Numbers, Keynote and Pages have to reboot to get them to open documents

Why do I have to keep rebooting to get my applications to work

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.

Thanks for the information I will try this the next time it happens, seem to happen periodically and is okay when I turn machine off and turn it on again but that is not good so will try to do safe mode next time, not familiar with Apple set up have more experience with windows

OK, just holler if you have questions on the unfamiliar. :)
