[QUOTE="EternalNewbie, post: 1820636, member: 401414"] [b]Update: changes since last post[/b] I've made some forward progress here, long-term benefits unknown. Here's the checklist. - I've reset the NVRAM and the SMC. - I had an OS update downloaded but not applied - 10.14.4. I've applied it now. - After applying that, I tried again to start in safe mode. No luck. The progress bar fills, but after 15 minutes it still hadn't started. Is it reasonable to wait longer than that? - Since the update the MBA is running notably quieter! Only one beach ball in the past hour, and a very short-lived one. No fan. - I went into Network/preferences and deleted all the Samsung connections. I'm assuming that's all Airdroid stuff - it will re-establish itself if so, next time my phone connects. - I'm holding off on disabling Carbonite updates. I just don't want to risk not backing up. - I've removed *everything* from my login items. It's empty. In sum - things are notably better, but not completely solved. Fingers very much crossed!
