My Macbook Pro takes 6 to 8 minutes at startup

Hi all

My Macbook Pro takes 6 to 8 minutes to start.

I tried following different advice but without any changes to my problem.

I have reset the PRAM and removed all the unnecessary elements of connection. But nothing has helped.

I used EtreCheck to make a report and I hope someone would know how to read and is able to direct me to the guilty.

I know it's an old machine that I use but I wouldn't so he can completely be outdate after 6 years of age.

Can anyone help? Thank you!

  • MacBook pro gets stuck after 6 minutes

    I got my MacBook Pro for about 4 years. Everything was fine until a few months ago. There is some ongoing work on utilities in front of my house and the workers accidentally done something to mess up my internet connection - cut a wire or something? In any case, I told them and fixed it. Then, my MacBook Pro started having problems.

    It gets hung up or stuck after about 6 minutes of work. It does not seem serious if I work online or offline.

    The strange thing is it only happens at my house and it only happens with my MacBook Pro. My iPad and iPhone, both work very well for me. My MacBook Pro works great everywhere else. Other MacBook works very well for me. It of like my MacBook Pro is trying to do something specific, or to run a program only when it is at home and is then stuck.

    I took it to the Apple store and a third computer repair place to party, but it still works very well in these places and they do not find what is wrong.

    I don't know what to try next.

    Help, please!

    Note the time of the next frost. After the reboot, open the Console app in Finder > Applications > utilities and look for entries of the log at the time of freezing. Suspicious message here.

  • MacBook pro freezes for 5-10 minutes everytime I wake up from sleep mode?

    Since the upgrade to Yosemite, my macbook pro goes to the loading screen grey which usually appears when opening my laptop after that he almost dies everytime I wake up from sleep mode. It freezes on this screen for a few moments, and then when I get to my normal screen, it continues to remain frozen for an extra few minutes. The mouse will not work until a "Set up Bluetooth keyboard" menu appears, then disappears. The problem has persisted through several software updates. I searched endless forums and topics, but none seem to match my problem. Can anyone help?

I tried a n y t h i n g for a few months, revisiting the forums etc. The message in the system log, leaving the "driver GPU seems to be suspended. Does my Mac Pro completely unworkable. It was a software problem because it does not occur in safe mode. Now I just went down to the Mavericks and the problem is completely resolved. I can use my computer again.

    Hi Taylorlaura, if you can use your Mac then move your own files of data on another drive, until you do about 50 GB of space.

    OS x: what is 'other' space about this Mac? -Apple Support

    Then download and run Omni DiskSweeper. It can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper. But beware, some items may be important for your system.

  • Slow start after MacBook Pro mid 2012 Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD upgrade

    Hi dude, I would ask why, after I upgraded my MacBook Pro mid 2012 at Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD, my MacBook Pro take more than an hour at the system boot? The purpose of my mac said the SSD (S.M.A.R.T. is checked) and RAM information. I also restart the EL Capitan already.

    Is - this problem is hardware or software?

    Did you properly prepare the new SSD?

    Install OS X using the recovery network

    Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

    Start on the recovery of the network server:

    Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the COMMAND + OPTION + R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15 - 20 minutes - until the main recovery menu appears.

    Partition and format the hard disk:

    1. Select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.
    2. After load of THE select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entrance Out-dented with the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click the Partition tab in the main window of THE.
    3. Under the scheme of titled Volume set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete. To leave and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.

    This should restore the version of OS X, originally installed on the computer.

    Hello Varshil07,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message, by updating your Mac you have forced stop, or you have closed the lid, and now it does not start.  To start, I suggest that try you to start in safe mode by following the instructions below.  For later use, it's a good idea to not force the computer to shut down or close the lid while it is up to date, because it can cause problems.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.
