Starting my computer last too much

Since I downloaded OS X Lion to start my computer every time I turned it on or restart, it last to much, almost the time Windows need to start.
Anybody knows how to fix this, if I have to format something...?
Thanks in advance!

Try restarting it from the install disc, then run Disk Utility and repair permissions and also repair the disk.
Please let us know how things work out,
Miriam

Won't start properly because of too much stuff on desktop - how do I delete stuff if it won't start up now?

I was trying to move photos to an external hard drive because my startup disk was full and I accidentally dropped them onto the desktop. Now my computer won't start properly because of all the stuff on the desktop and I don't know how I can fix that?

Start up in safe mode. Hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting and check that you can start up in safe mode. Then, choose all the items you want to transfer in Desktop by pressing Command and A keys, and move them to the external drive.
If you have any file in Desktop that you don't want to transfer, simply click it while pressing the Command key

How can I permanently remove plugin-container? It slows the system too much.

plugin-container slows my computer down too much.
I remove it using Task manager, but it keeps coming back.
How can I permanently remove it short of changing to the Google Browser?

See this support article. It tells you how you can disable Out of Process Plugins. <br />

2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

Hi, all.
Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

TS1717 What do I have to do to keep the iTUNES program on my computer BUT NOT RUNNING on Start UP? It requires too much CPU usage on my old computer.

What do I have to do to keep the iTUNES loaded as a program on my computer BUT NOT RUNNING on Start UP? Just opening when I want to use it.
It requires too much CPU usage on my old computer.

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

What does iTunes FORCE YOU to download the last version of their software to use their store? The new program is too much for my computer!

This totally *****...iTunes 10 is too much of a memory hog for my POS computer. I have to turn off all other apps just to use it and even then it still runs SLOW. I think iTunes = Extorition. Why force us to use it? They just want to track your personal data. That's pretty evil. The best iTunes version for my computer was iTunes 7. But it won't let me use store on iTunes 7. F@#$*%s!
Instead of making the program more streamlined, they make the next version LARGER FILE SIZE and more of a memory hog.
Apple should be making each successive version a SMALL FILE SIZE and less of a drain on memory.

Windows doesn't defrag on the fly, you have to run anti-virus all the time. The PC vendor installs all their "crapware" on the machine too.
Also most PC's don't come with hardly any RAM neither, most people don't know computer specs, don't know how to look up their prospetive machine on the internet and see if they are getting their money's worth.
Microsoft is a enemy too, they allow "toolbars" Acive X and purposely bloat their operating system so it forces you to buy a new one.
At least with iTunes you have a choice to buy your music ANYWHERE, you could have kept on using iTunes 7, just you would have had to buy your music via cd's or another website like Amazon etc.
Microsoft has really bloated down the last few updates of Windows, I replaced all the old Dells with 512MB of RAM and 16 year old single core Cellerons with copies of Linux Like XP so the seniors at a local center can still get on the internet if they need too.
Still even with that the last few updates of Linux have been a bit rough for those old machines, but for the net that's good enough.
LOL!

Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer - bla, b

In the last week or so, my iMac (Intel CoreDuo) started displaying an error message every 30 seconds saying "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled", followed by some other useless "explanations" (which BTW can't even be copy/pasted). This has happened before (for about a year now) at every startup, but that was more acceptable; now that the message comes every 30 seconds it renders this machine unusable.
I tried it with or without any USB accessories attached, with or without powered hubs attached, I reset the PRAM and SMC and reinstalled the OS twice. The only option I have left is to trow this machine out and buy a new one (believe me, it's not going to be a Mac).
This shows not only the lack of quality of the hardware (crappy logic board and USB ports) but also a complete disregard for the annoyance these constant popping messages create to the end user when designing the OS. Just while writing this message I had to press the OK button about 10 times. It's AWFUL!!!

Hi cimula. before you turn to the extremes have you tried reinstalling snow leopard. maybe you had a problem occur when it was originally installed and is missing a driver or something. also take it to an apple store if possible. take everything needed to run the imac and show one of the geniuses the problem and 90% of the time if you are nice and calm they will gladly help and diagnose the problem even if it is out of warranty. no promises it will be free it could be a hardware malfuntion. just dont force your self back to pc once all of the problems are gone you will love it again. i switched from pc which i had been using my whole life after a friend showed me his macbook and have never looked back. of course once and a while there will an error, problem or whatever but is it worth switching to a pc which has to have a security program running 24/7 to stay alive and sucking up all of the cpu and slowing you down? hope i am helping Dean

