Nomad Jukebox 3 extremely slow in boot-

My Nomad Jukebox 3 (20 GB) is extremely slow in booting up.
Since I had it connected to my laptop to clean up some of the Mp3's and making a new playlist, I'm having trouble getting the jukebox to start.
Booting time is now 8 minutes! The screen is locked up at the EAX splash screen all the time during booting. (booting up from standby mode is OK, but standby mode is gone after some 5 minutes)
What I tried yet:
a reset
removing the batteries
in the rescue mode:
Disc clean up
Reload OS (Old firmware was .32, its now reloaded with firmware version .40.06p)
and a reboot
All to no avail.
I have about 3000 songs on it (2 GB's).
The only thing I have not tried yet is a reformat, would that do the job?

It did it allright!Formatted the disc and it is booting OK again!(however I'm still very curious about the remaining lifetime of the disc)
I am now loading the Jukebox with my favourites and, until now, its behaving like new (after a minor hiccup).
Thanks for the suggestions!

HT6114 MAC Air slow to boot after 10.9.2 update.

I have a 2011 MAC Air. After the 10.9.2 upgrade my laptop takes about 20 minutes to boot from power off. Once started it works fine, it is just extremely slow to boot. Prior to the update I could boot in about 10 seconds. Any thoughts how to resolve this issue?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Mac Pro (Late 2013) LAG & Extremely Slow

Hi All

Macbook slow to boot, slow to work - Spotlight Problem? (External HD)

Hi everyone,
I have a Macbook from 2008 (The first aluminum model I believe, before they got rebranded as Pro). Recently I wanted to backup my pictures from iPhoto and I had an external HD formatted as exFAT. The moment I plugged my external HD in, my macbook started lagging real badly with the color wheel not going away. So I just held the power button until it restarted.
When it rebooted, it was first of all EXTREMELY slow to boot, and then once I logged in to my admin account, I could barely do anything. I tried my one other account on the computer and it was the same story. I noticed that Spotlight was not working, and when I clicked it ( and after 5 minutes it finally popped up), it said indexing, and it would never stop. I restarted a few times and it never stops indexing. From what I gather in Google searches, my macbook tried to index the hard drive when it was plugged in and somehow got stuck in this loop.
I read a few sites on how to disable spotlight completely, but the problem is that the computer is way too slow and unresponsive to do anything of the sort. Terminal can be opened but the commands won't execute. I tried holding shift to start the Mac in safe mode, but the bar moves half an inch and then I just get the little lines around the circle going forever with no bar progress.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. I cannot afford to lose these photos, that is my number one concern. There are MANY documents that I need on the HD too, but the pictures are more important. Please give me some advice, while keeping in mind that my data is my primary concern, a reformat is out of the question.
Thanks kindly,
Z
PS: Not sure what Mac version I am, but I was updated to Snow Leopard and I always let the auto-updater do its thing. Don't even bother asking for activity monitor, way too laggy to open that (I tried, it opens but you can't click anything).

Here's a terminal command: sudo mdutil -i on /
This works well =) This will help spotlight

Hp pavilion a6130n very slow to boot up or restart

hp a6130n is extremely slow to boot or restart after updates. I tried to install sp37530 to reset bios as advised at other sites, but keep getting the "system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled 9996." I checked the memory to see if that is the problem, disconnected the card reader etc., but am still having the same issues. How do I get the bios update to run? Am using vista home premium sp2.....HELP!!!!

Alfred, welcome to the forum.
I suggest doing a System Recovery using the Recovery discs. This will not only solve your problem, but will increase system performance.
For future reference, it is always good to install only one update at a time. This way if there is a problem you can always delete it and start over. It sounds like you may have a driver conflict.

My imac has become extremely slow

Hi, I have a 4 year old 27 inch imac, running 10.10.3; it has become extremely slow to boot up, to open apps and to get online. I'm a fairly heavy user of dropbox, and I am wondering if that is the issue -- other than that I run very run of the mill apps -- itunes, word/ppt/excel/, ical, imessage, firefox and safari, adobi acrobat, some use of iphoto. Suggestions?

Hi Old Toad -- this is what I got on Etrecheck:
Problem description:
iMac is running very slow, especially when opening apps, and esp. when opening browsers. (And within browser — e.g., gmail v. slow).

Help! MacBook Pro only boots in Safe Mode and runs extremely slow (bonus: happened in Brazil and there are no Apple stores here - I need you guys!)

