6 minutes to boot computer

For the last week to 10 days, by MacBook is running SO SLOW. I have done a disk repair, and a disk permissions repair, and it seems that all is supposedly OK. But SOMETHING is wrong. I timed by boot up and it took 6 minutes from pushing the button to no more beach ball. Safari takes 2 minutes to load. What should I try next? I abandoned the world of PC because of this very kind of problem, but I don't think it ever got THIS bad! And I have only had this MacBook for a year!

Thanks Brody and Cathy,
I have my documents, music, pictures and Library copied to 2 different places. If there is something else you think I am missing, please let me know.
My computer is 1 year and 3 weeks old, and I did not buy the apple care.
Per Cathy's suggestion I have opened the Console. There are a LOT of entries, here's what I see that looks like it might be referencing a problem:

Hi ..
Remove all items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items then restart to see if that makes a differrence.
If not, go to /Library/StartupItems. Remove any items in the StartupItems folder then restart your Mac.
Make sure there's sufficient storage space.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow your Mac down.
If installed, anti virus software can slow the system down.

Computer takes 20 minutes to boot.

My PC takes about 20 minutes to boot, and if it even does boot. It gets stuck at the BIOS start up with the MSI 8Xtreme Series Intel on the black screen, and just sits there.. Is there a way to move some jumpers and reset the BIOS to factory defaults, if that is even the problem. Please if anyone has ANY idea about how to take care of this, im willing to do anything, Im sitting here in college, neededing to write this paper, and my Laptop has a small screen compaired to my desktop. Thanks
-Joe
PS. The PC dosnt even get past that part it seems... Please help!!

Remove all the hardware (PCI cards, USB devices, HDDs, CDROMs etc..) and only keep the bare minimum yuo need (memory, CPU, VGA card).
Don't even connect a mouse and KB to it.
Does it work normally (give you a KB error message probably) ?
Try another KB if it seems ok (and make sure you plug it in the right place), don't overlook any detail in such cases.

Mavericks Takes 4-5 Minutes to Boot

I recently reinstalled Mavericks on my iMac and transferred my settings/datas from a Time Machine backup. Everything seems to run just fine, but it takes 4-5 minutes to boot. I thought it could have something to do with permissions and ACLs since I also changed my home folder name. After following step 1 provided here http://discussions.apple.com/thread/5275515?tstart=0 my system took the usual 15-30 seconds to reboot on the first try but back to 4-5 minutes each time afterwards.
Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks!

you are welcome
Are you familiar with using the root account under OSX ?
If not, here is how to enable it:
in Finder click on Go in menu
at the top of the Screen from the Go menu select Computer
there click on Macintosh HD <if your harddisk has a different name, choose that name instead>
click on System
click on Library
click on CoreServices
open the app named Directory Utility
in Directory Utility click on Edit in menu at the top of the Screen
from the Edit menu select Enable Root User
you will be asked to enter a password for root
if you want to keep the root account active afterwards, choose a secure and strong password
Now let's get back to the original problem:
Let's assume your current account is called Waldorf and the new one is called Stadler
Log out of your current account and log into the root account
Now open Terminal from the /Programs/Utilities folder
Enter the following commands into terminal one at a time:
cd /Users/waldorf
cp -Rpv Documents/* /Users/stadler/Documents/
cp -Rpv Movies/* /Users/stadler/Movies/
cp -Rpb Music/* /Users/stadler/Music/
cp -Rpv Pictures/* /Users/stadler/Pictures/
Depending on the amount of data contained in Waldorf's home directory, those commands might take some time to complete. Now you need to change the owner of your files to the new account
cd /Users/stadler/
chown -R stadler:staff Documents/
chown -R stadler:staff Downloads/
chown -R stadler:staff Movies/
chown -R stadler:staff Music/
chown -R stadler:staff Pictures/
chown -R stadler:staff Public/
If everything went well, you now can log into the Stadler account and should have all the files from Waldorf and hopefully boot time will be significantly shorter.
It is generally not a bad idea to deactivate the root account again after you have finished. Working with root allows to do things that normally cannot be done in Finder. Yet there is absolutely no safety net (such as the trash bin) and a slight mistake can have grave consequences. If need rises it can be activate in a short moment.

Imac takes 5-6 minutes to boot up

Hello
My 2011 Imac takes 5-6 minutes to boot up. Once it boots up the computer seems to run fine. I have tried several things to try and fix the issue but have had no luck. Any advice would be great.
Thank you
Richard

RAM is not the problem. If you refuse to reinstall as suggested, then:
Things You Can Do To Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. 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, then 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.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

MBP 8,1 (10.9.5) freezes approx. 20 minutes after booting.

If I remove one of the two RAM-modules and the MBP runs with only 2GB of RAM, it seems to work, although all processes are much slower. TC backup is not working and when trying to download Mavericks again, the computer freezes again. The freeze-problem does not occur under 10.6, here the MBP works fine. Any suggestions? Am I facing a RAM-module or HDD-problem here? Or something completely different?

