Hi, I'm running 10.4.5 on an iMac halfdome. Three users are installed on the system; my wife and son have no trouble logging on, but when I do,
the login is painfully slow--it takes nearly half an hour for my desktop
to come up!
Do you have any drives or folders in the Dock ?
Simon.
I have both my Documents folder and my Applications folder on the Dock
and my 500 MHz G3 iMac loads my login in seconds, not minutes. I doubt
that's the problem.
I would try bypassing login items. Hold down the shift key while
logging in to prevent the login items from loading. If this makes
login normally fast, your problem is in your login items. Find the
one that's causing the trouble and disable it.
(You'll find these in System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items)
