what do i do

It's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Run the Apple Hardware Test.

Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

  • T60 froze. wont boot. black Screen

    Hello.
    My T60 2007 QPG froze.
    Pushed the power button to shut down.
    Now it wont boot: fan starts then stops, just a blank black screen, no beep or beep sequence.
    After reading the board i removed cmos battery, ram, hdd: no beep indicating an error.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks

    Hello mate,
    If you have no beep when you remove the RAM, your motherboard is dead.

  • MacBook won't go past the boot-up screen?

    Okay, so I had about 3,008 of other peoples' pictures on my MacBook that I didn't want. I sent them all to the Trash in iPhoto to get rid of them. I then two-finger clicked on the Trash in iPhoto and told it to empty trash. It asked me if I was sure I wanted to delete all 3,008 photos and I clicked yes. (in retrospect, I should have clicked no.) After the program had sat doing nothing except turning my mouse pointer into a spinning rainbow-wheel for about 15 minutes, I decided something must be wrong. I two-finger clicked the iPhoto application in my dock to try and tell it to Force Quit, but it just froze. the application didn't even shrink back to normal when I pulled the mouse pointer away from it. My friend said to just turn it off and try turning it back on, and held the power button down so the computer shut off. I waited a few minutes, tried to turn it back on, and all I got was the boot up screen (white with the gray apple logo and a spinning wheel thing underneath it) for about five minutes and then it shut itself off. It has been doing this every time I've tried to turn it on since yesterday afternoon. PLEASE help me!!

    I should also mention that I kind of just guessed on which operating system I'm running... I don't know, and I assume it's whatever they originally put on the MacBooks in 2008.

  • Imac is stuck on the grey boot up screen!

    my imac froze while using safari (that evil spinning wheel showed up & wouldnt go away) so i had to restart it manually. & now it wont get past the grey boot up screen! i have no idea what to do! im freaking out cuz just the other day i imported a whole bunch of my newborn sons photos & didnt back anything up!!!! (i know that was dumb of me, was not thinking at all!) i really really really REALLY dont want to lose any of his pictures! theyre all ive got! Someone please help me!!!!! ive only had the imac for about a month; bought it used from a friend & shes never had any problems with it! im pretty sure theres no apple warrenty either.
    oh & ive already tried restarting it more than once & unplugging the power cord & what not!
    help me out please! & thank you!

    Boot the Mac to Safe Mode - turn off, turn on, as soon as you hear the startup chime press and hold Shift. You'll see a grey bar appear at the bottom of the screen, when you do you can let go of shift.
    See if it boots in this mode, if it does then make sure all the SW is up to date and then try rebooting again.
    Make sure there is nothing connected to your iMac other than the power cord - no external HD's, USB hubs etc - if there is then disconnect them and try to boot.
    If none of the above works then we would need to boot to the install DVD and verify the HD to see if there's any errors that may cause it to not boot. Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD 1 and boot the Mac holding C. Choose the language and then open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu along the top of the screen. Select the HD and then Macintosh HD and verify/repair each one in turn.
    When done try rebooting the Mac.
    If this still doesn't work then you may need to reinstall the OS. Naturally it shouldn't hurt your files and it's recommended you have a backup just in case. As you did not back up your files (naughty, naughty) you won't really have a choice. Follow the above steps to boot to the disk and then choose to Reinstall Mac OS X and follow the prompts.
    If you need an install DVD because you have lost or damaged yours then call AppleCare. Regardless of your support they can sell you one for $16+tax and ship it out to you. If you asked really nicely they might even make an exception and ship it for free .
    Best of luck.

  • Tecra S1 doesn't boot and hangs at (boot) splash screen

    Tecra S1 Model PT831E-107EQ-GR
    Problems started a month ago. It randomly didn't booted. After some power off/on tries it finally booted and worked properly. Because it happened more often I've bought a new hard drive (Toshiba 40 GB). I've had Acronis True Image and planned to make a disk clone to the new drive. The problem is that a notebook now doesn't boot anymore so I cannot boot it from A CD nor hard drive. It stops at "In Touch..." logo with "Press [F12] for the boot device selection menu" text and doesn't react any key. I tried to boot with no CD, no hard drive - the same. I also connected internal HD using ATA-To-USB adapter - the same. Does it mean that's not a disk problem but motherboard or other components? Is it possible to enter BIOS before boot selection screen?
    Regards,
    Jacek

    Problem solved. There was a broken PCB under the CPU socket. I've found that pressing with my finger and holding CPU while booting allowed to startup the system while releasing the finger caused system hanging and its total crash. Our local service tried to repair it but with no success. Finally two days ago we've found a working motherboard (a used one) for about 200 USD and now I'm waiting for installing it in the laptop. Th regular price for a new one (about 400 Euro) is too much, but 200 USD is OK. I do like the laptop because of its ports (LPT, RS232). It's used for programming and controlling some older devices. Newer laptops have no LPTs nor RS232s and it's not easy to find a working USB adapter because the software we're using is even from DOS times and has hard-coded IRQs for those ports.
    Anyway, I hope it'll back from the service fresh and new, and of course working ;)
    Thank you for your tips.
    Regards,
    Jacek

  • While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

    While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

    We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing.  Never install anything if you do not know what it is.  Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
    That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick.  Although I am not positive. 
    Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed.  Hopefully, someone else will chime in here. 
    GOOD LUCK!

    While updating, my I-phone froze with apple on screen. Hasn't moved, please help

    If it's frozen you may have to do a reset.
    Hold down the home button (circle with a square in it) and the sleep/wave button (button on top) together until the phone restarts.
    It may go into recovery mode, which means I hope you have a backup

  • Mac Pro boot option screen freezes after I select the Windows partition

    Hello,
    I have a mid-2010 Mac Pro, and I am currently experiencing an issue regarding booting into Windows 7.  Windows 7 64-bit is installed on its own HDD in bay 2 of my Mac Pro.  When I restart my Mac Pro (from OS X), hold the option key, and select the windows HDD, the computer completely freezes and locks up.  I can't move the mouse or use the arrow keys on the keyboard, and the boot select screen completely locks up after selecting the Windows HDD.  This issue does not happen, however, after a cold shutdown and startup.  If I completely shut down my Mac Pro, start it up, hold the option key, and select the Windows HDD, it boots into Windows perfectly fine.  It is only after a reboot from OS X that the boot select screen completely locks up after selecting the Windows HDD.
    I have tried everything I can think of, including resetting the PRAM, SMC, repairing disk permissions, etc.  I did also call AppleCare a while back, and the technician on the phone was unable to find a solution.  I have also tried selecting the Windows partition in the Startup Disk pane of system preferences, and that did not work either.  I have also tried utilities such as BootChamp to automate the restart.  Same issue.  Could this be a hardware issue?
    Thank you,
    Robert

    pull OS X and try
    Too early to even try F8 - Windows safe boot
    Try booting Windows DVD would be first on my list
    Every month on 2nd Tuesday all the security updates for Windows patches come out
    Clone your Windows hard drive - $20 Paragon Clone OS are just like CCC: bootable, swapable backup copies
    Don't try using and it has nothing to do with OS X
    It may be something you or Windows installed though or even an update pending on restart.

  • How do I fix the GRAY boot-up screen with FLASHING QUESTION-mark FOLDER?

    When I turn on the MacBook Pro laptop, I opened up the Safari Browser and its when the problem started. It was stuck on an loading infinite loop. I decided to force quit the application and/or turn off the mac by the Menu options, It did not work. So I did a "Hard" Shut-down and restarted the Mac, the Boot up screen stood gray for like a minute until the Flashing ? Folder icon showed up!.
    My sister's laptop's warranty is expired so I wonder how can I fix it without having to spend too much money on a simple troubleshooting tip.
    How can I download/create a boot-up Disk/Flash Drive so I can reset it to factory settings?
    I cannot access the laptop because It's kind-of software bricked if you ask me. Also, I do not know how to check the Mac OS version outside of the "About Mac" menu. I do have another Mac which is a desktop computer with a CD drive.
    I would appreciate some expertise on this issue a.s.a.p. Thank you!

    Ok, now I am stuck:
    Why does my Mac boot its OS from the Flash Drive instead of the INTERNAL HARD DRIVE???a
       If I start up my MacBook Pro, It will have the flashing question mark folder UNLESS i plug in the OS-Boot flash drive. When I at the desktop screen and work on a program, When I unplug the Flash drive, THE OS WILL CRASH AS IF I TOOK it's soul (OS x Lion) out of the body (MacBook Pro Laptop)
    this is frustrating because when I did the INTERNET RECOVERY, When I install OS x Lion, the Flash Drive only show up as an option as opposed to the HDD.
    I cannot format the hard-drive in DISK UTILITY because it's grayed out. This is just frustating. I never had problems with PC Windows OS recovery but this (Mac OS).

  • Mac pro (2013) fails to see usb 3.0 connected drives in boot selection screen

    Hi,
    I am using the late MacPro and have three drives attached via an USB 3.0 hub (Anker Uspeed USB 3.0 7 Port Hub).
    The hub has a VIA VL812 chipset with the latest firmware update (9081) - I have verified this.
    My problem is, when I enter the boot device selection screen (by pressing the alt-key during startup) none of the drives is recognized.
    When I plug any drive directly into one of the four USB 3.0 ports of the MacPro, thereby bypassing the hub, it becomes visible and I can use it to boot.
    AFTER the boot process, when OS X has finished loading, everything works fine. I have used two of the drives to backup several GBs of data from my main drives (connected via Thunderbolt) with no issues.
    Is anybody able to connect drives through a USB 3.0 hub and use them in the boot selection screen? Which USB hub do you have?
    Thanks
