    i'm having a problem with apps slowly launching after my comp has been either shut down or in sleep mode. it seems once the apps launch it works fine and if i shut down the app and then re-launch it it starts up much faster. i'm not talking about minutes here i'm talking like 5-10 seconds vs. 1-2 seconds but non the less it's very noticeable. i talked to a an apple care rep and she said when the comp first boots up it will take a little longer for apps to launch....what do you think? or is it in my head!

    yea, when my comp first turns on itll take programs like 5 seconds to start up. After ive launched, quit, and relaunched it takes like 1 second.

    well when someone pays their hard earned money for a piece of equipment I want the darn thing to run perfect or near perfect.

    I just dont remember it doing that when i first got it and then last week it just seemed to be acting a little funny :confused:

    Your asking for too much. That's a very fast start up time for applications, especially when its waking from sleep or starting up.

    relax its normal. i think its how much ram you have. even with 1.5 gigs the app still initially has to write to the ram but if you close and re-open, the info is still there and loads much faster. at least i think that is whats going on

    Does having more mp3s/files slow system?

    Just wanted to add that , i have around 5gb of mp3 transfered to my brand new mac along with some software i installed etc.
    I did notice a slight delay in boot time opening programs when restarting the system etc as opposed to when i got my imac brand new.

    Does it all depend on the ram?(i have 1gb) for things to run faster.
    Or does it depend on all the files that are cramed into into the harddrive.

    What if my mp3 are stored on an external hardddrive would that make a difference in speed of the mac booting up?

    I have an ONYX program that does some harddrive permission etc etc and it seems to help a bit in speeding up i guess.

    I know most mac programs are memory hungry and one can see it in the dashboard widgets.

    any comments.
