Macbook boot time too long

Hello, boot time on my MacBook seems to be very long. Can you please take a look at my bootchart and tell me what do you think?
And also the gnome login is very slow. More precisely, it takes too much time for the desktop to appear after logging in.
Here is the bootchart:

exapplegeek, your thread title is far too general. Please rephrase it such like: "Macbook boot time problem" as soon as possible.
And leave the "[BOOTCHART]" part out.

  • Windows 8.1 first boot time too long

    After Sysprep, windows 8.1 tooks long time to boot, is it normal?

    Hi,
    Generally, when you sysprep an image and deploy it to other devices, it would prepare the device settings, registry update and other computer configuration. This phase would take some time. We call it as specialize and OOBE pass.
    Here we have a metric to assess the first boot time, you can take a look at this guide:

  • My macbook is taking too long to turn on

    my macbook is taking too long to turn on.

    Try doing a NVRAM/PRAM reset - after you have done this - go to system preferences - startup disk and select your hard drive as the startup drive and restart your Macbook again.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.

  • Average processing time too long in workload monitoring (ST03N)

    Hi expert,
    I wander why average processing time too long in workload monitoring (ST03N)
    for example
    avg.response time : 4700 (ms)
    avg.processing time : 4200 (ms)
    avg.CPU time : 300 (ms)
    avg.DB time : 200(ms)
    OS (CPU and memory ) status is nomal.
    please tell me why processing time too long and what do I check more.
    thanks

    Hi
    Processing Time is the total time taken i.e. Time when user clicks on submit button to send data to SAP System till the time SAP System processes everything and shows the updated screen back to the user. It includes Network Time also.
    Average Processing Time is the Processing Time per Dialog Step
    In ST03N workload Monitor, there are different Task Type like Dialog, Background, RFC, Update,..........
    Could you be more specific where do you find the Average Processing Time high ? I mean for which Task Type.
    If you have users complaining for Performance problem check their Network Time also.
    Let us know, if this information was helpful to you.

  • First startup after PC boot takes too long / too slow

    Hello there.
    I've been experiencing this problem for about a year now but never actually thought it was a problem until I saw how fast FF can really start up on another computer.
    Searching this issue on google mostly suggested to delete themes and plugins, emptying cache, etc but it didnt help in my case.
    What I noticed is that when starting firefox for the first time on a recently booted computer it takes far too long to start up - 30-60sec. However exiting firefox and then restarting it is actually as fast as it should be. It is always the first startup that takes really long.
    I am also sure that it does '''not ''' have to do with the fact that I am trying to start firefox while the whole OS is still loading with all its background processes.
    Leaving the OS to load completely and then starting firefox also leads to a slow startup.
    I hope someone can help me with this issue.
    Many thanks!
    Leo
    My OS is Win7 64bit, 4gb RAM, using FF 10.0

    If you opt in for sending data to Firefox, that includes information about start-up times. The developers use that feedback to analyse problems and improve firefox. As you say themes and other software extensions to Firefox may increase startup times. Another thing you may do to speed up the startup is take the option to load tabs later not immediately.
    * use '''Firefox Button -> Options -> | General | -> []Dont load tabs until selected'''
    ** see [[options window - general panel]]
    * for other advice and suggestions read [[Firefox takes a long time to start up]]
    * also see [[How can I help by submitting performance data?]]

  • Satellite A300-1mz boot Vista too long

    Hi all...
    I'm asking for your support for a strange kind of problem that afflicts my *a300-1mz* since first day.
    *The booting of the O.S*.(windows vista home edition) *is too long* for my patience. *Its duration* is more than *2min,30sec*.
    Incredible for a dual core2duo and 4gb ram.
    The screen *"please wait"* stays for most of the time.
    I use always the hibernation function but sometimes I need to reboot and its duration is too long.
    I'm asking you for a solution.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I advise you to check programs and utilities in startup option. You can start this typing in RUN msconfig.
    http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2996/startrup.jpg
    As I now Tempro utility (Fingerprint utility if available)takes pretty much time as it scans for update
    2. Defragment your drive with any defragmentator like Diskeeper, Raxco Perfect disk, clean the whole system (registry, remove duplicated folders) with program like Winutility, Tuneup

