Incredibly slow startup, bizarre noises, and overall weirdness...

I hate to start off a support question like this, and believe me, I feel terrible, but... I just dropped my iBook for the umpteenth time, but on a harder surface than usual. It hasn't had a problem every other time I've dropped it (I'm a bit of a klutz...), but now...
It was pretty much fine a few minutes afterward, but then began to slow down while occasionally making bizarre beeping sounds (which I believe are coming from the hard drive). Annoyed with the slowdown, and unable to get to the shut down options, I shut off the computer and turned it on again. It started up and went to the screen with the Apple logo and began loading... for an eternity. I shut it off again and turned it back on to the same result. So I let it sit and decided to see if it would start up.
It eventually got to the next screen, "Starting Mac OS X," and was much slower than usual. Then my desktop loaded, and the bar at the top of the screen, but the mouse stayed as the spinning rainbow pinwheel. Some desktop icons loaded, and it almost seemed as if it would load completely...
And then the screen went blue and it started loading all over again.
So far, I'm on the second fade-to-blue and the third attempt to start up, and all the while it's making intermittent beeping sounds. I don't want to have to restore the hard drive, as I've got a lot of important info on it... but I have no idea what to do with it and am afraid it can't be fixed without a hard drive replacement... that I don't have the money for...
Please help. D:

More than likely the slow boot is caused by the system trying to repair the hard drive.
You could try reinstalling the OS. If only the files and file structure are damaged, that should solve the problem. If the hard drive has suffered a hardware failure the reinstall won't solve it.

My iMac 27 became incredibly slow... And often the spinning wheel makes me wait ages even for simple actions (like switching desktops or just clicking the Apple logo)... What can I do ?

After a crash of one of my partitions, I reinstalled my system on another (Lion).
I've made all the updates but now everything is incredibly slow. It takes ages to have an answer (like "About this Mac" or to launch any software or utility.
I have check th hard disk and apparently, the partition is correct.
What can I do to find where is the problem ?

Tanks for the advice
Infortune télé, i cannot use thé recouvert partition bécasse I don't havé any... i havé to say I havé bruit à spécial environnement : at first I was usine Snow Leopard... And I built a Boot Camp partition... When I bought my Lion, I estimated it could be dangerous to jump straightforward to Liom, so I created a third partition for Lion and I installed it... But this was not compatible with the recovery partition !
So, when my first Lion partition crashed (I got bad block on the volume) I decided to suppress the boot camp volume qns to reinstall Lion. Fortunately, Snow was still running.
I.ve done all the other things you've adviced and things are going better... Everything works except mail : I guess I have to suppress all the mail account, repair the disk (and permission) and reconnect the mail accounts !

Extremely Slow Startup, Blue Screen, and Poor Performance

Hello,
A couple of weeks ago my MBP 15" (late 2009 model) started performing really poorly. The colour wheel would spin for about 2 minutes if a launched any applications and everything was really slow. It also took about 10 minutes on the grey apple screen to startup and then another 10 or so on the blue screen before slowly revealiing my desktop.
I took it into the genius bar and the said it might be a corrupt file on the HD. Backed up my HD, zeroed the drive and reinstalled OS. Still the same problems. Ran disk utility several times and got various errors pertaining to HD or RAM.
Took it back into the Genius bar and they ran a long diagnostic on it, came back to me and said it is deifinatly the RAM. I replaced the ram, (2x2GB ddr3-1066 sodimm) and cleared PRam. Still the same startup and performance issues.
Any ideas would be appreciated as this is stressing me out big time as I dont know what else it could be?

Hmm... before this I think I would have restarted the computer in Safe Boot mode which deletes the dynamic-loader shared cache.
Not sure if it is relevant at this point
Safe Boot
# it forces a directory check of the startup volume.
# It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
# In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
# It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.

Did you run the Apple Hardware Test. What is the S.M.A.R.T. status, could be that HD is failing?

