Boot TIme question

Can anyone report on what the approximate boot time should be for a Mac Pro 2.66 with a fresh OS install (no other apps to start up)? My new Mac Pro waits for approximately 50 seconds between the startup 'bong' and the Apple icon appearing (blank gray screen in the interim). Is this normal?
Once the icon appears, the rest of the boot sequence takes 15-20 seconds.
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

From the time I press the power button mine will bong around 6-7 seconds after that time, during which the ATi X1900 XT fan will be huffing and puffing. Total boot time using an automatic login is approximately 30 seconds from the button press to the Finder fully loaded.

I am a geezer. My PC cannot load Super Fetch at boot time. What did I delete in my tidy, tidy, tidy?

Hi Gang,
OK, I have been sick for sixteen years, about as long as the Target hacker has been alive. I will be 67 in a few weeks. My PC tells me it cannot load SuperFetch at boot time. What did I clobber? I saved the message as offered.
Thanks,
Al Marcy

Hi,
Could you please post the complete event log
here? Was this error message related with superfetch service? The error message here seems to be mostly associated with .Net framework.
Few more questions here, what actions had been taken before the error occurred? Have you checked if any viruses attacked? In addition, please take a try with system file checker.(More infor
for SFC).
Regarding SuperFetch, it caches data to RAM so that it can be immediately available to your application. Sometimes this can affect the performance of certain applications. It tends to not work
well with gaming, but can improve performance with business apps. And this service is dependent on the following system components:
File Information FS MiniFilter
FltMgr
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
DCOM Server Process Launcher
RPC Endpoint Mapper
More information, please check
superfetch in:
Threats and Countermeasures Guide: System Services
To see if superfetch is disabled or not, please check the steps below:
1. Click the Start orb and type Regedit in the Start Search area.
2. Open the Registry Editor.
3. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    then SYSTEM
    then CurrentControlSet
    then Control
    then Session Manager
    then MemoryManagement
    then click PrefetchParameters
4. On the right side, double-click on EnableSuperfetch
5. Check the value of it, it is set to
3 by default on win7:
Values:
0 to disable Superfetch
1 to enable prefetching when program is launched
2 to enable boot prefetching
3 to enable prefectching of everything
Hit OK then Close RegEdit. "
Then goto the services MSC ("windows key + r" or just "windows key" and type
services.msc). Scroll down to Superfetch and now should start. Double click it and change to automatic, then attempt to start again.
If we fail to start this service, I suggest we
export following keys from the computer on Which Windows 7 works fine, and then import to your computer to repair this service. On the good win7 PC:
Navigate to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SysMain
Right click on the
SysMain, choose export, and then move the export file on the problematic PC, double click the file.
Hope this helps,
Best regards
Michael

What are the normal Boot time?/Wake from sleep time? for MB?

Looking to buy a MacBook for my wife to replace her old Dell D-420. The Dell still works fine but takes forever to boot and to wake from hibernation. I was given an old iBook a few weeks ago and was amazed at how fast it woke from sleep mode (the boot times were pretty snappy too). So my question is. What is the "normal" wake from sleep time on a MacBook? How long does a cold boot take?
BTW: Steve isn't going to surprise us with an updated MacBook next week is he??
Thanks
Soon to be MacBook owner.

lancia is right- 56 second sound about right, my 2.0 GHz MacBook boots in about 49 seconds.
If you want your MacBook to boot up faster, you can reset the PRAM (parameter random access memory). What this does is that it resets all the devices it searches for when it starts up: forgets about them, literally
To do this, press down the command (the buttons next to the space bar) , option, P, and R keys at the same time when you turn on your MacBook. Press these keys until you hear the tone a second time. Make sure to do it quick, because after you hear the tone it won't work.
Hope this helps,
Wookams
To your BTW question:
Almost certainly not, but I still recommend waiting a couple months extra because Apple notebooks usually update themselves every 200 days or so. I was disappointed from learning this, but hey...

Speeding up Boot Times

Hey Guys,
Just installed my first copy of Arch on my machine. I am loving it so far, especially Pacman, however I would like to see about speeding up the boot time of the machine. This is sort of a generic question but what tips/tricks do you have to speed up boot times on Arch? I'm all about speed and efficiency and it seems like it is taking a little bit longer than it should. I have already skimmed down on interfaces loading on start up, modules that are not really necessary, and killed most of my scripts that run after boot. Suggestions?

