Question

Applications only respond in safe mode

Feb 3, 2015 11:43AM PST

I have a MacBook Pro. It is running OS X Yosemite. For some reason whenever I try to open or use an application, it stops responding. The spinning beachball comes up and I have to force quit. However when I boot into safe mode, the applications work fine. Why is this happening? How do I make my applications work in normal boot? Please give me a solution. Thanks in advance!

I have 480GB of available storage space.
