Get 11 seconds of blue screen when starting Apple Leopard 10.5 on a MacBook Pro 15″. Hard drive was wiped clean before install…this is not an upgrade. No problems installing, just get the blue screen on startup. Anyone else experience this? If so, have you found a fix?

Interesting, what the the specs?
To be honest, that looks normal, if not *slightly* slow. Someone suggested clearing the boot cache, that’ll only take one or possibly two seconds off though (in fact it’ll add through the first few boots).

the blue screen is where the computer loads all hardware drivers. this process can become lengthy as you install more apps. you need to clear the boot cache and reboot the machine a couple of times. search for an app called “Yasu” in google its free. Its a mac system cleanup tool, takes care of permissions, temp files, and runs many maintenance scripts. Try that, Im pretty sure that should get your mac working fast.

Seems fine to me.

Well, my macbook hangs there forever, it hasn’t loaded once in 3 months.
Can’t take it back, havn’t got the CD.

A little weird, but doesn’t seem THAT abnormal to me, If it’s REALLY slow or you have a problem with it, Bring it to an Apple store and complain, it’s THAT simple..

anyway, i think apple really sucks

It’s only a blue screen - NOT the blue screen of death at almost ALL Windows PC users are familiar with.

February 3rd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
uhhh… not really. i usually have about 10 apps open in win xp at once and only have to reboot about once every 2 weeks.

I just installed Leopard on my macbook a week ago.. the exact same thing is happening. in my case it hangs for 20-25 seconds…I checked on my buddy’s macbook who has tiger and exact same configuration..it boots in no time. the startup progress bar comes only for 5-7 seconds after the dark grey apple..overall boot time is double compared to tiger.. my config macbook 2ghz core 2 duo, 2 gb ram and 120gb hdd

I get one that lasts maybe 30 seconds on my Macbook
February 11th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
nice. Keyboard is lit up too. VERY NICE!!!! wish my iBook did that
February 12th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
wow, i think your pc is kinda slow. mine just flies right by the boot screen. true on the comment its way faster than vista. more than 40 secs for sure, pray for no blue screen of death….
February 14th, 2009 at 8:09 am
yer i get it with my imac its just loading up
February 16th, 2009 at 3:15 am
Leopard isn’t as optimized as Tiger was. I have the noticeably longer boot as well.
February 16th, 2009 at 3:34 am

February 17th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
that happens with my macbook pro 15 in except my blue screen lasts between 8 and 16 minutes, i am going to take it in for service if i can not find a fix
any luck with yours?

February 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
