After last update, my MacBook will not start.

Any suggestions?

Hi Jodie...
The startup disk may need repairing or you need to reinstall the Mac OS X.
Use Lion Recovery

  • The macbook will not start.

    The macbook will not start. begins with "Deng", then the initial blank screen with flashing folder and question mark. Unfortunately, the DVD player is dead. I tried with a USB external drive and the installation disk but nothing happens (keys, C, D or N). I managed to get the mouse pointer on a blank screen by holding the alt key at startup.
    My impression is that the disc is filled abnormally and can no longer boot. Probably jumped the permissions. I explain: the disk was almost full. Then my wife tried to connect to a site (German) images (art history) who was struggling to load the large amount of data downloaded. At that point the machine was stopped and forcibly turned off. From the day after is no longer divided.
    I have no idea how to do it again and all attempts have failed. As a last test I can try with another mac connected and with the T key pressed (target). But I ask: can I connect with a USB-USB cable?

    Thank's for answer.
    The internal DVD player is broken. I have an external DVD drive (USB). I have the install DVD for the OS. But the evidence that I did not have success. What evidence do you recommend? May you confirm that the USB connection is useless? We need a firewire cable crossed?

  • After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process.

    After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
    Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:
    XML Parsing error: undefined entity
    Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
    Line number 18, Column 1:
    <dialog
    ^
    Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

    Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
    Thank you very much again.
    Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
    In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

  • Macbook Will Not Start Up

    My Macbook will not start up
    I've had it about 5 years and around 3 years ago it started to go wrong with random shut downs so i took it into my local apple store and they replaced almost everything internally free under the special warranty i paid for.
    since then its worked flawlessly, i dont use it often but did about a week ago to setup my new airport express (which wouldnt work from a pc)
    now .. it wont start up
    i't dosen't have a battery, that ended its serviceable life around a year ago with a life span of about 4 minutes so since then i've just run it plugged into the mains charger and has been absolutely fine.
    when i plug the power adapter in the green light comes on and when i press the power button i can hear something inside whirring on start up (i suspect the HDD) and then the optical drive makes it usual sound ... but nothing else. there is no chime and the little white indicator does nothing also.
    i tried unplugging everything and holding down the power button and that didnt do anything.
    it's running Snow Leopard and literally has nothing on it, no files, no installed software, it only used from browsing the net so is pretty much empty except the OS.
    PLEASE can someone help me find the problem and get my mac running again

    Well i never did try the command option p r combo, but have now and makes no difference.
    and the macbook dosen't work again.
    sometimes it sounds like it wants to boot, the HDD spins up and the optical drive makes a noise but no screen and no chime.
    sometimes it does the above and then seems to keep rebooting as the optical drive keeps making the start up noise it does on boot about 5-6 times in a row.
    but on all occasions ... still no boot and no screen.
    Logic board fail ???

    Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

  • My macbook will not start up. It gets stuck on the page with the apple and the pinwheel. Can anyone assist?

    My macbook will not start up. It gets stuck on teh opening page with the apple. It was working fine and all of a sudden i cant get it to work. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? Or, is there a bypass to the start up page?

    You won't lose your files unless something goes very wrong -- which may already have happened. You absolutely must have a backup before you do anything else. If you don't already have one, boot from your installation disc and follow the instructions in this article under "Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility":

    G5 has these hardware issues:
    -- bad capacitors on logic board
    -- bad capacitors in power supply
    -- badly soldered video chip
    -- "There were several Mac models with flat panel displays that had bad displays.
         Most had serial numbers beginning with "W8"---the code for one specific factory.
         This affected PowerBooks as well. If that's the case, the rest of the computer
         is probably fine." by Allan Jones in

  • Macbook will not start after sharing and permissions error

    I was cleaning around my files and went into the info of my Mac.
    I clicked get info on the desktop icon and accidently messed up the sharing and permissions settings.
    My computer would not let me into my Mac icon on my desktop, saying I didn't have certain permissions.
    I tried restarting and now my Macbook will not startup. It turns on and loads, but never goes past that.
    I removed the battery and placed it back in but it is not working still.
    Thanks for the help guys!

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • After last uppgrade, Quicktime Pro will not play audio on my avi movies.

    After last update, I will not get the audio on my old .avi movies. Does Anyone else have the same problem?

    That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
    Many thanks.

  • MacBook will not start up (no display, no chime)

    I have a MacBook (white plastic housing, Intel Core 2 Duo processor) that will not start up. I had replaced an original crashed Toshiba hard drive with a new Seagate drive. That worked well for about 3 months, then suddenly the new HD was causing problems and even reinstalling OS X would not work (installation could not be completed). I sent the Seagate drive back under warranty, and they replaced it with a refurb drive of the same model. (Presumably this means they confirmed that the HD I sent back in was defective.)
    Yesterday I installed the refurb drive, and now the MacBook will not boot up, even to the OS X install DVD in the optical drive. Booting up holding down "C" or option does not help. When I press the power button, there is no chime and the display does not come on, but the white power light on the front right of the case is on. The optical drive spins up, and there is a very brief flash on the display, but then nothing happens. After a few minutes, the optical drive spins down, and I power down by holding the power button. I tried booting up without a HD installed, and the same occurs.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    It often is useful if you indicate what exact MBP you have and the OS you have installed.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:
