Long time starting up becuase of network

We have about 30 macs joined to AD and preferences managed by an xserve. And when starting they all take a long time to start up. This problem only occurs when the mac is bound to the network. This problem exists worst on a mac book as today it would not get to the log in screen. Its not because the macs are wrong but it seems that it has a conflict and times out after a while but once its got to the log in screen its fine and can be used on the network no problems. I cant think what could be causing this problem. Has any one else experienced this?
Thanks

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Long time starting up

When I start up I get the blank blue screen for at least 5 minutes. This is only in OS.X. I use OS.9 often still and don't get any problem starting up in that. I do get this issue when changing Start Up Disk from OS.9 to OS.X. They are on the same harddrive.

Long-time start up and batteri charge problem?

Hi,
I bought the new Mac-air 2014 (11 inch) yesterday. It seem have problem: the start up time is quite long up to around 20s. The battery reduce quite fast about 5 hour and I charged for one night, but the battery increased only 20% (Mac still working and also iCloud)
So has any problem with my Mac?

Going from Lion back to Snow Leopard is not as straight forward as it should be.
Do you have a backup of your Snow Leopard iMac disk before upgrading to Lion? If you do, that is the simplest way to go back to SL. If not, then, there is no simple way to do so.
A number of discusions on this forum address downgrading to SL from Lion.
Before you proceed, however, consider whether you have a need for iCloud synchronisation, a Lion only feature, and also consider future updates that will be Lion only.
I would also look at the iMac hardware configuration and see if it is optimised for Lion. Do you have enough RAM and free disk space to run Lion?
How long have you been running Lion? I found that the speed of Lion improved over a matter of days, as if Lion needed to settle in. Has spotlight finished indexing your disk? Have your repaired permissions in Disk Utility? Look at Activity Monitor for processes that are consuming CPU.
I would only go back to Snow Leopard as a last resort.

Outlook 2013 taking long time start but in safe mode not

Hello!
In our company we started to use Outlook 2013 clients, several users are contacting us because Outlook 2013 needs about a 1 minute or more to show that is loading the application / "Loading window":
If the user by mistake try to open Outlook again, pops the next message:
"Sorry, we're having trouble startind Outlook. Only one version of Outlook can run at time. Check to see of anopther version of Outlook is running, or try restarting your computer."
And also appears another one with saying:
"The operation failed due to an installation problem. Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please reinstall."
After that if they try to open again Outlook, Outlook suggest to open it in "Safe Mode".
If they clic on "Yes" Outlook starts very fast but if they click on "No" takes about 1 or 2 minutes to pop the Outlook "Loading window"
As in Safe Mode loads quick, we tried to disable all the Addins in Outlook but didn't resolve the issue.
Also tried to repair and reinstall the Office package, create a new local profile with new OST file.
The issue happens to diferent email/user accounts and computers.
We are working using Exchange configurations, and our build is W7 x64 enterprise, office 2013 32bits Standard.
Thanks for your help!

Long Time For Internet Network Access After Sleep (Interesting Twist)

I have a Macbook Pro and an Airport Extreme. Recently, I have noticed that when my Macbook Pro comes out of sleep mode, it takes a long time to connect to my network. Here is the interesting twist on the problems that I have seen reported on here: I immediately connect to the Airport Extreme. I know this because I see the signal strength indicator on the Pro (upper toolbar) showing that I am connected with strong signal strength. However, when I attempt to access the Internet I get page errors that show I am not connected to the Net. After about a minute or two, everything is fine.
This started happening recently and other than whatever upgrades Apple has sent my way, I have not changed nor added anything to the system.
Any thoughts?

Given your connection will eventually come good you'll probably find that your problem lies with your DHCP server and your MBP's inability to quickly get a new address. Check the DHCP's server admin that it has a decently large enough address pool as having too small a pool can often cause these issues. I normally recommend having a pool around 50% more than the number of computers that it serves else a minimum of 5.

Takes a long time to find wireless network

So for the past few months my (Santa Rosa) MBP will take an extremely long time to find a wireless network. This happens both at home and other places where I have connected in the past and am wanting to use a remembered network. It can take as long as two and a half minutes to connect. If I click on the airport icon in the menu bar, then it says it's scanning for networks during this time.
Usually if I create a new location then the problem will go away but then seems to come back. The problem also persists if I use a different user.
I've repaired permissions, done a disk repair and even used Diskwarrior. I miss instantly finding wireless networks. It's a small inconvenience, granted but was hoping to get this fixed once and for all.
Anyone have any suggestions of things to try? Thanks all.

Takes a long time to find and connect to wireless

I've had this problem for a long time and have done extensive research. On this Thinkpad Edge bought from Office Depot a few years ago, every time the laptop wakes up from Sleep, it takes one and half to two minutes to find the wireless signal. No other devices in the house have this problem. I've turned off all kinds of power saving features to no avail. Any advice is appreciated.

