Boot times vary extremely after SSD install on a Macbook 6,1

I have a white unibody Macbook (Macbook6,1), which is factory-built-to-order except for the following components that I installed yesterday:
- 8 GB (2x 4GB) DDR2 RAM from OWC
- OCZ Octane SATA 2.0 256 GB SSD Drive
I have a 100% clean install of OS X Snow Leopard, and all the updates have been performed.
The problem I have is the following: extremely long boot times, but only when booting after a full shutdown.
For example, during the update-restarts the computer re-booted extremely fast (as expected from an SSD).
Also, re-booting after OS X install was fast. When selecting restart from the OS, and watching the restart process, it boots very, very fast.
It's only when I'm starting up from a full shutdown that it seems like I have to wait forever, and by forever I really mean the "gear" is turning over 10 minutes (never bothered to time it, it's very, very long). It's even longer than a 'safe mode' boot (which, in my experiences, performs normally).
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be here? I've read lots of other posts, but don't really see a similar pattern...
(I've also tried the "system preferences"-"select startup disk" item, but that doesn't help, also because the only disk in the system is the SSD...)
Thanks guys!!!

The drive worked fine booting from an external enclosure as well.
Below from a non-boot (hang) during startup:
Got boot device = IOService:/AppleACPIP...
BSD root: disk0s2, major 14, minor 2
Bug: launchctl.c:3557 (23930):6 ioctl(s6, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, &ifra6) != -1
Running fsck on the boot volume...
Executing fsck_hfs (version diskdev_cmds-491.6~3).
launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist
AppleAHCIDiskQueueManager::setPowerState(0xceb1b00, 2 -> 1) timed out after 100107 ms
When it boots slow, it hangs a bit on 'executing' and 'launchctl', but I didn't get a "timed out" before.
I just re-booted again and now I get this:
Got boot device = IOService:/Apple....
BSD root: disk0s2, major 14, minor 2
..and then it went very fast and I saw something like "fsck not needed because volume is journaled", and the desktop appeard instantly after.
Does anyone have any ideas why I'm getting such different booting patterns?

  • Mac Pro Missing Serial Number after SSD install

    After installing a new SSD in an unused bay in my Mac Pro (OS 10.8.4) and setting it as my start-up disk with only System, Apps, Library and Users Folders on it, I have had a remarkable improvement in performance - things simply snap open now & I have not seen a spinning beachball/cogwheel until....
    Messages will not work now - on opening, the program asks me to enter my Apple ID & Password but will not accept the entries (which I have double-checked & confirmed on my Mac Book Pro, iPad & iPhone) - I get a prolonged spinning cogwheel & then a message that it could not connect and I should check my Network Connections - I did & they are all working fine for other programs.
    On line sources indicate that the iMessage Registration process involves the Mac's Serial number.
    This no longer appears under the About This Mac Menu item when I click on the Version 10.8.4 line (the Build Number does appear).
    This 4 year old Mac Pro has never had the Logic Board replaced.
    And iMessages worked great prior to the SSD install.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    you cloned the system? used Migration or Setup Assistant?
    I doubt it has anything to do with the SSD.
    But you might include what you did, what make of SSD even, and some brands (but not Samsung) would need firmware update.
    You also need to use TRIM Enabler on any and all SSDs (unless you paid dearly and bought an Apple device).
    Before you clone, install TRIM Enabler!
    And after you clone, run Disk Utility's REPAIR DISK on the SSD -- just to be on the safest side.

    try creating a new user account. I doubt it is the SSD, or you, though it could be your OS install or just the common issues with iMessages. Is there not a forum for it? I'd think there would be.

  • Screen flicker on 2011 21.5 iMac after SSD install. V-sync cable?

    I've had my 2011 21.5 iMac for going on a year now; I decided to spruce things up by installing an SSD. I followed this very helpful video tutorial and all seemed well, but shortly after booting up I noticed a slight occasional flicker of the screen.
    I found this video that shows the issue and some Google searching would seem to suggest there's an issue with my V-sync cable.
    I opened the iMac back up and checked the cable and could find nothing apparently wrong with it, although I do remember it initially taking quite some time to get free.
    So is the V-sync cable the culprit and would a new cable remedy this issue or is it possibly something else?

    I had seen that, I just wish I could find out the length so I can order one if required. I don't want my mac in pieces when I have to take a trip to a pc shop to get a sata cable.  Any ideas on the retaining latches?
    Just for info with all the tools/parts and 128gb Samsung 830 this has cost £115.
    The majority of this was through amazon uk and the sata power cable part number 922-6862 from an apple repair supplier.
    I intend to place the drive beneath the optical drive although I have been playing around with the idea of a slight mod and drilling the back of the case enough to fit the cables through and have the drive external. This would allow me to disconnect the drive Incase of issues or if I decide to upgrade at a later date.

  • MBP 5,3 75°C hot at 0% CPU load after SSD install

    Hello, i decided to post my problem here because i have not found any help on other forums.
    Two weeks ago i installed a Samsung 830 SSD with 256 GB using the Optibay SSD Kit from Hardwrk (http://hardwrk.com/en/ssd-hdd-adapter-kit-for-macbook-pro.html). The SSD sits where the HDD was beforce and the old 500 GB HDD sits in the Adapter from the Kit where the optical drive was.
    After installing the hardware, everything worked fine; i (partially) cloned the HDD to the SSD and booted from it. Only the biggest User folders are left on the HDD. A couple of days later i noticed that the CPU temperature was between 75°C and 80°C in idle, with no processes causing CPU load. The fans are working and spinning with about 3000 rpm. I increased the fan speed to maximum with iStat Menus and the temperature lowered to about 58°C which was normal before installing the SSD. After about 10 minutes of maximum fan speed i set the fans back to normal and the temperature increased to 78°C again.
    I tried a safe boot and there are no such problems, the CPU temperature is at 58°C in idle. So i booted in normal mode again and the temperature stayed at 58°C in idle. I shut down the MacBook and turned it on again in normal mode. The temperature increased to 80°C and stayed. I don't understand that behaviour.
    The HDD is far away from the CPU so it doesn't affect heating, the SSD is more cold than hot. I don't know where this problem comes from. Has anybody noticed a similar behaviour after installing a SSD? If you need additional information i will provide these.

    Hello and thank you for participating in this discussion,
    as i am the starter of this thread, i want to tell you the story how i fixed this problem.
    as you know the MacBook from Mid 2009 has TWO internal SATA ports, one for the optical drive and the other for storage devices such as HDD and SSD. Prior posting my problem here, i used this two ports as follows:
    SATA connector 1 (where by default the optical drive is attached to):
    here i placed the adapter cage from hardwrk (Link) and IN there i placed the old HDD, which was attached to SATA 2 before setting the MacBook up for SSD
    SATA connector 2 (where by default the HDD is attached to; below the optical drive):
    here i placed the new SSD
    With this setup i did experience the problems with higher working temperature of the MacBook. After testing on software level, turning TRIM on or off had no effect to the high temperature, i decided to open up the MacBook another time. i checked all the wires and connectors, everything okay. Back turned on, same problem.
    Then i decided to switch the devices. Means, SSD in adapter cage, HDD on the old place. Voila! Temperature problems are gone. Maybe you try this.
    Hope it helps. Let me know!

  • Can't boot into Mac OS after Windows install via Bootcamp

    Hello.
    Last night I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro early 2011 via Bootcamp.After some major complications I was able to finally install Windows 7 and boot into it. Now I can't boot back into my "Macintosh HD" partition, it shows a no entry sign.
    Hard Disk : 320GB Internal Sata
    Partitions : 3 -> Mac, Bootcamp and 10.8 Recovery Partition
    The good part is that I can still access the Mac OS partition in Windows and Windows is working perfectly fine. As a matter of fact right now I'm on the bootcamped windows.
    I have a full time machine backup but still I am looking for a way to solve this without formatting the HDD.
    Things I have tried:
    1. Resetting NVRAM and PRAM
    2. Booting into 10.8 recovery partition and running DU.
    SMART Status : Verified
    "Macintosh HD" grayed and Not Mounted
    Successful Verify Permissions (Twice)
    Is there a way to solve this? Though the Mountain Lion partition shows when I press the Alt/option key on startup but I can't somehow boot into it.
    Thanks

    Your problem is OS X is refusing to boot.
    There is still a bootable volume on the Macintosh HD partition, it's just not working.
    You can #8 Reinstall Just OS X while command r booted from the Recovery partition, as long as you don't use Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD partition, your files and programs remain.
    Hook the computer via Ethernet cable to a router (or modem, power reset required) with a fast relaible internet connection, you will need your AppleID and password to reinstall OS X.

  • IBook doesn't wake up after SSD install

    Hello, i've recently installed a 64Gb kingspec PATA SSD  to my iBook G4 1.2Ghz. All it's running well, Leopard detected the drive, installed without problems and the system is more fast and responsive. I only have a problem when waking up from sleep. The screen turns on, i can move the mouse and also the dock can be accesed but in few seconds the computer freezes and i have to hard power down. I can't launch any application and the logs show nothing.After reboot all goes fine.
    I've tried the following, without luck:
    * S.O reinstall
    * Tryin different hibernate modes using pmset, including disksleep=0.
    * I've disable "sleep the disk when possible"
    For any unknow reason the system can't write on the disk when waking up.
    Any help?

    If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
    Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following lines:
    reset-nvram
    press Return on keyboard
    set-defaults
    press Return
    reset-all
    press Return
    Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
    Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
    Cheers!

  • Time Machine problem after clean install

    I installed an SSD drive on my mac and did a clean install of OS X Lion.
    Now, when I access my time machine backup disk I can only restore applications and not any files.
    Is there anything I should do to be able to restore files etc.?

    Erase Lion from the hold commnad r boot into Recovery, then reinstall it again.
    Next when you setup Lion,  have teh TM drive connected and use Setup Assistant to transfer from TM drive.
    What I suspect happened is you have the same named account and it's conflicting.

  • Time Machine Backup after clean install?

    Hi,
    I just took the plunge and made a clean install of Mavericks on an SSD called "A". On this volume I only have the system and the applications. My User Account is on a separate volume "B" and my third volume is a 4TB volume "C" with my Time Machine backup. My volume "B" is backuped on the  TM volume "C".
    In the past I have had very nasty experiences with Time Machine, where a whole backup was deleted because Time Machine thought I was on a completely new computer. Now I don't want to repeat this experience, because when opened after the system install, TM didn't recognize neither volume "B" nor "C".
    Any ideas of how to make sure TM doesn't delete the old stuff? I don't want to try around and eventually lose everything.
    Thanks!

  • Why Wont my mac Mini Shut Down After SSD Install?

    Heres the Gist,
    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini (A1283) 2.53 GHz, 4gig ram.  that i've been running as a media server.  Recently the harddrive died in it. I decided to install a Intel 320 Series GEN3 SSD Drive.  The install went fine and clean, Mac booted up perfectly, installed a new version of OSX 10.6, no issues, did all the updates. The only software I installed was Plex Media Server (http://www.plexapp.com/)  and Google Chrome.
    Now my issue is, when i go to shut the Mac Mini down, all that happens is the dock disappears and all the desktop icons then it just sits there, nothing happens.  I reset the PMU and it still does the same thing, except now the fan is on high all the time.
    Other things i've tried:
    Verifiying and Repairing the Disc Permissions
    Verifiying and Repairing the Disc
    Closing all apps before shut down
    disconnecting all network drives and external drives before shut down
    reseting the PMU
    When I get home im going to try:
    Resetting the SMU.
    Running YASU (Although its a fresh install with no apps so not to sure what it will find)
    Im looking for any and all other suggestions to try.  I was considering upgrading to 10.7 to see if its just a software glitch, but im not to sure why this would be happening now.
    thanks for any and all advice in advance

    It's SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    1. Shut down the computer.

    Plus the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.

  • Boot keys stopped working after Leopard install

    I have seen others having this problem in another thread but no answers, so thought I'd give it a go.
    After reading these threads finally got Leopard to install and run okay. Many thanks all. But, along the way, my boot keys stopped working. It doesn't matter what I hold down, whether 'c' or 'cmd-opt-p-r' or 'shift' or any other key combination the machine just boots straight into Leopard.
    I have tried resetting the PMU (or whatever it is these days) via the internal button in desperation but still no luck.
    Anyone with any ideas?

    Same problem here, so I'll pull this post up. No key works.
    I always have to go to the Start Drive (or whatever it's called in english) in Preferences Panes and choose the partition I wish to start directly in OSX or Windows for booting back to OSX. This is very annoying. Alt key won't show up any possible boot disk although their both internal drives.
    If someone would kindly post any ideas how to change that, would be great. I've done a fresh install, with a Time Machine recovery, but this didn't seem to help.
    EDIT:
    I found another subjet here from november '07:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1224639
    it seems the new Apple Keyboard is the origin of the Problem on iMac Core Duo. Apple techs said that a new firmeware should be coming before the end of 2007 (but it's february 2008 now ?!?). Any other ideas how to get this work ? I'll write on Aplpe feedback page for sure. Maybe the other boot keys aren't working because of this keyboard too.

  • How to fix blackscreen Bootcamp after SSD install

    Hello
    I have an iMac mid 2011 21,5". I decided to boost it a little and that's when my issues started. Got no big problem to remove the optical drive, replace it with an SSD & add few gigs of RAM, but when I started to install windows 8.1 pro with bootcamp on the SSD, and keep the old HDD with MAC OSX I faced big issues.... (basically black screen with underscore blinking top left)
    I read here, especially from Loner T, that it was expected, as Bootcamp was installing something in the NVram to tell the iMac to read the CD in SATA rather than in USB. I tried an EFI installation, but that was a bad idea, some devices were missing (sound card, classical) and there was some BSOD that made no sense
    So I read that one option would be to modify the plist file, and add the USB boot, and try to install Windows that way, but rather than doing that option that I found a bit unreasonable (I guess that if USB boot is disabled for bootcamp for mid2011, there's a reason...?) ; I launched Bootcamp from Mac OSx, downloaded the utils/drivers on the USB key, selected the SSD as target harddrive and when the iMac rebooted I shut it down, replaced back the optidrive instead of the SSD, and put the SSD instead of the old HDD. Fans were running loud/full speed as expected as the old HDD was not here with its thermal sensor, but at least, when I restarted, Windows 8.1 pro installation started, and went till completion without an issue.
    I stopped everything, removed again the optidrive, and then but back the old hdd (for Fan issue + space matter) and put back the SSD at Optidrive space.
    and then rebooted... and faced something unexpected.
    At boot, I have again the blackscreen with underscore blinking...
    If I press ALT at boot, I can choose Mac OSX that boots well and properly. But if I select my SSD with Windows detected, I have the black screen.
    I wonder if everything is lost, or if it's just something to repair in the boot sequence...
    I have to admit that this is way above my skills
    if someone can help me, I made some sudo commands in yosemite, to share here and eventually find a solution...

  • Premiere-After Effects Dynamic Link render times vary wildly after minimal composition changes

    Here is something strange that happens a lot to me.
    I'll have a sequence in Premiere Pro CC 2014 that is entirely or largely an AE comp that I have dynamically linked.  I'll use a specific case as an example, but it's happened with various projects.
    In this most recent one the visual (but not audio) of my Premiere sequence is one AE dynamically linked comp of about 90 seconds.  It's more or less a fancy slide show- some photos with moves, some text, motion blur, masking, maybe a few filters.  Fairly basic stuff as far as After Effects goes.
    Anyhow, I like to render the sequence in Premiere and then watch it down with music to see if the timing works and make adjustments from there.  That's my usual workflow.  The strange thing is that when I render, the render times can vary tremendously.  With this particular project, one time rendered in about 2 minutes in Premiere.  I watched it down and I noticed a spelling error, which I fixed.  Just changing one word of text in AE.  This, of course, causes the entire linked comp to need to be rendered again in Premiere.  This time when I go to render, it took about 20 minutes and it only got about  70% of the way through.  A huge difference and all I changed was a couple letters, which shouldn't impact how intensive of a render is needed.  What I usually do is cancel the render when it takes that long, then quit Premiere, reopen, and render right away after I open.  When I do this, after the application restart, the sequence will then render in the faster approximately 2 minute duration.  Almost invariably this is true.
    So I end up quitting and restarting Premiere a lot to get the faster render times.  But of course that's annoying.
    What is going on here?
    I know that some might have critiques of the workflow and watching in Premiere and the fact that one letter change forces the entire sequence re-render.  I know I could break it up and there are ways around that.  But I am not interested in such critiques.  My work flow actually is quite efficient when the 2 minute render time happens.  Just not when it takes 10x more than that for the same thing.  Why are there these huge render time swings?
    My guess is that some cache gets filled up, so when the application is just started, and the cache is empty, the render works much better.  But I really do not know.
    Help please.

    There is currently a bug that causes Dynamic Link performance to be poor when the main After Effects application is running. (The underlying issue is that the main After Effects application is sending many more messages during Dynamic Link than it needs to.)
    The easy workaround is to quit the main After Effects application when using Premiere Pro to process a dynamically linked After Effects composition.
    This bug is fixed in an update due to be released in less than two weeks.

  • I am not able to access old Time Machine backups after OS install.

    Hi,
    I recently did a fresh install of Mountain Lion.  The system was getting sluggish from garbage collection, so I wiped it clean and started from scratch.  Prior the install, I ran one last backup just in case.  I went to restore some of my apps, like iWork '09, and I could not find any backups prior to my install dates.  I can see the files when I open up my Time Capsule with Finder.  But I cannot restore them using Time Machine.
    I tried dragging the iWorks programs over to the Applications folder, but the applications crash (Pages 4.2, Numbers 5.2, and Keynote 2.2).  I then tried going into the App Store and reinstalling them from my Purchases list.  All of my store bought purchase are there, but the iWork ones.  Which is odd, because they were updated from the App Store program after I dragged them over.
    The iWork programs I need from the backup.  Everything else is backed up in iCloud, iTunes, and the App Store.  I really need to get Pages up and running again.  Does anyone know what to do?  All else is irrelevant.

    If you installed iWork apps from a DVD, you need to use that DVD and reinstall the apps. Then update iWork to current using Software Update. There are other components from the DVD that need to be installed. I tried the same thing once and realized I had to reinstall and not restore from a TM backup.
    If you purchased the iWork apps from the App Store, you should be able to redownload and install these again. If the download button is greyed out, make sure your TM back up and/or clone drive is unmounted. Otherwise, the App Store will see this and think the apps are already installed.

    I bought and downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 from Amazon, which would seem to be a legitimate source. Everything runs smoothly, and seems correct up until the point of installation, when this happens after the installation process reaches 99%.
