Why does PASTE take a full second to happen?

When I either COPY and PASTE or CUT and PASTE, from one cell to the next, it takes Numbers at least a full second to paste the data. I could COPY once, then PASTE, TAB, PASTE, TAB, etc and it takes forever. Seems like a bug to me so I was going to send Apple some feedback.

Not a bug, just an inefficient code.
Pasting a formula in a cell may force the recalculation of the entire sheet, even the recalculation of several sheets.
I guessed that Numbers behaves as an Xml interpreter. Other users disagree with me.
True or wrong, Numbers is pure mollasse.

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.
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 an eternity to change the name of a Title in my iTunes movie library?

When I goof up and put a movie into my iTunes library with an error in the name, I click on the name and change it. My spinning wheel starts up and just goes and goes and goes. All I did was change the title of a movie; this should be simple. Why does that take an eternity? It happened in Snow Leopard and it happens in Lion.

When you change a tag, iTunes needs to rewrite the file back to the disc.
If the file is a 4MB MP3 it only takes a second, but with a large movie file it can take a while.

Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix movies are adaptive and vary their quality according to your connection and can be as low as 0.5 Mbps.
But remember lower datarates = lower quality.

Why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?

why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?
Some time ago it took just a few seconds.

I have the same problem. It always takes about 30 seconds for my Mac Pro to fall asleep and it's driving me crazy.
I've got a Mac Pro early 2009 4.1. I've reinstalled the OS twice, disabled all startup items, uninstalled the Logitech Control Center, and unplugged all USBs. Only running keyboard and apple Mighty Mouse on bluetooth.
I've also disabled hibernate mode, and removed the sleep image from the boot disk.
On a pmset log, every thirty seconds the "com.apple.diskmanagementd" program creates a "PreventIdleUserSleep", then thirty seconds later it creates a "ReleasedIdleUserSleep". This repeats itself continuously while it's sleeping.
I've tried killing the process in Activity Monitor and it just starts up again 30 seconds or so later.
What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?

on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

Why does it take so long to access older messages on this site?

Just curious, but why does it take so long to access the older messages
(and related responses) on this site?
When I do a search, the list of results comes up immediately, but when
I click on an entry to see the full message I run into problems. If
the entry is relatively new (say less than six months old), the full
message and related responses displays within seconds, but if it is
old than that, it can take up to 15 minutes or more to display
everything.
I have tried different browser, different operating systems, with and
without proxies and firewalls, on T1, on DSL, on dial-up, and the same
thing always happens.
Anyone know what is causing this, and a way I can fix it?
Thanks

Hey that happens to me too....I think they are archived a different way then the new post, so it takes longer to retrieve them.

Why does it take so long to recognize my camera?

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XS. When I plug it in, iPhoto jumps up and is in front on the screen, as it should, but then it takes 8 or 10 minutes for it to be identified and booted up into the sidebar. I just watch the wheels turn and the red light flicker, but it takes EIGHT or MORE minutes to be recognized!! And, sometimes the camera times itself out. Here is my question . . . WHY WHY WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO BE RECOGNIZED?!?!?!!? I could deal with 30 seconds, but this is just ridiculous. Is this a Canon issue? A driver issue? Heaven forbid, an Apple issue? Does anybody have any insight on this or the same kind of experience?
Mike

Next time you import reformat the card with the Camera - remember this will erase the card, so make sure you've emptied it first. Oh, and the use of block capitals is very impressive. Doesn't make it look like a tantrum at all.

Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
Regards.

Why does Sync take soo long?

I am trying to sync up a website on a new install of
Dreamweaver. The total volume of the entire website is just a
little over 100 MB. At DSL speed, I could simply download the
entire site with an FTP program like CuteFTP and it would come down
completely in about 30-40 minutes.
Dreamweaver has been chugging along for 12 hours now and I
haven't a clue when it will be finished if ever. Many times when I
check it, there is a dialog that says something like a file xxx.htm
could not be downloaded from the server, Skip, Cancel, will
automatically skip in xx seconds.
I am not for sure why this message keeps popping up. Is this
why the download is taking so long?
I have seen long download times before and never noticed
those error messages before. I wish there was a setting to make it
skip all files with errors.
Why does Dreamweaver take exponentially longer than Cute FTP
to synchronize my files?
Kirk

Adobe's FTP code in DW is sorely lacking. I too found it
painfully slow. I
have since gone to a dedicated FTP program and live much
happier.

Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time. What should I do next besides wait?

Why does it take so long for Firefox to load?

Why does it take so long for Firefox to launch at initial start up? It usually takes 3 or 4 minutes. IE loads within a few seconds.

Reset the homepage to something else, or do not use a home page at all.

Why does it take a long time to back up my iPhone?

My iPhone is taking forever to backup. Whenever I pluf it in and it starts to back up it seems to stay on the screen in my iTunes and the bar doesn't move at all. I need help. What should I do?

Extraordinary long backups are caused by an error when an app (or apps) was installed or updated, particularly if you have ever installed or updated using the App Store on the device itself rather than iTunes. Even if you were never aware that there was a problem, they can arise and will cause problems with the backup process. Maybe you did have a problem during an update or install. Maybe the update stalled, or the App Store crashed. These issues are very likely what have been causing your long backups and you didn't even know it. During the backup process these errors cause it to drag and pause for a very long time before it gets moving again. From your view, you just see a normal backup that is taking hours, and undoubtedly annoying you to no end. On the inside, iTunes is trying desperately to get past a roadblock that it doesn't know where it came from.
May be this post is helpful for you: http://www.applefaq.com/why-does-it-take-so-long-to-backup-my-iphone.
