Hi all,

Happy New Year to all.

But.

First problem of the year ... oh dear.

I have 3 user logins on my iMac: a game login, admin and my usual login. The 
latter is the one that gets used 95% of the time. I can login as "me" with no 
problem at all apart from the fact that if I launch Disk Utility it says 
"Looking for disks", but after about 5 minutes, it's still looking! Never seen 
this before at all.

Also, I cannot login as either of the other two users - I enter the password 
(where needed) then I get the whirling activity/progress indicator and that's 
it. After 10 minutes there is no change.

And the iMac won't shut down fully either - it shuts down all the apps, logs 
out, the screen goes "dark" but not off and that is how it stays and even after 
10 minutes the screen is still on.

I've rebooted in Single User Mode and run fsck -fy and it passed the disk with 
a clean bill of health.

I think these issues have only happened since I installed 10.12.2. I was 
running 10.12.1 before that and I'm pretty sure none of the above problems 
existed then.

Maybe Apple have screwed up?

Any thoughts welcomed on anything else I can try to fix things.

Stephen
