Installing OS X on a new hard drive taking way too long?

I switched out my old 250 GB hard drive that shipped with my MacBook Pro for a new 640 GB WesternDigit drive. I'm trying to use a Mavericks installer USB to install on my newly formatted hard drive, but it's taking way too long - I mean, I left it going overnight (about 7.5 hours), and when I came down, it wasn't even half done. Is there anything I can do here? I'd like to use my laptop. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Do you have a internet connection? Even with a USB installer that if good and functioning properly you need an internet connection to Authenticate the install with your Apple ID.
If your old drive is still functioning you can connect it to your Mac with a SATA to USB adapter and use the Recovery HD on that original drive to reinstall Mavericks on the new drive.
If the drive is no longer functioning and you have no way of getting to the Apple internet download for Mavericks then you will need to start with an install of the original version of OS X that came on your Mac when new then update and or upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then use the Mac App Store to reinstall Mavericks. There is not other way to do this. So save yourself some time and trouble and start fresh.
If your original drive is still functioning and it had Mavericks installed on it you can also CLONE that drive to the new one once you connect it to your mac with some type of SATA to USB adapter or enclosure.
If the Mavericks USB installer you have was made from a Mac that came with Mavericks pre-installed on it that will not work on your Mac.

It's taking way too long for my messages to load.

Starting on Tuesday this week (10/14) it is taking way too long for my messages to load from my Gmail account. Once the message finally shows up in the Inbox, it's taking up to 10-15 min for the message to load where I can actually view the message. I'm going to have to move to another email application if this can't be resolved which is very unfortunate as I've enjoyed using Thunderbird up until now.

I guess I'm at least happy to know it's not just me. I've had to abandon Thunderbird for now. I guess I'll keep an eye out for future updates.

Query taking way too long

Hello,
Can somebody please help.
I am wanting to change this query so that it does not take too long. How can I do it please?
select count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
from tel_nos t, account a
where t.tel_type = 'S'
AND t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN t.start_date AND NVL(t.end_date, SYSDATE)
group by t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
having count(*) > 1
Thanks in advance.

Tuning is a science not a parlour guessing game. It's hard for us to diagnose the problem you have here as you have given us almost no information. For instance, are you using rule based or cost based optimizer? How big are these two tables? What indexes do they have? What percentage of rows are you expecting the query to return?
Tuning is such a big area that it's hard to know where to begin. I suggest you start at the Oracle docs. Chapters 1, 4 and 5 will set you going.

Having said all that you may well find this runs faster:
SELECT count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
FROM   account a, tel_nos t
WHERE t.tel_type = 'S'
AND    sysdate BETWEEN t.start_date AND nvl(t.end_date, sysdate)
AND    t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
GROUP BY t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
HAVING count(*) > 1
/I leave it to you to work out why (it's nothing to do with clearer layout).
Cheers, APC

Taking way too long to iPhone for iOS 5

OSX installation (and reloading images) taking way too long

Hi everyone.
I've noticed a problem lately: installing OSX (either my original Tiger DVD or my new Leopard DVD) is taking way longer than it should. The same thing also happens when I try to revert back to an older disk image.
I tried installing Leopard yesterday and it said it was going to take 5 hours. Initially I thought it was because the disk I was using was partitioned, so today I have wiped the disk completely, restored it to one partition, and disconnected all my external drives and all but the primary internal ones. That seems to have dropped the install time to 3 hours.
The first thing I did yesterday was try to restore an older image of my Tiger installation. That one was about 60GB in size and, even after 8 hours, the installation had not predicted an actual remaining install time, but from the progress bar, it looked like it would be at least 2 days.
Why in the world would this be happening and has anyone run into it before? All the system checks I ran the other day seemed to indicate things were fine. So am I missing something?
Thanks.

Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the HDs.
Run DU and repair the HDs if needed.
It's also possible that your optical drive is dying and/or your Tiger CD and Leopard DVDs are dirty or scratched.
A typical Leopard install takes under 1 hour. Anything over 2 indicates some major issues.

Slideshow Taking WAY too long to load

I have a slideshow posted at
http://olyrents.com/slideshow.htm
My client is saying it takes too long to load, and I am
finding that it is loading all of the photos first before you can
scroll through and view them. It's just not functioning properly.
I wonder if someone could look at the actionscript and give
me any suggestions? Maybe there's something else going on?
I have attached the script from the original fla file.
Thanks!

That adds up to somewhere in the realm of 5MB, which isn't
going to be a quick load time, though it might be visually workable
if you separate the loading from the viewing.
One thing you might consider is doing away with the preloader
visual. With 65 images being interupted by 65 preloader screens, it
kinda defeats the potential aethetics of the images and may lead
one to think it's taking a long time to load them as a result.

Godfather II downloading taking WAY too long!

Is this normal for those who have downloaded it? I haven't gotten any error messages or anything like that. Its going .1 MB slowly. Please help!

I was having this issue... last movie I bought was Hancock and the estimated download time was 4 hours... (it stayed at 4 hours for 40 minutes)
So I called our phone company to verify I still had the highest speed available.
They told me since we run off of one line for our DTV as well as internet... I had to unplug the DTV or shut it off and my download speed would get back to where it should be.
I just watched the estimated time go from 4 hours to 30 minutes by doing this.
So I can't watch TV if I am downloading a movie LOL

Login is taking WAY too long.

