Update 3.1.3 Vault backup takes an inordinate amount of time...
Installed the update, 3.1.3. Now clicking Vault icon to update the Vault, the update takes an inordinate amount of time. In addition after the update the Vault icon, lower left, remains red.
Normal Vault update goes to the server, prior to the update it ran quite fast then icon turned black. As a test I created a new Vault on my Desktop (deleted the original), again update takes an inordinate amount of time, still the Vault icon is red.
MacBook Pro, 8 GB RAM, 10.6.8, 2.4 GHz i5.
Hi shutterp33d,
That speed answer is a yes and no. To the local drive yes speed is almost where it was prior to the 3.1.3 update. Over to the network drive it is quite slow. Even direct connected to an external vault update is much slower than before the 3.1.3 update.
My network is AirPort Extreme to which I have a Pogoplug connected with RJ45, a Seagate 1.5 TB external drive is connected to the Pogoplug via USB 2.0.
At present Aperture vault update has been running forty-five minutes being one third through. So, shutdown the Pogoplug did a direct cable connect to the Seagate from the laptop still vault update is taking a longer time than before the update.
This time the icon has changed from red to black. Then I disconnected the USB cable direct connect, reconnected the external to the the Pogoplug. Maybe this is a Pogoplug hit maybe not.
Thank you for listening.

Why is the “Empty Trash” option missing? All I have is “Secure Empty Trash” which takes a considerable amount of time.

Backup take hours, bug coming long time after 2.0.1
The backup was a bit long with 2.0 on my new 3G. But it was ok. 2.0.1 solved this and was really better.
I had to reinstall my mac, with a time machine full restore. It was successful, but now, it take almost 1 hour to backup my phone, and that, each time !
I know I can stop the backup process but hey, I want it working as before !Yes, 2.0.1 also updates the modem firmware to 01.48.02. Luckily for me it actually improved my 3G/Edge receptions. At first though, Edge reception actually got worse. The next day it went back to full strength (better than before the update). Leads me to believe it was on the AT&T side... maybe new or updated protocol/negotiation settings that needed updating after the new modem firmware.
Try turning your phone off for the night and see what happens in the morning. Network updates are done automatically when a phone is reset like that. -
Large backup takes more than 1 hour - time machine kicks in again!
I have just watched my Time Machine backup while it's been going.
It was a large backup and took over 1 hour. However, as time machine backups up "every hour" - the original backup was still going when it then stopped, and started the new backup (as the original backup had been going for 1 hour already).
The original backup had over 1GB left - yet the new backup only backed up 14MB.
And, there is no way of telling what happened or what was or was not backed up.
Anyone got any suggestions?

It probably finished ok. The amount to be backed-up is an estimate, usually pretty close, but sometimes not.

Yes, there are.
See #A1 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for a handy widget that will display the backup messages from your logs.
See #A2 there for a couple of apps that will show exactly what was backed-up each time. -
iTunes 11 is junk and when I updated to it, it now takes at least 25 minutes for itunes to recognize my iphone or ipad. This is so frustratinig when I want to quickly sync new music, videos, etc...
I have tried everything under the sun to fix the problem including resoring software and even trying to downgrade to iTunes 10.
Is anyone else experiencing these same issues? if so were you able to find a fix?
Your help is appreciated.No one else is seeing this. Time to troubleshoot your computer - nothing to do with iTunes itself unless it was incorrectly installed. Not the phone either.

Estimating Size of backup Items taking considerable amount of time?
The part of the Azure Online Backup that does the "estimating size of back items" is taking hours to complete. Is there anyway to speed it up? I want to be backing up files right away, not have to wait for an estimate of size.
Hi,
the message might be little misleading but as part of estimating size of the backup items, we enumerate what all files and directories need to be backed up based on whether they changed from last backup and then start backing them up. if you have huge amount
of files and directories say like a build server then its likely you will be seeing this. We already have a feature request to improve this for such kind of workloads.
Thanks

Connection to database takes a considerable amount of time
Hi,
This is basically an IDS 10g thing. Same issue in Reports
1. Whenever I connect to Oracle 10g by pressing CTRL J, it takes like 4-5 mins to connect to Oracle. This only happens once till I close down Forms 10g and reopen it.
2. A related thing, I cannot FILE-OPEN any .fmb file till I first connect to database, or else I just get one of those windows errors (not responding) and the form builder crashes.
Environment:
1. Windows 7 x64 and x86
2. Windows 8 x64
3. Connecting to Oracle 10g.
i7 processor 8gb ram, plenty of hard drive space.
Why does this happen, how do I fix it?

