After forces shut down,restart returns to you tube with no screen

The screen of my Mac book pro has gone black. The key board is lit up and the sound is good. After restarting it, the same you tube site was still on as before I shut it down.

Unfortunately do not know the operating system since I never updated anything and I can't get in to it.
Thanks for your assistance.

If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

PB-G4 wont start after forced shut down

I had to force shut down my PB.when i tried to restart after few minutes | i got Blue screen with nothing else ( no progress spinning wheel or anything)\
I tried to boot from external. I get two arrows and a wrist watch which stops after a minute( the touch pad stops too after a minute)
I tried booting from Apple orignal PB CD. Same as above
I tried to install Tiger X from original CD.It wouldnt.
please help.I have valuable data on my HD.

Try things in Apple doc.#106464 for your startup issue.
Also, try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. Smokes link will help walk you thru it.
Cheers!

Start off with a flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac and then if you are still getting no where, run the Apple Hardware Test.

Keep getting a grey screen with circle with slash at start up after force shutting down

My MacBook is fairly new (purchased in August 2012) and today it was running fine and began freezing... When this has happened in the past I have just force shut downed it, and it started up normally. This time around when I went to start it up I got the apple logo on a grey screen followed by a circle with a horizontal slash (like a do not enter sign).... tried to safe boot it and I got another grey screen but now with a folder icon. Please help!!!

Whoooo - if you have no backups (what were you thinking?) then hang on if you can and some wise soul may come across and give us a solution.
What you need to do is to repair your drive from an external. What happens when you do a 'Command+R' upon restart after the chime?
I also clicked on the stuff on the right and it is really dated! But current Mavericks' users will surely come along and address the issue. Until it is solved, please don't erase the installation, since you do not have a backup!

Macbook pro froze during partition. after force shut down it, a part of hard drive lost

2011 15' Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion.
I was trying to use Bootcamp to install windows. Somehow I got confused and used disk utility to partition my hard drive and get 100gb for windows (before that it was 500 gb with 260gb free). And after 10 minutes the computer froze and I could do nothing but force shut down it. Rebooted and disk utility shows that it has 160 gb free space now. I repaired disk and permissions but none of them worked.
How can I get my 100 gb back? Help pls
Thanks

Check this link and see it any info will help.

After forced shut down iosx does not accept the password on the mcbook air

Hi there,
I cannot login into the mcbook air after having to force a shut down.
- While surfing with Safari, the mcbook froze for a longer period of time.
- We forced the shut down pressing the on/off button.
- After rebooting, we have a grayish screen with the apple logo, the user name, the password field and in the bottom three options: idle mode (rest), restart & shut down.
- When the password is entered, the wheel shortly turns and the mcbook stays with the same login screen without letting me enter the mcbook.
- When using an incorrect password the password-field shakes.
I tried booting with CMD + R and did check the volume and the access rights. Both showed no failures.
What could I try next to fix the problem? Ideally without having to set up the mcbook from scratch and losing the settings and data.
I do not know the exact IOSX status. It was bought in Nov-2012 and updated once since then I assume it is Snow Leopard
Thank you for your help!
Regards
Lottchen2007

If you can boot into the Recovery Volume, it isn't Snow Leopard.
Startup - Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Startup - Gray Screen

I cant force quiet or relaunch the finder. it says"not responding". Although other apps are running just fine. I've tried restart several times/force shut down several time. I am using a mac book pro retina, Mavericks 10.9.5.Nothing works. Any idea??

How do i quiet finder?i can't force quiet or relaunch finder. it says' "finder not responding". Therefore I couldn't shut down. I've tried to force shut down & restart several times. but still finder won't quiet. Any idea please???? I am using a macbook pro retina with Mavericks 10.9.5.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/
com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word file, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit" arted and tried to open

After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit" . This is REALLY annoying!!

May be it is the Resume feature.
System Preference > General > Number of recent items
Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

I tried to reload my Ipod touch. I accidently selected "start new ipod" icon on the Ipod and then "back up existing ipod" on Itunes. Now the Ipod is unresponsive, constantly shutting down and restarting. Even after multiple "forced" shut downs. Help!

After updating the os, I tried to shut down, clear and reload my Ipod touch. Here's where I goofed: at the prompt for starting the reload process, I selected "start as new Ipod" on the Ipod, but in Itunes, I selected " back up existing Ipod from computer" or something like that. Now the ipod is constantly shutting down and restarting and no controls can be accessed. All I can do is the "forced shut down" which I have done multiple times and let sit for a half hour off.

Disregard, hooked up to itunes and clicked on summary, selected restore, all is well.

Macbook Pro Won't Shut Down, Restart, or Logout after using Onyx.

Hi,
Earlier this week I found that my macbook wouldn't shutdown, restart, or logout from the finder menu (or any other menu, such as Onyx or Software Update). The only way I could get it to restart was through Terminal. I tried every solution, but nothing would fix it. After backing everything up, and doing a clean reinstall, everything was fine. Then, when I used Onyx, I tried to install the Archives Preference pane and the Processor Preference pane. The window just sort of hung there not responding - and finally I had to force quit Onyx. Now my system is back to not shutting down, restarting, or being able to log out again. The good thing is that I think I've isolated the problem. The bad thing is that I have no idea how to fix it. I tried uninstalling Onyx, but that did nothing. I've used Onyx regularly and have never had any issues, and I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem.
Can anyone help? I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this topic. If there is a better forum for it, let me know and I can repost.
Another problem that I'm having is when I open iTunes, the dock icon comes up for about a second and crashes. I tried completely reinstalling iTunes, but that hasn't worked. Perhaps I missed something? BTW - everything else is operating just fine (i.e. Quicktime, etc.)

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Run Disk Utility from your Mac install disc.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
You do not need Onyx, especially not good for Snow Leoaprd. You can run cron tasks from the iStat Pro widget available here.

My Macbook Retina doesn't log back in from sleep after typing in the password, have to force shut down

Hi all,
Recently i've been having this problem once in a while (once every few days) that when I opened up my computer from sleep, I typed in my password and clicked enter. After that, it shows that normal grey box thing; normally it logs in after a few seconds, but sometimes i wait for 2 minutes and still it doesn't log in. I sleep it and wake it again, but this time i type the password and i click enter, but nothing happens, i can't click switch user either. At this point my only choice is to force shut down my macbook. This problem is a bit annoying since sometimes i have unsaved work.
Thanks in advance for any reply/ies.

Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly to restart.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Now the macbook will not turn on at all

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.

Recovering files after a force shut down

**** all,
My mbp froze up last night and I had to do a forced shut down. When I rebooted all was fine except for a pages document that was open during the freeze was lost. Can this file be recovered?
Thanks,
Brian

I don't know if Pages periodically saves to a temp file, but if it does, that temp file should be in a Recovered Files folder in your trash can. If it's not there, or if you emptied your trash and got rid of that Recovered Files folder, then you're out of luck. Any unsaved changes are gone.
