Enabled Apache and now my MacBook Pro won't start at all

Subject pretty much says it all. I was enabling Apache, php and installing ioncube. Restarted the computer, because I wanted to make sure Apache really was restarting... and now the computer will not come on at all.
I hear the CD start-up bit and then it clinks and is off. The power light illuminates briefly. Anyone ever hear of this or know *** I do now to get my machine back online?

Does it start up in Target Disk Mode? Try holding T while booting up.

I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and now my MacBook Pro won't start up.

I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and moved the system.kext and two others to my desktop and deleted the originals and now the MacBook Pro won't start up. All I get at start up is the apple icon then a bunch of text shows up part of which says Mac OS version: not yet set. then the apple icon turns into the power icon and tells me to turn off the computer. I've tried reinstalling from the install DVD by holding down option when powering on and selecting the install DVD and it just goes to a white screen with the apple icon and stays like that. I didn't have the disk utility on my Mac before this happened because I deleted it to make room on my computer a while ago so I'm not sure if that's why it won't load the install DVD but anyone who knows the solution to this with out going to get it repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Never mind my dad just found the original install DVD and that worked. Before I was using an install disc that Apple sent me for another issue I was having, but thanks for replying so quickly and trying to help on this Thanksgiving day!!!

I was installing mountain lion and now my macbook pro won't start up

I was installing Mountain Lion and i restarted my computer and now it won't boot up.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Installed Yosemite...now my MacBook pro won't start up. Keep showing "Kernel Panic!" HELP!

installed Yosemite and now my MacBook pro won't start up. Keeps showing "kernel panic"
PLEASE HELP ME!

If you can't start up and log in in the usual way, try in safe mode.
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.
Log in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If you have only one account, you are the administrator.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
If you're able to log in, 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

17" Macbook Pro won't start at all. I shut it down last night at 80% and now there is only black screen, no light, no sound. What to do?

My 17" Macbook Pro won't start at all. I shut it down last night at 80% and today I get only a black screen with no sound, no light, nothing. The power cord light does show orange when plugged in. I don't know exactly which OS it is. It's model # A1286. I've tried all the tips about holding down different keys to no avail. Anyother ideas? (The serial # is w8******agu if that helps.) Many thanks.
<Edited By Host>

I had the exact same issue... Macbook Pro late 2008 with Core2Duo. Went to all the steps suggested in the knowledge base, tried to reset the SMC, but to no avail. Took it to the Macstore in Mexico, the wanted to replace logic board for $800.... Finally, I sent it to a logic board repair service, where they "fixed" the logic board for $200. It worked perfectly for 4 months, then happened again
Any ideas?? I would appreciate any help!!!!!

MacBook Pro won't start at all - clicking noise with black screen

Early 2011 MacBook Pro won't start: makes clicking noise after power button is held down, but no screen movement and after click, sounds like computer just stops working. Already did a SMC reset, and undid battery to try to run on charger power only. Same result every time. Also, my Apple Care expired 3 days ago. A few weeks ago had to repair a disk using Disk Utility because there was a discrepancy between how much storage was in the drive versus how much was actually being used.

You likely have the problem that many of us 15" and 17" 2011 models are having: a faulty soldering GPU and as discussed here -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0. It usually, but not always, beings with screen glitches and then gets to the point where the machine will simply not boot.
It's ashamed that you're not longer under AppleCare which would have, at least, got you a new logic board. A new logic board, however, doesn't usually fix the situation - only a BGA Reballing of the GPU seems to have long-lasting fixes.
Read through a few the articles (not all of them!) and make the decision yourself - and then make the decision about whom your going to contact.
Good luck,

Macbook Pro won't start at all, no chime, no gray screen, nothing

My 2+ year old MacBook Pro won't start. Nothing happens when the start button is pushed, no chime, nothing. I've tried Control-Command-Start; nothing. I've tried with and without power connected; nothing. I've unplugged the power adapter from the wall, still nothing. Any ideas?

You can try a SMC reset, but it that doesn't power something it needs repair or replacement.

Sometimes if the battery was really drained or old, it takes a long time to get it started charging again, like a couple of weeks.

