Emacs not starting

Question

For quite some time I have had an annoying functionality issue with my MacBook Pro 13 '

This happened recently when I tried to get Emacs to run smoothly (not the first time) on my Mac. It does not always start. After starting the launch by clicking its icon in the document, it usually does not. Just the word "Emacs" appears at the top of the screen where the menu is located, but the application itself endlessly remains unresolved for any commands. The only possible continuation is to make him exit. Then it unpredictably starts successfully and almost instantly and works great. I use the latest versions of everything, including Emacs and Mac OS X Yosemite (see below).

No system or regularity. Some failed (up to ten) attempts and one successful or vice versa.

I recently tried running Emacs under a guest account. It starts beautifully, always and quickly!

There is no relevant or identifiable information in the journal (console).

Having been experiencing the problem for quite some time. He was present when I used the Mavericks (I upgrade to Yosemite).

Could you recommend some tests, checking the files, which could help identify the problem?

The developers seem to have fixed it in the next version (25). The last link to the page http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html#macos is a link to the binary https://emacsformacosx.com/ which, when installed, reliably starts from the command line (for now):

open -a Emacs 

or

 touch somefile.txt open -a Emacs somefile.txt 

I like to include

 alias acs='open -a Emacs' 

in my ~ / .profile, so I can just type

 acs somefile.txt
