Mac shutdown screen update#
If the problem still isn’t fixed you may need to update the operating system on your Mac.If you manage to start up in Safe mode it may fix the problems while booting up, in which case, restart the Mac again as normal and see if it’s fixed.If your Mac still won’t boot up even with everything unplugged, try and boot in Safe mode (press and hold the shift key while starting up – as soon as you see the Apple logo).If it works it’s likely that one of your peripherals was the culprit, so try plugging each one in in turn to see which one causes issues. Shut down your Mac and wait 30 seconds.(You may need to keep the mouse and keyboard plugged in if you are using a desktop Mac). Start by disconnecting anything that’s plugged into your Mac – the blue screen could be caused by an issue with one of your peripherals.