I just recently got a laptop from school. It takes like 10 seconds to get to the login screen, but when I try to login it takes around 5-6 minutes for the login screen to go away, another 2-3 minutes for the dock to show up, and around 30 seconds after that for the desktop to show the drives and menu bar. This is a brand new computer.. anyone know what's up? I tried the CommandOption+PR thing and it's not even restarting. Please help.

I have done some more research (Google: slow active directory os x leopard) on this problem, and found that there are reports of the slow login being caused by a clash between Bonjour and Active Directory.
Thus you might be able to simply turn off Bonjour.

http://www.macwindows.com/leopard.html#111607z (The problem & first report of a solution)
http://www.macwindows.com/leopard.html#022508a (Verification for a number of users)
To turn off Bonjour:
1) Open Terminal
2) To disable Bonjour enter
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
If this works, you don't need to disable Active Directory. Of course, Bonjour is handy on a local network, but you probably don't need it at home.
To enable Bonjour again:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
If disabling Bonjour does not work, your choices (as far as I know) are to delete the AD entry, or to create a new user account that is not attached to AD. However, I am not an expert on AD for the Mac, so I could be wrong.

Last night I was installing the iOS 6 update on my ipod. I noticed it was taking way too long so I hit the home button and the ON/OFF button in ordered to restart it. After it restarted, the screen went blank and has been like that since.

Someone please help me!

Plug it into iTunes and hold the power and home buttons down for about 10 seconds, then release the power button but continue to hold the home button. That should put it in DFU mode. iTunes should recognize that and ask if you want to restore.

Single user mode: Argument List is too long, PLEASE HELP

Hey guys,
I recently posted a topic asking if any1 knew how to delete all png files on the desktop,
Nt many people replied,
But anyway, I did some research and now I know how to do it,
but in single user mode (cmd + S),
When I typed in rm *.png
While I ws on the desktop in single user mode,
It came up saying Argument list too long,
Does any1 know how to fix this,
Plz reply ASAP,
& if possible addme on Skype mark.davidson19, it wld b extremely helpful

If there are too many files expanded via the *.png wildcard, then the argument list length maximum can be exceeded. The last time I checked, Mac OS X had a 256K line length limitation. (AIX was 1M, Linux 128K, Solaris 1M, Windows 8K (Cygwin env) - your mileage may vary with each operating system release).
If you have too many files to expand on the command line, then you can delete them in batches. There are several ways to do this
cd ~/Desktop
rm [a-m]*.png
rm [n-z]*.png
rm [A-M]*.png
rm [N-Z]*.png
Or finer increments.
You could use something like
find ~/Desktop '*.png' -print0 -depth 1 | xargs -0 rm
And you can also use
find ~/Desktop '*.png' -depth 1 -delete
This being a Unix environment, there are most likely a dozen additional ways to delete all the .png files and avoid command line length limits.
As MrHoffman says, using rm and wildcards is a very dangerous thing to do unless you really REALLY know what you are doing. If not, I strongly suggest having a recent full backup handy. I actually suggest a backup regardless of how good you are in the Unix environment (I have multiple via different backup utilities preformed on a very regular basis; years of experience has taught me you cannot be too careful with your data - it is worth far more than the cost of backup equipment).

BUNDLE_EXECUTE TAKING WAY TOO LONG TIME. PLEASE HELP

Hi Experts,
Please see that after we ugrade our SEM 4 to SEM 6 along with BW 3.5 to BI 7, I am performing Post Upgrade Testing in Sandbox.
In this process when I tried executing a Global Planning Sequence in Back Ground by Right Clicking the GPS I wish to run and selected Execute PS in Background Option.
But when I am looking at it's status in Job overview, it is running for ever. I still wonder that how come it is taking so long time and I have no clue.
The same GPS when I tried executing the ssame way in DEV and QA servers where the Upgrade is still not happened it is not taking more than 80 Seconds.
So Kindly guide me through this issue. Highly appreciate your valuble inputs.
Thanks and Regards,
BIP

Hi ,
We are facing the same issue in our new parallel systems (SEM 3.2 to SEM 6 along with BW 3.1 to BI 7). Please let us know how you solved the issue.
Our Planning Sequence has just one copy function.
The same GPS when I tried executing in old systems in SEM 3.2 and BW 3.1, it is working fine.
Any solution?
Thanks,
H

Uploading a file to server taking way too long

When I upload a modified file to the server by selecting it in Local Files selecting Synchronize Dreamweaver reports as it goes through all kinds of directories on my server that do not contain this file. Why can't Dreamweaver just write the file to the directory it should know it's in?
I'm running Dreamweaver CS4.
Thanks.
Steve

I'm surprised nobody has answered this. Just hit "Put" instead of synchronize. Synchonize looks at every single file in your site and makes the server match what's on your computer. So, synchronize forces DW to check every single file in your site folder. If you just "put" the file, it only uploads the file/files you have selected. Synchronize is a good feature to have, but you shouldn't use it every time you need to upload one file.

Your TV program may be huge ... like a gigabyte or so. That could take a very long time to download, depending on your WiFi connection speed and quality.
