Slow Boot-Up with 3 monitors after Yosemite

I updated my Mac Pro 12-Core (40GB RAM) last week to Yosemite. Since then, my Mac takes about 15 minutes to boot up after either a fresh start or Restart. If I remove 1 of my 3 monitors, I get a normal boot (I have an SSD startup drive, so it takes about 20 seconds). If I add that 3rd monitor back in after restart, it works fine. But if I add the 3rd monitor before it boots up, it'll take 15+ minutes.
The Mac hangs up at a light grey screen just after completing about 30% of the progress bar under the grey apple icon. I'll get the spinning pinwheel fr those 15 minutes.
Any Ideas what that could be??
I found a thread where I performed the recommended tasks:
1. disconnect xtra monitors
2. boot from recovery drive
3. repair permissions
4. reset SMC
5. reset PRAM
I did all that, but it still boots sloooooow with the 3 monitors connected.
I'm using the 3 stock video ports that came with my MAC PRO 2012 ATI Radeon 5770, 2 mini-display ports, 1 apple display port

Hi Bizzlewood,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be both frustrating and concerning when your computer doesn’t seem to wake from sleep. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps I would suggest in this situation. Please refer to the attached article for troubleshooting information.
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
Your computer cannot wake from sleep
Make sure your computer isn't powered off by pressing the power key for one second.
If you're using an external display, make sure your display is not powered off or unplugged.
If you are using a Mac notebook:
Make sure the computer's battery is charged. Try connecting the power adapter to the computer, then press the power button for one second to see if the computer powers on.
Make sure the AC power cord is connected securely to the power outlet, and that the outlet it is working correctly. Confirm the power adapter or cable is attached firmly.
If your computer is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is not turned off. Check to make sure other items connected to the power strip are receiving power.
Confirm the right power adapter is connected on Mac notebook computers. If a lower wattage power adapter is used than the one that came with your Mac, it may not provide enough power to charge the battery while the computer is powered on. Make sure there is no debris in the MagSafe port that might prevent charging. When your MagSafe cable is connected properly, you should see a green or orange light on the connector.
If the issue is still not resolved after verifying the above information, please be sure to follow the steps listed at the bottom of the article in the Additional troubleshooting section. 
Cheers,
Joe

  • Mac mini will not boot up with two monitors attached

    New Mac mini running OS 10.10.1. I have a LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port, and a Cintiq 21 UX LCD monitor attached to a thunderbolt port.
    It boots up properly with only the first LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port.
    When I leave both monitors connected before starting the computer I get no chime, and a black screen. The light on the front of the Mac mini comes on, but nothing else happens. I have to turn off the Mac mini, unplug the second monitor and then reboot. It always starts up perfectly then. After starting the computer, I plug the second monitor in, and everything is fine.
    It’s kind of a pain in the neck to constantly plug and unplug the second monitor from the back of the Mac mini. Is there anything I’m overlooking?

    Thank you, Illaass! Resetting the SMC solved the problem! I tried that first because I would prefer not to lose any preferences, and also because it was the easiest to try. You must be a genius in addition to being such a good egg!
    (This is the number of smiles I smiled after my Mac mini booted properly with both monitors connected.)

  • Slow boot up with Satellite P300-18M (PSPCCE)

    This question has already partly been asked, however, I would like to ask everyone this question specifically:
    Does anyone experience a slow boot up with the P300-18M ?
    Please, even if your machine boots properly, I would be grateful for a reply, so that I can see if it is a problem with all of these machines, or if there is a problem with mine.
    By booting slowly, I mean that:
    After the vista 'Loading' screen, and 'Orb' appear:

    http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winvista/images/Image57.gif
    I get the screen below, for about 2 minutes:
    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3033/2853070854_91b4b7dcfa_b.jpg
    I have tried disabling EVERYTHING from starting up at boot (using MSCONFIG)
    Could people please share their experiences with the P300-18M
    Thanks, Jack

    Do you have a network attached? Perhaps DHCP is slowing the system?
    Vista has a built in Boot logger in Event Viewer, which shows you a list of Events that took longer than normal.
    Go to Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Event Viewer
    Then go to Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Diagnostics-Performance -> Operational
    Here are some screenshots

  • Mac mini not booting up with 8GB memory after 10.7.2 update

    My mac mini is not booting up with 8GB of memory after the 10.7.2 update. It just keeps on beeping and flashing the led.
    If I take out the upper DIMM (Bank 1) It boots just fine, and it does so with either one of the 4GB DIMMs in Bank 0, so the DIMMs are fine. It also boots up fine with two 1GB DIMMs installed simultaneously, so the Bank 1 seems to be somehow working as well.
    This trouble started right after the Lion recovery update, meaning the mini has never booted with the full 8GB installed after the update.
    It worked just fine before that, with the full 8GB of memory installed.
    Anyone else having similar problems?
    Cheers, Otto.

