2008 MacBook Startup Problem

I have a 2008 MacBook. When I go to start it up the normal grey apple screen with the spinning gear comes up, but then it switches to a blank blue screen with the spinning gear. It just switches between the two screens continuously and will not start up. I tried taking the battery out but it didnt work. Any help?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
This looks like a GPU or display problem.

  • 2008 macbook overheating problems. SOS!

    I have had macbook 2008 aluminum body since November 2008. It was a dream for two years until it started overheating & slowing down whenever I'd be browsing the internet on safari, firefox or opera with the cooling fans working overtime. It also occurs when I use a MSOffice applications, Preview, etc., leaving me with a very fancy machine with very limited use. Also, extended use of my macbook with the heating problem tends to cause it to go into sleep mode without much warning (imagine suddenly seeing a black screen & irresponsive mac in your lap!) & it has to be left to "cool off" for about 10-15 minutes before it is usable again.
    I've been told it's a hardware glitch that needs to be fixed & it is also the reason why the base of the macbook to sink/curve slightly upwards. This problem is said to occur in white 2008 macbooks as well, which I came to know while discussing with a few friends of mine who own that particular model.
    Any help on the matter (i.e. solutions) will be welcome. I live in Pakistan.

    Hey
    Try a laptop cooling stand mate, they are quite effective. Also, never use your Mac on a soft surface like a pillow or your lap. And the most important thing is to make sure there isn't anything blocking the air vents.
    Run an OS X update to check for fixes.
    You could also try resetting the SMC.

    That may fix your fans incase they aren't cooling properly.
    Hope I helped and good luck

  • Late 2007 Macbook startup problem

    I have a problem with my late 2007 Macbook.  Originally, when starting up, I would briefly see the startup screen, then get three beeps.  Since this is normally the sign of a memory problem, I ordered new memory (supposedly of the correct specifications, although upgrading from 2 x 512 MB to 2 x 2 GB).  However, now when I start up, only the power indicator light at the front of the computer comes on.  Nothing else happens.  Putting the old memory back in returns the old problem, which suggests that I haven't managed to knock out video.  I have tried resetting the SMC, but to no effect.  Any suggestions, or is this computer fried?

    Thanks for the suggestions.  X423424 was correct in that the ram was defective; placing it into a MacBook Pro with the same memory requirements led to the same failure to boot.
    However, taking the working 2GB memory from the MacBook Pro did not solve the boot-up problems on the MacBook.  Fortunately, the memory still works after returning it to its original computer.
    Any other suggestions on how this MacBook might be fixed, or is it simply fried?

  • Macbook Startup Problems, and Problems

    When I startup my Macbook, it has been getting stuck on the blue screen typically associated with the startup and log-in. A few unique characteristics of my problem:
    The screen regularly flashes white from the blue
    Every so often(rarely) the screen changes to the log-in associated with startup, so I log-in, carefully so as to not mess up the user name or password and it immediately returns to the blue(flashing) screen.
    My problems first began when I was using my Macbook and it was unable to open any applications that I had. I proceeded to shutdown the computer and then attempt to boot it up, at which point it froze at the gray apple screen with the spinning loader.
    From there, I tried to boot in safe mode, got to the log-in and when I entered my information, it returned me to the safe-mode log-in every time.
    I then proceed to boot on my Leopard install disk(I have updated to Snow Leopard, but it was a Family pack and therefore I don't have it with me) and repaired the disk, and repaired the disk partitions, both of which went off without a hitch. Once again I got stuck on the grey screen.
    I then reset the PRAM and that got me past the grey screen, to this blue flashing one that represents my startup and log-in problems.
    Luckily, I have a Seagate Free Agent Drive which has been my Time Machine disk.
    My question is, would it be better to boot with and reinstall Leopard with my disk that came with my Macbook and restore the hard drive contents with the Free agent, even though it has been updated since the Snow Leopard install, or can I boot on the Free Agent itself and avoid the hassles.
    Thanks for the help everyone

    Are you serious?!!  Couldn't be anything else?  I recall it did this one time a few years ago when I was running a 3rd party backup software.  After I removed it, the problem went away. 
    Replacing the hard drive, in my opinion, is a last ditch effort.  Surely there are some other diagnostics to confirm.

  • B&W Macbook startup problem - no solution suggested in forums has worked

    Hi there,
    I encountered a problem using Word on my white Macbook yesterday, so restarted (by selecting the 'restart' option from the apple menu) to try to fix it.
    It would not restart: it showed a white screen with the apple sign for ages, followed by a prohibitory sign, then eventually the apple sign again, followed by a flashing folder with a question mark. I have tried the following options (found by searching the forums), to no avail:
    (NB #1: almost all my data is backed up, therefore I don't need to worry about salvaging lost data.)
    (NB #2: I am not exactly sure what operating system this machine uses, but I think it's 10.5. The model number is A1181, it was bought refurbished from Apple in June 2008, and the info on the barcode label under the battery says 'MB 13/2 16/2X512/120/SD-DL:WHITE'.)
    Resetting the PRAM: the problem persisted.
    Tried to perform an archive and install using the install disk. On the first attempt, after selecting the 'archive and install option' and then selecting the HD as the 'destination', the process performed some sort of disk check. It either completed the disk check, or nearly completed it (I left the room when it was about 80% done), but then showed an error message saying that it had encountered a problem and that I needed to restart (I think! I didn't write down exactly what the message said).
    I restarted and attempted to run the archive and install process again (several times). However, this time, no destination volumes are shown at the 'Select a Destination' step. So, I'm unable either to archive and install or to erase and install.
    Tried to repair HD using the disk utility function but encounter a 'First Aid Failed' error message which says: 'The underlying task reported failure on exit'.
    Tried booting in safe mode several times, with slightly different unsuccessful results:
    1st attempt (with the install disk still in the drive): a grey screen with text appeared along with a message telling me to restart by holding down the power button, which I did. However, the restart just returned me to the install disk process again, and I encountered the same problems with no destination shown at the 'Select a Destination' step and the inability to repair the HD using the disk utility.
    2nd attempt (with the install disk still in the drive): would not start up, apple sign followed by prohibitory sign.
    3rd attempt (having ejected the disk by restarting whilst holding down the mousepad button): apple sign displayed for a long time; eventually the screen went off then came on again (along with the restart sound), but remained white (no apple sign displayed).
    4th attempt (disk still ejected): apple sign displayed for a long time, eventually screen went blank and came on again (along with the restart sound), apple sign displayed, then prohibitory sign, apple sign again, then folder with question mark.
    Tried using fsck but failed. Started up in single-user mode, but got an error message saying: "Error loading kernel 'mach_kernel' (0x80000012)"
    Tried SMC reset but this made no difference.
    I would be hugely grateful for any helpful suggestions!
    Thanks very much.

    If I buy a new HD and then run my install disks, will this return the Macbook to the same state (software-wise) as when I bought it?
    Yes, also... if you take the old drive and put it in an external Firewire or USB enclosure you may be able to save some of your data files.

  • Macbook startup problem

    My macbook will startup only in save boot mode - otherwise it either comes to the login screen and nothing happens or I don't get the login option, only the apple logo and the cursor. . . it worked fine yesterday on the train, since I've neither installed nor deleted anything.

    Try this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You may have a corrupted preference file. If the previous doesn't help then create a new user account, log out of your normal account and log into the new one. Set the new account as the default at login and restart the computer. See if this causes the problem to cease. If so then you probably have a bad preference file or cache file. You can use software such as TinkerTool System to help clean out caches.

  • Help! MacBook startup problems! Critical!!!

    Hello all
    (First of all sorry for my not perfect English, I hope you'll understand my problems anyway)
    I made a great mistake by changing permissions for 'everyone' to 'no acces'. Now my computer wont start up. I have tried everything (resetting PRAM, starting with opt-down, starting from install-CD, trying to repair with DiskWarrior 4 [everything was fine] and other stuff I could find on different forums), repairing disk (I have no acces to repair disk permissions), trying to start in target-mode (would not work) and now I have this situation:
    - when I start up with opt-down I get two options: EFI Boot or Install-CD. From that picture (doesn't matter which I choose) I can go to Disk Utility and choose Disk Control for Macintosh-HD (shows everything ok) and Repair Disk (also ok). I can not choose option for Archive and reinstall, this is inactive. The only possibility I can choose is Install MacOSX as a first time or Delete and install. No one of these options is interesting, because I didn't get backup of most of my files on MB (because extern HD wouldnt work with it for the long time, after one of the system updates).
    - when I go to System profile I can see Root and Applications. In Root can I get acces to a map called something as Old/ recovered map with specific date (sorry, I am not sitting at home with my machine and I try also to translate to English) and in that map can I see all of my contents still exsisting One positive thing after all!
    - What can I do to get acces to my profile? I have never tried to work with Terminal or other programming things...
    Beside MacBook I have an old G4 with OSX 10.3 installed and approx. 2 GB space left. It is terribly slow! I have also LaCie FW with a lot of space, but it wouldnt work with MB before, so I am not very confident with it.
    I know that is a terrible mass, but I really hope there is a kind soul to help me out of this situation, I am sure there is a way to do so.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Sincerely
    Mignon

    If your MacBook and your G4 both have working Firewire ports, you should be able to start up in Target Disk Mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 which would allow your faulty MacBook to mount as an external disk on your G4. You could then copy your significant files to the G4, after which you could erase and install a new system onto your MacBook and then copy your valuable files back to the MacBook. Just be sure you follow the instructions for Target Disk Mode exactly.

  • Macbook startup problems

    just got a black macbook from a friend, was running fine for about a week. now i'm getting just the gray screen. i've tried starting up from a cd-nothing. i've tried connecting to my imac via firewire and the macbook hd doesn't show up on the imac desktop.
    also i don't have the cd/dvds for the macbook
    both are running 10.4.11

    try the SMC update and updating the system regularly! If that doesn't help, send it in for AppleCare.

  • 2008 Macbook backlight problem - Should I care?

    Hi, I've seen several other people have a similar problem. When left inactive for even a fairly short while (maybe 10 minutes?), my computer appears to black out. Upon closer inspection, I see a very faint trace of what was last on screen. After some trial and error, I discovered that I can take the brightness all the way down with F1 and then back up with F2 and that revives it (sometimes just for an instant and then it blacks out again but THEN it sticks the second time). It sounds like something that can be fixed by Apple but...do I need to bother? As long as it has this simple remedy, I can live with it as long as it's not just an early symptom of a bigger problem headed my way. Does anyone know if there's danger in letting it go on like this?

    Do other optical disks - CDs or DVDs - work correctly? If not you probably have an optical drive that is not functioning correctly. If they do, there may be a problem with that one install disk.
    You can download the installer for MS Office 2011 directly from Microsoft over the Internet, but you would have to pay for it.
    Best of luck.

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro (A1260) will not startup

    Greetings!
    I was given a 2008 MacBook Pro that will not startup. I press the power button and it trys to start for like 5 seconds and goes no further. The battery is fully charged and the powercord is pluged in. I know that Apple has it listed a "Vintage", but I'd like to get it working. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    David

    David,
    were you also given two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro, called “Mac OS X Install Disc 1” and “Mac OS X Install Disc 2”? You’ll need those discs to be able to further diagnose the current problem. If those discs weren’t given to you, you can purchase a replacement pair from Apple.

    What did you "put as slave?" What Mac model do you have, exactly?

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro screen has now got interference across the whole screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable interference from bad reception. What is the problem here?

    My 2008 MacBook Pro has interference across the full screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable TV screen with bad reception. Any idea of what the problem might be?

    Took it to the Apple Store, they determined it's my screen that's messed up (they connected to another monitor, and since the lines didn't mirror onto the monitor it couldn't have been my GPU making the lines but rather the screen itself), so not connected to my wifi issue or a potential logic board issue, so I'm going to get my screen, wifi card, and trackpad (it's been failing too but that wasn't urgent at all) replaced for $330 using their flat-rate repair service which is much better than I imagined in terms of price.

  • 2008 Macbook Air Screen Hinge Problem

    Hi all, so my 2008 Macbook Air's hinge got a little loose, and I was told Apple would replace it for free, so I took it to them. HUGE MISTAKE. After the hinge was replaced the screen didn't fully line up when the laptop was closed and the screen started going out like once every 2 weeks, but only for like a tenth of a second so I never really thought it was a problem. It never did this before Apple fixed the loose hinge. About 6 months after the hinge was replaced, it started doing it daily, and shortly after that it did it every time I open the laptop, so now it officially is a problem for me. I brought it back to Apple and they told me that I would have to pay for an expensive new repair or buy a new laptop, even after I explained to them that the laptop was perfectly fine before they replaced the hinge. They said I should have come within 3 months, but I was back at school and it was not a problem at all then, nor did I think it would be. I brought it to a 3rd party repair shop and they did not open the laptop but they said it looks like the screen cable is being pinched by the new hinge since it is not lined up perfectly. Is there anything that can be done or do I have to buy a new laptop?

    I'm a college student with no car or Apple store nearby and the laptop was shipped back to me because of that. If I had to go another week without a laptop that would have been disasterous, but more importantly I had no way of knowing it would stop working or that the slight misalignment was anything other than cosmetic, I'm no tech genius and I clearly wasn't the one who put the laptop together wrong. It wasn't even my fault the hinge got loose in the first place! Sigh, I suppose if they can't make this right I hope I can learn to use Windows.

  • MacBook pro when windows 7 has startup problem and Mac os doesn't work

    I installed windows 7 on my MacBook pro and it did work well. But now windows has a startup problem and "startup repair" couldn't solve it, so I can't use both Mac os and windows and my laptop has become completely useless. Any suggestion?

    Reboot and hold down command-R at the sound of the chime, that should take you to the Lion recovery partition, if it does go to disk utility and see if you have an OSX partition at all.
