how come i always boot in verbose mode? and i dont see the gray apple screen and it takes like 3 or 4 minutes to start. can someone help me make the booting process faster? and get the gray apple screen with the spinning thing?

To stop booting in verbose mode and get the gray Apple boot screen.. go to

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

You'll need to edit com.apple.Boot.plist to remove the -v flag. (Under the Kernel Flags key)

 

Mine looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
 <key>Kernel</key>
 <string>mach_kernel</string>
 <key>Kernel Flags</key>
 <string></string>
 <key>Graphics Mode</key>
 <string>1280x800x32</string>
 <key>Quiet Boot</key>
 <string>Yes</string>
 <key>Timeout</key>
 <string>0</string>
</dict>
</plist>

This setup will flash the bootloader for a fraction of a second and proceed to boot into OS X normally.

 

As for making the boot process faster, there's not much you can do.
