Macbook pro will not boot even to grey screen ??

my macbook pro will not boot even to grey screen ?? Just stopped wprking after I closed the cover.

What other indications are there, does the white light turn on, solid or pulsing?, do you hear the startup chime, or bong if you prefer. Can you hear the drive, the fans?
More information from you will assist us trying to help you.

After updating Airport software, Macbook will not boot

I see others have updated with the new Airport software without incident, but not me.
I just ran software update to install the Airport update (hoping it would cure the problem I've had -- and other users as well -- with the connection dropping every 5 minutes with Linksys routers [check the Airport discussion board for much discussion of this]).
After installing, upon restart my Macbook will not boot fully. I get the Apple symbol, then the spinning gear symbol, then a light blue screen and that's it. After a while the fan comes on.
Call it the light blue screen of death.
All was working fine until the update.
I have boot camp and I can boot into Windows.
I have tried removing the battery and resetting the PRAM. No help.
Sigh... Applecare is closed so I cannot call until Friday morning. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can try?
I have my Mac hard disk backed up from a few days ago using Super Duper on a USB drive but I am reluctant to try booting from it as I fear corrupting the drive. Unfortunately I don't have my Mac system CDs with me as I am away from home at the moment.
I just switched to the Mac 6 weeks ago after 3.5 years with a Dell laptop. Never had a single problem like this in all that time. But I still like my Mac.
PD

Well, I spoke too soon. Last night I was able to start up as described above, but this morning when I tried to start it did not even get to the Mac symbol. It just hung at a dark blue screen for several minutes.
Tried restarting with the shift key held down but it would not go into safe mode. Just the dark blue screen.
Resetting PRAM made it startup.
But I'm pretty nervous about this.
So, is there a way in Mac OS X to roll back to the system before the update? In Windows XP this is very simple under System Restore. I have the impression OS X doesn't have this feature and won't until next year with Time Machine.
And I see now I'm not the only user with this problem.
PD

After software update, will not boot up past blue screen

I just did a software update and after restarting, the computer will not go past the blue screen with the spinning wheel at the bottom. Please help! I've tried everything under troubleshooting in the manual. Any other ideas?

Thanks, I was able to fix my problem. It was a software issue. Luckily I did a pretty good backup...I just forgot to back up 2 of my most used applications: iPhoto and Appleworks. They were on my laptop before I did the erase and install, and now they are gone. I thought they would be on the iBook install discs or the OSx software install disc...but no. They had to come from somewhere and I just cannot find them! I know I didn't pay for them. Any thoughts on where they may be? I am so mentally exhausted from these computer woes...I can't think anymore!!! Please help me!

After 10.5 upgrade Mac will not boot from hard drive

I just upgraded to 10.5 Leopard but my mac will not boot from the hard drive even after selecting my hard drive as the startup disk. The mac will start to boot but will cut itself off before the boot is complete. I have to leave the Leopard disk in the mac and hold down C to get the mac to turn on but it only allows me to install the software again.

instead of archive and install you might first want to try restoring your system using TM to some time point before your failed 10.5.1 upgrade. Then try upgrading to 10.5.1 again. I would suggest downloading the full 110 MB upgrade and installing it manually rather than doing it through the software upgrade menu.
You can download the upgrade here:

After installing IOS8.02 my ipad air will not boot up. get white screen and apple logo and then a blue screen. over and over again.

Ipad air wifi only 16gb worked ok with IOS 8.0 . just did upgrade to 8.02 and now it will not boot up. I get a white screen with the apple logo and then a blue screen. it does this over and over. I need help. What do i need to do. Please help.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, restore the iPad > Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

After installing 10.6.8 will not boot even from 10.6 disk HELP

Will only start in safe mode, Safari crashes so no help there to get back to 10.6.7 and will not boot from my 10.6 SL disk. HELP! Can't find the orignal disks so I am in a bad way...

Call AppleCare and request replacement discs. You can also Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC and see if those will fix things up. You updated to 10.6.8 w/o having a bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup? Bad move, that.

