Lion slow to boot

Running a macbook pro 2012 - Version 10.7.4
Startup time seems to be getting much slower than before.. It also hangs on the grey startup screen sometimes.
Just verified and repaired disk, doesn't seem to get better.
Much help would be appreciated, thanks!

How much free space on the startup disk?
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About this Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Remove any items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac to test.

According to your profile, your Mac has v10.7 installed. You mentioned that you repaired the disk. Did you do this using OS X Recovery ??
It's the only way to repair the startup disk on a Mac running v10.7.

Freshly reinstalled Mountain Lion, slow-issimo boot.

All,
I have, after much struggle, decided to take the plunge and reinstall ML from scratch on a freshly reinitialized internal hard drive. I'm ready for battle! ;-)
The MacMini boots extremely slow, both in normal boot and in safe boot, after a clean install. I have disconnected all peripherals except:
- usb keyboard
- wireless trackpad
- two optical drives
I have saved two logs with the console log from the normal boot and the safe boot. I will post them if requested to.
The Mac has a clean install, just one user, no login items, no additional software installed, no sharing, no printers, no external USB storage drives.
Thanks for any help,
Joe

Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Any tips? Thanks!

Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. It's about a year and a half old. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) -- and I'm far from being an expert at any of this stuff, have seen a few different answers and not sure what to do. Help! Grateful.

Okay, I am having a try at this. My machine wouldn't boot this morning again (like I said, it's erratic, so I then did a "safe boot" and restarted. This is what I think (I hope...) you want. Here's the first part, tho you'll see I am struggling with Part 2.

Is Lion slow booting up and shutting down?

After I installed Lion, my macbook pro is slow to boot up and shut down. How can you turn off "re-open windows when logging back on"?

The beeps on startup are often indicative of RAM problems. The opening chime is the only normal noise on startup. Shutdown should be essentially silent. To the Apple store, PRONTO!
Ciao.

Osx lion upgrade - computer boot VERY slow

after upgrade to OSX Lion, my computers boot very slowly. they also have a hard time waking from "sleep", sometimes running fans then going back to sleep again. disk verified, permissions repaired before and after install. any ideas? it's happening on more then one machine so it appears to be related to the software.

HT6114 MAC Air slow to boot after 10.9.2 update.

I have a 2011 MAC Air. After the 10.9.2 upgrade my laptop takes about 20 minutes to boot from power off. Once started it works fine, it is just extremely slow to boot. Prior to the update I could boot in about 10 seconds. Any thoughts how to resolve this issue?

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.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks 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.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

IMac suddenly slow after boot-up

Hello!
I've had my iMac for about two years now (mid 2011 model), never formatted it, re-installed or anything.
Since about a month, all of a sudden, I've had issues with it, being pretty slow to boot. At first it takes about 30-40 seconds for it to actually boot, which isn't horrible but yet slower than it has been. Nothing strange of course. But then when it is actually booted up, everything runs real slow. Loading up Safari can take about 2-4 minutes depending on my mood (when I'm easily annoyed it usually takes longer time). Getting the mail to sync takes ages. And well, launching just about anything takes a fair amount of time longer than it has before. This eases away with the first 10-15 minutes of usage and goes back to normal by then.
Looking through the processes and stuff I'm usually running on about 90-98% unallocated processing power. About 9 GB free ram (out of 12 totally).
I'm running Mac on my job as well, where we use Mac Pros which are about 5 years old, we've never re-installed them or anything, they boot pretty slow, but they doesn't have this slow "directly after boot-up"-feeling as my iMac does.
To a friend using Windows, I'd suggest this as a non-hardware issue. Since Windows usually does that. But I've never had such sever problems on any mac.
I'm using Lion (10.7.5) and are planning to get Maverick when it's released, but I sort of want to resolve this first. If it doesn't mean I should actually re-install and start from scratch, which means I could wait for Mavericks before bothering.
Suggestions?

Checked to see how much space is available ??
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow your Mac down.
Checked the startup disk lately? You should do this before upgrading the system regardless.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
FYI: OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection.
Backup all your important files before repairing or restoring OS X just in case.

I have a Presario SR5450F. Recently, it is very slow to boot up. It hangs up on the Compaq screen

I have a Presario SR5450F. Recently, it is very slow to boot up. It hangs up on the Compaq screen (Setup, Boot Menu, System Recovery, Diagnostics). It hangs up on that screen for at least 10 minutes, which is unacceptable. It just started doing this. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

You're welcome goldcanyon1
Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing your problem and what device was causing it for you. Sometimes having too many USB devices can cause problems. Your camera might work if only the mouse and keyboard are connected. It is worth a try if you need to get photos from it. I have seen even on my custom built PC occasional "odd" issues that can arise from having a variety of different USB devices connected.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.

IMac - slow to boot, bluetooth not found.

