Try clearing your system cache.

I have done that once and that didn't seem to work. I'll try it again though.

If you've any USB devices connected to Xbox,try unplugging them,also can take longer if you've got Kinect as well

xbox live is working on the issue there is a service alert out right now, should be fixed shortly

how do you connect by wifi ore cable?

did you run the network test?whats does it say maybee there is a network problem

owh and also look in the files maybee there is a corupt file on the harddrive.you need to check all the files you have on the harddrive

i had the same problem i was running my xbox with the hd cables and it was taking for ever to load, the two rings kept swirling for about 2 mins. I went to take it back cause i just bought it 2 weeks ago. Well I hooked up my old xbox 360 to play and same thing took forever to load. So i replace the HD cables with the standard rca cables and it worked fine. I hooked up my new Xbox 360 slim with the original rca cables and now it works fine. I am using an hdmi cable now and it works fine. I also fixed the sloooow log on problem aswell

Same thing happened to me and it takes a year to sign in and it's not even a year old so when I get the next gen consoles

I getting the ps4 because my xbox 360 is screwed so the same thing might happen to the xbox one

I have similar issue, it takes forever to load profile, sometimes says "some xbox live content may be unavailable"  my netflix stopped working on he console.  it dones' seem to want to even open games anymore, i am pretty sure the xbox is broken, its slightly over a year old (meaning just past its warranty date) so i expect its meant to break around this time and be replaced.  I'e say your xbox being old and broken is the most likely answer, the real question is it the removable hard drive thats broken or is the systems hardware?  I would hate to lose everything i have on my hardrive.

So does anyone know where the break lies?  can i buy a new slim with 4 gb and place my 250 hdd in it and it work?  or will the issues persist and i jsut need to order a new hdd?  or do i need both?

ok now i tried a troubleshooter guide i went into network setting and restored factory defaults, now i'm getting an error code that microsoft doesnt even have on their list of codes, error code 807b01f7.  According to google some hacker group is saying they are responble for network failure on xbox live on december 1st 2014, but microsoft hasn't made any comment.   ARGH  pay for more stress i swear, and they will do nohing to help the situation.  so much for enjoying destiny.  I think  xbox live network is crashed and i tihnk my xbox is broken too.  so with that all bing said [Mod Removed] you microsoft i'm not replacing this xbox you can suck my fat [Mod Removed] you rich [Mod Removed] peices of [Mod Removed].