[IE11] Expanding a group of items in a list takes an absurd amount of time
I'm currently dealing with a large sized list (<10,000 items) that is grouped by date, then subgrouped by a department name. A user had called in reporting that their browser (Internet Explorer 11) would become non-responsive whenever a group is expanded
- it may sit there for ~15 seconds, then eventually open the list. I can confirm this behavior on my own computer, same browser. An older (slower) computer did not exhibit this behavior, and it seems only recently that our computers have started doing this.
The odd thing is that when I use Mozilla Firefox, the list expanding works fine.
The above profiling session seems to show an EnsureSelectionHandlerDeferred JS function is tying things up... but why?If your environment is OOB then, it won't default to IE8. In scenario where we have deployed some solution in the farm for some custom features, Developers generally put this string inside the code so all the images and other thing would load as expected
and browser compatibility won't be the issue. But, in real world there are some other features which gets broken by using this.
So, i would recommend you to check if there is any custom solution, custom master page or custom page inside your environment? If there is then please check if below mentioned string is not mentioned.

Stopping a Vault backup before its done??
Anyone had to stop a vault backup before it is completed? External HD had to be disconnected.
On reconnect will it pick up where it left off or do I need to start the whole process over again?
I am creating a new vault on a new external for the first time. It is some 80GB and takes some time to create. Not sure if I just waste an hour and half or it will pick up where it left off?From what I remember (not tried this in a long time), it will pause the update at the point it got to, and carry on from there next time you update. If you click 'Cancel' you should get a dialog box asking if you want to cancel and telling you exactly what will happen if you do.

