Progress bar when booting

Hello!
Since a few days, whenever I reboot my MacBook Pro, there is a progress bar underneath the Apple logo.
It takes aprox. 5 min now to boot (very slow!), not that normal I guess.
I already tried to repair the hard drive with the disk utility, but it failed. I ran a hardware test also, but everything seems to be alright.
Anyone with some solutions, or experience with this?
Btw, there appears to be a "lost+found", and "damages files" folder on my harddrive now..
Thanks!

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

  • Grey progress bar when booting up loop

    When I boot up my computer, the grey progress bar below the apple logo appears. It gets to the very end of the bar and then my computer shuts off. When I turn it on again, the same thing happens. Is there any way to fix this?

    Windows doesnt do the same system checks that OS X does, so thats why you wont get the issue witthin Windows.
    After you replace the drive, you should be able to put it in an enclosure and then migrate the data over to the new drive. 
    As far as your Windows partition. You may be able to use Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to image and restore it. I don't know if it will work though when the drive is connected externally.

  • 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!

    I tried to update the software overnight, and it was still in the beginning stages of the progress bar when I woke up.  When I restarted the process I have to restore the phone, its again stuck in the beginning of the process. Does anyone know how long this should take?  The beginning sections seemed to fly by.

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • 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.

  • Deep Sleep - Is it normal to show a grey progress bar during boot?

    I've just downloaded the Deep Sleep widget from Axionic Labs. So far, it works wonderfully.
    I really like the idea of Deep Sleep. No power consumption, quick boot and same state it was before Deep Sleeping.
    However, I noticed that when I power my MBP on (after Deep Sleeping) it shows the grey boot screen with a grey bar below being filled. Actually, it's several small grey bars being filled.
    Is it normal to show those grey bars when your MBP is booting after a deep sleep?
    Here's a photo that I took of it: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2039/dsc00787uz.jpg

  • No Progress Bar when importing from Camera

    I just updated to iLife 06, and I noticed when I was importing new photo's into iPhoto 6, that the progress bar does not move. The photo's import fine, but I have no idea of the approximate time it will take, since the progress bar never shows up.
    Has anyone else seen this? Is there any pref files I can clean out to see if I can get this feature back?
    Thanks, and sorry if this has been discussed, but I could not find anything when searching the forums for this issue.

    Well, I just imported 10 photo's and the progress bar worked. My previous import where the progress bar did not work, had 125 photo's, with two of them locked. I have removed the locked photo's, and removed the regular photo's, and now the progress bar works. I do not know if it was because there was 125 photo's or if it was because I had a few locked photo's, but now it seems to be working.
    I will test things out by locking some more photo's and seeing if the progress bar shows up when I import. I also chose to delete the original photo's after importing them.
    Has anyone else imported a lot of pictures, and had a few locked on the camera, and noticed if the progress bar works or not?

  • No progress bar when using IE7 and innerHTML

    hello;
    when I use javascript to:
    [code]
    document.getElementById(
    "my_shockwave_container_div").innerHTML = my_object_embed_string
    [/code]
    the progress bar does not work but instead just sits there on
    the screen blank, even though the .dcr does load and does begin
    playing when downloaded;
    if I simply place the object and embed tags into the HTML as
    a simple html document would normally be, the progress bar works;
    furthermore, the progress bar works on Mozilla and IE6
    regardless of the method I use;
    any thoughts??
    thanks

  • CS6 Installation package doesn't show a progress bar when installing?

    I'm trying to install an upgrade from CS5.5 Prod Prem to CS6 Prod Prem onto my iMac (10.9.3). I've downloaded the file twice, and tried twice to run it. The install drive will mount from the .dmg, I run it, click on "Install", a progress bar shows up that says "Initializing Installer" which takes maybe a minute or two, then that progress bar disappears and Adobe Application Manager shows up on the doc and nothing else appears to happen. The Activity Monitor does not appear to show any type of installation happening.
    How do I get this to install? Shouldn't I be seeing some kind of progress bar?

    I just remembered something else which might be helpful. We had the exact same thing happen last year when we had to re-install the Flash Player at work. It was supposedly some kind of problem with the installer not being able to function through the company's firewall, which I didn't have the access or permission to turn off or alter in any way. The only thing that worked was locating and using the full installer package.
    So... does anyone know where I could get the full installer package for CS6 Production Premium?

  • Progress bar when restoring

    Hello,
    When I try to restore my Ipod touch 2nd gen, it gets to the screen with the apple logo and the progress bar. The progress bar moves about two clicks and then it just sits there. When I pick up the Ipod after about 5 minutes, it's very hot. I don't want to leave it plugged in too long because I don't want it to fry. Has anyone had this problem?

    I'm having the exact same problem now after downloading the software update 3.0. I've restored, I've tried sleep & home together. Nothing seems to be working.

  • No progress bar when using a_div_tag.innerhtml=" object embed ..."

    hello;
    in some cases I use my_external_javascript.js to insert
    <object ... a_sw_movie.dcr ... ><embed ...
    a_sw_movie.dcr></embed></object>
    via some_div_tag.innerHTML = "...";
    however, this seems to prohibit the functioning of the
    progress bar; whereas if I include the <object><embed>
    normally in the html page, the progress bar works fine;
    any thoughts??

  • No progress bar when embedding/viewing QT movie.

    Hi everyone,
    I am having an issue I've not had before.
    I have setup a web page with HTML to embed a Quicktime 7 movie file (exported as a download, not as streaming since my web host doesnt support QT streaming).
    With previous versions of QT I recall seeing a progress bar while the .mov would load. However this time the user is ONLY presented with the Quicktime logo, without any hint as to how much is left to download.
    Is this a problem with the new version? How can I have the page so that the user sees the progress as it downloads (controller instead of just the "Q" logo)?
    Thanks in advance.
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    The html code must be correct for a file to "autoplay" but the file must also be saved to "Fast Start".
    If you made any edits to a previously saved fast start file you may have "broken" the fast start feature. It can be repaired by using the "Save As" menu using QuickTime Pro.
    Instructions for embedding QT content and the proper use of the "tags":
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011
    Direct linking to a QT file is bad form. You should use the proper html code to insure proper playback.

  • OS hangs at loading progress bar when restarting after Security Update

    I've searched for other people who have had issues with the Security Update, but my issue doesn't seem to have been solved. Here's the story:
    Just installed the new Security update. Shut the computer down for the night, started it up, and halfway through starting up it restarted itself again. It got past the grey Apple, the blue progress bar started loading, got to the end, but doesn't go anywhere. I've let it sit for 15 minutes, but no progress. The internal fan sounds like an airplane taking off, it just keeps going faster and nothing happens. Tried rebooting in safe mode, but it got hung up on the grey Apple and spinning wheel of death.
    Anything I can do from the Terminal to fix this?
    Thanks guys!

    cPants:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have your tried:
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Good luck.
