HT201612 How to reboot my MacBook pro

I was trying to install windows using bootcamp but now I can't boot my pro again

You need the most basics. We don't know enough from the details what either.
Can't boot which OS? Does Lion Recovery show?

  • How to reboot a macbook pro that stops at grey screen

    My wife's macbook pro, 2010 circa, is not rebooting.  With three attempted power-ups she gets a grey screen with the Apple logo...

    In answer to your question, have you tried using
    Disk Utility?
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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 First Aid 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. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then, if you can, reboot to your internal drive and repair permissions.

    I did a force close on Safari and after rebooting my macbook pro, i no longer see the Safari icon on the dock.  How do i get i back?

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

  • How can I reboot my macbook pro to how i first got it if i don't have the cd

    How can I reboot my Macbook Pro to how it was when I first got it if I don't have the cd

    I had to do this the othe day when  I got my mew retina and set it up and then tried to transfer data from my old mac instead of using migration and made a real mess of it.  And I wanted to start all over again, so I called apple help and they said this:
    Basically what you do is wipe the hard disc clean my reformatting - thats a scary bit
    then reboot holding alt down and you get an option screen
    you choose intalll Lion and it comes in via wifi and takes 2 hours or so , and then its just like an out of the box computer.
    Best look for through some threads to double check the method, but thats basically what I did and it was fine.
    Obviously cos the retina doesnt have a dvd drive, it had to be the only way anyway.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to my car cd player

    hello how to connect my macbook pro to my car cd player

    If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP.  I do question the practicality of doing so.
    Ciao.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

  • How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?

    How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
    And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
    What would be the cons?

    USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
    So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
    But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.
