now what have to do this?You're doing a fast full scan on the index, which is probably better than a full table scan. CARD=1 means the subquery only expects to find one row - are your statistics current?
Try variations on the query - different ways of coding it to get the same result set. The first thing I think of is a correlated NOT EXISTS subquery (untested)
select consumer_number
from receipts
where not exists (
             select 0
              from consumer_master cm
            where cm.consumter_number = r.consumer_number
);

After OS X update,my mac takes forever to startup.

After last update OS X version 10.10.2 , my macbook takes forever to start up. It got really slow when browsing safari or opening apps. And overtime i have to turn it off, i have to press and hold the start button, while before this update i just had to press on the start button and the options (restart, sleep, shut down) will appear.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Why does it take me so long time to migrate from my old Mac

Why does it take me so long time to migrate from my old Mac?
I just bought a new MacBook Air and using an ethernet cable to migrate all material from my old MacBook Pro, it has now taken med 4 days
and still not done? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for that gbrenik.
Don't really wanna start reloading all of Lion, but read somewhere that I should start the migration by restarting my source Mac by holding down T during startup, that would do the trick. Is this what I have done wrong?

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:

Why is the boot time on my mac pro 2010 slower than my 2010 core 2 duo 13 mbp?

Why is the boot time on my mac pro with clean install of lion around 34 sec on my mac pro 2010 2.8 quad core, when it is only around 17 sec on my 13 mbp 2.67 core 2 duo?
The mac pro uses around 13 seconds from i hit the power button til i hear the chime and see the grey screen.
Is it because it uses time to find the wireless keyboard, trackpad and cinema display?
Mac pro has 16 gb ram and 240 gb ocz agility 3 ssd, macbook pro has a intel 120 gb ssd (320 i think) and 8 gb of ram, so the mac pro has more umpf....

Well it might take a little longer since POST (power-on self test) needs to check more memory.
But try doing a smc and pram reset and see if that helps.

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

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 download a podcast on Mac as opposed to iPhone?

Performed a speed test of ISP and results were roughly 40/40. Why does it take 3 hours to download a 22MB podcast on iTunes via Mac?

I have the exact same problem. I purchased apple tv several years ago, and every time I go to rent or buy a movie it takes anywhere from 3 to 7 hours to download the movie. There is no spur of the moment "hey lets rent a movie tonight" because I know it will take overnight to complete the download. I've checked my internet speed and it spot on. I've noticed other threads with people having the same problem but no one seems to have a solution.

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

My mac takes a long time to open an internet page

My mac takes a long time to open on internet page and it's not the connection as all our other apple products in the house are working fine. Any suggestions?

Here are some troubleshooting steps.
Does this behavior persist if you: (1) Try it from a different user account, e.g., Guest? (2) Try it after starting up in Safe Mode ? (3) Try it after turning off all Safari Extensions? (4) Turn off all virus scanners, system cleaners, and third party optimizers? (5) Delete all malware, (6) Temporarily disable all internet plug-ins? (7) Make a burnt offering to Zeus?

Why does it take iTunes along time to imports CD'S ?

Hi
I was wondering why does it take iTunes along time to import CD's I am using iTunes version 7.02 . Does anyone else have this problem and how do I fix it?
I would appreciate any help,

Fifth Generation iPod Windows XP

Hey lizabler!
Here's a sugestion someone found to be a "workaround" for this issue with iTunes 7:
Don't leave iTunes showing the CD screen, which shows the track names and the importing progress. Click on the library, or iTunes store, as not to leave iTunes on the CD importing screen.
After doing this, your importing speed might increase to a good level once more.
I hope that helps you.
