection. This takes about five seconds. If I unlock my iPad, the connection is there almost immediately. Is there a way to speed up the MacBookPro, setting up the WiFi connection?
Still running Snow Leopard, not Lion.

Have a cup of coffee while you wait the five seconds.

Client takes more than 120 seconds connecting to server

Any ideas?
Could the creation of a new Data Source (ODBC) help?
Versions:
- SB1 2005 SP01 PL 16
- MS Windows Server 2003 R2 (Standar Edition) SP1
Thank's

Have you got multiple network cards in the license server? There is a known issue with this where the application has to wait for a reply or a timeout from each network card.
If this is the case and you try disabling one of the network cards does the issue go away?

[Solved] File "Save As" takes more than 20s before dialogue box opens

Whenever I use File "Save As" in any non-kde application (eg firefox, medit, kino), the dialogue box opens immediately but then takes more than 20 seconds to display the contents of the initial directory, after which I can then save the file. Alternative directories can then be selected instantly without problem. Starting File Save As again, causes the same long delay, so its not a caching issue. This occurs in XFCE4, LXDE & KDE.
KDE apps, however, list the contents virtually immediately, indicating that its not a disk or filing system problem.
The XFCE4 theme (under Appearance > Style) is Foresight, and the icon theme is Nuvola. Changing these does not make any apparent difference.
This is on a SATA drive with 84 GB free running Arch 64.
Can anyone suggest how this can be rectified?

Many thanks for that - problem solved.
The file contained 323 lines pointing to a single directory with multiple subdirectories, none of which was a removable device.
Moving the file to another location, resulted in the File Save As operation functioning properly.
Not sure if I actually use gtk-bookmarks as it hadn't been modified in over 6 months.
Anyway, thanks again - its made a big difference.

Apps take longer than 15 seconds to get deleted

I got my iPhone 4s last September amd since then I've updated the firmware twice hoping that would solve the problem but it didn't so please tell me what else i can do:
When i hold an app to delete it, it does start to wriggle immediatly but when i press the delete button it takes more than 15 seconds for the are you sure message to pop up. I don't normally delete apps so i keep forgetting that that bug is there but when i do delete apps its when i urgently need space to take a video or something so its really frustrating when it takes me over ten minutes to just delete a couple of apps and yes it doesn't happen for just one delete it happens for each delete. Ever since i upgraded to 5.1.1 the freeze time decreased a bit to 15-30 seconds it used to be longer but i could really use a permenant fix for this. I searched around a bit and didn't see that anyone else had complained of this problem so i dont know what to try and i really need someone to tell me how to fix it. Thanks!

It is also possible the the disk space is low. How much space do you have left on your phone?

Apps taking more than 5 seconds to open

My iPhone 3GS is running iOS4.0 and recently, all applications take more than 5 seconds to open. Whenever i open an application, it will only open / load after 5 seconds. Help is needed here

Did you actually power down the phone or did you simply put it to sleep?
The issue you describe sounds like the device is simply in need of a reboot. Press and hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the Apple logo appears, ignoring the "Slide to Power off" screen.

The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why the iTunes Scripting Brigde returned failed when it is actually success? It occurred exactly 2 minutes after submit the request to Scripting Brigde. Is this 2 minutes related to the Apple Event time out? if it does, how do I get around this problem? thx

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.
