Issues: extremely slow start up, occasional green fuzzy screen, doesn't always hibernate and overheats

First off, I should say that I'm not the type of person to shutdown my computer. If anything, I shut it to hiberate. I'm not sure if that's bad pratice or if that's what lead to this over time.. So here's what happens.. Today, I was working away and all of a sudden a fuzzy screen comes up with a little bit of green and then a beeping sound. So I shut it off. This is rare, sometimes the fuzzy screen comes up for a second randomly or when I open my computer from hiberate mode or when I'm just using the computer.
When I turn my computer on,
1. sometimes the 'on' button doesn't work and it takes a few tries (however this hasn't happened in the past few weeks. *knock on wood*)
Once the computer is on the blue screen comes up:
2. which stays on for anywhere from 5-20 minutes.
3. Log in appears with the cursor blinking but I actually can't type anything.. It lags behind sometimes another 20 minutes before my password appears and I could log on.
Checking the message board for similar questions it was recommended that I update the software.
I've tried to get Mavericks on here but I get an error message when it tries to restart the computer and never does so successfully on its own.
I've helped it along and was able to attempt at installing it but I waited a least an hour for it to 'find my disks' with no luck I went the disk utility repair route istead of time machine backup which couldn't find my external or anything for that matter.
The error message I got back was:
invalid block count It should be 21066078 instead of 21066076. Found corrupt needs to be repaired.
Any thoughts or advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Below is my EtreCheck.

Simska,
regarding the overheating, you can try resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller.
Regarding the invalid block count, you should boot from your grey Mac OS X Install DVD which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro, run Disk Utility from it (via the Utilities menu in the menu bar), and select Repair Disk for your internal disk.
After your disk is repaired, exit Disk Utility and restart from your internal disk. When you log in, you should uninstall your installed version of iPhoto Photocast — it was written to work with the Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) SDK, but you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8) installed, so it’s not supported under Snow Leopard. Install in its place an older version of iPhoto Photocast which is compatible with Snow Leopard. You also have an outdated version of Silverlight installed — you can download the most recent version from here.

  • TS3274 Extremely Slow Starting Up

    I have an iPad 2nd Generation that is extremely slow starting up.  I have made sure that all apps are closed and all software is up to date.  Any ideas?

    Before you do anything else backup your computer.
    Next run Apple Hardware Test 3x back to back in extended mode. If any errors appear this confirms a hardware issue and a repair is necessar. Please post back after running AHD in extended mode 3x back to back.

  • Green fuzzy screen -  Any suggestions?

    After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my ipad has been slow and sometimes unresponsive. It was operating very slow today and then the screen went to a green fuzzy screen. Now it's less green and has a pulsing redish box on the home screen. Any suggestions?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I do hope you have recent backup, because it look like your hard disk is failing. You can start up in Recovery Mode, and run Disk Utility to see if the disk can be fixed:  OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  • MacBook Pro extremely slow start up, Rainbow wheel of death. HELP!

