Depends what you are running and what has to be loaded at startup. 50 seconds is not very long. Wish I could start mine in under one minute with the programs I run.

Snow leopard suddenly takes 5 minutes to boot up on macbook pro?

I have snow leopard on my new macbook pro and everything was fine until all of a sudden it took 5 minutes to log in and I couldn't connect to the internet which I know was working. It would also make me log in every time it booted up when I have it saved as automatic login. I then repaired disk permissions and internet access works yet it still takes 5 minutes to boot up. I was wondering if anyone could help me. Thanks.

Gray screen on startup - Takes 6 minutes to boot up

When I power up my Macbook I get a gray screen and it takes 6 minutes to boot up.

With your configuration. ML will run no sweat.
The problem is that ML is available only as a download via Mac App store
And Mac App Store application is available only in Snow Leo
You might:
Ge t Snow Leo install disc for $29 from Amazon
Then buy ML from the APp Store
or
Get a USB isntall key for Lion (expensive),
then upgrade to ML
the former would be preferred.
UPgrade to ML from Snow Leo will cost ya $19

My mac mini takes 5 minutes to boot up

I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now, have always run Mountain Lion on it, but in the last month it takes 5 minutes to boot up when I turn it on (turning on to the log in page). Everything else works fine. I have done Disk Utilities, and the permissions are all fine, I verified the disc and that is all fine. I have two other drives plugged into it, one 500GB USB for Time Machine and one 250GB firewire for data storage and my iTunes items. The Mac Mini is a 2.3GHz processor with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
Any ideas please? 5 minutes is very slow for a computer to boot in 2013. Thanks.

Open Console in Utilities, go to system.log, enter boot or BOOT_ in the filter field. Please post just the bootup sequence, no other messages, of those ~five minutes, from BOOT_TIME, or however it's worded until "setting hostname to "yourusername.local." If the time stamps, which we must see are not included, then post back without posting the log, since it will be useless.

HP600-1160fr takes 5 minutes to boot

Hi
I’ve just purchased a touchsmart 600-1160fr. First days without problems, till a first system crash: only thing to do was to operate a manual switch-off (press power on button for few seconds). At restart, the windows page announcing an incorrect shut-down procedure, went up inviting me to run the recovery boot. After that, the complete disk check run and the final report was that all the system files had been correctly recovered.
From the next boot on, the system starts, windows logo appears, than the screen goes black and I have to wait about 5 minutes before getting the login page. Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Here is a link to instructions on how to run the Hardware Diagnostic.
Other than that, there are a number of things you can do to improve performance. I would start with "Deleting temporary files and directories" and "Defragment the hard disk drive"

I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system. (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm). When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7. Now windows is intalled. What do I do with the CD that the system created for me? Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion. I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

IMac takes 4 minutes to boot up, bluetooth not available

Hello, this is my first post on Apple Discussions!
The day before yesterday we had quite a vicious storm here and lost power for about a minute. My Mac was switched on when the power cut out, but I was downstairs, having some lunch. Unfortunately, I have no surge protection on my power bar / extension cord thing (I know...). I immediately unplugged it, only turning it back on after the storm had calmed down.
Thinking nothing of it, I powered on my Mac and left it unattended for about 10 minutes (so I don't know how long it took to boot up!). When I came back, I was greeted by the login screen and proceeded as usual. However, the next time I powered on my computer, I could not get past the white screen after the chime (no Apple logo). Now, this has happened to me before, so I waited a couple of minutes. Nothing. I decided to power it down (holding down the power button) and try rebooting it, this time holding down the option key (to bring up the partitions), as this has helped me in the past. White screen for a couple of minutes. Impatient and annoyed, I powered it down again. Rebooted holding down the shift key, for Safe Mode. Nothing again. This time I left it on the white screen while I looked for an old USB keyboard, thinking my wireless keyboard might not have been pairing. Little did I know I would have to use this sh***y keyboard from this point forward.
So, I got my keyboard (remember I had left my Mac on the white screen) and when I returned I was pleasantly surprised to see the login screen. I noticed, however, that I could not use my wireless keyboard (I have a wired Razer mouse). So I plugged in the old PC keyboard I found, and logged in. Which is when I noticed the Bluetooth icon was strange; it was greyed out and had a jagged line through it, and when I clicked on it, said "Bluetooth: Not Available".
I restarted my Mac, just to see if the issues would be fixed. Nope. It took about four minutes to start up, and no Bluetooth. I checked the System Preferences and it says there is "No Bluetooth Hardware Found". "No information found" in System Information either.
The problem is that during the white screen on bootup (I always hear the chime btw), I have no control. I cannot enter Safe Mode, see the partitions, reset the NVRAM or PRAM. I just have to wait until I see the Apple logo after about four minutes. After login, everything (bar Bluetooth) seems fine. I have verified disk, and it says it's fine. Verified and repaired permissions as well. I looked and noticed that I have no com.apple.bluetooth.plist file in my library.
I don't know what to do from here! My extended Apple Care has expired Should I install Mavericks? Could that fix my problems? Or should I clean install ML, and then install Mavericks? But if the storm did do some damage, the issue is probably hardware... Please help me.
Thanks, and sorry for the length
PS. I have been having a little trouble with my finder since a while now (months). Sometimes, when I open a folder the CPU will shoot up to 100% and the Mac would freeze for a couple of seconds. Then it would be normal again. I have used up about 1.5 TB (including a Bootcamp partition) from my 2TB HDD. I doubt this is related, but I though I'd throw it in anyway. Again, I apologise for the length.

