Slow start up on my Macbook Pro

Can anyone help me.....Since purchasing my Macbook Pro last year Ive noticed a steady decline in the start up speed. Has anyone got some good advice on what I can do to fix this? I'm not 100% on the in's and out's of a Mac as my main experience has been mostly with Windows so any idiot guide help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Select the hard drive - click on it once and then do a get-info (command-I). That'll tell you the capacity, available and used.
2. Icons and/or files on the desk top other than what is in the dock. (Windows users love to fill their desk top with files and stuff).
3. To get you better up to speed read this article:
http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/
4. How much time are you experiencing for start up? Is it a cold start or a restart?

Slow start up on my macbook pro (gray screen)

when i start my macbook pro i get the gray screen before loading. start up is very slow.

Hello there, I am actually experiencing the same problem. The past few days my MacBookPro's startup has become extremely slow (around 3-4min!!). I have erased the disk (the "most secure" way) and re-installed Mountain Lion, but in vain! Still running slow! Opening Finder or Safari or whatever takes seconds...the multicolour wheel has become a very common sight these days!I did not really understand how people that have previously posted here got help, but here is my timestamp after booting:

Can not start up on my Macbook pro. All I get is a grey spinning wheel. Tried all the Startup key combinations and nothing works. I reset the NVRAM and nothing. I booted with start up disk , ran disk repair and all is ok. Tried to re-install OS but when I get to designating drive its blank. When I go to startup disk there is a "?" mark. When I restart under startup disk search for a drive it still comes up with nothing. Before I got the grey spinning wheel I had a locked screen. Could not move curser or click on anything. Finally just shut down. Thank you in advance for any help!

Shouldn't still have a 'beachballing'... if the drive is being found and the system is trying to boot from it but is having problems, I would suggest looking over ds store's user tip - Step by step to fix your Mac.
It's likely either something corrupt in your system files or a failing hard drive. But follow ds's steps until you find the cause of the problem.
Good luck,
Clinton

TS4185 When starting Facetime on my MAcBook Pro I receive "internal error? any help?

When I start Facetime on my MacBook Pro I receive "internal error. You need to quit and reopen Facetime". I do this and nothing changes, same error. Any ideas are welcome.

Re: "An internal FaceTime error occurred. There was a problem with FaceTime. "
Mar 28, 2011 11:14 AM (in response to iannuz86)
I have a solution for your problem, it took a little investigating and work to get FaceTime for Mac working. Here's what I did: Go to the folder /Applications then right click on FaceTime.app go into /Contents/LaunchAgents and look for two files "com.apple.imagent.plist" and "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" and copy them into your /Home/yourusername/Library/LaunchAgents. If you can't find "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" do a Google search for it and download it, the name will be "com.apple.apsd.plist.txt", do a cmd-I on it and rename it "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" put this file in the same folder as "com.imagent.plist", launch FaceTime and if your webcam lights up, your good to go.
Hope this helps.

Try holding down the trackpad button while starting up the PowerBook. Holding down mouse button during start up ejects the disc in the optical drive, so I'm guessing it would work the same with the button the the trackpad.

Please elaborate. What do you mean by "start up problems" ? How far does it get?

Will installing OS X mavericks slow down my late-2007 macbook pro? If so, is it worth it?
I currently run OSX 10.7.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb mem.

Does it meet the specs for Lion?
Are your third apps compatible?
I'd also be sure to have at least 4GB RAM and 10-15% free space on your HDD.

Extremely Slow System when Compiling - New Macbook Pro

Hello,
I am having numerous problems with the newest Macbook Pro 13 inch (16GB RAM i7) when compiling programs in the terminal. Every time I start a process whether it is compiling a file / installing a program etc the terminal window and other application freeze. It is important to note that I have an older macbook pro which does not suffer from this issue. In order to check whether it could have been an issue with the software/compiler/library version installed I reinstalled the same version of OS Mavericks from scratch on both laptops and did not install any additional software and or anything which did not come directly from apple. The issue is still there and no matter what the terminal freezes on the newer macbook pro.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks
John

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted."

Slow Booting time after installing MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 on 13 Inches Mac 2010 model

I'm experiencing a slow boot time after my computer installed a MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 itself on 13 Inches 2010 model, how to downgrade or fix it?
My computer is starting 2 times slower then it should be, why Apple done this to me?
Please help who really know somthing about Macs.

