The second fix worked for me on both Macbook and Mac Mini. What is safe mode? Safe mode (sometimes called safe boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents some software from automatically loading or opening. Starting your Mac in safe mode does the following: Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed Loads only required kernel extensions Prevents startup items and login items from opening automatically Disables user-installed fonts  Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files If your Mac has an issue that goes away when you start up in safe mode, you might be able to isolate the cause .
