[QUOTE="williamhaviland, post: 1476319, member: 285307"] Okay, so to everybody, in reply: [to chscag] 1. All antivirus software removed/uninstalled. 2. All Mac 'cleanup' utilities removed. 3. I booted to the Recovery partition, and did the verify and repair procedures. Plus the repair permissions. 4. I'd already cleared all login items from system preferences. RESULTS: I have restarted a few times now, just to check the outcome. It now takes the same time, if not even longer, to boot up. Basically there is a considerable amount of script that it goes through at the beginning. That it never used to. I am not sure if it would help, but I could always jot down some of the lines of text that are appearing, and post them here. Any use? Once in, I attempted to start a time machine back-up, just to compare the estimated timings for a 240 GB back-up. You may remember I said it was telling me it would take 2 days to back this up. It is now stating 1 day. So, some progress there it would seem : ) What would you recommend I try now? Should I go back to the Disk Utility and repeat the process? Or, is there anything else I might try? What about my suggestions for restoring the Mac completely? Thanks : ) -- [to harryb2448] Harry, available space as follows: a) On iMac internal hard drive: 278 GB available, out of total of 499 GB b) On external 1TB drive: 775 GB available, out of total of 999 GB Thanks -- [to TattooedMac] Done, and thank you for the welcome!
