Oct 20, 2014 10:49 AM in response to Csound1by ShadowDancer1000,[quote]You can not run a disk repair on the disk that you booted from, please note. Boot from Recovery if you wish to run a disk repair.[/quote]
^^^Who told you this? They're incorrect.
You can run a Disk Repair on the same disk you boot from. Most people do this as a maintenance step before installing the next major OS X release.
BTW _ where is the quote button? I had to hard code it with BBCode tags.

Oct 20, 2014 10:50 AM in response to fletcherjamesby Csound1,Remove the Greatdy audio software, remove it correctly (consult the vendor for instructions on how)
Then remove everything Intego, LaCie, Steam, uTorrent Spotify and FUSE
All of these must be removed according to their manufacturers instructions.

Oct 20, 2014 10:52 AM in response to ShadowDancer1000by Csound1,No you can not, I suggest that you try it now rather than arguing about it.
It is not possible to run a Disk Repair on the drive you booted from, your advice is incorrect.

Oct 20, 2014 11:45 AM in response to ShadowDancer1000by Csound1,Maybe you'll believe Apple then:
Disk Utility Repair
- Start from the Recovery System or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion or Mountain Lion).
If your computer shipped with a Mac OS X Install disc, insert the installation disc, and restart the computer while holding the C key. - If using a Recovery partition or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion and later): When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window.
If using an installation disc: Choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: If you started from an installation disc, do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must start from the disc again to access Disk Utility. - Click the First Aid tab.
- Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
- Select your OS X volume.
- Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Tip: With Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier, always start up your computer from an Install or Restore disc when using Disk Utility to verify or repair your startup volume. Otherwise, you might see some disk error messages.
- Start from the Recovery System or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion or Mountain Lion).

Oct 20, 2014 12:12 PM in response to Csound1by ShadowDancer1000,But these are instructions for Lion & Mountain Lion. Those are two/three versions old now.
I'm showing you a screen shot of me running a Disk Repair in Yosemite from the same drive I boot from while the system is running.
I mean I guess if one wants to feel they have an extra layer of security they could run it from the System Recovery screen.

Oct 20, 2014 6:34 PM in response to Csound1by ShadowDancer1000,Could be.
You're also trying to run a disk repair in a partition on your drive. I don't it works like that.

I'm not running a disk repair at all, you are mistaken.

Oct 21, 2014 10:14 AM in response to fletcherjamesby Lopezzi,I'm having the same issue. Two separate accounts, one is an AD account and it won't log in at all, the other is a local admin account and it takes about 5 minutes to log in. After typing the password, I just see the little spinning gear for about 5 min, then it logs in and things seems to run normally. I can't figure out what's causing it. I even reinstalled Yosemite (overtop, not a format and install) and still the same issue. Hope someone figures this out.

Oct 21, 2014 10:18 AM in response to Lopezziby Csound1,Installing 'over the top' leaves settings exactly the same as they were, basically it does not change anything unless it is broken. Do a proper erase and reinstall if you want to eliminate system settings as the issue.
But it is almost certainly not that, 3rd party software is far more likely to be causing the issue, especially the kind that loads before you even login.
Might take a while to find, your choice.

Oct 21, 2014 10:23 AM in response to Csound1by Lopezzi,I know it doesn't change anything unless it's broken. That's why I tried it first. I thought, maybe something is broken and it will fix it. Apparently not. I'm guessing it is third party software but not sure what. I've been pouring through the console trying to see what's causing it to hang, but there is nothing related to any third party stuff that I can tell. Was hoping to not have to format and reinstall as it's not my laptop and I don't know if the user has everything backed up, but it might be the only option.

Oct 21, 2014 10:30 AM in response to Lopezziby Csound1,First you have to find out what you have, then you can start elimination rounds.
Download and run this utility, Etrecheck (written by one of the contributors) post the report here so I can take look for the 'usual suspects'

Oct 21, 2014 12:13 PM in response to Csound1by Lopezzi,Here is the report. Notice I was copying the users profile to an external drive which is why the DesktopServicesHelper is using all the CPU and also obviously why there is a WD External drive attached. I'm curious what you think, but I am preparing to just format and reinstall. I need to get this back to the user today so I might not have a long time to troubleshoot. Thanks for your help, btw.
