Hi
I just installed Yosemite on an old iMac 2009 system , everything was going okay but after the 2nd reboot i got stuck at a white screen with only a cursor....
It does nothing....for hours.
I rebooted 3 times already and now it is stuck on an apple logo with a progress bar on 30%/40% percent , nothing is happening.....also for hours...
What is going on!!! , anyone knows?
😟
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Your post actually helped me. I was stuck on the white screen after 3 restarts with no success. I typed in my admin password and then things happened. It seems like a window was supposed to appear to enter the password and the computer was waiting for it to continue but that was not visible to me (or many others). If you are stuck on the white screen with the cursor, I recommend typing in your admin password to see if that works
Thanks Judigirl, everything is fine with Yosemite now that McAfee is gone ! 😎 Take care
TThen the install will finish. Worked on mine.
Many thanks. You saved me. Clearly there was an incompat. startup item blocking me. Now it all works. You performed a great service posting this!!
Worked a charm
You need to install Adobe Flash
Update.... I have to eat my words....corrupt disk causing all of my problems. With a little help from Apple and a repair disk, everything working well. Thanks to Apple support...
