Very (very) Slow Restart with FW Ext HD connected
I'm experiencing brutally slow restart times (5-10 minutes!) if I have my external firewire HD hooked up and or my Firewire Focusrite Saffire audio interface on line. (I've attempted a PRAM reset but no 2nd chime sounded.)
Plus, lately - the hard drive (Glyph 80 gig) does not appear under a normal restart. It also does not show up in disk utility. I physically have to disconnect the FW cable, restart the Mac, then "hot plug" the HD along with the interface. Not ideal, obviously.
I have a 1.66 GHz mini with 2 gig RAM running 10.4.11 and the latest firmware for the Saffire.
Help?

Given that the Mini has only one FW port, it's obvious you have to daisy-chain your peripherals. Have you tried switching the order? Powering them up before the Mini? Using different cables? Have lots of files in the HD? Making sure they are all plugged into the same grounded outlet (common ground)?
Cables can be the Achilles' heel of Firewire devices, cause any delay will affect the entire chain. The best cables are the short, thick kind, with ample shielding and you should make sure that there is no dust or deposits on the metallic connectors. The thin kind may "work", but will seldom be able to attain full rated speed.
Another possibility concerns what you have on the HD at its root level. If there is an excessively large number of files in a directory ( > ~25,000), there will be a significant delay whenever the Finder accesses it, especially the first time after mounting the HD. This is even more so if you have fancy layouts, colors, custom icons, etc.

Snow Leopard - very slow restart / reboot and Boot Camp restart fail
Hi
After Snow Leopard installation on my Macbook Pro I have a very slow restart. I logged this immediately after install and waited till 10.6.1 was issued and installed but still have the same problems. Hope some one can help.
For an normal restart or reboot I have the grey screen for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for about 2 mins 30 secs before loading desktop. This is longer than Leopard and clearly not what Snow Leopard is meant to be. I have installed on an iMac as well and can see the new normal fast boot.
I also have Windows on it's own partition and use in Boot Camp. I have used this successfully under Leopard.
When I restart from Windows using the Start button and restart, Windows shuts down and then the mac starts up but gets stuck indefinitely on the blue screen. I have waited up to 25 mins then forced a shut down.
However if I restart from Windows using the Boot Camp icon in the taskbar and choose the restart from MacOSX it shuts down windows and restarts the mac in record time!! about 25 secs grey screen and 25 secs blue screen. I can't get this in normal mac mode! - Bizarre.
I have run Disk Utility, repaired permissions, run Tech Tool, Onyx, reset PRAM, deleted startup items plists and removed startup items from System Preferences Account.
I have monitored the Console app for all the startup conditions noted above and will post below. In the logs of the normal mac reboot you can see something to do with Security Agent taking over 2 mins to load. Maybe that is a clue, but I don't understand these messages. Please note that the iStatsmenu app was installed after snow leopard and I had these slow startups before it's installation.
If anyone technical can understand what the **** is going on here I would really appreciate your feedback.
Regards
Eric

Thanks for your contributions. I have made little progress on this issue since posting.
Just as added info, I did a re-install of Snow leopard from install DVD and upgrade again to 10.6.1 and no change to the startup behaviours. Same pattern as before, although the first restart was fast and probably how it is meant to be, then the slow ones reappeared.
I also had a thought that somehow it may be related to the nominated startup disk. There were posts on other boards about similar issues with Leopard where the hanging start was found to be related to the computer not knowing which startup disk to use. I thought maybe as it works when using the boot camp icon from Windows but not the restart button, it may be related, but in OSX and Windows both are set to startup in OSX on HD. So no further joy.
Maybe someone else will come along who can understand the Console logs. Why does the loginwindow and Security Agent take so long?
Do you guys have any clues from your Console system logs? Does yours hang on loginwindow?
The fact that there are so few people with the same problem suggests to me that there is a third party device/preference/ hidden file somewhere that is having an effect and it's not an Apple issue.
I am getting close to wiping the hard drive and starting again....but live in hope.

