Wine is taking ages to load

Wine is taking ages to load in my machine. When i run winecfg, for exemple, it takes about 10min to show me a window.
$ winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '~/.wine'...
Failed to open the service control manager.
-> hangs here for about 10min
I already enabled (and disabled) the DRI module in xorg.conf, but it didint helped anything. Delete the .wine folder is not the solution either because im having this problem since i instaled wine (but i erased the folder, anyway).
$ wine --version
wine-0.9.30
So ... any tips?

I have the same problem as you. I installed wine through pacman and when I do 'winecfg' , I have to wait a really long time until it loads. I don't understand why this is so. In all of the other linux distributions that I tried, wine started up quite fast (gentoo, ubuntu, zenwalk, fedora core, etc) Could someone please tell us why it takes a long time for wine to open. Thank you.
My WINE version is wine-0.9.33
PS: I am not sure if this would be the cause, although I don't know why it would do anything but, I am running the 32 bit Arch Linux on a 64 bit machine, and this is because I need to use wine for a certain something that I have to do for my school, so I don't want to use Arch64. I know that it is possible to get wine to work in 64 bit Arch, but I have no clue how to update the package along with the rest of the system, and I can't seem to get a chroot environment to work.

Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

Home page taking ages to load

Hi all,
i have developed a site using SiteStudio. It takes ages to load for the first time. When i investigate i could find that reason behind is huge number of HTTP request(58 total). about 90% of these hits is generated from CSS files and js file. As of now i have stored them inside the content server and accessing them from there. The css and js refers to may images receiding in the content server.
IS there some way i can reduce the requests that are made.
reagrds,
sapan

Hi,
What languages are you all using for your sites? We personally use JSP and get just amazing performance even under significant loads. I have seen a couple sites recently though that were dog slow, all of them though were running ASP.
I've had a lot of luck diagnosing performance issues by using the FireBug plugin for Fire Fox. There's a "NET" tab on the plugin and it will give you the load time for each item on the page.
Thanks

Why is my Quick Preview taking ages to load

I am finding the Quick Preview in Aperture is taking a long time to load the picture. I have to come out of quick preview to allow the picture to load and be clear. Once it has loaded, I can go back in to QP and it works as expected. Until I try to open the next picture.
This has only started recently.Is it something to do with looking at masters instead of versions?

My first (and perhaps only) guess is that you have (perhaps inadvertently) set Aperture to not create Previews (or deleted them).
What happens if you select all the images in a Project and execute "Photos→Update Previews"? Does Aperture do anything? Are you then able to quickly move through them using Quick Preview?

EXS24 taking ages to load samples in Logic 9

I think in the old days, there was a Project Manager to help reduce sample loading times. Has this feature disappeared? My sampler is taking 10 minutes to load a sample. Once it has loaded once, and I quit and reopen, it loads instantly. Is there a way to set the folder paths and scan all in one go?
Thanks in advance.

Here's how to sort out Spotlight:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Spotlight.
Click the Privacy tab.
Drag your hard drive(s) to the list.
Remove the item or volume you just added. (select and use the minus button under the list)
Spotlight will begin reindexing the volume(s) shortly(< 1min) after. The reindexing can take 5 to 20 minutes per volume, roughly, depending on the speed of of your Mac, disks and how full the disk(s) is(are).
Also, if you have a FAT32/windows/bootcamp partition, exclude that from Spotlight indexing permanently (=leave it on the Privacy list).

ITunes takes ages to load, then is really slow.

So I've been trying to use iTunes the past day and it's been taking ages to load and then is really slow when its opened. I used the most recent version of iTunes 11. Uninstalled, Reinstalled. Deleted preferenced, Reinstalled. Using iTunes 10 (which worked very well in the past). Finally I gave up and factory reset my PC. And STILL the symptoms are here. My question to the community is if anyone else is experiencing this.
PC Specs:
i5 650 3.2GHz
12GB RAM
1TB HDD
nVidia GeForce GTX460 SE
So it's nothing to do with my hardware's capability.

Small update...
WHen Itunes did eventually load... a few odd things happened.
1. The icons on my toolbar flicked to white / blank and then came back
2. Windows Update sprang into life and asked me to install 1 important update
3. I got an error message
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
5. I clicked Yes...
6. It said it was checking my itunes library
7. I got a message The Bonjour service has been disabled. Bonjour is required to share music with others. Please re-enable the service to use this feature
8. This didn't seem to bad so clicked OK
9. BUt then Itunes disappeared again. It is still running in processes but isn't open.
Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skype takes ages to load and sign in

Skype is taking ages to load and sign in. It has got progressively worse with each new version

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Firefox takes ages to load, refresh page 3x before or just doesnt respond

when i got to some sites, firefox green progress bar loads but near end just takes a while, i need to keep refreshing. IE9 works fine so it's not ISP taking ages as i am on DSL2

If you click a link then Firefox may only be showing the URL on the location bar if at least there is a connection to the server.
If you are on Linux then it should take minutes before the connection times out, at least that is what I see (on Windows it is only 20 seconds). This might be different in case the connection drops.
There should be a try again button of the net error page to reload this link.
Don't you see such a button?
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

When im playing any games it takes ages to load and then crashes it is very annoying

Right excample facebook games when i play they take ages to load it also keeps saying i need to update flash player which ive done severl times a day and makes no difference then it will just bo of and say page could not be found please reload . Even when i try to open firefox 4 its very slow and then might open 2 or 3 pages at a time

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

Every time Firefox opened

Try a clean install of Firefox on your Linux machine.
# Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
# Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
*Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
3. [www.getfirefox.com Download Firefox] again and install it
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux Installing Firefox in Linux]
If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.

Unlike Internet Explorer, Firefox taking forever to load attachments! Why? Fix?

A few months ago, Firefox started taking FOREVER to load attachments to email. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, but that didn't help. I've done all other trouble shooting steps....rebooted computer.....cleared cache, cookies, and history.......run anti-virus checks......defragged.....etc.
If I use Internet Explorer for outgoing emails with attachments there are no challenges.
I love Firefox and want to use it.....help, please!

You are running Windows 7, correct?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

MOVIE IS TAKING FORVER TO LOAD

The movie we rented 'Captain America : The Winter Soldier' is taking FOREVER to load. The screen said we had to wait for one minute.. after 15 minutes we signed out and in again. Now, the movie is going but keeps pausing to load every 15 seconds or so.
Please help, thanks.

You may have to try & connect with the internet modem or router directly if
your connection is currently wi-fi; an Ethernet cable would allow a faster
download of files from the internet. And if you are attempting to load items
that may choose to stream and your ISP does not have the bandwidth for
your account status (or you are in an over-age situation with monthly ceiling)
there may be a need to contact the ISP and see what they suggest about it.
Did you use any online tests to see what kind of bandwidth up/down you have?
If you have a second device that uses the same internet connection, and it is
OK, that may indicate the source of the file may be overloaded with demand
on their servers, or some other issue in how your Mac is configured.
Your internet provider should be able to tell you the status of your monthly use
and if your movies are using up your allotment; even with an unlimited account
there are limits. Or there may be technical difficulties with download site/servers.
Hard to say the cause or offer a cure when there isn't enough information given.