  • T400 boot time takes long time & has issue with restart

    Not sure if any one has already posted this and got replies...
    my T400 has a strange issue. it takes a lot time in pre-boot... a cursor blinks on the top left corner for 5+ minutes and then loads the 'Windows loading...' screen for about another 5 mins and finally shows the windows logon screen.
    Additionaly, when i hit shutdown, i am fine. if i hit restart - i am sitting there for ever. 
    my laptop has 8GB RAM + 256 GB SSD + Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

    Srini,
    I brought your tweet in and started a new thread and then found you already had a forum discussion going, so I'll just apend to your original thread and will leave this since I tweeted the link back to you to let you know we were taking a look.(Apologies) 
    Does this abnormally long startup of your T400 occur when docked or by itself?  On battery or on AC power?   
    Have you checked the boot device order in BIOS?  Make sure HDD is listed first.
    Are there a lot of applications being loaded in the startup folder?
    Have you tried using the MSCONFIG utility (start -> run ->msconfig) and then selected the startup tab to see what programs are being loaded during boot and if you can uncheck some that you don't always need to load?
    This could reduce your boot time.  I believe this, along with some setting tweaks was suggested in a similar T400 slow boot thread here...
    Perhaps other members will have additional suggestions....

  • What's your macbook boot time ? Post here.

    Hello there guys. I own an Apple Macbook 13inch, 2.0ghz Core Duo 512 60GB White, with SuperDrive.
    First few days using it I was amazed with how fast the boot time was, but now it seems that it got slower.
    My current boot time is arround 25 seconds, starting when I press the power button till it shows me the welcome window to type my password (Please specify if your boot time is WITH or WITHOUT the type password login screen).
    I havent added any extra RAM memory or anything.
    Please post your boot time !
    Felipe

    Mine is 50 seconds with no password sign in.
    This is like comparing apples to oranges. There are many factors that could affect boot time. Programs set to run on boot up. Programs that have auxiliary programs run even if their not open. My eyetv and hp printer have these background items that start on boot up.
    I think fifty seconds is great. My wife waits forever for her PC to boot and I know it has a lot less stuff start up on boot.
    What are you trying to prove by this analysis?

  • Elapsed Timer Too Long?

    Is there a limit to the duration I can input into an elapsed timer VI? In my program the user can specify a duration of up to 24 hrs. My program is supposed to hold current conditions for the specified durations. When the user sets it 1, 2, 3 or four hours it holds the current conditions fine. When they set it to 24 hours the current conditions are not held for 24 hours. Is this too long of a duration for this VI (86,400 seconds)?
    thanks.

    rchaoua wrote:
    The question regarding maximum duration a elapsed time VI has still not been answered.
    You can convert the "elapsed time" express VI to a plain VI by "right-click...open front panel" and inspect the code yourself. There are no secrets! You can see that it converts the timestamp to DBL and operates on the lower precision DBL values. This should be sufficient for much more than 24 hours, so something else is wrong in your case.
    Can you attach an example that shows the incorrect behavior (=premature elapsation?).
    rchaoua wrote:
    But I have another question; Can you have multiple elapsed time VI in a single piece of code and not have it affect the other elapsed VIs?  I have three elapsed timers in my code (in different panels) and get the sneaking supsicion that they are not behaving nicely with each other. But I am not sure. I was hoping someone has expereince with this scenario and could shed some light.
    The crucial subVIs are reentrant and thus there should be no interaction between multiple instances of the "elapsed time" express VI. Each will keep it's own state. Why do you suspect that they interact?

