Videos take long time to appear

So here's a problem I've had ever since my purchase of a mac: When I open a video in quicktime by double clicking on the video, it takes somewhere between 10-30 seconds to actually appear (for the window to show up on my desktop). Sometimes the video may be on a remote hard drive or disk or something, so I could almost understand the wait (but not really because it shouldn't be loading the whole video into memory anyways...), but this happens even if I'm opening a video on my root partition. Is this normal? I sure hope not...
Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well in that case, if the video opening is faster in a new account per Kyn Drake's suggestion, then see if repairing permissions resolves the issue.

  • 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.

  • Why outlook2011 mac version* takes long time to boot with OSX

    why outlook2011 mac version* takes long time to boot with OSX

    Okay, so after doing all of the above, the computer still takes between 40 seconds and 1 minute or so to boot up, and the VersionCue messages still appear. However I discovered that the "kdcmond cannot retrieve..." messages disappeared after I disabled my ethernet connections. So at least I know that that had nothing to do with the extended boot-up time.
    I have heard that the more RAM you have, the longer it takes to boot due to the RAM count. Since I have 10 GB, maybe this is why?
    I've included the most recent Console messages below:

  • Outlook 2010: Draft emails taking a very long time to appear when moved from user to user

    Hi all,
    One of our users (user 1) has full access to another's mailbox (user 2). When user 1 creates a draft email and moves it to user 2's draft box it can take a LONG time to appear.
    I understand that a lot of Exchange processes can take up to 24 hours to process - as far as I am aware this is not one of these instances?
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Casio

    So it will finally get transferred to the target mailbox. Does it only happen to draft messages? What about other messages?
    After moving the message, please check on the OWA (Outlook Web App) and see if the message appears in the target mailbox. Also, please make sure you are on a stable network connection while moving the messages between these two mailboxes.

  • BPM Process chain takes long time to process

    We have BI7, Netweaver 2004s on Oracle and SUN Solaris
    There is a process chain (BPM) which pulls data from the CRM system into BW. The scheduled time to run this chain is 0034 hrs. This chain should ideally complete before / around 0830 Hrs. <b>Now the problem is that every alternate day this chain behaves normally and gets completed well before 0830 hrs but every alternate day this chain fails…</b> there are almost 40 chains running daily. Some are event triggered (dependent with each other) or some run in parallel. In this, (BPM) process chain, usually there are 5 requests with 3 Delta and 2 full uploads (Master Data). The delta uploads finishes in 30 minutes without any issues with very few record transfers. The first full upload is from 0034 hrs to approximately 0130 hrs and the 2nd upload is from 0130 hrs to 0230 hrs. Now if the 1st upload gets delayed then the people who are initiating these chains, stop the 2nd full upload and continue it after all the process chains are completed. Now this entire BPM process chain sometimes takes 17 -18 hrs to complete!!!!!
    No other loads in CRM or BW when these process chains are running
    CRM has background jobs to push IDOCS to BW which run every 2 minutes which runs successfully
    Yesterday this chain got completed successfully (well within stipulated time) with over 33,00,000 records transferred but sometimes it has failed to transfer even 12,00,000 records!!
    Attaching a zip file, please refer the “21 to 26 Analysis screen shot.doc” from the zip file
    Within the zip file, attaching “Normal timings of daily process chains.xls” – the name explains it….
    Also within the zip file refer “BPM Infoprovider and data source screen shot.doc” please refer this file as the infopackage (page 2) which was used in the process chain is not displayed later on in page number 6 BUT CHAIN GOT SUCESSFULLY COMPLETED
    We have analyzed:--
    1)     The PSA data for BPM process chain for past few days
    2)     The info providers for BPM process chain for past few days
    3)     The ODS entries for BPM process chain for past few days
    4)     The point of failure of BPM process chain for past few days
    5)     The overall performance of all the process chains for past few days
    6)     The number of requests in BW for this process chain
    7)     The load on CRM system for past few days when this process chain ran on BW system
    As per our analysis, there are couple of things which can be fixed in the BW system:--
    1)     The partner agreement (transaction WE20) defined for the partner LS/BP3CLNT475 mentions both message types RSSEND and RSINFO: -- collect IDOCs and pack size = 1 Since the pack size = 1 will generate 1 TRFC call per IDOC, it should be changed to 10 so that less number of TRFCs will be generated thus less overhead for the BW server resulting in the increase in performance
    2)     In the definition of destination for the concerned RFC in BW (SM59), the “Technical Setting” tab says the “Load balancing” option = “No”. We are planning to make it “Yes”
    But we believe that though these changes will bring some increase in performance, this is not the root cause of the abnormal behavior of this chain as this chain runs successfully on every alternate day with approximately the same amount of load in it.
    I was not able to attach the many screen shots or the info which I had gathered during my analysis. Please advice how do I attach these files
    Best Regards,

