Program startup times
I just recently migrated to OSX from OS 8.6. The one thing I have noticed is that program startups vary wildly, especially Safari and Mail. By that I mean sometimes they open right up, and other times I get to stare at the spinning beach ball for what seems waaay too long, considering that gigantic file sizes are not involved. What gives? Is this a quirk of the Unix underpinnings. or something else? Any enlightenment would be appreciated!
the indeterminate progress indicator, a.k.a. "spinning beach ball of death" shouldn't be plaguing you too much. you may want to do a force quit (apple-option-escape) to see if you have applications open you aren't aware of. another thing to try is booting to the install disk and running disk repair. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 the spinning beach ball could be a result of directory damage. you may want to get a cache cleaning utility like onyx or cocktail. this also could help things. all of that failing, you could also create a test user (in system preferences > accounts, clicking the plus sign above the lock) and see if there is a problem there with mail, safari, or other apps hanging while you try to open them. best of luck.

OS has been slow on program startup, freezes for up to 2 minutes
Hey everyone,
Have fixed many PCs in my day because they broke and I haven't had much experience on Macs because they just never seem to break and I am just not start where to begin troubleshooting. I have a refurbished (from Mac) Macbook Pro which I purchase about a year ago. 2.54 Ghz core 2 duo, 4 gb ram, running OS X 10.5.8 it recently has been freezing for long periods of time while starting programs.
When I got the computer it was running great, now it lags at certain times such as program startups and waking up from sleep. The freezes can range from 30 seconds to 3 minutes of idling where I can move the mouse around but the pinwheel spins and I can hear the hard drive working. It almost seems like some memory issue as if the computer is having a hard time getting going. It reminds me of windows computers that were infected with viruses that needed to be cleaned up. Sometimes it will run okay but other times if I open a program it will stall and take a while to open, most of the times when the program is finally open it runs smoothly.
The hard drive is 232 gb. I thought it might have been caused by space issues but when I freed up to 50 gb I still noticed the problem occurring. Right now I have 9 GB free - I know its low but I still don't believe it should be hanging for 3 minutes when I start some programs.
I am new to Macs but have troubleshooted many Windows computers and my question is where do I look from here? Is there a place that logs the computer activity during the slowdowns so that I can pinpont the issue?
Thanks for the help!
Here is a screenshot of activity monitor while copying a file over to an external hard drive that I have: http://i.imgur.com/4LXBN.png

Screenshot of system memory: http://i.imgur.com/YYKNf.pngI'm not sure what you mean by "crashing" but this is what has happened to me and a bunch of other users: When working with plugins that have visual analysis and with these plugins open Logic Pro lags very badly. You can't stop it. You can't make adjustments. You just wait for the lag to catch up, which sometimes takes up to two minutes, depending on the stress you are putting on the system. If this is the case with you as well, join the club. It's a problem that has been well-documented on here. It occurs for me when I open channel eq and have the visual analyzer button engaged. As soon as I open two instances I will get this lag.
I had a rather depressing conversation with a fellow at the top of tech support today, who still hadn't heard of this problem. All I can say is, CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT!!! Make sure they know this is a problem you are having! Otherwise it doesn't get placed into the heirarchy of bugs that need fixing. That's exactly what I was told today and it made me very upset because I have called support, and I have seen that many other folks have done the same. Apple is so large a company they just don't take things seriously enough to need to fix them until they receive calls. So please, call if you can! Ask to be put on with second tier support. -
Hi,
my macBook pro is taking a lot of time ( used to be 10-15 sec now 50 sec ) to boot (while in kernel boot mode). These are my logs after the "BOOT_TIME" message:

can you help me please?It seems, that all Windows machines develop this type of long startup-times over time. Conclusion: Bad quality operating system . There are a few things you may try: Disk cleanup, disk defragmentation and avoiding non-neccesary start-up programs running msconfig. My experience is, that all of these have limited impact, so the ultimate solution is a clean re-install of Windows. To do this, back-up all user data and use recovery disks as available.

