In this article, we’ll walk you through the possible causes and solutions to get your MacBook up and running smoothly again.

First Steps

Before we dive into the possible causes, let’s start with some basic troubleshooting steps. Try restarting your MacBook in Safe Mode, which can help isolate the issue. If that doesn’t work, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and NVRAM. You can also try running Apple’s Diagnostic Suite to identify any hardware issues.

Causes and Solutions

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s explore the possible causes and solutions:

Software Corruption or Conflict

Corrupted software or conflicts between apps can cause your MacBook to get stuck on the loading screen. Try reinstalling the operating system using Internet Recovery. This will restore your MacBook to its original settings, which can resolve any software-related issues.

Storage Is Full

If your MacBook’s storage is full, it can cause the loading screen to freeze. Make sure to free up some space by deleting unnecessary files and apps. You can also consider upgrading to a larger storage drive or using an external storage device.

Missing Sensor Data

Missing sensor data can cause your MacBook to enter a protective mode, resulting in a stuck loading screen. Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM to resolve this issue.

Faulty Storage

If your MacBook’s storage drive is faulty, it can cause the loading screen to freeze. Try replacing the storage drive with a new one or using an external storage device.

Faulty Storage Connection

If the connection between the storage drive and the logic board is faulty, it can cause the loading screen to freeze. Try replacing the storage connection cable or having it repaired by a professional.

Faulty Logic Board

If the logic board is faulty, it can cause a range of issues, including a stuck loading screen. In this case, it’s best to have your MacBook repaired by a professional.
