My MacBook Pro from 2012 has developed serious operating problems. They started after using iBooks. Is there any sequence to use when starting up to bypass most startup apps? I know there use to be or is this something for apple store service?Thanks
Got a tip for us?

I think you want start up in safe mode.
Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Safe mode can help you to determine whether an issue is caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up.
Boot holding the Shift key. That will boot you into Safe Boot mode. Many startup items will be bypassed, as well as some of the drivers.
Check in your System Preferences/Users & Groups pane, then the Login Items tab. Remove items that you don't want starting with your Mac user. (Delete items, don't just uncheck the box.) Nothing is actually removed, and you simply find those apps to use them when you need to.
Can you tell us what kind of problems you are having? System really slow? Do you see the spinning beach ball (often?)