T440 20B7-S0HN00 replacing T60 2007-VPX CoreDuo T2400 1,83GHz, ATI x1300 SXGA+, Win8.1 Pro, 4Gb RAM (=3), Kingston SSDNow V200 128GB, MS Office 2007, OpenOffice. 3 more T60 in family! -
I have a T420s with i7 and stock intel ssd and recently my startup time has been awful. Despite using various startup optimizers and playing with msconfig, I found the problem but don't know how to fix it.
When there is a CD in the optical drive (any cd) that startup time from power on (finger swipe) to desktop is 1 minute 47 seconds.
But, without a CD in the drive, startup is consistently 51 seconds or better.
Is this a normal delay? I tried to change the boot order in bios to only boot from the SSD (and not the optical drive) but can't figure this out. In bios it is already set to quick boot. Then I tried pressing f12 on startup but it seems to display the list of available boot drives without a way to change them. How do I set my laptop to only look to boot from the SSD?
Thank you.X2222 wrote:
I found the right setting and excluded all other drives from the boot priority list except for my intel ssd, BUT it still spins up the optical drive upon power up and takes forever to boot into windows. Is there anything more I need to do so that it only boots from my ssd?
You can take out the CD?
I haven't used a CDROM in ages....except to burn an image of my recovery discs....all other CD I just create an ISO out of it and then mount these images as an when I need. MagicISO at http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm is a free program you can try using.
Regards your booting problem, I couldn't figure out why it is doing that, except that you have a bad CD disc and the CDROM drive is having a hard time to read it, hence it keeps spinning and spinning and wasting the OS time to intrepret what device is that. However, when you changed the Bios setting, it shouldnt happen like that. A bad CD, you will hear the noise, like suddenly it will spend faster, then slow down, then repeat and there will be a series of clicking sound as the actuactor arm tries to read the media and the laser try to focus.
Maybe you can try to rank them by priority 1) SSD 2) HDD 3) CDROM etc instead of pressing x to remove the CDROM Drive from the list. Also, there is 2 bootup list, one with AC and one with battery, so you need to change the list appropriately. My bad, i mean the normal boot list and the network boot list.... -
Why is Maverick's startup time so SLOW!!!
Start up time went from 10 seconds to 32 seconds...
I quit Drop Box, wifi & got rid of all programs out of the tray, leaving only the finder & it did not improve the time...
How does one improve the start up time????The new Maverich update for GMail and iBook obviously fixed other issues...
The original Maverick caused my startup time to go from 10 seconds to 32 seconds...
This revised Maverick startup time is now 18 seconds...
I greatly appreciate the improvement... -
Ridiculous startup time on 11 month old Macbook Pro 13"
I bought my 2010 Macbook Pro 13", 4GB RAM and 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo last christmas.
Up until about the end of July when I upgraded to OSX Lion, my start up times ranged from around 35-45 seconds - I used to be very satisfied with this.
However, after I upgraded to OSX Lion, my startup time has taken a huge turn for the worst - it now ranges between two and a half to THREE minutes! This is an absolutely RIDICULOUS slowdown for a Macbook Pro that isn't even a year old - my four year old Windows Vista HP crappy laptop boots faster than this! The machine still runs smoothly and fast once it's fully booted, however.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the startup time on this machine that cost me an absolute bomb? I treat it very well, and clean the OS very reguarly using CleanMyMac.
Thanks in advanceGo back to Snow Leopard with a fresh install, and quit using Clean My Mac, you only need to clean the caches (which speed up boot times) if they are corrupted, not routinely.
Also Lion loads all your previous open programs, another asinine idea to torture people with, click that little box thingy when you shutdown each time. -
We are currently using the MyRio to run our Formula Hybrid Racecar. We have loaded on a RT application and programmed it to run on startup. It works just fine but takes 20-22 seconds to start running the RT program when the system is powered. We are running very simple code with no modifications to the FPGI. Is there a way to improve the startup time of the MyRio?
Thanks,

bulldogsracing.comHey Joseph,
The myRIO runs the NI Linux Real-Time operating system. When you power on the myRIO the OS loads, then the necessary drivers load, then your startup application can start running. A lot of the boot time is due to the OS and there is nothing the user can do to speed this up. If you have a bunch of drivers installed (software you installed through MAX) that you are not using you may be able to improve the boot time by removing the unused drivers.
Thanks!

I've installed Oracle 11g on my Win 7 64-bit OS, and I've noticed that after installing Oracle, a lot of items have been added to my startup and the resultant startup time has drastically increased.
Is this common ?
And if I uninstall Oracle, will the added components also get removed and my startup time return to the way it was ?
Thank you for looking!I did mention I am using Windows 7.
I don't know how to check if it's R1 or R2.
Anyway, I think my problem is regardless.
And by 'components', even I don't know what they are exactly. The thing is, programs like 'System' and 'WinCommand' used to take about 30 seconds collectively to start, but after installing oracle, the time has increased to 85. I can only assume installing Oracle added more things that get loaded when such programs load during startup.
P.S. : If you're wondering how I know the exact times, then I'm using this program called Soluto

I am new user of Leopard and have what will probably be considered a stupid question. Whenever I start my MacBook I notice the "pinwheel" under the Apple turns as few as 8 times or as many as 19 times. Is my MacBook starting up correctly and should I be concerned that all essential programs are starting when it only turns 8 times? Thank you for your time and assistance.

