Safari 3.1.1 Extremely slow startup times (Suddenly)

Hi I'm running a Macbook with a 2.4 GHz Processor, (Intel Core 2 Duo), 4 Gigs of ram and Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.3.
this mac is about 2 months old and suddenly am having extremely slow startup times with Safari. The rest of the computer is very fast, this problem is only with safari... It used to open with about 2 or 3 bounces on the dock... now suddenly its around 15-20 bounces before it opens. It bounces this many times, and then I receive the beach ball for a few seconds. I am assuming it is probably a build up of some files, or tasks it runs through to open... It is worst when you open it for the first time after powering on the mac, after you open it, and close it it opens up a bit faster.
I have tried the basics, i.e. resetting safari and things like that.
Most of the suggestions for deleting files out of the User>Library> are for older OS's and do not apply to Leopard...
Any suggestions?

Navigate to this location: Macintosh HD/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences and delete the following files:
com.apple.safari.plist
com.apple.safari.RSS.plist
Do this with Safari NOT running. See if that solves the problem.

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!

Extremely slow startup/"Error loading kernel" when single user mode is run

My daughter's iMac has become very poorly responsive with a very slow startup time. It takes about 1 minute for the progress wheel to begin when I startup her machine. And then it takes another 2 1/2 to 3 minutes before the login screen appears. The computer runs very slowly with the spinning activity wheel occurring frequently. When I start it up in single user mode I get the following message on screen:
efiboot loaded from device: Acp:(PNP0A03,0)/PC: (1F12)/SATA(0,0)/HD(Part 2, Sig56BF F8F1-9ADB-4101-BD3C-BFBC38AEED26)
boot file path: \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi
.Loading Kernal cache file 'System\Library\Caches

Read error 0x7
Loading 'Mach Kernel'...
Could not open file 'Mach kernel'
Error loading kernel 'Mach_kernel' (0x9)
Could some one tell me what this means? And better still, what do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks.

I can't picture what is doing this other than something missing or muxed, but perhaps it's time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

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.

Safari has been running extremely slow for last 2-3 weeks, and crashing

I have Mac OS X G5 with operating system 10.4.11.
My Safari 4.1.3 has been running extremely slow for last 2-3 weeks, and crashing very often.
I have checked with my internet provider and they said everything looks ok in their end.
Does anybody know what is going on with safari???

Hi Rusty,
Best to start your own topic.
At the top of this window click: New / Discussion.
Select Safari from the pop up window.
Type in your Subject Line
Then post your crash report.

Will More RAM Slow Startup Times and Will it Speed Up Gaming?

Hi,
I was thinking of upgrading my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro's 4GB of Memory to 8GB (2X4GB).
I have heard roumors that it will slow down startup times. Also, it sounds obvious, but will it help with gaming performance and reducing lag during games?
Thanks.

"I use my Mac a lot in sleep mode so that is something to consider I suppose"
Don't let that concern you---it's not that big a pause. RAM is your friend. Thomas Reed's advice to use Activity Monitor is your best helper.
My older MBP has 2G RAM and can hold 6G, but AM has never told me I need more. Here what AM's RAM report looks like this morning:
44KB for "outs" is nothing, and the computer has not been restarted in days. (A restart clears the "in/out" numbers, so you should only run this test after using the computer for a while since the last restart.) On my MBP and for my usage patterns, 2G is completely appropriate. However, I've seen similar posts here where someone had 4G like you but the "outs were 25-30 percent of the "ins." Those people need RAM.

Slow startup time for JDeveloper 9i

The JDeveloper 9i release candidate takes a long time to startup. The pop-up window for method completion is also much slower than JBuilder 5.0. And I am using a 1.2 GHz P4 machine. Is it possible to speed up the startup time (maybe by making it not load certain libraries, such as XML editor, UML editor, etc.)?
Thanks
Roshan

This is a problem caused by references to files / URLs on
remote systems which are slow.
In particular, having projects with Remote Files/URLs in them
can cause slowness.
Same for Libraries - Having too many libraries or libraries with
remote links can slow down the system.
Look carefully at your project's Libraries and be sure you are
not including everything
Also see your project and make sure the files are all available
locally.
Let me know if this is the problem or not,
-John

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.

