Taking a long time to import photo(graph)s especially only for new ones...

Hello.
iPhoto '11 takes a long time to import from a Sony digital camera has thousands of photo(graphs). Most of them were already imported, but why does it need to rescan all of them to import the new ones (e.g., 250 of them)? Is the only way to skip is to remove these old ones from the digital camera's memory?
Thank you in advance.

Or use several smaller cards instead of one large one - it is your choice, if you want to use a large card with all your images taking during the year, or use several small cards, with just enough space for one shoot. The small cards are more convenient when importing and usually faster, but the large cards are more convenient when taking pictures and are a nice additional yearly backup.
Thanks.

51 Videos (each videos average of 3 minutes long)

ITunes taking extremely long time to import songs via various downloads...

I'm a DJ so I download music from a various amount of sources. When I try to drag and drop them into iTunes, I usually get the pinwheel of death for a while and sometimes the song shows up, other times the program just doesn't respond. I've tried clearing all my cache files (I think most of them) to speed up the process but to no avail. I have my iTunes folder on my 1TB LaCie Rugged external with a little less than half free space and my hard drive itself has plenty of room. I'm not running more than iTunes and Safari and this is still taking WAY too long. I have to load albums one song at a time and it still takes about 5-15 min per song. Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Does this happen also with other CD rippers, like Windows Media Player, Real Player, CDEX etc etc...
Maybe you have enabled 'Use error correction when reading CD's' That can slow things down quite a bit.
Also see if you have set your audio encoding to import as VBR. This can also slow things down.

Hi Linc,
No joy.
I also just upgraded both to Yosemite and am still getting the same issue.
I user the same username for both macs and when I click on one from the other in the shared section the windows states "connecting" for over a minute before it connects.

"Notify after old backups are deleted. Be notified if your backup disk is full and Time Machine deletes old backups to create space for new ones." I would prefer to be notified BEFORE things are deleted. Can the deleted items be recovered?

Time Machine option #2:
"Notify after old backups are deleted" Wouldn't it be better to get this notification BEFORE things are deleted? I suppose the real question is, is it possible to recover files deleted from time machine?
The bold phrase above has a checkbox. But if I leave it blank it appears that I will receive no notification at all.
I am using MacBook Pro, OS X version 10.9.5

TIme Machine is not an archival tool. And no, you won't be able to recover the files that are deleted.

Importing Assets from ALER to export to OER is taking so long time

Guys,
I am importing Service Bus Projects from ALSB ant trying to export it to Oracle Enterprise Repository 11g. But when I try to export the configuration jar to Oracle Enterprise Repository using the Harvester tool it is taking so long time.
I have more than 1500 WSDL and XSD (with some circular reference), it is running for 48 hours without finish it.
What can I do to Harvester and Oracle ER be faster ?
Do we have some configuration to turn off validation or something like this ?
Thanks in advanced.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Itunes library or iTunes store.

My external library 100 GB on a 2TB drive is taking a long time to open.

Hey there,
I recently moved my library to an external drive. When I tried to load the external drive, it said it needed to repair and I let it happen overnight because it was taking a long time.
Now it seems to just freeze when I try to load the external library. Can someone let me know if there is something I can do to make this process speed up? Should I move some of my projects to another library and keep it off-line?
Thanks,
Austin

Could it possibly be due to videos stored in the aperture library? I think one of the folders has multiple GB of video... Just a thought.
If Aperture is freezing on opening, this can be caused by corrupted or incompatible media, but it would not explain the original error message your reported - "permissions".
When the repair finishes, try to launch Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If media cannot beprocessed, Aperture will hang, when it tries to generate the previews for those images or videos. If you can get Aperture to launch after deferring the preview generation, you could open the Activity window (Window > Show Activity) and then selectively try to generate previews for your last imported images and videos (Photos > update preview). The Activity window will show, what is currently processed, and perhaps you can spot, which of the files is causing the hang.

Time machine taking a LONG time

I have a IMac with OS Mountain Lion, and I backup automatically through Time Machine to a My Book. Ever since I updated the OS the backups are taking a long time. The initial backup after updating the OS took 3 1/2 days. It did finally end and then they seemed to be taking the "normal" amount of time, minutes versus hours or days. The last backup has been running since last Thursday night, and today is Tuesday. It is showing "backing up 3.21GB of 3.53 GB". I have been writing down where it is at before going to bed and last night it was 3.20 GB of 3.53 GB. At 1 GB per day I have about 22 days left. That seems a bit strange. This last backup had been taking a long time and I've stopped it once and restarted.    Is this a current issue with the latest OS? Any suggestions?

Ok, I was trying to check something else and accidentally stopped the backup that had been running from last Thursday.   I restarted my computer and began another backup. It is running now and here are the messages from the "console" from when I began the back up. It is still running. It started at 213.1 mb of 1.68 gb and has gone up to 11.91 gb of 13.10 gb.

