Significant Boot Up Times (Cold Start)

a bit of time ago, i installed boot-camp beta, had a partition installed, and removed such partition since i found that functionality of parallels would suffice my needs.
however...
since i removed such partition (thru bootcamp assitant mind you) i have had some really sifnigicant boot up times... my last boot was about 2 minutes to the log-in screen... it used to be around 30 seconds or less...
help me people! i am trying to avoid the re-install of the OS.

All you shou have to do is reset the PRAM. Turn off your computer. Unplug the power cord. Take out the battery. Hold down the Power button for 5 seconds. Put the battery back in. Plug it up. Turn it on. This should cure the long start up time.

Q5 booting problem: cold start every time

Hi,
I've recently changed from a Curve 9320 to the new Q5 and I am more than happy about this phone - however, there is one problem: Whenever I turn the Q5 off, switching it on will inevitably result in a cold start which takes about 2 min. before I can use the phone again.
I have already spoken to my dealer (O2 in Germany) but they just don't know anything about BB devices so hopefully someone here can help me getting this fixed or deciding whether I need to get a new phone instead...
Thanks in advance!
Armin

My blackberry 8320 take about 3min , my 9300 2min and my 8520 4min
The Curve series is better than the Q series. I never see so much problem in one phone , I can't Call with it !
The 9320 is a good model and the battery is excellent, i may buy it or the 9360 because i can't stay with a phone who can't call .

Cannot successfully boot from cold start - why?

Subject line says it all. New Mac mini and Lacie mini 250 GB external firewire drive. Loaded 10.4.2 on both.
Sys. Prefs set to select Lacie mini as startup disk. But from a cold start always get a boot using Mac mini. If I next do a restart (nothing turned off) it does work correctly in that the boot is now from the Lacie mini.
When I do the cold start boot the Lacie mini is not spinning (on, but no disk noise). So how is it suppose to be spun up in time to provide the desired OS?
Any help appreciated.

This is my final reply to an earlier thread about this sibject. Are you leaving the Lacie powered up too?
The start up delay seems to be the problem. I was leaving the firewire hd powered up ie: always on. If I power it down at shut down and switch it on just before booting it spins up and the boot grabs hold of it no problem. Oddly enough the Maxtor that I used before did not give this problem. I left it powered up and it booted OK. Many thanks for the tip!

Vote here for decreasing cold start time...

Please vote or add a comment here if you would like the option of preloading the JVM to decrease cold start times for applets and applications:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6346341
Thank you.
Dennis Klotz

Pre-loading the JVM will increase the boot time of my
machine.
Can't you think of a workaround yourself? If you have
your machine run a small Java application at boot
time, it will already load the JVM.The RFE states that this will be an "option".
So in your case you would never turn the option on....
But to answer your question, this isn't a single user running into a problem. If it was then your solution would make perfect sense. In our case we are talking about a product that goes out to customers and I need a solution that is a bit more professional. :)

970 GAMING black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime

I have 970 GAMING w/ FX8320, it shows black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime to enter default.
I have updated it to the up to date M11 bios. Once it boot up, it functions OK no matter whether you reboot or reset it. But after turned off a few hours (cooled down), it shows on black screen again on boot, all LED lights up OK, but I can hear the fan like keep rebooting, any idea?
PSU seasonic 430W, GPU HD7750.

In what DIMM slots did you insert your memory? I just got and at this moment building a new computer with a 970.
A horrible experience I had with my last build reminded me of it. My board was am MSI A88XM-E45. DIMM1 is blue, DIMM2 is black, DIMM3 is blue, & DIMM4 is black. When using two sticks of RAM, it says to install one on DIMM1 & the other in DIMM3 (Makes sense... After all, it's color colored that way).
Well it would not boot. I reseated every component and for HOURS tried almost everything. Finally I decided to place my two sticks of RAM in the first two DIMMS and viola!
I think I will begin this build the same way.

My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why?

My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why? Otherwise, the desktop runs fine.
The battery is new, and I zapped the little button on the main board once. I've noticed that the power supply plug is a little longer than the usual one for G4, and the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.

Hi Ursula,
the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.
I believe that is for ADC Monitor power if you had one, or a card with ADC, like the little tab on this one...
I think your startup problem is bad capacitors in the power supply or on the logic board, and the need to bleed off their charge before they work right to start.

Every time i start my MacBook Air i get the spinning wheel and have to soft boot (shift, control, option, power) it three or four time s before it starts

Every time i start my MacBook Air i get the spinning wheel and have to soft boot (shift, control, option, power) it three or four time s before it starts. It has only been over the last week or so I also found Safari will not load up and tyou have too open then shut from the drop down then restart it to get a page, any help pleas?

Do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
     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.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 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.

Macbook boots twice every time it starts

I have the latest Macbook 13' bought in 2013. I noticed that recently every time I start or restart my Mac, it boots twice. I would be prompted to enter the password after the launch sound and then after I enter my password, a bar appears and when it loads to full, my Mac would restart and repeat the process, asking me to enter my password again. This time without the launch sound.
Is this normal?

Found this one: http://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/2afahr/have_to_login_twice_for_macbook_pro/
Is FileVault enabled? If so, you have to login once to unlock the encrypted disc followed by your standard account login.
Edit: To check if FileVault is enabled open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault

I tried several times to setup a mail account with Thunderbird, but next time I boot the computer and start Thunderbird, no account is shown.

