high sierra on mac mini starts with a white screen (black progress bar) and finishes with black screen (white progress bar). How can l normalise this (mac mini 2011)?
Thanks.
That sounds pretty normal to me. I don't believe there's a problem here. It's not unusual for the Mac startup screen to go through variations prior to displaying the login screen.
My MacBook Pro does this: starts with light screen w/ dark Apple logo, then shifts thru a couple hue and tint variations before I see the login screen. The computer has to initialize various drivers and settings at startup, including GPU and screen.
If the mini is otherwise behaving well, then I say don't fret. Enjoy using your Mac.🙂

Thanks so much D I Johnson for the reply.
Yes the Mac mini completes its start up and you can log in with the HS style (black background). This is a second hand machine cleaned up by Amazon. I am concerned that this may indicate a fault in start up or the system itself although currently there’s no problem after signing in.
Look forward to your reply.

Does the mac complete its startup and get you to the login screen?
If not, please see: If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support
Thanks very much for putting my mind at rest
Mr Davies
