Sep 18, 2015 1:05 PM in response to tnethersby e_daniel,I have a new MacBook Air and am having this problem (status bar fills between 30 and 50% 0n startup). I have tried virtually all of the solutions (start up key combinations) with no success. Was hopeful tnethers solution would work, but after entering mount -uw and then exit after bash reapers, it hangs after "en1: promiscuous mode enable succeeded"
Have an appointment with the genius bar tomorrow evening, was hoping to avoid that. Will try and update my solution after.

Jan 27, 2016 8:12 AM in response to DlacValby Twinkle-toes,This is happening to my machine more regularly now, occurring after a re-start following a software update - too easy to link to the update since its the most obvious time for a re-start, rarely perform a restart otherwise.
I usually leave for a good couple of minutes when it may continue (the progress bar), otherwise power off then switch it back on, inevitably there's a pause/hiccup at the same point - 50% of progress, then it continues OK. Dreading the day it doesn't - looking for a maintenance/utility lead to follow.
It did start doing this in late 2015 after an Apple software update.
Apple not exactly helpful in describing/detailing their updates role and purpose.
