Takes a long time for Apple logo to show up on boot up

My 13" mpb early 2011 takes a long time for the Apple logo to show up... Is there a way to fix this? (It should show up within 2 seconds after the initial chime)
I have Win7 installed, could it be that? Since it might be detecting which partition to boot up with.

Check login items ...
Remove all items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac to test.
Not necessarily a Windows issue.

    Don't know if that would be a failing hard drive, but it may be that you are out of available space. How much hard drive space do you have available? Please highlight the Macintosh HD icon and then press Command and I for a get info window. Once open, please copy and post the following:

    Mac OS requires a minimum of 10 - 15% of total hard drive space available and empty at all times in order to operate properly.

  • Spool printing takes a long time for just one user

    Hello,
    Could someone please guide on what could be the reason that spool printing takes a long time for just one user ?
    I've monitored all the spool processes through SM50, and I've found that a very long time elapses before the printing job appears in one of the four spool processes.
    Thanks in advance.
    Reda

    Hi,
    very long time elapses before the printing job appears in one of the four spool processes.
    can u check the trace file(Red color error) of that spool process. Also can u see if there are any system logs in SM21 related to that spool request.
    Also see how many pages the user is giving print @ 1 shot. Suppose if the printer to whcih the user is giving print is a network printer, see the network response time.
    Have u tried to ask the same user to give print to some other printer. Also have u asked some other user to print to that problematic printer. Check the responses under this scenario also.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Why it takes a long time for my MacBook Air to turn on?

    I brought my MacBook Air at a Power Mac Center to fix vertical lines on the screen. The vertical lines were removed. But since then, when I turn on my laptop, it takes a long time before it actually turns on. Sometimes, after pressing the power button, something seems to run at the upper left corner of the keyboard (near the power adapter) but it takes me practically hours before it actually turns on.
    And when it is turned on already, I observed some unusual behaviors happening:
    - Sometimes, while it is turned on, the battery status in the menu bar looks operating normally, but after a while, the trackpad will no longer work until the battery status says, "No Battery Available" and "Power source: Power Adapter".
    - Sometimes, several horizontal lines appear on the screen then after a while the laptop will hang up.
    - Sometimes, the sound sounds abnormal then after a while the sound no longer operates, and when I check the Sound at the System Preferences, it says, "No input devices found"
    - Several applications do not work anymore, like Calendar, TextEdit, Reminder, Facetime, Preview and others.
    Please help me figure out the problem. I cannot use my laptop as regular as before. I can no longer catch up with paper work deadlines because of these problems.

    Please, help me. I need an immediate response so I could try to fix the problem because I need to use my laptop right away. Pls help.

  • Takes a long time for the status of the dshboard to go from unknown to display the information

    been trouble shooting a issue with this server where its running fine for a few weeks then it will slow down shares will stop working or print services, eventually has to reboot it, a few times it wouldn't reboot and would just hang and had to be hard shut
    down.
    ran through diagnostics with Dell and Dset tool they didn't see anything wrong, we updated a few things and did the offline diag from the boot up and found a RAM issue, we pulled the ram out blew out the slots plugged it back in and everything has been fine.
    but seems like there is some of the issues creeping back in, Dell says its not hardware so looking at OS issues
    its a 2012 std server Power edge R520 Xeon E5-2420 with 32 gigs of ram, its a file server print server AD, only server for this construction company of about 20 users.
    when ever I load up the server manager it shows for about 5 min or longer unknown for everything, after 5-10 min some things fill in till its full, also the Volume shadow copy service keeps stopping and flagging it red in the server manager. have run sfc
    and not really seeing what could be wrong, everything shows fine,
    have not had any complaints about speed or not being able to access the shares since we did the downtime and reset the ram in the slots but when I even try to get to something like updates from control panel it takes about 15 min or so for the application
    to load up, but other things are fast like normal, its somewhat selective.
    any ideas?
    thank you!
    Brandon Dillon

    Hi Brandon Dillon,
    On current situation, please logon the server and open Server Manager. Then navigate to BEST PRACTIES ANALYZER and start BPA Scan. Please monitor the result. Meanwhile, please check
    if find some events which may be related to this issue. Those may help us to go further analyze.
    In addition, please
    perform a clean boot on the server. Then open Server Manager and check if this issue still exists.
    If any update, please feel free to l tem know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.2 takes a long time to run 'X11.app' (with system log)

