So, I shut my iMac down, had a great holiday, got back to my desk on the Monday following Turkeymas, and fired up my iMac only to be greeted with the Black Screen of Doom. On the day before leaving I got paranoid and decided to disable automatic login on on my iMac so that if my house was broken into and my machine was stolen, the bad guys would be slowed down and, because it seemed like a good idea at the time, I selected “Use iCloud password.” This all started when we left to visit relatives over Thanksgiving week. I found I was able to boot into “safe” mode but, on a 5K iMac, that’s like trying to run a Ferrari on lighter fluid. I have just been through a week of hell with OS X and I think I’ve found an answer to a problem that many OS X users have experienced: OS X 10.11.1 (“El Capitan”) boots to a black screen with the mouse pointer located in the upper left hand corner and that’s it.