    Hi,
    Normally  index  creation or deletion can take long time in case  your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check  stat  after your data loading is completed and index generation is done,  Do creation of database statistics.
    Then try to recheck ...

  • The Application Takes long time to Start

    Hello All,
    We ar eon Unix->64 Bit-> Essbase 11.1.1.3.
    Problem Description : The application is taking long to start up. around 5 to 6 minutes. This is very first time it is happening.
    There were no specific changes done to the application in the recent releases.
    I have tried all options 1. Compacating outline, 2. Purging the application log etc. all other applications respond good on this host except this. Usually any application should not take more than 1 to 2 minutes to start up.
    There are no specific errors or XCP files recorded in the logs and folders.
    Appreciate your suggestions
    MS

    Thanks Jitendra and Prabhas,
    I know i have posted this thread sometime back and later I had to jump on a New release, so did not get time to check your inputs.
    Well I am back on this issue again. I have been working on various option to get this issues solved " start of App takes long time"
    Here are some Details. We are on SunOs 64 Bit, has 12CU with dual core,  with Essbase 11.1.1.3 running on it. This is an ASO application and has just 7 dimensions, Out of which the ORGANIZATION Dimension is pretty huge with Multiple Hierarchies enabled ( Both Stored and Dynamic ) and has more than 20,00,000 members including the alternate hierarchies ( Shared members)
    I did a smoke test by building dimension by dimension the app was startiung up in just *40* seconds. and when i reached the ORG dimension and added more than 70,000 memebrs . there i fall sick. the app now gets back to its old issue ( Takes more than 10 mainutes to start).
    CPU Usage ranges between 3.1 % to 4 %
    PID USER NLWP PRI NI VSZ RSS S STIME ELAPSED %CPU COMMAND
    4424 user1 1 59 20 1608 1032 S 18:13:33 00:00 0.0 grep COMMAND

  • MVIEW refresh takes long time

    but while i refresh the MVIEW it takes 1.5 hrs ( total rows is 447 )A SELECT does a consistent read.
    A MV refresh does that and also writes database data.
    These are not the same thing and cannot be directly compared.
    So instead of pointing at the SELECT execution time and asking why the MV refresh is not as fast, look instead WHAT the refresh is doing and HOW it is doing that.
    Is the execution plan sane? What events are the top ones for the MV refresh? What are the wait states that contributes most to the processing time of the refresh?
    You cannot use the SELECT statement's execution time as a direct comparison metric. The work done by the refresh is more than the work done by the SELECT. You need to determine exactly what work is done by the refresh and whether that work is done in a reasonable time, and how other sessions are impacting the refresh (it could very well be blocked by another session).

  • Takes Long time for Data Loading.

    Hi All,
    Good Morning.. I am new to SDN.
    Currently i am using the datasource 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H and it contains 225 fields. Currently i am using around 40 fields in my report.
    Can i hide the remaining fields in the datasource level itself (TCODE : RSA6)
    Currently data loading takes more time to load the data from PSA to ODS (ODS 1).
    And also right now i am pulling some data from another ODS(ODS 2)(LookUP). It takes long time to update the data in Active data table of the ODS.
    Can you please suggest how to improve the performance of dataloading on this Case.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Siva.

