What sort of peripherals do you have plugged in? What's listed in your StartupItems folder (find it with Spotlight) and your Login Items in System Preferences? Also, how much free space do you have on your boot drive?![]()
Yeah they're the Login items I was talking about. Sorry for not being more specific.![]()
Remove everything except the iTunes Helper. Is it quicker now?
Drag all the StartupItems to the Desktop and select the Login Items and press the minus button to get rid of 'em.![]()
Done it. Tried rebooting a few times. On a couple of tries it took even longer to boot but on most may be slightly quicker.
Am I just blaming my computer for my high expectations?
Did you try doing what I said in an earlier post? After installing boot camp the selected startup disk can get screwed up causing the computer to sit idle at a grey screen for a while during startup. Reselecting Macintosh HD is worth a try as it only takes 10 seconds.
