Starting the iMac to OS X Recovery and reinstalling OS X seems like a drastic solution.

I heard that holding the Shift key at start up to Safe Boot can help with that.

I think we should try disabling login items to see if they are causing the issue.

If all else fails, maybe option B to reinstall OS X could solve the problem.

But what if that doesn't work? Should we try option D to manually delete the login items?

Ha! Good catch, Asuncion. That's gotta be a trick answer. I'm definitely not going with C.

Wait, did anyone else notice the typo in option C? It says 'mo' instead of 'then'. I'm not even sure what that would do!

True, B does seem a bit extreme. I'm leaning towards D - using the Recovery Mode to access Terminal and delete the login items directly.

Hmm, I don't know about that. Wouldn't reinstalling the OS in Option B be a bit overkill? That seems like a lot of work just to disable login items.

I think I know the answer! It's A. Holding the Shift key at startup will boot the iMac into Safe Mode, which disables login items.