    I have upgraded my 2011 Macbook Pro and my 2011 Mini Server
    to 8 gig with Corsair RAM and have had no issues
    (CMSA8GX3M2A1333C9).  What brand RAM was used?
    There have been issues in the past with some RAM
    brands.
    Something to try is a PRAM reset with the 8 gig installed.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
    Also, make sure the Minis are booting into 64 bit mode.
    Open Applications->Utilities->System Information
    On the left side click the software heading.  There should be a line
      64-bit Kernel and Extensions:          Yes
    This should be the default for 2010 and 2011, but something could
    have got hosed.

  • Slow boot up with fire drives attached

    Hi,
    I'm having problems if it I try and boot up my iMac, with 2 firewire drives and a drobo, one of the firewire drives is daisychained... I think that's the right term... through the drobo.
    It tends to slow the boot time, it can be as much as 5 minutes.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Okay pending on how you want to look at this, I've got some good news and bad.
    Good... When I booted up with the firewire drive on it's own attached, it was fine.
    Bad, obviously it's a problem with the drobo... i think it's time for me to have a word with them... ~sighs~
    Thanks. I'll keep this open and let you know how it ends up.

  • Using Boot Disk with external monitor?

    Does anyone have any idea how to boot from the OSX install disk while using an external monitor?
    My powerbook screen and HD are both busted and I can't install the OS on the new HD. I can get to the point where it has booted up and is using the external monitor as a second screen but I can't see what I'm doing! HELP!

    Do you have another Mac at your disposal? If you have installed a new HD into the PB and need to put an OS on it, you could put the PB into firewire target mode and attach it as a second drive to another Mac. You can then install an OS onto it.
    It might also work that, when you have the PB booted and the external monitor is acting as the second screen, close the lid and put the PB to sleep. Then, wake it up by plugging in a USB mouse or keyboard and the external screen should become the primary screen. You need to have the PB plugged into the AC adapter to perform this trick.

    First you need to get rid of all the malware on your computer starting with Genieo. Also, get rid of:
    [failed] com.Wondershare.TunesGoWatchDemo.plist [Support]
    [failed] PACESupport.plist [Support]
    Startup Items: ℹ️
      PACESupport: Path: /Library/StartupItems/PACESupport
      Startup items are obsolete in OS X Yosemite
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

  • Many Specific Issues with Mac Performance after Yosemite Upgrade

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15”--Late 2013
    Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, I have experienced the following problems:
    Preview locking up after I attempt to open a document or photo
    None of my files will be visible in certain views (e.g., Download Folder will appear empty)
    Trash and Junk Folders will disappear in Mail
    Spotlight will not search for anything when I attempt to use it
    Google apps (e.g.,  Search, News, Gmail, Maps) will usually not open initially when I try to open them in Safari—will just time out with a message that website will not respond… If I close out the tab, then try to re-open it, it usually works. I also tried them out in Chrome, and they seem to load with no problems.
    Initially I contacted Apple support. They had me delete several cache files, ran disk utility, etc. This seemed to help for a while, but problem returned.
    The next step: I performed a clean installation of Yosemite.  Eventually, the symptoms returned.
    Last step:  I took my computer to the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store.  The tech ran several diagnostics and found no problems.
    Finally, the Genius Bar tech. asked me how often I shut down my Mac;  I told him ‘not very often’.   His recommendation was that I restart my Mac every once in a while… (not specific on frequency)….
    Restarting it every couple of days seems to be the only thing that works…
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • Macbook pro will no longer boot from main sata bay after Yosemite

    Hi!
    I am really stuck as to why my macbook pro will no boot from the main Sata bay.
    I have the macbook pro late 2011  - a few months ago I installed a samsung 840 evo, and moved the 500gb hdd into the optical bay and all has been working perfectly until last night.
    I installed yosemite two days ago and it worked perfectly to begin with... then when I re opened my laptop everything was frozen. I restarted it and it wouldnt get past the grey screen. Then I managed to get it to the internet recovery stage....however it would not recognise the SSD, so I had to install Lion on the HDD.
    After I logged on it gave me the message saying that the disc is not readable and on disk utility I can only see the "samsung ssd"  but no details about it.
    I thought that the SSD may have gone, but when i removed it and plugged it in via USB I was able to boot from it with no issues.
    Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the new OS? or whether it is the Sata cable?
    Thanks for any help!!!