    Hi....
    Yes...u can hide..........just Check the hide box for those fields.......R u in BI 7.0 or BW...........whatever ........is the no of records is huge?
    If so u can split the records and execute............I mean use the same IP...........just execute it with different selections.........
    Check in ST04............is there are any locks or lockwaits..........if so...........Go to SM37 >> Check whether any Long running job is there or not.........then check whether that job is progressing or not............double click on the Job >> From the Job details copy the PID..............go to ST04 .....expand the node............and check whether u r able to find that PID there or not.........
    Also check System log in SM21............and shortdumps in ST04........
    Now to improve performance...........u can try to increase the virtual memory or servers.........if possiblr........it will increase the number of work process..........since if many jobs run at a time .then there will be no free Work prrocesses to proceed........

  • The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run

    Hi experts,
    The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run around 5 hours in production
    I have checked the note 382329,
    -> where the indexes 1 and 4 are active
    -> index 4 was not "Index does not exist in database system ORACLE"- i have assgined to " Indexes on all database systems and ran the delta load in development system, but guess there are not much data in dev it took 2-1/2 hrs to run as it was taking earlier. so didnt find much differnce in performance.
    As per the note Note 549552 - CO line item extractors: performance, i have checked in the table BWOM_SETTINGS these are the settings that are there in the ECC system.
    -> OLTPSOURCE -  is blank
       PARAM_NAME - OBJSELSIZE
       PARAM_VALUE- is blank
    -> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
       PARAM_NAME - NOTSSELECT
       PARAM_VALUE- is blank
    -> OLTPSOURCE- 0CO_OM_OPA_6
       PARAM_NAME - NOBLOCKING
       PARAM_VALUE- is blank.
    Could you please check if any other settings needs to be done .
    Also for the IP there is selction criteris for FISCALYEAR/PERIOD from 2004-2099, also an inti is done for the same period as a result it becoming difficult for me to load for a single year.
    Please suggest.

    The problem was the index 4 was not active in the database level..it was recommended by the SAP team to activate it in se14..however while doing so we face few issues se14 is a very sensitive transaction should be handled carefully ... it should be activate not created.
    The OBJSELSIZE in the table BWOM_SETTINGS has to be Marked 'X' to improve the quality as well as the indexe 4 should be activate at the abap level i.e in the table COEP -> INDEXES-> INDEX 4 -> Select the  u201Cindex on all database systemu201D in place of u201CNo database indexu201D, once it is activated in the table abap level you can activate the same indexes in the database level.
    Be very carefull while you execute it in se14 best is to use db02 to do the same , basis tend to make less mistake there.
    Thanks Hope this helps ..

  • Database Connectivity takes long time if one of the Node is down .. ??

    Hello All,
    Env: 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10
    I have 2 nodes.
    When Node1 server is down, it takes long time to connec to the database.
    tnsping would give "OK(2050ms)". Below is the tnsalias.
    RAC_test  =
      (DESCRIPTION =
         (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.123)(PORT= 1521))
         (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=20.268.169.127)(PORT= 1521))
         (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
              (CONNECT_DATA =
            (SERVICE_NAME = DK.com)
          (FAILOVER_MODE =
            (TYPE = SELECT)
            (METHOD = BASIC)
            (RETRIES = 180)
            (DELAY = 5)
    )I put the trace on sqlnet.ora and found that first it pings to the "20.268.169.123",
    since the Server is down there will not be any reply and this consumes the delay and
    later it would ping "20.268.169.127" and connect to it.
    If i keep "20.268.169.127" above "20.268.169.123" in tnsalias, and keep "LOAD_BALANCE=no",
    it gets connected very fast, as its directly connecting to Node2. In tnsping i get Ok(40ms).
    How do i reduce the connect timing if i use the first step. Why does it take long time for
    Oracle Client to understand that the Node1 Server is down ?
    TIA,
    J J

    I hope the IP's you are using in the TNS are Virtual IP's.
    You must use Virtual IP's / hostnames for the failover to be quick. If Node 1 is not available then then it's (Node 1's) virtual IP would also get assigned to Node 2 hence all client connections are still able to get a response from the Node Virtual IP address without needing to wait for TCP/IP timeouts. This helps clients to get notified immediately that node 1 is unavailable and the connection tries the 2nd ip/host in the connect descriptor.
    Hope this helps.
