Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS

My Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS. I thought this might be because I'd used a lot of disk space but I've now reduced that - I'm only using 40 of the 320 gb available. I have no games and I've unchecked the "re-open windows" option on shutdown. The rest of the preformance (once in) remains good.

41 seconds is actually a little faster then normal. Boot from completely off is normally around 45-50 seconds.
Your computer never ever came on almost instantaneously from completely off. You are confusing waking up from sleep mode and booting the computer from completely off.

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!

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.

Mid-2010 MacBook Pro taking a long time to boot up with Yosemite (Etrecheck results)

I'd be so grateful if anyone can help me get to the bottom of this. The MacBook's otherwise working just fine just takes quite a lot longer (2-3 mins) to boot up since installing Yosemite. Just tried upgrading the memory which has made the system run faster but doesn't seem to have remedied the boot up problem.
Thanks in advance.

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?

Logic Pro takes incredibly long time to start

Dear forums
I noticed not long ago that Logic Pro takes an incredibly long time to start. I know I have quite a number of plugins installed and I guess it's going through the plugin folder to initialize all of them and look for new ones. Fair enough.
But it takes 2 minutes to finally show a splash screen and after 2 minutes and 20 seconds I can finally start using Logic Pro. Is that normal or am I the only one?
Interestingly, I noticed that after the upgrade to Aperture 3.1, also Aperture suddenly took a long time to load. Also almost exactly 2 minutes and 20 seconds (and I barely have plugins in Aperture). Usually you start the software and spend some hours with it, I know. But I jump in and out of apps a lot and the loading times are quite annoying. I think 2.5 minutes are quite a loading time. I can boot my whole Mac 4x in that timeframe.
Any ideas where that might be coming from? Is that normal and am I being too picky? Thanks for a reality check

Created new user account. Same thing. Logic took over 2 minutes to even start validating all the installed AU plugins (first thing it does on a new user account). After that, another start took also 2 minutes until the "choose project template" dialog appeared.
I read some posts that mounted USB sticks or flash cards could make Aperture super slow when importing photos. I have Boot Camp installed and have a Windows 7 NTFS partition on the same drive as my MacOS. So, out of curiosity, I forced it to unmount as the partition automatically gets mounted by the OS.
Voilà! That seems to have been the culprit! Now both Logic and Aperture display the splash screen in seconds and start like they are supposed to. Thanks for your help. Without your suggestions I probably would have never tried this.

Why does my Macbook Pro take so long to go to sleep?

I have a mid 2012 15' Macbook Pro with retina display and I'm having problems with it going to sleep mode. This laptop was used for a few months by my brother before me and he had no problems with this, and neither did I have it until a few days ago. When I close the lid of my laptop and reopen it within 30 seconds, only the display has turned off (while the lid is closed), but after reopening the lid the laptop would go to sleep about 5 seconds later. This also happens when I use the power button and choose the sleep option. It'll then take a minute to go to sleep.
I've made no major changed to the settings recently bit I do use an app called InsomniaX (version 2.0.1) that can stop the laptop from entering sleep more while closing the lid. I don't know if its the app that's causing this or not. I've used it for 2 weeks before the problem started. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the latest version of the app (2.1.3a) and the problem persists on both instances. And of course the problem persists even if the app is closed so I know that its not because of the "disable lid sleep" option of the app.
I know that this question has been posted before of my other sites as well but I could not find a problem that was close to mine. Any sort of help would be appriciated. Thank you.

I have that issue aswell (not all the time, but sometimes). Check for InsomniaX updates, I have InsomniaX aswell, and I am convinced it is the root of the problem. Alo try restarting InsomniaX. Click on it's Icon, go down to quit, and go through the ring-roll of it informing you the world will end if you quit. Then go into Spotlight, type in InsomniaX, and open it up again. You might also have to reenter your settings inside InsomniaX, if you haven't ticked the box for 'Save states on exit'

My Macbook Pro takes to much time to start..

Hello, Guys.
I am using MacBook Pro 13" inch with 2.5GHz intel core i5, 5GB hard drive and 8GB RAM. and My problem is my mac takes to much time to start. it is taking almost 1 min to start.. is that a problem?? or?? can i find the solution for that??? Guy.?
and also i am using Mac OS 10.9 (mavericks)
Please Reply me.. Thank you

Hello,
1) Open disk utility and verify your disk. Sometimes, slow boot up can be a sign of disk damage (either due to file system corruption or physical failure).
2) More often, third party software drivers and launch agents can cause this to happen. Please run this program and post the output:

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?

Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:

If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

On many Windows 8 & 8.1 systems in our environment the Lync client will take anywhere from 2-10 seconds to pop up when clicked on in the taskbar. The application is running, logged in, and active. This is very frustrating to our userbase
as they will click on it multiple times and have it then act like a jackrabbit when it finally processes the requested actions.
The computers we have are brand new systems. Happens on freshly installed & updated versions of Lync 2013. Seems to be after the Lync client hasn't been clicked on, or utilized in a while. Other applications pop up instantly (zero delay)
and without any problems, it only affects Lync. I tried disabling UI animations such as fade, slide etc, which did nothing to help the issue.
This has me a bit stumped, and I'm wondering if this is a known issue or not? Hopefully there is a solution?

