Hi,
My friend asked me to look at her Macbook pro as it is taking a long time to boot. First time I switched it on it took over 5 minutes to get to the desktop. I had a quick look and nothing jumped out at me so shutdown left it. Later on in the day I booted it back up and it was at the desktop in about 1.5 minutes. And this seems to be the pattern. If it has been off for a while (not sure how long, a day or more) it takes 5 minutes or more to boot. After that it is quick, 1.5 minutes or so.
I have verified the disk, repaired permissions, cleared the pram etc and it is still the same. It is running a fully updated version of Mavericks.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Graham
