Why is my mac taking so long to load videos

why is my mac taking so long to load videos

This may have something to do with your Internet connection, the size of the video you are watching or the amount of items running in your Mac at the same time.

Hi,

Without seeing an execution plan of the query it is hard to suggest something useful. Try insert the result of UNION ALL to the temporary table and then perform an aggregation on that table, not a CTE.
Just
SELECT CollectionDate,Bankname,DSLIPS AS DSLIPS,SUM(BN) AS BN,SUM(COINS)AS COINS FROM
#tmp Group By CollectionDate,DSLIPS,Bankname
HAVING COUNT(DSLIPS)<>0;

Why is my ipad taking so long to charge now that I upgraded to ISO 7. Not happy

Why is my ipad taking so long to charge. I upgraded to iso7.01 and it takes forever and I am not happy

Have you reset you iPad,or tried deleting the apps that are crashing and then opening them again. Or closing them and reopening them. Also clear Safari and see it that helps. There have been a few other posts like yours , and I can't figure out why it happens to some ipads and not others. I have not even seen what happens with a "crash" occurs and I use mine all the time. Good luck.

Hi ariasm21,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the App Store on your iPhone seems unresponsive or app updates are not completing, try the steps below.
First force close the apps using these steps:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Next, restart your device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try updating an app again. If the issues persist, you may want to troubleshoot your internet connection next:

My MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) is taking 10 minutes to boot-up. It's also taking much longer to open files. I have 650 GB out of 700 GB left on my machine so it's not that I've overloaded the memory. Is anyone else having this problem?

Look at this comprehensive trouble shooting document;

I suggest that you start with SMC and PRAM resets.
Then a Safe Boot.

Why don't you try updating to 5.0 since it's available now?

Why mac taking too long to wake-up??

I dont know ahy but my mac is taking too long to wake up after sleep mode. As I open up the lid, the password screen pops up quickly but after I type in the password, it takes too long to open up. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

It might have something to do with the SSD, what is the size of your Ram ?? do an extensive test on your RAM which will take a long time. Bad RAM can do wacky things and work fine until you do something specific or push the system hard. Have a look at this articles here, might be helpful: https://www.ewal.net/2012/09/09/slow-wake-for-macbook-pro-retina/

After formatting and creating two partitions on my external HD, why is Time Machine taking 25x longer to perform a backup?

Hi.
I bought a macbookpro 13"retina, new two weeks ago and a G-tech 1TB external drive from the apple store. It's my first mac.
I performed a backup, using Time Machine, which copied 18 GB onto he 1TB external HD in around 20 minutes.
After a little more reading, I realised I should use Disk utility to partition the 1TB external G-tech drive into a 250gb partition, and a 750gb partition.
[My MBP has a 250gb flash HD. I'll use the other 750gb for storage of my other files, like photos, music etc.]
So, using disk utility I formatted the 1TB exernal drive, then created two partitions.
However, I've started backing up my data using time machine again, onto the 250gb partition, on the external drive, and its now taking 5 hours to copy the 19.81GB
So why is it taking 25x longer than the first time I did it? [First time it took 20 minutes]
Thanks

Since performing the fist backup, a couple of days ago, which took twenty minutes, and the second backup, which is taking 5 hours, I installed MS office for Mac 2011 and Silverlight.
Dont know if thats responsible?

Why is Migration Assistant taking soooo long?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro 13". I decided to transfer most of my stuff from my old iBook G4. I tried to use a firewire cable but MA said "Mac OSX is not installed on your old Mac." Huhhh? That machine has never seen anything but OSX...
So I use an ethernet cable directly between the two computers. That works. Except that it is taking INSANELY long. I am only transferring about 30 gigs and it has been going for 6 hours and says it will need 8 more! What can possibly take so long??? When I transfer files over my network using the same cables, 30 gigs takes maximum 30 minutes I think....
Thanks,
Bo

Okay a few things here - first if you're using mavericks on both machines you don't need to do anything with target disk mode. Just using migration assistant on both machines connected by thunderbolt is enough.
Second, I have a 2011 MacBook Air and it does have a single thunderbolt port. Pre-2011 may have been the mini display port.
Finally, and the reason I stumbled onto this, the thunderbolt connection works wonderfully fast but there's some kind of bug in migration assistant that defaults to the wifi connection if both machines are connected to the network, even if you have a thunderbolt cable connected. I'm transferring a 2011 MacBook Air to a new rMBP and just discovered this issue. I connected with the thunderbolt cable, it estimated around an hour for about 80gb of data then inched closer to 36 mins as the estimate.
At some point along the way though migration assistant decided wifi would be better and the estimate jumped to over 20 hours. I unplugged my router (only solution for me once both machines had migration assistant running) and it seamlessly defaulted back to thunderbolt where the estimate cut back down to 30ish minutes.
The thunderbolt cable being worth the extra money or not is I suppose a matter of opinion but for me it's got plenty of other uses to justify the price and certainly made this transfer a lot faster. I just wish migration assistant wouldn't default to wifi without any kind of indicator.
So I assume too late to help you out but hopefully someone will see this and fix this bug and maybe it'll be helpful to someone else as it's still an issue as of right now.

HT1766 Why is my restore taking so long?

Why is my iPhone 5 restore from iCloud taking so long?

I FOUND A SOLUTION as to why the iCloud restore to my iPhone 5 was taking so long (3 days).
It basically boiled down to my phone trying to download & restore iTunes music from my other apple id. It asked for it initially, but the tech on the phone told me I could skip it...don't skip it. My music is with one id (macbook) and my apps are with my most used id (iphone).
I checked my phone to see if I had iTunes music waiting to download/reinstall...and there was, but it wasn't downloading.
On my phone, I went to settings, icloud, signed out of my most used id, signed in to my other id, downloaded that music, then signed back out.
My phone was ready to go in seconds!
**I highly suggest using wifi to perform your iCloud restore***
I was on my way to the Genius Bar in the morning, but now things are resolved. I really hope this helps someone!