  • NI7358 Acceleration time too long

    Hi all,
    First, let me introduces briefly our application for your better understanding before touch the problem.
    We're using NI7358 to control 8 servo motors(Mitsubishi HC-KFS13, 100W, 3000RPM, 131072Counts/Rev) for pick and place. The amplifier is also Mitsubishi one MELSERVO-J2M-P8A. From view of NI7358 all 8 axes are open-loop stepper while amplifier will close-loop control the servo motors. One limitation here is this amplifier only can accept 200KPPS pulse rate input, so we set amplifier internal gear ratio to 4096/125 to achieve its maximum speed.
    GearRatio=(3000rpm*131072count/60)/(200*1000counts/sec)
    Then based on this ratio we can know the resolution of "stepper" in view of NI7358 is 4000RPM. (131072*125/4096)
    Now our problem is:
    The system requires these motors move in short distance(1200steps for NI7358) in the shortest time. So we want to shorten the acceleration/deceleration time as possible as we can. As we test the same application before using Keyence PLC as pulse generator, it can meet our target so we expect NI also can.
    During testing using MAX under 1-D interactive, when I set Velocity=3000rpm, Accel/Decel=20000rps/s, target=1200steps, I can get the best result around 1040rpm(peak velocity) with Accel/Decel time around 50ms. The time is too long for us. If I set increase Accel/Deceleration to its maximum* NI7358 will stop pulse output at all(don't know why but suspect it's because of short distance)
    * Maximum Accel/Deceleration(RPS/s) = Amax X (1/Ts) X (1/Ts) X (1/R) (refer to the description of "flex_load_rpsps")
       for our case: Amax=32counts/sample; Ts=0.25ms; R=4000steps/Rev, result is 128000(RPS/s)
    Questions:
    1. Is Amax=32counts/sample hardware fixed?
    2. Any reason can cause NI7358 stop output pulse when I set maximum acceleration/decelration?
    3. Does NI provide time-based profile instead of velocity one so we can set acceleration/deceleration time directly?
    4. Can I use direct pulse output mode just like a pulse generator instead of current profile output?
    5. Under open-loop mode, if I change PID & acceleration feedforward gain, do these will affect the output pulse performance?
    6. If we change the control circuit from open-loop stepper to close-loop servo system, does it can solve our problem?
    7. How does the trajectory generator produces the count/steps output during the acceleration? I create an excel file(attached below) try to draw out the relationship between the sample, velocity and acceleration, anyone can check for me it's correct or not?
    My formula is here:
    Position2 = Position1 + Velocity2*(Sample2-Sample1)
    Velocity2  = Velocity1 + Acceleration*(Sample2-Sample1)
    All comments are appreciated!

    BO has no controls over VPN or network bamdwith, it takes what OS and DB drivers give it.
    You'll need to identify at which point of the workflow to refresh the report the slowness is occuring.
    You'll need to enable webi tracing and see how long the actual refresh take.
    You'll need to enable network traces to see where in the network the slowdown is occuring.

  • Profile WS run time too long

    My first test run (in dev) of the custom Java PWS against a SQL server database seems to be taking too long. Its seems to be taking appx. 1 second or more per user. This will be a problem when processing around 20,000 users. We can't have a PWS running for 4-6 hours everynight.
    I'd really appreciate any tips to optimize this for faster performance. I am opening DB Connection and running 2 queries for each users and clsoing the statement and connection. Can I do this another way so I open the DB connection(and maybe statement) for the Profile Source only once and release the connection etc. after the whole job is done or in case of errors.
    Please help as this could be a huge bottleneck for us!
    Thanks.

