Need to disable your Login Items?
Mac OS X allows you to automatically launch apps, documents and servers when you log in to your Mac. If you don’t know how simply navigate to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items.
The problem here is that one or more Login Items might cause software problems and affect your Apple Mac from starting up properly.
Here’s a tip to help avoid removing your Login Items permanently by allowing you to temporarily disable the Login Items instead. This can also help with fault-finding and troubleshooting.
Simply hold down the Shift (⇧) key after clicking the Log In button in OS X’s login window until the desktop appears.