T400 takes too much time to start or shutdown

I got a lenovo thinkpad T400, everything seems to be fine but lot of issues.
1. It takes too much time to start or shutdown (I purchased 2GB turbo memory along with the system for $50, but no use).My system is slower than 2.2 GHz(mine is 2.53GHz)
2.Fingerprint Reader: When I tried to login using my fingerprint reader it gives an error message "computer is locked only authorized user can login", when we need to type in Password every time, why Finger print reader is used ?
Connectivity: All laptops around can see all networks but not mine, my system couldn't see any networks. Why ?
4. System strucks suddenly staying irresponsible for while.!!!!!!!!!!!
When I tried to talk to CSR, they instructed to format my system using the CD's which they are going to send.When I tried to do so; an error message occurred when I inserted second CD ,that "please insert suitable/matchable(don't remember exactly) CD.
I have other question; the CD's sent by lenovo are not AUTO PLAYABLE ?

what if you press your blue thinkvantage button during startup? does it take you to the recovery partition?

"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.

Here is the total error message:
"Because a USB devce was drawing too much power from your computer, one
or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much
power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled.
When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB
devices will be enabled again."
Now in contrast to every other thread on this i get this error message eveytime i connect my soundcard (interface). Not when i start up the mac or anything, just when i connect the sound card. (the soundcard does not have its own power source but note that this has never happened before and i have had this soundcard for about a year!)
It deactivates so i cannot use it.
I have tried:
Connecting the soundcard to my mothers mac -> it worked!
Connecting an external harddrive to my mac -> it worked!
so basically, i can't be the soundcard or the cable and it cannot be the mac USB port?
I don't know what to do! i really need this to work! anyone got an idea??

Apps taking up too much space on my computer harddrive?

Hi guys,
Whenever I hook my iPad & iPhone up to iTunes it automatically starts to upload all of the apps from both devices onto my computer. This wouldn't be such a problem, but between the iPhone and the iPad, it takes up around 40 GB of space from apps all by themselves. I store music/videos on an external harddrive so I'm not completely starved for harddrive space but I was wondering if someone could tell me what I can do to keep my iPad/iPhone apps from eating up too much space on my computer?
Seems like I should be able to avoid having the iPhone/iPad (I use both) upload and backup all of my apps to my computer through iTunes but I also tried doing a backup straight ti iCloud and it didn't do the trick.
Does anyone have any answers on this please? Thanks.

400 apps taking up 13.6Gb so I get an estimate of 1,175 (wow I have some bulky apps!) but 40Gb sounds like quite a haul.
A couple of things come to mind. First is that occasionally iTunes can neglect to delete the old copy when apps are updated so you could have some orphaned files in your Mobile Applications folder.
Second, your apps should be stored in the same location as your music and movies but I'm guessing from what you've written that they're not. This means you are likely to have a split library with the database and supporting files on your internal drive and media in another folder, but in the old school layout. Assuming you are happy letting iTunes organize your files (and you have a backup) using File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>, followed by File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files will sort that out. You'll have to delete the now redundant copies of the apps on your internal drive. The good news is that this will have dealt with any orphaned apps.
In the long term you might want to consider making your library portable.
Note switching to iCloud backup should not remove any content from your computer. I suspect purchases still get transferred when syncing but I've not tested it.

Karnel task taking too much Real Memory & Battery not lasting long.

Hello,
I've noticed under my Activity Monitor that Karnel_Task is taking too much "real memory".
Also, I just bought a new battery because the original that came with my computer was dying too fast.
Well, this new one lasts just a little longer. I believe that is something else that is eating up the battery.

I bought a new 13 macbook pro with 4gb and would like to get aperture 3.4.3. Will it require too much ram for my computer? Thanks

I just bought a macbook pro 13" with 4gb and would like to get aperture on it. Will aperture require too much ram for my computer? Thanks for any support.

I just bought a macbook pro 13" with 4gb
I have been using Aperture on such a system, and it was o.k. with Snowleopard and moderately sized images. After I upgraded to Lion and started to user larger image files - 30 MB tiffs, I saw the occasional beachball spinning. You should be prepared to quit other applications that will hog the RAM (like Safari), when working with Aperture on Lion or Mt. Lion with only 4 GB. If you can, follow Frank Caggiano's recommendation and upgrade to 8GB. It will make a large difference.

Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. I am using windows XP pro and a pretty decent computer. All software is up to date and i do no have a virus. I have even tried to disable my add-ons and plug-ins but it did not make a difference. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

Do the issues still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails? Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning?? I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got a big backlog.

It will not automatically delete any emails; you will need to do that. You may suffer performance issues in Mail if you let your mailboxes become too bloated. And, aside from Mail, the files take up a lot of room are photos, videos, and music, so you might want to watch those - every once in a while, check how much hard drive space you have and make sure you empty the trash regularly. Checking your hard drive space: highlight your Macintosh HD icon on the desktop; hit Command + I and check the total capacity, and how much is left.
