Mac stuck on loading bar

Whenever I try to turn on my Mac book Pro, progress bar stops at 100% and never turns on. So kindly provide any solution so that I can access my Mac.

Specs

High Sierra

Mid 2012

4GB ram

Intel I3 processor


P.S. I have tried re-installing high Sierra , SMC reset, disk repair but nothing seems to work.

Hey rahul0907,

If I understand correctly, the computer will turn on and load the progress bar but not boot to the desktop. This can happen if something like a login item is not loading. One thing you can do is boot into safe mode, which disables login items, and see if the computer loads to the desktop.


Start up in safe mode

To start up in safe mode:

  1. Start or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key. The Apple logo appears on your display. If you don't see the Apple logo, learn what to do.
  2. Release the Shift key when you see the login window. If your startup disk is encrypted with FileVault, you might be asked to log in twice: once to unlock the startup disk, and again to log in to the Finder.

To leave safe mode, restart your Mac without pressing any keys during startup.

If an issue doesn't happen in safe mode

If an issue doesn't happen when your Mac is started in safe mode, try restarting without pressing any keys.

  • If the issue comes back, you might have incompatible login items.
  • If the issue doesn't come back, it was probably caused by a cache or directory issue with your startup disk, which safe mode fixed.

Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