IdeaTab A2109A will not boot past Lenovo Splash screen

Tablet was charging over night, early in the morning I heard a couple of beeps, and thought it was my phone. After waking I turned on the Tablet and first saw a green circle with 100%, then after trying the power switch again, it booted to the Lenovo splash screen with the audio and color bar, but will not boot to the operating system.

I gave up and sent the Tablet into Grapevine, Texas under warranty.

W520 will not boot when docked; blue screen

W520 fails to boot 100% of the time when docked. Blue screen shows SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, STOP x0000003B for nvlddmkm.sys
nvlddmkm.sys is the NVIDIA driver, which is version 8.17.12.9620, the latest shown on the NVIDIA and Lenovo websites. BIOS is also the latest.
Systems boots fine if I remove it from the dock, but it will not boot when docked.
Windows 7 PRO SP1
2 external monitors via DVI
Any suggestions?

Boot with Option held down. After the cursor changes to an arrow, Command-. (Command Period) should open and close the optical drive. After you insert the disc, click the curved arrow to have it re-scan the discs for boot volumes. Then select the optical drive and click the straight right-pointing arrow to start.
Try it with the Apple Hardware Test disc first and run Extended Tests.

B/W G3 will not boot past the startup screen

It boots all the way through to the last step - "Login Window Startup". It will not boot in Safe Mode, PRAM reset, etc. No Joy. It has sat and spun the colored wheel of death for hours.
Any suggestions?

Boot from the Install CD by holding down the C key at startup. Do not install or even choose a language. Choose Disk Utility from the Installer Menu. Select your Hard drive and click "Repair". If anything is fixed, rerun again until it has no errors. Then run "Repair Permissions" once. Its many messages can generally be ignored.
If it will not chime a second or third or fourth time in response to the
Command Option p r
keys held down at startup, anecdote says that the PRAM battery is likely to be dead.

System will not boot or POST

I have a Pavilion A8 Vision that will not boot or complete POST and does not communicate in any way. Fans are on, sounds from drives seems like beginning of POST. I have removed and replaced RAM with other piece - no change. When RAM is out of motherboard system will report 5 long beeps and repeat the beeps for 4 to 5 times. Need help and/or advice on replacement of components.

MacBook Pro Will Not Boot Past Apple Loading Screen At All.

I am having a major problem with my MacBook Pro and it just wont boot past the apple loading screen at all

My friend was also trying to install Lion from his account but the .dmg for it did not open so we quit and that night i used it for my essay and finished and then i turned it off and next day in the morining it don't work
HELP ME PLEASE

You can take the drive out of the computer, use a $20 IDE/SATA to USB adpater to another Mac
You can see if you can read the drive directly to gain access grab files, run Disk Utility and perhaps it can repair it.
If you can't read the drive then there is DataRescue for a whopping $99 but it will read any deleted (but not scrubbed, encrypted or overwritten) data for recovery. Least that way you can get your files back.
Once your data is off, Zero Erase the whole thing, install 10.6 on it with the other Mac.
When installed in the sick mac, the hardware firmware will read the new EFI firmware, load it and you'll have the boot keys back again ON THE SECOND BOOT, it doesn't load on the first.

G4 will not boot past start up screen

My G4 froze (while in Explorer, again). Ran Apple Disk Utility - which failed (1 volume - HD - needs repair). Then ran Disk Warrior to rebuild and optimize the HD - all the reports were ok, lots repaired, etc. Check with Apple Disk Utility again - disk verifies as ok, no problem - BUT - the same problem persists - the machine will not pass the start-up screen (Starting Mac OS X). I am running 10.4.11
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? Or, am I stuck doing a fire wire target disk mode to peel off any essential data followed by a system reinstall. For what it is worth this happens too much with this beast - I`ve had two HDs, replaced the RAM etc.
Anybody have a clue?

An update - after running the Apple hardware test (disk) it seems as though there is a memory problem detected at startup. This would be in the installed 168 pin DIMM (not the more easily accessible upgrade slot. As memory can cause a variety of problems I will proceed to replace this and see if this fixes the problem. This is not the first time I have had memory problems - although it was previoulsy the SO-DIMM 144 pin card.
