Mackeeper has been known to cause more problems than fix, all the posts here say don't use it and offer instuctions on how to remove it, which is not as easy as just dragging it to the trash.


I am willing to guess that some of the third party software could be the issue.


Try a safe boot:

Starting up in “safe mode” may help you diagnose problems you’re having with your Mac.

Note: To print these instructions, open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print.


  1. Shut down your Mac and wait 10 seconds.
  2. Press the power button.
  3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
  4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).

To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.


If you still have problems I would take it to Apple, there seems to be something strange going on here.


You search remove mackeeper on this forum, and get rid of it.

Do you still have all that vrirus software on your MBP? You need uninstall it. That's what safe is there to tell you, if it is third party software causing problems., in safe mode you arejust using essential OS software. The fact you said that it worked fine in safe mode would lead me to believe that it is one or more of those programs causing the issue, they could all be fighting, and wreaking havoc.

Library defect?


I run Capitan on my MAC AIR


In order to repair my Aperture library I copied from time machine a former day. Something went wrong. I was back in my former Aperture, but Safari could not be turned off. I have to use the forced exit over the finder. Windows of the finder react different. My APP Notiz Zettel disappeared. I cannot create a link to connect to an online of a local organization.


Did I damage the libraries to go with my operating system?


I installed a new version of Capitan - no change of the problems.


Can I copy from time machine the former libraries and which one?


What do I need to do to repair my operating system?
