Uploading files takes a long time

And when I say long time, I mean a ridiculously long time. Hours at least. Sometimes I have to leave my laptop on overnight to upload one song. I know downloading fast is more important, but for music I make myself or friends make it just takes FOREVER before you can hear it on the iPod. Why is that? Is there any fix for it? It usually works, eventually, but… not till long after the shine is off a new song.

For custom made music like this, ITunes Match does not really offer you any advantage. iTunes Match will try to substitute something from the iTunes library when you do an upload. For custom made music, this is clearly impossible. So why don't you cut iTunes Match out of the process, and simply sync the music to your iPod as if you were not an iTunes Match subscriber?

Previewing files takes a long time when trying to attach them

Whenever i try to preview files while trying to attach them in mail..once the file is selected it takes a long time to preview and hence be attached. First it was a problem with finder taking ages to preview...i sorted this out..but not the mail thing. Even after running disk utility, repairing permissions, cache cleaning and removing the com.apple.mail.plist file ..It didn't work. I started seeing the same problem in adium when I was trying to select a picture from a folder to change my display pic. Fortunately it hasn't happened in word or excel.
Can anyone help with problem??

Saved files take a long time to appear on Server or Desktop

We have a network of nearly 40 macs, Panther Server, mostly panther clients but the newer machines are on 10.4.
All of the newer machines exhibit the problem in that files saved to the server or to the desktop take a long time to appear.
It appears to be a refresh issue, as on the server other clients can see the file straight away and locally the files can be seen on the desktop via the terminal.
Force quitting the finder forces the files to appear but this is not a solution.
The clients which have the problem all run 10.4 and the Server is 10.3. The 10.3 clients do not exhibit the same issues.

I have also seen this issue at one of my larger clients (50+ workstations).
The issues seems isolated to 10.4.5 or higher. Our workstations with 10.4.2 did not exhibit this problem. It is not an issue with hardware (we have seen this on an iBook G3 and various G5 tower models). Nor does it appear to be server-related: we have seen the issue saving locally with no servers mounted. We have seen the issue when saving from Adobe CS apps, MS Office apps, and from system apps (like TextEdit). Deleting com.apple.finder.plist from the user's home Library and then relaunching the Finder gets relief for a short time but the problem returns soon after. plutil reports the file is OK. The volume directory is fine, the permissions check out, and caches have been purged, to no avail.
Like you, summersault, I am able to see the saved file on the command line, and when my users Force Quit the Finder, the file appears. Other workarounds, like the Nudge contextual menu, do not work.
I have submitted the error via apple.com/feedback and would encourage you to do the same.

Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-server-help/using-hyperlinks-in-excel-services-HA010173679.aspx
If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

Takes a long time to upload a publish to folder site

i have charter.net internet service...3mb high speed internet service...
i recently built a site that is approximately 19mb...when i use either fetch or captain ftp, it takes a long time to upload (hours sometimes)...most of the time is gets hung up on the .png files...it is as it stops...i have contacted charter about the slowness...there response is we don't support mac...you don't want to know what i told them...
anyway...is there anything i may be missing or don't understand about uploading...the first few times several weeks ago, i could upload a site about half the size in about 10 minutes...charter will not admit anything on their own end...
any ideas would be nice to know...
michael

Well, the 3mb speed that you quote are the theoretical maximum DOWNLOAD speeds. Reality might be a little bit different depending on a host of factors. Anyways, UPLOAD speeds are always capped at some fraction of that just like with asynchronous DSL. But your subjective experiences are still different. As long as it is not reporting out errors and your site is actually being uploaded you should be fine.
As to why it is taking so long....I can't say. At first I was concerned that maybe Charter had a thing about filenames with spaces or a certain length or something. But you tell me, is your site being uploaded?