System:
iMac 24" (Early 2009) 2.66GHz
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory (upgraded from original 4GB with 3rd party memory about 4 years ago)
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB Disk (upgraded from original 640GB about 2 years ago)
NVIDIA GeForge 9400
OS X: 10.10.1
The issue began about 3 months ago when my mother-in-law had the machine. According to her, the machine became very slow to boot (taking from 20min to over 1 hour) and her wireless mouse was not working. Fortunately she was already using a wired keyboard and had a spare wired mouse, so she was able to use the machine. Other than the slow boot and mouse issue, the system was stable. We decided to replace her machine in any case, primarily because it's not easily serviceable - especially where she lives (rural Alabama). I took the machine back (it had been mine originally). At that point it was running 10.8.5.
I observed the following:
1) The system was, indeed, very slow to boot as she described.
2) None of the bluetooth devices were working.
3) The bluetooth device shows as "No information found" in the System Information report
4) Bluetooth preferences were not visible in system preferences.
5) Coincident with her first report or problems, the following messages began appearing in the system logs:
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.195    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 3 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (1)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.195    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 1 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (1)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.206    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 2 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002ed while doing getting port status (4)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.206    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 2 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (2)
Though she originally had external peripherals attached, all have been removed - the only things plugged into any USB or Firewire port are the keyboard and mouse.
So, that's how the machine was when I got it back... I have tried the following:
1) First I tried AHT - booting from the original disks provided with the system (AHT version 3A170). AHT hung while probing system hardware; it just stalled for several hours (I think I let it try overnight, only to return to see no progress). I've tried AHT a couple of times through this ordeal and can never get to the point where I can even initiate the test.
2) I tried removing the bluetooth preferences file.
3) I tried resetting NVRAM
4) I tried resetting SMC
5) I've booted in verbose mode, but nothing really stood out as clearly (or even vaguely) indicating a problem.
People did suggest booting in "safe" mode - thought it was never clear what I was supposed to do after that. In any case, an attempt to boot in safe mode caused the machine to just reboot itself. I even set safe mode in the boot-args and sat back and watched as the machine consistently rebooted itself each time... about 7 or 8 times before I got sick of hearing the boot chime. I did have verbose mode turned on in boot-args as well, an each time it rebooted at the same point, while initializing drivers. Interestingly, booting in "normal" mode has never been an issue - save for the exceptional amount of time it takes.
Since the data on the disk was of no use to me, I created a 10.10.1 install package on a USB stick and installed fresh - verifying and reformatting the hard drive before performing the install. The installation was uneventful (i.e. worked just like it should).
So, now I am running 10.10.1 and still no Bluetooth. I tried the AHT again and again it gets hung probing the hardware and I can't even initiate the test. I even tried a suggestion from another thread (hold ctl-shift-option and the power button for about 6 sec while the power is off)... that had worked for a number of folks but not for me.
One other piece of info I just confirmed while writing this, 0x6100000 is the Location ID associated with the BRCM2046 Hub - i.e. the Bluetooth device. Why this shows up as a hub on the USB Bus but the device itself doesn't appear to exist is confusing. I certainly would expect to see this as a USB hub on a correctly functioning system, it's just confusing why it's there when the underlying bluetooth device is not recognized.
So, I am pretty much convinced it's a hardware issue of some kind - given this is a "spare" Mac that I was simply trying to re-purpose to host a film scanner that requires a FireWire interface, I am not sure how much I want to invest financially in getting this resolved. I have heard that Apple no longer services these machines, but I could be wrong... As I see it my options are kind of limited:
1) Take it to a repair facility (even if Apple doesn't work on them, there are at least 2 places near by that do) and pay them $$ just to tell me that it's going to be $$$ fix it.
2) Get my hands dirty, open this thing up and see if I can fix it.
I'm leaning towards option 2, but I am really reluctant to go on a fishing expedition. Based on what I have observed, it seems to be a problem with the bluetooth module itself, and as I understand it that is a separate part from the main logic board... which means that I can replace it for about $35 and the cost of the right tools; which all together total about the same amount as the "diagnostic" fee any local repair shop would charge. If it's not that, then it's the logic board and the best price I can find for that puts it in the "not worth the trouble" category anyway. I don't want to rule out some other component - memory, disk drive, or power supply... but any of those, at least to me, seem like the kind of components which would cause more erratic behavior when they fail.
So, what's my question - simple ... have I missed something here. Before I perform open heart surgery are there any last tricks I can try or is my conclusion that this must be a hardware problem pretty solid?

IMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc

iMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc on cold start, and cannot find wifi hardware in the machine. Restart and everything is fine. I have two machine and they behave the same. Software or hardware problem?

First of all, try a hard restart; making sure no disks are in the slot, unplug everything from your computer (keyboards, mice, etc.) and then unplug the computer itself. Leave it unplugged for a minute or two, then plug it back in and boot it up.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the option-key on your keyboard. The screen should show a choice of which disk drive to boot from. Choose your usual drive.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the shift-key on your keyboard. It should take a while for it to boot up, as it is destroying all connections to sources that may contain a virus.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down keys "option-command-P-R" until you hear the startup tone a second time.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the C-key. Make sure you have inserted the installation disk before doing this step.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the command-key and the R-key.
If that fails, please reply to this and let me know.

