Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
at first my macbook air was taking just 5-6 seconds in starting up after the shut down. but now it takes a bit long to boot up and start. i want to know what might be the problem for this . Shall i contact apple service centre or it is common with every macbook air. one more thing i am facing this problem only after updating my system to yosemite 10.10.3
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), 4 gb ram and 128 gb hardisk
All computers become slower with time. In your case, I suggest to follow these steps:
- Shut down your Mac
- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button
- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key
- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign
- Once you see Desktop, start a Disk Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors (don't forget to choose your main hard drive)
- Click on Verify Disc and then, if asked to fix problems, on Repair Disk
- After this, click on Verify Disk Permissions and then on Repair Disk Permissions
- After the process is finished, shut down your Mac and turn it back on after about 30 seconds
Apart from that, take a look at this Apple article and follow the instructions shown there: How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
I'd also suggest to upgrade your RAM.
Hope this helps!
Select Macintosh HD as the Startup Disk.
