A few day ago I startup up my iMac and only a folder with a question mark was shown in the screen. 

I boot from the Lion DVD, run disk utility but the only drive I get was the DVD and disk1/Mac OS X Base System.

I do run disk utility again onlu turn it off, and this morning I tried to turn it on again, but the same foder appears...I run disk utility (get the DVD and disk1) and turn it off for a few hours. 

What I should do ? Is there any 3rd party tools that I can try do use to solve this issue ?  

PS: when the iMac started up with no problems I run disk utility and made a repair disk to the mac HD...

OS X :: Macbook Slow To Start And Shut Down

Oct 11, 2010

I've had my 13" macbook (running SL) for almost 2 years now (I believe) but recently it has started to act rather oddly. On startup it used to take probably 20 seconds or so while now it can take upwards of 3 minutes just to get to the desktop. I have added a few newer programs on startup but this time is just from the apple screen to the desktop, not counting the time for the startup items.

Also, the more annoying issue, when shutting down my macbook will sit at just the desktop (no icons) for several seconds before going to a blank screen for sometimes several minutes. Sometimes the circular loading thing (the one that is used when starting up) appears and when it does I'm forced to do a manual shutdown (holding the power button) because it refuses to shut down. My battery has also been dying easier and taking longer to charge so could it have something to do with the battery?

MacBook :: Slow Start Up And Shut Down

Oct 10, 2008

Yesterday my macbook start shutting down and booting up slowly. It used to work so quickly, and now it's taking much longer. The only thing I did was install a printer before it happened. Then when the problem began I uninstalled the printer with the uninstaller that it came with. I thought maybe that was the issue, but uninstalling it didn't seem to make a difference. I checked in the preferences to make sure it is starting up with the hard drive and it is. I'm not sure what else to do. It's not a huge issue, but it is a difference and the fact that it's only about a month old worries me. I do have to add that even though it's slower than it was just 24 hours ago, it's faster than my Dell PC ever was

Software :: Very Slow On Start Up & Shut Down?

Mar 21, 2010

For the past months or so, my machine takes about 40 seconds to start-up and shut-down. And thats after that little "spinning wheel appears on the monitor, which takes about 10 to 15 seconds for an image to appear. In the past, it took less than half that amount of time. I've run Macs "Drive Genius" and "Disk Utilities" from the install DVD several times to no avail. Can someone suggest how to at least cut this time down and back to normal. Its really a drag waiting for this "wheel" to stop spinning, which seems like

OS X :: Start Up And Shut Down Times For Snow Leopard?

Aug 28, 2009

I have a new 09' 20" iMac Core Duo 2.66 with Snow Leopard.

Shut Down: = 7 Seconds. Tried 4 times, same result.

Start Up: 42-44 seconds to Login Screen

Login To Desktop fully loaded: = 6 Seconds

I am not impressed by the Start up or Login. I believe I clocked Leopard at the exact same speeds.

Overall I am not noticing much difference in anything.

MacBook Pro :: Will Start To Boot And Shut Down When Progress Bar Gets Half Way

Sep 1, 2014

My wife did an improper shut down by holding the power key while something was working on it. She is running mavericks on the system. Now it will start to boot and shut down when progress bar gets half way. Disk utility says it can not fix problems, and when I try to reinstall mavericks from disk utility, it either says hd is locked, or it won't show me hd. 

We have no system disk, so how can I fix this?

OS X :: Why Does My G-5 Shut Down My Computer In Sleep Mode

Nov 14, 2008

Could someone please explain to me why my computer is shutting down in sleep-mode. In addition, when it happens, the fan goes into hyperblow, which doesn't make sense because it would not be operating if the system were completely shut down. It acts like it is shut down but won't respond or wake up, etc. I re-loaded my system software per the Mac Store Genius' advice, but that didn't work. Is it possible that my power supply is going?

OS X :: Computer Seemed To Be Overloading From The Applications And Performed A Emergency Shut Down?

Nov 12, 2009

I was doing software update today when all of a sudden my computer seemed to be overloading from the apps I was running prior...After 10 minutes of "Circle of Death" I performed a emergency shut down. (Probably not the best idea) Afterwards I restarted and was stuck on the main loading screen, (Apple with grey swirling circle) I left this for about 20 minutes came back to check on it and nothing had happened, several restarts with no new conclusion.I popped in the startup disk and ran a diagnostic on it with everything coming back fine...What the heck do I do now?