    Hi Akash,
    Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately I don't have any signature field to limit the profile sync by. I am currently running the PWs in ToMCAT 4.1.30. We plan to deploy on WAS in dev. I am not sure if there is connection pooling being done by Tomcat in 4.1.30 version. Do you have any information on that? I am doing db connect and 2 property queries in the getuserproperties method.
    1. Would the connection pooling (if done in WAS) make any difference to the run time?
    2. Would opening the connection in initialize() method versus GetUserProperties() make any difference?
    As always, thanks for your help.
    Vanita
    ------- Akash Jain wrote on 3/1/05 1:25 PM -------Hi Vanita,On recent hardware, you should be able to perform an initial profile sync at at a rate of ~10/second. This means you should be able to perform your 20k users profile sync in under an hour. Resyncs should be much faster if you use a signature attribute.
    I'm going to assume you're hitting some database backend with a table structure like the following:Users Table String UserGUID Date LastModified
    Properties Table int PropID String UserGUID String PropValue
    You have your users keyed off a unique name - a GUID in this example - and properties in a seperate table keyed off PropID and GUID.
    Lets review the protocol and each step:a) initialize() - sends the parameters of the profile sync to the PWS, this is a good place to do a single query to your database in order to cache all user unique names and signatures (LastModified dates) in a HashTable. This will make re-syncs much faster since subsequent AttachToUser() and GetUserSignature() calls will be derived from this HashTable.b) attachToUser() - in this call you can simply lookup your user record against the HashTable created in Initialize(). If no entry is returned, then throw a NoSuchUserException. If a user does exist continue.c) getUserSignature() - again use the HashTable created in Initialize() to lookup the signature for this user. return it as a String.d) getUserProperties() - if called, this means the signature you sent back in step (c) has changed since the last profile sync. you now want to make a call to your properties table (a single DB call) to load all the property values for the user. return these as a UserPropertyInfo object.
    During an initital sync, you will always get to step (d) above. During re-syncs, assuming there is low churn, I'd say a max of 1% of your calls will get to step (d) and thus the re-sync should be an order of magnitude faster in most cases.
    With respect to database connections - if you are opening and closing a connection for each user, this is pretty poor with respect to performance. Your best bet in Java is to use a single connection (this is a single threaded process) which is setup in initialize(). In the shutdown() method, close this connection.
    I hope this helps, the combination of using a single connection, using the signature attribute and caching all the users unique names and signatures in one call at the start of the profile sync should drastically increase performance.
    Thanks,Akash

  • Download time too long

    Why is it taking too long to download a song?  Im talking HOURS if it even happens!

    Could you download the graphics dynamically as they are required?
    So, the air app would be the master 'app' and those additional 
    graphics are loaded from your server only when required? I'd bet this 
    would be the way you'd build it if the app were purely based online 
    and not via air?

  • 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?

  • Migration assistant from MacBook Pro to iMac time too long.

    Okay. I know this has been asked a number of times but I have yet to find a discussion with the time span my macs have given me. Quick story: Migration assistant from 2006-ish model MacBook Pro with snow leopard to brand new iMac (got it three days ago). The absolute only option I have been given is to transfer via wifi, regardless if thunderbolt/firewire or Ethernet is plugged in. Nothing else will come up so I am forced to do a wifi transfer. My time span is about 124 hours, which is nuts. Given, I am transferring about 500gb (I'm a recording musician). Is this normal or is there something hosing up my transfer? It is moving, but very slowly. Since last night it has moved almost a quarter of the way. Has anyone else had this long of a wait? And no, I don't have a large external hd.

    Hello flyinghostie,
    If you've not already, you'll need to launch Migration Assistant on both systems. The article linked below provides further information that you may find helpful.

  • Sign-in time too long (Win 8.1)

    Two days ago I received quite a strong new Win 8.1 computer (with SATA drive).
    I have opted for a LOCAL user only without a password.
    The boot process was extremely fast: the computer turns-on to the blue log-in screen in few seconds; and then pressing Enter the signing-in process was almost immediate.
    Then, a bad thing happened: I was lured by Microsoft to sign-in with a Microsoft account.
    Then, signing-in to my computer with this MS account (and password) took ages; I mean, something like a full one minute the computer was trying to sign-in until eventually succeeding.
    Understanding my mistake (why would I want an MS account?) I decided to disconnect from my Microsoft account, and return back to my nice local user.
    But now, the long waiting time to signing-in (even without a password, and with an automatic log-in) still remains: I wait like 25 sec when the blue screen and the white dot circulate repeatedly until my account is signed-in.
    What is going on?
    Help me!

    Hi,
    Did you mean after switch to local user account, it still took long time to sign in?
    Firstly please disable unnecessary startup program:
    1. Open Task manager;
    2. Jump to Startup tab, right click to disable the unnecessary applications one by one.
    If the issue still persists, refresh your computer for test:
