Docker stays forever while pulling image layers

Question

I am trying to create an image of docker, but docker stays forever while loading image layers:

I have tried this several times and it just stops loading at different points. I also tried docker-machine restart without any effect.

I am using a docker machine on Mac OS X:

 $ docker -v Docker version 1.9.1, build a34a1d5 $ docker-machine -v docker-machine version 0.5.5, build 02c4254 

Any idea how to fix this?

I had a similar problem, and I switched from Docker Toolbox to Docker For Mac , and now it works smoothly.

Here's a comparison: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/docker-toolbox/

Also make sure you have the latest version of Docker for Mac
