  • Is your Mac stock on the Apple logo or looping the progress bar screen? There are three things you can try to get mac unstuck and resume the normal start process. This works on any Mac including Macbook and iMac.
    The first step is by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds to force restart your Mac.
    The second option is unplugging all accessories attached to your Mac including external hard drives and printer.
    The last step is restarting your Mac in recovery mode. The Apple support page will explain this in more detail depending on the type of Mac you have.

    Thanks for the video, we've got a Macbook pro A1502 2015, that seems to hang on boot up with Catalina and above. Even after an update it will hang. It does this on the Internal Storage and from a USB hard drive booting. We've fully tested the RAM but it intermittently continues to do this. , so strange. It does eventually start in Safe Boot but takes a while.

    boot into safe mode and navigate in finder to /users. Copy your data if you don't have a TM backup that is reliable.
    then boot with cmd+r into recovery mode and go to disk utility. Select Macintosh HD (NOT the data partition!) and hit erase. Create the volume with the default AFPS settings.
    Then do a new install from the cmd+r menue and wait.... restore your data should it be missing from TM backup or your manual backup