**Tech explanation why BACKUPS take long, how to make it very short, etc*
I noticed my backups to increase quite a bit over the last few days. I also noticed so many posts on why are backups taking so long, what can I do (only solution given is to click x or modify so that backups are not done, etc). Well to answer all those that want the "real" answer, I decided to do a few minutes of research and share what I've learned. I have seen nothing at all on google or anywhere else about the recommendations I'm suggesting, but from my experience I think it will answer 99% of all the backup threads on this site.
All your backups are being stored in:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(Your Name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Vista: C:\Users\*Your User*\Appdata\Local\Apple Computer\
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
The main directories are GUIDs that are based on the version of the iphone, so you may see more than one folder. Make sure to view the date last modified of the folder to make sure you go into the latest one. Order the files inside this directory by date modified. Here you can see how many files are being updated ON EVERY BACKUP. The older ones are not being backed up anymore because you probably uninstalled that app on the iphone (apple doesn't delete old unnecessary backup files that won't be ever used - bad programming #1). They are encoding all these files and inside the files in base 64, so you can decrypt them to view the contents, but you don't really need to and I don't have to show how for the solution to this. Open a file in wordpad. Within the first few lines you'll get an idea of what the backup is.
So here is the solution....sort these files by date modified. My biggest single file was 29,582KB!! looked inside and it's the WeDict app. There are other files from WeDict, but obviously for me if I want fast backups I need to get rid of this app. A few other top files I found are awesome apps on the iphone that have awesome trailers, intro movies for games, etc. Well guess what, they backup every single game intro, trailer, etc. So for instance, the game tap tap tap has a few m4a songs....well every one of those m4a songs are encrypted and backed up EVERY TIME (apple backups up files that don't need to be backed up which would probably reduce backup times by at least 98% - for instance, intro movies don't need to be backed up, nor app songs, nor game instructions, etc because that information should be on itunes backed up separately when you install an app, not when you do backups and it should be smart enough to update that folder when a new version is out....and only do backups on files that can change like high scores in apps, notes, etc - bad programming #2).
So anyway, you can see which apps are taking the most amount of time. Obviously if you remove every app on your iphone, it will backup fast, but some of these apps are shockingly huge. Problem here is that you can have 1 file or 100 files associated with 1 app. You could have only 2 apps installed on your iphone and your backups could be slower than a person having 30 apps just because some apps take a ridiculous amount of more backup data and time and what makes this even worse is every part of the data is encrypted, which I will talk about below (which doesn't need to be). Only time that file is not going to get updated is if it's deleted from your iphone.
You don't HAVE to use base 64 encryption. Come on now, especially on apps? They could lighten the encryption and it would be much faster backups because it has to decode and encode every file now. You are overencrypting these files so huge programs take forever backups. (Bad apple programming #3 don't over encrypt when speed is a necessity on something that doesn't need extreme high security).
As a developer with a computer engineering degree, to also make it even faster than what users were experiencing with backup times prior 2.0. They are obviously not tagging each portion that needs to be backed up individually. Lots of software companies do this to speed stuff up. For instance if you have Kaspersky antivirus with the defaults, the first scan will always take long, but every scan afterwords will be fast because instead of rescanning that file for a virus, it just checks to see if the checksum has changed and if so rescan that file, so most of the time the scan will happen fast unless there has been a period of time that you haven't done one that updates the checksums. They could do something very similar with this. So basically even if you changed a few things on your phone, the backup should be only a few seconds because only those few changes would be signaled to be rebacked up. (bad apple programming for backups #4). This process can make backups be from 98% faster to 99.98% faster....meaning having a backup only take 4 seconds even with 100 apps installed. Actually coding this one thing would make it extremely fast, but would take the most programming time. You can even make an algorithem where for the whole backup process it would just have to read one file that it would check checksums and then tell it to modify 1 or 2 other files and that's it as opposed to backing up (for me almost 5,000 files) some being several MB in size.
So all the above should give apple suggestions on how the can speedup backups by 99.98% faster than how they are doing it now and then anwers all those questions why it takes longer, what needs to change, how can I shorten my backups (this way you can find out what apps are taking the most time), etc.
The problem here is apps will continue to grow, become larger, more trailers, movies, songs embedded inside apps, etc. This problem is only going to grow. The additional problem is that they can say they have tweaked the backup programming to make it faster, just like they did in 2.0.1, but backups seem slower because there are newer better more awesome apps out!! Well that's why it doesn't look like it's faster but it's slower! They will keep doing this as opposed to solving the root of the problem by recoding the whole backup foundation as I'm suggesting from above. Backups will forever take longer and longer and longer and longer. That is what you have to look forward to. My guess is that they are not going to fix the foundation of how backups are done anytime soon having a good idea how they are doing this one. They would have to do a massive overhaul of the whole backup code, which basically they would have to admit that all the time coding this way was a waste and they see no profit from it and we deal with it just by pressing x sometimes. We can complain all we want, but for awhile if you don't want long backups, this is the real solution. What's funny is writing this email took much more time than figuring out what apple is doing, but I think this will help many apple iphone users. Let me know what you guys think.Supposedly apple made backups slightly faster on 2.0.1, but like I said in my original posting above...it will get worse and worse because of the apps.
Just to verify and you could do this yourself. Right before you plug in to sync and it auto starts the backup process do this...go to the folder where all the files are as mentioned above, sort it by date modified. Add a refresh button on the toolbar. Then start the sync/backup, keep refreshing and you see the files getting updated. There are even temporary files apple's backup process creates that you don't see that keeps adding to a file, so even if you see one file updated, you might see it updated a few times until the whole backup for that file completes.
Here are my stats:
For me this time it took 27 minutes (earlier it took 2 minutes, but like i said with updates to apps, more apps, depending on types of apps, your computer speed, etc it will increase.
For me: In 27 minutes, it updated 1707 files with a total size of 82.8MB. There are a ton of computers that are much faster than mine that I'm sure would cut the minutes down. I have 6 pages of apps, but like I mention above, that doesn't matter because you could have one app that has 400 files with a large size. I would be interested in others posting their results, maybe in this format:
27min 1707files 82.8MB Pentium4HT Antivirus and other large programs running in background.
If you are interested you can even download program that will decrypt these files so you can view them in more detail...for mac, for instance, there is something like this: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/iPhone-Applications/Tools-Utilities/iPhone-Backup-D ecoder.shtml It allows you to backup and modify. It may help you decide what is taking your backups so long and you can decide if it's worth having that app installed versus not having a good backup. You can also pick out you sms backup file, contacts backup file, etc for those really interested in having backups of those specific files.
Hope this helps clear up things for everyone. -

