Time machine open preferences takes long time

I use Time Machine manually to backup my digital audio workstation.  I select Open Time Machine Preferences from the Menu Bar, then Back Up Now so I can watch the progress.  Most of the time, the first step above is instantaneous, but every once in a while, it takes over a minute for the preference window to appear.  What is going on, and how can I fix this?

  • Web report for opening it takes long time how to reduce the time?

    HI Experts,
    I created report using webi. For next time while opening it takes more time. How to reduce the time.

    Hi Manikandan,
    There could be multiple reason behind the bad performance.
    1. Are you using supported JVM version to run Webi reports?
    2. Do the reports contain prompts? Are the LOVs set to "Automatic refresh before use"? If yes, uncheck it.
    3. How many queries do the report has? Can you run the queries one by one and check which query is taking much time?
    4. If it based on relational database, copy and run it against the database directly and check how much time it takes. If more, you may have to fix the issue at database level like using temporary tables, indices, etc.
    5. Also check if there are firewalls or proxy server between client and server communication. if yes, try to refresh the report directly on BO server and check.
    6. Check if there is any hinderance between BO server and Database server communcation.
    Hope it will help.

  • One Form 10g takes long time to open

    We have created one form using Object Library and all objects are inherited.
    It takes long time to open as compared to other forms which are inherited from Object Library.
    Anybody having any idea. It would be great if somebody can provide some help

    This form contains 3 tabs and one tab is completely inherited from Object Library (the whole block, items etc). I have tried to remove this inherited tab then it works better. So i think its definitely something to do with object library.
    Thanks alot.

  • My mac shutdown suddenly fr0m time to other and take long time to open

    hi everybody,
    I think i have big problem ,i have macbookpro I5 13" early 2011  , i just changed the board to I7 ( used  board got it from net ) after USB ports in my original logicboard are damaged due to drop  , after changing the board the mac is unstable, it take long time(half hour!) to show up anything after press power,  yes I press power and there are no response  from the mac (black monitor as its ) , just   i hear  a noise from the empty CD drive . once it open it work fine for a while (may 2 hours or more ) and then shutdown suddenly! and you have wait more than half hour to open it again if im lucky.
    Itried to rest the mac many times, replace the RAM places , i thought may the problem come from overheating the CPU, i monitored the CPU tempreture just before the suddenly shutdown was 57C
    please help ,any suggetions ?

    Run an Apple hardware Test:

    You may have to use OPTION D to start it.
    See what that picks up.

  • When I need to open a folder on the desktop takes long time to open, so it is with the hard drive?, I'm using Maverick

    The system boots without any problem, applications without a problem when I'm on the desktop and I need to open folders taking forever to open and for a moment I open and blocks other thing that the colored circle appears, use ten folders on the desktop where I'm keeping this information and take process and lock the desktop makes my job a little slow, and does anyone know anything about all of this as repairing system error?

    Have then select one of the photos and type Command+i. In the Info window that comes up check to see which application is set as the default application. If it's iPhoto therein lies the problem. Regardless of what is set for the default select Preview and click on the Apply to All... button. See if that will fix the problem.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • 4" x 6" videos take longer to open than a 3" x 5" vid? Load time affected?

    I think I know the answer to my question but I want to make sure before I go and change the sizes of all my little mini videos:
    Does the speed at which a video opens depend (among other things) on the DIMENSIONS OF THE VIEWING BOX? So that a 3“ x 5” picture takes longer to open than, say, a 4“ X 6” picture?
    Is the difference a noticeable one? If a larger picture means waiting only two more seconds for the video to open and show, then that seems an Ok payoff to me. But if the wait becomes considerably longer, than it probably is not Ok to the visitor.
    Thank you.

    Winston C... I mean at the point where a visitor to my website has already opened the Big Album Index page and clicks onto one of my mini videos, like the Dominatrix Rise Up vid. If I were to make smaller the box in which you see the Dominatrix speaking, would that page open up faster? If yes, then is it substantially faster? Or am I ok just leaving the dimensions of the box alone?

  • SSRS 2012. ReportServer takes long time to be up.

    SSRS 2012 Sp1
    Hi guys,
    I am using SSRS as my reporting platform, but I have always got the following issue.
    SSRS ReportServer takes time to load.
    The first time takes long, then less time but only if the ReprotServer web page is continuosly retrived.
    HERE the problem:
    If the ReprotServer page is not used after a short time (let me say 10 min), the page takes long time to be up again.
    I have checked the configuration that is set as for default 12 hours.
    Is there a way to speed up the ReportServer opening page time?
    Thanks for your help 

    Hi Fasttrack2,
    According to your description, you want to optimize the performance of your report. Right?
    In this scenario, when your report page is not active for a short time, it will take long time to render again. This is because the you have the report timeout. You can select "Do not timeout report" in Processing. Please refer to the link below:
    SQL Server Reporting Services – Timeout Settings
    For the performance issue, it can be many reason cause the report running slowly. Please refer to the articles below to optimize the report:
    More tips to improve performance of SSRS reports.

    Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou

    Is there any parameter to make the import faster still in 10g
    Please adviceAdvice: OPen the fine Utilities reference manual found at tahiti.oracle.com, and check the section on DataPump. THere you will find listed and explained all of the available parameters. I'm sure you will find some of them promising for performance improvement.
    The reason the import takes longer than the export is because of all the internal houskeeping going on in relation to every INSERT that is processed. The export is simply reading the db, then writing to a flat file.

    i wrote the proxcedure but it takes long time to execute.Please define "long time". How long does it take? What are you expecting it to take?
    The INterdata table contains 300 records.But how many records are there in the FILTER table? As this is the one you are driving off this is going to determine the length of time it takes to complete. Also, this solution inserts every row in the INTERDATA table for each row in the FILTER table - in other words, if the FILTER table has twenty rows to start with you are going to end up with 6000 rows in FILTERDETAIL. No wonder it takes a long time. Is that want you want?
    Also of course, you are using PL/SQL cursors when you ought to be using set operations. Did you try the solution I posted in Re: Confusion in this  scenario>>>>>>> on this topic?

  • NAC Agent takes long time to run

    Cisco NAC agent takes long time to popup or run on Windows 7 machine.
    The client machine is windows 7, running nac agent 4.9.0.42, against ISE 1.1.1
    Any ideas how to reduce NAC Agent timing?

    Hi Tariq,
    I'm facing the same issue with ISE 1.1.1 (268) with Agent 4.9.0.47 for Windows XP clients. I have already configured "yes" to disabled the l3 swiss delay and reduced the httpa discovery timer from 30 to 05 sec but still clients get aprox 2.30 minutes to popup and finished the posture discovery.
    Can you please advise if this is the minimum time or what is the minimum time and what are the parameters to set to a minimum time to complete agent popup and posture discovery..?
    Is there any option that we can run this on backgroup..?
    thanks in advance..

  • Why it takes long time to download and udates for iphone4

    why it takes long time to download and updates for iphone4 ?

    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Why do you need this if you are going to Oracle. Try
    removing this. It might be trying things out with the
    old driver and then moving to the new driver. This has nothing to do with it. (And it doesn't "try things out")

    Also check your machines. They might be slow. There is
    no reason, it should take more than few hundred
    milliseconds to connect to a database on localhost as
    your case is.Possible reasons...
    - Network traffic
    - Faulty router/gateway
    - Busy server
    - Faulty network card (either end)
    - Conflict with another box