Very slow working with eps files over new network
Please help!!!
Our IT has recently upgraded us from a OSX server to a 2 Terabyte SNAP SERVER 520.
I am using the only INTEL Mac in the department (we have another 10+ G5 PPCs running 10.4), and the only one using OSX 10.5. Since changing to the new server, I am also the only one with several file saving/opening issues.
I believe this is a network issue.
It is with mostly ADOBE products and we all know they will not support, working over the network. Due to the volume of files, I simply cannot drag files to my HD, and work locally. It is not practical. I also know that we have not had any issues in the past, and don't see why I can't get to the root of the problem.
**The most obvious issue is Illustrator .eps files.**
I can open and save .ai files in good time both locally, and over the network. There is no difference either way. HOWEVER, if it is an .eps file working over the network is not practical. I get the spinning wheel for about 2 minutes each time I open, save, or make a change. It is VERY slow. Working on eps files locally is fine (about the same speed as .ai files), but as soon as it hits the server, it is painfully slow to do anything.
Additionally, when saving Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign AND Quark 7 files (direct to the network), I am regularly getting "Could not save because write access was not granted", or "Could not save becasue unexpected end-of-file was encountered", or "Could not save because the file is already in use or as left open" type errors.
I simply then click 'OK', and then hit save again, and it either gives me the same message, or it goes into 'save as' mode which lets me save the file (same name, and same location, but the original file has disappeared).
I am connected to the server IP address through afp:// but have also tried cifs://. IT have removed all access to the server through smb://, so I cannot try this.
ANY help is appreciated.With regard to the EPS issue, I think I may have found the source of the problem for SMB users: the Suitcase Fusion plug-in.
Did you make any progress on these issues? -

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

I don't know if other people also have this problem, but I noticed an issue which makes Photoshop CS5 completely useless for me: It is scrolling incredibly slow. With CS4 I am able to scroll much faster and with different speeds. In CS5 it seems like the speed is limited. No matter how much I scroll with my mouse, Photoshop keeps scrolling at the same speed.
It seems like it is not only me: The only website concerning this problem I was able to find is:
http://macperformanceguide.com/OptimizingPhotoshopCS5-Issues.html
Unacceptable scrolling speed with center button
I use the scroll wheel in the center of the Apple mouse constantly. In CS5, this functionality is now broken, because CS5 scrolls only a small amount, very different from CS4. There is no apparent work-around.
Reader Joe N agrees:
I saw your posting about CS5 issues, and I want to add another STRONG vote for the Photoshop mouse wheel scrolling speed issue. I use a Magic Mouse, and the scrolling speed is so poor in PS CS5 that it is totally blocking my creative flow. I have scoured the web for a solution and have not found anything yet...
I also use a Magic Mouse and a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Is there any hope of a fix or a workaround?Thanks so much for replying, Chris. I've just started using CS5 and only used CS4 for a couple of weeks. There are so many variables. and I don't think it's just Photoshop. I'm wondering if the same problems happen in windows 7 (I switched to the Mac the last time I bought a computer.) Probably it's just that everything gets more complicated along with the improvements. : -(
Thanks again,

