Very little. The slowness began shortly after I installed the program and the inability to one Security etc was only noticed 2 days ago.

Got it, thank you. Could you please tell me what happens when you try to access Security?

Message appears that the machine is unable to access the program. No reason or offer of reports.

I see, thank you!
Try booting into Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot-up is significantly slower than normal. This does some maintenance routines, and 3rd party applications don't load.

Thanks Mia. I changed my Apple ID password earlier but I am unable to open any locks to change passwords.

Do you get any error messages?
Customer Reply
No. Have tried several passwords going back a while but the message vibrates a little and then just sits there

Got you