Installing a new OS X over a problematic one will get you a new problematic OS X.
I suggest you run repair disk first. Then I would reset the SMC.
I "think" that some of your problems stem from the power problem you described. No surge protector is akin to (fill in the negative outcome blank). The lecture ends here.
IMHO, you have some hardware problem(s). I suggest you take the computer to an Apple store for diagnosis. Be sure to bring your documentation of the things above along.

Mavericks boot takes 5 minutes after Boot Camp

The boot of my MacBook Air is taking too much time, about five minutes according to my tests.
Yesterday I reinstalled OS X and then installed Windows 8.1 on a Boot Camp partition. After choosing the boot disk from OS X settings, the boot of my OS X partition takes some minutes, instead of the previous 11-12 seconds. The boot stops on Mac logo and loading indicator for 5 minutes.
Instead, Windows is loading very fast.
Any solution?

☞ 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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

T500 takes 15 minutes to boot after bios update

symptoms:
it takes around 10 or so minutes to get to the thinkpad press f1 to set up screen, after that it gives me a screen that says ME is initializing, this is after a bios update and subsequent roll back of the bios. both bios updates now give me the same result. sleep functions also seems to not work, once im into windows my t500 operates as usual.
what I've done:
in addition to rolling back the drivers Ive disconnected /reconnected the cmos battery and turned off AMT. ive also made sure that all of my drivers are up to date.
machine is a 2081-cto running on win7
anyone have any idea what i can do? i still have a long warranty but would like to solve it myself so i dont have any down time.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi guys and welcome to the forum, dinny.
You might try fiddling with the BIOS setting for the security (TPM) chip:
F1 at boot to get to BIOS setup, then Security, then Security Chip.
I have mine set to "Disabled" but have seen other reports that setting it to "Enabled" can cure bootup delays.
Worth a try, please let us know if it helps you.
Good luck,
Frank

Why does it take 5 minutes to boot up?

Why does y Macbook air takes more than 5 minutes to boot up?

There are a couple of things you can do.
#1: perform a safe boot. shut down your computer and after you hit the power button, hold down the shift key until you get to the login screen.
#2 got to system preferences > startup disk (under system) > then select Macintosh HD then hit restart.
#3 go the the apple logo in the top left-hand corner and select shut down. uncheck the box that says to reopen windows when powered back up.
Hopefully this helps, but if it doesn't, you should take it to apple because that is not normal!

My iMac takes 20 minutes to boot and is very slow. I get messages that system disk is low but it shows 600 gb of 1000. Thanks.

As above. Takes forever to boot, Painfully slow, low HD message despite showing over 600 GB available. Thanks.

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, 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 time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time when you had the problem – the text, please, not a screenshot. For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time. If the problem is a crash or a shutdown hang, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down.
Edit out excessive repeats and personal information, if any.
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 the archived log, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
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. For privacy’s sake, 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 do not post shutdownStall or hang logs – they're very long and not helpful.

My iMac takes 10 minute to boot!

I've had some problems with my iMac recently, culminating in it not booting at all. I then carried out a clash and burn re-install and then restored my time machine back up.
Everything seemed fine for a few days but now it's taking over 10 minutes to boot!
I've tried virtually everything I can think of to fix it (having trawled these forums) including all your usual, PRAM, permissions etc etc.
When booting with CMD-V the system seems to get stuck for about 5-7 minutes on this entry:
AppleYukon2: RxRingSize <=1024, TxRingSize 256 etc etc.
I don't know what this is.
The other issue is that on restoring Time machine, Little Snitch went a bit crazy and blocked all my network connections and email. Could that possibly be causing any problems?
Any help much appreciated!

Ken, it sounds like you iMac could be looking for another boot drive. You can go to System Preferences, Startup Disk and then choose your internal drive and click re-start. Give that a try and let us know if it started up any faster.
If you have any other devices such as a TM drive, iPod or another external HD that could cause the system to be temporarily confused as to what your start up volume is. Once you do the above step that should take care of the issue.
Regards,
Roger

Computer takes 20 minutes to boot.

My PC takes about 20 minutes to boot, and if it even does boot. It gets stuck at the BIOS start up with the MSI 8Xtreme Series Intel on the black screen, and just sits there.. Is there a way to move some jumpers and reset the BIOS to factory defaults, if that is even the problem. Please if anyone has ANY idea about how to take care of this, im willing to do anything, Im sitting here in college, neededing to write this paper, and my Laptop has a small screen compaired to my desktop. Thanks
-Joe
PS. The PC dosnt even get past that part it seems... Please help!!

Remove all the hardware (PCI cards, USB devices, HDDs, CDROMs etc..) and only keep the bare minimum yuo need (memory, CPU, VGA card).
Don't even connect a mouse and KB to it.
Does it work normally (give you a KB error message probably) ?
Try another KB if it seems ok (and make sure you plug it in the right place), don't overlook any detail in such cases.
