Snow Leopard very slow to boot

I have an older Macbook with a 2.16Ghz Intel core duo processor 2Gb 667 DDR2 SDRAM and a 120Gb HD (111 Gb free)
I have just installed Snow Leopard over Tiger from DVD.  After the install the boot-up time was 15mins!  After backing everything up I repartioned the drive and did a clean install, the boot-up time is now 10mins!
Once up and running the computer is fine, everything work as expected, although I have not yet installed any other software so it is currently "factory fresh".
I've checked the HD (as best I can) and can find no errors, it runs quietly without abnormal vibration etc. and disk utility reports it as fine.
Can anyone sugest what the problem is?  10 minutes to boot up cannot be normal, my old 1986 Amstrad, booting from a floppy drive, only took a minute to boot so I'm sure that Apple could beat that.

It is unlikely that Apple would put the Combo update version in Software update. You have always had to go looking for it.
I suggest you first go to the Apple Logo > About this Mac and tell us what version of Snow Leopard is installed and how much RAM (memory) you have.
IF ...  you have 10.6.0 to 10.6.3 then you have the basic Snow Leopard.  That would need updating using the 10.6.8 Combo updater followed by Software Update as many as show (probably 4 or 5 to include security and iTunes updates).
At this point you will also have the App Store.
This is a big update and could take half an hour or more, time that has no connection with the current slowness you are experiencing.
OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Then, providing you have more than 1GB of RAM you should see an improvement. but in reality, you could do with 4GB.

  • Snow Leopard - very slow restart / reboot and Boot Camp restart fail

    Hi
    After Snow Leopard installation on my Macbook Pro I have a very slow restart. I logged this immediately after install and waited till 10.6.1 was issued and installed but still have the same problems. Hope some one can help.
    For an normal restart or reboot I have the grey screen for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for about 2 mins 30 secs before loading desktop. This is longer than Leopard and clearly not what Snow Leopard is meant to be. I have installed on an iMac as well and can see the new normal fast boot.
    I also have Windows on it's own partition and use in Boot Camp. I have used this successfully under Leopard.
    When I restart from Windows using the Start button and restart, Windows shuts down and then the mac starts up but gets stuck indefinitely on the blue screen. I have waited up to 25 mins then forced a shut down.
    However if I restart from Windows using the Boot Camp icon in the taskbar and choose the restart from MacOSX it shuts down windows and restarts the mac in record time!! about 25 secs grey screen and 25 secs blue screen. I can't get this in normal mac mode! - Bizarre.
    I have run Disk Utility, repaired permissions, run Tech Tool, Onyx, reset PRAM, deleted startup items plists and removed startup items from System Preferences Account.
    I have monitored the Console app for all the startup conditions noted above and will post below. In the logs of the normal mac reboot you can see something to do with Security Agent taking over 2 mins to load. Maybe that is a clue, but I don't understand these messages. Please note that the iStatsmenu app was installed after snow leopard and I had these slow startups before it's installation.
    If anyone technical can understand what the **** is going on here I would really appreciate your feedback.
    Regards
    Eric

    Hi guys
    Thanks for your contributions. I have made little progress on this issue since posting.
    Just as added info, I did a re-install of Snow leopard from install DVD and upgrade again to 10.6.1 and no change to the startup behaviours. Same pattern as before, although the first restart was fast and probably how it is meant to be, then the slow ones reappeared.
    I also had a thought that somehow it may be related to the nominated startup disk. There were posts on other boards about similar issues with Leopard where the hanging start was found to be related to the computer not knowing which startup disk to use. I thought maybe as it works when using the boot camp icon from Windows but not the restart button, it may be related, but in OSX and Windows both are set to startup in OSX on HD. So no further joy.
    Maybe someone else will come along who can understand the Console logs. Why does the loginwindow and Security Agent take so long?
    Do you guys have any clues from your Console system logs? Does yours hang on loginwindow?
    The fact that there are so few people with the same problem suggests to me that there is a third party device/preference/ hidden file somewhere that is having an effect and it's not an Apple issue.
    I am getting close to wiping the hard drive and starting again....but live in hope.
    Cheers

  • Snow Leopard - Very Slow - Corruption?

    Hello:
    I'm using a Mac Mimi with Snow Leopard 6.8.     For the past day or so, it has been working very slow.
    The Applications & Browsers (Firefox & Safari) have been slow to launch.
    When I open the Application folder, the application Icons have been slow to load.
    I ran Disk Verify and it told me there was a corruption and to run Disk Repair from the Install DVD
    which I did.
    After doing this, I ran Repair Permissions and it showed numerious files within Libarary that
    were repaired.
    This is now the second time in the past 3 months this has happened.
    Can anyone give me some idea/suggestion as to what might be going on here?
    Thanks.

    Here's somthing very interesting, it may have been the Mouse.  We have been using the
    Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse for several years now, in fact we are now on our third one in
    the past 10 years and have never had any problems.
    Well, just for the heck of it, I switched to the the extra mouse we have for my wife's laptop, it
    is a Logitech Basic Optical Mouse, I went to the Logitech site and downloaded the control
    panel for Mac after making a few adjustments in the control panel, this mouse seems to be
    working fine.  Now, everything I click on is loading and working normally.
    It is very hard to believe, that all the problems may have been caused by a mouse going bad.
    We well of course continue the monitor everthing to make sure, but hopefully as simple as this
    may have turned out to be - it seems just so silly to have gone through all the other tests only
    to have it turn out to be the mouse.

  • Snow Leopard is slow on my mac mini

    I think snow leopard is slower than leopard on my mac mini. What is the matter?
    (excuse me for my english)

    I'm finding the same effect on my Mac Mini (just a few months old).
    My Mac Book Pro is actually noticeable faster with Snow Leopard, but the Mac Mini is 10 times slower than it was with Leopard - barely usable at all.
    My Mac Mini is 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB Ram.
    I've checked the activity monitor and othing seems to be hogging the CPU or using up the RAM. I did try to boot into 64 bit kernel, but it didn't seem to work (once I unlocked the firmware).
    ... Fixed! ...
    Now my Mac Mini works blindingly fast again. Not sure how I fixed it, but could be a combination of removing all GPG traces, stopping EyeTV helper from starting up and trying many times to boot into 64 bit kernel (but never succeeded).
    (Also removed GeekTool and Secrets preference panes).
    Also, since the firmware was unlocked I got a Mac Mini Firmware update (to 1.2), so maybe that helped.

  • I have a Presario SR5450F. Recently, it is very slow to boot up. It hangs up on the Compaq screen

    I have a Presario SR5450F.  Recently, it is very slow to boot up.  It hangs up on the Compaq screen (Setup, Boot Menu, System Recovery, Diagnostics).  It hangs up on that screen for at least 10 minutes, which is unacceptable.  It just started doing this.  Can someone please help me?  Thanks.

    You're welcome goldcanyon1
    Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing your problem and what device was causing it for you. Sometimes having too many USB devices can cause problems. Your camera might work if only the mouse and keyboard are connected. It is worth a try if you need to get photos from it. I have seen even on my custom built PC occasional "odd" issues that can arise from having a variety of different USB devices connected.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • Very slow to boot, even on an external drive

    A friend's 15" MacBook Pro, quad core i7,(older, not sure of the exact model) very slow to boot, and boots with the progress bar, then when you try to log in, it goes back to the login page. Often it will not start. Starts after resetting SMC.  Reset PRAM. Booted to the recovery disk, ran repair disk on drive, no errors, tried to run repair on the volume and the MBP shut down. Tried booting to an external drive and it boots to an empty desktop with a finder window like an extended desktop.Tried AHT, only the usual battery sensor error, 4SNS/1/40000000  TB3T-128.000. ran extended test, same thing, only the one error.
    So, how to back up this MB Pro before I try an erase and install. (short of removing the drive) It would seem to be a hardware error, but always want to try an erase and install. Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions?

