macOS High Sierra installation stuck

Hi, so here's the problem:

I've been trying to factory reset my Mac. I cleared the disk and reinstall macOS High Sierra, which was the previous OS of this Mac. But everytime I install it, it gets stuck at some point. I don't know what to do. Please help. Thankyou

iPad, iOS 7.0.4, It's an iPad Air

Hello Mrtmdpro,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that your Mac is getting stuck when installing macOS High Sierra. You've come to the right place! I recommend trying to complete the process while in safe mode. Starting in safe mode allows your Mac to run certain checks, remove caches, and prevent login items from automatically launching. This can isolate possible third party issues. Use the steps and information in the link below for assistance with safe mode:

Let us know the results. Please include any other troubleshooting steps you may have tried.

Have a great day!
