Why do it take so long for my macbook to boot up

why does it take so long for my macbook to boot up

Well, I found a series of steps somewhere on the Apple support site (or forums) but I don't remember exactly where. I have times where the backup of my 16GB iPhone 3G takes 5 hours or more to complete. I have found that in my case, it is all related to one app that I have which I also tend to crash quite often. The more it crashes, the longer the backup takes. I can remove that one app from the phone before I sync and the backup will complete in less than a minute.
I don't have all the details on the steps I originally found, since I now know what causes my issue. Basically, the steps had you configure iTunes to not automatically sync when you connect your device. Then you connect the device and right mouse button click on it. In that menu you do something but I don't exactly remember what. It has to do with the crash/error reports that are stored on the phone. You probably need to clear those crash reports out and then sync your phone on a regular/frequent basis to keep them cleared out.

Why does it take so long for my MacBook Pro to start?

When I start up my MacBook, it takes a good minute or two for the gray screen to go away. Is this normal, or is there something I can do to speed up the process?

try this - go to system preferences and select your hard drive as the start up drive - even if it's already selected, select it again and restart your macbook.
if that doesn't work - do a SMC RESET and see if it improves the way your Macbook performs.
while you're at it - once you're up and running - open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - if errors are found, repair them and restart your Macbook and see if that makes it perform faster for you.
also see how much disk space you've got left. when you're close to full, it's normal for your macbook to slow down.
good luck - hope those tips helps you out.

Why does it take soooo long for my mac to boot?

I have an Early 2011 15 in macbook pro with the 2.2 i7, and the hi-res screen, and I upgraded my memory to 8gb about a year ago.
Recently if I restart/cold boot my computer it takes over 6 minutes for me to see the login screen. But I can sign in normally and it runs just fine.
It started happening after I restarted from playing a game in boot camp. But I can boot into windows in the same time I normally could before.
I tried resetting the PRAM, the hardware test, booted into safe mode, checked my hard drive with disk utility, did a virus scan, and it all says Im good.
Anyone have any other suggestions???
Thanks!

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
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.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Why does it take so long for my macbook to come to life when I open the cover, since upgrading to yosemite

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite it seems to take forever for my screen to come up when I open my MackBook Pro 13" (Mid 2010 model) I don't mean bouts I mean when I lift the screen.

Why does it take so long for my wireless printer to start printing from my MacBook?

Why does it take so long for my wireless printer (HP Photosmart C4700) to start printing from my MacBook?
It seems to take about 3 minutes to spool up printing from any program on my MacBook, but it will start instantly with my iPhone.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Good Afternoon Geraldine,
I understand you are wondering why you did not receive an email receipt instantly for an iBook purchase made on March 2nd. Is this the first time you've noticed a delay? I would suggest contacting the iTunes Support team to report the issue. With your permission, they can access your account and possibly shed some light on this particular transaction.

Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time. What should I do next besides wait?

Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

Well several different versions at different resolutions are saved to the library so it can be played on different devices. If you don't need this you can speed things up a bit but disabling save to theatre.

Why does it take so long for Firefox to load?

Why does it take so long for Firefox to launch at initial start up? It usually takes 3 or 4 minutes. IE loads within a few seconds.

Reset the homepage to something else, or do not use a home page at all.

Why does it take so long for my iTunes gift card to come?

I normally have to send the card over and over again to my daughters account and it takes her 2 hours to et it. Why does it take so long?

I don't think that anyone here can answer that question. We are not Apple employees and would not know what the actual process is that takes place when you send a gift card. I don't think that is totally unusual for the card to take a couple of hours to go through, but like I said, I don't know what the behind the scenes process is that is involved.
Why you have to keep sending the card is another matter but maybe it has something to do with your email provider and a delay on the server.

HT201328 Why does it take so long for Apple to unlock an iPhone 3GS.

I have been trying to unlock my iPhone 3GS whrough my provider since 31st August, and they are still waiting for a information from Apple. Why does it take so long? Surely this will put people (i.e. me) from getting another iPhone in the future.

The carrier unlocks the phones... once the carrier officially unlocks they send an email to apple... Apple's database picks up this info from the imei number... it's all done computerized. Apple has nothing to do with unlocking whatsoever!
The contract is between the customer and the carrier. It would be illegal for apple to unlock a phone considering Apple is not a part of any contract!
Apple is a manufactor and support for their products... not a carrier!
Carriers push this crap on Apple when they know good and well they are the ones who unlock! Customers can call Apple to see if it's unlocked, but it's a database... they have no way of unlocking or locking phones!

Why does it take so long for a home video to buffer?

I recorded a video on my canon digital camera, transferred it to my iMac and then tried to watch it on my TV with my Apple TV, but a 3 min. Video took about 10 to 15 min. To buffer. It finally played. Now I'm waiting on the next on to finish buffer, and play. It's 10 min. long and it's been buffering for about 30 min. Why does it take so long?

Not on the LAN - traditionally internet speeds were rate limiting - these days it's possible the LAN connection is especially with multiple wifi signal paths.
Unless some app is transcoding the camera video on the fly I'd be surprised if LAn slownwss alone would cause these issues.
What's the camera and what is the recorded video format?

Why does it take so long for uploaded photos to appear in the photos folder?

It takes too long for uploaded photos to appear in the photos folders. I do not like the "new" photos. I much prefer iPhoto. Can I make iPhoto my default or am I stuck with this stupid Photos??? Editing is lousy, too.

Can I make iPhoto my default or am I stuck with this stupid Photos?
You can continue using iPhoto depending on what version your have? Currently the only version that runs with 10.10.3 is iPhoto 9.6.1. What version do you have? Also do you have a backup copy of your iPhoto library made just prior to upgrading to 10.10.3?