    Mike -- thanks for your input. I guess Windows is just a worrisome thing for us Mac guys. Part of what always gets me is unknown code that goes into Windows. I did a Google the other day to see if I could get a feel for the "roots" of the upcoming Vista.
    Who knows what Vista is really based on -- a modification of NT that was in part based on DOS and VMS? From my limited experience, I am not sure there is enough shelf space to hold the manuals to run VMS successfully. Of course, why worry; Boot Camp and other things will change before Vista gets here.
    The bottom line is that I will use all the Windows security fixes.
    Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

  • Mac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

    IMac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Any tips? Thanks!

    Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. It's about a year and a half old. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) -- and I'm far from being an expert at any of this stuff, have seen a few different answers and not sure what to do. Help! Grateful.

    Okay, I am having a try at this. My machine wouldn't boot this morning again (like I said, it's erratic, so I then did a "safe boot" and restarted. This is what I think (I hope...) you want. Here's the first part, tho you'll see I am struggling with Part 2.

  • Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to use it?

    Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to have it work right?

    Netboot and Software Update, at its simplest.  Mac OS X Server also expects to have functional IP networking and DNS services (somewhere) on the LAN (and if you're behind a NAT gateway, then the DNS server(s) are on your LAN and not out at your ISP), or things get weird.  SUS (usually) works out of the box, outside of cases where there's an outbound firewall.  Netboot can be more effort to setup, in terms of what you're loading into the clients.

  • Snow leopard very sluggish in general.

    Since I upgraded to snow leopard on both of my machines they both have been extremely slow. Snow leopard claimed to be twice as fast, but I experience something that is 10 times as slow. I had no problems with Leopard.
    I have 2 macs:
    Mac Pro 8 cores 2.8 Ghz 16GB memory
    MacBook Pro 2 cores 2.8 Ghz 4 GB memory
    On the Mac Pro, the one with most CPU and memory, just a few minutes ago, right klicking on the activity control took several seconds before the menu popped up during which time the gui was completely frozen. The 2 most CPU intensive processes when I checked with top was VMWare at 177% (out of 800%) and top itself at 10%. At the time I'm runnging one finder, one shell window, firefox, apple mail, iTunes, 2 vmware machines (not being used at that moment), and NetBeans. I'm using around 25% memory. This is very typical. When I bought this mac and it ran Leopard it took me over 2 months before I saw the so called "Beachball" for the first time. I had no idea what people where speaking of when they mentioned the beachball. Now with Snow Leopard I get it all the time. Just moving the mouse it enough to make it show sometimes.
    On the MacBook Pro with just 2 cores and only 4 GB of memory it is totally unbearable. I'm a software developer and consultant and just doing a java compilation and reading mail at the same time is very difficult. When doing a GWT compilation the whole machine is completely unresponsive for about 20 minutes. Other project collegues running Dell and Lenovo lapptops with Windows XP (can only use 3GB!) actually gets better performance than me! This is really embarasing. I did not buy the MacBook Pro because it looks good. I bought it because I though it was a capable machine. Before Snow Leopard, it actually was.
    I've been hoping with every OS update that there is a fix for this, but so far nothing! I google on this problem at least once a week hoping to find some answer to this, but nothing so far (at least nothing that has worked).
    I keep the CPU usage window open at all time, but when the machine is very slugish it shows almost no CPU usage. I've come to realize that as soon as the CPU usage goes up relatively high the gui repsonse and window refresh goes down quite considerably.
    Am I the only one having these performance problems ? I see a lot of entries about the beachball in conjunction with firefox or safari, but I get it all the time. It is not specific to any application. And there is often extreme slugishnes even without the beachball showing, like my example above.
    This must be a software problem in Snow Leopard since I had no such problems with Leopard, and the machines have not changed.
    I've tried some suggestions found on the web, but the last I tried disabled the sound and provided no better performance. I undid that change and got the sound back again. But there seems to be no remedy for the performance problem.
    Is there an easy way to go back to Leopard again, without scratching and reinstalling the whole system ?
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Regards,
    Tommy Svensson

