Issue: Snow Leopard fails to boot normally – Stalls on blue screen before login window appears. Can login via Safe Mode.
Reason: In my case, there were corrupted item (s) in the start up folders
Method: Remove corrupted item from LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons folder – You could either remove one by one, test which was at fault – I just removed the lot :-).
Permissions will need to be altered for these folders to delete the files.
- Macintosh HD > Library > LaunchAgents
- Macintosh HD > Library > LaunchDaemons
