2012 macbook air stuck on start up screen Hi all, my son's 2012 macbook air is stuck on the apple logo start-up screen. I've spoken to Apple support who just sent me an article to follow but it's not working. Any suggestions? I want to do a fresh install to Catalina if possible and hopefully my daughter can use it for Adobe work.

It's been about an hour. If it is still stuck, hold the power key until your Mac shuts down then power it on again.
