Hello,
I'm new to the Mac universe and am having a problem. I noticed while browsing late last night that Chrome was unresponsive when trying to load any of my usual websites (instant error messages accompanied by the little frigid folder icon they use). I didn't think much of it, just assuming it was some random error on Google's part and continued on with my browsing using Safari instead (which worked fine). When coming home today (after turning the system off before heading to work, hoping the restart may solve the Chrome issue) I've found that not only does Chrome not open now, but neither does Safari or any other App for that matter! Every App I attempt to open either endlessly bounces while the beachball spins, or just doesn't respond at all. I have not done any drastic work to my machine (I manually installed an SSD and some extra RAM about a week or so after purchase but I don't think that would cause this) and don't torrent anything or visit nefarious websites. I made the jump to Mac after being a Windows user for 15+ years to avoid headaches like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My laptop is a 2013 MBP 13" (non retina) with 8GB of RAM and a 256 SSD if that helps at all.
