  • 24" iMac - Wont boot from HD or disc... Help!

    Hi guys,
    Just been working on iMac, forget the exact spec but it's a 24" Intel 2.something Core 2 Duo or whatever it is, 4gb DDR2 RAM, gotta be about 2 years old to the day and after my last 2 Macs have lasted forever, never developing a fault, I didn't take out Applecare... Perhaps I had a bit too much faith...
    As I say, just working away and all of a sudden, upon putting a video in Quicktime to full screen, the whole image has kinda of condensed itself into the top 20% of the screen and started slightly flickering the image. I've tried quitting some of the programmes, but neither the mouse nor leyboard have been responding so I've just had to turn the computer off.
    I've gone to turn it back on, and after about 30 seconds, it's got as far as the grey screen but then the little spinning progress indicator pauses and it does nothing else.
    I've reset the PRAM and that made it take longer before it froze but ultimately did nothing.
    I've now tried getting it to boot from the Snow Leopard disc but this does the something, until after about 3 - 5 minutes, the screen goes all pshychedlic, like looking at an old school TV really close...
    So looking for any suggestions on other things to try before I have to take to my local store... Any hazard a guess at what may be up with it?
    I've got a back up the whole computer but I don't think this is a software problem, I'm assuming it's going to be a hardware one?
    Any help at all would be much appreciated!

    Ok, tried Safe Mode and that wont boot either. Saw a little progress bar on the grey screen though which made a change, but ultimately, it crashed once that had disappeared.
    I've just noticed that at the point when the progress wheel stops spinning, a pattern of dead pixels appears across the screen that aren't there when the progress wheel is spinning.
    The more I talk to people about this, the more graphics card seems to come back as the likely culprit, based on the fact that:
    - it started by me putting a video to full screen
    - the fact the display went weird when it first happened and also it plays up after it crashes with the psychedelic colours
    - it wont boot from HD, disc or now in safe mode either, however it does run AHT fine.
    - I've hoovered out the vents on the iMac and somehow it seems slower than it was before (bit odd)
    - the dead pixel thing mentioned above
    So now thinking it may be time to get a new graphics card?
    Reckon this is likely, even though the AHT hasn't picked up any problems? As mentioned earlier, I'm not too concerned about it would seem it doesn't particularly test the graphics card too much, so all just seems to point towards it.
    Anything else that I could do to single this out as the likely culprit?
    Guess this is a chance to upgrade!

  • G5 Wont boot.

    I've searched and i've searched, and i can't really find a similar problem to this. It would seem most G5 boot issues are ram related..
    Anyway. It's a G5 1.8 SP, launch model. Yep, about 7 years old now.
    Running 10.5.8
    The boot HD is a 500GB and only has 1.8GB free. Also have a 160GB for files which has about 50 meg free.
    3.5GB ram (6x 512's, 2x 256's).
    Graphics card is a radeon 9800 pro, with a noisy broken fan.
    So. This computer has had a hard life. Seen lots of lan parties, and used to play allot of games back in the day. Up untill recently (say, the last year) it was working flawlessly. Then one day after going to a lan, it wouldn't boot. I reseated the graphics card, and it worked fine. Moved it again a few months later, and same deal. It's now got to the point where i'm affraid to move it, incase it stops working.
    Well, last night i hopped under my desk to boot up the file G3 (which boots up flawlessly every time). I sat back down in front of the G5 again, and it had frozen while i was under the desk (i didn't even touch it!). The mouse was working, although it was extremely erratic, it would zig zag accross the screen while moving it. Everything else had frozen dead though.
    So i rebooted it, and black screen. **** it. I reseated the graphics card, and it seemed to work. It got to the grey screen fine, with working pinwheel. Then went to the aqua blue back ground and stopped there, The screen would 'refresh' i guess you could say ever 20 seconds or so (go blank, flash, and come back as aqua blue). The mouse worked fine also.
    I tried reseating the card again. Booted holding CMDSHIFT+PR, that rebooted successfully, but now it won't go past the grey screen. It just pinwheels for eternity. I got out the leopard disc and tried booting off that, but the disc drive appeared to be having troubles (the DVD drive has always had issues - it's a sony)
    So i tried something else, and got the old Nvidia FX5200 that came with the computer, and tried booting of the disc again, and it worked! The boot disc works fine. There's no graphical glitches, no problems at all. I ran the disc utility, it reported no problems. But there were quite a few permissions broken, that it could NOT fix. A few front row (as in the program) permissions, a 'backrow' frameworks, and a few other frameworks that error'd.
    Ran the profiler, and all the ram shows up, and says OK. It's also reading and using the nvidia just fine, despite it being unused for some 5-6 years.
    TL;DNR
    G5 launch model has had some issues with the graphics card in the last year.
    Last night it died again, reseated card and now OSX only boots to the grey screen, with a working pinwheel.
    Installed the old FX5200 graphics card
    It succesfully boots of the leopard disc, ram appears to be all in order, Disc utility came up with some bad permissions, but reported no problems with 'repair disc'
    The computer still wont boot past the grey screen, even with the different graphics card.
    It doesn't boot in safe mode either. Infact, that only makes things worse, the fans do the spool up thing that happens when you get a kernal panic.
    Any ideas?
    Message was edited by: Ducksnake

