This is most common with the Mac mini models.įirst you will need to get it to boot before we can proceed.ġ) Start the machine while holding down the Option-Apple-P-R keysĢ) Wait until you hear the 3rd startup chime, then release the keys.ģ) If that doesn't work try an SMC reset here: If your Mac is randomly getting stuck during the boot process in Yosemite, it may be from unsigned extensions. One poster in the, aforementioned, thread posted this solution from the OWC knowledge base: It seems that the problem is, most likely, kext (kernal extension) related. I'm thinking that THIS THREAD describes the issue, best. Poking around the forum, I noticed many other folks having problems booting up after installing El Capitan. Just wondered if anyone else had a similar problem? Any ideas on what the hang-up could have, possibly, been? I haven't tried everything, but all of my "mission critical" apps seem to be working fine. Then, my desktop showed up, so I knew I was good to go.Įverything else seems to be going smoothly.
#Booting up and installing el capitan for mac license#
I got the iCloud set-up window, the license agreement, and all of the other windows that one is supposed to see upon the initial boot-up for a new OS. While in the recovery drive, I ran Disk Utility. I did some poking around online for solutions to "stuck" start-ups. Knowing that this would take several hours, I was hoping for a different way. The Apple guy I spoke to suggested that I, next, try reinstalling El Capitan from the recovery partition.
Opened Startup Disk and that informed me that my drive was running 10.11, so I knew the OS was installed (it just wasn't completing the boot). I launched Disk Utility and saw that it was the new version. Upon loading the recovery partition, I did some poking around. Next, they had me boot to the recovery partition.
The boot-up still got stuck at the same point. I let it sit for a good half-hour and it wouldn't advance any further.
The progress bar, quickly, went almost to the end (around 90%) and, then, it just got stuck there. I saw the familiar grey screen with the Apple logo and the progress bar. My computer, then, rebooted to launch into El Capitan.

I upgraded my 2010 MacBook Pro from Yosemite (10.10.5) to El Capitan, today, and had one, EXTREMELY, notable issue.
