Delays in the start up

Two days ago my iMac began to take more than 2 minutes to start.  It is the initial tone until you see the white Apple.   Then another minute or so to load.  Never encountered this problem before.  I installed a few months ago to El Capitan.  No other recent changes.  I called the Apple Support.  I deleted the caches, etc. on his instructions - more than 11 K elements.  No change.  The next step was to reload my software system, she said.  I don't have 100 percent confidence in his advice.   Any ideas?

If you have apps start automatically when you start your Mac, that may be what is causing the narrow boot time.

Open system preferences > users and groups > login items

Remove an element and a time then reboot to test.

Also, make sure that El Capitan is up-to-date. Open system preferences > App Store, and then click check now.

  • Delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen

    The problem I have is this, whenever I start my PC there is a delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen. The screen does not freeze or anything just ten minutes to bring up the Log In screen.

  • Windows xp sp3 delay at the start after login

    I have a windows xp sp3 with 2 GB of RAM and 250 GB HDD to 45-50minutes to load after I entered my user name and password.

    Please, how can I solve this problem. I checked the hard drive for errors, and the system will load faster on e-safe. Mode
    Concerning
    DOE

    To connect to your computer, there are a lot of programs, processes and services launch.  It is likely that one or more of these processes contributes to your delay.  The first criterion would be starting for a minimum system.  This is what we call 'Safe Mode'.  When you start your computer, several times, press the F8 key until a black and white screen comes up, and then select "safe mode" or "safe mode with networking" with the arrow keys and starts.  If your computer starts up fairly quickly, then we the non-critical elements that contribute.

    To debug this, you use a program that will show you all the programs that start at startup and allow you to temporarily cut some of them to determine what (s) is / are the cause of the problem.   Microsoft has a built-in program called "msconfig" or you can download another program called "autoruns" from Microsoft

  • How to create a delay between the start of the signal simulated one and the other?

    Hello

    As a first step, I am relatively new to Labview.

    I am trying to use Labview for 2 different output square waves (different frequencies, amplitudes, etc.).  I've implemented 2 signals to simulate different and do them in a While loop, however, when I start the program, I need a square to begin signal immediately and the other to start square waves 2 seconds later.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    A few questions.

    Are these frequencies of associated signals? If so, were they to be "in phase"?   As from one simulation after another, put one start later in a case statement, pass a county of timer to establish the initial start time through the loop, subtract the value of the other in the loop, when the difference is => in 2 seconds, set a real flag and have the second simulation in the real of the structure of the business case.

  • How can I impliment a delay between the analog output and analog input (started by an external analog trigger)?

    I am acquiring several channels of analog voltage input at the same time, I need to send an output analog two seconds after the start of the entry.

    I'm running an experience with accelerometers on a query table.
    I start the trigger and the table remains still for two seconds, which allows a reference level for all sensors.
    Then the output signal of the VI removes the break in the motor controller.
    The speed measured by the encoder is sent to one of the input channels.

    In this way, our accel and speed data are synchronized.

    After it acquired the analog input data out put must be reset to zero.

  • Record significantly delays the start of the application registered

    Hi all the

    I have the demo version of Captivate 4 and I bought the real version. I can't support until I have save the product, but given its cost, I want to assure you that Captivate works the way I need it.

    I am trying to record the screen of an application of 1280 x 1024. Other products seem to have no problems, especially of Camtasia. When I use Captivate, it delays considerably the 10 original of the request-20times, is almost unusable. I don't know if it's my fault. I use lots of movement, the application updates automatically screen, and I need to capture these updates requiring no input or the user's mouse movements. I don't care if the file is very important.

    Any Suggestions?

    Doug

    Hi Doug

    If there is anything I've learned in life, it's nothing but honesty. So I'm going to be honest here.

    I eagerly using Captivate, but so full of movement, that's what you're after, Camtasia is unquestionably the superior product and you'll probably be much happier using it. Complete movement with Captivate has come a long way from where it once was, but Camtasia is King when it comes to full motion capture.

