    iMac 21 (Late2013) slow boot on Mojave

    Hey, guys. I have a Late2013 iMac (2,9Ghz i5 / 8GB / 1GB video) running the SO in a external 1TB SSD and I never had speed problems. I use the internal HDD for storage only, there is no SO installed in... That internal 5400rpm is really a joke. I was at Sierra (not the High) and decided to...

    iMac Pro Slow Boot - FileVault?

    I picked up a refurbished iMac Pro recently. I set it up and have FileVault running. I noticed when it starts up it takes a very long time (40 seconds +) after I hit the login screen (the one with the icons) before the Bluetooth mouse connects. The loading also feels a little glitchy and the...

    Hi there. I own an old iMac but don't really use it that often. One day after attempting to start it up again, instead of the typical boot, I was greeted with a blinking folder with a question mark. As of a month ago, my iMac worked just fine.

    I’ve seen a lot of posts about boot loops and blank screens, but I’ve yet to see any posts with the problem I seem to be having. My MacBook Pro (late 2013, i5, 256GB) started acting weirdly about a week ago (since the Mojave update I think). It started with a flickering screen which would...

    Slow boot (black screen before Apple logo) after HFS+ to APFS conversion of external boot SSD USB-C

    Hello! :-) I have an iMac 5K 2017 3.4 GHz and was running High Sierra with an external SSD disk (WD My Passport SSD 512GB) as boot disk. The macOS High Sierra allowed me to skip the conversion from HFS+ to APFS. The latter caused slow boot times last year. I was running fine with that system...
