Grey Screen, Repeated Restart, after fresh Leopard Install

I own a Santa Rosa 2.4GHz 15" MacBook Pro that I bought in July of 2007. It came preinstalled with Mac OS X Tiger, and I never had problems with it. I have had BootCamp running on it with Windows XP, for PSpice and Microsoft Visual Studio, mostly. I had heard many initial issues with Leopard, and hesitated to upgrade. I finally got around to upgrading to Leopard with an Upgrade Install DVD. The procedure I did to upgrade from 10.4.11 was to back everything up (clone) on my Macintosh HD Volume using SuperDuper! to a freshly wiped external USB Seagate drive, that I can now boot from. I fully erased my MBP drive, deleted the Windows partition, and installed 10.5 from the DVD, allowing it to install all the updates. After the installation, I used the migration tool to import all my old data and applications back to my local hard drive. This seemed to good to be true (and it was). Everything was just as I left it, all my programs, desktop, settings, etc, even the contents of my Trash. I copied the Leopard disk to my USB Seagate Drive, and left it at home. I have since left the country, leaving my Leopard disk behind. However I did manage to bring my USB HD with my cloned Tiger system, and I also have brought my original Tiger Install discs supplied with my MBP.
I should note that I did have Application Enhancer installed on my Tiger system (****, Audio Hijack Pro!!!!). I know and realize that Leopard has had issues with this program since the beginning, it just slipped my mind that I even had it installed, since I rarely used it.
Now the first few days, I was enjoying Leopard, and everything was as smooth as ever. I went ahead and deleted the original Administrator account that Leopard created for me, since the Migration Tool restored my old Admin account. I also wanted to change my login wallpaper, and did so using the Terminal, with some "sudo" commands I researched on Google, for Leopard. Changing the login background was so much easier in Tiger, anyway...I logged out and back in twice to see if my login background changed from Aurora to my custom image, and it worked. So I figured I would give my Mac a nice clean Restart. Upon restart, I was faced with the Grey Screen of Death, just the Apple Logo and the spinning wheel, spinning for about 10 minutes, before it restarted itself. I gave it about an hour or so, and it just kept doing the samething over and over, grey screen, spinning, restart. I borrowed a friend's Leopard disc that came with his regular MacBook, and booted from it, telling me that I would not be able to install Leopard from that disc, since it was designed for a MacBook, not a MacBook Pro, understandable. I was however able to run Disk Utility. I repaired permissions, and it was very actively repairing permissions for about an hour. I also checked the disk and it was okay. Once again, I tried to restart, but to no avail, same thing again. Repairing permission did nothing. I also reset the PRAM and PMU, still nothing. I booted off my cloned Tiger system, and my local drive's file system and data was intact, just the System was messed up. I also hunted down a DoubleLayer DVD+R and burned the copy of the Leopard disc, but it would not boot. I figured Apple was smarter than that, but it was worth a try.
Now I am in Athens, Greece, with no Apple Store in sight, and no way to immediately purchase a legit copy of Leopard to reinstall (upgrade) my system. I really don't want to go back to Tiger, but I have the clone and the install discs. I am not sure what has gone wrong, not sure if it has anything to do with Application Enhancer. Is there anyway I can manually repair this issue? Where do I go from here? Should I just give up and go back to Tiger? I won't be back in the states for quite sometime....HELP!!!

The version of Application Enhancer was up to date in Tiger, but I was using a really old version of Audio Hijack Pro, because it would crash on me in Tiger everytime I tried to update it.
Booting in Safe Mode (Holding down Shift) does nothing, same as before. In Verbose Mode (Command-V) I do get an error message.
I am having a friend in the states ship me a direct copy of my leopard disc (rather than a finder copy), hopefully that will work. I'm still hoping for other solutions....thanx for the quick resoponses

  • Cannot restart after failed Leopard install

    Attempted to install Leopard on iBook with appropriate processor speed. Installation fails. Reran installer and let DVD be checked. States problem with DVD. When I try to restart the computer, it will not restart. Spinning wheel just keeps spinning. I cannot get the DVD to eject.
    I have already had to pay to have 24" iMac fixed after failed Leopard install, 2-3 hours trying to get through to Apple, and prior to posted comments on installation problems on the web site.
    So far lousy product and very lousy service/support.

    To eject the disc - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50991
    Once you eject the disc, gently clean it before reinserting it. Some dvd drives are very fussy about the media.

  • Blue screen on restart after 10.4 install

    i have an ibook and tried to upgrade to 10.4 from 10.2.8. after having to try twice to install 10.4 (i kept getting the "try again" error message), it worked. but on restart, after the grey "OS X" screen, it goes to a blue screen and just sits there like it's finished starting up. the screen saver even goes on after awhile.
    any help will be greatly appreciated!
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    You could try to boot with Command-V and see if anything relevant shows up there (verbose boot mode).
    Where does the CD you use to install comes from ? Is that a retail version or one delivered with another machine ?
    If you have another mac, you can try to apply the combo update 10.4.8 to your system (attach your sick mac's hard drive by booting it in Target mode ("T" key at early boot state).

  • Grey screen on restart after Yosemite upgrade !

    Mack would not finish restart after update to Yosemite, stuck on grey screen!

    Try powering down and rebooting but hold down SHIFT key to go into Safe Mode.
    Keep holding the SHIFT key.  It may take a while. Be patient, until the computer does its Venetian blinds thing and goes into Safe Mode
    Background: I had started an install last night about 10 hours ago on a MBP 17 mid 2010 with 8 GB.  Never took.
    Finally booted into Safe Mode.  Did Numbers, Keynote, Pages updates.
    Then kept my fingers crossed and rebooted.  It works fine. Note - I am liking Yosemite so far.

    Anyone else had this problem?

    Something appears to have gone wrong while running the updater. Use the MacBook Air's original thumbdrive or the recovery partition(if it's running 10.7 or newer) to repair the internal drive or install a new OS.

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • Fresh Leopard Install and Time Machine

    Leopard has been a miserable experience on my Imac 1.8Ghz G5. It has played havoc with the fan management and constantly overheats causing an abrupt switching off with a “pop” (presumably a safety feature). I am planning a completely fresh Leopard install on a wiped hard drive (which was not done originally). What folders or files should I NOT back up in Time Machine so that none of my previous system is restored. Basically I want everything back as it is now, Apps, e-mails, bookmarks etc. but a completely fresh system. Presumably I need to restore the Library folder, but is there anything in the System folder that I will need to restore? I have done an Archive and Install before, but that has not helped. I have reset the PRAM and SMC also. Looking at various Boards, fan problems are commonplace. I hoped that the first update would sort this out, but it didn't. A fresh install seems a reasonable next step. Any advice would be appreciated.

    It's time for Apple to fess up and admit that Leopard, while great in potential, was rushed out prematurely. I've never seen so many forums dealing with OS-X failures like we see with Leopard.
    It's a complete mess. I guess all those engineers shouldn't have been pulled to rush iPhone out the door prematurely too.
    Not one--NOT ONE product that Apple let out this year was correct out of the gate. ****, they couldn't even get a freakin' keyboard right!!
    Bad Apple, Bad.
    I used to be unabashedly proud to recommend to people that they give Apple a close look before buying a computer. I'd be out of my mind to recommend Apple again until they get off this self-destructive, kamikaze trajectory. They have absolutely exceeded their capabilities for quality product development, and are no better than Microsoft.

  • Leopard not restarting after fresh install...

    Hi All,
    I have a PowerBook G4 with 2GB of RAM. I bought a box version from the Apple store. I did a fresh install, wiped out everything, and followed the instructions.  At the end of the install, it tell me "Rebooting in 30 sec." If I click on the restart button or wait for the clock to run down, i get the same effect.  It tried to shutdown, but get stuck at the dark grey screen with the pointer.  If I hold down the power button and turn off, then power back up, i get a folder icon flashing and then the light grey screen with the apple logo, but nothing else is happening.  What can i do to get this to work.
    John

    Hi John,
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase, one pass... after completion hopefully you'll be able to get a good install.
    after highlighting the drive, click on the Partition tab, Options button will be down below.

  • Grey screen won't allow me to install Leopard from install DVD

    I'm trying to do a fresh installation of Leopard on my Mac Pro. I have used the Leopard install DVD previously to install to this machine when Leopard was first released and I had no problem then. Now, the machine boots and I can hear it reading from the DVD. On screen is the apple sign and the rotating symbol underneath it. After a while I hear the hard disks power down and then up again and shortly after that, the screen fills with a dark screen from top to bottom and a message says that I need to restart the machine by holding down the power button. It never gets past that point. I can boot with no problem to the current installation on hard disk, but can't do a new installation.
    I've tried this with all peripherals detached. I've even tried taking out all the hard disks just ot see what happens, and I get the same problem. I've verified/repaired the hard disks and also run a repair on the security rights. No success.
    I have also tried the original Tiger install disk that came with the machine and that does the same thing, so I'm beginning to assume that this is some sort of hardware issue. I've checked the console logs, and the last thing that seems to be there is a message saying:
    14/04/2009 09:55:41 [0x0-0x1e01e].com.apple.systempreferences[230] Could not interpret boot device as either network or disk
    The hardware diagnostics tests report no problems.
    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Cannot reinstall windows 10 Technical preview after getting grey screen at start after refresh. Will not let format drive or install....

    I have an Acer 6320 UR-318 Which I had Win 10 loaded on. It came with a 128 GB SSD and 2 TB hard drive. I formatted my 2 TB hard drive and refreshed my system and now all I have is a grey screen and am unable to get to the BIOS. I turned off fast and secure
    boot and even tried to set it up to be able to boot from the DVD drive but to no avail. Now I can't get into the BIOS as I'm unsure what other function key or combo may work to let me in or if there is a way besides taking my machine apart to get it to where
    I can load some kind of system or reformat and reload. If I hit Cntrl+Alt+Del while on grey screen I do get the network signal icon and the ease of use icon in the lower right corner and I have the network icon and the ease of use icon. I can hear
    the narrator and even pull up the keyboard just screen is still grey and nothing else is there! Can someone please help? 

    Hi Lunawolf1313,
    Could you see the power icon on the screen after you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete?
    If yes, you may press Shift and hold it , then click the power button and select restart.
    That will allow you to boot into Windows Recovery Environments, you may choose to refresh your PC there.
    For more information regarding Windows Recovery Environment, you may check:
    Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) Overview
    If refresh fails, try to boot into safe mode, then add a new Admin account there, after that, boot in Windows using the newly created acount.

    See if you can boot into safe mode by holding down the shift key immediately after pressing the start button. Keep holding the shift key till a loading progress bar appears on the lower part of the screen. It will take a lot longer than normal to start this way. If you have Lion 10.7 installed you can try holding command-R  keys to get intto recovery mode and run disk utility.

  • Mac won't power up after trying Leopard install.  Black screen of death.

    After trying to install an upgrade from Tiger, the installer said that if I wanted to continue, it would install a new volume and erase all my data. That sounded bad, so I hit cancel and chose quit installer from the menu bar. My mac asked which OS I wanted to use to restart my computer, and naturally I chose Tiger, not Leopard. My mac tried to restart and I got the apple logo and the little wheel spinning and then...off. Shut Down. Happens every time I hit the power button. Logo, wheel, off. I was on the phone with apple support for 2 hours and they sent me to a store finally. There they said it was a problem with file corruption on my computer. Not Leopard. They said they were having no problems with Leopard except for people trying to install it on an older model and similar issues. HELP!

    This doesn't sound good at all . . .
    Did the Apple store test your power supply? It would be good
    to know that the basic hardware functions properly.
    And did you try booting from your Tiger install DVD? Assuming
    you can get this far, run Disk Utility from the DVD and check the
    disk - if it finds bad stuff on your disk, and can't fix it, you
    probably do have a corrupted disk. The only solution may be to
    reformat the disk - hope you had a backup copy . . .
    A big guess on my part is this happened when you hit Cancel on
    the install.
    If you have Apple Care (and everyone with a laptop should have
    it), take it to the store, and let them fix it. You'll have a
    nice, clean 10.4.10 on it (or Leopard if you want), and you can
    start over . . . :^(
    Good luck . . .

  • Won't boot, even after fresh OS install?!

    So, my MacBook Pro started crashing, didn't seem to follow a pattern, it would just randomly freeze. Then it got to the point of not even booting up. It would stay on the light grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel would stop.
    I booted it from the Snow Leopard OS disk to try and repair it, check disk permissions etc, crashed again (screen flashing very fast). Then formatted the drive (zero out all data) to try and get it a fresh and clean as possible, that completed, so went to install the OS, that completed, but when it restarted after installing it crashed at the same point, only now a darker grey screen wipes down telling me to turn off my machine.
    The hard drive isn't making any strange noises so I don't think thats the problem, but other than swapping that out for another one I have run out of ideas. Has anyone had a similar problem?
    It's a 17'' MBP (not unibody). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    If it crashed while booted from the installation disc, then you have a hardware fault. Take it to an Apple Store for testing.

  • Grey Screen of Death after using Migration Assistant

    Just got a new iMac 27" i7 today. Starts up fine until running migration assistant. After which shortly after the grey apple logo appears I get the Grey Screen of Death™ saying I need to restart the computer. Restarting does not help, running Disk Utility from the startup disk does not help. Checked for bad ram, not the ram. Unplugged and let sit for 10 minutes. Nothing. Erased drive, reinstalled OS, started up fine. Ran Migration assistant again, focusing on apps only, not settings. GSOD™ again. Currently I'm reinstalling the OS after erasing the drive again.

    I see, using MA over a wireless network isn't highly recommended as it literally could take days or even a week to wirelessly move GB's of data over wi-fi.
    However I'm glad you figured out the problem. The problem with Quicken 07 may be that it relies on Rosetta to run on Intel based machines. Unless you have Rosetta on your new iMac that could have been the problem however I"m not sure why. As it turns out I also use Quicken (dreadful software!) and used MA to move it to another machine however my installation went smooth as silk. When I first started Quicken on the new machine Snow Leopard sensed I didn't have Rosetta and prompted me to download it which I did.