MBP slow to boot and WILL NOT boot from external drive

I have two problems. First my friends MacBook Pro which is less than a month old is taking long to load. So I did a clean install without installing anything other than what came. Still slow to boot. Sometimes I see a light blue screen for a while before getting into the desktop. She complains of the beachball far too often. She says my MacBook is faster than her Pro, which is not right.
So I came down with my external LaCie drive, which I cloned from my iMac 24". I wasn't able to boot from the external (firewire) drive using her MacBook Pro. I thought my LaCie drive was bad or soemthing, but when I got home, I hooked it up to my MacBook and booted from the external drive just fine. I use SuperDuper to make a bootable clone.
So as it stands now, her computer is slow to boot into the OS, and it won't let me boot from my external drive. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I did a clean install, used cocktail, etc. If it persists, I'll tell her to take it in.
Thanks,
Bryan

Robert,
I have no idea what you mean by Apple is not responsive to the issue. If you want help, please start a new topic thread so someone can help you identify the problem without the distraction of other people's problems around yours. Blaming people does not solve problems.

Very slow to boot, even on an external drive

A friend's 15" MacBook Pro, quad core i7,(older, not sure of the exact model) very slow to boot, and boots with the progress bar, then when you try to log in, it goes back to the login page. Often it will not start. Starts after resetting SMC. Reset PRAM. Booted to the recovery disk, ran repair disk on drive, no errors, tried to run repair on the volume and the MBP shut down. Tried booting to an external drive and it boots to an empty desktop with a finder window like an extended desktop.Tried AHT, only the usual battery sensor error, 4SNS/1/40000000 TB3T-128.000. ran extended test, same thing, only the one error.
So, how to back up this MB Pro before I try an erase and install. (short of removing the drive) It would seem to be a hardware error, but always want to try an erase and install. Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions?

Mike -- thanks for your input. I guess Windows is just a worrisome thing for us Mac guys. Part of what always gets me is unknown code that goes into Windows. I did a Google the other day to see if I could get a feel for the "roots" of the upcoming Vista.
Who knows what Vista is really based on -- a modification of NT that was in part based on DOS and VMS? From my limited experience, I am not sure there is enough shelf space to hold the manuals to run VMS successfully. Of course, why worry; Boot Camp and other things will change before Vista gets here.
The bottom line is that I will use all the Windows security fixes.

OSX Lion won't boot after Bootcamp installation interrupted

Hello, I started a Bootcamp installation on my OSX Lion Mac Pro. Once I realized that I could only use Windows 7, I had to hold off on the installation until I located my Windows 7 disk. I had set the Bootcamp partition size to 100 GB on a 500 GB Drive. Due to threatning weather, I shutdown the computer.
Now the OSX Lion does not boot! I have been reading much information on this topic to see about fixing the problem. I talked to Apple Support and so far it is still not working. I was able to boot using the recovery partition "Disk Utility -> First Aid -> Repair Disk". When I ran Repair Disk there were some errors reported and repaired, then OSX still not booting. I installed Lion on another drive using recovery and that works OK. I was hoping to install Lion on the original drive and still not disturb my data files like music, photos, etc. That volume with OSX is greyed out and does not mount. I am thinking that the GPT had been modified and since Windows was not installed on Bootcamp, there is no way to boot on the original drive /dev/disk2. I read about a backup GPT, so I am wondering if I can use the backup GPT to fix the boot problem.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
David

Thanks for the fast reply. Ill try this again. Did this the first time, but wouldn't boot again. I've since done a,fresh install of Lion, and it created the proper recovery partition. I didn't have this before, because I cloned my old drive, when I upgraded to an SSD drive. Didn't know about the recover partition. Ill try again, and see if I can get it to work.
Just need to figure out the driver situation, with my Nvidia Quadro Mac video. Not worth trying again, if I have to use default generic video drivers.

My macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

Lion suddenly wont boot!

Hi
So. Suddenly my Macbook5,1 running an updated Lion won't boot.
I was playing some music through Airfoil and having a few other programs opened, put it to sleep, and when the Macbook woke up again, the spinning wheel of death appeared every time I pushed anything. So i shut it down by holding down the sspower button.
Then, when trying to start it again it hangs at the Apple logo and the spinning progress bar. I cannot boot into Safe Mode and I also tried resetting the PRAM.
I can to the Recovery partition, but repairing disk and permissions didnt help, and new install isnt a solution right now as it is a few weeks since my latest backup (stupid, yeah I know)
Do any of you have any suggestions of what went wrong or, more important, how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Jeppe

Thanks! That did solve my problem!
However, as I rebooted the same problem seemed to occur: some files are unreadable, system hangs for a bit. I cant even backup via Time Machine. Even when I try to copy-paste single folders, it hangs a specific files. I can of course delete that specific file and try again, but then another file will hang. This process can take a while.
I guess maybe bad blocks or even a damaged harddrive
Any way to vypass this problem? Maybe by maki an image of the disk?
