New Mini Startup Time
Just got a new Mini w/i7. Overall performance is great, but I'm concerned about the start up time; takes about 90 seconds from power on to log in screen. This is my first experience with Mountain Lion; my older Macbook will only run Snow Leopard but takes only about 30-40 seconds to startup.
Suggestions, please.
Thanks in advance,
JD
My new Mini goes from chime to desktop in about 10 seconds. But I have Apple's 1tb Fusion Drive in mine, and the entire startup sequence basically runs off the SSD portion of the Fusion Drive, which is very, very fast.
If you don't have an SSD or a Fusion Drive, then the internal drive you got from Apple is a quite slow 5400rpm. That probably accounts for the difference in startup times you're experiencing. And that's why I got the Fusion Drive in mine; I wasn't going to tolerate a 5400rpm hard drive in a desktop computer. (Although the HDD portion of the Fusion Drive is only 5400rpm, the SSD portion makes that mostly a non-issue.)

The Time Machine in my old Mini and new Mini is different
In my earlier Mac Mini, I could use the internal drive for the backup, which was great. However, when I setup the Time Machine for the new Mini, it insists on me setting up an external drive. So I can't use the internal drive for backups any more?
Thanks
SteveTo clarify, this all happened under Snow Leopard as I had said. My profile lists Tiger, since I haven't cared to update my personal profile since using that OS, and in fact I still use Tiger among other versions. I manage a lot of users. And I never got to upgrade to Mountain Lion on this system, as explained in the post above. So I don't see the confusion.
I don't think the model of Mac makes a difference for this type of problem, but in case it does, the incident was on a 2010 Intel iMac with a 4TB hard drive and 8GB of RAM. I would have mentioned that if this was a problem with hardware specific to the model of Mac. But this is more of a universal issue.
But to stay on topic, I'm guessing my old backups are toast. But if anybody has any experience with recovering from Time Machine deleting their old backups, I would be happy to hear from them. In the meantime, I am going to try to do some old fashioned file recovery, and see what I can salvage. -

Create a new column - convert minutes(mins) to time (HH: MM) in a day-OBIEE
Hi..
I have an issue in building the OBIEE repositoryin Administration tool.
I have a column of minutes (24hrs X 60 = 1440 mins in a day) as its values.
I need to build a column of Time ( convert minutes into time) using existing column of minutes.
Say 300 mins = 5:00AM (since -------> (60 X 5 =300))
315 mins = 5:15 AM
330mins = 5:30 AM
360mins = 6:00 AM.......so on in a day.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Edited by: user11939829 on Aug 11, 2010 9:00 AMHi,
In Admin Tools, if you want to create a new colume as time(HH:MM), you can do it like this:
1. in "Business Model and Mapping", in the table which you want, create a logical column "Time"
2. Check the checkbox "Use exist logical column as the source"
3. In the expression builder, write the formula to convert minutes to time, like:
concat(concat(cast (minutes/60 as varchar(2)) , ':'), cast(mod(minutes,60) as varchar(2)))
Hope this helps you

New ipad mini face time issue"unable to verify email because already in use"
My daughter had to get a new iPad mini because her battery went out. Now when she tries to face time with the new mini it says "unable to verify email because already in use". Any suggestions on how to correct without having to create. New email address? I'm a novice Apple user. Thanks for the help headed on a 3 week trip and want to be able to FaceTime with family back home.
Hi there,
It sounds like you may have more than one Apple ID that shares the same email address. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information on how to get this resolved.

Slow system and application startup times
Hi,
I've got a 17" Macook Pro (Early 2011) 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 - ever since I bought it I feel like it runs a little slow.
I've been a long-time mac used but I feel a little disappointed with this machine.
e.g.: Startup time takes around 4 minutes.
Applications take around 10 seconds to start.
Chrome sometimes takes 5-10 seconds to start, about the same to quit.
My Xbench scores fluctuate wildly - best I've ever got is 220, worst is 18. 160 is about the average.

I feel that tried everything including:
- Creating a new user
- Repairing disk permissions
- DIsk verify and repair
- Removing all startup items
- Installing extra ram (currently at 8GB)
It runs well most of the time but frustratingly slow sometimes and there doesn't seem to be any anomalous activity in activity monitor. I feel that it could be the hard disk, but don't know (I always have 250-350gb free).
Any help appreciated!Thanks for the link. I've never seen that page before but I have done everything in that list.
It's not a spinning beachball issue - the system doesn't lock-up often it just takes a **** long time to do some things. I didn't really realise it as a problem until I started using other people's older/lower spec'ed macs and noticed that they run FASTER than mine.

Even using Skitch to take those screenshots took ages.
It's almost like the disk or CPU is throttled back or bottlenecked, and always has been... -
Macbook Pro: long startup time / very slow in general
Hello everyone,
I purchased a Macbook Pro 15” in the summer of 2010 before going to university.
The startup time has become ridiculously slow. Even opening a web browser is stressful.
I have now completed my studies and I am pretty sure I have uninstalled all the large software I had installed for my degree and deleted majority of my
document/files however the startup time has not improved.
I have been looking through threads discussing Factory resets?
My Mac did not come with a disk (Snow Leopard originally installed). I simply turned the thing on and it was ready to go.
If I was to reset my Mac to factory settings would I need to purchase a disk? Is there something else that I could do instead?
The problem seemed to materialise when I upgraded to “OS X Mavericks”.
The only software I want to keep on my Mac is Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
I have transferred all the documents I wish to keep to another computer so I do not mind losing everything currently on my Mac.
Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksDo you know what the original disks were? Were they snow Leopard, higher than 10.6.3, they are most likely builld specific.
I can not guarantee that it will speed it up, but if your HD was pretty full 50%+ as well as your caches, it should clear a lot of stuff off the machine that can slow it down. It will probably take a couple hours to go thru this, give or take.
How much of your HD is used, I keep mine at about 20% to help keep it faster, (less stuff to search)
If it is just the speed you are concerned with I will send you some links in regards to that. I answered that you wanted to go back to "New machine" settings, hence my reply.

Maybe something here will offer help. The reason for repairing the disk and permissions, etc... is that smetimes the disk gets errors, which the mackine hen has to work around, if it can. Hvaeing your disk much past 50% will slow it down, having caches that have not been emptied and are full of junk can slow it down. Try going to Safari menu clicking reset Safari, empty cache, also go to Safari Preferences/Privacy tab click "remove all website data.
This would be a start. read thru the links, or do a tottal wipe and install.
I hope this has helped you in some way. -
I'm sure this is already out there, but I'm not even sure how to phrase my question.
Sooo.... I have a new mini. 2.3Ghz Intel Core i5 running Lion, 10.7.3. I was pleased to see that upon startup the first time, there was an option to use a Time Machine backup to "restore" my old system to my new one. Man, what a mess. The new mini will not continue to backup to the Backup that it was "restored" from, Adobe CS4 won't start up (Error Code 150:30).... I'm sad. I"m in the printing field and have been a faithful mac user since my first IIci and I'm sad. Can you guys offer some help or am I destined to computing on my iPhone...? Thanks all.Setup Assistant launches automatically the first time you start up a new system, so you did use it. The "inherit" prompt appears not then, but the first time you back up.

Okay I give up - wicked slow startup time
I've been reading every post I could find related to slow startup times, and trying every conceivable solution others have thought of and that I could think of, and I'm still plagued by a slow startup time!
Last week it was not a problem. I had just created a 10GB partition and installed Windows XP on it. Things were running smoothly. My startup times weren't like 20 seconds, but they weren't as bad as they are now (a consistent 3.5-4 minutes). Maybe it would take a minute to a minute and a half to start. Then suddenly over the weekend, it started taking 5+ minutes to boot! What could have happened?
I panicked and erased the Windows partition, backed up to Time Machine (suspecting possible disk failure in my future), and started doing every maintenance thing I know to do (fsck-which returned no errors, permissions repair, reset nv-ram and p-ram, OnyX maintenance scripts). This got it back down to where it is now, a consistent 3.5 minutes. That's still much slower than it should be.
Below is everything the Console says immediately after booting. Thanks so much for anything anyone can do to help!