It's a MBP mid 2010. Last year it had some problems and an Apple authorised shop changed the HD and upgraded the OS from Snow Leopard to Lion. After that it seemed fine. Recently it started getting very slow and apps (e.g. Chrome, Flash) would crash. At some point it seemed stuck so I gave it a hard shutdown - bad idea. After that it would only boot in Safe Mode. I ran repar disk and repair permissions from the Disk Utility and it booted normally again but extremely slow. I upgraded to OS X 10.8.2, but didn't solve it. I tried booting with Command D to have a hardware diagnostic - it wouldn't boot and now it only boots in Safe Mode.
All data is backed and I have an external HD (but not an OS X Disc). Ready to anything. Help please!

Also you can perform #1 and #2 as these occur before Safe Mode, so you just reboot again with Shift key if you need to enter Safe Mode again.
At this point it sounds like your hard drive is dying or some sort of other hardware issue which I can only advise this.
Try to install OS X on a external drive and boot from it, if it's fine then you know your internal boot drive is dying.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
You can replace your internal drive yourself.
OtherWorld Computing is pretty good about providing drives and tool kits to perform that function yourself.

Extremely slow boot time on fresh install (Cinnamon + GDM)

Hi,
I have a fresh installation of Arch with Cinnamon + GDM taking about 2 minutes and 30 seconds (observed manually) from Grub menu to loading of desktop in usable condition.
It's installed on external USB drive. Although the hardware is old but rebooted within 15 seconds in VM on internal HD drive with same Cinnamon and SDDM.
Details are:
#1. Hardware info:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ x 2
Memory 2.7 GB
Hard drive 149.4 GB
GPU : nVidia Corp; GT 218 [GeForce 210]
USB wi-fi card

Problems:
a) Delay during loading of kernel modules,
b) Extreme delay in loading of display manager for login, and
c) Delay in loading of desktop.
I followed these guides:

#5. Important observation:
hdparm -t reports 13.54 mb /sec reads for the external drive I am using for this installation. I don't face lag or slowness after boot including another distro installed on this drive had this problem.
Please help in further analyzing and fixing this problem.
Thanks!

How fast does it boot to a tty? Disable gdm and boot to a tty. See if that is any faster than starting gdm. Gdm takes a while to start up if I run it on my computer and I have an SSD. But it will add several seconds to my boot time which from systemd-analyze is 9 seconds.
So, boot to a tty and use startx to start the session and see if it's any faster. 13MB/s seems like a pretty tight bottleneck for starting big applications like gdm and a desktop environment. I run a pretty simple openbox setup as my environment and it only uses 150 MB of memory after I startx. But if I could only load 13 MB /s from memory it would add another 11 seconds to the time it took me to startx.
So see how fast you can boot, and then see how fast you can load your desktop using startx. When I booted an install media of arch on an old computer with usb2 it took about 10 minutes to get everything going.

Nomad JukeBox Boot Probl

My Mother's Nomad JukeBox Is Malfunctioning, I'm Not Sure Why, Its About 3-4 Years Old, The Hard Dri've Is Fine. I've Checked It. When It Boots Up It Stays At The "Preparing Library" Screen, It Stays There For As Long As It Has Power, And Never Changes. What Do I Do, I Hope Someone Out There Knows. We Can't Afford T Just Get A Newer Model. Or We Would.
Please Help,
Thank You

Have you tried the Rescue Mode options such as Clean Up and Format? See the sticky thread for the details.
My JB is still going strong, though it has its 2nd 20GB hard dri've in it now! Both the 6GB and the previous 20GB were still working though I sometimes got transfer errors with the first 20GB which is why I changed it again.

Nomad Jukebox will not boot

Ok here is the deal, I ran out of memory while recording the other night no big deal it happened one other time and booted back up with no problem.
But this time I had no batteries in it so it gave me the message about it wont save playlist or something.
I went to upload the stuff I recorded on the PC and it just goes forever in the preparing library mode... I tried the diagnostic test and it just goes and goes.
I really dont want to reformat because there are some songs on there I know I will never be able to get back or record again.
Any suggestions?

Make absolutely sure you are following the correct procedure, and following it exactly. The method for the Nomad Jukebox is different to other players.
If you can't get into Rescue Mode the player is faulty.

Extremely slow boot. How to get rid of white screen in Windows only boot.