VERY slow performance with CS4 + Save for web
Note: I have done a search for similar issues but can find nothing regarding CS4 and this particular issue. I'm using a MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz w/4GB of RAM and resources are aplenty when the issue occurs.
Issue
My problem is that under certain circumstances the 'save as web' function can take upto 3 minutes before the diaglog box appears. I've had this for some time but only in the last couple of days did I notice something that might be relevant:
Works
1. Open 3 large TIFF files @ 120mb approx (mine are 3 processed RAW files from Capture One / 4200x5600@300dpi)
2. Create a new adjustment layer for each image
3. Resize each image to 72dpi @ 800x600
4. Run a SmartSharpen & flatten layers
5. In each tab (for each image) do 'save as web'
6. 'Save as web' dialog appears in expected time
VERY slow
1. Open 3 large TIFF files @ 120mb approx (mine are 3 processed RAW files from Capture One / 4200x5600@300dpi)
2. Create a new adjustment layer for each image
3. Resize each image to 72dpi @ 800x600
4. Run a SmartSharpen & flatten layers for each image
5. In first tab do 'save as web'
6. 'Save as web' dialog appears in expected time
7. Close this document (tab)
8. Go to the next image (tab) and do 'save as web'
9. Dialog box can take anything from 20secs to 3mins to appear.
10. Close this document (tab)
11. Go to the last image (tab) and do 'save as web'
12. Dialog box can take anything from 20secs to 3mins to appear.
As I can easily go through this process for 50-60 images you can imagine that it can waste over an hour of my time waiting for Photoshop to get it's act together. I assume it's something todo with memory allocation, or that it's processing previews for all three tabs on the first 'save as web', but in any respect it's very annoying. There seems nothing obviously wrong resource-wise at the time of doing these.
Would be interested if anyone else has this issue!
Thanks!I had the same problem when I setup a new computer this week. Here's what I had installed:
Photoshop CS5
Suitcase Fusion 3
The problem was that when I was in Photoshop and used the "Save for Web" export screen, the dropdown menu for the different export types (JPG, PNG, GIF, etc) would take an extremely long time to update the preview of the graphic.
After a few days of research , I found that Suitcase was conflicting with Photoshop. Here's how you fix the problem (or at least here's what I did with my situation):
Open Suitcase
Go to "Tools", click "Manage Plugins"
Deactivate the Photoshop plugin
This fixed the problem immediately and now my Photoshop" Save For Web" feature is working really fast. Hope this helps anyone else in the same boat. -
2.4GHZ clients very slow speeds with AP3600
5508 WLC (7.5.102)
AP36021
We currently have a test WiFi SSID setup that uses basic mac filtering on our WLC's
WLAN is configured with WPA and WPA2 L2 Security with WPA Policy and WPA2 Encryption.
For some reason we seem to be getting very slow speeds on clients with 2.4GHZ
for example speedtest.net I get 70mg upload and 65mg download on 5GHZ devices and about 1-3mg download and 1mg upload for 2.4GZ devices!
AP36021 are dual band with 4 channels (2 x 2.4Ghz and 2 x 5Ghz)
fyi - There are no dropped packets on the client stats via Prime mgmt that use 2.4GHZ
Any ideas here?Foreign Primary WLC (let me know if you need the Anchor controller ouput as well)

Dreamweaver CC opening files very slow iMac with Fusion drive
I am working on a small website based off on Bootstrap 3. Now that I am almost done with the project opening files take a few seconds to open them (in code view). I have tried the various fixes like resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE but still the files load very slow. On my Windows Machine it loads very fast and that machine is 4 years old. The iMac I am using at work is the latest version with decked out specs and only Dreamweaver CC and Edge Code have very slow opening of files. Creating new documents inside Dreamweaver CC is fast. Is there a way to make Dreamweaver open files faster? How to make it load faster, open documents faster, especially in code view. My initial thought is maybe its because I am linking to a few JS library like TypeKit and jQuery but I have not experience these problems on my Windows PC. Any help would be appreciated.

Very slow deployment with in-process=true
Hi,
I'm in the process of porting an enterprise application (packaged into a single EAR file) from JBoss to OC4J.
For now, the biggest part of the application (which is still under development) is an ejb-module with about 66 entity beans with a total of 243 CMR- and 536 CMP-fields. The remaining parts are a few session beans and a few simple web-applications.
One of the problems I'm experiencing during porting the application is the very slow deployment of enterprise beans on oc4j, especially when having set in-process=true.
Deployment on JBoss 3.2.4RC1 takes 28 seconds.
Deployment on OC4J 9.0.4.0.0 takes 20 minutes (cpu-time!).
My deployment platform is an Intel P4, 1.4 GHz, 1024 MB RAM, MS Windows NT 4.0, Sun J2SDK 1.4.2_04.
OC4J is started with "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -verbose:gc -Xms192m -Xmx256m -DassociateUsingThirdTable=true -jar oc4j.jar -userThreads -verbosity 10". OC4J is configured to perform in-process compilation.
So far my investigation shows that OC4J is spending a few minutes probably for analyzing and generating wrapper/proxy classes. Then it starts the in-process compilation which accounts for the bigger part of the 20 minutes.
During that time, "-verbose:gc" shows that it's spending only the usual amount of a few milliseconds per second for GC.
I also had a look at the generated wrapper/proxy classes. The size of some files is intimidating. The biggest one has a size of 1,566,791 bytes (31,930 lines) (- seems that it consists of 95% duplicated code ;-)). This generated source file belongs to a entity beans that I wouldn't describe as being really huge: it has 25 CMP- and 18 CMR fields.
But this is probably not the cause for the extreme slow-down:
Another test with in-process=false was much faster (when compared to the former test): about 2 minutes 30 seconds.
But actually this is still very slow.
Is this a known problem or am I the only one experiencing slow deployments?
How can I speed up deployment times?
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Stefan SchmidtNo TAR yet as this is currently one of the minor problems with OC4J. :-( I'll file a TAR after we've solved some more pressuring problems here.
For now I use in-process=false. Which is still slow, but at least I see can see the reason for this: it simply takes javac some time to compile the generated junk of java sources. -
Apple TV song streaming interrupted, very slow sync with keynote
When I try to play a song or a playlist from iphone (4S and 5) or ipad (mini) via Airplay on Apple Tv, the music is interrupted several times, sometimes the first track, sometimes after 3 track, no rules. Wifi signal is good.
Other issue with Keynote on the iPad. I am trying to mirror a deck but it is very slow, I have to wait 2 to 3 sec between each slide
can someone help me?
thank youThanks for the reply. I used iStumbler on the MacBook Pro and could see three other networks besides my own, and they were all on Channel 11. Mine is on Channel 6 and, given there's no overlap between channels that are separated by 5 channels or more, there should be no interference.
However, the Apple TV reports more channels than iStumbler does and there's no way to know what channel they're on. (Hmmmm, maybe I should move the Mac to the vicinity of the ATV 2.)
However, my local network is involved when the MacBook Pro connects to the internet - I'm using Wi-Fi, not Ethernet - so, if the MacBook Pro can upload at 1MB/sec. to the internet (and that's throttled), why is it uploading at 50-100KB/sec. to the ATV 2?

