Hello, I have a problem with my Mac that started very recently.
It turns on as usual, but a spinning globe appears with a loading bar (I looked it up) and normally I should press cmd+R to access the hard drive settings window, but my Mac freezes on the Apple logo during startup (after the globe loading) without even hearing the famous sound.

Any solutions to fix the problem?

Any questions?

    Hello,

    A Mac displaying a globe at startup means it's trying to boot from a network disk (see HERE.

    If that wasn't your intention, you should press and hold the power button to turn off the computer, then press the power button again to start the Mac normally.

    If a rotating globe appears consistently, you need to start it using the OS X Recovery feature (see [About macOS Recovery feature HERE] to check the status of the startup disk and the OS X system. Two startup modes are available:
    - press Command+R
    - press Option+Command+R
    Since you've already tested "Command+R," I suggest you try "Option+Command+R."

      I turn on the Mac
      I press option+cmd+R at the same time
      it makes the startup sound
      the globe appears and spins, then it goes on to load for 5-10 minutes, the Apple logo appears

      Then that's it. It freezes.

    Well, I finally plugged in my USB stick (64GB) and restarted my Mac, then it installed the latest version of OS X on my hard drive!!
    Everything works like before

    Thank you anyway :)
