Spinning wheel after update to OS X 10.15.7

After updated iMac from OS X 10.13 to 10.15.7, I could not open the iMac and every time, the screen appears with spinning wheel for ever. Try safe boot and use disk utility, all of these are not working. What is next?

thanks

Imac's screen turns black halfway through booting up. When I turn on my Imac os sierra late 2011 27", it starts to boot but then halfway the screen justs turns black. Sometimes it would turn blue for a few seconds then black. I know that my Mac is still on though. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Regards Alexa.

iMac G3 350MHz slot-loading hanging on Apple logo after installing OSX 10.3 After installing Mac OS X 10.3 onto my iMac G3 (350MHz, indigo, slotloading), on booting I get the normal boot chime, brief hard disk activity, the Apple logo, a little more hard disk activity, and then... nothing. The Apple logo just stays there as the hard disk whirs away without any audible activity. (chose eMac as the device option here because there's no option for the iMac G3)

Please reset the NVRAM and also restart in Safe Mode to see if either helps out.
