Boot Problem! Slow start up, shut down and wake from sleep mode.

I have a MBP late 2009. I used it a long time whit Snow Leopard, few month ago i did an upgrade to Mavericks.

To start up it takes 30-40 seconds until appear the apple logo. Then 2 minutes more to start up the sistem.


When I wake the machine from sleep mode it takes 40 seconds to be working.


Shut down 40 seconds.


Even sometime it get frezze using only Safari.



Things I have tried:

Reinstall Snow Leopard (clean install)

Install Mavericks (clean install)

Replace the HD


¿Any idea?

Chepoka,


have you ensured that all of your installed software is compatible with Mavericks?


If you boot into Safe mode, does it still take 40 seconds to awaken from sleeping, or to shut down? (It will take longer to start up in Safe mode because it will perform “sanity checks” on your boot disk.)


If you have a bootable external disk with Mavericks installed, use Startup Manager to boot from the external disk. Does it take just as long to boot, awaken from sleep, and shut down from the external disk as it does from the internal disk?

Thanks Melophage.


The drive only have the OS. No programs installed.


I tried boot into safe mode and the same experience: 1 minut to wake, 35 seconds to shut down.


I dont have an external disk with the OS. I will try that option in these days.


It seems to be a hardware failure. But i am almost sure that is not a drive failure.
