Details of your specific hardware/software setup are in play, of course.
But, yes, that sounds normal.

  • Why is it taking forever for my MacBook pro to start up?

    It is taking forever for my MacBook pro to start up. It's been on the screen with the grey apple and the spinning icon for about 20 minutes now. I tried holding down the shift button when powering up to reboot in safe mood but that is taking forever as well. Any suggestions?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • How long does the update for ios 7

    How long does the update take on an ipad 2 for the ios 7?

    The update has been going for 3 1/2 hours.  The screen is black, if I hit the on/off button, the screen comes up with Itunes symbol with the usb cord.  I assume it means I need to connect it to itunes through my computer.
    I don't know if I lost my wifi connection during the update or not.
    Does that sound right?

  • How long does it take for your iPad to restart? Mine takes 7.5 mins...

    Hello, new to the forum. Hoping I can get some good advice here.
    The first thing I thought I'd find out is if everyone else's iPads take as long to restart as mine. Mine shows the small silver Apple logo for 7 and a half minutes before I can use it. Is this normal?
    Mine is the 64GB wifi + 3G model.
    Looking forward to your replies!

    Hiya, thanks for your reply. I did the reset all as you suggested and that took only 20 seconds or so. Took me a while to get all my apps back on the pages I had had them, but no problem... The kind of reset I am talking about is when you hold down both the exterior buttons until the little silver apple logo appears. That apple logo sits there for over 7 mins before I can use the iPad. Its the same with turning it off, when you swipe the thingy when prompted. My iPad has always done this, even since before the recent software update. I will try doing the reset through iTunes that you mention though. I like my iPad so much that I rarely even bother to turn on my main computer. I've got so many cool games and music making apps on the iPad, the computer rarely gets used now!

  • Why does it take so long for my MacBook Pro to start?

    When I start up my MacBook, it takes a good minute or two for the gray screen to go away.  Is this normal, or is there something I can do to speed up the process?

    try this - go to system preferences and select your hard drive as the start up drive - even if it's already selected, select it again and restart your macbook.
    if that doesn't work - do a SMC RESET and see if it improves the way your Macbook performs.
    while you're at it - once you're up and running - open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - if errors are found, repair them and restart your Macbook and see if that makes it perform faster for you.
    also see how much disk space you've got left.  when you're close to full, it's normal for your macbook to slow down.
    good luck - hope those tips helps you out.

  • How long does "Configuring sync for MobileMe" take?

    After getting used to my 3GS I took the next step to sync with my MacBkPro via MobileMe. I have gotten all the way through the process to "Find my iPhone" and the wheel is going around saying "Configuring sync for MobileMe" for about 20 minutes. How long should it take? Is it related to the number of Contacts I have in my iPhone which is also synced to my server at work and has 100's of contacts. How long should I wait and how do I abort?

    Same sort of thing going on here.
    What ended up happening?

  • If you cache credentials in Safari how long does it last for on iOS?

    Can anyone verify how long cached login credentials last in Safari, and when they get cleared without user intervention?
    I have been reading other posts relating to a change that was made to Safari but not sure if it is related "Several people have reported problems that Safari’s cache prevents them from browsing a web site’s current version; instead Safari loads pages from previous cached files  (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch). It has also been reported that clearing cache, cookies and history does not fix this problem."
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Mine just quit, it froze in the rebooting screen and does nothing else, please help. How can I restore it to factory state

  • How much can I get for my Macbook Pro?

    I'm in the market for a new Macbook Pro, thus I'm looking to sell my old one. It's a 2006 model, and it has a few dents and scratches as a result of frequent use and carrying it around.
    Processor = 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
    Memory = 2 GB
    Hard Drive = 500 GB
    It's fully operational, runs smoothly and everything, but there are two main flaws: Number one, the battery has died, so it only works when the charger is plugged in. I can easily replace the battery, though. The other problem is that the motherboard is acting a bit weird. Every now and then the computer will completely freeze up, forcing a restart. This is the main reason I'm in the market for a new one.
    With all of this being said, can anyone give an estimate on how much I should expect for it? The motherboard issue is the main flaw, so I'm not expecting to be able to sell it for some crazy amount. Maybe someone can use it for parts or something. Any estimates? Thanks.

    Apple has their recycle deal through PowerON Services, and BestBuy will give you an estimate online (you get the most if you take a gift card, less if you want a check). Since both are looking to make a profit off of the recycled machines, you'll get less than a private sale, but for an older parts machine, maybe not that much less.
    My 5 year old powerbook G4, which does still work fine, has a still mildly useful battery and is very good cosmetically was only worth about $164 according to the BestBuy site (which I was actually pleasantly surprised about, since I figured it was only worth about half that).

  • How much could I get for my MacBook Pro?

    I have a late 2007 MacBook Pro (November). 2.2GHz, 200GB HDD, 4GB RAM, and I was wondering if anyone knew how much I could get for it. The video card is slowly dying too and I wanted to trade this computer and spend some extra money to get an ipad 2 16GB.

  • How often does Apple release a new MacBook Pro?

    I am planning on buying a MacBook Pro (unsure of the specific model right now) and I am wondering when Apple will release a new model so I can either buy the latest or buy an older one for a cheaper price. It's like getting a new phone- you buy an iPhone 5 with a 2-yr contract then the iPhone 5s and 5c come out. When I get an estimate as to when a new Macbook Pro will come out, I'll determine if I'll wait or not. This is a big decision, so I need the most accurate answer. Thanks for any help

    Sorry, no one here can provide an answer.