    Sometimes I enregistrer record with Camtasia, then mix it with Captivate by dropping what I recorded in a Captivate slide.

    Personally, my vote is to have both applications in my quiver. Then recognize the combinations strong each and each use as appropriate. I compare this to the saw, that I might have in my garage. All saws cut wood. But a saw runs circles around a table saw for accurate angle cuts. Similarly, nothing is comparable to a table saw to rip directly to the long sections.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Coincide the start of digital and analogue tasks in c#

    Hi all

    I cannot synchronize the start of an analogue and digital output special in c#. Specitifically, I created a task master analog output and output a task digital slave that uses the sample of the task of the AO clock. Everything works fine except there is always a random between signals delay because they are triggered to start separately in the software. I would like to start both tasks with the same trigger signal.

    I think that I should do something like:

    digitalTask.Triggers.StartTrigger.ConfigureDigitalEdgeTrigger("Dev2/ao/StartTrigger",DigitalEdgeStartTriggerEdge.Rising);

    analogTask.Start ();

    but DAQmx is throwing an error message saying that my source Tigger is not valid. What is the correct idea? What is the exact syntax for inputing the source of relaxation. Thanks a lot for all the help!

    -Jon

    Hi Jon-

    If you have the sample shared between the two tasks clock, you should be able to start the slave task first, in this way when the master task starts, the task of the slave will begin taking samples on the same edge of clock.  You should not use a trigger to start.

    However, if you try to import an external trigger, connect to a PFI line and specify "Dev2/PFI0' as the command source for the two tasks (or whatever the PFI line you've hooked the trigger until the).

    I hope this helps.  Good luck with your application!

  • Possible to set up buffer - delay in the implementation of large number of buffers - IMAQ trigger problem

    Hi all

    I thought that I could transfer it here because it might be a more appropriate forum. I have a bit of time pressure, so I hope someone can help me. I'm having a problem with a program that I wrote to acquire and store images from a camera to linear scan.

    My camera (SUI Goodrich, 1024 pixels) is connected to a card framegrabber (PCIe-1427), which is connected via a RTSI cable to a PCI-6731 card attached to a SCC-68 (series) connector M.  My goal is to drive a mirror galvanometer scanning and acquire images from the camera continuously on each scan. As the galvo scan will be the frame of an image (1024 pixels x 1024 lines).

    I managed to do it (I think), as my direct purchase program works exactly as I expected. However, when I try to save the images, I noticed that for a larger number of images, the starting point of the image is shifted the same amount for each image. I'm not really sure what's going on, it seems to me that there is a delay in the use of the VI "IMAQ set up buffer" when a larger number of buffers is used, (or even 100). Is it possible that my hardware trigger does not wait for all buffers to be configured before you start to run?

    I would really appreciate any idea or ideas that anyone could have on this issue.

    Sincere greetings,

    Gill

    I fixed the problem by doing that I don't use actually 1000 stamps to save 1000 frames. Program works if the number of buffers is lowered.

  • How to synchronize the start of IT and relaxation the Scan list (DAQmx Switch)

    Hello

    I want to measure samples of N to the AI0 of Council NI PXI 4461. The measurement starts on a rising edge of a digital triggering provided to the PFI0 of the same Board. The measure is configured with samples of N/2 pretrigged. So far, everything is under control...

    Using an NI PXI 2567 Board, the signal applied at the entrance the 4461 (AI0) switches between a V2 and V1 signal. I would like to synchronize the switch between the two signals with the trigger signal applied to the input of the PFI0 Governing Council 4461. In order to obtain samples of N/2 of V1 and V2 samples N/2. Synchronization of 1 to 5 ms would suffice!

    My question is how to synchronize the start of acquisition of AI pretrigged of 4461 with the switch control given by the Council of 2567?

    Thank you in advance for your help...

    PS: the configuration of the system is:

    -LabView 8.5

    -Chassis PXI-1044

    PXI-4461 on slot 2

    Module 4-slot PXI-2567

    Hi Frederic,.

    I came back to this recently and used the following examples to run the desired synchronization.