Just to clarify the problem: the system only freezes when both 2GB-RAM-modules are installed. If I run the MBP on only 2GBs (no matter, which one), the system does not freeze.
Here is the report from etrecheck:

Please help! 15 or more minutes to boot up......

My iMac 20" takes more than 15 or 20 minutes to boot up. Anybody have any suggestions to solve this problem? Any idea why the computer is lagging?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Hi Roam,
I opened the memory access door and found there are two memory modules, so, I swap them around and retest it. This time I got the error message like follows:
Alert! Apple Hardware Test has detected an error
4MEM/2/40000000:6efa7750
Pass Number:1
Total Time Testing:26secs
Does it mean the Bank/2/ was affected? But when I checked Memory Slot via System Profiler,
I could only see:
Memory Slots Size Type Speed Status
BANK0/DIMM0 2GB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz OK
BANK1/DIMM1 2GB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz OK
It seems to be the same before I retest it......(Sorry, I could not remember exactly.)
Do you think all I have to do is to purchase one new 2GB DDR2 SDRAM memory module and replace the one which was affected?
Andrew

Why does it take 5 minutes to boot up?

Why does y Macbook air takes more than 5 minutes to boot up?

There are a couple of things you can do.
#1: perform a safe boot. shut down your computer and after you hit the power button, hold down the shift key until you get to the login screen.
#2 got to system preferences > startup disk (under system) > then select Macintosh HD then hit restart.
#3 go the the apple logo in the top left-hand corner and select shut down. uncheck the box that says to reopen windows when powered back up.
Hopefully this helps, but if it doesn't, you should take it to apple because that is not normal!

My 2008 imac takes 10 minutes to boot up as far as Blurtooth Setup Assistant it then tries to find my Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and trackpad - and fails! How can I get over this problem?

Post an EtreCheck report of your computer and we can look for obvious issues.

My mac mini takes 5 minutes to boot up

I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now, have always run Mountain Lion on it, but in the last month it takes 5 minutes to boot up when I turn it on (turning on to the log in page). Everything else works fine. I have done Disk Utilities, and the permissions are all fine, I verified the disc and that is all fine. I have two other drives plugged into it, one 500GB USB for Time Machine and one 250GB firewire for data storage and my iTunes items. The Mac Mini is a 2.3GHz processor with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
Any ideas please? 5 minutes is very slow for a computer to boot in 2013. Thanks.

Open Console in Utilities, go to system.log, enter boot or BOOT_ in the filter field. Please post just the bootup sequence, no other messages, of those ~five minutes, from BOOT_TIME, or however it's worded until "setting hostname to "yourusername.local." If the time stamps, which we must see are not included, then post back without posting the log, since it will be useless.

Osx Lion memory leak: my MacBook pro is usable only 10 minutes after boot

Hi all,
10 minutes after boot it works just fine, but then it slows down and take centuries to open any application. Checked with Activity monitor:
on a boot, no user applications running: Free memory: 2,35 Gb, Wired: 459,7 Mb, Active 3 Mb, Inactive: 1,18 Gb
In 10 minutes, idle: Free memory: 8,4 Mb, Wired: 468,1 Mb, Active 2,36 Gb, Inactive: 1,17 Gb
Somehow all the free memory leaks to the active one, without me doing anything. I tried launching several programs to see if the memory will get adjusted accordingly, but it does not. Time machine is stopped. Tried disk repair is CMD+R mode, fixed permissions, killed most of the user processes - no success.
I've installed Lion on top of Snow Leopard a month ago and didnt feel any problems so far... Now my MacBook pro 2,4 GHz is completely useless, finally, after 6 years of seamless work :( Thanks, Lion
Any ideas how to deal with it?
Thanks,

I do not see anything like this on my system which would lead me to believe you may have a defective installation. So, my suggestion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Bios Takes Five Minutes to Boot - 990FXA-GD80

Just built a new computer and from the "get go" the bios has taken approximately five minutes to boot. Error codes are 99 (last 4 minutes) than switches to B4 (last 1 minute) than the system boots just fine. I have been able to update the bios to the most recent verison using the MSI USB flasher tool and I have switched out my ram with a different brand to no avail.
Current System:
MSI 990FXA-GD80
AMD FX-8150
16GB DDR pc2133 G.Skill Ram / Also tried 8GB PNY MD40965D1333
OCZ SSD Hardrive
Western Digital Hardrive
Sapphire 6950 Video Card
I've tried the following:
Updated Bios
Cleared CMOS

On another note, anyone have any thoughts on how I can solve this mouse USB problem?
Yes. Please open a ticket with MSI Tech Support so they are aware of the mouse problem with your mainboard. They can then try & duplicate it & come up with a revision to hopefully correct the incompatibility; http://support.msi.com

My MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) is taking 10 minutes to boot-up. It's also taking much longer to open files. I have 650 GB out of 700 GB left on my machine so it's not that I've overloaded the memory. Is anyone else having this problem?

Look at this comprehensive trouble shooting document;
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
I suggest that you start with SMC and PRAM resets.
Then a Safe Boot.
Ciao.
