[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1622678, member: 8287"] I will bring up another thing that sort of connects with what Chscag said in his first post. How long has this slowness been going on? I see you are running 10.9.4 which is Mavericks. Depending on your usage, Mavericks really wants more than 4GB RAM to run fast with many things going at the same time. Upgrading the RAM might make a large difference. Also will bring up another thing, Open Disk Utility from Applications, Utilities and click on the Main hard drive and look at the bottom. Does SMART Status say Passed? A hard drive starting to die can really lengthen boot times like yours is doing! Let us know what you find. [/QUOTE]
