Hello Key3979,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that your MacBook Air is unresponsive on the login screen. You've come to the right place! I'm happy to help.


If you haven't already, press and hold the power button to turn off your Mac. If the issue persists, reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

If the behavior continues, try starting in safe mode. Starting in safe mode allows your Mac to run certain checks, remove caches, and prevent login items from automatically launching. This can isolate possible third party issues. Use the steps and information in the link below for assistance with safe mode:

Let us know the results. Please include specific error messages and any other troubleshooting steps you may have tried.


Have a nice day!
