Why It takes almost a minute after chime for apple logo to appear on my MBP
Why does it take almost a minute after chime for apple logo to appear in my MBP
Have you recently replaced your drive or RAM? If so, try resetting your PRAM. This is a common problem after replacement. After I replaced my drive, when I first turned my machine on I thought I screwed up the drive replacment since the Apple logo didn't come up... thankfully it eventually came up. After resetting the PRAM, it booted as quickly as it had previously. I've had this happen on two machines:

Mac OS X 10.10.3: First connect takes almost 1 Minute
Freedome 1.0.1565.0Freedome Server Sachsen, DEMac OS X 10.10.3Macbook 13" early 2011 Hi all, after rebooting or after sleep wake it takes almost 1 minute that Freedome activates a secured connection via my wifi. Any chance that you guys speed up the connecting phase? Thanks.
I also remembered a trick that worked for me on my home network (Windows 7, 10.6.3). I renamed the Windows 7 WokGroup name to a custom name. Then on my 10.6.3 machine I went into System Preferences->Network, Advanced button, WINS tab and put in the new WORKGROUP name and in the box bellow I added the Windows 7 IP. After about 5 minutes the Windows 7 appeared in my Finder's sidebar and I could connect using my Windows login name & password. However it would disappear upon ejecting the mounted share but I could still Command+K to it.
On the windows 7 I am not using the Windows 7 "HomeGroup" but an only doing simple file sharing.
Plus read this Apple thread and try some of the hints there. -
When I try to open a file with TextEdit, I get the spinning beachball and the file takes almost a minute to open. When I just start TextEdit everything is fine. Also when I log on with another account TextEdit works like a charm, even when opening an existing file.
What I have done so far:
checked permissions in Disk Utility
validated all fonts
deleted all canon printer drivers
deleted all preferences
Nothing has helped. Mail shows the same behavior as TextEdit. What else can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.drwx------ 2 admin staff - 68 29 Jan 12:16 Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook

Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100% charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old and don't want to buy a new one if this problem will continue to happen. Help
Do not let the battery drop to 0%. That is very damaging for a lithium based battery, as in the iPad. Charge at any time, for any amount.

If your iMac came with or is running Lion, startup holding either the Command-R keys or the Option key and select the recovery partition and then use Disk Utility to repair the Macintosh HD.
see > OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
If your running Snow Leopard or earlier OS X, pop in your Install DVD and startup holding either the Option or C key, then open and use Disk Utility to repair the Macintosh HD.

Why does iMovie take almost 10 minutes to launch?
I have a 2.8ghz iMac with 4G of RAM, no projects loaded, yet iMovie launches VERY slow. The spinning beachball rotates for almost ten minutes before I finally can use the program. Tried to reinstall to no avail.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
Thank you!Do you have a lot of Movies inside iPhoto? Some people have complained about that. iMovie starts in about 5 seconds for me.

White Screen after start up chime and Apple logo, any common issues/reasons?
Hi all,
I have a 2011 quadcore i7, 4GB RAM MacBook Pro which has recently and suddenly developed this annoying fault. A perminant white screen after the Apple logo and spinwheel. I have removed the hard drive (from my early 2011 MacBook Pro) and did a clean install of Lion (10.7) and I know the harddrive is fine and functional as my Mac Pro is able to boot from it and works perfectly, put the same drive back into the MacBook Pro and same, start up chime - Apple Logo - Flash, screen stays white. So its not Harddrive and most likely not a software problem (as the drive has been whiped and OSX reinstalled.) Any thoughts that it may be a bust motherboard or graphics card?
Already tried:
Safe Boot
Single-user Mode
Verbode Mode
Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM
Wiping and installing OSX
Disc recovery
Internet Recovery
Many thanks in advanceHi all,

Takes a long time for Apple logo to show up on boot up
My 13" mpb early 2011 takes a long time for the Apple logo to show up... Is there a way to fix this? (It should show up within 2 seconds after the initial chime)
I have Win7 installed, could it be that? Since it might be detecting which partition to boot up with.Check login items ...
Remove all items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac to test.
Not necessarily a Windows issue.

Why is my G5 is stopping on the grey+apple logo screen when starting up?
My G5 is stopping on the grey+apple logo screen when starting up and fans run faster than usual after a couple minutes. I have read many of the posts related here, but it seems none are exactly what I am experiencing. Here is what I have done:
+Disconnected all peripheral devices (except for keyboard and mouse).
+Unplugged power cord and plugged back in.
+Unplugged ethernet cable.
+Removed added memory.
+Reset the SMU button on the logic board.
+Reset the PRAM by pressing Command-Option-P-R keys. It makes its second start up chime but I still get the grey screen.
+After opening the disc door with a paper clip, started up while pressing "C" with Hardware Test CD which found no problems.
+However, also started up with Systemworks disc and ran Disc Doctor, but I get an "unexpected problem, Error found: disk error" while "Checking Directories: Catalog Structure". When trying to run Speed Disc, my hard drive doesn't even show up in the window to select it. Nor does it show up in Disk Viewer.
I have not tried to start up from the original Mac Startup or installation disc that came with the computer. I am not at my G5 right now (having to use the internet at work). If I start up with that disc, will I loose any work (if I haven't already) that I haven't backed up?
Also, the G5 manual suggests replacing the lithium battery inside the tower if I am having problems starting up. I have not read to do this anywhere else except in the manual. It mentions having problems with the date and time which I haven't so I doubt it's the battery.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tony
G5 Power Mac Mac OS X (10.0.x)First and foremost you should never use Norton Utilities Disk Doctor or Speed Disk. They will corrupt your hard drive. NUM is not compatible with modern Macs and is no longer supported by Symantec. I highly recommend you uninstall it. You will find instructions here.
You should do the following:
Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu . After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, 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. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) 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.
If this does not fix the problem, then it's possible your system files have been damaged in which case you may need to reinstall OS X. You can do this by an Archive and Install which does not require erasing the hard drive. However, the hard drive must be verified as OK per the preceeding intructions.