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

Time Machine Problem - New Internal Hard Drive, Now Backup Takes Hours
Need some help!
Background.
Almost 4 year old 24" aluminum iMac; 4 gb ram; 500 gb hard drive; OS 10.6.8.
About 2 months after Alpple Care expired, the internal hard drive failed (New Year's Eve of all times!). Everything else working great.
Had a Mac technician I know install a new 750 gb drive for me. I cloned back from SuperDuper, and was ready to go. The SuperDuper external is 1.5 TB, partitioned - one half TM, the other half SuperDuper.
All apps, internet, mail - fine.
I hooked up my existing Time Macinne (probably not a good idea), and the next backup failed.
Did some research, and since I have plenty of archived backup anyway, decided that the best thing to do would be to erase the TM external, and start fresh.
Did that, and as expected, first backup took a couple hours.
The Problem.
Now, every incremental backup takes 4 to 5 hours, even if no data has changed.
"Indexing" lasts for 45 minues; "Backing Up" reads 600,000 plus files, which also goes on for 30 or 40 minutes (approx.), and wants to Calculate changes etc forever; then the actual backup starts out at 10 kb, and in 20 minutes is at 30 kb and then after about an hour I start getting into gbs and the blue bar progresses pretty fast after that. Then "Finishing Up" takes approximately 2 - 3 hours.
Not right. :~(
What I've Done to Toubleshoot.
First, I re-erased the TM external.
Then reset PRAM and did an SMC reset on the iMac.
Then backed up to TM again. The same problem persisted.
So next, I repeated that process (other than backing up), and I also deleted from the Root Library/Preferences com.apple.timemachine.plist, and from Home/Library/Preferences deleted com.apple.finder.plist. Then rebboted the iMac. Then I did a Disk Utility verify of the empty external - all was/is fine. Then I ran DiskWarrior on the iMac and all was fine; repaired permissions on the iMac from DiscWarrior as well. Then, I did another TM backup to the external, which took a couple hours since it was backing up to an empty drive.
Next 3 incremental backups still take 4 to 5 hours, even if nothing has changed on theiMac.
The Request.
Please if anyone can give me some easy to understand step by step options I might try to get TM working correctly again, it will be most appreciated.
If I've left out any details that might assist, please also let me know.
The problem computer is at home and I'm at work, so if any logs are needed, I can post those later today (but in that event, please tell me exactly which log to post and how to isolate it from System Profiler or Console (as there are many logs to choose from and I want to provide the proper info if someone needs to see a log to assist)).
Thanks in advance!Pondini,
Did every step in D2 (green box) - except did not reinstall Combo Updater which I did late last night.
After that, did a TM backup - started at 6:15.
All apps were off.
Sequence of events and facts:
At start, 434.03 0f 500.1 GB available on the external TM
Last backup shown - 7:58 AM; Oldest Back Up - Yesterday at 9:56 (that's the 1st backup after I reinitialized the external for the 2nd or 3rd time trying to get this thing figured out)
Upon starting and doing the backup -
Preparing 250,000 (approx.) items (too quick to get the final number) - Parenthetically, this AM it was over 600,000; probably has to do with turning off Spotlight per your D2 instructions
Next message -
Backing Up 6.96 GB
Hung at 2 kb to 90 kb for 20 minutes before progressing
Ultimately, at 1.78 GB the progress bar started moving rapidly (as it should) - so this isn't a cable connection issue - the Backup phase took 22 minutes, but from 1.78 GB to 6.96 GB took only a few seconds; I have seen this precise same sequence repeatedly the past 2 days
Next - Backing Up (the candy cane blue and white progress bar) - Preparing 140,000 items - took 12 minutes
Now shows 426.95 GB available on the external
Next - Backing Up (no count of items shown) - started at 7:05 and went until 7:45 (40 minutes)
Next - Finishing Backup (blue/white candy cane progress bar; no count of items shown) - started at 7:45 - went until sometime after 8:15 (can't give a precise time because I need to sit down and eat :~) )
Backup completed (between bites of chicken) at 8:23.
Over 2 hours - something isn't right.
Also, TM Prefs tells me that the Latest Backup was at 7:44 - odd.
Anyway - to take a step further, here's the TM Buddy widget info you might need:
Successful Backup: 02:06:32.
There is no log entry or data showing.
Just as I sent this, a new backup started, and it appears to be going through the same routine, from Preparing ....
Gotta eat.
Please post any further instructions and I'll do what I can tonight.
Thanks!
What is the problem? How do I speed this mother up?
Thanks! -
Why my computer backup takes forever?
It use to take less than an hour to back up my 27 Go, on the last backup everything went well except that time machine informe me that it had to erase the oldest backup since my unit was full. Now yesterday I started up another backup and after 5 hours there was only 7 Go backed up, I stopped it and then took upon myself to free more space on the unit before starting a new back up session. After more than 12 hours now, the backup is even slower 3.77 Go only???
Have anything like this happen to you before? What should I be looking for to correct this problem?Have you applied the 10.7.5 Supplemental Update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599? That fixes a Time Machine/Spotlight slowdown issue.

Time Machine backup takes so long
Hello
Normally my backups take about 10 minutes, but since last week they take up to 5 hours.
I have this little app "LogViewer for Time Machine" which extracts relevant information
from the log. On 7/12 I got this report:
04:28:36 - Starting manual backup
04:28:37 - Backing up to: /Volumes/MyBook/Backups.backupdb

04:36:51 - Post-back up thinning complete: 1 expired backups removed
04:36:51 - Backup completed successfully.
Everything looks normal. A few days later I got the following report:
02:01:14 - Starting manual backup
02:01:20 - Backing up to: /Volumes/MyBook/Backups.backupdb
02:01:43 - Using file event preflight for Macintosh HD

04:57:55 - Backup completed successfully.
It took three hours.
- How can 21 files have a size of 7 bytes?
- How can 791 files have a size of 2KB?
Is this OK? Or what is happening here?
Many thanks.Thank you for your answers and questions.