    Hello everyone, English is not my mother tongue so may not be exactly correct, sorry about that.
    Background:
    I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and was running Leopard 10.5.
    I did a clean installation and now Snow Leopard 10.6.2, with iLife, iWork, and many many apps.
    I am the only one who will use the Mac and my user account is as the 'admin'.
    I previously had a problem concerning X11 too:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343732
    *What I've done:*
    (1) rename my HD to 'Michaels_Home' under 'Get Info' from Finder (I can't rename in Disk Utility though)
    (2) press return (enter)
    (3) change my home folder path to the '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
    (4) restart
    (5) log in and open X11
    (6) problem solved!!
    ==========
    *BUT NOW* I have a problem after:
    (1) log in as the root user, and use command +ditto -V xyz xyz+ to copy my home folder from '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' to '/Users>Michael'
    (2) change my home folder path to the '/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
    (3) use the Mac OS X Snow Leopard USD$29 disc to boot my Mac up
    (4) delete the 'Michaels_Home' partition (I had 3 partitions: (1) Macintosh HD (2) Michaels_Home (3) Windows XP Professional)
    (5) resize the 'Macintosh HD' partition
    (6) boot from Macintosh HD
    (7) find that there's a problem about X11
    _The problem:_
    it takes a *long time* for X11 to start.
    When I try to open the 'X11.app', the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens.
    Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just the X11 icon on the dock.
    What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the app isn't running at the moment.
    I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not responding'.
    So, I open the *Activity Monitor*, and I can see there are 3 apps related to X11 are running:
    (1) X11
    (2) X11.bin
    (3) xauth
    *At the moment now, if you would wait for about 1.5 min., X11 will open.*
    Please see below for the system log (from 'FREEZING' to 'WORKING')

    So what actually causes this problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    It turns out that there's something wrong about permissions.
    Here's the fix:
    (1) log in as the +root user+
    (2) type +chown -R Michael:staff ~Michael+
    (3) log out the +root user+
    (4) log in your account
    (5) done!
    Hope this thread will help those who encounter the same problem as me!

  • Takes a long time to read

    All of the sudden my iPod is taking a really long time to read on my computer. I will plug it in a it will take a long time for iTunes to open up. After it finally updates the iPod and I decide to update it again, it takes forever for it to read. I look at my iPod and it just stays at the Charged screen or whatever is on there. I have tried restoring it numerous times and it still does it. It will even take a really long time for it to recognize my iPod in the iPod updater. I have tried everything. It is weird because my iPod works fine and this is just happening all of the sudden.
    I have also tried reinstalling the iPod updater and iTunes and still doesn't work.

    Try opening iTunes first, and then connecting the iPod.
    If it is showing the charged screen and shows up in iTunes, then go to file-->update iPod.
    Also, how long is long?

  • My final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help

    my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me.  I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

  • HT4759 Hello .. I've been subscribed for ic;oud for 20$ per year and I found it useless for many reasons: that I can not disconnect my mobile while the uploading process and it takes long time for uploading my data .. Its not a reliable system that's why

    Hello .. I've been subscribed for ic;oud for 20$ per year and I found it useless for many reasons: that I can not disconnect my mobile while the uploading process and it takes long time for uploading my data .. Its not a reliable system that's why I need to deactivate the space service and take my money back .. Thanks

    The "issues" you've raised are nothing to do with the iCloud service.
    No service that uploads data allows you to disconnect the device you are uploading from while uploading data. Doing so would prevent the upload from completing. It is a basic requirement for any uploading service that you remain connected to it for uploading to be possible.
    The time it takes to upload data to iCloud is entirely dependent on how fast your Internet connection is, and how much data you are uploading. Both of these things are completely out of Apple's control. Whichever upload service you use will be affected by the speed of your Internet connection.

  • SUS - Some Clients Take a Long Time to Check for Updates

    We have the newest XSERVE, running 10.6, with 12GB of RAM. We use it as our software update server and for some reason, some clients take a long time to check for updates. I'm talking anywhere from an 30 mins to an hour. I can't figure it out. Some clients are quick, some are extremely long.
    Now if I tell the client to just check Apple for updates, it takes a few seconds.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    After another restart, firefox has begun throwing errors when starting from terminal. the error reported is:
    /opt/kde/bin/skim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    This is printed 5 times, then gives up and firefox loads quickly after. So this appears to be an issue with skim and libpng similar to other problems being reported.
    Some research uncovered that skim is no longer supported and is part of my kdemod3 install, however until this update it was working fine under kdemod4.