Build yourself a custom kernel, build in all of the modules you need to boot. Set yourself up to not use an initrd.
Mind you, keep the stock kernel and initrd on the boot partition and keep an entry for them in your /boot/grub/menu.lst. Add the custom kernel to the boot partition and make a new entry for it in the menu.lst file.
If you do this, make sure you set it to optimize for your specific processor.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Compilation
also, if you have never compiled a kernel, take a look at:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/ (No I am not joking -- Gentoo documentation on kernel compilation is unsurpassed)

Boot times/issues for Motorola vs. Cisco DVRs

We have a solar powered home, and I'd like to keep our DVR off during the night when we're not recording anything to save power. Is there any difference in the boot time or issues around repeated booting between the Cisco Chs435hdc, and Motorola 7232 DVRs?
I noticed that the Motorola consumes less power (22W vs. 27W) so would like to switch from the Cisco to the Motorola all else being equal. How can I switch my DVR to the Motorola 7232? (we just started our service)
Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately we don't have any stats on the boot times between the respective units. While I understand your want/need to power the boxes down at night they are actually designed to stay on ( in a lower power state when off) so they can accept guide data and software updates. Since they are designed to stay on we can't really speak to the effect repeated booting would have on the units over time. To address your swap question we will need some further information. Please look for a private message in your forum inbox.

Improving Boot Time on Compact Fieldpoint

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to improve the boot time of Compact Fieldpoint controllers? Right now, I've got some not real complex code with 2-3 Loops (lots of shared variables, though). It takes roughly 5-8 minutes for the loops to start running after the unit is powered on or rebooted. After they start running, the performance is OK but not great. I'm using a cfp-2020, but will be moving to a 2120 soon.
Thanks!
-Matt

I was also having problems on my cFP-2120 with the initial read on shared variables hosted on the cFP controller. I was working with only about a dozen shared variables and seemed to take several minutes before all the variables were up to speed. When I watched them on the variable manager, I could see them get their first values one at a time with about 5-8 seconds from one variable to the next. The FPremote.ini tip that I had seen in a few threads did seem to help. One comment I would add is that it didn't seem to take effect until after the controller was rebooted.
I would like to pose a few questions of an NI person as to why this file is needed? It isn't logical that the absence or presence of an empty file would have any effect on the speed of the shared variable engine. Are there any configuration settings that get added to it automatically? Are there any settings to be added that have any meaning to the shared variable engine? It appears to remain empty.
Has this behavior been documented as a bug within Labview or Fieldpoint? It seems that if something as simple as adding an empty file to a directory improves performance, a Fieldpoint patch or upgrade should be put in the drivers in the quarterly service CD's to take care of this automatically.
There should probably be a knowledgebase article on this in the official NI website rather than just the threads in the forums addressing this issue. I did a search for fpremote.ini from the NI home page and zero results came up.

SMF - start at boot time, but don't restart - possible?

I'm setting up a software package that has a number of background processes.
I've got SMF manifests created and imported for all of them, and they're working great for starting the processes at boot time, and doing the automatic restarts when one fails.
Here's my problem. It turns out that the users of this software want to be able to use the software's integrated process control methods to stop some of their processes. With the current configuration, they use the software's method to stop one of it's processes, and SMF promptly restarts it.
Is there a way to set up SMF managed software so that SMF starts it at boot time, but then doesn't care if stops later?
Richard

I'm not sure how it would be SMF "managed" in such a case. Obviously you want the management to be elsewhere.
You could use the "legacy" startup scripts in /etc/rcX.d. That will start a process and forget about it, just like pre-Solaris 10. You don't use manifests or have any other benefits of SMF.
If you do want SMF, I guess the question is how you want it to act..
When the users stop the processes, do you want SMF to say enabled or disabled? SMF does not track enabled processes by periodic polling, it does it by tracking contracts. This means that starting a process outside of SMF does not allow SMF to track it.

New T530: same boot time after cloning HDD to SSD - what to do next to optimize performance?