Ftp is very slow locally with intel solaris 8 with 98 se buffalo ( 100mps)
why? what to check? ping ok.
3 com 3c905b card installed with solaris 8 connected with linksys router.
Buffalo installed in 98 se 100 mps
cable modem with dynamic ip.
I have tried FTP in 98 SE with LINUX 6.0 RH via LINKSYS router with ver 1.37 ( 1.37 is even worser than 1.36-because the status is not refresh but itself) is ok.
but 98SE with intel solaris 8 is very slow with wu-ftp(ipswitch) 1%, then 1%....etc an hour later still 1%. I shut down the solaris try a few times, then it is ok. all connection is tight.
some one said::
The most common mistake that causes bad throughput is mixing
full-duplex and half-duplex stations on the same LAN.
HOWTO solve full-duplex and half -duplex??

HT1349 very slow external HDD and usb drive connected to Apple Extreme Router
Hello
So I got a western digital USB drive (500gig) and western digital Live 2TB.
I bought a new Apple Extreme router and connected them both.
USB drive and external hdd (WD Live 2TB) very slow when connected to Apple Extreme Router, using Lion 10.7 and updated both firmware for router, western digital and Airport Utility.
Slow means, it takes half an hour to copy 200 Mb of file to the WD Live 2TB, and its connected to my router with a gigabit ethernet cable!
Is someone else having the same problem, I thought even over usb I should get around 2-5mb range.
I am using Macbook Pro and 802.11n with Lion 10.7.2
Please HelpThe USB WD 500 gig is connected to the Airport Extreme using a non-powered USB 2.0 hub, only two things a HP printer and the 500 gig is connected through it. I already formatted it to MAC OS Extended Journalled. ANd I think the speed didnt change.
For the WD 2TB Live I didnt format it to anything, started using it out of the box. I just updated its firmware. I was having the same speed even when I directly connected it to my Mac Book Pro using ethernet gigabit cable.
This WD 2TB Live doesnt have any USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connectors, just the ethernet cable. I wasnt planning to carry it around. Just wanted to use it as a good ol NAS. So then I saw the fix somewhere and connected to this drive via AFP, afp://MyBookLive._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Public and it become suddenly very fast. Just like how it should be, I easily copied 20 gigs in around 20-25 minutes. (This was dirctly connected to my computer)
So then I thought my problem is solved and disconnected my WD Live and connected it back to the Apple Router again, and the speed became very slow again. Now both the USB 500 gig and this 2TB Live are slow.
Time machine is also very slow.
Thing is I also have a linux and windows machine(in repair, but should be up soon), Since apple is the newest computer I have, I want to make it work on this first. I dont want to use the MACosx journaled on the 2TB right now. Besides formatting the USB 500 gig to this format didnt help with my speed. So the problem can be elsewhere.
- I will try to get a powered USB hub as woodmeister50 suggested.
- I dont know how to connect via iCloud as cigame suggested
Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions. I have tested and returned enough routers in past few weeks. I really want it to work on this combination LionOSX + Airport Extreme + WD Live.
Thanks -
