Hello Ed, I suggest that you reset the system PRAM.
To reset the PRAM, power on the Mac while pressing Option+Command+R+P until the startup chime is heard, twice. It may be necessary to perform this several times until you are successful. It can be tricky. Good luck, Mark -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Edward Green Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2015 10:23 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Macbook Air suddenly slow to boot up Hi, My 2012 Macbook Air has suddenly become slow to boot up. I am running Yosemite and have the hard drive encrypted. I used to be able to enter the password a couple of seconds after the startup sound, but since last week, I have had to wait around half a minute before the password box appears. I’m not aware of having installed anything in particular over the past seven days. Does anyone have any ideas about why the machine may have suddenly become slow to boot and what I might try? The machine does not seem to be any slower during actual operation. Cheers, Ed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
