I installed Yosemite about a week ago on my mid-2011 Air and it's been working fine. Last night I closed the computer as usual, putting it to sleep.

This morning when I opened it again, the login screen is not loading and I'm getting a white screen instead with my user avatar only, no password input field, and one calendar notification stuck in the the corner.

The mouse cursor moves around, but no response otherwise. The display goes dark/sleep after I don't touch it for 30 seconds.

A friend of mine said that something similar happened to him and he just waited (several hours) until the log in screen loaded properly, and that if I tried to do anything it could wipe all my data.:eek:

Anyone else having this issue? Haven't been able to find anything yet. Please Help! Photo is attached.

EDIT: Just noticed that when I move the mouse to hover over where the password field *should* be, the cursor changes from the arrow to a text input cursor.