    Hi guys
    Thanks for your contributions. I have made little progress on this issue since posting.
    Just as added info, I did a re-install of Snow leopard from install DVD and upgrade again to 10.6.1 and no change to the startup behaviours. Same pattern as before, although the first restart was fast and probably how it is meant to be, then the slow ones reappeared.
    I also had a thought that somehow it may be related to the nominated startup disk. There were posts on other boards about similar issues with Leopard where the hanging start was found to be related to the computer not knowing which startup disk to use. I thought maybe as it works when using the boot camp icon from Windows but not the restart button, it may be related, but in OSX and Windows both are set to startup in OSX on HD. So no further joy.
    Maybe someone else will come along who can understand the Console logs. Why does the loginwindow and Security Agent take so long?
    Do you guys have any clues from your Console system logs? Does yours hang on loginwindow?
    The fact that there are so few people with the same problem suggests to me that there is a third party device/preference/ hidden file somewhere that is having an effect and it's not an Apple issue.
    I am getting close to wiping the hard drive and starting again....but live in hope.
    Cheers

  • I installed Mountain Lion on my Mac, I had Snow Leopard. Slow now

    I had Snow Leopard on my Mac and installed Mountian Lion. Installation went fine. Got Mail started on my computer since the program I had is no longer supported (lost all on it). Mail is showing the rainbow wheel a lot and "not responding" everyime. My computer is now running slow and seeing the rainbow wheel frequently. Any suggestions as to what I can do to help? Seriously wonderfing if I should go back to Snow Leopard? thank you!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • Snow leopard runs slow.

    i hate using it.  i am not a gamer - so email, internet and occasionally work related - word, excel, etc.  What can i do?

    Snow Leopard is the fastest OS X version still supported.
    It's faster than 10.5, 10.7 or 10.8.
    So that means there is a problem with your machine.
    Emergency backup procedure
    Drag and drop copy your users file folders (music, pictures, documents etc) to a regular external powered drive as soon as possible.
    Do not use, setup or trust only TimeMachine at this time. Unmount and Disconnect all external drives once the backup process is completed.
    If you have any over 4GB sized files, those won't copy to a standard formatted FAT32/MSDOS drive from the factory, if you need to save these 4GB+ files use another blank/empty drive and use Disk Utility to format it Option GUID format OS X Extended Journaled (or the standard default one for Mac's).
    Mac's  cannot copy to a NTFS formatted drive.
    I suggest you run through these user tips to identify the possible causes.

  • Snow Leopard running slow graphics after reinstallation

    Hey everyone,
    I have a very strange question. I've been using my Snow Leopard without any problems for quite some time, but a few days ago I decided it was time for a clean install. I installed the Snow Leopard without any problem, used Software Update to update to the latest version, and than I started noticing some graphic problems:
    1. Slow UI animations (i.e opening Applications Folder, Minimizing Using Gene Effect, etc.)
    2. QuickTime slowness - low fps when I tried playing a movie
    3. Adobe Flash problems - when I installed the latest version, Safari seemed to crash by the first sight of Flash on any site. I reinstalled since then and the pre-installed version seems to work
    4. In Desktop and Screensaver Preferences I am missing the Translucent Menu Bar option
    5. In System Profiler, under Display I have VRAM (Total): 32 MB
    It somewhat reminds of the problem described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3479
    Only that the resolution is to reinstall, which I did several times with the same DVD I had no problems with before, and nothing seemed to help.
    Any ideas how to resolve those problems (well I think they are all related) are appreciated since it is rendering my Snow Leopard pretty much unusable.
    Thanks in advance

  • Please Help- Snow Leopard SO SLOW!

