  • MacBook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start with ML ?

    My Macbook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start. I press Start and it takes more than 10 minutes before I can enter my password. Need your help !

    Sounds like time for a PRAM reset. Here's how:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    ‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as normal.

  • After Restoring My Mac Book Pro it takes over 3-5 minutes to start!

    I have a macbook pro version 10.6.5 it recently crashed and I restored it with my time share backup and now it takes a good 5 minutes to start up and is very slow in opening safari pages. What can I do to get it back to running on normal speed?

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

    And check System Preferences > Accounts / Login Items. Delete any apps you have listed there to launch when you startup your Mac.

  • It takes 5 to 10 minutes to start the i-tunes program

    It takes 5 to 10 minutes for i-tunes to start from my desktop. I have windows XP. I installed the latest version of i-tunes but that did not help. After the i-tunes program starts it runs normally with no speed problems. I have over 4,000 songs loaded into i-tunes. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Premiere Pro CS5 takes up to 40 minutes to start up

    Hi everybody,
    I am having issues with our copy of Premiere Pro CS5 - as I mentioned above, it can take up to 40 minutes, or longer, for it to create a new or load a previous project. I work at a school and we have a computer lab with 30 iMacs, running OS X 10.6.5, with the Adobe CS5 Master Collection installed on all of them. We also have a Mac server (Mac Mini) that runs Open Directory, which is used for authentication.
    The issue only occurs when a networked user logs on - when I log in with a local user account, everything runs fine. I know this has to be some kind of permissions issue, I just do not know exactly what to look for, as I am a bit of a noob when it comes to Adobe, or Apple products, for that matter. I have been looking for a solution for quite a while - I reinstalled Premiere, Googled, and looked on the forums, all with no luck. I found similar posts, but they were not exactly like mine. I would really appreciate any help that I can get on this matter. Thank you.
    Regards,
    Nikita
    P.S: the firewall is off on all of the computers.

    >What makes Premiere different
    Todd or another employee may be able to give a technical answer
    As a user who has been reading in the Premiere forums going back to 2002 and Premiere 6x I will only say that everything I have ever read, in a discussion like this, is that all versions of Premiere are designed to be run by one user on one computer... with local, not network, settings... so the program may be "tuned" to do the best possible job for that one user
    This is simply a design decision that has never been changed... the product is simply not designed to do what you want
    I am sure there is video editing software written to be multi-user and/or network operated... but I don't have any idea what that might be (if you want Hollywood studio team editing functionality, you'll have to pay Hollywood studio prices)

  • SATELLITE M35X-S111 takes 6 to 30 minutes to start

    HI,
    I HAVE A  LAPTOP. WHEN I WAIT LONG ENOUGH (FROM 6 TO 30 MINUTES) FOR IT TO TURN ON, IT WORKS PERFECT. I PUSH THE ON BUTTON AND IT TURNS GREEN THE FANS COME ON FOR ABOUT 6 SECONDS AND TURN OFF. THEN I WAIT FROM 6 TO 30 MINUTES AND IT STARTS AND RUNS PERFECT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE FROM; BATTERIES OK, CHARGER VOLTAGE 18.48 VOLTS, SWITCH RAM MEMORY AROUND, SWITCHED POWER THEME OPTIONS (STAND BY, HIBERNATION ETC. ETC.). WHEN COMPUTER IS RUNNING I CAN DO A RESTART AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. I'VE TALKED TO 3 COMPUTER REPAIR COMPANY AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE OTHER THAN POSSIBLY A COMPASSITER IN THE MOTHER BOARD. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
    THANKS,
    BILL

    1. What happens when you start in Safe Mode (the first option)? (You won't be able to reach the internet in Safe Mode.)
    2. What happens when you log into another account? Create one, if necessary.

  • Im using a Macbook Pro, running a Mac OS 10.6.8, with 400GB  free of space and it is running slow. It takes 10 minutes to start up and things like that. What should I do?

