Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi there,
I seems to fall into a stern of behaviour that after sometime of using the computer the apps don't start they keep hanging in a non responding state.
afterwards every time i try to reboot the computer these apps prevent the computer from restarting and even if I force quit the computer never restarts unless I do a force restart.
can anyone help me?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), 2.5Ghz Intel i5 16GB RAM 1TB SSD
anyone can help me please?
The computer will eventually boot?
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
strange behaviour, apps not starting computer not restarting