Average startup time for 2012 MBP with ML?
I recently bought a brand new 13" mbp (i5 2.5ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb 5400rpm). After installing some apps and updating mountian lion from 10.8 to 10.8.2, startup is much slower now and takes around 45 sec (time period from powering on the mbp to login screen). Also apps are launching slower now. Startup was taking less than its half before updating the mac os. Is there any way to improve the startup time? What is an average boot time for similar mbp?
I ordered mine on May 17, it was shipped from the factory May 24 (China) and delivered to my door the morning of May 25 (time zones and a date line account for the fast enroute time. I ordered the 7200rpm drive, 2gb RAM & glossy screen.
So far, absolutely no problems, the unit works perfectly. -
Migration woes (mail in particular) PPC iMac w/ 10.3.9 to new Mini w/10.5.4
Me: mac user for 20 years.. web master, and unix not-quite-guru .. so don't be shy and no need to use small words in suggesting a remedy.. at this point I'll hexedit raw HD sectors if I have to...
Mother has an aging iMac, Power PC, one of the "lamp" style.. which has only a CDRW drive, so w got her a new Intel Mac Mini for xmas.
Brought a Firewire cable along and figured Migration Asst would do the job, read a few web pages about it last week in preparation, or so I thought.
Booted her new Mini and opted to transfer data from another Mac... as directed, I rebooted the old iMac with T and saw the Firewire symbol dance around its screen.. I believe at some point it settled into the center and stopped moving.
The new Mini would not recognize it.. giving an error message along the lines of "there are no OS X volumes".. which is patently untrue since she is running 10.3.9 on the iMac (there is an old 9.2.2 System folder there too). 10.3.9 was selected as the "blessed" Startup folder.
So I saw the ethernet option and thought "aha, we'll skin this cat that way instead".. connected the ethernet cable and got the helpful instruction to insert the Install Disc #1 and copy Setup Asst over to the old iMac and then enter a 6? digit code to authenticate.. ok, nice idea, except the install disc is a DVD (dual layer at that I think) and the old iMac can't read DVD (smack some co-op at Apple for not considering that).. even worse, despite 15 minutes of searching I could not simply find this application anywhere on the Apple site for download directly to the old iMac....
so abandoning those ideas, I found a knowledgebase article about migrating manually.. so I continued the new user acct setup on the Mini and got that finished.. then launched the migration asst on the new Mini (from the Utilities folder) and it took quite a while, but finally the HD in the iMac appeared (the old iMac has one and only one drive, the original internal one).
So I copied her photos, music, addr book, ical, mail, bookmarks, keychains, etc info over.. and per the KB I copied the mail plist file from prefs.. the KB says that is all I would need and Mail "will do the rest"...
Not so much... I can see her saved mail folders on the new Mini.. .and I can see in Finder and in Terminal that they should contain old mail (~50 MB worth, these folders exist and are very non-empty).... but inside Mail, no messages appear at all, nor her Inbox (ie. mail she had downloaded already on the old iMac, but not yet saved to a folder, nor deleted)
I am totally at wits end.. ideas?So in the end, I erased all the Mail I copied over originally, and the prefs file, and started a new acct with her info and imported all her old mailboxes (having saved her old Inbox to a "savedinbox" mailbox, in case Inbox importing didn't work).
Gotta say, couldn't have been more disappointed with the Migration Assistant, which in the end did not a bloody thing for the transition. Thankfully her usage of the old iMac was simple and not that many files... one would think it would be the easy and ideal case for Migration assistant to handle.
I'm marking this as answered only b/c I'm not going back to do this again.. she is up and working and I won't know if any proposed solution actually works. -
i have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?
Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive. -
IMac with SSD and Hard drive very slow startup time
I have a new mid 2011 iMac with a 250gb SSD drive and a 2TB drive. All are from Apple as BTO options. When I first used the iMac my typical startup time from the hardware check chime to desktop was typically 12 seconds. Something, somehow has been changed because now it takes over one minute to boot up from the SSD. After the chime I hear the fans running and also the 2tb drive. After about 20 seconds I hear the hard drive spin down and then after another 20 seconds it starts up again. Once it starts up the boot up sequences contiunes and returns to the desktop. After this the iMac perfprms as normal. I have tried running disk utility from the recovery partition. I have also reinstalled Lion as well from the recovery partition and neither of these change the outcome.
When I first got the iMac I used time machine to restore from a previous machine into the 2tb partition and then went into advanced options in System preferences>Users&Groups to point to my home folder on the 2Tb drive rather than the default one on the SSD. That was working fine until I discovered software problems with both Preview and Textedit where they would not start up with this arangement. I then repointed my home folder to the default one on the SSD which cured this issue with these programmes leaving my data remaining on the 2Tb drive. Since doing this I have had the one minute boot up problem.
Can anyone offer any advice as to how I may overcome this problem and get my iMac back to starting up in twelve seconds from the SSD as it did before. Any help would be appreciated on this topic.
Thanks.Where do you maintain your Home folder - on the SSD or on the HDD?
If you want to do a clean install (from scratch) then do the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Before you go to the extreme of the above would you do this:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Just in case your system slowness is due to something eating up CPU time. Oh, and if your system is brand new check the upper right corner of the menubar for a "dot" inside the Spotlight glass. This means Spotlight is indexing the drive. Until it finishes your system will be quite sluggish. -
IT is so frustrating,because I cannot go further without being connected to iTunes..it's a brand new mini IPad, and I gave the network and then the iTunes thing to press to connect disappeared...HELP!
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
