Q: FaceTime and iMessages slow to load

I recently(last week) updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 and have nothing but issues with iMessage and FaceTime loading. all of my Macs worked perfectly before. FaceTime came up instantly when receiving a call on my iPhone. Now it takes 90 -240 seconds to load and by then the call goes to VM. When I launch iMessages same load times?

 

Is this a common issue with Yosemite 10.10.3? I hope they have an update soon. I will also say I am noticing other smaller issues with load times, disk repair and repair preferences) takes like 15 minutes, like it gets hung up. Just lots of little issues with seamless operation between all devices and especially my MacBook Air and iMac. all of which were updated to the new IOS and New Yosemite.

 

Again, all of of my Mac and device were in tip top shape and running PERFECTLY before the install of OS X 10.10.3

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

A:

I have exactly this issue after upgrading to 10.10.3 as well. I've managed to track down what appears to be an important clue -- if I turn off all of the Contacts that are coming in from external services (Google and iCloud in my case) iMessage and FaceTime open instantly. If I add back in just iCloud, iMessage opens in about 15 seems. If I add in Google as well launch time slows to 40 seconds. Seems pretty clear that Messages and FaceTime in 10.3.3 are doing some sort of time consuming contacts scan on startup.

    This immediately resolved my issues. I have over 2,000 contacts and it was taking over a minute to launch FaceTime. As soon as I disabled the contact sync FaceTime now launches instantly similar to what one user was reported when they log into their Guest account.

     

    Thanks tomconrad!

     

    This issue only occurred when I updated to 10.10.3.

    I had Contacts linked to:

     

    1. Active Directory - which could not talk unless I was on the corporate network
    2. DavMail - which is some god awful slow but functional
    3. FaceBook - because I could
    4. Google - because I could
    5. Personal Server - for shared family information
    6. U.S. Army - 3M heroes, good stuff.

     

    Disabled all and WOW, Contacts now launches normally instead of stalling with blank display, FaceTime still sluggish, but faster.
