Boot Problem! Slow start up, shut down and wake from sleep mode.

I have a MBP late 2009. I used it a long time whit Snow Leopard, few month ago i did an upgrade to Mavericks.
To start up it takes 30-40 seconds until appear the apple logo. Then 2 minutes more to start up the sistem.
When I wake the machine from sleep mode it takes 40 seconds to be working.
Shut down 40 seconds.
Even sometime it get frezze using only Safari.
Things I have tried:
Reinstall Snow Leopard (clean install)
Install Mavericks (clean install)
Replace the HD
¿Any idea?
Sorry for mi poor English

Chepoka,
have you ensured that all of your installed software is compatible with Mavericks?
If you boot into Safe mode, does it still take 40 seconds to awaken from sleeping, or to shut down? (It will take longer to start up in Safe mode because it will perform “sanity checks” on your boot disk.)
If you have a bootable external disk with Mavericks installed, use Startup Manager to boot from the external disk. Does it take just as long to boot, awaken from sleep, and shut down from the external disk as it does from the internal disk?

  • X230 shuts down when return from sleep mode

    Hi, 
    a week ago I am facing with a problem - I am entering the laptop in sleep mode, just closing the screen, and when I open the screen (expecting that the laptop should wake up) it starts usual OS boot from scratch, not hibernate.
    How to troubleshoot?
    win7 x64
     As I remember about 2 weeks ago I installed new VMWare player, latest power manager drivers.

    Hi Barabas,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that your Lenovo ThinkPad X230 is restarting while you try to wake it up from sleep.
    Go to control panel -> Power options -> Click on choose what closing the lid does (on the left side of the window) -> Select sleep -> OK.
    If the above settings are as recommended, update your BIOS and Intel Management Engine firmware to the latest versions from Lenovo Support page. Enter your MTM number in the “Quick Path” and download the drivers.
    Try reseating your memory. Try running the system with only one memory if you have multiple RAM in your system.
    Hope this helps!
    Best regards,
    Mithun.

  • Boot up and wake from sleep noise from superdrive normal???

    whenever booting up or waking from sleep, the superdrive seems to make a loud, not grinding, but close to grinding noise.
    this noise is on other mbp's that i tested at the apple store, but it's really annoying, like your drive is about to die.
    this happens every time on boot up and wake from sleep. do others find this acceptable or normal?
    everything else is great. i do have the cpu idle whine, but it's intermittent and running the mirror widget definitely resolves the issue until the next restart.

    that's really unfortunate. coming from pc side of computing, i don't recall such an awful sound when booting up laptops tha t had similar drives.
    as for previous apple notebooks, i could only comment on the ibook g3 model which had a more pleasing mechanical sound...kind of like whirring(although not a superdrive).
    also, a car cd player mechanism is much smoother and much more quiet. apple should pay more attention to this area like bmw does.
    the only solution is to keep a cd or dvd loaded in the drive, but peace and quiet comes at the expense of battery longevity.

  • Abnormal Start-up Screen Appearing after wake from Sleep Restart

    I have started to have this problem with my MacbookPro where I will come back and wake try and wake from sleep and nothing. The computer is off or unresponsive. Upon restart I get an abnormal start up screen which looks like this image that I snagged with my camera:
    http://www.creativetantrum.com/screen.jpg
    In all my years of using a Mac I have never seen anything like this. And the MBP never gets pass the screen I have to hard restart and it launches into this screen:
    http://www.creativetantrum.com/startup.jpg
    and runs through to the login screen.
    Previously I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC(?) as well as running Cocktail on the machine. Those sequences seemed to resolve the issue for at least a day. The only thing I have done that I can think may have caused this is I play a game called "Ouba" that runs in 640 x 480 or some low resolution that the MBP seems to resemble upon restart.
    Also upon restart I am given an opportunity to send Apple a message regarding the crash. Here is what it sends:

    the settings are done via Terminal commands or through a widget (i know there is "deepsleep" and i think another)
    you should be able to find the terminal command through reading about the different sleep modes, if not try goggling "changing sleep mode on mac" and that should show you. if you cant find it let me know and ill try to dig it back up.
    the MBPs are standard with safe sleep, the older lap tops used quick sleep. there is not way to change them through the standard system in a GUI, it has to be done via code (very easy because you can just copy and paste it in)

  • Shut down and wake up problem

    Frustrating problems with my T410i (2518) with Win7 64bit.
    First I can't get it shut down propertly, when shuting down from  inside windows it starts to shut down but never finish.
    It stays with processor fan active and some of the LED's, like WiFi and Batery also the fingerprint reader led is active in green. Only way to shut down is to press and hold the power button, or just take off the batery.
    Secondly, and most probably some how related to above, if the PC goes in to Sleep/Hibernate there is no way I can wake it up. Just to shut down like abowe and start from begining.
    And more stratnge is that it goes down even if the current power scheme is set to _never_ shut down anything.
    I tried to follow old post in the forum regarding similar problems but still the same...
    System drivers is ans long as I can updated to latest versions.
    The only thing I havent been sucessful with is the patch KB981112 - refused by Windows with the message "Application refused on this PC".
    Any one got a hint of how to proceed?
    PS
    Lenovo support has noting to say, except > "just make sure every thing is updated..."

