Progress bar on Yosemite boot: need I worry?

I just installed Yosemite on my laptop. My wife's laptop is identical, but I haven't yet installed Yosemite on hers. Before I do, I thought I'd ask.
With Yosemite installed, I see that, when I boot, there is a progress bar each time before the logon prompt appears. My laptop specs:
13-inch MacBookPro, purchased in Mid-2010;
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo;
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3;
Disk: 256Gb Flash (81+G free)

Thanks Clinton. That's good to know.
Re: Spotlight. As with most things produced by Apple, the solution was simple - but of course not self-evident.
Thanks to WestonGallagher for the solution. <<Re: Spotlight - How do I access the tool?>> Once the advertisement for Apple comes up, simply starting to type opens up the Spot-light application and the search results are immediate. It would be nice to have a cursor show up in the window that pops up. That way I might have known to start typing. Now that I know how it works, it is very slick.
Thanks again!

Black screen/progress bar with Yosemite startup

Since installing Yosemite on my relatively new imac, when I boot up i get a black screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar, which takes about 90 seconds to load. I've tried disc first aid, verify/repair permissions etc , done a new install from my backup disc but it still persists. is this now the way of the yosemite world?
Thanks
Bruce

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Spinning Wheel at Startup and Progress Bar but no boot

I just switched out my wife's iMac from a 24 inch to a 27 inch. I used the transfer utility for Apple and it worked (mostly). Then when I physically moved her old iMac to another room I can no longer get it to boot up. I get a startup spinning wheel and a progress bar (which I have no idea what that is for never saw that before) and then it goes away and it sticks on a spinning wheel. I have tried to startup with diagnostics (Hold the D key down) and same thing. I have also put the OS disk in and tried to boot form that and same thing happens. Any ideas on what might be going on or fixes?

OKay not there is more. It says

Any comments?

Missing status bar or progress bar

I just installed Yosemite and I am experiencing a strange problem. Whenever I perform a function that is not quick, like compressing a large folder or copying a large folder to another hard drive, I do NOT see any status or progress bar. Do I need to change something in my preferences or is this a glitch on older iMacs?
Thanks!

Neither of those normally do anything more than post a progress dialog. Are you sure it's not hidden behind an existing open window? Otherwise, the installation is defective. You should reinstall:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing 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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

           progress.Value = 0
            For i As Integer = 0 To dataset.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
                If i <> 0 Then
                    oGFun.SetNewLine(oMatrixTml, oDBDSDetail, 0, "")
                    oDBDSDetail.SetValue("U_Check", i - 1, "Y")
                    oDBDSDetail.SetValue("U_DelrCode", i - 1, dataset.Tables(0).Rows(i)("F3").ToString)

Deploy Libraries VI with the progress bar

When I right-click>deploy all a vi pops up that displays a progress bar while the shared variables are being deployed. However, if I use the Deploy Libraries VI from the DSC module I do not get a progress bar.
I really need a progress bar. I have a huge number of SV's and really want my users to know that the system is actually doing something during the long wait.
Thanks in advance.

"I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane." -- George Orwell

Hi Paul,
I have not tried it, but you might be able to use the 'Commit Shared Variables' vi to manually deploy each variable to the SVE. This way you could easily loop through the libraries and
display a running list of variables or a progress bar. I am not sure if the SVE will automatically create a process for you or if that is something you will also have to do with another DSC
vi that is available for that purpose.

Because ColdFusion code starts executing after the contents of the
file to be uploaded is received by the server. In other words when
you're trying to show the progress bar there's no need for a progress
bar because the upload is at 100%.

If I copy your code into a text editor (Textpad, not Notepad), the minus signs in those equations appear to be something other than ascii-text. I get the small dark vertical rectangles in their place. So that is probably the issue.
I f I use Notepad they appear normally though. And I don't see anything wrong with the code syntax per the intent.

Progress bar when booting after Yosemite install

I Updated my MacBook to the Yosemite. Everything seems to work fine with the exception of booting......When I turn it on it shows me a gray screen with the apple logo and a progress bar like it's loading something. It never did that before.
Is this his normal with Yosemite ???
Thanks
Susan
macbook pro mid 2011

This is new in Yosemite, and it's normal.

During boot Yosemite shows a grey screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar - is this normal?

During boot Yosemite shows a grey screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar - is this normal?

Same here after upgrade yesterday.
I can get OS utilities up using CMD R or holding the shift key (eventually), but if I simply then reinstall the OS will it not loose everything on my drive? I do have it backed up on Time Machine? What a nightmare - Apple Support does suck. I am not paying £25 for them to call me to tell me how to fix a bug in their OS software upgrade. Any help
Also does anyone know if it is possible to use time machine to go back to Snow Leopard? I have wasted much of the day on this now
Cheers

Progress bar on booting up Yosemite

My iMac (11,2) and old Macbook Pro (4,2) now show a 'progress bar' below the  logo when booting up.
Is this normal, or does it indicate something 'wrong' requiring additional tests etc to boot?
If the latter, what should I do?
Thanks.

Did you get an answer for this? I'm having the same issue.

Boot continues to fail - gray screen apple logo progress bar...

I have a mid-2012 MBP. I upgraded to Yosemite. Things were working well. Laptop wasn't used for a week - sleep mode was in use and battery drained. Upon boot-up, progress bar took longer than usual, and after 15 minutes or so it inched its way to the halfway point and finally got to my desktop. Sleep mode is great and I kept the battery charged and didn't let it drain. I needed to do a restart from some updates, but restarting took forever again. I booted off my usb3 yosemite installer and ran disk utility to repair permissions and repair disk. Both found problems and the repair to the disk said I needed to backup any files and start over.
So I got a smaller SSD and installed Yosemite on there, and did a migration to the new SSD. Everything seemed great and snappy for a few days, but once again, after using it in sleep mode for those few days, now it takes forever to start up. I rarely ever restart the Mac, it's awesome. But, the SSD was too small for all my iTunes backups and apps - so I got a 512GB SSD and decided to start over. Once again I installed 10.10 and migrated my data, this time from my time machine backup (few days old). It worked well for one day. ONE DAY. And then it wouldn't even boot. It was slow once, then the next time the stupid progress bar makes it 1/3rd of the way and just quits there. Disk utility finds no errors now, but it won't boot up.
The screen dims, the cursor appears, but the screen with the progress bar remains for about an hour until it brings up a screen full of text stating startup wasn't successful in a dozen languages and then it reboots. Over and over it goes.
When I boot off the usb install, the same progress happens, 1/3rd of the progress bar fills, screen dims, cursor appears, but eventually it turns into the spinning rainbow and the progress bar finishes. I never make it to the rainbow part.
I have reset PRAM as well... Tried different Apple certified RAM. Not sure what steps to do next, so I'm reinstalling Yosemite as I type this.
The 512GB SSD and the smaller SSD were both used in windows machines for at least 6 months prior to use in the Mac, so I'm positive they are good drives. Now I'm not sure if my original HD was even defective or not. Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try or what the problem might be? TIA.

If you can't start up and log in in the usual way, try in safe mode.
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Log in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If you have only one account, you are the administrator.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
If you're able to log in, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

After a series of very short power outages in my town our Imac boots with the pinwheel going and a progress bar, then the users screen comes up but our passwords no longer opens up desktops, just returns to the users choice screen. What should I do?

I'm on the choose a user screen and when I enter the password the screen goes white then returns to choosing a user. The system is rebooting differently when I tried turning off then back on, the pinwheel screen has a progress bar and it takes minutes instead of seconds.
what should I try?

You can try an SMC reset, especially if there was a power outage.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If the issue seems like it just doesn't want to accept the password you'll need to boot to the install disc/recovery partition of the hardrive by holding the 'option' key while booting up. There should be a utility in there to reset your password.

My iMac will not boot up. I have a 3 year old iMac running Lion. When I push the power button I get the Apple logo, then the circular thing made up of small lines revolving iin a clockwise direction, then a progress bar which never fills in.

The progress bar then disappears and the system never boots up. How can I get this machine to boot without a start-up disc?
Are there any keyboard shortcuts available?

I think you'll need those grey original install disks as it sounds like your harddrive is corrupted.
