TS2002 my mac pro takes a long time to start up!

i had my mac pro for less than a year.
i updated it to lion.
now, my mac heats up very fast, the fans won't stop running, and my startup seems to get slower and slower

I assume that's 117°F ?
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."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
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.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.
Then I'd get Lion Cache Cleaner & clear the caches...

So, have you opened Console yet & seen any messages going by?

MacBook Pro takes too long to boot

I have a late-2013, 15" MacBook Pro with retina display.
It takes a half hour or more to boot if I reboot it after using it for any appreciable amount of time. Sometimes I can get it to boot faster if I boot it in safe mode, or if I interrupt it by powering off a few minutes into the boot process and then restarting it.
The computer hangs on the white screen with the Apple logo showing and the spinner spinning.
If I reboot it immediately after it finally boots up, it boots normally.
I've tried everything I can think of to diagnose and fix this problem. I uninstalled every bit of software I'm not using. I removed unneeded printers and other devices. I removed all my Login items except for DropBox and iTunes Helper.
I have no startup items (both /LibraryStartupItems and /System/Library/StartupItems are empty, and ~/Library/StartupItems does not exist).
Before I got the MacBook Pro I had a 2011 MacBook Air. I used the Time Machine backup from the Air to initialize the Pro. I never had any such problem with the Air. I also have a 2013 iMac, which has most of the same software installed on it as my MacBook Pro; the iMac exhibits no issues with booting or any other problems.
I've repeatedly repaired my disk and permissions. I do it every time I have to boot. It makes no difference.
At first I thought this was a minor issue I could live with, since I don't reboot my computer every day, but it's become increasingly annoying. On several occasions I've had the computer crash unexpectedly which meant I was out of business for half an hour while I tried to reboot it. Once this happened while I was giving a presentation to a group of people with a projector, which was extremely frustrating. In fact, compared to other Macs I own or have owned in the past, this MacBook Pro crashes a lot more often.
I've found several other posts about this problem. Is there just some fundamental issue with these MacBook Pros? Is Apple aware of it? Will they be able to fix it with an OS update or a firmware update? How long will I have to wait for that?

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

AME CS6 rendering with AE and Pr takes too long

Hi Guys,
Need some help here. i have rendered a 30 secs mp4 video with 1920 x 1080 HD format 25 frames w/o scripting in AME for 4 hours!
Why does it take too long? I have rendered a 2 minute video with same format w/ scripting but only spare less than 30 minutes for rendering.
Im using After Effects and Premium Pro both CS6 and using Dynamic Link in AME.
What seems to be wrong in my current settings?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

This may be a waste of time, but it won't take a minute and is something you should always do whenever things go strangely wrong ............ trash the preferences, assuming you haven't done it already.
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

Mac Pro takes few minutes to shutdown

Cloned your system and tried with that?

Why does it take too long to open attachments from email account?

It takes forever to download attachments from my email account. I have tried to do the following tasks explained on the vista forum :http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6b046ae9-1434-4423-9303-400ff6fe686b1033.mspx#ESD but none of the possible fixes work.
After clicking open on the pop up box asking whether i want to open or save the attachement It takes too long to download it. The transfer window stays open showing that it is ready to download but stays at that bhox window. I press cancel and try to open again, if lucky it opens that file, otherwise it takes forever forceing me to cancel. The files very small files most of the time, usually between 50kb so should take seconds.
I have even tried to save the files but again same process. The transfer box stays open but does not download.
Any one any ideas.
Thanx in advance.

Hello
It is not easy to say what happen exactly but it must be something with email account provider and their page. For me this case is not some typical Vista problem but you can try to find solution on Microsoft Vista IT Pro forum.
By the way: do you have alternative mail address by some other provider? Is there the same situation?

When I back up my library, the pictures do not go to my external HD as albums/pastes, they are copied all together, so I have to arrange one by one to get all organized. It takes too long. Is there any option to organize it automatically? Thanks

If you backup correctly to a correctly formatted drive (Mac OS extended (journaled) )then everything can be restored exactly as it was prir to the backup
How exactly are you "backing up"?

Ipod takes too long to connect

I just bought an 80 gb 5.5 gen ipod last week and everything was great, but now when i plug it into the PC it takes too long to detect it as a disc drive and once i open the itunes it takes too long to show the info i have stored, and sometimes only shows the music folder (no movies, tvshows, podcasts, etc) Is something wrong with my ipod?
Maybe is because of the songs and videos i already have... but i have more than 60 gb free.
It has also crashed twice while using the search feature, it just resets for itself.
Windows XP Pro 1.5 Ghz, 512 mb RAM

Alright so I found the answer to part of my question just now. Thinking when I first got my iPod Touch, I remembered that backups weren't as long. Then I thought to when things started getting worst, and I figured out that it started when I put too many apps on my iPod. So i removed all of them and my backup was the fastest I've seen in a while. Then I just but back the ones I really wanted and everything seems fine....for now.

Takes too long to hibernate when I close the lid - Also random device noise when it boots up

Hello guys.
Ever since i've wiped the machine, i've been having these two problems. When I close the lid, it used to go to sleep straight away, but now I can see the sleep light (and the power button) flash and flash, then it goes to sleep.
When waking up it goes through the lenovo startup screen and resuming windows, then it asks for a password, before I used to open the lid and it would ask me for the password straight away. I know it was going to sleep because I could hear the beep straight away when I closed and opened it, but now it just takes too long.
Also, everytime I boot up into windows or resume into windows from a sleep state, I can hear the device noise, like something is being plugged in/out. But there is nothing being plugged in or out at the time. I can't get to device manager quick enough to see what it is that is causing it.
But all drivers seem okay.
Thanks in advance.
Sam.
EDIT: Also noticed, when the lid is closed, randomly the laptop turns off (hear the beep) an then turns back off again.
Weird.

HT4352 apple tv takes too long to load photos

I am running iTunes (11.1.5.5) on Windows 7 and have setup home sharing and accessing the Photo Library from Apple TV 3rd Generation.
We have a lots of photos (approx 21000) organizaed in folders, eg:
Main Photo Folder
Folder 1 (5500 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Folder 2 (3500 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Folder 3 (12000 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Apple TV doesn't show the sub-folders beyond the first set of folders and as a result it takes too long to load our list of photos, is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Thanks!

I am having exactly the same issue. Moved house and now starting a movie takes minutes, not seconds... I've got both the Mac and ATV connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme base station, but have no explanation for this bizarre slowdown. I also don't have internet currently, but I can't understand with content not purchased on iTunes, why that would make any difference...?

Apple TV Gen 3 takes too long to load 15,000 photos. Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

I just purchased Apple TV (Gen 3) It takes too long to load my over 15,000 photos for viewing. This was never a problem with my ATV (Gen 1). Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

Do you have a technical question?
What have you done to troubleshoot?
Typically issues like this are related to the local network. First thing would be to try ethernet, if on wifi. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV, router.
You can go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network.

HT1338 audio midi initializing takes too long

I am having trouble with midisport 4x4 installation and setup. My Cubase 6 (and even garageband) take too long to initialize audio midi setup and finally don't succeed.As a result midisport 4x4 don't work. Even when it does there is notable latency.My audio interface is DIGIDESIGN 003 Rack. I've tried Avid MBOX PRO also. Problem remain the same.

Hi Brad,
Thank you for your quick response. I am sorry that I couldn't upload the file, and it also has some VI involved with as well, so I don't know if I can do it.
Since it doesn't work when I add 2 inspections to one, I decide go with the Select Inspection Function now; and it seems working well and doesn't take much time to load each of the inspection.
Thanks.
