Booting up after El Capitan upgrade.. computer hangs at 70% on the progress bar

Macbook Pro 13 inch Late 2011.

El Captian installed fine. (but ran super slow)

After the last upgrade. just restarted the machine.

Upon restart the machine hangs at 70% progress bar on bootup.

Hi ..


A Safe Mode boot deletes system caches that may help after an OS X update or upgrade.



Top left corner of your screen click the Apple > Shut Down.


After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.


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.


Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.



Once you are in Safe Mode, go back to the Apple menu. From the drop down menu click: Restart
