How to Start Up iMac 2009 in Safe Mode

Starting up into Safe Mode does several things that can help resolve software or directory issues that may exist on the startup volume. To start up in Safe Mode: 1. Shut down the computer. 2. Press power button. 3. Immediately after you hear startup tone, press and hold Shift key. Note: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after startup tone but not before. 4. Release Shift key when you see the screen with a gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear). Note that booting into Safe Mode will take longer than a normal startup. During startup, the words ”Safe Boot” will appear on Mac OS X startup screen. 5. To leave Safe Mode, restart computer normally, without holding down any keys during startup.
