Systemd suddenly became slow at booting up

Hi! This is gonna be a long post, sorry
I've been messing around with this problem for too long time, so i know really need your help
The facts:
1) since, i guess, a month, my netbook takes 10seconds more to boot. I was used to have something near 12s. and *yesterday* i had a 23s bootup.
2) I wrote "yesterday" because today:
systemd-analyze blame
19837ms NetworkManager.service
17262ms psd.service
2815ms wpa_supplicant.service
2027ms systemd-logind.service
1476ms dev-sda2.swap
751ms tmp.mount
692ms systemd-udev-trigger.service
650ms systemd-udevd.service
426ms systemd-user-sessions.service
424ms polkit.service
232ms verynice.service
155ms systemd-sysctl.service
Psd.service is triggered by a TIMER unit, 30s after startup (well, after 30s i've always already been with my desktop full loaded...so it took 4-5seconds maximum to load that).
NetworkManager is getting me crazy: yesterday it took 21-22s to load. Today, I noticed that even my "home" laptop is taking more time to bootup, 21s instead of about 13s before. And over there NetworkManager.service takes 9s now. But then i recalled about /etc/uder/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules. So i managed to kill that rule, by fixing my scripts. Everything went fine, and my NetworkManager.service now takes 5s (on my home laptop), and bootup takes 15s.
But, doing the same thing on my netbook, drove me to that "blame" posted before. No gain, it seems. And now my systemd is slow as hell to bootup (on netbook), "systemd-analyze" says 33s  (but it reached even 55s on another boot).
3) I have testing repo enabled on both machines.
4) From "systemd-analyze plot" it seems that both machines are doing nothing for about 4-5s. This is the plot from my home laptop: http://postimage.org/image/hfymnd6v5/full/.
On the other hand, on my netbook, there are 256 "sys-devices-virtual-tty-tty*.device" ...but on the home-laptop plot there aren't. See here: http://postimage.org/image/evh4rbgmt/full/ . (can't upload it bigger, but you see there are lots of "lines" that shouldn't be there....)
Any idea? Hope i've been clear and thorough enough.
Thanks!
EDIT: i now noticed that even on my brother's netbook there are those "sys-devices-virtual-tty-tty*". He has a ssd, so it takes 5s to boot anyway. Both installation are old (systemd < 190), while my home laptop installation has 2 weeks.

hi rossclark13693,
Welcome to the Forums.
If the Ideacentre K430 didn't came with an mSATA SSD as your boot drive, try to:
1. Run Disk Defragmenter to fix fragmented boot files that's slowing down the PC.
2. If the boot time is still slow, you may want to check the disk for consistency.  You can use HD Tune and run an error scan on the drive.
Let me know your findings.

  • My Macbook Pro suddenly became really slow

    3 Days ago my Macbook Pro suddenly became really slow. I can't run anything without my computer freezing. I've had my Macbook Pro since mid-2012 (21 months). The first thing i did was check my activity monitor, which said that I was apparently using 4 GB (half) of my Macbook Pro's RAM, even though nothing was running. The process that was using the most RAM was kernal.task, which was only around 600mb of RAM. All the processes RAM amounts only added up to around 1 GB,  not four. I can't even open safari without my computer freezing. The amount of RAM being "used" on my computer slowly started to increase, even though nothing was running, until it got to all 8 GB being used. When i restart my computer, it goes back to 4 GB and starts to rise again. My processor, on the other hand, is doing nothing. Its acting normally. How do i get my computer back to its usual performance?
    Hardware Specifications
    13-inch Mid-2012 Macbook Pro
    Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    750 GB HDD
    OS X 10.9.2

    Since you are using Mavericks OS, the amount of RAM being used is inconsequential but the 'pressure' is.  If green is showing then the RAM usage is normal.  This is a change fro prior OSX's.
    The usual problem will lie with the HDD,  It may be too full or needs to be repaired or replaced.  Go into OSX recovery and select from the 4 option menu Disk Utility.  Choose First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    (Start the MBP with the OPTION key down and select the recovery partition)
    If that does not solve the problem, try a safe boot:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    If the MBP responds 'normally' that usually indicates that there is a third part application that is causing the problem.  They have to bedeleted and reinstalled in a systematic way so that you can identify the culprit.
    Ciao.

