  • Mac book pro wont start up

    I have a mac book pro, which have been left out of battery. After pluging it with the charger it was charging, but when i was pressing the power button to open, nothing happend, it was dead. I left it for about 3 hours for charging and i pressed the power button again and it started. I put it on sleep and after a few hours when i try to open it(the light at the bottom was flashing) i pressed the space and nothing happend. I pressed the power button but still nothing was happening( the  light was still flashing.
    I hold the power button in order for it to restart and the light stopped flashing. After that i tried to open it but still nothing but a black screen,  it was and still is dead.
    The battery is charged full.

  • Mac book pro wont start up in room temperature

    Hello again, every one seems to be having issues with macs overheating, i'm having the contrary, mine will not boot up if it get to room temperature. It all started 3 months ago, when it will work perfectly then when I switched it off, left it for a while it will not boot up, so I though my motherboard was probably fried atleast, well fortunatley I live in italy and it was summer so one random 40degrees day after having left my mac laying around powered off a couplde of weeks (after having tried resetting everythning in it,SMC PRAM etc with no sucess) , i just tried the power button and it magically worked. So I dont know why i though of it but, to make sure i tried powering it off again leaving it a couple of mins to cool down, and tried it again and to my expectance it didnt work, so i got a blow dryer heated it up to operating temp (around 50°) and it works like a charm, this is obviously a problem, cause i cant be going around with a blow fryer to power up my mac (like in airports for eg ) so any clues what i could try before i decide to get a new mac? cause i aint paying half of what its worth to get a new motherboard.
    Thanks.

    I've got exactly the same symptoms as Stickman. My MB Pro 17" 2.4Ghz from Mid-Late 2007 sounds like a textbook case for what Apple has written in its blurb in knowledge base Article: TS2377 re. distorted video or no video. I get no video even though MBP starts up, fan is running, battery charges, it even provides power to an external 2.5" Firewire hard drive.
    I've made an appointment to take it into an authorized Apple store tomorrow, but I wanted to ask a quick question:
    I had already removed the hard drive, thinking both to upgrade it to a bigger one and to see if it might have been the culprit. I had planned to put it in an external Firewire case too, after buying a bigger hard drive. BUT, when I set aside the HD and hardware that holds it in place (small bracket and screws, grommet screws for the hard drive) I seem to have misplace the little bits of hardware (duh!) So at the moment I don't have any way to put the original HD back into the computer; or at least, to hold it in place when it is installed.
    Does anyone know if this will be a problem when I take the computer in to be checked? I know that the check the technicians do is to boot the Macbook Pro from an external drive with the nVidia test software on it, so the internal HD may not be needed for that. What do you think? And later, if the MBP gets sent in to Apple to get the logic board replaced, would the missing HD and bracket and screws be a big problem? Do you think Apple would say that I may have caused the problem when I opened the computer?
    Any thoughts, especially if anyone has any similar experience, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Mac book pro wont start HELP!

    Last night I left my MBP downloading the latest OSX 10.4 from software updater. This morning I noticed there was an error downloading the update. Tried to re boot but frooze during shut down. Now the computer shows PANIC ERROR. Unable to find driver for Paltform "ACPI". Any suggestions????
    Any help is appriciated.
    BTY booted off cd ran disk utility.... Cant fix error. Something about nodes...

    > Something about nodes...
    Orphaned indirect node at ###########
    Been there ... this might work but you may need to do it several times as it 'fixes' things with each pass.
    Start the MBP holding down Apple/S (single user mode)
    Let go of the keys when you see scrolling text
    When that stops and you see a root# prompt enter
    fsck -fy
    Let it run through all the checks and repairs, if it fails first time run it again, if it finds and fixes anything run it again and keep doing so until it says "Volume appears to be OK" then enter
    reboot

  • My mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

    my mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

    It's a mac book pro 17", OS X 10,5 . It worked perfectly but when I (or actually my friend) plugged the jack into the wall outlet it came a small flash (in the wall outlet) and then it didn't start up. No sound, no light on the screen. I didn't actually see what happened, but I asked if she plugged it in with the magsafe wire still attached to the computer, and she believed she might have. Is there anything to do? I have a couple of mac computers, two other mac book pro (writing on the newest one now - 13" - late 2011 - OS X Lion 10.7.5), if it could help.