Hey guys I have a Windows 7 only MacBookPro 17". 2.8ghz core 2 duo, 4 gig of ram, 7200 rpm 500gb hd(passes s.m.a.r.t. btw)
It boots extremely slow. I turn the computer on and it stays at the white screen for around 20 seconds. Then it moves to Windows 7 and continues to boot from there. I have a video:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xc5taaslow-windows-7-boot-on-macbook-protech
In a windows only setting how would I get it to just boot Windows without going threw the white screen? It also gets hung when logging in on a black screen.
There was a post on Ubuntu forums about Ubuntu only boots about doing something to get it to only boot the MBR. I didn't really understand if this would work with Windows 7 though. Thanks for any help.

I shut down all but one of the extensions, and that seems to have resolved the problem. Thank you!
Now to figure out which extensions I need, and which I don't, because I don't have a clue. I don't remember installing most of these, I only recall one or two (nothing looks spammy like funmoods, but still don't remember when or why these were added...)

System is booting extremly slow

Hello everyone,
I'm facing the following issue: my system is booting extremly slow. Here you can see result of the process after ~30 mins: http://share.ghostwolf.eu/IMAG0213.jpg (approximetly 2-3 mins between each "OK"). I thought that problem could be with /home partition (you can see "expecting device dev-disk-by ..."), but nothing changed when I've removed it from /etc/fstab. So what do I have to do?

If you can get to a terminal please show outputs to "systemd-analyze" and "systemd-analyze blame". This will show your boot time and what is taking up the most time.

S400u extremely slow booting

Recently, my Lenovo S400U started booting extremely slow (takes about 5 minutes to load up to login screen). Same goes with restarting/shutting down, it takes good 5 minutes until the power button stops lighting. Problem is that I've tried a fresh install and it didn't solve the problem. I also tried HD tune, Seagate SeaTools, chkdsk, WD Lifeguard diagnostics - no problems found.
My warranty is ending in March, but I can't afford not having it for a month or so because of studying and work, so I'd like it to get solved other way.
Any ideas of what should I do?

Boot camp Windows xp SP2 wireless is extremly slow

boot camp Windows xp SP2 wireless is extremly slow or doesn't work at all. It shows connected on weird 270Mpbs good connection. Other PC and laptops work fine. They are on Linsys wireless N GB router.
I heard some people have problem with SP3, but I am on SP2. If I boot into MAC os, it works perfectly.
It's MacBook 13, just bought it last week. All drivers are updated.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I tried what Snackyotter did with no success. I don't really use the Caps Lock Key, or the Option Key at boot, when I want to switch to Boot-Camp and Mac OS X I just change the Boot Disk in System Preferences & vise-versa. Thanks for trying to help though. This weekend I am returning my Apple Slim Wireless Keyboard at the Apple Store. I still have the original packaging and receipt, I bought it offline and received it a few days ago. If the return doesn't go as planned and I'm stuck with this keyboard I will keep this question labeled 'unanswered'. If the return does go well I will label it solved, there is no need really to keep this topic waving around when I no longer have the Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have never EVER even thought of returning an Apple product before, wish me luck. To Apple though I must say that I am disappointed that you have had many months to fix this simple issue since this keyboard came out, but have decided not to. I will try to keep you updated. Again Thank You for your kind support.

Sudden Onset of Extremely Slow Boot Up + Clicking Noise

I have an HP Pavilion Slimline s3400z. I shut the computer down as usual at night and when I went to boot up in the morning, the cpu started making a clicking noise, something like a slow-moving metronome. It took upwards of 4 hours to boot. I manually powered off the computer and restarted it in safe mode. After leaving it to boot overnight, I returned to find that the clicking noise had ceased and the computer seemed to function normally. I restarted the computer in 'normal mode' whereupon the clicking noise resumed and once again it has taken hours for the computer to boot. I have had the computer for a little less than two years and up until today it has worked great.
Other observations that may be of some relevance:
-OS = Vista
-the hard drive light flickers as it normally does
-I can open up programs, although they run extremely slow
-the only error message I have received occurred when I hit alt+ctrl+delete; it said something like "logon security option failed." I clicked ok and haven't seen another error message
I don't know if this is related to the Seagate issues (I can't tell if I have a Seagate hard drive or not) or something else. Please advise if there is anything that I can do to save the computer. Thanks.

Sounds like the hard drive is dying a slow death. I suggest to replace it soon, hope you have a Recovery Disk set? You should be able to replace the hdd fairly easily. Usually a couple of screws to remove, unplug 2 cables and slide the old one out.
If you have files that you don't want to lose and don't have a backup on external usb hdd or dvd's I would get that done soon...if vista Backup will run.
If you don't have a Recovery set>> Contact HP
