How long have you had it
Tee oh no bvy! is your music on there?!
take it to a place to save the hard drive immediately.
they'll most likely do a wipe and reinstall the op system. doesn't look like a hardware problem since it's just stuck like that.
did you have a time machine backup?

That's what I'm mostly concerned about! And I did do a time machine backup but it was about a year ago. I'm hoping I can save my files.

Since 2011

Computers usually last a good 4-5 years.
But I have so many important files on here :omgwatshappening:
And I don't have money for a new Mac. :uhh: ssssd
It's broke lolz
Have you googled it tho tee?
you might have to just restore it to factory settings, hope you saved some of your mess on a backup drive.

I'm Googling now :loose2when: I think imma just have to schedule an appointment with Apple. Ugh
Oh no!
Try to do a manual power down by just pressing the power button and try restarting again.
BEST!

Yup. I ended up having to run it in Single Mode. Editing a couple commands in terminal edit. It turns out it had something to do with my log in settings. Something I recently downloaded MOST LIKELY tried to add it self to my "Startup log in items" and I had to go in and remove it the hard way.

my friend figured it out so fast. it took awhile for us to do though.
he actually thought we needed to do more but I was like...
"NO WAIT just let me try to log in again that's prob all we needed to do."
and WAAALLL AH! I was right!
:letsmessfag:
I missed my Macbook.
But I'm def buying a hard drive now to backup all my files! that was too much of a scare
:stressed:
:loose2when:
Aw glad you got it fixed and didn't lose anything.
But yeah def get an external hard drive, just in case.