T400 incredibly slow startup Windows 7

Hello,
i ran into a problem that I am unable to solve myself as its cause is a mystery to me:
I had OEM Vista Ultimate installed on my T400, which worked fine, but ever since I installed Windows 7 today, the windows startup takes unusally long time, get stuck the "starting Windows" screen for about 10 minutes every time. Once it starts it runs OK without any hiccups or lags whatsoever.
I have no clue where the root of this problem can be, maybe this will give you an idea.
I had two T400 lying around, one had faulty headphone jack (stuck somehow, so the computer assumed the headphones are always connected, therefore I couldn't get any sound from the speakers. As the headphone jack is soldered to the motherboard, I needed to replace the whole mobo) and the other one had bad LCD. So I decided to use the functional components to build one fully functional T400 and sell the other one for parts.
So what I did was:
-swapped LCDs (good LCD+good mobo, bad LCD+bad mobo)
-swapped CPUs (because the one with faulty jack had 2,53Ghz - everything except the sound was alright! - whereas the other one had only 2,4Ghz)
-swapped HDDs (as the one with faulty jack was the computer I usually used, it had W7 installed, whereas the other had Vista)
I put them back together, and while the one with Vista booted up quicky as usual (although before, its mobo was used with a faster CPU and Windows 7), the one now with W7 took ages to start up, which has never happened before. I thought it might be because of the CPU (neither reseting BIOS, nor disconnecting CMOS battery helped), so I swapped the CPUs once again (-> back to their original mobos). The faulty machine with Vista still had no problem starting up, but it didn't help the machine running W7.
Here comes the mystery:
I swapped the HDDs too, so the only change to their orginal configuration was the display (swapped faulty 1280x800 TFT for good 1440x900 LED) and after that both of them were able to start up normally.
But once I erased the HDD with Vista on it, which was running fine in the machine where the W7 HDD took ages to start, and reloaded Windows 7 onto that HDD, the problems returned!!!
Now I have two T400s with Windows 7, but one of takes ages to start up.
For better image:
T400 No1, original config:
T400 No2, original config:

MacBook Pro 2010 Very Slow Startup for computer and Programs

My MacBook Pro is very slow start up and sometimes fails to. also when using Safari computer will freeze. when opening and closing programs it can take up to 15 min. this all started in the last two weeks. I have also had to update Yosemiti a lot in the last couple weeks. Is there issues with the updates or is there something more going on?

Post an etrecheck report back here, which may give us some clues.

JFileChooser incredibly slow both to initialize and to change directories

I have searched the forums for this and haven't found anything useful. I have the following code running in jre1.6.0_07:
JFileChooser objFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
objFileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(true);
objFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new CookbookFileFilter());
objFileChooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
if(objFileChooser.showOpenDialog(this) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
     getModel().load(objFileChooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());the first line takes upwards of 20-30 seconds or more to get past when debugging - I don't know how long it takes when running without the debugger however the application does sit for a while after pressing the hotkey to activate the actionlistener. That's a problem, but if that was the only thing, I would do as another post suggested and initialize the jFileChooser from a separate thread during the initialization of the window or application...however, I also run into an issue whenever I change directories where it takes a subset of the initialization time(maybe 10-15 seconds instead of 20-30) to change the directory. This happens in both System and Cross-Platform Look and Feel-s.
I've looked into the issue with zip files and there are no (0) zip files(or archives of any kind) in the initial directory(My Documents folder). There is a small delay going to My Computer through Windows normally but it may be 1-2 seconds at most, and only sometimes. Notepad opens the Load / Save Dialogs within milliseconds and while I do understand Java is not Notepad, I'm willing to accept a few seconds (like maybe 5 or so), but not 20-30. I also looked into potentially using JDK 7 however I can't seem to get Eclipse to work with it and it consistently uses the JDK 6.
If a solution can not be found to this, then is there a way to hook into the dialog/control in order to change the mouse cursor to the 'wait' cursor and change it back when the directory is ready? I'd like to provide some communication to the user. Thanks!

camickr,
I did include a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable Example Program (SSCCE)" in my initial posting; and I also included Code Formatting as everyone can see. I've been a programmer for over 10 years, closer to 15 and have almost 8 years experience with Java so I'm not about to ask a question without investigating the solution on my own first(to avoid wasting people's time. Admittedly all I posted was the snippet but that entire snippet could be put within Main like this below and it would be exactly the same without the waste of space. The machine I have running / developing this on is: Athlon 64 3000, 1 GB RAM, about 13 or 14 total hard drive partitions and removable media drives, running under Windows XP SP2. I can even eliminate the Choosable Filter in the example as I do below and the JFileChooser takes (31 seconds on average over 5 iterations, I timed it after I originally posted this) to fully display the dialog and all files and deliver control back to the user. That is unacceptable and one can not deny that it's the class itself when FileDialog runs significantly faster and programs outside of Java executing the standard XP File Dialog run even faster still. If this code is not good enough, I don't know how much shorter or self contained I can make this code example without removing the configuration lines between the initialization and that would defeat my cause as I need the Look and feel customization and prefer not writing my own File Chooser Dialog. Here's the code w/ the main function and all.
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
public class Example
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFileChooser objFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
          objFileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(true);
          objFileChooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
          if(objFileChooser.showOpenDialog(null) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
               System.out.println("Approved");
}Thanks,
Seth

Daily seize-up and overall weird behavior

At least once per day my Macbook Pro (2009) beachballs where some apps are still responsive and others are not. Then after a minute or two the entire machine seizes up. This happens to every single Mac user I work around (probably 20-30 of us). One common denominator is that we all run the Aventail VPN client. It seems to occur when we are on flakey wireless connections we can be sure to see the machine seize up at some point. Does anyone have any suggestions on diagnosing this more accurately and ultimately finding a fix for something like this?
On occassion I also won't see the machine seize up, it will "gray screen" with the message that I need to reboot my machine. Here is what the machine gave me upon reboot today. I've been simply living with this (as have others around me) for about 6-12 months. I'm tired if ignoring it and want to find a cure. Unfortunately I don't know how to read this, could someone give me some advice/suggestions on the paste below and a figuring out a greater plan to resolve?

JDev 10.1.2 and Spring 1.2.3: Incredibly slow OC4J startup

I have JDev 10.1.2 which runs many non-Spring apps in the embedded OC4J without incident.
But after an app that uses Spring Framework 1.2.2 or 1.2.3 is added to a Workspace, attempting to run any application, spring-using or not, in that workspace results in an incredibly long startup time for OC4J, typically 160-220 seconds during which JDeveloper becomes unresponsive and the CPU use rises to 100%.
After JDeveloper becomes responsive again, here are the displayed contents of the OC4J server window:
[Starting OC4J using the following ports: HTTP=65001, RMI=65002, JMS=65003.]

05/09/01 12:25:38 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.2.0.0) initialized
This problem occurs using JDev 10.1.2 on several workstations. One workstation is FC4, the others are WinXP. We are using j2sdk1.4.2_07 to compile/run on FC4 and the bundled 1.4.2_04 on Windows.
Once the OC4J is started, JDeveloper and applications appear to work fine with no noticable differences in speed. Also, once deployed to an Oracle App Server 10g (w/OC4J 10.1.2), there is no noticable difference in startup time for applications on that server.
Again, I would emphasize that the problem affects all applications in the workspace, not just the one that uses Spring. And if I remove the Spring application from the workspace, OC4J starts quickly again for the other applications. Also, running applications in a one workspace is not impacted by a Spring app in a different workspace.
Any ideas?

Use Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 that has both EJB 3.0 and Portlet development support.
JDev 10.1.2 doesn't support JDK 5.0 out of the box so you'll probably have problems with the annotations of EJB 3.0.

Macbook Pro is incredibly slow and the ball cursor is spinning 90% of the time. I've tried everything. Please help.

I've tried cleaning up my desktop as I read somewhere that an overload of icons can slow down my computer.
I've checked my disk space and there's over 540GB left.
I've tried pressing the left Shift, Option, Control and Power buttons before turning it on, with my computer plugged into the wall.
I've tried pressing the left Shift, Option and Control buttons while my computer was booting up.
I've tried using CleanMyMac 2.
I've checked and removed any startup items.
It takes about 4-5mins for the computer to get to the login screen after I turn it up. It takes me a very long time to write in Word, in online Forums such as this one, in Notes as well. The Finder takes an incredibly long time to open and load up pages. Forget about watching videos online. Even opening pictures in Preview takes a while.
I really don't know what else I can do.

I want to upgrade my 2007 Mac desktop to 10.5 Leopard. I am currently running on 10.4.11. When I put the leopard disk into the drive all it does is make a weird noise and then spits the disk right back out. It doesn't do this with any other discs, only this software. Is it still possible to update this computer?

Yes. Try Amazon.
Before you do upgrade to Snow Leopard, make sure your Mac meets the requirements.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Make sure the disc you tried using doesn't have any fingerprints or smudges on it. The optical drive can't read the disk otherwise.
If your Mac won't read the disc, might be a good idea to rule out any problems with the startup disk BEFORE trying to upgrade the system.

Making weird noise and won't work.

Okay so I've had my iPod video for a couple weeks now and it has been working fine until the other day I ran out the battery completely. The next morning I plugged it into my computer and it turned on and said, "Very Low Battery, Please Wait" It had a loading sign and a battery on it. So I waited for like 20 seconds and then I noticed it was making this really weird beeping noise and it changed to this screen with a sad ipod icon and it said "www.apple.com/support" so I went there and looked everywhere for help and tried everything and nothing worked. After the sad iPod icon thing it went back to the apple startup and it just kept on cycling through the whole process again. It won't charge and my computer won't recognize it. I tried putting it on an iHome and putting it into another USB port and all kinds of things and it still wouldn't work. HELPP!!!! It's driving me crazy!!!

OK, I have the 30G w/video and it does that too. I've had it a year with no problems. My husband went on the treadmill with it a couple days ago and after a few songs it froze. I did the whole regime of toggling and pressing menu/select button, I put in on my Bose speaker/charger and it switched to very low battery warning. When I took it off to move to computer it said to connect to computer and use restore (in a few languages). I connected and it recognized it and I did restore and after a few minutes screen came up saying it could NOT restore. Then ipod was unrecognized and then ipod screen gave me the very sad little ipod picture with the support web site. At that point it began making the clicking nose - morris code does describe it but I was invisioning a little nano sprite in there with a chisel!!So, same as you, I go there and it's like a maze trying to find help!! Of course my warranty was up exactly 6 weeks ago!! I tried linking through all the stuff like finding a service provider in my area, contact the "knowledge base" etc., and I can't get anyone! Now what are we gonna do?

Making weird noise and won't go into disc mode and all kinds of icons

after having many problems, i managed to get my ipod into disc mode and format it. However, i'm still having similar problems. When i turn it on, it goes on normally but when i connect it to my computer it freezes it. When i try to restart the ipod while connected to the computer, i get the battery is discharged icon, or sometimes the sick icon first and then the discharged icon, and i'm not able to put it into disc mode. After i get the icons, the only way i can get it to start again is to toggle the hold switch many times (took me awhile to figure this out..). Also, the ipod makes a weird repeated disc noise sometimes when its connected or if i'm starting it. If i try to restart the ipod without it being connected to the computer, i get the sick icon until i toggle the hold switch. can anybody help? thanks!
actually, i've managed to get it into disc mode, but it just makes the repeated weird noise nonstop and it doesn't let me open any programs on my computer so i can't format it.

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2364921&#2364921
Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning ! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”
What should I do with my iPod? Send it or keep it?

10.6.1 Slow Startup and Shutdown

Did anyone notice the difference between the 10.6.1 startup and shutdown times and the 10.6 times ?
I had to do a clean install of 10.6 and ignore the 10.6.1 update to get back speed in startup and shutdown.
Is there anyway to solve this.
Thanks.

I had the same problems, and I figured out the cause. It seems that somehow the ownership of my root directory (/) wasn't assigned to the root account anymore, but to myself instead. This made the kernel prelinking fail since it requires that root is the owner. This is how you solve this after launching the Terminal app:
{quote:title=terminal commands}sudo chown root:admin /
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches{quote}
You'll have to enter your password after the first command.
Hope this helps someone, since it was really frustrating to have these slower startup/shutdown times for me.

Slow startup and password issue.

Hi all...
Happy new year...!
As a little christmas present for myself I purchased a Crucial M4 256GB SSD for my MacPro 4,1 (2.26GHz, 22GB RAM, 10.8.2). I'm a semi-pro photographer and wanted a bit of a speed up for my processing etc etc. So yesterday I cloned my existing system drive to the SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner. I then installed the SSD in the spare superdrive bay (my other 4 bays are used).
Just as a background my previous startup/shutdown times on this machine where quite slow averaging around 90s for startup and around 45s for shutdown. I had assumed that this was normal and was just a slow syetm HD issue. When I changed the startup disk to the new SSD and booted up the startup time did decrease but not significantly... its now exactly 59s whilst the shutdown times go down to around 30s. In use the speed of the OS is massively improved with applications and local file copying blazingly fast. I've a few friends who upgraded MacBook Pro's and others macs with SSD's and their startups are around 10-15 seconds....!!! I'm not overly bothered by the slow startups/shutdowns but I am curious as to what might be causing these delays. In testing today I deleted everything unecessary from my user account startup items, disabled various apps and checked the /library/startupitems for anything that shoudnt be there. After a couple of hours trying I cant find anything that is effecting the startups and am lost. I'll likely just accept it and move on as in use the SSD is impressive but if anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated!
A second thing that has happened is that whenever I try to delete/modify/move an app I am now asked to type in my user password. I have tried repairing permissions, checking the permissions of my .Trash folder etc etc but as of yet nothing has worked. Any ideas...??
Many thanks and Happy New Year yet again.
Richie

The traditional way an Operating System deals with "deleted" files is to remove ONLY the Directory information and simply add the data blocks to the free pool. Those "deleted" data blocks are not cleared.
This works in rotating drives because:
1. The logical block size is the same or larger than the physical drive block size.
2. Rotating magnetic media are block-for-block re-writable.
In SSDs physical blocks are much larger "superblocks", and re-writing a portion of a superblock is a slow and difficult read-modify-write operation. In addition, since the OS did not notify the drive what data are no longer needed, deleted data continue to be carefully maintained and re-written by the drive. Soon every write operation becomes a read-modify-write, and performance deteriorates.
In my opinion, this nearly-full condition is likley to cause drive failure. Something more than wishful thinking is required.
Apple enables TRIM on the drives they install directly. They do not do so for third-party drives, but that is likely because those drives have not been tested by Apple.
I have been using a very small SSD as a boot drive for a while, and periodically consolidate free space followed immediately by erasing free space with a third-party utility. I believe this has kept me out of trouble. My son has been using SSD in his laptop and doing nothing for maintenece, and he has killed two drives in a year.
Trim Enabler utility from groths seems to be working, and makes things simple. Your mileage may vary.
if I notice significant performance slips
You added a much lower latency drive and startup times did not improve significantly. Much of the time required for startup is needed for memory testing. The rest is largely attributable to disk Read/Write times. What more evidence do you need?

MacBook Pro, Mid 2012 slow to load applications and startup

Problem description:
I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid 2012 computer. Over the past months it has become increasingly slower during load up, and application loads.
Running OS X Yosemite
Processor: 2.9 GHz, Intel Core i7
Memory 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
I installed an application Memory Clean from the App Store and I need to run it every so often to keep the load down. It shows of the 8GB available, App Memory eating up 3.32 GB, File Cache 2.25 GB, Wired 1.16 GB, Compressed 122.03 MB for used 6.80 GB.
I am considering upping the memory from 8 GB to 16 GB, but think it is something else dragging it down. I am not a total computer newbie, but am no where near a techomage so any advice given if it could be in simple to follow instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any advice given, have a great day.

How to manage intermittent lag in OS X Yosemite | MacIssues
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Incredibly slow startup, bizarre noises, and overall weirdness...
