Can anyone please tell me a normal time (secs) of a boot up and shutdown on a MBA?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Difficult to define 'normal' as this will vary between models and software loaded.
My 1.7GHz i5 MBA takes around 10 secs to boot up and shuts down almost instantaneously
Why do you need to know? Is yours taking an excessively long time?
I use a password login. The time from power button press to login is 10-12 dseconds. After Login, it takes another two seconds to arrive at a functional desktop with internet access. This is with quite a few start-up background apps being loaded.
Ok. ihave an 1.7 i5 MBA with 256 gb of space.
at login i have just one small programm running and i havw apporximately 30 apps downloaded.
My shutdown times is 2.8 secs and boot up tekes from 16 to 21 secs.
Is that ok?
Yes it's fine. That's in the same range as I'm experiencing with the i7 256gb SSD.
Many thanks!
My boot time on my MBA went from 10 seconds to 30+ after I loaded Maverick... Any ideas on how to get back to 10 seconds...
Shut down which was near instant has deteriorated as well...
Woolie I'm noticing the same things after upgrading to mavericks. Mid 2013 MBA 4GB ram and 256 GB. From when i push the power button to when the login page comes up (password) it takes roughly 12-13 seconds. The graphics of the apple logo lifting up to reveal the login page is also choppy. If no login page is there it takes roughly 14-16 seconds. Very disappointed d/t the fact that ML was much faster. With shutdowns, it really all depends. Sometimes it's fast other times it painfully slow.

I keep confusing you with Klaus because you both use kitty kat avatars. 😊
Before Mavericks I got about 22 seconds to boot on new 2013 Air and about (average) 6 seconds to power off.
Now, boot time on Mavericks is just UNDER 8 seconds (wow), and power down averages (obviously depending all that needed to be shut down) about 5 seconds.
What is the normal time of boot up and shutdown?