I wouldn't say it's dismissive, I was asking for more information. I wanted to know if it was potentially an overactive endpoint protection application or something similar, if it can't be reproduced on fresh build of Windows then something is interfering
and it's difficult to work out not knowing what all is installed. Most people don't experience the issue so I imagine another piece of software may likely be conflicting.
I do agree that it's not an answer, at the least not very useful answer. Occasionally items get marked as answer but they're more of a "closed" as the original poster never responds.
I'd suggest posting your issue in the Lync 2013 forums instead as people are less likely to watch this post now that it's already marked "answered". Work through it and see what can be found, hopefully you'll find some good information which will be
more helpful to others.

Takes a long time to wake from sleep?

If my 2012 Mac Mini has gone into sleep mode for some time it takes forever to wake up and become responsive again. There is also a lot of disk activity for some time after it wakes and it is very sluggish.
It is like it has gone into hibernation?
Any ideas?

Checking Disk Utility there are no S.M.A.R.T. errors.
Activity Monitor the top item most of the time is Kernal Task with around 2.5% CPU.
There is 13.18 GB Free Ram and Page Outs are 0 bytes.
In Console there are several repeating messages:

My MacBook Pro takes along time wake up ??

My Macbook Pro takes a long time to wake when sleeping for over an hour and plug in. Is there a setting to fix this because this is very frustrating when opening up my macBook after a long day at work and it takes 20 sec or so for the computer to wake up and become active. PLEASE HELP

The computer enters a so-called standby mode after it has been in sleep on battery power for more than a certain time (one hour, by default.) In that mode, the contents of memory are saved to a file, and then the power is turned off. When the computer wakes up, the contents of memory are restored from the file. As a result, waking from sleep takes longer than it otherwise would. The benefit is that sleep can be prolonged indefinitely without draining the battery or having to reboot.
You have two choices. One is to do nothing. Use the machine as designed. That's what I recommend.
The second choice is to increase the delay before standby mode is triggered, or to disable standby mode completely. This is an unsupported option and you're on your own as to the consequences. If you choose to go this route, proceed as below. These instructions are for advanced users only. You are tinkering with the hardware configuration at a low level, with the possibility of doing damage from which it may not be easy to recover.
Back up all data.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Drag across the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo pmset –a standbydelay
Don't copy the blank space at the end of the line.
Launch the Terminal 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, 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). Press the space bar, then type the delay you want, in seconds. For example, if you want to change the standby delay from the default one hour to eight hours, enter 28800. Don't put commas or other punctuation marks in the number. To disable standby, enter 0 (zero.)
When the command is complete, press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. After running it, quit Terminal. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.

Macbook Pro takes long time to wake from sleep

Hi, I have recently purchased the latest Macbook Pro (Mid-2012, not the Retina display version), and I've noticed if the Macbook is left switched on, with the lid down and not plugged into the mains, it will take a long time to wake from sleep. I've looked for similar posts, and everyone describes it as a long delay, but for me the screen is greyed out (but transparent) and a process bar appears, which fills up and then the display loads properly, but it takes a further 30-50 seconds to activate things like the mouse and wifi etc (it feels like it has completely frozen).
Has anyone experienced this and is it normal? I looked up standby mode, but am led to believe this is only with the retina display models, so am a bit worried.

Hi Thumbnut,

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 takes a long time to run 'X11.app' (with system log)

Hello everyone, English is not my mother tongue so may not be exactly correct, sorry about that.
Background:
I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and was running Leopard 10.5.
I did a clean installation and now Snow Leopard 10.6.2, with iLife, iWork, and many many apps.
I am the only one who will use the Mac and my user account is as the 'admin'.
I previously had a problem concerning X11 too:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343732
*What I've done:*
(1) rename my HD to 'Michaels_Home' under 'Get Info' from Finder (I can't rename in Disk Utility though)
(2) press return (enter)
(3) change my home folder path to the '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
(4) restart
(5) log in and open X11
(6) problem solved!!
==========
*BUT NOW* I have a problem after:
(1) log in as the root user, and use command +ditto -V xyz xyz+ to copy my home folder from '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' to '/Users>Michael'
(2) change my home folder path to the '/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.ht ml)
(3) use the Mac OS X Snow Leopard USD$29 disc to boot my Mac up
(4) delete the 'Michaels_Home' partition (I had 3 partitions: (1) Macintosh HD (2) Michaels_Home (3) Windows XP Professional)
(5) resize the 'Macintosh HD' partition
(6) boot from Macintosh HD
(7) find that there's a problem about X11
_The problem:_
it takes a *long time* for X11 to start.
When I try to open the 'X11.app', the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens.
Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just the X11 icon on the dock.
What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the app isn't running at the moment.
I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not responding'.
So, I open the *Activity Monitor*, and I can see there are 3 apps related to X11 are running:
(1) X11
(2) X11.bin
(3) xauth
*At the moment now, if you would wait for about 1.5 min., X11 will open.*
Please see below for the system log (from 'FREEZING' to 'WORKING')

So what actually causes this problem?
Thanks in advance!

It turns out that there's something wrong about permissions.
Here's the fix:
(1) log in as the +root user+
(2) type +chown -R Michael:staff ~Michael+
(3) log out the +root user+
(4) log in your account
(5) done!
Hope this thread will help those who encounter the same problem as me!

Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS
