Boot up time

Good morning all, i need the community support to find out if what is happening to my MB is normal or not.
It takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds for my MB Pro (with the below specs) to boot up. I only have Avast, Gmail notifier and Tunnelblick starting up when i turn it on, nothing else. I have around 320 Gigas of free disk space and also the 16 Megas of RAM.
Is it normal to take so long? This used to be such a fast booting machine, but now it is slow (only at start up) and with no virus or any other malware detected i don't know what to make of it. Also, lately the Wi Fi connection , also at start up seems to always be looking for a connection although it is always available. A simple on/off action solves it, but still, is it a prelude for something worse to come?
Thanks to all for the support.

Hello,
I have uninstalled Avast and it improved around 15 seconds, now it takes 1 minute and 15 seconds to boot up. Below is the report from Etrecheck.

If you have any further help, please let me know. I really think it should boot up more quickly than 1:15 but maybe its just me. Also, for the AV software, do you recomend Clamxav? I had it installed before, but it started to give weird messages upon start up.
Thanks once again.

I have read the various threads regarding slow boot up times, on my 2009 MBP it takes 1 minute to get a usable interface but without doing anything else the HD is active for a further minute, is this reasonable ?

My MBP after the Lion upgrade takes 1 minute to put something usable on screen and without doing anything else the HD is active for another minute.
I have visited the Genius bar where they went through some maintenance routines and permissions repaired etc but the boot up time remains the same.
I have cleared the cache as suggested in other threads but is this the best I can expect as with SL the computer booted up in about 30 seconds ?
I recall reading there may be unwanted programs loading at boot up time but I do not know where to look in the system to check.

Thanks for the reply, I have followed your suggestion but unfortunately it has not improved the boot time, do you have any further advice you could offer me ?
I use my MBP for working on and storing my photographic images following my Photoshop adjustments, these individual image files are between 50 to 60Mb, I was reading about OSX self defragmenting files below 20Mb, these files are not intended as start up items but do you think storing approx 200Gb of these files could be having so effect ? I am a fromt end user so my limited knowledge is restricted to repairing permissions etc. I am probably clutching at straws but it be better to store these images on an external HD in addition to my backups on other HD's.
Thanks.

1) How to reduce MacBook boot up time? 2) Should I upgrade my 2008 MacBook to Lion? 3) How long will a 2008 MacBook last (after 4 years)? Thanks!

I have three quick questions to ask:
1. My MacBook (bought in late 2008, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 160 GB HD, running Leopard/10.5.8) boots up quite slow. It can take a while to boot up and shut down.
Question: What should I do to reduce the boot up time?
I haven't done a clean up for a while, and am a MacBook newbie (after 4 years, still) for the tools. I think I need to remove some applications but don't know exactly how. Also I am looking for stuff like System Defragment / Compression (tools available for Windows OS) to tune the hard disk performance, if possible.
2. Sort of related to this slow boot-up time - should I bother to upgrade to Snow Leopard (pay $ 29.00) and then upgrade to Lion (another $ 29 ?) for some 250 new features that I am not exactly sure if I will need it (or my 2008 MacBook can handle it well)?
My friend has a 2011 MacPro which he let me use it for a while, so I think I am already using Lion, but frankly I can't tell much difference from the user experience (am just a very average Mac user!).
Question: Should I bother the money and the time (I heard the downloading and installation time for Lion is very long) if all I care is boot-up time?
3. One last question - How long can my MacBook last? Is there a way to find out the battery life? Any indication that my MacBook might be on the edge of its life cycle anytime soon?
I heard that typically the life for a laptop (PC or Mac) is 2 years. I am not a heavy user, and I guess that's why my MacBook is still alive after 4 years. But should I expect that to be failing any time soon?
Thank you!

I'll try to make it short but with your questios, might be impossible.
I own both late 2008 MB Uni with 2Ghz and a brand new late 2011 MBP 13 inch.
I have lion running on both Macbooks with no slow down or issues.
The late 2008 I upgraded to 8GB Crucial DDR3 Memory and 320GB Seagate Hard Drive. Total cost to me? $140 CDN ( i live in Canada ).
My MB Uni's battery has 1047 cycle count and I still get 3-1/2 - 4 hours of battery life depending on what applications I'm using.
As for typical life of a PC or MAC ( I own both ). The PC's life is shorter than a MB. I have a 4 year old Dell Vostro that I had to do a RAM upgrade so Windows 7 would run properly.
My late 08 MB had 4GB of RAM when I upgraded to Lion with no issues. i just decided to go 8GB because it was cheap.
A 2GB MB will boot up and run faster than a 4GB PC with windows 7.
Nothing is obsolete if you can still do your stuff on your MB.
To make it boot up faster, see what's loading on startup and take them off if you don't need them.

