Jun 13, 2005I've just turned a .mov file into DVD using iDVD for the first time. The actual asset encoding took about 3.5 hours for 120 minutes. is that good/bad/average. Is there a faster way?
I basically want to watch stuff on a DVD player and normal screen and not my Powerbook.
I know my DVD player will play mpegs, so could I just turn the .mov files into mpegs? I don't have QT 7 Pro unfortunately but I have d/l VLC.... What can be done?

Software :: Mac Taking Ages To Start?
Jul 9, 2010I don't know really specific details of what it is but it's a MacBook pro and only a few months old with os snow loeoard. I've been sitting here for about an hour and it's still on that screen with the apple and the swirly loading thingy which usually only lasts a few seconds. Last night I did some kind of updates from apple (not sure what they were but I don't think it was anything major) but I restarted it between then and now and it worked fine so maybe it's not that... I don't know. I also downloaded a virus check thing from the apple website last night. I ran a scan and didn't get any viruses but a few warnings and put them in the vault or whatever they call it. After I finished it it wouldn't close or even force quit so I just shut down. it took ages to shut down and I wanted to go to bed and I probably did the wrong thing but I held down the power button to hurry it up like you do on pc and it shut down (that was my last shutdown).

Sep 10, 2009Since Genius Mixes we're announced yesterday, I wanted to try them. I downloaded iTunes 9, and saw that in the Genius section of the left-hand side toolbar, Mixes was not listed. So I turned Genius off and then on. I got the start-up dialogue, I was prompted for my password and I accepted the terms of service. Then it went onto the list of steps. It completed step 1 in less than a second but then it goes onto step 2 and that never ends! It gets stuck there.
PS: I've restarted my Mac and installed all the software upgrades. but still no success.
MacBook :: Windows 7 Takes Ages To Boot On Unibody Macbook?
Sep 1, 2009Installing the RC of Windows 7 on my Macbook and everything works perfectly fine however it takes ages to start up. The screen will stay at a black screen with a single blinking white cursor for around a minute when trying to start up the system. This is a windows download straight from MSDN so the windows operating system is clean and nothing fishy is going on.
Anyone else have this issue and/or found a way around it?
MacBook Pro :: Why Is Boot Down Taking So Long
Apr 17, 2012I'm currently running my mac with an SSD in place of my original HDD and my HDD in place of my optical drive. For some reason when I try and boot down my mac it is taking an unusually long time considering I'm running my OS on an SSD. Here is the shutdown system log for the process which is taking a long time.Â

View 24 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Taking Ten Minutes To Boot And Refuses To Sleep
Nov 6, 2010Yesterday, I had some issues with my MacBook Pro, the keyboard and trackpad were unresponsive (I tried a USB Keyboard/Mouse, didn't fix the problem), it took 10+ minutes to boot up, and it refused to wake from sleep. So I did some hunting, found out if I removed the FireWire kexts, then that would solve the issue. I removed the kexts, and rebooted it, and everything works perfectly fine, with one exception. Both FireWire ports are undetected and inoperable. Would a OS reinstall fix this, or is it some deeper issue that may require a logicboard/hardware component replacement?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: 13" Is Taking A Very Long Time To Boot-up?
Apr 14, 2012My daughter purchased a MacBook Air 13" last 1.7 GH Intel Core i5, 4GB Memory. A couple of weeks ago, my daughter noticed that her computer was taking a long time to boot up. Apparently the bootup time has progressively lengthened to 3 - 5 minutes to get to her desktop. What happens is the boot-up process seems to stall on a grey screen and beach-balls until the desktop eventually appears.

OS X :: IMac Boot Taking 8 Mins?
Jun 27, 2009Recently my iMac has been booting really slow and I've run out of ideas to fix it. So far I've used Onyx to tune everything up, repaired permissions, repaired disk using the disk utility (no errors came up), and I've cleared PRAM. I have XP as a partition using Boot Camp. Its starting to get really annoying.

Jan 20, 2009Well im concerned that my imac is slowing down and is taking to long to boot-up, because when i first got him the imac was a bit faster. So i was thinking i should ask you guys for your boot-up duration before i reinstall Mac OS X. My MBP is also slowing down, don't know if im doing anything wrong so would love to know how long others boot-up lasts.

View 21 Replies View RelatedOS X :: 7200RPM Drive Taking Longer To Boot Than Old 5400?
Apr 22, 2009I used CCC to clone my Hitachi 250gb 5400 rpm macbook pro drive to a Hitachi 320gb 7200 rpm drive.
I installed it myself (it's not hard to do at all took 20 minutes) and everything went fine but it seems as though before I see the Apple logo appear, my MacBook Pro now sits at a blank gray screen right when I turn it on for 10-15 seconds longer than it ever did prior to this upgrade.
Another interesting tidbit is that even though I made an exact clone of the drive with CCC, it seems that ALL of my LittleSnitch rules were dumped as LS asked me to verify everything all over again for MobileMe, Safari, FireFox, SimplifyMedia, Time.Apple.com, etc... Not sure why that happened.
I also noticed that on my original HDD it says "Apple Firmware Version" on the HDD label, is this why the new drive takes longer to boot? Does apple have a special firmware for it's drives that it's sourcing from Hitachi?

Windows On Mac :: Vista 32 In Boot Camp Taking Long To Start
Feb 2, 2009I've had a Vista 32 PC and it booted pretty fast. I now have a fully loaded iMac (newest one available) and Vista takes abnormally long to start. OS X boots very fast, and once Vista is loaded, it runs normal, no problems. I'm just wondering if there is a way to reduce the boot time, and why it would take longer to boot on this more powerful computer than my last generic PC, or if that's just a drawback of boot camp.

OS X :: Macbook Pro Takes Ages Before EFI/rEFIt Comes On?
Jul 25, 2010I have partitioned the harddrive on my Macbook Pro, one partition for OS X and one for Ubuntu, and then i use rEFIt to choose between the two. But some time in performing this process, the time between you turn on the mac, until the EFI(or now, rEFIt) is on, takes up til 15 seconds now. Before, it was about instant.
This is a huge problem for me, but I havent found any way to fix it.
Any ideas?

I'm preatty sure this was a lot faster before. get it quicker again or what can be a reason that it is so slow.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: When Opening A Folder, It Takes Ages To Show The Files
Feb 27, 2012I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Lion (as you can probably guess!), with a 512Gb SSD and 8Gb Ram. Its a pretty fast machine and i'm really happy with the way it runs, however when I open a folder to view files, it opens and shows a blank folder and then I get the black pinwheel in the bottom left/right hand side and I have to wait for sometimes over 30 seconds before the files in that folder are shown!?Â
One thing to point out is that it doesn't always happen and its not restricted to particular folders. I can open a folder and it will show the files straight away, however I can re-open that folder and it will take up to 30 seconds to show the files...Â
I've tried rebooting and running nothing, but it still happens. And I have also tried the normal disk utilities to check permissions, etc and I think these are fine too..Â