  • Mac suddenly became very slow on OS-X

    Problem description:
    Machine became suddenly very slow only on OS-X. Checked with Linux and works ok.
    Detailed description:
    On December 31th machine begun to behave abnormally slow.  Long waits between keystrokes and the character appearance on the screen and the coloured spinning wheel appeared very often. The machine appeared to hang from time to time, applications and internet were completely unresponssive.  I decided to make clean install of Yosemite using its recovery. The recovery took longer than 16  hours and after this the machine was in the same state as before. In order to debug the problem I decided to use a Linux distribution and I booted its live dvd. On Linux everything went smooth, all application and operations were responsive, no hiccups.
    I drove the conclusion that the issue is related either to the software in OS-X or there is some hidden state/settings on the machine that is causing the issue.
    It cannot be on the hard drive because I have repartitioned it and made a clean install so there must be something in the firmware.
    Problem description:
    Random hangs on the computer. Everything becomes unresponsive, spinning wheel appear every 3-4 seconds and keystrokes are echoed with a 4-5 seconds delay. I suspect that it is a software problem as it is happening only on OS-X as I have booted a live Linux distro and everything works ok hence I drove the conclusion that there might be something related to the system state in OS-X.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. 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. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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.
    6. 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 section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. 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 the browser window, 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.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. 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 and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. 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 don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take 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. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. 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 what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. 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.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try 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.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    2. 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.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) 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. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. 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.
    5. 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 section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. 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 the browser window, 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.
    7. 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.
    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.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. 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 don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take 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. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. 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 the results. No harm will be done.
    11. 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.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Hi, internet on my Mac (OS10.9.1) suddenly became very slow.  Could anyone help me to figure it out the problem?  Thanks.

    Hi internet on my Mac(OS10.9.1) suddenly became very slow.  Could somebody help me?  Thanks.

    Try resetting everything:
    power down everything: modem, router, and computer
    power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, and computer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next.

  • 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.

  • IMac suddenly slow after boot-up

    Hello!
    I've had my iMac for about two years now (mid 2011 model), never formatted it, re-installed or anything.
    Since about a month, all of a sudden, I've had issues with it, being pretty slow to boot. At first it takes about 30-40 seconds for it to actually boot, which isn't horrible but yet slower than it has been. Nothing strange of course. But then when it is actually booted up, everything runs real slow. Loading up Safari can take about 2-4 minutes depending on my mood (when I'm easily annoyed it usually takes longer time). Getting the mail to sync takes ages. And well, launching just about anything takes a fair amount of time longer than it has before. This eases away with the first 10-15 minutes of usage and goes back to normal by then.
    Looking through the processes and stuff I'm usually running on about 90-98% unallocated processing power. About 9 GB free ram (out of 12 totally).
    I'm running Mac on my job as well, where we use Mac Pros which are about 5 years old, we've never re-installed them or anything, they boot pretty slow, but they doesn't have this slow "directly after boot-up"-feeling as my iMac does.
    To a friend using Windows, I'd suggest this as a non-hardware issue. Since Windows usually does that. But I've never had such sever problems on any mac.
    I'm using Lion (10.7.5) and are planning to get Maverick when it's released, but I sort of want to resolve this first. If it doesn't mean I should actually re-install and start from scratch, which means I could wait for Mavericks before bothering.
    Suggestions?

    Checked to see how much space is available ??
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow your Mac down.
    Checked the startup disk lately? You should do this before upgrading the system regardless.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    FYI:   OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection.
    Backup all your important files before repairing or restoring OS X just in case.

  • Gmail IMAP suddenly became super slow and folders started disappearing and reappearing - what can I do?

    I've been using Thunderbird as an IMAP client for Gmail for about 2 years without any problems. Three days ago I saw for the first time the following message at startup: "Unable to load address book file abook-9.mab. It may be read-only, or locked by another application. Please try again later." Subsequent restarts produced the same message, except the abook number would change to abook-12, abook-10, abook-7, etc. Eventually I gave up and continued using Thunderbird. Performance was suddenly super slow. When I tried to move a message from the Inbox to a folder, the message didn't move; I tried twice more, nothing. So I went to look at the folder, and I got the dreaded message (I'm sorry I don't recall the exact wording) "Unable to access local folder [folder] - [something other possible reason] or your hard drive may be full". But if I would just leave this folder selected, eventually the contents would appear. I tried downloading all my folders for offline use, but after an hour or so they all disappeared. Fortunately, I didn't panic; a few minutes later, they started appearing again. The folders were still present in my local directory, but their contents were all gone: The size of my Mail directory went from 3.85 GB to 107 MB and never fully recovered.
    So I went online and started searching. I deleted all the .msf files. Same behavior. I deleted the SystemConfiguration folder on my MacBook. Same behavior. I restored my Profiles and Mail directories with their backups from the day before the trouble started. Same behavior.
    And just as I was about to start screaming, I restored the Profiles and Mail directories with their backups from 2 weeks before the trouble started. So far things appear to be going well.
    I looked at bug 495911 and bug 893786, but I had already tried most of the things people suggested, so I decided to open a new question. One thing that caught my eye is the recommendation to replace the potentially corrupted file 'panacea.dat' with an earlier version. Is it possible that the 'panacea.dat' file from the day before the problem started was already corrupted and that's why I had to go back to 2 weeks before?
    Fortunately, none of the folders or messages were deleted on my online Gmail account (as far as I can tell), but this has definitely been a very frustrating experience...

    Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.
    - Win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
    - Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
    - XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx
    Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

    Does the problem go away?

  • Suddenly VERY Slow Internet On Macbook Pro

    My MacBook Pro is less than a year old, running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. A few days ago, the internet suddenly became very, VERY slow. My computer says it is receiving a full signal, and my girlfriend's computer (a Dell, I might add) is on the same wireless network and is working great. I have tried everything suggested to me when searching for the problem online: I've reset my router and modem (but again, my girlfriend's computer is working well on the very same connection and my MacBook claims to be getting a full signal), checked for software updates, emptied Safari's cache, reset Safari, disabled plug-ins, tried Chrome and Firefox (the problem persisted), scanned for a DNS changer and viruses/spyware (the scan came up clean), added open DNS servers, reset my TRAM, repeaired disk permissions and have restarted throughout this process. I cannot trace this changed internet speed to anything - I have no idea what has caused it or how to fix it. Please help!

    Hi...
    Try Starting up in Safe Mode
    That deletes system caches that may help. A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop click the Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
    If that didn't help, try uninstalling Sophos >  http://help.bol.ucla.edu/app/answers/detail/a_id/879
    Then try your browsers. It could be the security software that's slowing your browsers down.
    If that helps, you could try a different anti virus software such as ClamXav. It's free and Lion v10.7 compatible.

  • What causes a macbook pro to suddenly become slow?

    I have only had my macbook pro for a year. Well recently it suddenly became very slow to the point where every few seconds the spinning beach ball looking thing came up (loading icon)... and it would stay there for a good 15 seconds then go away for like 5 seconds... what causes this?!?!?! and what can fix it??!?!
    HELP!!!!! It also has 350gb left of hard drive space and 2gb of ram... whats the issue

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below 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 icon grid.
    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
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    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 this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • IMac - slow to boot, bluetooth not found.

    System:
    iMac 24" (Early 2009) 2.66GHz
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory (upgraded from original 4GB with 3rd party memory about 4 years ago)
    Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB Disk (upgraded from original 640GB about 2 years ago)
    NVIDIA GeForge 9400
    OS X: 10.10.1
    The issue began about 3 months ago when my mother-in-law had the machine. According to her, the machine became very slow to boot (taking from 20min to over 1 hour) and her wireless mouse was not working. Fortunately she was already using a wired keyboard and had a spare wired mouse, so she was able to use the machine. Other than the slow boot and mouse issue, the system was stable.  We decided to replace her machine in any case, primarily because it's not easily serviceable - especially where she lives (rural Alabama). I took the machine back (it had been mine originally). At that point it was running 10.8.5.
    I observed the following:
    1) The system was, indeed, very slow to boot as she described.
    2) None of the bluetooth devices were working.
    3) The bluetooth device shows as "No information found" in the System Information report
    4) Bluetooth preferences were not visible in system preferences.
    5) Coincident with her first report or problems, the following messages began appearing in the system logs:

    Though she originally had external peripherals attached, all have been removed - the only things plugged into any USB or Firewire port are the keyboard and mouse.
    So, that's how the machine was when I got it back... I have tried the following:
    1) First I tried AHT - booting from the original disks provided with the system (AHT version 3A170). AHT hung while probing system hardware; it just stalled for several hours (I think I let it try overnight, only to return to see no progress). I've tried AHT a couple of times through this ordeal and can never get to the point where I can even initiate the test.
    2) I tried removing the bluetooth preferences file.
    3) I tried resetting NVRAM
    4) I tried resetting SMC
    5) I've booted in verbose mode, but nothing really stood out as clearly (or even vaguely) indicating a problem.
    People did suggest booting in "safe" mode - thought it was never clear what I was supposed to do after that. In any case, an attempt to boot in safe mode caused the machine to just reboot itself. I even set safe mode in the boot-args and sat back and watched as the machine consistently rebooted itself each time... about 7 or 8 times before I got sick of hearing the boot chime. I did have verbose mode turned on in boot-args as well, an each time it rebooted at the same point, while initializing drivers. Interestingly, booting in "normal" mode has never been an issue - save for the exceptional amount of time it takes.
    Since the data on the disk was of no use to me, I created a 10.10.1 install package on a USB stick and installed fresh - verifying and reformatting the hard drive before performing the install. The installation was uneventful (i.e. worked just like it should).
    So, now I am running 10.10.1 and still no Bluetooth. I tried the AHT again and again it gets hung probing the hardware and I can't even initiate the test. I even tried a suggestion from another thread (hold ctl-shift-option and the power button for about 6 sec while the power is off)... that had worked for a number of folks but not for me.
    One other piece of info I just confirmed while writing this, 0x6100000 is the Location ID associated with the BRCM2046 Hub - i.e. the Bluetooth device. Why this shows up as a hub on the USB Bus but the device itself doesn't appear to exist is confusing. I certainly would expect to see this as a USB hub on a correctly functioning system, it's just confusing why it's there when the underlying bluetooth device is not recognized.
    So, I am pretty much convinced it's a hardware issue of some kind - given this is a "spare" Mac that I was simply trying to re-purpose to host a film scanner that requires a FireWire interface, I am not sure how much I want to invest financially in getting this resolved. I have heard that Apple no longer services these machines, but I could be wrong...  As I see it my options are kind of limited:
    1) Take it to a repair facility (even if Apple doesn't work on them, there are at least 2 places near by that do) and pay them $$ just to tell me that it's going to be $$$ fix it.
    2) Get my hands dirty, open this thing up and see if I can fix it.
    I'm leaning towards option 2, but I am really reluctant to go on a fishing expedition. Based on what I have observed, it seems to be a problem with the bluetooth module itself, and as I understand it that is a separate part from the main logic board... which means that I can replace it for about $35 and the cost of the right tools; which all together total about the same amount as the "diagnostic" fee any local repair shop would charge. If it's not that, then it's the logic board and the best price I can find for that puts it in the "not worth the trouble" category anyway. I don't want to rule out some other component - memory, disk drive, or power supply... but any of those, at least to me, seem like the kind of components which would cause more erratic behavior when they fail.
    So, what's my question - simple ... have I missed something here. Before I perform open heart surgery are there any last tricks I can try or is my conclusion that this must be a hardware problem pretty solid?

    If your EHDs are formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and your using them as normal EHDs you don't need all of the WD software installed. The OS can use the disks without it.  Uninstall all of the WD software:

  • Oracle Database suddenly very slow!

    Hello,
    After running our Oracle 10g instance on Red Hat Enterprise for more than two years without an itch it suddenly became extremely slow. A simple query that would take a few seconds now takes an hour to complete! It is not the network since the same happens from a local console.
    I checked the log files on bdump and cdump but couldn't see anything wrong.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance.

    hi,
    do you perform the following
    execute dbms_stats.gather_system_stats ('Start');
    let the system do some typical work
    execute dbms_stats.gather_system_stats ('Stop');
    try running this and see what happens.
    could you also post back some
    vmstat 10 13
    under typical work load and also some
    sar figures

  • WebDav suddenly very slow

    Today, WebDav became suddenly very slow on my iMac running the latest version of Mavericks. Yesterday everything was OK.
    When I try WebDav from my iPad things are OK, so I suspect something is wrong on my iMac. I already tried rebooting and resetting PRAM and VRAM.
    Does anyone have a good suggestion?

    Hello,
    Check to see how much free disk space there is. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
    Check the hard disk for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
