Every morning the start up freezes. The mouse will stick and I can get no where

I am very frustrated with this freezing at the start up.  It happens at different times and the freezing of the mouse is so constant.

Supposedly one can hold the Shift key down while booting (Safe Mode) and that's supposed to allow one to boot the machine when the startup disk is full.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If that works, then use a storage drive (not TimeMachine) to move excessive files too likely starting with Movies (large and easy) or iTunes supscirptions downloads which have gotten out of control.
Most commonly used backup methods
Another method is to create a boot drive on a external drive, this then will allow one to option key boot the computer and remove files off of the internal drive, allowing the free space needed for OS X to swap stuff to the drive and operate.
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
Now for some reason it takes rebooting the original drive to get OS X to recognize there is free space available again, so reboot the machine normally (no Shift key). Just saying that because you may be wondering how come it does't register when you delete stuff later.

  • Yosemite is locking my keyboard! When I start or retrieve a document the mouse will operate and I can highlight a word in Word but the keyboard will not type. I have had this start since the very first opening after updating.

    I open a document to edit in Word 2013  (which shows as Word 2008) and try to save the document as a different one. The optical mouse on my MacBook Pro operates normally. Then I make the corrections as try "Save As". The screen opens and I can navigate to the folder and press "Open". I give it a name and the summary page opens to the text lines and I try to give it a new title. The keyboard does not respond and I have to cancel. I have automatic updates on and I get no update messages from Apple of Microsoft.
    Anyone else havng same issues? This misspelled word will not correct by using the old method of right clicking and getting suggested corrections. it highlights but will not correct nor can I place the cursor on the exact place in the word (between the V and the n) to insert the missing "i".

    Microsoft released Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.5 for Yosemite compatibility. They are not motivated to do so for Office for Mac 2008, as it is an unsupported, end-of-life product.
    Can you work through the process you described on another person's MBP with Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.5 installed to determine if the problem you encountered is reproducible there?

  • My Start Up Disk is Full and I can get no acces to anything when the computer starts

    The computer turns on and I can get no acces to anything. It display a message "Your Start Up Disk is Full" and comes to a white screen. I can only move the mouse but there is nowhere to click.
    How can I delete any files, so the computer can come back to life?? Is there any way I can acces those files??
    I'm using 250GB and this Mac has 500GB total memory.

    If you're synchronizing Safari with iCloud, disable that temporarily and see whether there's an improvement.

  • I cannot click on flash objects such as youtube, bbc iplayer and 4od, plus the mouse will not autohide.

    When visiting sites that play videos using flash, I am able to start the videos playing, but then am unable to interact with options such as fullscreen and pause. I am not encountering this problem in safari/chrome.
    When starting videos to play in fullscreen, the mouse will not autohide as it will on other browsers.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • HT1212 my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

  • I've tried to install flash player several different times ans each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install,it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message.Can someone please help m

    I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

    Hi!
    I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.
    Hope I was help!

  • I have an iMAC from about 2007. The mouse will not scroll down. Can this be fixed?

    I have an iMAC from about 2007. The mouse will not scroll down. Can this be fixed?

    You have to remember, where the scroll ball is, there is a small gap which picks up dust and fluff.   That detritus gets everywhere and in your case affects the downward scroll.  
    Adding just a touch Linc Davis's suggestion, after you have vigorously rubbed the scroll ball on the pad, tap it on a hard surface from time to time.   Sometimes you will see small amounts of fluff appear.   You should also see dirty marks on the pad.

    I am experience a similar problem, my iphone 4 either turns off by itself or I am unable to answer a call. Everything just blocks. After contacting 2 different apple service spots still no answer as to how can we fix the problem. Worse, I am unable to revert back to ios 5.1.1 where everything worked just fine.

  • ADE won't let me read DRM books - 4.0 crashes when opening library books (EVERY. SINGLE. TIME) so I installed 3.0 and now I get an "activation error".  I have it authorized to my ID....WHERE IS THE STAFF TO ANSWER QUESTIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

    Working on a MAC with a Kobo.  ADE won't let me read DRM books - 4.0 crashes when opening library books (EVERY. SINGLE. TIME) so I installed 3.0 and now I get an "activation error".  I have it authorized to my ID....WHERE IS THE STAFF TO ANSWER QUESTIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? I have wasted hours on this and I'm getting really annoyed.

    Thank you! This worked. But now I copied my files back, which was successful. But the last file did´t work. I even loaded this file from the bookstore. When I try to load this file, ADE crashes and gives me the following report:
