HP DX2450 Microtower slow boot to POST screen.
Hi all
Product Name and Number: HP DX2450 Microtower PC
Operating System: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
When I power on the PC, it takes the computer roughly 20-30 seconds to get to the POST/HP menu screen. After that, it boots into Windows 7 pretty quickly and operation is normal.
So, when I hit the power button the screen is black with "no signal" displayed for about 20-30 seconds, then up pops the HP POST screen and it boots fine.
I've tried everything under the sun to eliminate this:
1. Pulled all RAM from system and booted with individual sticks inserted.
2. MemTest ran - no errors
3. HDD Regenerator ran - no errors
4. Check disk ran - no errors
5. Disabled floppy, USB, LAN boot, CD-ROM groups, floppy groups, audio, internal speaker in BIOS - no luck
6. Reset CMOS - set correct date/time - no luck
7. Ran HP Diagnostics at boot - CPU, RAM and hard drive all OK
8. Ran SMART test on Hard drive - all OK
9. Unplugged all USB devices at boot - no luck
10. Reinstalled Win 7 on another hard drive plugged into PC - no luck.
11. Upgraded BIOS to latest ver (5.63) - no luck.
I'm out of ideas. I'm starting to convince myself that its just the way the PC works and its normal for it to take 20-30 seconds to kick in.
The only other thing I've done is upgrade the RAM to 4GB, but memTest is NOT showing any errors.
Any ideas, guys?
Regards,
Jonathan.

Hp pavilion hpe h8-1070uk - cant boot past post screen - help!!!!!!
Hello,
Please help me HP!
I have a hp pavilion hpe h8-1070uk and recently upgraded the boot disk to a SSD and also installed Windows 8 64 pro. The system ran very well indeed.
After a few months of problem free usage, windows update said that Windows 8.1 was ready to install and all I need do is reboot to install it.
I selected to postpone the install for 4 hours and continued worrking away - I then went to bed and when I came back to the computer 6 or 7 hours later - the Win 8.1 install process was 52% completed but had hung...
On power cycling the system, the PC halts at the post delay screen and if I press Escape as the system boots, the screen shows 'start up menu' on the lower right of the screen (the post delay text remains unchanged) and the systems just hangs...
The lights and fan are on
The keyboard num lock key is on
No disk activity is shown (HD led, etc)
There are no errors displayed on screen or beeping sounds made
I have removed all usb devices and the HD (SSD) to see if this would at least allow the machine to boot and show a missing disk\OS message - this had no effect although the post screen does show a keyboard error - on replugging the keyboard (but not the SSD HD) the system still halts at the post screen with no error shown.
If you can please advise what I can do to resolve this problem - I really need to use the computer and can not see how it could have become damaged - Please, please help!!!SUCCESS - at least for me (after already shopping on Amazon and Ebay for replacement motherboard).
After reading MANY posts about this in various forums, a common theme was removing hardware. I tried that, and as OP had done, at one point I removed everything including cables from MB to front panel USB ports.
What worked was plugging in the old HDD I had cloned from a couple days ago. Yes, this fixed a booting problem at the POST phase. And I was able duplicate the works/doesn't work circumstances repeatedly after that.
If you haven't solved your problem (it's been a month), I would try a different HDD or putting a bootable DVD or attaching a bootable USB drive (of anything). SOMETHING bootable for a confused boot loader to find (I suspect the boot loader on your HDD got corrupted when Win8.1 didn't install completely).
My setup was a Compaq Vision CQ2723w with Win7 and an EFI boot system. Part of the boot loader resides in NVRAM (presumably on the MB). Things worked fine until I got done setting everything up (including booting from F9 boot menu very often) and removed the thumb drive with a bootable Win7 Install on it and rebooted. Based on what I saw later (bcdedit /enum firmware), there are many duplicate boot manager and USB HARD DISK entries. There is even an entry from the Acronis loader used during disk cloning ... and neither disk was plugged in at the time. Hence my belief that boot loader stuff is stored on the MB. (Microsoft Tech blog talked about the firmware version, but didn't mention physical location).
Long story getting longer ...
I suspect
(1) BIOS searches for bootable devices. How else can it present a newly installed boot source (and it lists HDDs by model number) in the boot menu.
(2) the thumb drive was causing "it's" boot manager settings to be first choice in the MB firmware. When I could get into BIOS, I would put the EFI entry for USB HARD DISK after other EFI entries in the boot order. Whenever I booted Win7 Install from the thumb drive, it would be back on top.
(3) when I booted without the thumb drive installed, the overall boot process was "confused" or partially corrupt somewhere (like on the 250 GB Seagate HDD). I would see 6 entries for "Windows Boot Manager" in the F9 boot menu.
(4) When I put in the old 500 GB Seagate HDD, F9 Boot Menu and F10 Setup worked again. Boot Manager would come back with "no system found" and I had to manually select the 500 GB Seagate from the F9 boot menu. Once that happened, the default choice of Boot Manager in the startup menu worked again. Did the HDD load "it's" boot manager settings at the top of the MB firmware????
At the end, with a "working" system, I replaced the HDD with a cloned SSD (the goal at the beginning of this journey), kept the bootable thumb drive in my pocket, booted from the SDD (listed in the F9 boot menu), and repeatedly booted. A quick peek at the boot menu showed one of the Boot Manager(s) to be the default choice.
I still have multiple Boot Managers listed in the F9 Boot Menu. "bcdedit /enum firmware" still shows a display order with four duplicates for <bootmgr> and six of the GUID associated with USB HARD DRIVE. BUT THE SYSTEM BOOTS!!!!
Now, I just have make sure bootable USB drives do not come within 10 feet (and I'm hanging on to the original 500 MB Seagate that "fixes" the problem when its connected.
Hope this helps you or someone/somewhere/sometime to solve their problem or get one step closer to understanding how all this booting crap really works (or doesn't). -
Slow boot after blue screen and system restore
I did the updates (Security 2008-002, Safari 3.1 and others) in Software Updates and then could not get past the blue screen. Tried all the advice on these boards but none worked. So I used Time Machine to restore the system. It worked except that now the booting process pauses (on a blue screen) for about 5 minutes. Then the process completes and everything appears to be fine.
However, this delayed booting does not seem right and never happened before.
Anything I can do?

KenWhat kind of incompatibility issues?
How far does the xp installation get?
What do you mean by 'uninstalling the vista bootloader'?
It seems very unusual that you can't boot from the CD anymore. Maybe double check the boot priority again, or have CD as the only boot option?
I can make XP BSOD and Reboot on my V200 by setting the SATA mode to AHCI. *no floppy = no F6 driver installation
I can't recall how VISTA reacted to setting SATA to AHCI.
Let me know how it turns out. -
Slow Booting Leopard (Blue Screen)
I was trying to tweak my boot time of leopard. It shows a blue screen for a long time before showing desktop. I checked log and found a few problems and deleted and unloaded various services (I removed machinit_peruser.d and mach_init.d folders and inloaded com.apple.dnbobserver.plist. Finally I think I got the problem in the log but I am not sure of the solution to tweak it.
this is the log which seems culprit to me.
+08/05/08 4:31:41 PM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] com.openssh.sshd: Already loaded+
+08/05/08 4:31:52 PM org.ntp.ntpd[25] Error : nodename nor servname provided, or not known+
+08/05/08 4:32:14 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.UserEventAgent-LoginWindow[78]) Exited:Terminated+
So majority of blue screen time (almost 23 seconds) is spend here. Any idea what is is this UserEventAgent thing or org.ntp.ntpd stuff and any suggestions to shut them off.
I am sure many users have the same problem. If someone could find out why is this happening, I am sure it is resolved issue.More Updates:
I figured out org.ntp.ntpd is related to time server thing. So disabling auto time updates, i narrowed down to the following log
+08/05/08 4:59:31 PM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] com.openssh.sshd: Already loaded+

So I guess I am pretty sure, blue screen has something to do with com.apple.UserEventAgent-LoginWindow. Can anyone tell me what it is and can we safely unload it from launch agents and how? -
Macbook on Snow Leopard Sleep freeze, slow boot time, blue screen, ... etc.
The macbook has the following problems:
1. When closing the lid or pressing the power button the computer freezes, the fans start spinning fast it stays like that until it drains the battery. This happens every time.
2. Start-up times are very long, like 3 or 4 minutes. This also happens every time.
3. Now after a fresh snow leopard install it doesn't even start up completely, as it stays with the blue background and I can hear the music of the introductory animation.
The macbook worked ok with the factory installed Tiger. The SL DVD is OK, as its installation has been tested on another Mac. The machine's advanced hardware test passed successfully. Resetting Pram and similar actions were unsuccessful as solving the problem.
I don't know what else to do... please help.So mine started doing some of the same things. It freezes when it goes into sleep mode. Then it starts to get really really hot and the drive starts spinning fast. It also takes a very long time to boot up. And it's unresponsive sometimes. I've wiped the drive and reinstalled a few times, but it's still like that. I don't know what's wrong.

Slow boot, 3 min. of blue screen
Sirs
I have read many slow boot, and blue screen issues here. I have re-installed SL.
I have removed the LaunchDaemons, ran /sbin/fsck -fy (no repair needed).
I did repair permissions and received this message:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I'm running OS X 10.6.3 on a MacBookPro 3,1 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 160Gb drive with 69Gb avail.
It takes 3.5 minutes to boot with 3 of them stuck on the blue screen after the apple is gone.
any help would be much appreciated.
thank you

mmmhhh i was also looking for suspicious trash in preferences. how did u manage to think it was that corrupt file?
Hi c,
The safest way to test for things like this is to create a backup clone (CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! or Time Machine), make sure it's totally current, and then you can go in and do things that you wouldn't normally do; if you create more problems, then you can just clone the pre-problems backup back to your internal HD and you're back to where you started. I learn a lot this way (not all of it good! ). I have multiple backups, and I'm still freaked out when I move/trash/change something and my Mac won't boot. Then it's just a matter of cloning back or restoring things from TM.

Both of my Beige G3's are slow booting eg black screen for approx two minutes before they hit the grey screen then everything seems to run normally. Figured it was a problem with memory testing so turned it off in the control panel but that changed nothing. Both have 768MB of PC100 memory.
Both are running OS 9.2, the All-in-one has had a cpu swap to a Sonnet G4 500MHZ zif card with factory jumper positions while the Tower has an Apple G3 450MHZ zif card at 70MHZ system bus. Both had the cuda resets and both have new 7200 rpm hard drives with fresh system installations.
The AIO has also been partitioned and has OSX and OS 9.2 on separate partitions with the X partition being 7.5 GB in the first 8 GB of disk space. The AIO is using it's built in video with a 4MB card to bump it up to 6MB of VRAM.
The tower only has the main partition with 9.2 and a scratch disk for PS. The tower is running an ATI Radeon 7000 mac edition video card.
Oh and they have also had brand new PRAM batteries installed so I'm stumped at this point as to what it is or is this normal for both?
KevinWhat version of OSX are you running?
I had a similar issue with my Beige G3 minitower (G3/500 upgrade; 768MB RAM; 80 + 120G Maxtor 7200 rpm drives; ATI Radeon 9200) with 10.2.8; we called it "55 seconds of midnight." However, mine would not show the gray apple screen. After just under a minute, the monitor would come up and be about 2/3 of the way through the progress bar. Other than that, teh computer ran fine.
There are a couple of issues at play. The Beige G3 ALWAYS boots initially to a screen res of 640x480, then switches to the user-selected res after the prefs load. If the monitor or video card cannot support 640x480, you get black until your user prefs load.
Some have reported this after replacing the original hard drive. Others say it happens when they installed a PCI video card. You've done both.
Try temporarily removing RAM until you have LESS than 192MB installed and see if it gets better. If it does, then this Apple article applies:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25564
The bottom line for me is that it's a Jaguar problem. When I installed Panther via XPostFacto v3.1, the problem went away. The old beast runs under Panther much better than it did under Jag. -
MOVED: Msi K9A2 Platinum slow boot up on Vista 64 Bit
This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120556.0
The problem described is Vista related.I experienced similar problems this weekend with my rig.
I have two WD Raptor drives, 150GB on the promise controller and SATA DVD on SB600. If I started Vista, it would boot, show POST screen, then I would see the initial Windows green bar, but after a minute with lots of disk activity then the system would reboot.
Next, I would then be promoted to start windows normally, or start with the last known good configuration, sometimes this worked, sometime it did not. This happended for a while, until I managed to install all of the optional and recommended Vista 64bit OS patches and an updated promise raid driver.
Once these were installed, my system had no boot problems at all, so I would make sure your promise driver is up to date and that all the Vista 64bit OS patches, updates etc are installed. -
Re: Satellite P300 - POST screen blank on booting up and very slow start up
Hi,
I have a laptop Satellite P300. On booting up vista the microsoft logo comes up and then when the POST screen should be showing me what the bios is checking the screen is blank.
It remains blank for 5 to 10 mins then the pointer appears then it finally goes to the desktop.
I suspect the bios is hanging on something but I can't see cos the screen is blank. I suspect there is a setting somewhere. I can enter the bios but can't find anything in there.
Also regards to the extremely slow boot, I have disabled nearly all the start up programs but it has made no difference.
Has anyone any ideas?
ThanksHi
Everything runs slowly but finally the Windows OS boots up properly. Right?
Hmm. you can access the BIOS press F2 immediately after power button has been pressed.
This should allow you to access the BIOS. There you should press F9 to set the BIOS to default settings. Save the changes and reboot the unit again.
Additionally I would recommend checking the HDD. You could use a tool called Drive Fitness Test. This tool can be downloaded for free (google for that).
By the way; did you try to recover the notebook using recover disk?
Maybe you should try this but note; this would format the HDD so backup the date before starting recovery. -
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been experimenting with the evaluation version of WS2012e trying to get the installation and subsequent build into an optimal set up, and once I have everything I want it to do mapped out, I'll set it up with the full version with using the key that
I bought.
However, I've noticed that the server seems to experience a delay during cold boot - it sits with a Please Wait screen for about 60-90 seconds before it presents the screen with an option to Log on. I have also discovered from running Health
Report, that there are some entries in the event logs which appear to coincide with start up times, and which seem to be interconnected to each other in the issues they are describing, and I have copied an example of one of those health reports below.
I assume that everything sorts itself out in due course, because the events say the process will be re-attempted and these errors don't repeat again after the system has booted up. I also have the server set to suspend when not in use with the Lights
Out add in, so it shouldn't need to cold boot often - but I wondered if there's a way to correct these errors so that they don't hold up the boot up process? I'm also concerned that these errors will cause me later problems with storage pools and
the like at a later date - the disk replication one seems particularly worrying. Alternatively, are these errors just a normal part of the start up process - the timing of when different processes start relative to each other - and can be safely ignored?
In trying to understand what the events describe, I thought that WE2012e acted as its own Domain Controller, and yet it seems from the event log entries that it is waiting for another server to respond to AD / DC requests (but there isn't another server
on my home network). The other thing I remember from when I first tried out WS2012e, is that it took control of DHCP or DNS from the router, and I found that frustrating when waking up my laptop and it wouldn't connect to the internet until the server
had fully booted up and re-asserted its network settings. Is this another symptom of the same problem? I remember seeing a posting at the SBS Diva's site about how to update the server so that it gave connected PCs a backup option for connecting
to the internet when the server wasn't available, and was going to try to find that again to see if that helped.
By way of background - there isn't another server in my home network. This is an attempt to do a clean install onto the same hardware that I ran the initial trial of WS2012e, now that the trial has expired, so I'm not trying to migrate from an existing
server. I moved all the data on the trial server off onto an external disk, with the intention of importing it back once I had the Storage Pools set up the way I wanted on the new build, and since I didn't want to keep anything else about the server
trial. Am I correct in thinking that I don't need to go down the Migration route during installation, and can go through a Clean install in this circumstance?
I'm running on an Asus P8-H77-i motherboard, with an i5-3470s CPU and 16MB RAM, and I have WS2012e installed on 256Mb SSD formatted under GPT with uEFI boot - the latter being the main reason for the reinstall, instead of just giving the Evaluation
version the new key on the original MBR set up. I've also enabled Intel Rapid Storage and Rapid Start - and successfully set aside the hibernate partition on the SSD - but discovered that this is about forcing a hibernate after suspend, allowing
the system to power down until its needed again, and then resuming from hibernate on the SSD rather than cold boot each time. That seems to work, but doesn't improve the cold boot times at all, which was what I was hoping for - ideally the way my
laptop will boot from cold in a few seconds into Windows 8.
Yours faithfully,
Avon

Hi Justin,
I'm reading through the links you referred me to but it's taking a while. In the meantime I tried running BPA as you suggested. I'm sure when I ran it before, it didn't say much beyond 81 checks completed, and I couldn't find a way to get any
more detail.
Now it says

HP G7000 G7096EA Won't boot, no post/bios, blank grey screen
My HP G7000 G7096EA Won't boot, no post/bios, blank grey screen - It does appear to get into windows after return is pressed, albeit with blank grey screen.
I've reseated the RAM/harddisk, tried the power button reset method. Left it overnight with power battery/power.
I'm at a loss now with what to try. It does look to be a dead graphics chip, which is a shame and will probably put me off HP for life!Ok, I've stripped it down to diagnose. Due to the piss poor cooling on the graphics chip, it's fried itself and melted the solder underneath.
This was actually the second laptop I had off HP as the first broke within a very short time.
Needless to say, I'll be buying from Dell in the future! What a crock of **bleep** HP are.
Oh yeah! And HP wanted £16 + vat just to speak to some outsourced crappy call centre! -
Windows 8/8.1 slow boot (sudden onset)
Can anyone help with a slow boot problem on Windows 8/8.1, please? This concerns an Asus Zenbook. It's about 15 months old, and has always booted very quickly. Now, all of a sudden, it takes 5 minutes to get beyond the Windows logo screen.
I have tried all the standard things (clean boot, turn off Asus Fast Boot, etc), up to and including Resetting Windows. No good: on either Windows 8 or 8.1, it still takes 5 minutes. I have looked at the Windows System Log, and the delay occurs
right at the beginning of the Boot process. E.g., on the most recent boot I see as the first 3 entries (note, I'm in Europe, so dates are dd/mm/yyyy, and times are in 24-hour clock):
Information 10/03/2014 19:36:23 Kernel-General 12 None The operating system started at system time 2014-03-10T19:36:23.490074300Z.
Information 10/03/2014 19:36:23 Kernel-Boot 30 None The firmware reported boot metrics.
Information 10/03/2014 19:40:26 FilterManager 6 None File System Filter 'FileInfo' (6.3, 2013-08-22T11:38:45.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.
and you can see the 4-minute gap between the 2nd and 3rd entries. That's where the delay always comes, though sometimes the "reported boot metrics" doesn't show.
A little later in the procedure I do always get the following warning:
Warning 10/03/2014 19:40:31 Kernel-PnP 219 (212) The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device ACPI\ACPI0008\2&daba3ff&2.
However because that comes later I can't see how it can be causing the problem, and I suspect it's an independent issue.
The machine appears to run normally once booted. It is protected against viruses by Windows Defender. I have looked at many posts on this and other fora on slow boot, and tried everything suggested, but none of the solutions have worked.
I have also looked widely on the web for problems with the File System Filter but nothing relevant comes up. The machine is under warranty, and could be sent back, but that would be a serious pain so if there is a solution I can implement I would much
prefer to do so. Thank you for looking at this.
There are no stupid rats, only misguided studentsHi Seglea,
I have exact the same issue as you have! The only difference is the time period the splash screen / logo screen with the dots spinning in a circle hangs / delays / freezes: exactly 120 seconds. You can set your watch to that delay. During these 120 seconds
nothing happens, no HDD LED activity, just nothing. Having passed the 120 s, the HDD LED begins to flicker and the logon screen is displayed 15 s later.
For the first look at it, I believe that it is a timeout problem. Usually Windows services retry to start after just these 120 seconds (e.g. Software Protection is configured this way, but in my case it does not start although configured as auto delayed).
I believe that the clue is to find out which service causes this delay.
My event logs are exactly the same as yours (without boot metrics), I do also have your WudRfd warning!
When started, the machine operates in a fast and stable way, as if nothing harmful had ever happened.
I do also have an SSD installed as only (system) disk.
In my case the startup screen of the BIOS also stays visible for more than 10 seconds, longer as on any other computer I have had before. I also had problems during installation of Windows 8.1. After the first reboot during OS installation the BIOS POST
screen restarted in an endless loop. I could solve that problem by setting the dedicated internal Graphics memory to less than 1024M, although I own 32 GBytes of RAM.
Nothing helped so far, I permuted my BIOS settings, even Fast Boot or Ultra Fast Boot did not help.
I have installed the latest drivers, I even tried to update the firmware of my SSD, but Intels toolbox told me, that my 3 years old 520 series SSD (never had seen any firmware updates before) was up-to date! Thus Windows 8.1 should handle with it. I also
did a quick analyzation with the tools, but everything was ok.
I just run chkdsk /r /f, as Zigzag proposed, but I had nearly the same problems as you have had:
Chkdsk got stuck at 10 % for 10 minutes then the machine rebooted with the 2 minutes delay and event logs do not show any Checkdisk entry.
In the Applications log, I noticed a igfxCUIService1.0.0.0 sourced entry as the first entry after reboot approximately 2 minutes after the end of the delay: The description of the event-ID "0" from the source "igfxCUIService1.0.0.0" could not be found. Event:
started/resumed which sounds ok. But it says that the component that caused this event, is not installed. (my translation from the German log)
The device manager shows that everything is fine and working well.
Here's my System constellation:
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, Intel Ivy Processor i7-3770 with 32 GBytes RAM, Intel 520 Series SSD via SATA 6G, BD Writer from LG via SATA 3G
BIOS F20e with UEFI and Secure Boot enabled (Windows 8.1 did install the GPT partitions):
Fast Boot enabled/disabled doesn't bother, Intel Virtualization Technoloy Enabled, VT-d enabled, OS Type Windows 8, Network Stack disabled, Secure Boot Mode standard, AHCI, USB 3.0 xHCI, Internal Graphics Size now 32M, (didn't bother up
to 512M, 1024M BIOS POST-screen endless loop), Intel Rapid Start Technology Enabled (disabled same effect) => I installed Windows 8.1 with "Intel SATA Preinstall driver For AHCI RAID Mode" in the F6 mode, as Intel recommended, Marvell ATA Controller
for eSATA (disabling same effect), ErP same effects on dis/enabled.
Windows 8.1 Pro German. Same effect when with or without LAN connected
I am thinking of Reinstalling Windows 8 with CSM mode without UEFI, but I believe that would not have any effect. Maybe I'll try another system disk for a reinstallation (HDD or other older SSD).
It would be nice if this problem could be solved by the community or by Microsoft, since I am not the only one!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
Slow boot up on 2012 Mac mini with DIY fusion drive
Hello everyone, I bought a Mac mini (2012) 2 months ago with a stock 500GB HDD.
I added another SSD to make a DIY fusion drive, and everything is working fine, except that I'm experiencing a very slow boot up.
I have confirmed both by information from the OS and some tests with command line tools, that the fusion drive itself is a success and absolutely working fine.
The slow boot up happens on cold boot only (a reboot does not have such problem).
Symptom: the Mac mini is stuck on the gray blank screen for about 40 seconds, and then finally shows up the apple logo.
Everything after this is pretty fast and fine.
I have tried the following methods and none of them seems to help:
1. Go Preferences -> Startup Disk, select the Machintosh HD. (Suggested by Apple in the Fusion Drive FAQ)
2. Verify the whole disk along with the partition with Disk Utility.
3. Reset NVRAM by holding Command+Option+P+R during boot up.
4. Reset SCM/PMU.
Does anyone have an idea on the cause of my problem?
Best regards and thank you.If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
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. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of 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, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