I bought a new desktop PC with Win 8.1 and installed Firefox and Thunderbird.
Then, I tried to configure the e-mail account manually (as IMAP) following the instructions provided here: https://support-en.upc-cablecom.ch/app/answers/detail/a_id/22 , but failed to configure the smtp outgoing mail server correctly (I could receive mail, but not send them). Subsequently, I deleted that account. Then, I launched the automatic mail setting tool provided by UPC Cablecom under the link http://www.upc-cablecom.ch/content/dam/www-upc-cablecom-ch/Support/executables/upc-cablecom-email-assistent.exe and it did successfully setup the account, however as a POP3 account. As I was not happy with it, I deleted the POP3 incoming mail server (and lost the received e-mails, of course...) and retried a manual setup. Doing so, I obtained an incoming IMAP mail account plus two outgoing SMTP server (comparing them, I also understood the configuration mistake I had done the first time). I then deleted the manual SMTP server as the automatically setup server worked properly.
In this context, both receiving and sending e-mail worked OK. However, the next time I started the computer, the e-mail account disappeared and Thunderbird asked me to setup a new account again. I successfully set it up manually one more time, but the same problem surfaced again at the next boot, the e-mail account was gone...!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Check what profile is being used.
AppMenu button - Help - Troubleshooting Information - Profile Directory - Open Directory
Your profile folder should open in Windows Explorer. What is the profile location?
Reboot your computer and repeat the steps above. Has the profile folder changed?

No sound on cold start after upgrading to Lion

I am running the 27" iMac with dual hard drives and have recently upgraded to Lion. Two things are happening.
1. On cold start / boot up, my system has no sound. And by no sound I mean - no sound. When I go to the Sound option in System Preferences, everything is greyed out and I can not adjust or access any of the controls. The only solution has been to immediately restart my computer. After restart, everything is fine.
2. On cold start / boot up, sometimes I receive a pop up telling me that TestGen is not installed properly and to please re-start. Of course, since I have no sound I'm automatically doing that. Could be that these to things are related somehow? I don't know.
Lastly, and I'm not adding this to the list because there is already a thread about it . . but I will mention it . . I am getting error messages trying to play certain videos "This video requires Quicktime which is not supported by this version of iTunes." Oh yeah? Since when? The workaround is that you apparently have to delete the video from your Library -- DO NOT DELETE FILE FROM HARD DRIVE -- and re-add to your Library. I think this has to be the dumbest bug out there right now.
But what I'd really like is to not have to re-start my computer every d$!@n time just to be able to have sound.
Tired of the Lion errors. Apparently we're all Beta testers <-- lame humor.

I have one of the Mid 2010 27-inch iMac's running 10.7.3 without any audio problems like you describe. You mentioned that you have two hard drives. Do you have the factory installed hard drive + SSD, or did you install it yourself?
You mentioned TestGen. What version do you have installed? It appears that the latest version of the TestGen browser plug-in is 7.5.1.
Have you tried resetting PRAM?
Have you tried booting in Safe Mode to see whether booting without all of the extra kernel extensions makes the issue go away? If it does then I would look consider reinstalling Lion and evaluating the various utilities your've installed which may be affecting your audio.

BIOS update results in slower boot up time

I have an HP dv5 laptop running Vista x64 SP2 with an Intel duo core 2.53GHz CPU with 4Gb of RAM. The BIOS was version F09A up until yesterday, when I happened to notice that the latest BIOS available is F21A. I checked the prior BIOS updates and noticed that F16A had an update for supporting SP2. I had already updated my system with SP2 earlier this year and didn't notice any issues, but I figured I should do this anyway. I flashed my BIOS with F21A.
The update worked fine. However, I noticed my cold start up time to be considerably longer, perhaps 25-50% longer. So, rather than continuing with this I rolled back to the 2nd latest firmware that noted SP2 support, version F16A. Still, I have the same kind of sluggish start-up.
I don't really understand why this is happening. Is it normal for BIOS revisions to affect boot up times like this? I'm wondering if I should just roll back to F09A... but now I'm worried that this may trip something up, going backwards like this. Everything was generally working well before this...
Any advice?
"If you keep an open mind, life will give you more possibilities."

Any ideas on this?
I'm definitely noticing a slower boot up time after upgrading my BIOS. Is it OK to roll back to the previous BIOS I was using? Is it a 100% fresh "reset", or is it possible it may not be completely as before?

Slow boot up time on new Macbook Air

I just got the new Macbook Air a day ago and have already experienced significantly slow boot up time. It takes about 3-5 minutes to get to the log in screen. I know when it was released, it was boasted that it only took seconds to start up after being turned off. Any idea on what I could do to change this or what the issue is?
Also, I just switched from a PC so have very limited knowledge on the Macbooks.

Try Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Kernel panics from cold start

I get the following kernel panics fairly often from a cold start. Is this something to do with my hard drive or the RAM. It is a 4GB BTO MB 2.4GHz from the Apple factory.
Grateful if someone could give me some guidance. It seems CPU related. Hope this is not a big issue.

Hi
A customer of mine is having serious problems with several ESW-500 switches.
He started a discussion under Netpro, but haven't received any answers. This might be the right group?
He wrote:

which are making unauthorized cold starts and that gives me a lot problems.

Hello!
My name is Robert and I am network engineer for the Cisco SBSC. This is the correct place for the ESW500 series.
From the error messages you are seeing, I would recommend to disable the Bonjour service to see if that helps with the reboots. I am currently looking into the error messages you are getting to see if there is a solution. I would recommend giving us a call as well for immediate assistance on the error messages. Below is a link for our support center numbers.
