Hi All,
Over the past year, my cMP4,1 -> 5,1 has been getting the spinning beachball more and more. The most notable example of this is when I'm saving files. Where saving (text!)files used to be instant, now it can take up to 5 minutes of beachball to indefinite beachball resulting in me having to force shut down the computer. After the last Mojave security update, my Mac randomly won't let me log in, giving me an infinite spinner when I try to login to my account. I can fix this by taking out my boot drive and running first aid on it through my MacBook. After that, I get ONE login. And If I want to log in again, I have to repeat the process of taking the drive out and running first aid on it through my MacBook. What's also odd is that I don't have access anymore to the startup key commands. I can't get my mac back into recovery mode or single user/safe mode. When I hold down the required keys my mac just boots into user select, regardless.
I've searched online but haven't found a similar case yet and was hoping you guys could please help me out?