I have the same problem, especially when I open my laptop from sleep. It takes at least 2 minutes for the computer Internet connection to work.
Never had that problem prior to the last firmware update 2.7.
Is there a way to revert back to 2.6?

How long is the start up time with macbook pro retina?

I just bought a new 13 inch macbook pro with retina display. It is using osx mavericks.
It takes about 21 seconds to start up. I watched a demo on youtube and the demo showed it should take about 12 seconds to start up.
I have two users on the computer and each user requires a password. Would that take it longer to start up? The demo had one user and it didn't require a password.
I also briefly had sophos antivirus installed but uninstalled it. I don't know if this could have slowed it down, but it is off the computer now. I also have the firewall turned on...could this slow it?
Thanks for any input!

AppleCare will only replace your battery if it has significantly lower than expected capacity within one year of buying. After a year it's not covered.
Your battery's capacity very much depends on how you treat the battery. If it's always in a hot environment and if you're always draining the battery to 0% charge (two things that decrease Lithium-Ion battery life), then the capacity that you have is not too surprising.
You could try calling AppleCare but I don't know that you'll get anywhere with them considering that it's been more than a year.

Slow WiFi Network Caused by MacBook Pro

Hi all,
I've had my MacBook Pro for about 3 months now but have noticed the WiFi download speeds are particularly poor. Having read a few articles, I've tried a number of "fixes" but to no avail. What makes this more puzzling is that it doesn't just affect my MacBook but EVERY device connected to my WiFi suffers from poor speeds when my MacBook is switched on.
If my MacBook is off I get about 17Mbps but when it's on, I only get about 3Mbps. The pings are slow too - around 300ms. I've tried switching off Bluetooth and WiFi but still other devices are affected. The only way to restore decent download speeds is to turn the MacBook off completely.
Some things I've tried to fix the issue include; turning off Bluetooth, deleting the WiFi connection, forgetting the WiFi network, resetting the router, changing the security settings of the router and switching off all other devices in case one is causing a conflict.
I'm baffled!
Has anyone experienced this? Any other suggested fixes?
Thanks,
Kevin

OK, so I've finally solved the issue (after a couple of months!) - tonight I stumbled across this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3733629?start=0&tstart=0
Disabling photo streaming and then resetting the router has done the trick!

Slow boot up of 2008 macbook pro - Firewire port problem?

My 2008 15" macbook pro mostly works fine, but whenever I shut it down or restart it (as opposed to just sending it to sleep) it gets stuck trying to reboot. It usually takes several attempts, and so far, eventually starts if I leave it for a while, like a few hours.
I try all the basic things, resetting Pvram, trying safety mode, checking the disk for errors in disk utility, but they don't help at all.
It's been like this for about 6 months now, I mostly just never shut it down as it wakes up from sleep mode fine. But I'd like to find out what the problem is as every time I need to restart it I panic that it will never come back on again. Recently I booted it in verbose mode to see what the problem is and I'm getting a never ending error message saying something like this:
FIrewire (OHCI) TI ID 8025 built-in: handleUnrecoverableErrorInt
Seems like it's a problem wth my Firewire Port? I have never used Firewire, so wondered if I could just disable it somehow? my problem seems similar to this guy:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9001641?searchText=Long%20boot%20up%20time s%202008%2015%22%20Macbook%20pro%20-%20firewire%20port%20problem?
But I'm a bit clueless so I'm not sure if his problem is the same... mine seems to be mostly related to boot up rather than kernal panic (I have no idea what that is to be honest!) and I don't want to just try his fix and break my computer!
My cd/dvd drive also stopped working around the same time, coincidentally the above post also says his drive is not working, I'm not sure if the two issues could be related?
Any thoughts advice much appreciated!
P.S. The machine has already had a new motherboard and graphics card put in by Apple as per the recall on this model

Ok, I copied the guy in the above thread and disabled my firewire by deleting this file:
/System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext
Tested it a couple of times and it seems to have solved my slow boot up problem! I'm down from a 3 hour boot up to a minute or so!
Now, bizarrely, it won't shut down properly... I get stuck at a grey screen when I try to shut down, so I just have to press the dreaded power button. No idea why, but still, I'd rather it powered up properly, so I guess I'll just leave it as it is, I rarely shut it down fully anyway.
