I continue to have progress bar under Apple logo after installing Yosemite

I installed Yosemite some time ago. After the installation I continue to have the progress bar under the Apple logo (before logging in) as if something is still being installed. It takes some minutes before I get to the login screen. Current version is 10.10.2. Any suggestions?

As long as your system does not say Safe Mode in the menu bar, then everything is normal. The loading bar should not normally sit for many minutes; however, this may depend on the system you are using and what you have installed.

Gray bar under Apple logo during startup with 10.7.2

Hi everyone,
first-time iMac owner since May 2011, I'm experiencing exactky the same problem described in the article Mac OS X v10.6: Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup, but with two important differences:
it never happened with the original the 10.6 factory-installed, and started to appear after upgrading to 10.7 at the beginning of August
my iMac, included in the HD replacement program announed by Apple in July 2011, had the HD replaced with a new one in October 2011
In addition to the behavious described in the KB article, it's worth noting that, when one finally manages to log in (and the gray bar may take one good minute to disappear, which happens after filling up to approx. 60-70% of its length), the iMac is barely unusable, as the graphic interface is suddenly **** slow and there's a lot of flickering.
Since seeing is believing, please have allok at the YouTube video I made on this "false start", as I named it: see iMac_falsa_partenza / iMac_false_start.
I had already reported the problem to the local assistance, and they had told me it was an evidence of the HD problem indicated by Apple. Then they replaced the HD (...did they, actually? Probably yes, as the HD now installed is far noisier than the old one), but the very same day I brought it back from the assistance, at the second start... bam, here's the nasty gray bar again.
I didn't further report the problem to the assistance because my faith in their capability has cracked and because the simple replacement of the HD took them three full weeks. But this "false start" issue really, really bothers me a lot, as it happens every other day.
How can I have some good Apple expert technicians take this problem seriously and help me solving it?
As a first-time owner of a Mac, I have onestly to say I'm much, much disappointed by this story... Thanks anyone for any help.

Status bar under apple logo mountain lion

When I startup my MBP I get a status bar under the apple logo. Then a spinning wheel that keeps going on for a long, long time. What is causing this?

If you repaired the drive first and still received the error, then something is wrong, most likely, on the drive. I would say you probably need to erase the drive then reinstall. I hope you have a backup.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Loading bar under Apple logo on startup

Hello,
So about a month or so ago, after i had installed and ran Lion since the day of release, my iMac version 11,3 my mac has started showing a grey progress bar underneath the apple logo during startup. When this loading bar appears, the mac then goes to the loading screen, but it seams that my graphics card is acting slow or weird somehow. After loging in, i have no sound whatsoever, or any network connection at all. Its like all the drivers have miraculously disappeared!
As i read somewhere that it could be something relating to a hard drive problem that, on startup, is trying to fix, i changed the HDD to a new SSD (didnt buy it just for that reason, was looking at getting one anyway)
This has not fixed the problem and i believe it could have something to do with a bug in lion, as for the entire time ive owned this mac, it has been fine. I believe this has happened to a couple of other people, but i hope detailed information can help solve it.
Thanks for reading. Hope you can help.

Does that mean that you choose to not keep a backup?
The loading bar is normal, once it was a little wheel, now it's a bar. Same thing.

Yosemite: loading bar under apple logo on start up

Okay, iMac was running just fine. I updated to yosemite from mavericks and now I get a loading bar under the apple logo every time I restart or start up cold. Is this a new thing or is there a way to fix this? I already repaired disk and permissions. I was going to reinstall but the darn thing won't recognize the time machine either..
Any help is appreciated.

MBP 13" Mid-2012 stuck on apple logo after installing Maverick

I own a MBP 13" Mid-2012 with Mountain Lion installed on it. When I upgrade to Maverick via Apple Store/Internet Recovery/USB it gets stuck on Apple Logo with a grey spinning wheel below. I tried disk repair with disk utility, and resetting PRAM but still nothing happens. When I reinstall Mountain Lion it works again. And no, unfortunately I don't have a back up. What to do? Please don't tell me to bring it to an Apple Store because all they have to say is that my logic board needs to be replaced which I couldn't afford. Help!

Sooner or later, your logic board is going to fail completely. You need to start a backup, preferably more than one

I have a white screen at startup after installing Yosemite. Help!

imac 2011 goes to white screen and black cursor during startup

Hello Hackdog1,
It sounds like you are unable to boot your Mac after updating to Yosemite I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Start with these steps, and work your way down the rest of the article if needed:
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

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

After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my iphone 4 is frozen on the screen with the apple logo and the progress bar under it. Held the power and home button, the phone shut off, and restarted the progress. If i try to turn the phone on, it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes. Once I do, it asks me to restore, i click restore, but it keeps on freezing at the screen. What is the problem? Error 1603 comes up. Followed the link to apple's page but nothing that was said there worked.

How do I shut off the new colored progress bar under the address bar?

In Firefox 7, there is now a small colored "progress bar" under the address url that loads with colored segmentation as a web page loads. While some might consider it helpful, I consider it both distracting and obnoxious. Can someone tell me how to disable this "feature" in about:config? I want to keep the colored granularixation of address sections, but there is no need for that to load as a colored every time a page loads. If I wanted rainbows in my browser, I'd create a Lucky Charms theme. I don't need this, thanks.

I wish this was the case. This is a default action of Firefox 7, not a plugin. While I do want to replace the status bar one day, I have not used StatusBar4Ever to replace the late, lamented status bar as of yet. Unfortunately, this action is tied directly to the new colored segmentated address bar code. In version 5 and 6, he code was "unfinished" (or not fully implemented; take your pick), and as a result this thing never appeared. But in 7, the Firefox term prodly declaimed the feature "functional" and lo and behold, this problem arises! I do appreciate the suggestion, however.

I don't have this "Bar" under Menus in my widgets library?

I was looking at a Lynda.com video about Muse, and saw this (see image)
But why does I don't have this "Bar" under Menus on my widgets library? I would like to have it!
I have only the Horizontal and Vertical Menus?

Hello,
This Bar option was there in older versions of Muse. Now there is only Horizontal and Verticla Menu available.
Could you please provide us the link to the video and let us know what are you trying to achieve?
You can either use the Vertical, Horizontal or Manual Menu.
Regards,
Sachin

The status bar below the Apple logo in Yosemite is not a bug, its a feature. No need for a fix.
The reason why your MB starts slowly shall be answered if we have more info on your MacBook (RAM, version, etc.)
