iMac seems frozen while restarting.

KarenP #2651 I just restarted my iMac, and now it is stuck on the apple symbol and the progress bar almost at the very end. It’s been like that for about five minutes now. What should I do? Do I hold down the on off button on the back of the monitor? – Karan
KarenP #2652 It just came back up after another few minutes of waiting. But I’d still like to know what I would do in a case like this and if that long wait time for a restart is a symptom of something I need to look further into. _Karen toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mar 6, 2020, at 12:41 AM, KarenP <waystation9@...> wrote: I just restarted my iMac, and now it is stuck on the apple symbol and the progress bar almost at the very end.

Daniel Settles All Messages By This Member #2653 Howdy. It may have been doing something routine for a new computer. Do another shut down and cold boot and see how long it takes. A Mac with an SSD, no external HDDs, should boot up fast. You can also do the routine maintenance startup routines that have been discussed frequently here.

Denver Dan If I had those symptoms on my MBPro, the first thing I would do is restart with <Shift> held down (Safe Boot). Let that finish its clean-and-check routines (invisibly), however long that takes, then restart. I wouldn’t expect zapping the PRAM to accomplish much on. new machine. And I haven’t found SMC reset to be helpful for quite a few years. But my next step WOULD be Recovery Mode and Disk Utility First Aid. --? Jim Saklad jimdoc@...