    Im using a Macbook Pro, running a Mac OS 10.6.8, with 400GB  free of space and it is running slow. It takes more than 15 minutes to start up and things like that. I cant seem to do anything as it is so slow. The 'beachball of death' is also present during start up. What should I do? Please help

    Try these two steps first. 
    Get the Original Installation disk and boot the MBP holding down the C key.  When you get to the point where you see a menu bar on the top of the display, select UTILITIES.  From the drop down menu select DISK UTILITY>FIRST AID.  Run verify and repair.
    See if there is any improvement.
    Try a Safe Boot:

  • Lexmark C544DN network attached printer takes minutes to start printing job

    I recently purchased a macbook pro 13" i am moving from a windows 7 environment. My network attached Lexmark C544DN takes up to 2 minutes to start printing the print job, it did not act this way under windows. I have gotten the latest firmware and drivers for the printer, from the Lexmark website, in attempt to figure out the problem. My network hub- router is an airport extreme. I have noticed that at times when surfing the internet safari pauses when loading the page, this appears to be random not associated with certain websites. Not sure if the two are related but since both are using network protocols one may have to do with the other.
    I am looking for things to look into that may cause such a problem and how to look into them as I am fairly computer savvy but my experience with the Mac OS X 10.6.5 is limited to going on two weeks now.
    I should probably mention that the Mac network is solo not a hybrid with windows and mac together.
    Thanks for any advice that can be given on this problem.

    I am sorry, you are still on the consumer forums. To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet. Just click on the New Post button.
    I hope this helps.
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

  • When I connect to the hotel wireless, it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected to the login page

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with my Firefox 4 beta: when I connect to the hotel wireless, and I start the browser, I should be automatically redirected to the hotel's main login page.
    In FF4b I get 2 error messages (attached) and I am not redirected immediately... it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected.
    If I don't want to wait I have to start IE, make the login, and then get back to FF4b.
    I believe this situation is connected with the "Test Pilot" and/or the "sync" function of FF...
    Any ideas about what I should do? Any setting I should change?
    Thanks,
    Tozé

  • I have down loaded itunes (windows) on my desk top and when i click on the icon it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the program to open.  also the program does not open when i connect my iphone.  Help!

    Why does it take 4 to 5 minutes for my itunes program to open?  it also frequently freezes while i am trying to work with it.  it won't open when i connect my iphone?  this is on my desk top with Windows 7.

    Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
    If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
    Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

  • Iphoto takes at least 10 minutes to open

    This is really dumb. I have 5000 photos and it takes more than 10 minutes to open Iphoto. I wanted to show some pictures this weekend and I was embarrassed to tell my sister that it would take like 15 minutes to open them. I would only expect this nonsense on a windows machine. Doesn't someone have a answer?

    Do you have Windows installed via Bootcamp? Try unmounting that partition. The problem is caused by Spotlight trying to index it.

  • I have dual boot labs that I set up up for a school.  The Partitions consist of mountain lion and windows 7.  I use bootlicker as the software for selecting the operating systems.  When I choose windows, it takes just under 2 minutes to go to the login sc

    I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school.  The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent.  I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup.  When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen.  It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows. 
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
    Thanks for any ideas/input

    The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
    But
    It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
    And you never answered this question.
    Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

  • I upgraded to Mtn. Lion last night but now it takes forever to boot up.  I get to the desktop and my wallpaper is there, but the items on my desktop take more than 5 minutes to load.  It's a ridiculously long time.  Can I fix it somehow?

    As I said, I upgraded my MacBook Pro (2011) from Lion to Mountain Lion last night.  This morning I couldn't get it to boot up at all.  The beach ball just spun and spun.  Now I can get it to my desktop and can see my wallpaper, but it takes another FULL five minutes to finish loading my desktop items.  Can I do anything to speed this up?  It's a ridiculously long time to wait.  I haven't even tried opening any applications yet.

  • I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why?

    I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why the iTunes Scripting Brigde returned failed when it is actually success? It occurred exactly 2 minutes after submit the request to Scripting Brigde. Is this 2 minutes related to the Apple Event time out? if it does, how do I get around this problem? thx

    I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account?  I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.