  • Shutting down and rebooting from xfce4 (SOLVED)

    I am wanting to shut down and reboot my system via xfce4. right now the two buttons are grayed out. I tried added myself to the power group by doing
    gpasswd -a username power
    That didn't seem to do anything at all. On the wiki, it talks about using dbus and hal (as an alternative to doing the sudo method) but i already have dbus and hal started by default and the two buttons are still grayed out.
    if there is already a message like this please guide me there. Any help would be appreciated.
    CORRECTION: adding myself to the "power" group did work.

    Strange - I used the sudo-hack and it worked for me. But after it stopped working, I saw the new instructions and enabled both hal and dbus and voila, everything worked.
    I did not add myself to the sys-group, so it should be something else. Did you install the whole xfce4-package or did you select certain packages? check if '# /etc/rc.d/hal restart' and '# /etc/rc.d/dbus restart' change anything...
    Zl.
    Fyi: i installed xfce4 and xfce4-goodies. I'll try your codes now.

  • 2012 iMac 27" fails to boot AND wake from sleep

    Hi all,
    My 2012 iMac has recently started giving my trouble when booting and waking from sleep.
    When booting - A normal power up results in the apple logo screen being stuck, then I have to hold down the power button for a few seconds until power off, then i power it back up and the computer boots up normally. NOTE: only at the second time does the computer succeed in getting past the apple logo screen to the sign in screen.
    Waking from Sleep - When ever the mac goes to sleep he doesn’t seem to be able to wake up. Usually stuck on a black screen with just the spinning wheel shown. At times i waited more then an hour to see if he can get passed the black screen but in vain.
    Other then that the mac works fine.
    Both issues started roughly two weeks ago and roughly at the same time.
    My mac is mostly used for work, I'm familiar with computers so I am trying to be extra careful with installing weird applications but you could never know..
    SPEC:
    Late 2012 iMac 27'' - 3.4 Ghz i7.
    16GB RAM.
    1TB Fusion drive.
    2GB NVIDIA GTX 680MX
    Wired keyboard and a Magic mouse.
    Mountain Lion 10.8.5 (Updated and backed up on a regular basis)
    Things I've tried:
    Boot to Recovery and Repair Disk/Permissions.
    Safe Boot.
    SMC reset.
    PRAM reset.
    * The first two produced a single case of a normal start up, but after a shut down the problem remains.
    Any ideas/thoughts/help would be much appriciated,
    Thanks in advance,
    Idan.

    Bump.

  • G5 shuts down when startup (from sleep) with mouse. Ok with spacebar

    Hello Board,
    I just moved my G5 across Texas and now it shuts down when I use mouse to wake from sleep. Space bar will wake ok. Original power supply crashed and Apple replaced soon after I bought in "06. No other problems. It is connected to battery backup.
    Thanks for any and all responses.

  • IMac shuts down when put in Sleep mode

    Computer works fine but when I put it in "sleep" mode in shuts down and cannot be restarted without unplugging and starting over. Once started it works fine again until the next "sleep".
    Anything I can try before backing everything up and heading for the Apple store ?

    Disconnect all devices except for the keyboard & mouse if you have not done so.
    Try this:
    Change the energy saving options, to put the display to sleep and the computer to sleep at the same time.
    Enable (check mark) put the hard disk to sleep when possible.
    Lock the padlock.
    Optional: Repair permissions &/or restart.
    ==============
    Check your Energy Saver settings to make sure they are correct.
    If your computer came w/a remote, test the remote sleep option to determine if your issue is repeated.

  • OS X 10.7.3 WiFi Update for iMacs and Wake from Sleep Problem

    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501
    Apple has released a software update for those suffering from the iMac wake from sleep/wifi connection issue that resulted from updating to 10.7.3. It fixes the problem for me and several others. For those still suffering this issue, download it and see how it works!

    To answer my own question it seems a workaround is to wake the iMac up using the power button rather than the keyboard. The WiFi reconnects this way.

  • Etch A Sketch Problem - failure to wake from sleep mode

    My iMac fails to recover from sleep mode.  I have only noticed the problem when it has been left in sleep mode overnight.  When I try to wake it, the last screen viewed appears.  The mouse moves the cursor, but a trail of dark grey is made as you move the cursor.  It operates much like an Etch A Sketch.  When the power button is pressed, the log-in screen appears.  After logging in, the iMac seems to operate properly.  This just started last week.  I haven't loaded any new programs.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  What is the cause and a possible solution?

    Here's the article,  review the bottom of the article.

  • File vault and wake from sleep

    I had File Vault on ever since I got my Macbook Pro. It has always been slow to sleep and to wake from sleep -- sometimes taking 30 seconds. Then I turned File Vault and encryption of virtual memory off. Now the Macbook Pro wakes from sleep instantly. Can anyone explain what accounts for the difference?

    Hi, Daniel.
    You MacBook Pro employs Safe Sleep. An educated guess would be that using one or both of FileVault or Encrypted VM might incur an additional delay for encryption of the sleepimage file.
    Since it is easy to enable or disable Encrypted VM, try turning that back on and seeing if the delay returns. If so, that was the cause. If not, then it would FileVault.
    Good luck!

  • Lion, external monitor, and wake from sleep - please help!

    For the most part I love Lion.  However, the changes they made to the external monitor support are not helpful for me.  Let me explain...
    I have a 13" 2009 MBP.  In my office I use a monitor stand that the laptop can slide into from either the left or the right, and the monitor sits on top.  Previously I would simply take my closed MBP in sleep mode, slide it under the stand, and plug everything in.  Once the power cord and monitor cable were plugged in, as soon as I inserted something into the USB or SD-Card slot (or I think even the ethernet jack) the laptop would wake from sleep and the monitor would come on.
    Now, however, this doesn't happen.  My only option is to plug everything in, open the laptop so it wakes up, then close the lid, then slide it into the stand.  This is definitely NOT an improvement!  Before I had my phone at the left of the monitor stand, and would slide the laptop in from the right.  Now, though, I have no choice but to slide it in from the left (after going through the above hassel), which means I had to move the phone off of my desk.
    The energy saving preferences have the "wake on network access" box checked, which would make me think that it would wake up as soon as the ethernet cord is plugged in - but no such luck.  I also have wireless in the office, but it's hard for it to recognize that when it's in sleep mode.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a solution I'm missing here?  I'm using a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, so of course those won't do anything while the computer is asleep.

    I'm beginning to hate Lion because of this one problem. It's great that Lion doesn't sleep when you close the laptop with external monitor connected. But I can no longer wake the external monitor with USB mouse movement. I have to open and close the lid. This is very inconvenient when switching between two systems with KVM. The MacBook is awake; it just won't wake the monitor.

  • Continuously re-starting or shutting down and booting up iMac

    Will anything bad happen to the iMac or drive or anything like that if you restart your iMac several times every five minutes? I ask because a friend was having trouble with opening something and re-started his iMac 6 times in a row in hopes of being able to run something better. Will this have damaged anything like the hard disk or drive?
    Thanks!

    Jesse Smith wrote:
    What is processor control, though?
    When you click on "Shut Down" or "Restart" in the system menu (the left corner of the menu bar), OS-X tells the Intel processor to run a program that brings the machine down gracefully -- turning things off in the proper order. Holding down the "power button" to force a shutdown does the same thing -- the button doesn't turn off the power, it just tells the processor to run the shutdown program. The program turns off the power when it's finished.
    OTOH, if you just "pull the plug," everything suddenly loses power without having a chance to "tidy up" before the lights go out. If that happens in the middle of a partially-completed write to disk, you can easily end up with a corrupted file system. No permanent hardware damage, but the machine might not be able to reboot -- until you re-install the OS.

  • Slow start up & shut down, freezes randomly, sleep issues

    My mother has an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.8 GHz, model iMac8,1, with 4 GB RAM, and a 300 GB hard drive. She uses this computer primarily for email and the internet, and some writing using Pages. So on her hard drive, only 22 GB is used, and the rest is free. She is on OS 10.6.8.
    She originally had 2 GB RAM so I thought the lack of RAM was causing her issues. So I recently installed 4 GB RAM, but she's still having problems.
    A few of the problems are:
      •  She'd be typing an email and the monitor will suddenly go black.
      •  Safari and Mail sometimes are really slow to load, and often we get the spinning beachball.
      •   Random freezes, especially in Safari, Mail and Pages.
      •   It takes a long time to go to sleep.
      •   It takes a long time to start up and/or shut down.
    When the computer freezes, she'd try to restart it, and when that fails, she'd try to manually shut it down by pressing and holding the power button. Sometimes that doesn't even work and she ends up unplugging it.
    She still has the same issues, even with the 4 GB of RAM. Her iMac is 2.8 GHz but seems very slow to me (and my MacBook Pro is only 2.0 GHz!)
    I ran the Tech Tool Deluxe that she has with the extended Apple Care, and everything passed. I was also concerned about the hard drive's S.M.A.R.T. status, but Disk Utility reported that the S.M.A.R.T. status was verified. I ran the Apple Hardware test in Extended Mode, and everything passed. I also reset the SMC too, along with the PRAM. And of course repaired permissions. PageOuts are zero, and was even zero before increasing the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB.
    I checked Console, and I did find a few weird items that came up often:
    com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.Fax#lookup
    /usr/bin/fax
    So I deleted the first one, but was unable to find the second one to delete. I figured it was from my mother's old all-in-one HP which has since been replaced with an Epson, as it seemed to be looking for a fax number or something. I had hoped all my work along with the new RAM would solve the problems but they haven't.
    Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions.

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
    /private/var/run/StartupItems
    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