    Hello-
    I upgraded to Snow Leopard a few weeks ago without any problems (this was done at an Apple Store and everything went fine). About a week ago, however, I noticed that Safari 4 was constantly crashing and supremely slow. I decided to get rid of it and use Demeter. All was fine.
    For the past few days, now, EVERYTHING is unbelievably slow! Whether opening an application, a document or just clicking on something- I immediately see the spinning colorful wheel; it can easily take 3 minutes for any application to open or a minute for words to type on the screen. I have plenty of memory and not many other applications than what Snow Leopard came with!
    I am almost in tears- the degree of slowness has infiltrated everything on my Macbook and I can barely open files, applications or work online. I've even scrapped Demeter and tried going back to Safari, but nothing works.
    I am at my wits end. Snow Leopard is supposed to be faster, yet my Tiger worked better than this and I'm almost to the point where even VISTA is looking pretty good! HELP. HELP. PLEASE HELP. Please don't let me lose my faith in Mac!
    Is my only option to scrap everything and reinstall Snow Leopard? Is there any other solution? Did any one else have this problem?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Well. Everyone. Things have become exponentially worse. Indeed, not only was I faced with the 'spinny wheel of death' (apparently, this term has even been coined already), but I was also hit with the 'Blue Screen of Death;' I tried a soft reboot (I think that's what it's called when you press the SHIFT key) and then restarted it normally to get it off the Blue Screen of Death.
    Last night, my computer and I had a talk and it said to me: "Hi Yana- remember that time you looked at me the wrong way? Yah. Well. I do. Payback time."
    As such, my computer and I are no longer on speaking terms. Currently, I am at the Apple Store waiting for the verdict. Oh yes, I came in with streaming, rolling tears as soon as the doors opened.
    I'm HOPING they figure something out. Also- I noticed last night that certain things could not be verified whilst running Disk Verification AND (this morning) it tried to update iTunes and could not finish the update because of a verification problem? I don't know. I'm about to give up on life, lol.
    In any case, I must thank you all so very much for the advice and encouragement- you guys may singlehandedly restore my faith in the mac-ers. I will let everyone know what happens in the Apple Store (it may help someone in the future).

  • How do I install Lion on an MBP with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Boot Camp'd XP and a Master Boot Record?

    I think this is called "a pickle."
    The machine is a 13" MacBook Pro, 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo w/ 4 GB RAM and a 500 GB HDD.
    The HDD has a Snow Leopard 10.6.8 partition, and a Windows XP partition, via Boot Camp.  Its Partition Map Scheme, sadly, is a Master Boot Record. I need to reformat it to a GUID Partition Table scheme to install Lion, but when I attempt to boot it from the Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD to wipe the drive, it grey-screens.  Dead end.
    From what I can gather on the forums, I can't boot a 10.6.8 machine using a Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD.  I can't find my grey DVDs for this machine – still looking for those – but I expect those won't work either, being Leopard-generation?
    The machine works fine, for the most part, including the optical drive.  Has occassional display and wake glitches.  Its HDD is backed up on a Drobo via Time Machine.  I also have a 15" MBP Core i7 (with the exact same problem: 10.6.8, XP, MBR) which I can use for Target Disk Mode via FireWire.  If I try to wipe the HDD on the 13", using Disk Utility on the 15" via Target Disk Mode, will the 13" then boot successfully from the Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD?
    I just want to wipe the 13" machine, reinstall a fresh copy of Snow Leopard, then update it to Lion and restore from Time Machine, and never touch anything Windows-related ever again. (And then do the same for my 15", for which I've found my 10.6.3 grey disc. Not sure if that's any more promising.)
    Any help appreciated!

    Sounds like something is wrong with your disk. Have you tried cleaning it?
    The Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD is fine – it mounts on both my 13" and 15", and I successfully created an image of it on my 15".  I also tried my wife's Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD, also clean, which produced the same grey screen result.
    Have you tried to use boot camp to erase the Windows partition?
    Yep, this is supposed to be the proper way to remove a Windows XP partition from Boot Camp, so this was the first thing I tried.  I get the same error as everyone with a Master Boot Record scheme appears to get:
    The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
    Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) volume.  Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
    So, if I can't launch the Disk Utility from the Snow Leopard DVD, my next best guess is wiping it from my 15" over Target Disk Mode.  However, if I try that, and still can't get it to boot from the Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD, then I'm stuck with an MBP without an OS.
    My conclusion – that 10.6.0 DVDs can't boot to 10.6.8 machines – was based on forum posts about downgrading from Lion.  I was wondering if there's a way to create a "10.6.8 restore DVD," and try booting from that.  Shot in the dark perhaps.
