Why does it take 10 or more minutes for i tunes to "determine tracks to sync" when i haven't added or deleted songs?

why does it take i tunes more than 10 minutes to "determine tracks to syn" when i haven't added or deleted songs? all i have done is change the name of a playlist.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Why does it take a few minutes for gmail emails to be forwarded to my icloud account on my Mac Book?

Suddenly, my gmail emails which have always been set to automatically forward to my icloud account on my, laptop (especially slow now), and iPad, are now taking several minutes for them to forward.
Why is this?
I did recently update to Yosemite. Could this be why? I have never had this issue.
Thanks!

Just to rule out Gmail, I have been having the exact same issue from a private-domain email account. Like you, I recently upgraded to Yosemite and I'd say the timeframe roughly corresponds to that. I've seen delays of as much as three or four hours, in fact. Crazy.

Why does it take over ten minutes for email to get through for my request for a signature

Why isn't this program faster? It's been over 20 minutes emailing a test form, to myself, to see how quick this is? Is this normal? Not what I was looking for in a software program

Have you tried to eliminate everything extraneous. In other words, do you experience the same delays with a simple Java program (no lookups, JNDI) that loads the drivermanager and creates a connection.
Do you have access to a traciong JVM or some program that captures run-time execution timing information? Even without the source, this will tell you the specific class::methos where time is spent so you can better determine where the delay is ocurring.

Why does it take 7-42 minutes for Firefox 4 to open once I click the icon? (I have timed it, yes.)

I'm writing this on ie, which I HATE, because since I installed F4, it will not start up in a reasonable time. I did all the basic troubleshooting, uninstalled and re-installed it, checked the options, etc but nothing works. Everything elso on my computer works instantly, except F4. What's up with that and am I going to have to go back to using the hated ie all the time?

It sounds to me like the installation didn't perform correctly.
What I suggest you do is to go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it, but don't checkmark the option to remove your bookmarks, customizations etc.
Before you do that though, go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file.
After you uninstall the existing installation, reboot.
It's also wise to disable your AV before installing again. If you've got AVG, this is particularly difficult because it doesn't have an Exit option. Instead, you have to open MSCONFIG and remove the checkmark from '''AVG Watchdog '''which disables everything. Any changes to MSCONFIG requires a reboot I regret to say.

Why does it take over 2 minutes to get a database connection from the DataSource?

Hello,
It is taking over 2 minutes for my application to get a connection from a registered DataSource in iAS 6.0 sp4 on Solaris. The proper results are returned it just takes 2 minutes to establish the connection. The DataSource is an Oracle 9i database. I have the 9i drivers in the classpath. I also have a registered datasource that is an Oracle 8 database and have no problems establishing a connection quickly to that database. As an aside I have setup this application on JBOSS and both datasource's return a connection very quickly. If anyone has any ideas about what might be going on please respond. This issue is holding up a production release.
Here is the code:
try {
log.debug("getting a new initial context");
ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup(bundle.getString("IW_DATASOURCE"));
log.debug("after looking up datasource from initial context");
} catch (NamingException e) {
log.error(e);
throw new FinstarException
(bundle.getString("E-0001"));
try {
log.debug("about to get connection");
conn = ds.getConnection();
log.debug("after getting connection");
Produces this in the logs:
2002-05-29 08:55:12,859 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - about to get connection
2002-05-29 08:57:24,963 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - after getting connection
Here is the datasource registration file:
<ias-resource>
<resource>
<jndi-name>jdbc/pdc/IWDataSource</jndi-name>
<jdbc>
<database-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.xxx.org:1521:acisdb</database-url>
<datasource>jdbc/pdc/IWDataSource</datasource>
<username>XXXXX</username>
<password>XXXXX</password>
<driver-type>OracleThinDriver</driver-type>
</jdbc>
</resource>
</ias-resource>

Why does indows takes up more space than it needs?

This is the third computer I have installed Windows 7 on since using Bootcamp and for a second time I have run into a wierd glitch.
After partitioning the internal drive with 65Gb for Windows, I installed Windows 7 and everything went smoothly as always, however.
When checking the remaining space on C: in windows it says I only have 23Gb of space left. This means that the Windows installation alone has taken up 42Gb!!!!!! Why? This has happened before and I have not been able to find anyone else with the same problem.
Should I reinstall windows?
Using Macbook Pro Retina.

Your math and the lack of details of how and why. I and others here generally recommend a 48GB minimum for Windows 7 64-bit.
If you don't control the page and hibernation file those alone can eat up twice your RAM or 16GB and up.
The core of Windows can take 22GB.
My systems generally use 34GB
run disk cleanup: system files. The install leaves behind a 1.2GB file and then run CCleaner regularly. You can clean out 4GB afterwards.
The partition needs about 10-12GB just for all the initial updates - Windows 7 is close to 3 yrs now and even SP1 was over a year ago. That temp space needs to be rhere and is just overhead
SSD will want 10GB for TRIM and Garbage Collection to perform properly.
60GB even for an SSD is $1/GB, even less for standard drives.
And then there are the people that need to use CampTune to resize their partition. Or someone that didn't plan and made it too small and cannot login after setup. Or didn't leave 20%/20GB or more for Mac HFS to function.

Why does it take Firefox several minutes to load all wesites including its own?

Opening Firefox may take minutes. Or if opens it takes minutes to access Google. Or if that opens minutes go by before the NYTimes site opens. Often a window from Firefox appears: "This is embarrassing." Three options appear: restart,check for errors, close program.

Why does iMovie take almost 10 minutes to launch?

I have a 2.8ghz iMac with 4G of RAM, no projects loaded, yet iMovie launches VERY slow. The spinning beachball rotates for almost ten minutes before I finally can use the program. Tried to reinstall to no avail.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
Thank you!

Do you have a lot of Movies inside iPhoto? Some people have complained about that. iMovie starts in about 5 seconds for me.

Why does it take so much longer for applications to launch under lion as compared to snow leopard

I have two iMacs one which cannot run Lion and one which does.
Launching applicaitons under Lion takes a measurable amount of time longer to launch under Lion than they do under Snow Leopard.
The Lion machine is newer, faster and larger than the Snow Leopard machine - 4 cores vs 2, however, every time I launch an application, such as Safari or Text Exit as two examples, the Lion machine just cranks and cranks (you can listen to the disk drive).
Text edit is particularly rediculous. If I try to open a text file, either for the first time or one which has been opened by text edit before, I am greeted with the sound of the disk drive and the spinning beach ball.
All hardware diagnostic tests pass with flying colors. Or so it appears as no errors or abnormalities are reported.
This effect has been in place since the lion machine arrived (which was "factory installed" with Snow Leopard and then upgraded over the net to Lion).

That is not normal, but what is going on is hard to say without some testing. It could be cache-related, if you've gotten some corruption in some important caches. Try getting a copy of OnyX and clearing caches. (Note that cache clearing should be considered a troubleshooting step only... don't use such utilities for routine maintenance.)
You could also have a dying hard drive. That would not necessarily show up on hardware tests. Sometimes drive failures show up in advance in hardware tests or SMART status checks, and sometimes they don't. That could explain the excessive hard drive thrashing. If this is the problem, there may not be any reasonable solution until the drive finally goes kaput, or decides to change to a detectable imminent failure.
There could also be any number of other problems, such as low RAM, hard drive directory corruption, incompatible third-party software, etc. Try some of the techniques in the Mac OS X Speed FAQ.

HT5312 why does it take a billion years for apple to send rescue email????

I dont buy a lot of apps in the itunes store, but when I do I usually get the same ol login in 3-4 times and then the obscure when was the last time you took a breath or what was your grandmas neighbors maden name security questions.. I dont know the answers when I give them originally so remembering them is tough, so I have to reset my them by requesting they send me an email with instruction for reseting but I never get the email 2 hours i wait ... Samsung has my business now...gooogle play is a cake walk compared to apple

Usually a non-delivery report is sent by your mail service provider.
Some will alert you to a problem after 2 or 4 hours and indicate they will keep trying.
Others may discover the issue immediately because the receiving server refuses the message right away.
But not finding out the address is invalid for a week is ridiculous. Does this only happen with the one client's email server? It may be misconfigured in some way.

Just installed FF 4 in Win 7. Why does it take a full minute to open?

This was also true for FF 3.17. Some times it doesn't open at all, and I have to open the Task Manager and stop the FF process to get it to open.

It sounds to me like the installation didn't perform correctly.
What I suggest you do is to go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it, but don't checkmark the option to remove your bookmarks, customizations etc.

Why does Firefox take me to a page that says, "Oops Page cannot be found" when I click on a link in a secure site. Not with IE: only Firefox.

If I go to a secure site and click on a link, it take me to "Oops Page cannot be found". I have reset Firefox, uninstalled it and re installed it, disabled my Add Ons, and every other suggestion from the forum. Nothing works and this does not happen with IE. Is the bottom line that I must use IE for these sites? I would prefer Firefox but cannot solve this problem.

Did you disable all the extensions before restarting?
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
*all extensions are disabled
*the default theme is used (no persona)
*userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
*the default toolbar layout is used (localstore-safe.rdf)
*the Javascript JIT compiler is disabled
*hardware acceleration is disabled
*plugins are not affected
*preferences are not affected

Why does it take. So much longer for YouTube videos to load on my iPad 1st gen. then on my iPod touch?

This is not the place to make a point. This is a user to user support forum. I do not need instructions about the use and care or alleged failure of cables. At no time did I ever say or imply that you were an idiot, that is your statement and words, not mine. Take the time to Google and you will find instances where there have been injuries and death dealing with 3rd party cables and chargers. The abilities that Apple has for manufacturing and what business decisions they make in creating their products is nothing more than speculation, and that is not allowed under the terms of the forum that you agreed on when you joined here. If you want to rant at Apple, then use the feedback link, www.apple.com/feedback. Other users cannot do anything for you.

TS1702 why does it take so long for the updates to download on my ipad?

why does it take so long to for the undated Apps to download??

First shut down the text app and clear both
cache and data and do a normal power cycle. Follow that with a system cache clear and then restart the text app again and restore your preferred settings for the app.

Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

There could be several reasons. It may be that Acrobat spent that time trying and ran into too many bottlenecks. As a test you might print the PDF to a new PDF and try the conversion on the new PDF. It might be there is a problem with the original PDF that the print process would fix..