Welcome to the Apple forums:
Yes, variable startup times is normal. There are various system processes that run when booting that are not always the same.
If, when shutting down, a process did not properly terminate, repairs are made during the boot.
If the system itself did not shut down properly (not always the OPs fault) then on boot, a forced filecheck is run. Because the Leopard uses a journaling file system, the once long Unix boot times are eliminated and the journal is used to repair any minor filesystem damage. Not to worry
And, as in all Unix systems, every so often a forced filesystem check is run on boot, even if not needed, just in case.
Leopard runs on top of a very complex OS, known as BSD, but basically a Unix-based OS and unlike the other guy's OS, Unix is very stable but does require occasional self-correction. You will never see a message about the computer being improperly shutdown and therefore .. blah blah blah , but these things do go on behind the scenes.
If you are ever curious, in a terminal enter;
dmesg
and you will get a full report of all the things that go on behind our backs. Then you will get a good idea of why the boot time is variable. It's perfectly normal - - within limits, of course. If the system takes more than a few minutes to boot, there is most likely a problem. -
I am running the proprietary nvidia driver, using the awesome window manager. X starts up kinda slow given my minimal setup, and that bothers me a little. Here are the details:
The first time I start up X using startx (hence also loading my window manager), it takes a significant amount of time, even thought the nvidia module is already loaded.
If I then kill X and start it again, it starts up almost instantly. This is true even when I preform rmmod on the nvidia module; somehow the X server manages to load the nvidia module, start the server, and start my wm and associated programs faster than when on cold boot. If I don't perform rmmod on the module, there is no discernible difference.
Can someone explain these startup times? Thank you.I am running the proprietary nvidia driver, using the awesome window manager. X starts up kinda slow given my minimal setup, and that bothers me a little. Here are the details:

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.

http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc2=537725
http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc2=544252
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.
Activity monitor pics - just after a restart with my usual apps running:

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 (Mid 2012) Startup Time Increased
Hi everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) non-retina model. I have an upgraded SSD (Crucial MX100). The startup time from switching on to the login screen is usually around five seconds but since this morning the time has increased to around 40 seconds. When the power button is pressed, the tone sounds and the screen lights up but it takes quite a while for the apple logo to appear. I haven't added or removed anything or changed any settings since before this happened. There doesn't seem to be any changes to the performance of the computer once it has started up, or the time taken from the password entered for the bar to load (Yosemite).
My hard drive cable once broke and I had it replaced at an Apple store (if that means anything to anyone). If anyone could give me any possible explanations or advise on how I can return the boot up time to the normal time.
Thanks,

Hey there,
During startup of my MacBook Pro, Captive Network Assistant checks 249 different airport, hotel and other misc. WiFi hotspots. Proabaly adding a good 3 minutes to my startup time. ***? This all started while I was on extended layover at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
I thought Captive Network Assistant was an iOS thing. No iOS devices in my home or office. Here's a portion of the console log during startup.

Looking at the times, I see this only takes a fraction of a second but my startup time is still much much longer than it ever was or should.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get rid of this? I deleted the Captive Network Assistant.app from my computer but the checking continues. It seems to be a rarely mentioned issue doing a web search, and nothing like this, although it's referred to in certain articles.
Really weird.
GreggI'd take another look at your startup log.
If you look closely, you'll see that all those log messages occurred in the space of 30 milliseconds - by comparison, a human blink takes about 150 milliseconds.
So while I don't doubt you're seeing slow startup time, I don't think CaptiveNetworkSupport is the culprit, per se.
Fortunately, since every startup event is timestamped, it should be easy enough to determine what task is taking the most time.
As for CNS, it's not just an iOS thing - it's standard in Mac OS X, too. I'm also under the impression (but can't confirm) that it only checks the networks that you've previously connected to, so check System Preferences -> Network -> AirPort -> Advanced -> WiFi and delete any networks you no longer use or expect to connect to. -
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. -
Apple tv remote doesn't work so I programmed my time warner remote but can't unpair old remote
I haven't used my apple tv in months and today when I tried using it the remote would not work. I then tried to program my time warner remote to the apple tv and after I did this whenever I pressed a button on the remote a light flashes three times on the apple tv. I've read this is because the old remote is still paired to the apple device. I tried unpairing by holding menu and left on my time warner remote and menu and rewind also but neither combination seems to work as I am still seeing three blinking lights whenever I press a button. Any help as to how I can unpair my old remote?