We'll keep trying and let you know when it's been sent.
I am also unable to download (I use Send Space and Mega Upload), plus it takes a long time to get to any page, I have to Reload several times and sometimes it still does not work!
I'm using a PC, XP professional -
I was away for 9 days came home to my computer not responding. I am using the free version of AVG security and read the instructions in the Mozilla help Re: Firewalls, changing the AVG settings removing Mozilla and then adding it back in. However I checked for updates on AVG none were available and the instructions Mozilla has are for a version of AVG that I do not have. I am using 8.5 and I think the instructions were for 9.0. At any rate I am stuck, and desperately need to get this figured out! I hope that this is enough information for someone to point me in the right direction.? Your help is be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Charisme

Lenovo Services/Program takes a long time to start after bootup

It seems like Lenovo services take a long time to start after boot up is completely done.
My Bootup time is less than a minute (0:51s), but my lenovo services (Power Manager Gauage, Lenovo Services in the Sidebar, have th ThinkVanatage Button work, and most annoying of all is having access to my network card to change networks) takes about 2 minutes.
Is there a reason why this is taking so long?
I've uninstalled and installed the lastest Lenovo Interface Driver, and a lot of ThinkVantage/Lenovo software and drivers.
Any ideas?

No response?
Anyone else on T400 notice this?

MacBook Pro takes a long time to start up or hangs at gray apple logo after minor fall

I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago. Everything was working fine until yesterday, when my MacBook Pro started taking a really long time to start up or restart.
Before upgrading I had some directory problems which I fixed with DiskWarrior. I then upgraded to Mavericks. There was also a fall that I took, which resulted in the MacBook Pro hitting on one corner and getting a minor dent (It was inside a padded messenger bag when I fell). It worked fine for a whole day, but the next day it started slowing down and getting stuck.
I run DiskWarrior again and there was more directory problems, which were fixed again. When I start the MacBook Pro from an external HD with Mac OS X 10.8, there is no delay in starting up. When I switch to the internal HD, then I get very long delays (5-10min) or hangs at the gray apple logo screen.
DiskUtility did not report any problems, neither did SMART report.
Could it be that the HD got somewhat damaged and gets stuck intermittently? Is it possible to start up OK some times and others to get stuck?
How can I check the HD? Shouldn't the SMART report indicate a problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my main work computer!
Chris

I think that my Mac was shutdown when it fell, but I am not 100% sure.
I did perform both SMC and PRAM resets. I will also try to run maintenance scripts. Thanks for the suggestion.
It keeps on taking around 10min to restart now, but it has not frozen yet.
The other very strange thing that happens (and this was the first sign I had when it started acting up) is that Mail.app cannot connect to my IMAP servers (a host provider and Google), even though my Mac connects to the internet. I have the MacBook Pro on the same ethernet network as my home iMac, and I get mail without a problem on the iMac! So something is blocking the mail on the MacBook Pro.
This happened for the first time on Friday and after that I kept having the long delays in startup or freezes I mentioned before.
Could those two be connected?
When I use an external HD as as start up I can get mail fine.

Firefox takes a long time to start, unless I disconnect from the internet first, in which case it starts instantly.

Whenever I start firefox, it takes an inordinately long time (usually close to a minute, sometimes longer) to start up. i.e. no window, no nothing. In task manager, it shows no activity for cpu, disk, or network activity - it's as if it's waiting for a connection to be made or something.
If I disable my internet access first, then start firefox, it starts up instantly, and once the internet re-enabled, it works normally.
Whatever it is doing at initial startup is taking a very long time - couldn't it be done in a separate thread, and let normal startup continue?

InDesign 9.2 - Save to network location takes a long time.

Saving InDesign files to a network location seems to take an extremely long time during which I am unable to do anything else inside InDesign.
I know that this has been an issue for me for at least 2 weeks (since March 3, 2014, possibly earlier). I am not certain whether I have updated InDesign since then, but have consistently been experiencing this same problem.
Today I ran some tests (all using the same ~20MB file).
Save from InDesign to network location: 12 seconds
Save from InDesign to desktop: <2 seconds
Copy file (in Windows Explorer) from desktop to network: <2 seconds
Copy file from network to desktop: <2 seconds
I know I can work on the file locally and copy my saved versions out at the end of the day, but this was not necessary before, and I don't know what changed to make this take so much longer than it used to.
Current system configuration: InDesign 9.2 x64 running on a Win 7 Pro 64-bit with 16GB RAM and a Xeon 3.6GHz processor.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks!

Daylight savings time started on the 9th, right? I'm not sure about what a "server time sync problem" would be, but since my problem started before the DST switch, it doesn't seem that this could be the cause.
Also, since I am able to copy to and from the server outside of InDesign without any problems, doesn't this indicate the server and my computer are communicating just fine?
Thank you for your assistance!

Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins). How do I fix this?

My Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins) every single time I have shut it down. I try not to shut it down at all now because once or twice, I have got a grey screen, and then nothing. I've held down the power button to shut down again and restart How do I fix all this?

Start up with your built-in Recovery disk by holding down the Command and R keys when starting. Open Disk Utility from there and use it to REPAIR your disk (you've already verified it and it came up with errors).
With any luck, your problems will be solved. While I was there, I would also repair permissions.
Good luck,
Clinton

Installation of Yosemite 10.10.1 has severely slowed the performance of my Mac. Takes a long time to start-up and to load any apps. Any suggestions?

Installation of Yosemite 10.10.1 has severely slowed performance of my Mac Mini. Tales a long time to start, and a very long time to start any apps.

Open Activity Monitor and kill this process - rapportd.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility 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 Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X 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.
Alternatively, see:
