Apple Logo Stuck While Booting (Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007)

As I have installed Mac OS X 10.7.2, I tried to put it on my computer on the Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007) I tried everything to make it work. It just still shows with a Apple logo with the "beach circle" on it. Once i turn it on, I just know that the software went in but It does not show the screen about it.
Please help if you can.
I want this to work

oo close. but no.
Once you download the recovery disk assistant, doublt click it and it'll open up an installer. This installer will ask you where you want to install the RDAssistant. Make sure you choose your USB drive not your hard drive. Name the usb drive before doing this if it is unclear which is which.
something like "MyUSBdrive" or "LionRecoveryA".
And then proceed to install it on the usb.
Once you have done that you will plug it into the computer that you can't get into and run the usb through that. To get to the usb recovery partition, you'll have to hold option down to get to the drive.
if this doesn't work, go to an apple specialist (apple store) who can assist you directly.

  • Apple Logo Stucks while boot up song is playing

    So, since I found the problem, the music of the booting is hearing. BUT the screen is stuck with the Apple Logo and the "beach circle" frozen. Any problems with that?
    Please help !!!
    Thank you

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • What is the expected battery life for a battery in the MacBook Pro (Late 2007)?

    I purchased a replacement battery from an Apple Retailer for my son's 17" MacBook Pro (Late 2007) in December 2009. Last week, he gets a "service battery" message and the battery won't hold a charge. Is this the best we can expect in terms of battery life? It was supposed to be an Apple Battery.

    Has your son been calibrating the battery per the user manual schedule?  Has he been using the computer properly? According to the user manual it states in part:"Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings."
    MacBook Pro: Care, Use, and Safety Information
    "Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn."

  • MacBook Pro Late 2007 Keyboard Cleaning

    I have a Macbook Pro Late 2007 with the older style keyboard and I really want to clean it because there are dust around the keys. I tried spraying compressed air but that only got me so far, so I was wondering is it a good idea to take the keys apart and clean it or is there a better way to do it? If the Apple Store has a service for this then I'd be grateful to bring my laptop in.

    I've taken off notebook keys to replace them - but never removed them all to clean them. I would be a bit nervous doing that as it's fairly easy to snap those caps. You can call the Apple Store to ask - or just make an appointment for a Genius Bar visit and see what they say they can or may do.
    Good luck,

  • Can i use an WD Scorpio Black 750GB in my Macbook pro late 2007 ver 3.1 ??

    Hi everybody
    Just wondering of I would run into problems installing an WD Scorpio Black 750GB in my Macbook pro late 2007 ver 3.1. 2.6Ghz.
    Already have 2 500GB installed in RAID but need more space and want to upgrade but someone told me that this MBP ver 3.1 only supports max 500GB drives......
    Is that true??
    Thanks

    If the hard drive is 9.5mm thick any SATA hard drive can be used.
    A few may require jumpers if they are higher than 1.5Gbps in data speed.
    Only 17" MacBook Pros of that generation could take 12.5mm thick drives.
    The capacity is not normally the limit anymore, it is the thickness and data path speeds that make a difference. Also your machine supports external SATA drives that are 3.5" with this adapter:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/EXP34SATA2P1/
    These drives are faster than any internal, ethernet, or Firewire drives you can add to your machine.

  • Spining wheel and apple logo at starup , my macbook pro doesn't boot...!?

    my macbook have some problems. it stuck up and not response and i only can force shutdown it .when i want to turn it on , it stuck up and only show spining wheel and apple logo and doesn't boot . i repair disk permissions in disk utility and reset nvpram . but didn't work.i tried to boot to safe mode but progress bar after about 1/3 of bar hidden and again a spining wheel and apple logo . lastly  i restore my macbook with time machine in recovery hd.but this problem occured for second time and third time.what i should to do ?     sorry for my bad english

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Yosemite stuck on boot - MacBook Pro Mid 2010

    I've read just about every discussion on apple support for this problem but still nothing seems to work for me. My mac has been stuck at about the 50% spot on the gray progress screen with the apple logo every time I start it up.
    I left it up for 8 hours yesterday. Manually powered it off for the night and then let it try for another 5 hours today. I've tried Command+S and repairing the disk that way, Command+R when rebooting leaves me with a bright white unresponsive screen, holding ALT/OPTION and using the restore drive puts me right back at the 50% progress bar, and for the life of me I cannot figure out safe mode. I hold down shift when I hear the chime and let go when I see the apple logo but it just proceeds to the same gray progress screen. Either I'm doing it wrong or it just will not work.
    I have a backup of my computer on an external hard drive from early this year but I would like to not have to restore back to that. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated as I'm approaching 48 hours of frustration with this problem. Thanks!

    Hi silencer.
    I reinstalled Arch in my MacBook (not Pro/mid 2007) a few days back.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Made a clean install of OS X. This is not necessary, but I wanted to do it because the old installation was all bloated. Altough the first time I installed arch I just had to make some room so that bootcamp could create the partition, but again, making a new install is not necessary.
    2. Create Partitions. Booted from Arch CD (32 bit), then I created two partitions, root and home, I have 3 GB of ram so didn't care about a swap partition. You can create them with parted or any other app, and create the filesystem while creating the partitions. Then you have to reboot and have rEFIT to fix the partition table or you won't be able to install GRUB on the installation process.
    3. Boot live CD again and install. Follow the MacBook wiki. When you are in the "prepare hard drive" section make sure to only choose the mount points. I made the mistake to re-create the filesystem and had to resync the partition table with rEFIT. Then I had to install GRUB manually by booting the live CD and chrooting into the new install.
    4. Install GRUB. When you get to the Install bootloader section choose to install it on the /boot partition, since the wiki and the installer specify this. And it works!. My old arch install also had GRUB installed on /dev/sda3 (my root/boot partition).
    Notes:
    - My Partition scheme.
    /dev/sda1 efi partition (not visible on Mac).
    /dev/sda2 Mac
    /dev/sda3 Arch
    /dev/sda4 Home
    - Important.
    Before installing Arch I installed ubuntu 10.10. Ubuntu installed GRUB2 on my Mac's MBR, then the first time I installed Arch, the installation process ended up fine with GRUB in /dev/sda3, but when I selected Linux on rEFIT it booted with GRUB2, that still was on MBR. Then I had to erase it, I used lilio for this , just to leave my MBR free from GRUB2, after that I could boot GRUB on my root partition.
    Hope this helps.

  • Apple logo bright spot on macbook pro display.

    Recently I found a bright spot just behinde the apple logo on my macbook pro mc 723 (early 2011) display...it seems that the light of the logo passes through the display...what can I do for it?! It is so bothering especially when working on a white or bright gray screen...

    Yes it it because there is a bright light behind the lid, in the room/area you are in, and it is shining through the white Logo onto the screen. Place something over the logo or turn off the light you have on behind the lid.
    EDIT:
    There is No light in the Logo. It is lit by the lights in the the screen. If you dim the screen the logo will also dim. It is because there is a bright light, floor or desk lamp, behind the screen. Turn it off.

  • Power On, Apple Logo, Grey Screen (2005 macbook pro)

    Ah what's wrong with it
    When I turn on my laptop, the normal apple logo and loading spinner pop up, and when they go away, I'm just left with a grey background. Whas going on

    Also, my cursor has 15 horizontal lines on it... I have no idea what that means. They extend from the cursor itself and continue down in a line, about 4x15 pixels each.
    Sounds a lot like a GPU issue. Run Apple Hardware Test to see what it shows.

  • Macbook Pro Late 2007 Won't Power On

    My Macbook Pro's battery has been going for a while. It's needed to be plugged in to operate for at least a year. I shut it down last night. This morning, I tried to power on while plugged into wall, and the light on the Clamshell opener on the front will only flash while I'm holding down the button. I can hear the hard drive whirring, but when I let go of the button, everything shuts down. If I continue to hold the button, after about fifteen seconds the Clamshell light begins flickering and everything shuts off.
    I've removed and reinserted the battery, checked battery status with button on bottom (all four green lights light up) checked the adapter for debris and damaged pins, unplugged from wall and replugged in two minutes later, and nothing seems to work.
    Is this battery totally shot, or is there something seriously wrong with the machine? I've got a lot of stuff that I can't lose on that machine, so I'm hoping the hard drive isn't fried and, worst case scenario, if the machine is dead, I can get what I need off the hard drive and put on a different machine.
    Anyone else seen anything like this before?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Just guessing, but the flashing light may be an indicater that your RAM is bad or not being seen.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2341?viewlocale=en_US
    Try reseating the RAM. If it's third-party RAM and you still have the original Apple RAM, try the Apple RAM. If your computer doesn't see any RAM, it won't start.
    Chances are your hard drive and data are OK since you can hear the drive spin up.
    Here is another article which may be of help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1365
    Whenever you get back up and running, buy an external drive and make a backup and keep it up to date. Otherwise you are at risk of losing everything if your drive does fail.
    Good luck!

  • Black screen after upgrading ram (macbook pro late 2007)

    Dear Community,
    I am willing to donate 100 USD to anyone who is willing/able to provide concrete resolution to this problem.
    I am a professional freelance videoeditor and my job is currently stucked due to inability to boot my macbook pro again.
    After upgrading the RAM of my MBP (late 2007 model, 17'' display, Intel 2.4GHz Dual Core processor), the screen went black and the system did not boot any more.
    I tried to replace the orginal 2 x 1GB DDR2 533 CL=5 SODIMM (single rank) with 2  X 2GB DDR2 800 CL=6 SODIMM (dual ranks).
    After the memory upgrade, the system was restarted, I heard a short beep, but the macbook showed a black screen instead of booting properly. The mainboard was powered, the fan was moving. I saw a green led turned on on the center of one side of the macbook.
    I tried to mount the previuos 2 x 1GB DRAM SODIMMs, but nothing happened. The system keeps not booting even with the original memory.
    I tried already several procedures suggested by the user manual, related to SMC Intel controller reset (with battery and without battery and charger), but those were not effective in restoring the normal operation of the macbook. The system keeps not booting with exactly similar issues (black screen, fan on, short beep after power-on, green LED on).
    I also tried to swap the memory DIMMs into the memory sockets. I tried to use a different combination with 1 NEW 2GB and 1 OLD 1GB  DIMM. But the problem is still there with similar sympthoms.
    DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE OF HOW TO SOLVE THIS?

    My best guess is that you have fried the RAM with static electricity charged up in your body. According to OGELTHORPE a beep on startup is because of no RAM, if when installing you did not do it correctly, you could have fried the RAM, which then your mac will not recognize it. The same with the old RAM, if you tried to re-install it and didn't pull up your sleeve and rest your arm on the inside of the chassis, then it is fried, or if you didn't wear an ESD band and connect it to the the chassis, then it is fried.
    Seen as though you can't startup your mac, I can't say to do an AHT, buy some new ram, and start with the lowest one you can, so its cheap for ya use a different company incase is that;) Crucial.com is really good, I got an 8gb upgrade from 2gb. Let me tell you, it's great!