I erased my hard drive and now my Macbook pro won't boot

I bought a new macbook pro the other day, so I decided to erase the hard drive on my 2010 Macbook pro and reinstall my OS cleanly. I erased the hard drive and tried an internet recovery. It downloaded the recovery and would not boot. Tried resetting everything you could name of and it doesn't help. Can't get anywhere with command R, it just freezes. Safe mode won't boot. Command V, eventually ends with an error saying to return to old smc. I pulled the hard drive out and put it in another mac from about the same year and through internet recovery, actually loaded OS Lion back on it. I put it back in the problem mac, and it just freezes at the apple logo and spinning wheel. Can't understand why erasing the hard drive would effect any hardware, but maybe it messed with logic board somehow? I've now tried using the Recovery partition, since OS Lion was loaded on the drive, but it freezes there as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you sure it came with Lion?

Kernel panic and now my MacBook Pro won't boot

My MacBook Pro had been acting a little strange for a while - sometimes applications like Final Cut Express and iTunes would "unexpectedly quit" when I tried to open them and wouldn't work until after a restart. Now, the screen went dim and I got the "you need to restart your computer" message. I did, and it worked for a few minutes, and did it again. Now all it does when I turn it on is chimes, shows the Apple logo as if it is going to start up, and then dies. It is the original Core Duo one so it's out of warranty. Is this the logic board? If not is there any hope of it working again?

Kernel panics are usually cause by hardware problems. Disconnect all devices from your computer & check out the following KB Article & User Tip:

Recently replaced the harddrive in my macbook pro after months of inactivity, now my macbook pro won't start

I own a summer 2008 model Macbook Pro. Last year, my harddrive crashed but I had no way of fixing the macbook at the time. Fast forward to yesterday, I replaced the harddrive in my Macbook Pro with a harddrive that I took from a western digital 320gb external hard drive. Now the laptop isn't starting up. I press the power button, the DVD drive seems to spin up and then...nothing. No lights turn on, no other components make noise, the laptop simply stops booting. Now, I haven't fully charged the battery (only about 40% charged based on the 5 indicator lights on the batter itself), so I was wondering whether or not a fully charged battery would make a difference. Please let me know if you guys need clarification, I know I'm probably being very vague right now.
Thanks!

I appreciate your help, but please don't just put me down like that
Most of the people that come on here, like yourself, don't actually give a resume of their level of experience. They are extremely vaigue, and based on the small paragraph of information it's up to us to try to gauge what level this person is at.
This is an extremely difficult and frustrating thing to have to do, because if we get it slightly wrong either way, and people instantly take offence & go on the defensive. Even though we are all perfect strangers until 3 or 4 sentences ago!

Have you another Install DVD you can try?
Can you boot from any other bootable media, such as a USB Drive? (Holding Option). Or a linux / windows install DVD.

Hi, I just had a session with an apple support staff and now my Macbook Air won't start up. What shall I do?

I contacted Apple support because I couldn't download apps on iTunes.
I got called back by Apple who redirected me to a technician.
The technician had access to my macbook air screen and via her directing me on the screen and via telephone she had me remove a bunch of stuff from my computer.
After that it seemed initially that the iTunes problem was fixed because the iTunes box showed that it was downloading the app. But it just said it was dowloading it but there really wasn't any progress visible.
So I decided to restart the computer but it would never start back up.
I scheduled an appointment at the Genius bar closest to me for tomorrow.
Is there anything else I can do/try?

Since I do not know what she had you remove it will be hard to say what exactly to do. If your original problem was automatic downloads here is what apple says.https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202180 First i would try a pram reset. Command/Option/P/R keys at startup for three chimes. Then if no startup Go to recovery. Command R or Option R at startup. Then use the utility option and check /repair startup volume and also permissions. If still no response you might have to use recovery to reinstall your operating system. You should have your files backup up even though a reinstall does not normally delete personal files.

Yosemite just installed and now logitech media server won't start at all.

Has anyone found a work around for this issue. The Logitech Media server has worked every day for years until I installed Yosemite

Thank you very much! I did not know about the nightly builds. LMS has pretty much worked throughout the years; it may have needed an update now and then but I never had to go looking for beta versions.
I held off upgrading my Mac Pro -- which acts as a server for iTunes and other things around the house -- to Yosemite until today. All was well except for getting LMS to start. I was pretty bummed at the prospect of not having my tunes on my Squeezebox radio. In any case, I'm glad I found my answer in 5 seconds here at the Apple forums. Rock on.