  • My Mac book pro (2011) start-up goes straight to disk utlities and wont install mavricks.

    Hello,
         My mac boook pro 2011 wont start up to my internal harddrive. it will sit on the white screen for a bit before it takes me directly to the choose language then disk utlity and shows the;
    Time machine
    install osx
    get help online
    disk utlity
         Ok so my harddrive is partitoned into two, but everytime i try to delete the partition drive, it wont let me. says (Macintosh HD2 cannot unmount please try again). And everytime i try to earse the free space, it wont do it as well. but its says it did.
         Then i try to repair my disk but my verify/repair disc permissions is not choosable but the veriy/repair ARE choosable. i choose verify/repair option and it says everything is fine. but it still wont let me choose verify/repair disk permission. My Saftey Mode is not working ( circle with line through) so i cant fix that problem. I also done the reset PRAM/NVRAM and SMC and still nothing.
         Ok the problem goes further. my Mac book pro came installed with Snow Lepord not mavricks but it wants to install mavricks instead. I put my internet into some single thing and it switched it to Lion instead of mavricks. but that isnt the problem (just thought it was weird how it switched OSX system like that) the problem is that it doesnt want to download install any OSX system. First it didnt let me get pass the choose install drive wondow. , then i switched my date in the terminal and was able to sign in but it wont download any OSX system, it would say (Something came up, please try again). My install cd wont work, keeps spitting it out. And trying to do an OSX system download wont work through this browser on disk utltity (not enough space on the drive).
         I was deleting log files from my mac through the partitioned drive and i accidently deleted a system folder that had logs. i was wondering if this was the problem and if its making my HD fail ir is my HD done? and can i put Yosemite on a usb and boot it that way or burning it to a CD and doing a cd install?
         Please i need help becuase i use my mac for film and editing and my mac wont boot to the desktop, just to this window. ill try to post picutres of what happens.

    That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
    Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
    Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

  • HT3964 My mac book pro 2.3ghz intel core i7 will not start up. I get the apple and the circle thing but thats it. Please help!!!

    My mac book pro 2.3ghz intel core i7 will not start up. I get the apple and the circle thing but thats it. Please help!!!

    Give this a try:
    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.

  • Mac book pro wont run apple hardware test

    Hi,
    I have several problems with my Mac book Pro. Problems started so that I couldn't sign in to my account, three other account worked quite normally. I did run disk utility to fix problems that there was. That didn´t fix account problem. Then I tried to install SnowLeopard again, but it hangs after a while.
    Hardware test programs starts and immediatelly after that computer shuts power off.
    Here is the problem from installer.log (at least I think that here is the problem) But I can not say, what causes the problem

    I wonder if it a permission issue?
    Maybe chmod 777 the correct files would help
    Not sure which files but you did have an error which says it cant write due to being read on. Are you the admin of the laptop and are able to mod all the files?
    I could be wrong but just an idea.
    Have you also tried to re-download the OS you are trying to install in case it is corrupt?

  • Mac book pro wont load.

    Hi,
    I've been having this problem for the past few days with my mac it started to run slow and then freezing at times. This is kind of an on going problem when I have to shut it down, it takes ages to load up to 2 hours. This is with me turning it off and on but last night it stopped loading it goes past the grey screen with the apple and on to a blue screen which it stays on the tone of the blue will change and the cursor will appear on it every now and again but it will disappear and come back on after a while. os x disk that came with it. This is in the disk drive but I cant seem to get it to work or eject I don't know what I'm doing with macs as I am still very new to it.
    any suggestions?
    The mac is a mac book pro running 10.5.8 leopard.

    Hi John,
    I'm not sure I understand all of your post. Based on what I think you're saying, it sounds like a dying HD. Shut down your MBP (hold down the power button for 5-10 seconds if it won't shut down). If the install disc is already in your optical drive (sounds like it), then hold down the c key and press the power button while continuing to hold down the c key until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).
