Macbook Pro stuck at loading screen I have a mid-2012 Macbook Pro running High Sierra. This morning I tried turning it on and it got stuck on the loading screen with the bar almost complete for several minutes. I tried holding the power button down and booting again but the same thing happened. I already used recovery mode to run first aid on my HD, re-installed High Sierra and tried booting in safe mode, nothing works and it always get stuck with the loading bar almost or completely full.Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Macbook Stuck on loading bar Hi Everyone, So recently my Macbook had the kernel task issue, it immediately went dead slow and was unusable. I tried to load the computer into safe mode, however it got stuck on the in start up loading page. From here, I've tried VRAM reset, recovery mode, safe mode again, SMC reset, and yet i get nothing, no response, the computer continues to try and startup, the bar reaches the end and then freezes? I'm not to sure what to do, has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas what i could do? Thanks! Any help is help!!

Unable to log onto desktop.. I have a Macbook Pro 15" (Late 2012) Unibody with High Sierra installed. Recently I have not been able to get onto my desktop either by entering password or by using the Recovery. I power on the Macbook and the Chime goes...the my Logon icon appears but the screen has hundreds of horizontal red lines showing. I enter my password and it starts the loading...The progress bar gets to 3/4 of the way across and the screen just goes white. On other occasions, after entering password the screen goes white and then powers off after 3mins. I have tried the recovery mode; I get the spinning globe and the progress bar but about 3/4 across the Macbook restarts. I have tried resetting the NVRAM and have done an SMC reset. Any help would be great.

After resetting the RAM. (Cmd + Opt + P + R) and repairing the HD using the disk utility, reinstalling The OS and restarting the computer is booting to the desktop fully again.