    Well i managed to clear 20 gigs off, this is the most space the computers had in probably a year, i know it can (normally) boot with that much space as it has done so with less for a long time now.
    It's gone back to the blue screen. It will get the grey spash, with pin wheel. moments later it flashes to aqua blue as it normally would when loading OSX, but it stops there. And will flash every 20 seconds or so and try again, for infinity.
    I re-installed the 9800, and same deal.
    I'm also running it with the boot disc at the moment, and it's all running fine, so i thing the 9800 is ok.
    I'm going to try and repair the disc and permissions again, and see if it has some more success now it's got a bit of room to play with.

  • How to undo boot camp, wont boot from install disk in dvd drive

    A few months ago I went through trying out boot camp and parallels. Now, I think something is messed up. I dont need either right now, so I just want to wipe out the whole system, repartition the drive, and restore to a blank new install of os x 10.5 leopard.
    But when I put in the install disk, it wont boot up off it.
    I tried holding down the c key while powering it up, and it just cycles through: hearing the drive whirl, a bling sound, and then repeating it again while the screen is blank. Finally, I held down the click button on the touch pad so it would eject the install disk.
    Maybe this will help someone recognize part of the problem. Ever since messing around with boot camp and parallels, my machine wont "reboot". To reboot it, I tell it to reboot, then it hangs on the star like screen, then I have to hold the power button down, then if I do nothing, it tries to boot, but ends up in a dos looking screen saying no bootable device. So when I power it back up, I hold down the alt key, and then I have one choice: the hard drive. I pick that and it boots up ok.
    So... I thought, well, maybe the boot camp is still messed up; maybe I should undo boot camp. When I start the boot camp assistant, there is only a "partition" and "back" button; nothing to "restore" the hard drive to just one partition.
    What can I do? I want to wipe the drive and install a fresh install from my install disk.

    Forgot to specify:
    Im using an older Unibody Macbook (back when they were not all macbook pro's) 2008ish with Snow leopard 1.6.8
    The thread you linked me to, Eric, shows the guy 'Niganit' with the eXACT SAME PROBLEM as me! He seems to have found out the problem but I dont see his resolve.

  • I have a Imac 8,1 That wont boot.

    I have a Imac 8,1 that wont boot.
    3.06Ghz, Nvidia 8800
    I believe i have 2 problems.
    First this is what ive already done:
    I ran an extensive hardware test, no problem
    In disk utility I erased my harddrive and clean installed Mavericks,
    Verified and repaired disk, no problems
    Verified and repaired permissions, no problems
    Disk boots up fine when running on MacBookPro through Firewire
    Zapped PRAM/NVRAM plenty
    After upgrade I can no longer boot into safe mode, Stalls after 25%
    Can no longer use CMD-R
    Can no longer use Apple Hardware Test
    Doesnt seem like I can update firmware from disk by holding down the power button. not sure im using the right disk either.
    These problems probably stem from running complex graphics on a windows 7 partitions I used to have.
         First off I think my GPU is out. I get Thick Green lines down the screen that are not from screen damage straight from startup.
    After Chime the apple logo pops up and loads but after a while the wheel stops and the computer will reboot moments after. Im hoping this is a Firmware problem and I dont have to replace my GPU. My computer has booted up with the lines before and I dont think its the cause for not booting but im no professional. Before I updated to Mavericks This Problem already existed. Can a failing GPU cause boots to fail?
         During hardware test the green lines would go away and I would have a clean screen.
    I loaded Mavericks from a USB drive from there onto the newly erased harddrive (32 Write erase). Everything was going great until I got close to the end of the loading bar for the setup and it froze. The colors on my screen displayed everything but with the colors messed up into a rainbow oval on the top half of the screen. I rebooted and suddenly I cant boot from anything. Harddrive, Install Disk, or USB
         So I plugged up my firewire and got on a MacBookPro with Mavericks and erased the disk again. Then I installed Mavericks flawlessly and it will boot from the MacBookPro but not from the Imac.
    When I boot in Verbose mode I get an error that says
    BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 no such file or directory
    Then
    NVDAStartup: Official (im guessing thats my GPU)
    and a bunch of SMC:smcReadKeyAction ERRORS
    and Sandbox: authd(##) deny file-write & deny file-read errors
    Im thinking I need a new GPU but I want to be absolutely certain before I spend anything on replacing parts.
    Could this be a EFI Firmware Problem?
    like a Firmware/boot data problem from a bad ESP (I dont know what is what really).
    If all this is part of the GPU it would totally make sense to just go ahead and replace it if thats the case. But im no expert, What do you think?

    Very simple take it to an Apple Store or AASP and have it professionally diagnosed. Anything else would be guessing. Do NOT spend a penny on it until it is professionaly diagnosed otherwise you stand and excellent chance of throwing good money after bad.

  • Early 2011 2GHz Macbook pro distorted blue screen then wont boot, 3 times in last 2 weeks

    I have an early 2011, 2GHz macbook pro (15' model with ati radeon graphics). It was running fine for the last two years. Over the last couple of weeks, following things happen:
    1. I was running on bootcamp windows, browsing and some flash content was open, suddenly distorted blue stripes appear and it froze. Force shut down using power button, turn on again and it wont boot on windows or mac, or recovery partition or from the dvd. Tried for about 4 hours, after nvram, pram reset, it was able to safe boot, then run disk utility to verify and repair the disk, it said that there were problems with hard drive and fixed,then booted normally.
    2. I thought that the problem might be because I was on windows, so took a back up of the windows drive, erased it and installed windows 8 using bootcamp. It ran well for an week. After that, once I connected it with the tv using HDMI to watch a video, after I disconnected it, the screen was garbled over the windows start screen, but I was able to command restart normally. After restart, it wont boot to windows or mac.
    3. After several hours of trying, i was able to boot using the dvd this time, it said it 'can not install mac on the hard drive', erased the hard drive and it was able to install the os (snow leopard). After completing install, logged in to app store to download previously purchased mountain lion. Then ran it to upgrade the os, after the upgrade was completed, at the point when it prompts for apple id and password to set up icloud, it again froze with distorted blue screen. Shut down forcefully. Then turn on again and it wont boot. After the white screen and the sound, it shows the apple logo and spinning wheel for a while, then a bright white screen and nothing happens.
    Can anybody help reading the symptoms?

    I have the Early 2011 2GHz Macbook Pro and I have the same problem too.
    I switched out the logicboard a month ago and today the graphics just went distorted.
    Any solutions? Now I'm thinking it is the Graphics Card.

  • My iMac wont boot up properly. Stops at background pic, no dock, only little apple show up top and cursor sticks on little spinning wheel. Have to shut down manually in back and reboot to get it to work. Any ideas why this sometimes happens?

    I'm running OSX 10.9.1 (13B42)
    My problem is that occasionally my Mac wont boot properly. It gets to the background picture where the dock should open but it freezes there. The little apple shows up top left but nothing else and the cursor shows as the little spinning wheel that wont do anything. I can't click on the apple to restart, I have to switch off in back and then start up again. It usally boots all the way after that but I'm worried there's something up since this seems to be happeneing more frequently. Also I'm worried that having to manually shut down like that will somehow damage the software in time?
    I tried a disk verify but there were no repairs needed. I repaired disk permissions too just in case but it still seems to happen every once in a while.
    I've noticed recently that it happens the next reboot after I've been streaming movies online if that helps. Is there any reason for this and anything i can do to stop it in the future?

    Thanks Paul, just ran the etrecheck you recommended and got this:

  • HP DV4-1155SE Black Screen and Wont Boot. Please Help!

    Hello all I am working on an Hp DV4-1155SE. I have tested the memory modules, the hard drive and everything else that I can take out of the computer easily. Everything works but!, The laptop will not boot into the bios or anything else. Black screen, wont boot and i have the bios file that HP supplies on the support page of the site. I have looked at the instructions that a few people have posted about re flashing the bios and that does not seem to help me at all with this AMD processor. If anyone can please offer any help at all this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I will search on int 19h....thanks.
    My problem started before the bios-screen.
    This is what I tried this evening:
    - Disconnected all non-essential devices...no effect.
    - Cleared the CMOS...system booted to OS!    Screens still garbled! 
    - Put in an older graphics-card...No artifacts! 
    - Put my MSI NX6600GT (AGP) back in...screen grabled while booting. Once in OS everything
      looks fine at first. Later I noticed some odd random pixels. Playing movies is working fine.
      Playing 3D games results in all kinds of strange looking artifacts.
    - Installed the latest NVidia- drivers...no effect.
    Is my problem still MOBO related or Graphics Adapter?
    Any further advice?
    Thanks!

  • Dm4 wont boot- hard disk error but passes hard disk test

    My dm4 laptop froze yesterday and I was forced to restart it- it is 3 years old but I have had no issues with it. When trying to reboot it will not start and if I run windows repair it comes up with the failed 2 hdd error. I thought it was a hard drive failure as I originally got a 305 error code when running the hard drive test. Upon opening system diagnostics I ran the hard disk test and it passed no problem. However if I run any of the other tests- start up, run in, or system tune up, I get the error Hard Disk 1. I tried the hard disk test again and it passes. Ive run Avg virus scan and found no threats. I have no idea what is going on- I did a BIOS rollback and the computer still wont boot up. What is happening and can I recover my data?

    With the intermittent errors,it sounds like the hard drive is failing and will need to be replaced. A retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance if you have a 500GB hdd you could use a 750GB hdd but not a 320GB hdd.
    As for whether it is possible to recover your files it depends on how much life is left in the hard drive.Many times you can remove it, attach it to a USB Adapter or install in a USB Enclosure to plug into  working machine via usb port and copy files over to the hard drive of host machine.
    If you need more help selecting/replacing the hdd post back with full Model & Product Number as listed on the Service Tag attached to bottom of laptop.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number

  • MacBook Pro hard disk noise, froze and wont boot

    I was using my MacBook Pro and it froze at the same time I could hear the hard drive cracking. The following are guesses because of the sounds I was hearing: While the hard disk made cracking noises, it would stop spining. Then it started to spin again and another crack would stop the spining.
    I held down the power button to shut down and now it wont boot. I can hear the same type of noises I described before.
    Thanks for the help

    Based on your comments, your HDD is dead.  Get a new one, larger and faster if can afford it and swap in your MBP.  You will have to reinstall your OS and I hope you have a back up of your data.
    Caio.

  • My early 2008 3.1, 2.8 Ghz wont boot up.

         My early 2008 Mac Pro, 3.1, 2.8 Ghz will not boot up. I get the chime then the gray screen, then it continues to boot for approx. 15 seconds after which the gray screen freezes up. Previous to this condition I started getting a half orange frozen screen that would jump up and down while I was using the computer. Also, there were times during normal use where the screen would freeze with lots of lines all over that were small dashes. And now the computer wont boot past the gray apple screen. I have tried "C" boot from the install disc, "Shift" boot, "Option Boot", "Command-Control", "Command-Control-P-R", and multiple normal reboots and nothing past the gray screen. The only "glimmer of hope" is that when I do a boot from the Install CD, "C" or "Shift" I get a box which says I have to restart my computer using the "reset button" ? or pressing the power button for 2 seconds which led me back to having to restart and the gray screen situation all over. Thanks, I have a feeling I know what you are going to say. God Bless.

    Dear Grant,
         Thank You for your quick reply; I believe your right, Sounds like this is just the normal response for problems like mine. I am hearing more and more about the video cards that were implanted into these Mac's. One guy said "don't even bother, get a new computer and save yourself the expense of future cards."
         And when you think about the behavior of my computer it makes so much sense. The computer starts up just fine, you get the chime, it loads to the next correct screen, and continues to boot up until its time for the video card to start spitting out video, then it freezes up.
         Excellent, I hope all is well.
    Thank You very much,
    God Bless All,
    Bob F.

  • I reinstalled osx 10.8.2 from recovery disk, now verify disk says my hard drive is there but wont boot into it regardless which partition i select to boot into , everytime it boots me into the recovery, i need help!

    Mb pro running like garbage with 10.8.2 tried a reinstall of osx from recovery utility now the utility says my hard drive is ok but wont boot into it keeps booting me back into recovery tried restart option to select disk tried using the select startup disk from recovery, gives a message asking if i really want to boot to it and in that message is the only rime it shows a question mark on the drive dont know what to do cant find similar issue

    Your rushing and not making much sense.
    Your machine was running like garbage, so you tried to reinstall 10.8---did you do this or not?
    Disk Utility says your drive is ok, that's good.
    But when you boot it keeps booting Recovery HD, so perhaps the firmware has made a mistake, it can forget.
    You held the option key down to boot into Startup Manager, why didn't you select OS X for the boot volume?
    When you get into OS X you change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, that should take care of the Flashing Question mark issue.
    attemtping to ireinstall osx from recovery partition bar is full on install screen, but im now at -6hours remaining
    So now your reinstalling OS X like you set out to do before, it does take some time as it has to download from Apple's servers.
    If your Internet connection is slow and/or Wifi is slow then it will take awhile.
    So you should have the Flashing Question Mark and Reinstall Only OS X covered.
    You should be able to boot the machine, but your performance issues may be something else and still remain.
    Why is my computer slow?

  • HT204267 Macbook Pro Mid 2011 Wont Boot

    I have a macbook pro mid 2011 but wont boot. THe charging light and the power light in front come on but it does not make the start up noise nor anything like.

    For those driving north of Belize, some distance into Mexico, there are
    some authorized service providers and some independent resellers...
    These are not exactly convenient to Belize users of Apple products.
    And then there's Puerto Rico... between shipping & duties, + costs.
    https://locate.apple.com/pr/en/
    A different look into the Apple country locator may show retail resellers
    though of those, as they are not Apple Store (company) those likely do
    not offer a Genius bar such as the US & Canada. One could use Apple
    locator page to see Apple sales independent affiliated resellers in Mexico.
    Cancún area has three companies (total four locations) for Mac service.
    Mérida  apple retail independent resellers (seven) + two premium "iShop" w/ service
    https://locate.apple.com/mx/en/sales/?pt=all&lat=21.0023779&lon=-89.609860299999 98
    Cancún  apple Mac authorized service independent providers (four shown this location)
    https://locate.apple.com/mx/en/service/?pt=4&lat=21.161908&lon=-86.8515279000000 1
    The Apple country locator page shows Belize -- But there are no listings in the Belize result.
    Appears there may have been or could be some body there who had a business, once?
    Sorry to say it would appear you have limited options, for sales and service;
    when my dad lived in western Belize for 4 years and had Mac computers,
    they took their own and backups. Occasional visits to the US allowed the
    units to get service or repair a few times each year, if taken along.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IMac wont boot and has yellow squares at launch!!!

    Ok, so Friday as I come home from buying Snow Leopard all excited because I also bought an DVI to HDMI cable to hook my 24 inch 3.06 10.5.8 iMac up to my TV. So as my laptop is upgrading to snow leopard I decide to hook up the TV. I plug the cables in and all is good. I went out and downloaded an app called TV Row.
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30081
    It takes front row and puts it on an external monitor. Perfect, they have a brand new update out for snow leopard (which the iMac doesn't have yet) so i think its all good. But when I restart the computer it wont boot and I get a crazy boot screen with light yellow squares everywhere. It gets to the grey apple logo and the gear spins for about a minute and then locks up. I noticed that it was extremely hot!! I went and got a fan and put on the back of it but if i leave it running for about 15 minutes it will burn my hand. I have network access to it so im completely backed up and and down to start from scratch on it. Any ideas. Ill link a picture of what the yellow squares look like.

    Please Help!!!

    If you put the Mac OS X Install DVD in the drive and restart your computer while holding down the Option key, and then click on the DVD when it appears on the screen, are you able to boot into the Installer? If so, can you try reinstalling Mac OS X (using the Archive and Install option) or perhaps restoring from a Time Machine backup?
    If you're not even able to boot from the DVD, I'd suggest calling in an appointment and taking it to Apple right away before any significant damage is caused to the hardware.
