Installing Mojave - stuck

Hi, I’m just trying to install Mojave on my Mac Book Air and it got stuck on a first screen (picture inside circle), it shows 35 minutes for last 2-3 hours. Any advice? Please 😀

Sit on your hands - the signing servers are most likely swamped right now, so...

Same here and lost power to the Mac after 2 hours. Now it boots to the Signin then Crashes and restarts. Looks like I will have to do a New Format and Install

I tried to run mine in safe mode, restarts an no option to run.

iMac late2014. install froze with "less than a second remaining for 1 hour - did a power off restart nd system boots ok but nothing works desktop shows but no access to anything - Restarted in Safe Mode and all seems OK - Interesting that now my HDD is formatted as APFS

Mine died installing - just hung for 3+ hours with no progress. Killed power and machine just kernal panics on boot now. Recovery time. Sigh.

Oh - interesting. Recovery mode actually rebooted into the 10.14 recovery image. HDD verified and data intact. So trying for the reinstall - take 2! Let's see what happens....


External HDD disconnected this time - has caused headaches in the past with installs and upgrades.

Not to be a wiseguy, but this is one of the reasons why I always wait until Parallels has support for the new OS. I wish it were possible to run the new Xcode without needing to run 10.14.

In case anyone's curious, you can get it installed and not really functional IFF you disable networking, run in Coherent mode, use the Apple hypervisor instead of the Parallels one and enter your password on boot even if the user interface doesn't update. It's not even close to usable. The mouse and keyboard don't seem to function properly.

I have done the same thing with Recovery mode but gives me a HD error when I try to login. I even tried to reinstall with a USB disk. I guess I just need to format the drive and start fresh.
