Apple logo keeps popping up after update My iMac needed a new update, when it was finished, it asked me to restart the computer. So I did. Now the Apple logo keeps popping up on my screen and then disappears and shows up again. If I shut it down, when I turn it back on it keeps doing that. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Why is there a progress bar below the Apple logo when starting up sometimes? I am just curious, because recently when my Mac starts up without an update, every time there will be a progress bar below the Apple logo on the black screen (the one before it shows the login page). It didn't use to have this and just had an Apple logo. Why did it start showing up now?