How to fix slow startup times on a macbook air

Before upgrading to Moutain Lion my MacBook Air booted up to the desktop in less than 30 seconds. Now with Mountain Lion it takes 1 minute and 30 seconds to get to the desktop. What can I do to get the startup time back to the way it was before upgrading?

I had already checked and tried numerous "google" searches without any successbefore coming here. If you can't give a response without being sarcastic then don't bother replying.
Wow! Are you thin-skinned. My comment wasn't, as you say, sarcastic. I never assume anything not explicitly stated or implied. If you've visited these forums for any length of time, you'd know how many don't do the obvious things, but expect responders to be clairvoyant. If none of those hits solved your issue, I'm out of ideas, since the global and app-specific defaults changes work here. Good luck and have a happy holiday weekend (US-only).

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
Arch vanilla kernel: 3.17.2-1
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:
Maximizing performance
Improve boot performance
Did not find any relevant tip to fix problems.
#2. systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 16.354s (kernel) + 10.182s (userspace) = 26.536s

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.

Extremely Slow Startup, Blue Screen, and Poor Performance

Hello,
A couple of weeks ago my MBP 15" (late 2009 model) started performing really poorly. The colour wheel would spin for about 2 minutes if a launched any applications and everything was really slow. It also took about 10 minutes on the grey apple screen to startup and then another 10 or so on the blue screen before slowly revealiing my desktop.
I took it into the genius bar and the said it might be a corrupt file on the HD. Backed up my HD, zeroed the drive and reinstalled OS. Still the same problems. Ran disk utility several times and got various errors pertaining to HD or RAM.
Took it back into the Genius bar and they ran a long diagnostic on it, came back to me and said it is deifinatly the RAM. I replaced the ram, (2x2GB ddr3-1066 sodimm) and cleared PRam. Still the same startup and performance issues.
Any ideas would be appreciated as this is stressing me out big time as I dont know what else it could be?

Hmm... before this I think I would have restarted the computer in Safe Boot mode which deletes the dynamic-loader shared cache.
Not sure if it is relevant at this point
Safe Boot
# it forces a directory check of the startup volume.
# It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
# In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
# It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
# Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.

Did you run the Apple Hardware Test. What is the S.M.A.R.T. status, could be that HD is failing?

Safari is loading webpages extremely slow and not loading images...

Not loading webpages a lot of the time and not loading images on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm new to Mac and I'm running Safari on a Mac Mini. Help? Also deleted ~/Libraries/Safari and it didn't work.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Hp dv7 intel, windows 10 extremely slow boot times and lagging and glicthy

I did the free upgrade and the boot time was really really slow. once it came up it was really laggy for a little bit too.i figured might of been an issue with the upgrade instead of a clean boot. so i erased and did a clean boot as well and still had the forever boot time with black screen.. i went back to windows 7 and no issues. has anyone else had this issue with the pavalilion dv7? if so what did you do to fix it?

Hi there & , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I have looked into the issue you are having with the boot time being slow on your Notebook with Windows 10. I did some research and found a way to make the boot time faster. Although this site is not affiliated with HP, it has some great step by step instructions. The topic is called Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating for Windows 10. Updated Windows 10 drivers will become available on the HP Drivers and Downloads Page for your product. They will be released as they become available to HP. Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went. Thank you! Have a great day!

Extremely Slow Startup/ Difficulties with Freezing

My Mac worked fine one day. I literally used it for one hour and shut it off, and it acted perfectly normal. Nothing was out of place or acting strangely. I waited a few hours and brought it to another house and tried to start it up. It froze on the apple/gray screen and went nowhere. On top of that, if it fell asleep, it would shut itself off. Eventually and currently, I can get it to start up, but it usually will take between ten and fifteen minutes to get to the log in screen and just as long to get to my desktop after that. It also does not go to shut down anymore if it goes to sleep.... usually.
From there, I usually pull up iTunes. Everything will work smoothly, until I try to change multiple items or import a CD, during which, iTunes will freeze up. It's especially horrific when I have another song playing. Sometimes the music will keep playing, and the timer will freeze, but eventually the music will stop until my computer can catch its technological breath. This freezing also will spread to the whole computer; granted it only lasts for a few seconds at the least and five minutes at the most.
Microsoft Word 2008 also give me this problem. It seems that whenever it saves, it likes to give me the same problems that iTunes does. No other programs that I've noticed have had this problem, however, these two programs are the ones i use the absolute most.
It's almost like it's just too much for my computer to handle. My computer is only a year and three months old (Or is that too old?). I've deleted many useless files and programs, as that's as far as my computer knowledge will let me think of to do. I've been told to try and boost/ restart the "PRAM" and have seen that do absolutely no good. I'm at a loss.
I tried to update my safari for the new iTunes (I'm currently on firefox) and it involved a restart in order to update. It failed epically because the start up took too long, and it stayed on one screen forever, not even the updating screen. I have to find a way to fix it, whether that be something I'm able to do myself or sending it to someone when and if I have the money.
I need help and any suggestions will be welcomed warmly, before I feel like I must send it in and pay money.
Thank you.
Caitlin

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
How full is your hard drive? You should have 15-20% free. If your drive is too full, it could cause sluggish behavior.
Is the S.M.A.R.T status of your hard drive verified? If it is not, then your drive is failing, which can also cause freezing. If this is the case, the hard drive will have to be replaced.
Is all your RAM recognized? If not, try reseating it. Your Mac will be very slow if some of your RAM is not being recognized.
Do you have a lot of LogIn items? Check these under "Accounts" and eliminate all that you don't really need. Often when you download software, it will install itself as a log in item, which means it opens when you start up your computer. If there are a lot of these, start up will take a long time because they all have to open.
Have you tried reinstalling the OS with an Archive and Install? Some freezing can be software related.
Your computer is not too old--many of us have even older ones which are working without issue. You just have some issue which is keeping your Mac from working properly.
Do you have a good backup? If not, you should place a high priority on making one. One possibility for the freezing is that your hard drive is going south, and if that is the case, you are at risk of losing everything. In any event, making a good backup is a good idea before getting involved in a lot of troubleshooting.
Are you under warranty? If so, any hardware problems would be fixed for free under warranty.
Maybe the first thing to try is to evaluate your hard drive. Check that you have adequate free space, and if not, freeing up more space will be the next step. If you're not sure what is taking up the space, there are some utilities which will help you to see what is:
http://www.derlien.com/
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/
http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/
Also check the S.M.A.R.T. status. If it says "Verified", try running this utility:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32454
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a more comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive than Disk Utility will, and you may get an early warning of impending drive failure.
Try checking out the RAM and hard drive, and report back with how it goes. If it isn't clear to you how to proceed, or if you have any further questions, please post back.
Good luck!

Safari opens new tabs extremely slow

My post is very similar to this one.
Since I got Safari 4, opening new tabs has been painful when having Safari open (in the background) for a longer period of time.. When starting Safari and doing stuff with tabs, no problem! However, after a couple of days, when I press +t to get a new tab, I have to wait (spinning wheel of death) 4 to 60 seconds for the new tab to appear.. This hangs my complete OS, not just Safari!
I am having this same problem on: Mac Mini early 2009 with Leopard + Safari 4, Macbook Pro Early 2008 (first penryn), Leopard and Snow Leopard with Safari 4, and now on my new MBP (mid 2009) Snow Leopard with Safari 4...
It is reaaallllly annoying (since opening tabs should be fast), and I suspect this has to do with the fact that I have 'Top Sites' as default page (Top Sites displays when I open up a new tab)...
I've turned that off now, to see if I still experience slowdowns, but this would mean loss of a great feature that I really like..
Please reply / post if you need more info

First of all, you don't need to use Top Sites as your default page; change that to an Empty Page and leave it that way. If you want to access Top Sites, there's a button on your Toolbar to do that.
Next, try this to solve your other problem(s):
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.
