Nov 3, 2014 9:46 AM in response to Averythomasby bboss,Thanks for your reply. I have done that about 10 times. The disk always verifies without problem. There are always permissions to be repaired but when I repair them they are not properly repaired even though it tells me 'permissions repaired' - if I run the verify permissions directly after repairing them the same permissions need repairing.

Nov 3, 2014 3:53 PM in response to Eric Rootby bboss,Thanks, that has given me some ideas, but I am getting out of my depth.
I don't have any login items, and getting a blue screen before safe mode starts up must mean something is preventing a good startup, but what?
And why do my disc permissions seem to fail to repair properly? Could that be causing my problems?

Nov 3, 2014 4:30 PM in response to Eric Rootby bboss,Thank you. My permissions that don't repair are not on that safe to ignore list.
They are ...
Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/index.html
System/Library/CoreServices/FeedbackAssistant.app
I click repair, disc utility tells me they are repaired but when I click verify again (directly or at some later point) they need repairing again.
Could these be causing my problem?
Is there any way to permanently repair them?

Nov 3, 2014 4:58 PM in response to bbossby bboss,I managed to run EtreCheck which informed me I have startup items I knew nothing about...(and all manner of Agents and Demons)
but I can't even find them, the System- Library- StartupItems folder is apparently empty.
How can I delete these?
M-Audio Firmware Loader: Path: /Library/StartupItems/M-Audio Firmware Loader
PACESupport: Path: /Library/StartupItems/PACESupport
Startup items are obsolete and will not work in future versions of OS X

Nov 3, 2014 5:16 PM in response to bbossby greg sahli,Those items aren't in the /System/Library/Startupitems folder. They're in the /Library/StartupItems folder. You can use the Finder Go menu > Go to folder to see them.

Nov 5, 2014 5:28 AM in response to bbossby greg sahli,Do you have any other startup-capable backup drives? Do you have any backup?
Have you tried resetting the PRAM?

Nov 5, 2014 12:00 PM in response to greg sahliby bboss,Thanks for your reply. I already restored to my time machine backup. After that didn't help I wiped the disc and installed a fresh version of 10.8.5
I am now running with no added software and it is still happening. Basically I think it is a shutdown issue - when I put the computer to sleep it doesn't wake up and then won't restart again after I shut it down. Running disc utility and repairing permissions from recovery mode seems to work to get it started again, but only until the next day when the whole cycle begins again. I can get it to wake from sleep if I repair the permissions every time before I put it to sleep but I can't carry on doing that.
I already tried resetting PRAM SMC finder preferences and everything else that I could find.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
