My imac slow to startup running osx lion

I've recently upgraded to OSX Lion and now it takes at least 4 minutes for my system to load. It recognises the trackpad and keyboard but it won't allow me to scroll, move or select anything on the screen even though both Bluetooth devices are discoverable and working.
When it does load it works perfectly.
I've tried to reinstall lion (that didn't work - error message) and the usual help instructions. but when i try and reboot and use the Command R it does nothing!
I can't even revert to the previous OSX
please help!!

Log details: sorry its long...couldn't see many duplicate messages...hope you can help

    No. An iMac must be 7,1 or higher.

  • HT201178 With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will there be support for a late 2006 iMac  (currently running OSX Lion

    With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?

    Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
    The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
    Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware.

  • I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it.  However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.

    I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it.  However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.  
    Yesterday I opened up the iMac and reinstalled the drive to make sure that it was not an alignment problem.   I still can not eject.   When I try to eject the drive makes noises like it is ejecting but the disk does not come out.
    How do I solve this problem?

    Hi again Hal
    Link to your other thread > The slot loading CD/DVD drive in my...: Apple Support Communities
    You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
    See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.

  • Problems running OSX Lion

    I bought a 13"macbook pro running OSX lion 10.7.3 with 2.4 ghz i5 & intel hd 3000 in the ending 0f 2011.I am completely new to Mac.
    1)Last time when i tried to start my laptop. it freezed in the start up screen with speening wheel over half an hour.so i restarted it pressing Shift to open disk utility.after repairing & verifying disk,it started normally.But it started to show numerous notifications like-
      Insecure Startup Item disabled.
                          “/Library/StartupItems/BRESINKx86Monitoring” has
                          not been started because it does not have the proper
                          security settings.
    2)i had this problem more than one time when installing new applications. It says-
                                                          System extension cannot be used
                                               The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/
                                                CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext"was installed
                                                improperly and cannot be used.Please try
                                                reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an
                                                update.
    OK
    This time after the first notification i started Onyx & excuted for Automotion. It started normally it freezed with progress bar written with 'Deleting misc it
    ems...' for more than two hour. somthing must be wrong so i force quitted it.Then the second message showed up & after entering 'ok' each time the last massage continued to come up with other kext files--
    “/System/Library/Extensions/KLog.kext”
    “/System/Library/Extensions/prl_hid_hook.kext”
    “/System/Library/Extensions/prl_hypervisor.kext”

    3)Also another problem remains, although i tried multiple times to take "MacBookPro2011EFIUp2.7" through software update; it takes the update,installs it,but  after automatic restart no grey screen appears showing progress bar etc. etc. as told in the update. the funny thing is every next time i open it shows that update again.Which means it's not installed at all. i checked whether it's an appropriate update for mine model,but its alright. Can anybody please help me?
    For your convenience-my 500 GB hard drive is almost full(~40 GB remaining) & i have only one partition. Would it be better if i create a different partition on it with OSX ;keep it 50% free all time & keep all other things in the other partition?
    Kindly let me know if there  is any other solution without reinstalling lion cause i don't have a network connection which can be of over ~1.5MB downlink speed.

    I suspect this is the cause of your problem, your downloads didn't complete correctly.
    Your going to have to take the machine to a very fast and reliable Internet connection +5Mb p/s download speeds all to yourself and perform a #18 Reinstall Just OS X
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Them from there you check on the other fixes, wait for updates for your third party software to work etc.

    I have an IMAC and I'm running OSX 10.9.2.  I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.  In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.  Is this possible? Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?

    I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
    That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
    In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
    Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
    You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
    Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
    No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
    BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
    Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
    Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
    Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    No external monitors or devices attached. When you mention that this function only works when devices are attached that is true when you set up your preferences that way. Up until my upgrade to Lion the computer would always go into sleep mode when I closed the lid. There also used to be an option to check in system preferences that allowed you to choose this option. My question for the discussion is what happened to that option and how do you get the computer to sleep or at least the display to sleep when you close the lid as we have been able to do in the past. Thanks.

    Move the PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.
    Quit Safari, empty the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.  You should be able to view PDF files now.

    please can anbody help or advise?

    You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor.  This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow.  What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
    Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer.  The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
    Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
    Printing Your Images
    There is also a good appendix on calibration:
