Why does my MBP 2011 take more than 90 seconds to boot and be usable

MBP 13" 2011, OS 10.9.4, 4G RAM
The boot time from press start to when I can use my MAC is excruciating, at least 90 seconds.
I have REPAIRED DISK PERMISSIONS AFTER EACH UPDATE OF SOFTWARE,
I have created a Guest Account and the 'start/to use time is 1/3.
I have NO 3rd party software, all Apple,
My iPhono Library is only? 10.5G
I have reset the SMC-Shift/Control/Option-hold- start
Once the Mac is up and running it seems to run ok with Safari, Mail running, but add to that NUMBERS or Garage Band 10, (fagedabowdit),
so, short of more patience, or RAM, any suggestions on this LOOOOOOOONG boot time?
Thank you all

Ok, I'm gonna re-read this Transferring files from one User Account to another coupla times. Trying to see how I can see both accounts/homes at the same time.
Is this the home folder items on the right I copy and paste into the new HOME on the newly created Admin Account (using a different name)? So I select the the 10 folders, select copy and I assume all content is copied as well and then paste that into.....ok, I'll bug off and read and re-read and then decide to try--or not.
This has been good, your help is spot on.

Why does printing a pdf take more than one hour?

Printing a single page from a pdf document (simple text) takes well over one hour. Surely, this can't be normal. Is this a known bug or is something wrong with my setup? Is there a solution/workaround?
Mac OS X 10.7.3, Canon MP550 printer.

The size of the document is 15.3 MB. I only needed to print one single page from that document, which took me about 70 minutes.
For the record it is possible to have a large text-based PDF. What can increase the file size is the presence of images in the document. I have a training document I created in Word with lots of screen grabs that is 17MB. After converting it to PDF using Acrobat Pro the resulting PDF is 9.6MB. I also have a Snow Leopard manual - one of the David Pogue missing manuals - that is 15.2MB. So a large PDF file does not automatically mean it is image-based as has been suggested. And even if it was image-based file, which is usually TIFF encoded for b&w and JPEG encoded for colour documents, a single page of that document should not take that long to print.
With the document open in Acrobat you can select File > Properties and under the Description section you will see what application created the document and under the Advanced section you will see what application was used to create the PDF. This will give you some insight into the type of document you have. But if you did not create this PDF then there is not much you can do anyway.
If the same single page prints fine using Preview, then there could be a print setting in Acrobat that is causing the long delay. One setting is located in the Advanced print dialog menu. With the print dialog window open, you will see the Advanced button (outlined in red).
With the Advanced setting window displayed you will see the setting "Print as Image". Having this enabled can dramatically increase the file size of the document to be printed.

Why does the first Firefox browser takes more than ten seconds to open?

Once my laptop is logged into, Firefox's initial browser takes more than 10 seconds to open. The subsequent windows take less than two seconds. Much more complex programmes like photoshop open in next to no time. Is Firefox a 'heavy' programme to start?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I shifted to Firefox Windows IE two weeks ago. Eversince.

See http://autonome.wordpress.com/2010/ for progress of work being done to improve that.40

Is it true that iPhone 4s does not allow to take more than 1000 photos?

Hi!
Is it true that iPhone 4s does not allow to take more than 1000 photos?

Not true.
Only Photostream is allowed to take a max of 1000 photos, then they will be removed from server/icloud.

Ldap search query takes more than 10 seconds

LDAP query takes more than 10 seconds to execute.
For validating the policy configured, the Acess Manager(Sun Java System Access Manager) contacts the LDAP (Sun Java System Directory Server 6.2) to get the users in a dynamic group. The time out value configured in Access Manager for LDAP searches is 10 seconds.
Issue : The ldap query takes more than 10 seconds to execute at some times .
The query is executing with less than 10 seconds in most of the cases, but it takes more than 10 seconds in some cases. The total number of users available in the ldap is less than 1500.
7 etime =1
6 etime =1
102 etime=4
51 etime=5
26 etime=6
5 etime=7
4 etime=8
From the ldap access logs we can see the following entry,some times the query takes more than 10 seconds,
[28/May/2012:14:21:26 +0200] conn=281 op=41433 msgId=853995 - SRCH base="dc=****,dc=****,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(&(***=true)(**=true))(objectClass=vfperson))" attrs=ALL
[28/May/2012:14:21:36 +0200] conn=281 op=41434 msgId=854001 - ABANDON targetop=41433 msgid=853995 nentries=884 etime=10
The query was aborted by the access manger after 10 seconds.
Please post your suggestions to resolve this issue .
1.How we can find out , why the query is taking more than 10 seconds ?
2.Next steps to resolve this issue .

Hi Marco,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Sorry for replying late. I was out of office for few weeks.
1) Have you already tuned the caches? (entry cache, db cache, filesystem cache?)
We are using db cache and we have not done any turning for cache. The application was working fine and there was no much changes in the number of users .
2) Unfortunately we don't have direct access to the environment and we have contacted the responsible team to verify the server health during the issue .
Regarding the IO operations we can see that, load balancer is pinging the ldap sever every 15 seconds to check the status of ldap servers which yields a new connection on every hit. (on average per minute 8 connections - )
3) We using cn=dsameuser to bind the directory server. Other configuration details for ldap
LDAP Connection Pool Minimum Size: 1
LDAP Connection Pool Maximum Size:10
Maximum Results Returned from Search: 1700
Search Timeout: 10
Is the Search Timeout value configured is proper ? ( We have less than 1500 user in the ldap server).
Also is there any impact if the value Maximum Results Returned from Search = set to 1700. ( The Sun document for AM says that the ideal value for this is 1000 and if its higher than this it will impact performance.
The application was running without time out issue for last 2 years and there was no much increase in the number of users in the system. ( at the max 200 users added to the system in last 2 years.)
Thanks,
Jay

My iMac 21.5 Inch takes more than 10 minutes to boot. How to solve??

I have just installed Mac OS X v10.6.7. The iMac just boot super slowly. It takes more than 10 minutes to become responsive...
How can i solve the problem???

This could be something as simple as a corrupted cache or as drastic as a failing hard drive, but try the less drastic first. Back up all your data and run Onyx 'automation'. You could empty all your caches manually, but Onyx will do it in one click. If Onyx doesn't resolve the start up issue you will have to start thinking about more drastic measures.

Why does LR Develop Sharpening halo more than Photoshop's "Sharpen?"

Check out these two images:
Started in LR
Develop module
Sharpen = 100
View at 1:1
Took a screen shot:

Started in LR
Develop module
Sharpen = 0
Sent to edit in CS2/Photoshop
Applied Sharpen More
Applied Sharpen (second application was to reach about the same level of sharpness as LR's Sharpen = 100 for an equal comparison)
View at 100%
Took a screen shot:
http://www.reesweb.com/samples/sharpen/PS-ShMore-Sh.jpg
Why does LR's develop sharpen have so much more haloing? Seems like it should be at least as good as Photoshop's basic sharpen algorithms, right? Sure, LR doesn't have USM and maybe there's an argument (a marketing argument, that is) for keeping some high-end tools in PS, but the basic sharpening that is so important for RAW images should rock in LR. Am I missing something here?
For now I'm doing the PS round trip that many of us are doing just to apply the basic sharpening that RAW images need. A round trip would be OK for the occasional need of something more sophisticated in PS, but a round trip for every image is ridiculous.
/Still really dig LR!

Try this article by Bruce Fraser:
Out of Gamut: Thoughts on a Sharpening Workflow.
In it he outlines the concepts of a "sharpening workflow" where "capture sharpening" is done only to restore the loss of sharpness caused by digital capture (or scanning), "creative sharpening" to do image specific sharpening (or smoothing) and then "output sharpening" only at the final stage _AFTER_ you got the image in it's final size and resolution.
You can also delve deeper into the mysteries of sharpening in his book
Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop CS2
The bottom line is that there really is no such thing as a "single sharpening" routine that will be correct for each image or output type. Thus the "sharpening workflow".
And the other big problem is the fact you can _NOT_ use a computer display to accurately sharpen images for output...a display is simply way too low a resolution device. You need to actually test the sharpening on the actual output and media you are using...
Sorry...wish this stuff was simpler/easier, but it's not :~(

Takes more than 90 seconds to start iTunes

When I start iTunes, Airtunes is trying to connect to my Airport Express for more than one minute. When I press "stop" in the "Connecting to Airport Express" dialog, iTunes is immediately launched and I can immediately stream music through the Airport Express.
This proves the AE is set up as it should (I suppose), so why is AirTunes taking so long to connect?
When I set Airtunes to use my "Computer" speakers, iTunes launches in a number of seconds. When swtiching the speakers back to AE, it's immediately streaming to AE.
What's wrong with my setup?
Just to be complete...AE is not showing in my Airport System Preferences, Advanced Options, "Show Networks"

I have the same problem. Did you find out how to fix it?

Iphone5 - Downloading application from app store takes more than 24 hours to download and install, even if the memory size of app is very small about 2 MB. WIFI connection seems to works well - because the webpages browsing using safari is very fast.

I face problem with downloading application from apple store.
It took more than 5 hours to install google maps application and many other application took more than 24 hours.
It is very worst to see such downloading performace with my new bought iphone5.
My WIFI connections seems to be very good. As I can able to open many webpages at very high speed.
I can able to see my many HD videos open and play immediately once I touch.
Though i cannot able to test the speed, as the www.speedtest.net also not working in my iphone5.
When i launch speedtest.net app i get the message "Finding closest server" forever and it is never showing the speed details.
My laptop shows the 10Mbps speed with speedtest.net on the same WIFI network
I got much frustrated with iphone5. Can someone help me to fix this issue ?

Why does Safari become unresponsive when more than 20 windows are open

Does 3.0.3 fix this?
It is extremely annoying to wait for the beachball for minutes on end after a certain number of windows( 15 to 25) are open. You can't open a new one , you can't close old ones, you can't scroll, you can't use the back arrow, you can't bookmark.
I have tried iFreeMem to clear memeory, Empty cache, Clear History, keeping desktop clear of icons, nothing works.
Mi compadres in the Photoshop Forum believe it is a file swap issue and the disk is being accessed repeatedly, but I don't think so. Fire Fox does the same thing but allows more windows to be open.
I don't have any unresponsive or slow issues with anything else. Safari has always done this since at least 10.4

It's not that I'm unfamiliar with tabbed browsing, I use it three times a day in Firefox for work purposes. Firefox has a less awkward tabbing scheme, for one thing.
I't just that I never thought there would be a problem following links and leaving the previous windows open.
Moving 25 gigs of files off my hard disk showed a temporary improvement in the number of windows I could have open in both FF and Safari, but it seems to have reverted to about 20 in S and 40 in FF. This , I thought, indicated that it was indeed a swap file slowdown, but now I don't think so. The next time I start linking, I'll use Open in Tab and see what happens. Not tonight, too tired.

Why does it show a user more than once in Users On...

At times I see that the same forum id is shown logged in twice on the Users Online
Is this just me going mad?
-+-No longer a forum member-+-

Hi DS,
That happens when the site's related cookies (viewable under options in your browser) have not cleared and the timeout session has not been registered. It doesn't affect your minutes online so you can either delete your cookies or just let it be. It has no negative effect so no need to worry.
Thanks.

Opening PDF-files in Outlook 2007 takes more than 30 seconds.

Some of our users get multiple PDF-files as attachments in their Outlook 2007 mailbox. (In Citrix)
They have to read and print multiple PDF-files per day,
It takes them at least 30 seconds before the attachement opens, then another 30 seconds before the printoptions appears, and then another 30 seconds to give the actual printorder.
If yoy have to process 50-100 of those per day it is very annoying.
Does anywhone have a solution for this?
We work with Acrobat 10 and 11

Just for the heck of it, I renamed a FDF file to a PDF file and tried to open it, no go. I was able to import a FDF to the original PDF. The install option is a bit of an issue and I am not sure what to say to that. It may be looking for the PDF file on the hard drive and not actually be trying to install Acrobat. I opened a FDF in the same folder as the PDF and it opened right up. Otherwise, I think the location of the PDF has to be encoded in the FDF file. The form name is typically at the end of the FDF file (OPEN in notepad or such to look at the details of the FDF). You will not that it does not start as %PDF, but %FDF.
As I mentioned, Acrobat is likely looking for the original document listed at the end of the FDF file.