AP Trial Balance - File is massive and takes a long time to open up

Hello,
We are upgrading from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3 and are running into some serioud problems with the Accounts Payables Trial Balance report in Detail Mode.
1. The Report takes upwards of 10 minutes to open up - and in many cases does not.
2. On further research we see that the report output file is > 500MB whereas comparable 11i Trial Balance files are only 19MB.
3. We tried running in various formats Text, PDF, HTML with no luck.
4. In fact HTML and Text formats gave “Authentication failed” errors when we tried to open the report.
My questions are:
1. Why is there a such a large increase in file size? Is this expected going to R12?
2. Is there a way to speed up the opening of the large files or create smaller files? - (summary mode, and smaller date ranges are not options as per business needs). Even a 2 month date range give the same problems.
3. We noticed that the XLA_TRIAL_BALANCES table has 36,521,125 records...LARGE.
4. We compared the ap_liability_balance records between 11i and R12. We have 29,171,382 in 11i and 37,769,034 in R12. But this is expected as we purge regularly in 11i production and I don't think this difference (about 30%) in the size of the tables should cause such a large difference in the size of the report files (nearly 2000%!!!).
5. Why are we getting Authentication failed errors? Just for these reports?
Of course we opened an SR, but you know how SRs go :-) and this is a time critical project with our deadlines nearing.
Any help or pointers from the experts here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for your prompt reply and my apologies for the substantial delay in mine.
We did some trouble shooting since then.
We repolved the problem by choosing a pdf format instead of the seeded RTF format. This opened up the output in a couple of minutes because the pdf formatted output was about 50mb vs the RTF output which was 300MB+.
But the ORIGINAL problem still remains. The xml tagged .out file is still huge with a size of nearly 1gb!
My earlier questions here now boil down to the following questions.
Q1. Is the huge XML Publisher's .out file expected in R12? It really is massive! The text file from 11i was just 19MB
Q2. Oracle does not seem to offer the option to format the output in plain text ...We see PDF, RTF but no plain ugly text. I would expect plain text file to be much smaller. How can we get the output in plain text?
1.Yes our stats are upto date. Let me emphasize that we do not have a performance problem with the report itself. The issue we are having is opening up the output.
2. The authentication error is resolved. It was because of formatting the reports incorrectly.
3. We did not use the usual tuning procedures such as tkprof because we do not have a performance problem.
4. We checked the OPP file and there are none. I reiterate, The report does complete without issues. It is just that the output takes a long time to open up in the RTF
I will appreciate if others can share any experiences if you have faced this situation and how you have handled it.
Thanks in advance for your time!

Opening PDF files in Reader itself takes a long time

When I try opening PDF Files in Reader itself, this process takes a long time (more then 2 minutes for opening PDF files).
When I try opening PDF Files directly from My computer, My documents: no problem (direct opening).
Running Reader XI on Windows XP SP3.

Hi,
According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
I suggest you do as the followings:
1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.
There is a similar threads for your reference:

I don't know why it takes too long time to sample flat file.

I don't know why it takes too long time to sample flat file.
OWB Client 10.1
While importing a flat file of fixed width ,
in the screen "Flat File Sample Wizard" shows the text box number of rows with default value 200.
I want to extend this value to 700,000.
But, it takes too long time (over 5 hours) to sample it.
Do you know why it is happend? or How can i fix this problem?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
JWS.

Hello,
Actually flat file sampling process goal is to capture the structure of the file. Thats why initially the sample size is set to 200 lines.
The question is why you are trying to perform sampling by 700000 rows? Are you expecting some change in structure beyond this mark?
If so, and you want to capture the fact that your source file is multi typed, your better prepare small file for sampling outside the OWB.

It takes a long time to open an app and sometimes it will just crash, any idea how to fix it?

My four year old Macbook Pro couldn't start yesterday and after going through solutions and all, it worked. But now it's freaking laggy and whenever I want to open an app, it takes a long time or the app will just crash. Any idea how to fix it? I really need the speed and everything back.

noeleeeen,
so you have an external hard disk, onto which you deleted/moved files from your internal hard disk, so that you now have 143 GB or so free on your internal hard disk — is that correct? Is the external disk purely for backups (e.g. a Time Machine destination), or does it function as a supplement to your internal disk?
Was it entirely your personal data files (documents, photos, movies, music, &c.) which you’d deleted or moved to the external disk, or did you also delete/move apps, libraries, &c. over there?
I’m not familiar with Echofon Lite, so I can’t comment on it, but an Apple-supplied app like the App Store shouldn’t crash.
Have you tried running Disk Utility yet, to see if its verification process gives your disks its seal of approval?

Firefox takes a long time to close since a recent update and hogs memory.

Since one of the recent updates that started using plugin containers, Firefox takes a long time to close. If I try to go back it, it tells me it is still running. I liik in Task Manager and about seven plug-in container. exe's are running and I have turned off or disabled mostplugins and addons, even Quicktime. Firefox uses an obscene amount of RAM on my XP machine and has made it sluggish. I use XP SP3. This started after you added the plugin containers in one of the recent updates earlier in the year. For the features it offers me or doesn't offer me, rather, it uses way too much RAM and is too sluggish. And takes a very long time to close out when I close the browser. It uses about twice as much RAM as it used to.

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
See "Hang at exit":

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

My mac takes a long time to log on, running slow

my imac is running slow & takes a long time logging on, anyone knows why this happens?

If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.

NW2004s takes a long time to start up

I am trying to find out why out NW2004s takes a long time to start up.
We have installed NW2004s SP8 JAVA only to use it as Enterprise Portal with Oracle 10g on SUN SPARC 64. While the shutdown of J2EE is pretty fast, the startup take over an hour and half.

Does anyone know what these entries are and some possible options to speed up the startup process? Thanks. I have already gone through the notes for Virtual memory and heap settings for SUN systems. Has anyone had any similar experience?
Thanks!

What SP are you on? We had a similar issue w/SP6 but it was resoloved with SP7.
