The problem of delays and freezes while starting up has been dubbed “the gray screen problem” due to the dull and lifeless color in which the display gets painted. Actually, the screen can also get black to the point at which it is difficult to tell whether the Mac is powered on or not. Sometimes the problem occurs after login or after sleep. To resolve the issue, start by force shutting down the notebook. Afterward, disconnect the Ethernet cable and all peripherals that are plugged into your MacBook Pro. If after turning on the device it functions properly, peripherals are likely culprits of the problem. Reconnect the external devices one at a time to narrow down the list of suspects and find which peripheral is responsible for the hangs.
I suspect when the final history of the Mac (and Apple) is written, 10.6 Snow Leopard will be regarded as the “High Water Mark” of the Mac’s sweeping evolution. I have been a loyal Mac user for DECADES, going all the way back to the 512k “fAT mAC” that I first booted up as a high school student. I prefer Safari, but this seems to be an OS issue that hasn’t been, and won’t be resolved soon. I was stuck at 10.13.1 for 6 months until finally clearing HD space and reinstalling High Sierra in recovery mode to 10.13.5, but the issue persists so it hasn’t been fixed.
If you discover that peripherals are not the ones to blame, start the notebook in the Safe Boot mode. The mode allows performing a directory check of the startup drive and minimizing the number of kernel extensions needed for a boot. When the Mac successfully boots in the safe mode, the chances are that its startup drive is corrupted. Try selecting a different startup drive. From the Apple menu, go to System Preferences and click on the Startup Disk tab. Select another disk and save the changes. Then, use the Disk Utility to repair the corrupted drive.
For users who need to move from an old Mac to a new Mac, the best choice is to migrate over a wifi connection or wired connection using Migration Assistant. Unfortunately, not all users can complete the transfer job successfully.
