  • At every startup, Mac mini desktop freezes for 10 mins before I can start any program, what should I do?

    At every startup, Mac mini desktop freezes for 10 mins before I can start any program, what should I do? The mouse cursor can move around, but the icons are not responding at all. Can't click on anything during the "freezing" period, and this "freezing" happened with every startup. Waking up from sleep mode is OK. Also the systems crashed frequently with any flash-player required pages in web browser. What's wrong??

  • External boot disc for MAc Mini

    Please forgive the naivety of this question but if some one could confirm this once and for all in simple terms I would be grateful.
    I want to have an external hardrive on which I can place OSX so that I can boot from it, rather than the Mini's built in drive, not least so that I can run the disc utility on the built in hardrive. My question is does this external hardrive have to be USB or Firewire or does it not matter? My Mini is an Intel Duo with 2GB RAM running 10.4.9.
    Thanks for any suggestions
    Matt.
    Mac Mini intel dual 2GB RAM OS10.4.9   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Presumably this GUID thing also explains why my
    current Lacie 500Gb mini hub won't let me load OSX
    onto it as it isn't GUID partitioned just HFS+
    formatted straight out of the box?
    That's exactly right, yes. Since it's not a bootable volume as far as your mini is concerned, it won't give it as an option to install MacOS on it.
    Incidentally, once GUID partitioned, you don't have to actually INSTALL MacOS if you want to use it in place of your internal drive. You can use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! to clone the internal to the external as a complete single operation, which will leave you with a bootable external that is an exact duplicate of the internal drive. After that, once the external has been tested out, you can then remove whatever you wish from the internal drive, or use it as a backup for the external.
    Either/both CCC and SuperDuper! can be downloaded from www.versiontracker.com.

  • After effects slow ram preview hold for 4 seconds before starting

    Hi I have upgraded from After effects CS5.5 to CC 2014 , and I notices that when I want to make Ram view by hitting 0 num pad key , it pauses for 3 or 4 seconds before it start caching , and it become really annoying if you want to ram preview every 1 min , I tried playing around with the Preferences /Memory/ Ram reserved for other apps , but no good .
    That was not the case in CS 5.5 , is it was starting caching as soon as I hit the 0 key .
    I am working on Mac pro workstation , quad core intel xieon 2x 3.2 Ghz Mac Os 10.7.5
    Thanks

    I am guessing that you have MP rendering turned on in the preferences. Please turn it off and test again.

  • I have two Firefox programs on my computer one for myself and one for my wife. My wifes program works fine for netflix mine will not stream videos from netflix. how can I correct this problem ?

    When I try to play a movie the program go's back to its home page

    Does she need to access the internet through her employer, or is she just trying to access her internal network at work?
    If it's the latter, split-stream VPN clients (like Cisco AnyConnect) will split traffic so that only that directed at a particlar domain gets tunneled. 
    I have an AnyConnect client at home, but I normally only activate it when I'm using it, so I've never tested it with HomeSharing.  I'm currently traveling, but when I get home tomorrow, I'll try it out and let you know if it works.  If it does, your wife can check with her employer to see if she can configure AnyConnect to work with them.

  • Boot camp win xp goes black when load video drivers + other probs

    Hello, I partitioned, loaded Win XP Pro, and XP runs fine, but when I load the Sno Leopard disc to update drivers, the screen goes black, and will not return. I can restart in OSX, but in windows, the screen is black. I cannot work on anything if I cannot see it.also, the bluetooth mouse does not work. I need to load the other imac to xp drivers, not load the video driver, and then get an updated radeon driver. (I think?) Any have the same problem and have solved it?. thanks

    You're welcome anytime.
    I'll be sure to post again if at a later point I have more problems.
    Feel free to do so, I (and a whole lot of others) will be here
    Though as a side note; Should i be looking into getting hardware fixed? I'm covered under Apple Care for about 3 more weeks. But last time i took it into my repair shop they told me they couldn't find any problems. : /
    That is indeed the problem, if they can't find anything to fix, they won't fix.
    If you can reproduce the error when in the shop (maybe disableing InputRemapper for that purpose) or if you have other problems (preferably while in OSX) it could be good to have them have a look at your Mac.
    Make an appointment with the Shop Genius and go there with some free time at hand.
    Take care

  • Mac Pro 3,1 Stuck on Grey screen for 1 min during boot

    I have a Late 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 and have started experiencing a very slow boot up.   The computer gets stuck for over a minute on the initial gray screen after the first boot chime.  Once the apple logo finally appears the boot goes normally.  Once running it seems OK.  The shut down seems normal with a  grey screen for a few seconds with the "clock" logo.
    Symptom:
    After the chime I see a blank gray screen for in excess of 1 minute, it used to last only a couple of seconds.
    Once the dark grey Apple logo appears the boot goes at normal speed
    I have a number of different hard drives with older systems and booting from each of then gives the problem - so it does not seem to be system/disc related
    Two partitions (Mavericks and ML) are on SSD's installed on a Sonnet PCIe Card and showed the same problem as the spinning hard discs.
    I tried: (following a trawl of the bb's etc)
    I repaired permissions and repaired all discs for all my boot partitions (10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9) using the appropriate Disc Utility
    Zapping the Pram - this was very strange as I had to keep the cmd alt P R held down for around a minute before the second chime occurred, the time of the grey screen stays stuck
    Resetting the SMC
    Booting in Verbose Safe Mode: Again I had to hold the Alt V down for a minute on the gray screen before the screen went black and the text appeared
    I looked on the console log but could see nothing obvious, additionally from the verbose safe mode boot the text log seems to start from when the grey screen disappears. The time stamps show the boot finishing in well under the minute I wait.
    Any suggestions you may have are very welcome.
    Regards
    Dave

    Thanks The Hatter for that information.  The blank gray screen is now lasting 3 mins before the Apple appears.  When I restarted the system log is as below.  As  you can see there is just over a three minute gap between the shut down and the boot, indicating to me that it is not something in the system software after the boot but a problem at the very start.  It does look like it could be something to do with the hardware as you suggest.  I have verified all the discs with the disc utility and they report as OK and their SMART status is also OK.  I have disconnected the external drives with no change so I will now have to do a thorough check and systematically remove the internal ones but that will have to wait for the weekend.
    I have Mavericks on the Samsung 840 Pro and ML on a Crucial SSD (Crucial_CT240M500SSD1 Media) on a PCIe card.  The Mavericks install I think was an upgrade, not a clean install done quite a while ago.  I only noticed the problem this week when I re-booted in an ML to run some software not compatible with Mavericks.  I have made a system back up as a precaution to an external disc just in case my main drive is dying!
    There are some firmware updates for both the SSD discs that I have not applied these yet but I will leave them out of the mix until I have tried simplifying my configuration with a single disc.

  • Slow boot up on mac mini

    Slow boot up on mac mini using mavericks

    Hello,
    First try this...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Then...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Need help locating a wallet case for an Xperia T2 Ultra Smartphone that has a slot on the side for the mini-usb

    I realize this board is for Xperia tablets, but I don't see a board for Xperia Smartphones.  I do hope someone here can help. I have a Sony Xperia T2 Ultra smartphone.  I love the phone, but I purchased a case for it not realizing that the case doesn't have a slot on the side for the mini-usb connector, which means that I have to charge the phone with the case open.
    I called Sony accessories, and they don't seem to make a case with a slot on the side.  They have a very nice case, but again, it doesn't have the correct opening for the charger and you have to charge the phone with the case open.
    I have also searched several websites for such a case with no luck.
    Does anyone here know where I can find a wallet-style case for the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra with a magnetic closure (or some way of securing the case closed) that will actually allow me to charge the phone while the case is closed?  Please let me know.

    This is the only "question" I could extract out of your confusing post:
    "I want to know if it even can be done in Flash or would we need to use something else like PHP or Javascript?"
    It can`t be done in Flash alone you need php.
    With the experience level you already admitted to, I strongly advise to stay away from such a project, you will save you and our customer a lot of headaches, no offense.

  • Mac OS X 10.6.8 desktop goes black 10 secs after booting, can remain apparently asleep for 15 mins. I can't prompt it to wake, until recently it would wake when peripheral were added (earphones). What is wrong, and how can this be fixed?

    Mac OS X 10.6.8 statup problem: desktop goes black 10 secs after booting, can remain apparently asleep for 15 mins. I can't prompt it to wake, until recently it would wake when peripheral were added (earphones). What is wrong, and how can this be fixed?

    You need to fresh install 10.6, programs fresh form original sources and return only vetted files (no TM migrations) from a regular storage drive
    But this when erasing the drive use the Security Option: Zero All Data before installing 10.6
    What has happened your data got corrupted and it's corrupted on the TM drive too.
    So the Zero will map off bad sectors on your drive, the 10.6 install will be fresh, the programs will be fresh and only files will be returned, you'll find out in short order which ones they are.

  • Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

    Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
    thanks

    Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • I need help! Firefox is so ungodly slow. I'm here for 30 min. trying to open gmail. I can't do a diagnosis on this...I just want to check email and research online, not spend hours staring at a nonfunctioning browser screen!

    Firefox doesn't open for 10 min. or longer
    When it does TRY to open...there are often numerous pages all trying to open. Another 15 min.
    I try to close them one by one and they duplicate even faster at times. This varies though. Sometimes they do close but very slowly.
    After 30 min. or so I sometimes just quit...I don't have time for this.

    I'm not sure if the crash is or isn't related to fonts.
    Deciphering the crash long is something I don't have any experience with.
    I'm not even sure how the crash log is structured. I've downloaded two screen captures: one from the top of the adobe Photoshop crash log and one from the bottom. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can discern what may be causing the crash?