    Hi, I have been having the exact same problem with a late 2011 MBP 15 inch. I replaced the hard drive with a samsung SSD 1.5 years ago, along with a samsung SSD in the optical drive. It worked great until the Yosemite upgrade. The MBP seemed to work reasonably well for a few days after the upgrade, but then it started stalling on various programs (spinning beach ball on Mail, Safari, etc). Start-ups were also longer and had a loading bar each time, which was new since the upgrade. I left the MBP to sleep last night and when opening it, it crashed and tried to restart. On restart it loads to the login screen, then after I enter the password it partially loads (based on the loading bar), then shuts off. I removed the SSD and plugged it in with a USG, but that didn't change anything. Here is a picture after using CMD-V before it shuts off.

  • Calendar.app won't sync with Google calendar after Yosemite update

    I recently clean installed Yosemite on my 11" Macbook Air and my Google calendar will not sync with Calendar.app. Everything else on my Google account syncs with no problem, but the calendar refuses. I tried with another google account and had the same problem. Unlinked and re-linked the account in question, same problem. Turned off 2-factor auth, same problem. Tried with CalDAV, doesn't work.
    In Preferences > Internet Accounts > Google Account in Question, the box next to Calendars is unchecked by default. When checking it, I get a progress wheel that spins for a minute or so and then...nothing.
    I'm out of troubleshooting steps. Is there something I'm missing here?

    I'm having the exact same problem after clean install of Yosemite too.
    Update: I followed the suggestion on this thread and it seemed to solve the problem.
    really weird... i just temporary connected to my phone's Personal Hotspot instead of regular home wi-fi,
    and it started to sync!

  • Audio Issues Using iMac 27 as Monitor, after Yosemite

    Folks,
    I use the Mac as an external monitor for my PC. I've been playing music from the Mac on external speakers, in both Mac & PC mode for 4 years. Since Yosemite, when I switch to the PC, the speakers change to the internal built-ins. When I select the external speakers the 'Settings for Selected Device'  says 'The Selected Device has no Output Controls'. It's connected via USB to an Audioengine D1 DAC and 5+ speakers.
    Any thoughts? I never had any issues before Yosemite, and there seems to be no way to lock the setting to external.
    Thanks...

    Unfortunately the rep in the store was not correct. This feature is called Target Display Mode, Apple discusses it in the Target Display Mode 2009 & 2010 iMacs & Target Display Mode Mid 2011 iMacs articles. As you will read in the first article you could do this with Mid 2009 & 2010 iMacs but not with 2011 models because they use Thunderbolt. However if you got a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Air which also have Thunderbolt in 2011 then you could use the 2011 iMac as an external monitor to either of those models. In short you need Thunderbolt on all the connected computers.
    The good news is there are still 2010 iMac's available in the Apple Refurbished store. If you have never experienced the refurbished store then you not be afraid, these machines have the same 1 year warranty as a new machine and are also eligible for AppleCare. Almost everyone that gets one cannot tell the difference between a new machine and a refurbished machine, they're that good. You can only buy them from Apple's online store, to check what is available check frequently because inventory can and does change from hour to hour.

  • Boot camp doesn't work after Yosemite update..

    Hi Loner T,
    Like many people with the yosemite update, my boot camp no longer works.
    I cannot find the drive when I'm booting up.
    Startup Disk under system preferences only shows the Mac system and does not show any other option.
    I've been trying to go through what you've posted to help other people but I've never even worked with terminal application before and everything is very confusing.

    Let us try this again. I omitted the count so you are dumping the entire disk. .Use Control+C to stop it.
    This is what it should look like.

  • Needing help with crashing PhotoShop after Yosemite OS Update

    I updated to the new Yosemite OS and was using PhotoShop CS5.1, and now the program crashes after trying to open more than one photo at a time.  I have cleared all settings and updated everything I can update.  I can't revert back to my old OS because it wasn't backed up before doing so.  Is there a solution to this? 

    Chris, I was not able to help with this Yosemite CS3 problem, but I did ask for a crash report. If you have time can you go over it?

  • Issue with multi-monitor after upgrading to Mavericks

    I ran Mountain Lion OS on my MacBook Pro along with VMWare Fusion 5 with an extra monitor and everything was working fine till I upgraded to Mavericks. Since then, I am not able to see the 2nd monitor in the Extended Mode.
    on Apple, everything is work and I see two monitors and can move one window from one display to another but when I open my Windows in Fusion, only one display is accessible (the 2nd display showing Apple screen, which wasn't the case before). Even I can see that the color settings I had done before for my additional monitor is not in place after upgrade.
    I have checked my WIndows and settings are fine as it was before. It's Windows 7 Pro. I read some articles that I have to upgrade to Fusion 6 and some others that mentioned this is an issue with Mavericks and upgrade won't fix it. So, I am looking for some advice or similar experince, if any.
    Thx in advance for your help.
    Behzad

    Update: I can see that Windows act as it is two displays but the 2nd display is in nowhere and I cannot see it. I mean the window can go out of my normal display (i.e. my laptop) but not to the other monitor. That's why I have to disconnect the 2nd monitor and only use laptop display.
