To start in Safe Mode, hold down the Shift key at Startup.


If your Mac starts in Safe mode by itself, and rejects your password, perhaps your Shift key is stuck -- your password is case sensitive.

Reset the NVRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM


If that link doesn't work, follow the instructions here.


  1. Shut down your Mac.
  2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
  3. Turn on your Mac.
  4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound.
  5. Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time.
  6. Release the keys.

After resetting NVRAM, you may need to reconfigure settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
