MAcbook takes too long to boot

From one day to another our macbook takes too long to boot. The problem is since we push the power button until the first grey apple shows up, it can take up to 30 seconds. Since the apple shows up it boot in a few seconds. All the process up to 1.20 minutes.

Also... once you are in OS X, go to System Preferences and Startup Disk. Make sure your OS X volume is selected. Sometimes this can change causing your system to look for another startup disk... and it needs to "time out" before it moves on to the next. This is most common after removing a BootCamp installation of Windows... but can happen for any number of reasons.

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?

What happens when you boot as follows?
1. Boot into Safe Mode. See Advanced startup options (including safe mode).
2. Boot normally into another user account. If necessary, create one.

Hello
For new spare parts you should contact the nearest ASP. The technicians can order all Toshiba parts and exchange it for you. On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an authorized service provider
Do you have experience how to disassemble a notebook? If yes you can look on eBay for a second hand mainboard. This should be cheaper as a new one and if you have experience with notebooks you can exchange it yourself.

My Toshiba satellite takes too long to boot up

I bought a Toshiba satellite C855D-S5238 a little over a month ago, and now it when it gets to the part of the boot up where it should show were to input my password it takes about 5 minutes to show up. However when I boot up in safe mode it is just about instant.

Satellite C855D-S5238
Since the system is brand new, Jonathan, I would probably return the hard disk to factory new. If there are still troubles, you know that software does not cause them. See the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide.
   Satellite/Satellite Pro C800 Series User’s Guide
when I boot up in safe mode it is just about instant.
If you prefer to start troubleshooting, see what happens when you boot clean.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe).
   2. On the General tab, click Selective startup and clear the Load startup items check box.
   3. On the Services tab, click the Hide all Microsoft services check box and click Disable all.
   4. OK out and restart the computer.

Why does my MacBook take too long to turn on?

I have a MacBook, the 2008 version, and whenever I turn my MacBook on, an empty gray line appears. When the line is completely filled, it starts to turn on like how it should be. Sometimes, I just put my MacBook to sleep to avoid waiting. Waiting takes more than 3 minutes. By the way, I updated my MacBook to OS X Lion. Is there a reason behind this or any ways to fix this situation. Thank you in advance for reading this!

Remove any items in System Preferrences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac.
If it's not a startup item causing the slow startup, the startup disk may need repairing.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities in the recovery system.

How slow? Make sure that you have your disk selected as the startup disk in System Preferences>Startup Disk.
There are a couple of other things you could try if this doesn't work...

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.

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

[SOLVED] initramfs takes too long to load

Using systemd-analyze I found out that initramfs takes too long to load:
463ms (kernel) + 11875ms (initramfs) + 6014ms (userspace) = 18353ms
My HOOKS array in mkinitcpio.conf is the following:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems usbinput fsck"
I suspect that the long loading time of initramfs is caused by partitions decryption (I am using dm-crypt / LUKS on top of LVM).
Is there any tool that can report loading times of HOOKS seperately, just like systemd-analyze plot does for userspace?

In what sense is it "too long"?
I'm just wondering: suppose that you find out that it is because you are using encryption. Would you then switch to a non-encrypted system? Would you make better use of the extra seconds you might save on those rare occasions when you reboot? Even if you reboot twice a day, you might save what? Suppose you would even save 5s per boot. That will give you a whole extra 1 minute and 10 seconds a week. Assuming you don't multitask. Obviously if you multitask, the gain will be less. Would that make it worth risking the security of your data?
EDIT: I didn't mean this to sound as confrontational as it does now I read it back. It just always puzzles me that people are so concerned about shaving a few milliseconds here and there. I always hope that they put the time they save to good use but then I realise that the time they spent shaving the milliseconds off will obviously outstrip the time saved.
I really don't care about the boot time because of the reasons you have already mentioned. I just want to figure out if there is any misconfiguration. I am just investigating why initramfs takes significant longer to load compared with my desktop Arch installation (non-encrypted) 1316ms for initramfs. My desktop has a Pentium 4 CPU and laptop has a quad-core i7.

systemd-analyze is not counting the time is spent to type the password.

Accessing BKPF table takes too long

Hi,
Is there another way to have a faster and more optimized sql query that will access the table BKPF? Or other smaller tables that contain the same data?
I'm using this:
   select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart
   into corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
   from bkpf
   where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
   and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
   and blart in so_DocTypes
   and monat in so_monat.
The report is taking too long and is eating up a lot of resources.
Any helpful advice is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi max,
I also tried using BUDAT in the where clause of my sql statement, but even that takes too long.
    select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart monat
     appending corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
     from bkpf
     where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
     and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
     and blart in so_DocTypes
     and budat in so_budat.
I also tried accessing the table per day, but it didn't worked too...
   while so_budat-low le so_budat-high.
     select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart monat
     appending corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
     from bkpf
     where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
     and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
     and blart in so_DocTypes
     and budat eq so_budat-low.
     so_budat-low = so_budat-low + 1.
   endwhile.
I think our BKPF tables contains a very large set of data. Is there any other table besides BKPF where we could get all accounting document numbers in a given period?