I've noticed a delay to boot up time on my 2011MBP SSD after power outage but bookmark tests show same performance

I shoul add that the MBPS was plugged into surge protector at the time but there is a noticeable seven seconds added to the normal boot up time and the grey wheel does not appear when booting up.

as to why it happens - could be any number or reasons - got changed by mistake if you booted holding the options key, could be just a simple bug or when you restarted your macbook when it locked up on you or it could've been that power outage you mentioned when your SSD was busy doing something...
it doesn't happen often and when it does - now you know where to go...
good luck and hopefully all is good and it wouldn't happen to you again...
have a good day

Boot up time of MacBook Pro 13" 2.5GHz i5 vs MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display with 2.4GHz i5

Hello
Does anyone know
"the boot up time of MacBook Pro 13" 2.5GHz i5 vs MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display with 2.4GHz i5?"
Thanks

A bit simplifying :
there are two parts in boot process - one-before spinning thing, other - spinning thing to desktop.
First part is hardware inits, you can not speed it up. It is for sure longer for your MBP than for her - its normal, more hardware and it is more sophisticated so longer init.
Second part depends on HD (SSD) speed.
Say so - I have M4 SSD and second part is 1 to 2 spins until login window. Should be more or less same for you.
If it is not so - probably something is not good with filesystem and some config files, most probably due to cloning instead of install. Reboot from recovery, repair drive (first - drive as a whole, second - boot partition), then reboot permissions. reboot two times as normal. see what'll happen with timing.

Boot up time with Samsung 830 SSD? - MacBook Pro 13" 2.9GHz Mid2012

Hey everyone,
Just got my first mac ever! Snagged a pretty nice deal on a MacBook Pro 2.9 GHz 13" Mid2012 model by getting it refurbished.
I immediately cloned my hard drive using CCC and installed a Samsung 830 SSD (256 GB). I believe I did install it correctly as using black magic speed test I put up some pretty good numbers --> 400 MB/s Write and 490 MB/s Read.
However, the boot up time seems a bit slow for a out of box MacBook Pro considering I upgraded the hard drive.
I was clocking in around 40 seconds... Is that abnormally slow?
I know its kind of silly looking timing the start up of your computer... I just expected faster, and this is my first hard drive installation... I hope I didn't mess up!
Thanks for your help in advance,
Weston

Have to reset my router to recovery wifi signal and re boot face time on iphone4s.

Have to reset my router to recovery wifi signal and re boot face time on iphone4s.
Scenario1:
1/ Mac Pro. Iphone4s connected to my home wifi
2/ Face time call coming
3/ Pick up by Mac Pro.
No issue found.
Scenario2:
1/ Mac Pro. Iphone4s connected to my home wifi
2/ Face time call coming
3/ Pick up by Iphone4s.
4/ call auto drop off within 1 min chatting
5/ Wifi signal on both iphone4s and Mac Pro were found gone
6/ Reset router ( always show “cannot join XX network” unless reset router at least 1 time)
7/ Wifi signal will available after 5 ~10mins,
8/ Face time via iphone4S again, almost no problem….
Suppose it is a compatibility issue of iphone4s and TP-link router?
I already suffered the iphone4S face time drop off issue for more than 2 week… Hope it can be fixed soon….

I agree with @sabretooth. The connection status showing 100Mbps is only the local Ethernet network speed and since your router uses the Wireless-G technology, then you can get a maximum of 54Mbps for the wireless network speed. This network speed is significant when communicating within the local network of the router but it is still the 10Mbps internet subscription speed that is used when sending and receiving data or information through the internet.
It seems you’re experiencing a dropping connection and it would be better to isolate the issue before buying another router. Connect a computer wired directly to your Arris modem and observe the connection. If connection is good then it will give you a hint that it’s a possible router issue. You can then press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds, power cycle, reconfigure the internet connection and check if the problem persists.

Monitor doesnt wake up when booting first time, have to restart - k9n ultra-2f

So, I have few problems. The main problem is in da topic:
I bought an used computer about two weeks ago. I installed windows and all drivers etc.
With the old bios (cant remember what version) all was okay except always in boot an error message was shown that said something that the proseccor could not be recognised but the processor was still shown right in My Computer.. :s
Because of that error message i decided to update bios. I updated it throught live update 3 to v.3.6 and now i dont get the processor error message but the monitor doesnt wake up in the boot.. I have to press reset button and then when the monitor wakes up there comes an error message what says something like "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed, and the system is restored to the defauls settings". Then I press any key and windows boots normally.
I reupdated v.3.6 bios today manually from floppydisk but the problem didnt go anywhere.
I have searched this forum but cant find same kind of problem posted.
Can somebody please help me with this and tell what could be the problem?
Also when booting second time so that the monitor wakes up, i get four alert sounds.. What could those mean?
My computer is pretty powerful (amd athlon 64 5600+ x2, club3d gf 7950gt, 2gb 533mhz..) It should be very smooth and fast but it often appears slowliness and ..how can i say it.. temporary tilting? :p And the 3dmark03 benchmark gives me 19465 points, it should be giving much more. The computer is clean, no viruses or adware. What could cause this?
Sorry for the messy message and bad english and im not really good at computers

Thanks for the reply.
I didnt have this issue before updating BIOS..
And i didnt find jbat1 from my k9n ultra-2f. I didnt even find it from the mb manual. Theres only a Clear CMOS Button: SW2. I pushed it few times and then i rebooted my computer. At the first time the monitor woke up instantly and i was like wohooooo but then i shut down the computer and booted it again.. The monitor didnt wake up before pressing the reset button, the same problem was back.
I think that the SW2 button reset the bios settings like the jbat1 would do, because i had disabled the big logo at the boot and after pressing SW2 the logo was back.
Then i set the memory vcore to 2.0V but it didnt help. Infact i think the computer had come a bit more slowly.. :s I think it may be the RAM what makes my comp so slow... dunno.

Sudden increase in boot-up time (OSX Lion, MacBook Pro)

Hi all,
I have a 2010 MacBook Pro, with the following specs;
OSX Lion
Intel i7 2.8GHz (dual core)
8GB RAM
256GB SSD HDD
Intel HD graphics
The issue that I have been having is a sudden, unexplained increase in boot-up time. Yesterday and for the past two years, my MBP took circa 15 seconds to boot up, but today it has been taking approximately 5 minutes. I have the latest software update.
My hard drive space is running low; I only have 4GB of space left, could this be a contributing factor?
When I switch on the laptop, it get to the picture of the Apple logo, without the spinning gear below, hangs there for approximately 4 minutes, and then eventually continues to the user log-in screen.

Launch the Console 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or freeze, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search that archived log, and if necessary the older ones below it, for the same information.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Do the same with kernel.log.
Step 3
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Boot From Time Capsule

Is it possible to boot from Time Capsule? I don't see any FireWire Ports.

I think that if Apple's smart, they'll configure it to work like NetBoot/NetInstall. In other words, as long as you're on the same subnet, just hold down Option (or N) while booting, and you'll see the Time Capsule option.
Maybe at the very least, you'll have to boot to the Leopard DVD, and you'll have the option to restore from Time Capsule.

BIOS update results in slower boot up time

I have an HP dv5 laptop running Vista x64 SP2 with an Intel duo core 2.53GHz CPU with 4Gb of RAM. The BIOS was version F09A up until yesterday, when I happened to notice that the latest BIOS available is F21A. I checked the prior BIOS updates and noticed that F16A had an update for supporting SP2. I had already updated my system with SP2 earlier this year and didn't notice any issues, but I figured I should do this anyway. I flashed my BIOS with F21A.
The update worked fine. However, I noticed my cold start up time to be considerably longer, perhaps 25-50% longer. So, rather than continuing with this I rolled back to the 2nd latest firmware that noted SP2 support, version F16A. Still, I have the same kind of sluggish start-up.
I don't really understand why this is happening. Is it normal for BIOS revisions to affect boot up times like this? I'm wondering if I should just roll back to F09A... but now I'm worried that this may trip something up, going backwards like this. Everything was generally working well before this...
Any advice?
"If you keep an open mind, life will give you more possibilities."

Any ideas on this?
I'm definitely noticing a slower boot up time after upgrading my BIOS. Is it OK to roll back to the previous BIOS I was using? Is it a 100% fresh "reset", or is it possible it may not be completely as before?

Installing UltraNav Driver increases boot up time

I'm using a Thinkpad W520 with Windows 7 and a Crucial M4 256GB SSD (not sure if this is also part of the cause of the problem). Normally the boot up time is between 20 to 25 seconds. However, when I update the UltraNav driver to the latest version, the boot up time is significantly increased to around 50 seconds. And when I use Device Manager to roll back the version of the UltraNav driver to PS/2 Compatible Mouse, the boot up time is normal again.
My question is: has anyone else also observed this incompatibility issue between UltraNav with (Windows 7 or SSD)? Is there a solution to this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like some conflict in drivers somewhere. What if you install the drivers, but uncheck the startup entries in MSCONFIG?
My boot times have always been fine with the drivers installed.

[SOLVED] Improve boot up time of wireless WPA protected network

Hi guys
I just installed arch for the first time so i am really a newbie
I have recent hardware intel 2500k, crucial SSD and so on so i can boot up from grub to X using pekwm as WM (no DM) in about 5 seconds. Very impressive.
I would like to keep my arch as minimal and tiny as possible.
My problem is on network boot up time.
I am using WPA personal wireless network and i have to wait further 10 seconds since the boot of X to have the network working properly. So i have to wait about 15 seconds to have a fully working PC
I tried wicd. I really don't need network scanning so i followed the the netcfg wiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg
and i am using net-profiles method

Please don't misunderstand me....wait 15 seconds is not really a problem but i would like to know your opinion in fastest boot up network method to improve my skill with arch
Bye

Shouldn’t you also have a NETWORKS parameter in your /etc/rc.conf ? I’ve been using netcfg for a while now, sorry I cannot tell you if I must wait more-or-less-than 15 seconds for my network to initialize, but it seems pretty fast, almost instantaneous, using wpa2personnal with a static ip.
3 configuration files are involved in my setup, and for what it’s worth, here they are:
#1 /etc/rc.conf (only relevant sections shown)
# NETWORKING
HOSTNAME="myhost"
interface=
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
NETWORK_PERSIST="no"
NETWORKS=(mywireless) # Requires netcfg
# + profile in /etc/nework.d/
# DAEMONS # + net-profiles daemon below
DAEMONS=(@mpd @net-profiles @dbus @alsa @sshd @syslog-ng @crond !gpm)
#2 /etc/network.d/mywireless (this file can be named whatever but must match the NETWORKS line in /etc/rc.conf)
CONNECTION='wireless'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa-config'
WPA_CONF='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.1.234'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
GATEWAY='192.168.1.1'
#3 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="My_SSID"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
group=CCMP
pairwise=CCMP
psk=64charactersalphanumericstringthatwasgeneratedusingwpapassphrase
*Edit* I realize I don’t _have_ to use three files, I know I can also achieve the same result using only two config files (I don’t remember the reason why I setup my connection this way but I like it !) ; anyway, the two last files can also be ‘combined’ like such, so that file #2 (/etc/network.d/mywireless) becomes this :
CONNECTION='wireless'
INTERFACE=wlan0
SECURITY='wpa-configsection'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.1.234'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
GATEWAY='192.168.2.1'
CONFIGSECTION='
ssid="My_SSID"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
group=CCMP
pairwise=CCMP
psk=64charactersalphanumericstringthatwasgeneratedusingwpapassphrase
so this way there really is no need for file #3 (/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf) (but the NETWORKS line in /etc/rc.conf would still required with though)

CRIO Boot up time

Hi All
I am using cRIO 9012 with NI 9853, and Gxxx modules. The problem is the cRIO takes approx. 30 sec to boot up and start execution. It’s comparably higher than other real time controllers. Why its too slow?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in bunch for your quick valuable information.
Application like vehicle datalogger needs faster boot up time, so it will not loose any bus-traffics during engine start up. 10 – 15 sec is quite Ok.
I have one more question.
I have created Real time application and deployed in cRIO. I turned on the option set as start up and I reboot the controller, the application running perfectly.
But if I try to run my Host VI (contains only shared variables) it closes my Real time start up application and it throw an warning message as shown in attachment file .
Tell me please where I am doing mistake?.
I want to run the Host VI without closing the VIs running on target, to transfer data using shared variable.

Qosmio F50 series - Slow boot up time

My laptop is just one day old. Why is the boot up time so slow. On Windows it takes forever to get past the "Please wait" screen, about 1-2 mins. Is this the case with everybodies.
Thanks

Hello
I don't know what notebook model do you have exactly but nice discussion about slow boot up you can read under