    Hi there
    My Mac has just suddenly started becoming very slow. Upgraded to Mavericks 2 months ago. Had an issue at first install that was resolved with re-installation.
    Has become very slow to boot, freezing at the Grey Screen with the Apple and spining cog. (Kernel I think?)
    It is also very slow once logged in. Nothing has changed system wise. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'm not too Mac savvy, so the help is very much appreciated. So here's what I've done...
    Had already tried to delete CleanMyMac. So I got EasyFind, and used it to delete/destroy the rest of the files. Did the same for Roxio, Sierra Wireless and Seagate. PaceAp would have been installed with Pro Tools, which is now gone.
    There are several files associated with Sierra, PaceAp and Seagate (.plist & .bom files) that I cannot delete, as I get an error saying that cannot be deleted.
    Tried Verifying and Repairing Disk Permissions - All was OK
    Ran through the Sleep, then Restart, then Shutdown sequence. Noticed no difference.
    Reset P-Ram.
    Reset SMC
    Rebooted again, holding command + R and ran the disk utility.
    First Verified the disk. Got errors:
    Invalid Directory item count
    Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks
    The volume Machintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    So I then ran Repair disk, it ran through and then said:
    The volume Machintosh HD was repaired successfully.
    The battery condition is normal
      Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh):          5420
      Fully Charged:          Yes
      Charging:          No
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5482
      Health Information:
      Cycle Count:          806
      Condition:          Normal
      Battery Installed:          Yes
      Amperage (mA):          0
      Voltage (mV):          12401
    I then rebooted, but nothing has changed. At the moment it boots to the grey screen with the Apple logo and cogwheel. Takes about 10 mins to then go through to log in. Often the fan will start running as if the system is under load.
    When I click login the rainbow wheel pops up and it freezes for a while. Then it eventually loads the home page. Takes another 10 - 20 mins to load everything, the clock and wifi connections in the top right take ages to load.
    It will be extremely slow for another 20 mins or so. Cant open folders or do simple tasks without getting the rainbow wheel. Then after a little while it seems to run OK, but still sluggish.
    There are no programs that are launched on startup, and I close all programs before shutting the system down. I have over 100 GB free space on the harddrive. Yet I notice in the data from EtreCheck, it states there is only 66 Gb.
    Haven't used Time Machine, as my external harddrive is formatted to FAT32, and I have nowhere to store all its contents to reformat it to Mac Extended Journal.  I have backed up all the files from the system that I need.
    So is there anything else I can try? Should I try a full system wipe and reinstallation? If so, how do I go about this?
    I'm assuming unlike PC's, it's not just a simple task to replace the harddrive, if it is failing hardware?
    I'm in rural Australia, so not readily near a Mac Support Shop. But if it is hardware, I'll just have to figure out some way to get to one.
    Here's the updated info from EtreCheck, if its of any use..
    Thanks again everyone the help, muchos gracias!

  • Extreme slow start up, even after reinstallation of OS

    My MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) started to take several minutes to start up. The desktop comes up but the menus and dock are completely frozen for 3-5 minutes. All I can do is move around the pointer. After a long long wait, everything is back to normal and the computer works just fine.
    After freeing up space, turning of start-up applications, verifying the disk with Disk utility, SMART Utility etc without improvement (disk ok),  I erased the disk completely and reinstalled OS X (version 10.6.8) from original CD. I had to try this 6 times before installation was successful, it just kept freezing in the middle of the installation so I had to start from the beginning erasing the disk. Finally the installation was successful but the same problem persists with 5 minutes frozen desktop after start-up. After that the computer works perfectly. Anybody had a similar experience?

    Since a brand new, clean OS install is not working right, you should verify there is no hardware issue.
    Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and was included with your computer.

    If yours shipped with 10.6.8 follow the instructions on the link.

  • Dreamweaver CC extremely slow start up

    Dreamweaver CC does eventually open, but it stays on the splash screen for about 5 minutes before launching.
    I've tried removing the OOBE folders, using the CC Cleaner Tool to remove Dreamweaver and also deleted my saved website/ftp setup inside the program.
    Nothing is working, please help!

    Reinstalling via the Cleaner Tool is generally a last resort that clears up any possible problem cause by a faulty installation/corruption within the program.
    Does your computer meet the minimum requirements to run it?

    If so, after the slow start, does the program work correctly?

  • Flex 14 green fuzzy screen

    I purchased this laptop in August. I have only had it a few months and half my screen has began to flicker green fuzziness. My computer is still under warranty. What should I do?

    Hi cjohnson88,
    Looking at the screen shot I may have to agree with yigit though. This does look like more a hardware failure. But however before finalize into that conclusion, i was wondering that fuzziness of the screen happens are you still able to move your pointers around or open applications or does your system freezes and put it to a halt until you have to attempt a hard reset ?
    Reason I ask is that based from screen shot it looks as if only the area in the browser or window is affected, so I assuming that this could be software but just wanted to make sure.
    Do let me know.
    Regards

  • T420s + SSD extremly slow start from hibernate

    Hey folks,
    I recently bought a T420s with 80GB SSD and 320GB HDD.Besides the fan noise issue and the crappy display I am at least really happy with the speed - except the following problem: Whenever I want to rewake the notebook from hibernate it takes extremly long, even longer than a normal windows start up - and longer than my 5 year old sony vaio. When loading it displays the Windows 7 animation, having returned to the desktop screen it works immediatly well.
    I'd be glad if there were any suggestions to solve this problem!
    Thank you!
    Chris

    The hiberfil.sys is a hidden file that is located on the root of your boot drive. I guess that would be C:\hiberfil.sys. If you enter command prompt and type "dir c:\ /a" im sure you will find the file. Or change the settings so Windows explorer will see hidden and system files.
    Using a SSD each NAND cell can be erased a limited number of times before it stops reliably holding charge which means it becomes unusable. So you have a limited number of writes using a SSD before it will die. A lot of people sugguest to not use hibernation when using a SSD to prevent additional writes that will wear out the SSD faster. It's not like the SSD will die in a few months, but it will last longer will less writing. So you might want to consider using hibernate or not. Except from standby or a shutdown there is no other options to hibernate.
    Why it's so slow i don't know and cannot compare since i do have a SSD, but do not use hibernate. How long does it take? Did you do a clean install using the Windows 7 DVD and is the SSD performing fast except for the hibernate?

  • Latest iTunes version: extremely slow start-up

    My set-up:
    - Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    - iTunes 11.1.2 x64
    - large MP3 collection (hundreds of GBs... don't ask how)
    - Moved Music library from C: drive to D: drive
    The combination of Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.2 or either of them, causes iTunes
    to start up very very slow.
    I deleted my iTunes library and started from scratch, but no effect. My iTunes library (under Music) doesn't
    contain the songs, just links to another folder on another drive (fixed harddisk).
    After you start iTunes, you see the memory usage slowly crawling to 250 MB, then it starts and works.
    But it takes 3-4 minutes.
    What's new ?

    Apple just released 11.1.3
    From the release notes:
    This version of iTunes resolves an issue where the equalizer may not work as expected and improves performance when switching views in large iTunes libraries. This update also includes additional minor bug fixes.
    I can confirm that my issue has been solved. iTunes loads after a few seconds and switching view doesn't crash it anymore.
    Thanks Apple !!

  • "Optimizing Movies": Extremely slow start-up

    Hi, this seems to be a common problem, yet no forum on the subject provides a solid answer. When I start iMovie 09, it takes a very long time to open because it is "Optimizing Movies". As I write this, I have been sitting at my macbook for no less than 20 minutes waiting for it to finish, an STILL it's not done! ***? My iMovie events are on a separate drive, but the folder is not set to "locked" as someone suggested in another forum. Please help, Thanks.

    Like you, I keep my Events on an external drive (connected via FireWire 800). I've noticed that iMovie generally only runs the optimize process if I've disconnected then reconnected the drive to my MacBook Pro. As I don't move the MacBook Pro much, I tend to have the drive connected most of the time and therefore don't get the Optimization routine running very often.
    So, if you are disconnecting your drive frequently, this may be the cause of the optimization issue.

  • Sometimes can't log into server or very slow to do so.green bar at bottom is fully lit and just sits there with wheel spinning like it is trying to hook up?

    Does not happen all the time. Many time works no problems. When having problems seems to be that way for a while not just one email. Just did an email and wheel was spinning and trying to send. "Can't log on to server" I believe is what comes up. Hit cancel, went into sent file to see if went thru(sometimes it does when it says it didn't send) Not in sent file, started new email and redid it and it sent fine???
    Have been told looks like thunderbird issue and not Provider?
    My sent file is small. Thought this might be contributing so deleted most of old that I did not move in to client folders.

    If it doesn't work at one time, but does again work later, it's unlikely the problem is with Thunderbird.
    You may try to disable email scanning in your anti-virus software.
