Doesn't fit in the other categories? Maybe just want to post up some humor or random happening? This is the place for it.

Any Apple/Mac techies?

Post by kokopelli » Wed Apr 25, 2018 2:12 pm

My 2009 MacBook will not load after the login...status bar will eventually go all the way but freezes there.
I’ve trie multiple restarts, safe start, control//option/p/r starts.

So I can power up, Apple logo goes to login screen, I login, it acts like its going to start, then never does.

Do you have a time capsule for it? If so try rolling it back. I have seen os updates cause that.

Start your Mac and hold Command + R to go into recovery mode, from which you can start Disk Utilities, restore from a Time Machine backup, or perform a clean install. This recovery system is stored on a hidden partition on your Mac’s hard drive.

If you do a clean install, all of your stuff is gone.

Correct do not do that. Verify you have a back up before you do a clean install.

Update....

I was able to get to the Utility screen using Command+R.
First Aid on hard disk and startup disk and both said everything was ok.

I was able to reload iOS, it went through installation then initialization....login--------nothing.
Same problem- status bar will go all the way, but never go past that.

:(

Not sure what to do next. Googling and Apple help has no solution other than replacing the hard disk drive.