    PXI-4461: Acq & graph tension-Int Clk - dig Start & Ref .vi

    Samples per channel = 1000

    Rate (Hz) = 10000.00

    Start the trigger Source = / [name of the instrument DAQmx] / PXI_Trig0

    Onboard start = fall

    Reference Source Trigger = DAQmx Device Name] / PXI_Trig0

    Reference edge = fall

    Trigger samples = Variable (100, 500, 900)

    PXI-2567: Switch Scaning-SW Trigger.vi

    Advance the output terminal full = / [name of the instrument DAQmx] / PXI_Trig0

    Scan list = / [name of the instrument DAQmx] / ch0-> com0.

    Scan list = / [name of the instrument DAQmx] / ch1-> com1;

    Hardware configuration:

    The PXI-2567 module controls an external relay that switches between the voltage of 5 V on ch0 and ch1 0 V.

    The PXI-4461 connects to the COM of the external relay and therefore reads 5V when ch0 is connected; 0 v when ch1 is connected.

    Procedure: The above examples are used in the following procedure.

    1. run the PXI-4461 VI.  A start trigger (falling edge) is necessary to start collecting samples before firing.

    2. launch the module, PXI - 2567 VI.  When ch0 is initially (and immediately) on com0, a trigger is sent to PXI_Trig0.  The PXI-4461 will begin to acquire samples before firing.

    3. - click on the "Connect to the next" button on the front of the PXI - 2567 VI module.  This sends a trigger to entry software for the PXI-2567 module and the transitions of the scan for ch1-> com1 list.  Once the PXI-2567 module remains (debounced), advanced complete relaxation is sent on PXI_Trig0 for the PXI-4461.  The PXI-4461 will begin to acquire samples after outbreak.

    Note: Instead of the trigger of the software entry, an external input trigger can be used (e.g. PXI_Trig1).

    Results:

    > Before instant release of samples = 100

    Delay is caused by the time of actuation of external relay.

    > Before instant release of samples = 500

    Delay is caused by the time of actuation of external relay.

    > Before instant release of samples = 900

    Delay is caused by the time of actuation of external relay.

    I hope that the attached screws and the explanation above helps you and/or other customers who have this problem.

  • How can I create a loop with delays in the series?

    Hi all

    So I wrote a Labview program to control both machines. Very simply, one is a source of tension, and the other is a Lock-In amplifier. What I want to do is change the applied voltage, wait a few seconds for the response of GARLIC to settle, then take a number of measures of GARLIC, then those on average and save to file.

    Here is a flowchart of what I mean:

    I did it for the most part, but I'm having a little trouble with the delay. VI file is huge, so I tried to make a simplified architecture that shows the basics of what I do:

    (The string and the constant matrix constants aren't actually what I use, it's just to illustrate, because I don't know how to make a quick easy space reserved for diagrams... is there an easy way?)

    So my assumption here (and it seems that it is happening) is that, for each iteration more outside of the loop, the first thing it does is start the countdown and start the change applied voltage/etc. at the same TIME, right?

    And then he only goes in the loop of measure LIA once she completed both of these tasks, right? (Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

    Then, how would make a delay after the loop of measure LIA? If what I've said so far is correct, then if I put a 'waiting' in the main loop, I don't think that it works (or at least not be very specific) because he would begin as soon as the iteration, would therefore be cash while GARLIC measured, and so do not wait the right amount of time after the loop LIA was finished (if I even put that it is long enough that it was still underway after This loop was completed).

    Am I correct in what I said?

    What is the smart way to do this?

    Thank you!

    You're right about the order data flow, which is usually the fall of most starting LabVIEW developers.

    To add a wait behind the inside loop, ask a node pending within a structure (the simplest being a structure flat sequence) and add some sort of data flow from the output of this loop to the structure of waiting. This will force this structure will not work until the loop ends.

    That being said, there is a better way to do this. Look in the Simple State Machine with LabVIEW 2012 and more recent architecture model.

    Edit: NIquist beat me to it.