DIAdem taking a long time to load 700MB TDMS file to data portal

I'm trying to load a 700MB TDMS file into DIAdem ,4 channels 10Hz sampling rate over 4 days . When i drag the file into the data portal , diadem freezes up , its on a 2GB machine, file located on the desktop, not running any other programs and it went 50min without being able to load before i made it quit. seems to work fine on smaller files though . Was wondering if this sounds normal and if anyone knows a way around it.
yin
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for all your input.
YongqinYe and Brad : I've tried defragmenting but this also seems to be taking a long time (in excess of ) on 2 different machines. The index file is 300MB, so about 75% of the *.tdms,
Otmar: i also tried registry loading the data but this still took a long time on this particular file although it worked great on smaller files (5MB).
Brad : the file does not open in the labVIEW TDMS viewer although i'm able to view it in chunks of 65000 using the TDMS importer for excel.
Stefan: the file does have explicit time stamp channel .
Any extra help would be appreciated but the way I'm thinking of doing it now is to use much longer buffer size (from only 6 to a few hundred) when collecting the data to decrease the level of fragmentation.

Taking too long time to get LOV

HI,
I have created a customer folder in which the query retuns 0.5 million records.
I have created a item class in airline_name column which is being used in the worksheet as parameter.
The problem is it is taking too long time near about 2 min to get LOV when the user wants to search the exact name.
Thanks,
Himanshu Tiwari

Hi,
Usually, you should not use the folder that the report is based on to define the LOV. You should use a separate folder to define the LOV that is optimised to return the content of the LOV.

Discoverer reports taking a long time!!!

Hi all,
One of our clients is complaining that the discoverer reports are taking a long time to run for the last few days, the report used to take 30 minutes before but now is running for hours!!
I have checked the SGA and I have killed the idle sessions but still there was no improvement in the performance.
The version of BI discoverer is 10 and database also is 10g and the platform is win server 2003.
I have checked the forums and they talk about explain plan and tkprof and other commands, but my problem is that i am unable to find the query that discoverer is running i mean once the report is clicked the query runs and gives the estimate time it would take. can some one tell me where this query is stored so that i can check this query,
Also there were no changes made in the query or to the database.
The temp space fills up 100%, i increased the size of temp space but still it goes to 100% also i noticed that the CPU utilisation goes to 100%

Hi,
The fact that the report used to work fast and now not can be related to many things but my guess is that the database statistics were changed and so the explain plan has changed.
This can be done due to change in the volume of the data that crossed a level were oracle optimizer change the behavior but it can be other things as well.
Anyway it is not relevant since it will be easier to tune the SQL than to find what have changed.
In order to find whether the problem is with the discoverer or in the SQL extract the SQL as described above and run it in SQL tool (SQL Plus, TOAD, SQL Developer and so on).
The best way to get to the problem is run a trace on your session and then use the TKPROF command to translate it to a text file you can analyze - you can assist your DBA team they should have no problem doing that.
By doing that you will get the problematic statements/ functions/ procedures that the report uses.
From there you can start working on improving the performance.
Performance is expertise for itself so i'm sorry i don't know to tell you where to start from, I guess the start will be from understanding the meaning of the explain plan.
Hope I helped a little although I wish Ii had a magic answer for you
BTW, until you resolve that problem you can use the discoverer scheduler to run the reports in the background and so the users will get the data.

Time Machine Taking a Long Time to Index / Back Up

Hi everyone.
I noticed this on the latest backup to my Time Capsule device. I'm backing up over a WiFi connection to a time capsule device. It is taking a long time to index the backup. Here's the code from the latest backup.

I am just curious as to why this is, and what I might do to fix it. I did see one suggestion in another website suggesting diabling spolight indexing of the backup image with sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Time Machine Backups, but don't know where to type that in. It then states to reenable it, but don't know where to type that in, either. Any advice would be helpful. I did run a verification not too long ago, and here's that code.
10/14/12 3:44:14.289 PM com.apple.backupd: Backup verification requested by user.
10/14/12 3:44:41.503 PM com.apple.backupd: Running backup verification
10/14/12 4:04:31.602 PM com.apple.backupd: Backup verification passed!
If any of you have or had a similar problem, I'd appreciate your help. For the time being, I may just disable time machine during the evening, and only have it run during the day when I'm at work.

Is your sig still current (10.7.3)? Or did you update to 10.7.5? Because 10.7.5 had a Spotlight/Time Machine bug that slowed down a lot of backups. If that's what it is, there's now a 10.7.5 Supplemental Update that fixes the slow Time Machine problem.
If it isn't 10.7.5, I don't know what the problem might be.

Report script taking very long time to export in ASO

Hi All,
My report script is taking very long time to execute and finally a message appears as timed out.
I'm working on ASO Cubes and there are 14 dimensions for which i need to export all data for all the dimensions for only one version.
The data is very huge and the member count in each dimension is also huge, so which is making me difficult to export the data.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Here is a link that addresses several ways to optimize your report script. I utilize report scripts for Level 0 exports in an ASO environment as well, however the majority of our dimemsions are attribute dimensions.
These are the most effective solutions we have implemented to improve our exports via report scripts:
1. Make sure your report script is written in the order of how the Report Extractor retrieves data.
2. Supressing Zero and Missing Data
3. We use the LINK command within reports for some dimensions that are really big and pull at Level 0
4. Using Symmetric reports.
5. Breakout the exports in multiple reports.
However, you may also consider some additional solutions outlined in this link:
1. The MDX optimizing commands
2. Back end system settings

I hope this helps. Maybe posting your report script would also help users to provide feedback.
Thanks
