Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. Read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/to learn how to do this please. To learn how to use Time Machine read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

Then, shut down your Mac and restart in 'Safe Mode '. To learn how to do it please read: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up. Compare works your Mac in Mode for how safe it was.

  • At startup, the Apple iMac logo flashes red after update to Mac OS Sierra

    After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, my 2015 iMac 21.5 retina has a flashing red Apple logo, then a brief splash screen flickering when starting. Once started, the computer seems fine, with no obvious debris. I don't know why the logo flashes red and then the screen flickers - bad drivers; a problem of software in the start-up phase; a problem with the drive of the merger; or maybe some other gremlin? A quick search on the internet reveals that at least a few others have the same problem with this version of the OS, and it seems to have occurred in the years spent with any other version of Mac OS upgrades. But there is no good answers on how to fix this. I rebooted several times hoping it would clear itself, but no luck.

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after an update or upgrade.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  • Time machine no longer works after update to Mac OS Sierra

    Backup Time Machine has stoped working on two of our Macs, I've updated for Sierra (MacBook Pro 15 "beginning 2013 and iMac early 2016"). They don't backup but are blocked for days now in the 'backup preparation' (connected via gigabit ethernet). The iMac uses our backup NAS (Synology DS216j) and a USB HD (Maxtor), now it can't mount the USB HD or, as the MacBook Pro, get to the point of actually perform a backup on the NAS backup server. All computers (all six of'em, five Mac and a Windows thing) was perfectly support towards the top, but those updated for Sierra no longer.

    Someone else who has had this experience and even has a clue what to do about it?

    Hi Dr. freon!

    Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you are having problems with the Time Machine backup. I know how it is important to be sure that the computer is properly back up at any time. Check out this article which talks specifically of macOS Sierra: If Time Machine still at the stage of "preparation". He has some suggestions of what can cause problems with the backup of your stay to "prepare".

    Another option is to read this article on macOS Sierra: Time Machine troubleshooting.

    See you soon!

  • The scrolling behavior is not smooth after update to Mac OS Sierra

    After that the macOS update Sierra the scrolling behavior has changed, does anyone have same experiences?

    I can still scroll trough a Web page without a problem. I mean the scroll with 2 fingers on the touch pad or scroll with the magic mouse gesture.

    BUT: In trying to slowly scroll through long lists of selections, just answers touching on fast movements, not on the slow change.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Open a Web site like twitter and go to preferences. Go to the time zone list, open it, and scroll through it. Can you move the cursor to line by line?

    You can also move to http://www.doyouspain.com/mietwagen/ , select a country like the Spain a try to SLOWLY scroll list.

    (I just discovered: the list of operating system at the end of this page shows the same problems with PCMCIA)

    I found this behavior using "Parallels Desktop". I can't scroll the documents most as before the update.

    Hello!

    Please open the accessibility, to increase the scrolling speed move the slider from slow to fast (from left to right).

    A screenshot for reference.

    Thank you!

  • Fan number after updating to Mac OS Sierra

    Hello people, as many of you all know, Apple released macOS Sierra. The updating of this new operating system, I have been met through rather annoying problem for me. It seems that my fan is not eager to be quiet as it has been in the previous operating system. The computer is usually warmer than its normal temperature. At first I thought it was a software problem during the upgrade. I came back to El Capitan, the computer runs cool. Fresh installed copay of Sierra and the computer becomes extremely hot and fan running constantly at high SPEED. It's quite strange to me, so I was wondering if someone else running Sierra also have this problem. I have little friends of mine Sierra both running on their MacBook Air machines, but they have the same problem. Any help or suggestion? Thank you

    Hi SC909,

    It seems that your computer is running more hot than usual, and as such, the fan is at the top all the time. I would say that resetting the SMC on your computer:

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  • Configuration error 1 after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra (Illustrator)

    Hello world

    After that I have upgraded to Mac OS Sierra, some of my Adobe software started crashing. Adobe Acrobat XI opens but unexpectedly stops after a few seconds. But above all, Illustrator does not start. I get the Configuration error message (error 1) and suggested to uninstall and reinstall the software (which doesn't help).

    I tried to change the permissions for the files SLStore and Adobe PCD. And indeed, the permissions for Adobe PCD have been set to read only for the admin.

    Unfortunately, change the permissions did not help. I get the same error message. Also, once I have reinstall the software, change the permissions to read-only.

    It happened just after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra. I have no backup, so downgraded to El Capitan is not an option.

    Please help, the standard solution has not worked for me and I need Illustrator to survive.

    (I use a Macbook Pro; 13 Retina display. end of 2015; 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor; 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 memory)

  • iMac freezes after upgrade to Mac OS Sierra

    I have a 27 iMac late 2009 ". After the transition to macOS Sierra, I got freeze about once or twice a day. The only way to get the system operational is again via a cold start. In this case, the pointer of the mouse still works, but otherwise, the system is not responding. I have never had this problem in 7 years using the same material, so a bit of a loss.

    How much RAM you have installed? You can check in the  menu > about this Mac. Slopes of the Sierra, but barely, with 4 GB, but it really needs min. 8 GB runs correctly.

    You can also try Safe Boot mode.

    -------

    Restart in Safe Boot mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system performs some cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.

    I had a very similar problem after updating to 10.8.2. What worked for me was starting up in recovery of OS X and under my boot repair disk volume. There are a number of scheduled file system errors. After the reboot, VMWare works again and the system has been stable for the last half hour or so.

  • After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra Verson 10.12 Dreamweaver Live View is extremely slow

    It's the iMac and MacBook Pro. The two machines are powerful and new.

    After the upgrade to the new MacOS Sierra seems incredibly slow on everything that Dreamweaver. Create a new page.

    The last time I had problems with Dreamweaver was energy, it has been fixed in an upgrade later. This time the problem is something else.

    Mode Live View shows not alive, must constantly keep Refresh and it's incredibly slow when it works.

    After a short then nothing works and you must restart Dreamweaver. It is a problem between the application and the system. Will it be fixed in the near future by Adobe or should I go the road big return to the old system.

    Others who have the same experience?

    Thanks for the reply. Now, I reformat my hard disk, install everything I need again. I use obtained and earlier Adobe help. At that time, he was well back, but it was solved later. I used Time Machine that had a problem.

    I prepare everything I need to take care of, so we'll see what happens. This time I use Time machine. Do problems after installation of Adobe once again, I'll contact the Support from Adobe.

    Thanks for all replies.
