Hi Shane. It's not normal for it to take that long to boot. I would
say that at most mine takes a minute to get to the login screen, and
then perhapse another 30 seconds once I've put in my password. Do you
have a lot of things starting at log on?

Hello. I have serious issues with boot up in Leopard. It sometimes
takes upwards of ten minutes for the MacBook to reboot. I know this
is not a MacBook issues, as this is my second one from our local
Apple store. They replaced my first one about four months ago, and
this is the upgraded MacBook. Same problem. Sometimes, it boots up
just fine, and other times, it takes quite a while. This is quite
annoying, and something really should be done about it.

iTunes 7.7 installed badly over here. Get through the double
license process once after authentication and again when the
software runs for the first time. I had already configured the
last version of iTunes and had answered all of the questions
especially the one for what to name the library. So after the
second license agreement, iTunes 7.7 asks me what to name the
library. I hit escape then turned the computer off with the power
button and then restarted and ran disk utility and repaired
permissions on the disk then ran iTunes 7.7 again and this time was
rewarded with yet another blank screen and the menus could not be
brought up. So I shut the computer down a second time with the
power button and in a while I'll run disk utility again and repair
permissions again. Maybe iTunes will do something like pretend to
work. Leopard, I've had underpowered windows systems boot up
faster; this one ought to have been called lazy cat or fat cat or
dead cat rather than leopard. I had tiger earlier and am
considering upgrading to Tiger too unless much starts improving
shortly. Boot up times are routinely without any disk problems on
the order of 10 minutes to give you an idea.