Hi,
This is my very first post here so bear with me if I have not observed any guidelines.
After I got a new T530 from Lenovo (i5-3230M, 8G RAM 1DIMM, 500GB 7200rpm HDD, 1920x1080, 16GB Micro SSD SATA3, NVIDIA Optimus with 1GB), I swapped the DVD burner with the 500GB HDD and put a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro as my primary drive. I cloned all HDD contents to the SSD and removed all stuff in the HDD (I don't have a Windows 7 disk that's why I didn't do a clean install on the SSD). After these changes, I found my boot time to still be 30 seconds - which I guess is quite slow for an SSD main drive.
I've read up a fair bit on the Lenovo Community and the ThinkPad forum for solutions but have not found a conclusive answer to this problem. I guess I just want some advice from experienced users on what to do next after cloing the HDD to the SSD so that I can optimize the SSD's performance.
1) I found the 16GB Micro SSD SATA3 is named "Lenovo_Recovery (Q". As I don't have a Windows 7 installation disk, is it possible for me to perform a clean install on my SSD C: Drive from the Recovery?
2) If recovery is not possible, I am thinking of removing some of the bloatware(Corel burner, Nitro Pro, and many ThinkVantage utilities). But I also read somewhere that simply removing them does not help much (as opposed to a clean install). Is there anything Lenovo software worth saving (power manager maybe?)
To be sure both my TRIM and AHCI are enabled. I welcome and am grateful for inputs of other advice outside the above two questions: for example whether I should disable paging files or set paging files to the 500GB HDD disk; whether I should create a RAM disk, whether I should delete or shift system retore files, or whether I should change locations for certain temporary files.
Many thanks for your input
Solved!

You're already getting detailed advice here. I'm just chiming it to say that the above doesn't sound quite right.
Lenovo_Recovery (Q) is normally a partition on the main drive and contains the recovery image. It wouldn't be on the micro SSD - AFAIK. The recovery image contains an as-shipped image of your working partitions. Even if you used it, you wouldn't get what's considered a "clean" install (from MS media and without the Lenovo additions). You'd get the OS as shipped - modified and added-to by Lenovo.
That micro SSD is probably part of the reason you don't see much difference in your boot times. It caches frequently-used files and (at least once trained or pre-loaded) sort of simulates running from an SSD. Without it your original boot time would probably have been longer.
[edit] Did you make recovery media from your HDD before removing it from the main bay. I'm all for clean installs (how I run my T420) but that might be handy to have down the road some time. Also you might want to pull a copy of SWTOOLS (I think that's what it's called these days...) and save it on DVD or someplace. There are a few things you can't download from the Lenovo site (3rd-party multimedia apps, for example) that you might want to add to a clean install later. The installers are in SWTOOLS (or whatever it's called....)

Hp dv7 intel, windows 10 extremely slow boot times and lagging and glicthy

I did the free upgrade and the boot time was really really slow. once it came up it was really laggy for a little bit too.i figured might of been an issue with the upgrade instead of a clean boot. so i erased and did a clean boot as well and still had the forever boot time with black screen.. i went back to windows 7 and no issues. has anyone else had this issue with the pavalilion dv7? if so what did you do to fix it?

Hi there & , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I have looked into the issue you are having with the boot time being slow on your Notebook with Windows 10. I did some research and found a way to make the boot time faster. Although this site is not affiliated with HP, it has some great step by step instructions. The topic is called Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating for Windows 10. Updated Windows 10 drivers will become available on the HP Drivers and Downloads Page for your product. They will be released as they become available to HP. Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went. Thank you! Have a great day!

Loading application at the boot time

Hi all!
Maybe somebody can answer my question:
How can I run my application at the boot time?
Thanks

We also have similar requirements. We are starting our script (which starts lot of processes) through inittab with options set to "once". We want this script to be executed only once in run level "3". But we noticed that the script is executed every time system moves into state "3".
Is there any way by which we can execute the process only during boot time and not otherwise?
Thank you for help

F11 R&R option at boot time

Evening,
I have just purchased an IdeaPad S10 4333-36U. I saw that it came with Windows XP Home. So i did a clean format on the windows parition and installed Windows XP Professional.
Please note that i left the recovery parition intact. When doing the above process. So now i have my windows XP professional parition and my recovery parition "SERVICEV002" on the netbook.
Before i installed WXP Professional i noticed that whenever the machine booted that after the quick luanch, at the top i would see a message saying "To boot to the Rescue and Recovery Environment, Press F11".
Since installing WXP Professional I no longer get this option during boot up. Instead it goes straight in to Windows. As said prevoiusly my recovery partition is still un touched on the system.
Could anyone tell me how i can make this message F11 boot to recovery message come back during boot time?
Any assistance with this would be most appreciative.
Regards,
Andrea

CCC is used to make a bootable clone. It will also make an image file that can be installed using ASR or that can be used with NetBoot. It does not make a bootable image because you cannot boot from a disk image file. The image file can also be burned onto a CD or DVD, but you will not be able to boot from it because a CD/DVD is not a writeable device, and OS X must be able to write to a startup device.
Another utility, BootCD (not yet usable with Tiger), worked around the problem by rewriting some of the startup code in OS X to force the making of a RAM disk, then moving some of the startup files to the RAM disk and designating the RAM disk as the startup device. Although BootCD will make a bootable and customizable CD using Panther, it does not work with Tiger.
Any questions?

[nVidia Series] Problems with boot time for p4n sli

I have spent a couple of hours digging trying to find out some information.
I bought the p4n sli (not diamond) and everything seems to work fine, BUT the boot time is very long. It seems to try to access the dvd drive for 30 to 45 seconds and then it will boot. Once it starts to boot I get 4 error code beeps and one that sounds as if it would be the normal everything is good beep (the fifth beep is always different and usually in the middle of the four same tone beeps).
I have a intel 630 cpu, a nvidia 6800gt vid card, one gig of corsair dual channel memory and 1 gig of geil dual channel memory (I get the same errors without the different memory), I have a 450 thermaltake psu, a maxtor 120 gig sata drive and a 160 gig ide drive.
I have no problems with anything once the computer is booted up. It just takes a lot longer to even start to boot than I have seen with modern computers.
The beep codes thread stated that
4 beeps - Timer not operational - bad motherboard
5 beeps - Processor error - bad processor
Would I still be able to run this computer if either of these was true? I would love any advice. I do not want to burn up anything.

hey LtDano38,
Im sure that the beeps that you are hearing are on account of the amount of USB devices that you have hooked up. You should get one for every device, the low tone one that you hear is the bios beep saying that everything is normal. The USB beeps should come before the different tone one at the end.
As for the boot time, i would try a different cd-row to see if it does the same. Also is the drive IDE or SATA?
GL and post back.
ok, I do have four usb devices, a flight stick, a nostromo, and usb mouse and keyboard, I have one ide hd, one sata hd and an ide dvd. I tried slaving the dvd off of the hd and with it by itself on the other ide channel. My os is on the ide hd. One last question, can I use anymore abbreviations?

General Boot Camp Question

Hello everyone.
I have this issue where I am trying to install Windows on my Mac but every time, after about 45 minutes or partitioning I get this message:
"Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I have 2 issues:
1)I don't know how to back up the disc and...
2)I don't have an extra hard drive to back it up to.
Here's the real kicker. It is already formatted as a "single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume" and here is the pic of my issue:
http://img10.imageshack.us/i/picture1lf.png/
I have tried using Boot Camp once before and it worked just perfectly, but I had to back out in the middle of the process of installing Windows, but I reopened Boot Camp and erased that partition, so it should be perfect.
Thank you all for help. This has been driving me crazy. xD

Mountain Lion has long boot time between apple logo and desktop

hi!
i've had mountain lion since it came out and quite happy with it.
but since about a week or 2 during bootup, after the spinning wheel stops turning and the mouse shows up in the upper left hand corner, it hangs there for about 10-15 seconds before the desktop shows up.
during this time i can use the mouse, but all that shows is the apple logo..
now i've made sure that no applications are to be relaunched after restart.. so the question here is: what's it busy doing during between the apple logo and the desktop? and more importantly: how can i fix it back to the way it was? it used to be a fraction of a second between the two, and now it seems to take forever!
ps: i've a macbook pro 2010 i5 8gb (but since it worked fine before, i don't think that has anything to do with it)
thanks in advance,
lars

Hi bolisaf,
I'm having that same issue. It's annoying. It's seems to take forever, and unnecessary. When the desktop cames in the dock takes long time to show, sometimes...
Can i ask you how long your boot time is?
As you did not post anythong else, did you manage to work out a solution? Or there is not a solution for this?
Thanks!
Daniel
