Hi Jon,


I see from your pictures that you're getting a loading bar but nothing else. To start troubleshooting this issue I'd like you to try and start up in safe mode, and then restarting your computer like normal.


  1. Choose Apple menu > Shut Down.

  2. After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

  3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.

    You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.

  4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

To leave safe mode, restart your Mac again, but don’t hold down any keys during startup.



Have a good one.
