Lion 10.7 gray progress bar appears under Apple logo on startup. Slow to boot to login prompt or Finder

iMac Troubleshooting topics section shows this topic for SnowLeopard10.6 and suggests that there may be a hard disk problem. Recommendation was to startup iMac from the 10.6 install disk and use Disk Utility to attempt to repair the hard disk. Lion 10.7.2 was downloaded so there is no disk to attempt this repair with. Any suggestions or experience with the gray cloth screen in Lion and a progress bar under the Apple logo on boot up? It seems to take a lot longer to boot up now to get a login prompt or desktop than when it was fresh out of the box in July 2011 with Snow Leopard 10.6 Thanks for your help!

Hello
just an idea
first shut down your mac then , unplug your keyboard if is a wired one , or remove battery from your wirless keyboard then power up your mac , does the progress bar appear again ?
or more simple try an other keyboard if is possible , preferably a wired keyboard

Gray progress bar on boot twice now

I've experienced a gray bar on boot twice now. I upgraded to a 2011 MBP and transferred my 500 GB Toshiba SSD from last year's MBP into the new model, into the SuperDrive slot using a MCE OptiBay (I put the existing SSD into the OptiBay since the SuperDrive's SATA channel is 3Gbps and the Vertex III I have on order is 6Gbps and will use the system's primary SATA channel). The drive has worked flawlessly for a year, and Disk Utility reports no errors, but Googling the issue indicates that the gray progress bar appears when fschk is checking the drive. I've noticed that my wallpaper has been slow to appear on both occasions, defaulting to the OS X default for a few moments after I log in.
I'm concerned that my drive is going bad, but cannot find any indication that this is the case beyond the intermittent gray progress bar on boot. At least one time after boot the progress bar occurred after a Software Update (Security and Safari). My system's logs also give me no indication what the problem might me. Here is one boot log that resulted in a gray progress bar - https://gist.github.com/922265.
I'd appreciate any help on the matter. Thanks!

I would expect either issue to produce a slow boot either time if either package were the problem. Both packages have been installed for a couple of yours without issue. Also, both apps produce these errors on normal boots as well. I wonder if the errors have to do with the fact that the applications weren't installed on the OS, rather they were already present after I put the old HD in the new system and "upgraded" the OS in place using the system disc that came with the new laptop in order to have the Sandy Bridge drivers installed.
I was hoping you or someone might spot something slightly more definitive in the logs. The time gaps are definitely interesting to me. I think I'll see if I can turn on verbose logging and get any more telling information. Thanks for your help!

Progress bar appearing at startup

Every time I startup my MacBook pro a grey progress bar appears and sometimes after that when it loads up my desktop folders don't appear and I can't access finder.

This may help: Mac OS X v10.6: Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup

I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..

I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..
I keep trying but i cant update the apps..

First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the phone by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Mac OS Mountain Lion Shuts down at Apple logo with a progress bar appearing under it.

Last Night there were two updates available which i downloaded and after that it asked for a restart, when i restarted the Mac, it gave me a progress bar for the updates at the middle of which it said, Installation of Updates can not be Completed and My mac book froze. After that i Shutdown my Macbook Pro by holding the Shutdown button for a little while.
When i restarted the Macbook Pro, it gave remained at apple logo for a while then a progress bar appeared after which it shut down itself and it is doing the same since then.
I have got windows over Boot Camp in my Macbook Pro and i can boot into Windows which is running fine and i can access all the data on my Main Partition through Windows as well but i am unable to boot into Mac os Mountain Lion.
I have tried Repairing the Partition by going into Recovey and it Fails, I have tried Resetting the PRAM and that hasn't worked either, i have tried re-installing the Mac os Mountain Lion from Recovery but that says that all my Partitions are Locked.
I haven't got any backup of my data through Time Machine so i was thinking as i can boot into Windows and access the data and as all this is because of the Installation of Updates Failure so there should be some way to manually edit the Boot Files to trick the Mac book into thinking that there weren't any updates or to simply clear the data from Updates.
Can anyone please help me if you have any better suggestions.

If it's still under warranty or with AppleCare (even if it isn't, really) take it in to an Apple store. If you can get at your personal files from Windows, copy them to an external drive first. That includes anything you have in Windows that you need to keep. Sounds like the drive is going south and if it has to be replaced, you'll lose everything if you don't have it backed up.

Firmware update progress bar appears and computer won't start up

Hi,
I am on OS X 10.6 (the latest developer build, whose build number I can't remember and can't look up because my computer won't start up) and this morning when I tried to start up my computer, it chimed, the apple appeared but then a grey progress bar (like the one that appears during a firmware update) appeared at the bottom of the screen along with the customary spinner. This progress bar didn't update and after 10-ish seconds, it disappeared and left just the spinner. I left the computer in this state for 4 hours and nothing happened. It still starts up in single user mode (but I can't seem to get Open Firmware mode to load) and it starts Windows XP on another partition of my main HD.
When I start it in verbose mode, it says that my catalog B-tree has keys out of order and it is unable to repair them. Also, I get an error message from launchctl: "Bug: launchctl.c:2033 (23930):17: auditquickstart() == 0". Then later on it tells me to convert a few system plist files to launchd (all in the /etc/mach_init.d/ folder). The very last line says "launch_msg(): Socket is not connected".
I would rather not re-install the system, but if I have to, I guess I will. I appreciate any light that anyone can shed on this problem.
Thanks,
Kyle

Yes, they (the third-party utilities) both come on bootable DVD's. As I mentioned, since Snow Leopard was just released in its final version, the developers may be in the process of releasing updates.
Your situation is likely to be a case where the data corruption issue already existed before installing Snow Leopard, and the installation process made the problem more apparent (because something critical was installed where it was affected by the data issue).
It is a good idea to run +Repair Disk+ in Disk Utility on the startup volume before installing a major system update. Actually, I do it before any system-level update.
You should also have a backup (at least of your personal data if not the entire volume), in case something bad happens during a major system upgrade. If you were using Time Machine, the easiest recovery would be to reformat the internal drive and use the Time Machine complete volume restore utility to restore the volume back to the date/time state just before you installed Snow Leopard. Then, after restarting from that restored volume to make sure everything is working, start up from the Snow Leopard installation disc, run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk+ (just to be sure), and run the upgrade to Snow Leopard again.
If you have a backup of at least your personal data, you may want to reformat the internal drive, install Snow Leopard and bundled apps, install your third-party apps from their original sources, update everything that needs updating, and restore your personal data.
If you don't have a backup, the best bet is to try either DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro. DiskWarrior is very specialized into repairing this type of data problem. TechTool Pro has similar capability, but it is a more general tool with other features.

When searching in Acrobat the progress bar appears to not reach end of document

I have a user running Adobe Acrobat 11 with the latest updates.
When she tries to search for a word like "Pending" in the current document the progress bar will come up showing which page it is currently on for the search.
If it's not found, or sometimes even when it is found the progress bar will stop updating and show 78/88 or 87/89 so it appears that it doesn't finish the search.
I have tested it and the search is finishing and going through the whole document, it appears to just be an update/display issue for the progress bar.
The user is concerned she might miss something she needs to find in these accounting/financial documents which could be detrimental.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or is this a known bug?

It's miserably slow and I just don't care about having my searches cloaked in SSL.
It seems that Safari is trying to force not only google searches through SSL but anything else it can too.
What is the point of it? How can I make it stop doing this? It slows down my searches a great deal.
I want FAST searches. Who's going to spy on me when I search google? I mean really... Come on now..

IE Progress Bar appears to continue to load

I have a Flash site where the IE progress bar at the bottom
of the browser contiues to move on (very slowy and it never
finishes). I am assuming this is something with IE because FireFox
does not do this.
PLEASE HELP!
Thaks,

Both descriptions of start up and boot down are normal and to be expected. There is nothing to worry about. FYI, if you want there is a hack to turn your start up screen black on white, but I leave that up to you to find and try, if you so wish.

OS X: Gray progress bar, then MacBook shuts down

Hi Apple Community,
Last year I bought my first Mac ever for University and have been quite happy with it so far.
A few days ago I closed my MacBook when its battery was at ~2%. Normally when battery is that low when closing the MacBook it usually goes into hibernation instead of sleep. When put it on power again about an hour later and opened it again it wouldn't start properly. When I try to boot it now, I see the apple logo with the rotating thingy and a progress bar which fills up in about 5 or 7 minutes. After the bar is filled up the MacBook shuts down and I have to do it all again. So the computer never starts.
I did some research on the subject but all of the solutions couldn't help me. Internet recovery doesn't work, because it doesn't allow me to connect to my university VPN (which is necessary to use in uni accomodation). I also don't have a Recovery CD.
When I start Disk Utility (Cmd + Alt + R + P or something) it won't work as well and just tell me that the Macintosh HD "could not be repaired after three tries" or similar.
HOWEVER: It can't be a hardware problem, because I'm running Windowss 7 via bootcamp (from where I'm writing right now) and everything seems to be alright on here.
My Mac:
MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2012) running on Mavericks.
I'd really appreciate anyone who could help me. I have all my important files synced to my dropbox, but I don't really like the idea of reinstalling OS X
Thanks in advance,
Luka

Guess that's really my only option, thanks. I thougt OS X were indestructible.

Progress bar at gray screen, then shuts down

Hello. I work in a private high school and a staff member handed me his MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012). He says that in the process of doing updates (he was non-specific about what it was updating), he shut the display and now it won't ever fully boot. This is what I observe: Connect power adapter to it, confirm laptop is fully charged, press power button. At the initial gray screen, the black apple shows and a black progress bar appears at the bottom (not the spinning gear), which gets part-way through and then promptly shuts down. Sometimes it gets through the progress bar and the spinning gear for a few seconds before it shuts down.
I've booted to the Recovery Partition and run Disk Utility on the physical volume... and the physical hard drive appears to be fine. Since I've left my external USB drive with Maverick's installed, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to attempt cloning the drive and/or pulling off a copy of the user accounts. Once I get a copy complete, I may try a full restore, but...
In the meanwhile, does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this problem?
I have seen several other related threads in these forums, but most suggest that it may be a physically damaged hard drive, which isn't appearing to be the case here (at least not yet). Another post suggested that it may be a video issue, but it boots fine into the Recovery Partition. Do you think it's possible that one of the updates was a firmware update that never got properly installed due to his shutting the display-lid? Another post suggested trying to boot in Safe Mode, but that also fails similarly.
I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

Here is the Apple support article regarding the symptom you describe:

I trust that the data on the MBP is backed up.
Have you tried a safe boot?

Progress bar in the portal does not appear all the time when loading

Hello All,
I have a dashboard in EP, when I click on it the majority of the time a progress bar appears when it is loading. Some time it does not, the page just appears to be doing nothing, then the dashboard will appear.
Any one else seen this issue?
Thanks

Hai check whether your using the latest EP patch levels that may solve your issue.
GoodDay.

Is it normal for progress bar to appear at every start up ?

after upgrading to Yosemite, every time i start my Mac a progress bar appears and it seems to take longer to get to the home screen - is this normal ?

I agree, it seems just another change for the sake of change from Apple.
