iMovie lock up. I did hard reboot. Now Mac laptop won't start

Can you start up holding Command R to access your recovery partition? If so run Disk Utility to repair the boot volume, if not your hard drive may have failed. Without more information it's kinda hard to tell.

    Took apart Macbook pro 13 to remove broken headphone tip in the jack. Had to remove battery to get to the headphone jack. Now the laptop won't start. The power button is just not responding. Battery indicator showed charge of 3 dots initially but now only the last dot is blinking. The power cable used to light up green initially but now the green light is gone. I have tried SMC reset, which didn't work. What are my options?

  • I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive

    I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, how to solve this problem?

    Try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below:
    Troubleshooting an external hard drive
    > Unplug the hard drive, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in
    > Restart the computer
    > Unplug any other peripherals from the computer
    > Plug it into a different USB port
    If none of those steps work, see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.
    Checking a disk with Disk Utility
    To check a disk using Disk Utility, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
    > Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
    > Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
    > Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Once Disk Utility is opened, check to see if your external HD appears on the sidebar. If it doesn't appear at first, try the troubleshooting steps above again while leaving Disk Utility open, each time checking to see if the external HD appears.

    Why did you wipe the drive?
    Were you having problems?
    If you were those problem may be related to a failing hard drive and that is why the TM backup could be restored.
    In you topic header you say the system won't boot from the SL DVD, But it di for you to wipe the drive. Then it should again boot from the SL DVD.
    Insert the DVD and reboot, hold down the Option key and select the Optical drive, SL DVD, as the Boot source.

  • I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

    I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard  disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

    Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
    I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
    So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

    I have removed the ecp site from default site and attempting to rerun SP1 now. I do not have high hopes. :(

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

  • ITunes locks up and forces hard reboot while playing video

    I am running iTunes 8.2.1 on an iMac G5 running Leopard 10.5.7. About 80% of the time I watch video through iTunes, regardless of whether or not the video came from the iTunes store or elsewhere, the computer locks up after a few minutes of playback and I must do a hard reboot. The mouse still is responsive, but clicks are not registered and no keystrokes cause any response. When played through Quicktime or other video playback applications, these lockups do not happen.
    Has anybody else experienced this problem? What can I do about it?

    Ronald hello,
    Shut down and restart your computer with the Command key and the letter 's' depressed.

    /sbin/fsck -fy
    hit return key and wait for all clear to be displayed then type.
    reboot
    hit return key
    Check the pemissions are set correct on the Apple installed software...
    use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities > select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions... if repairs are needed run again until none are repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit when finished.

  • Had to erase hard drive, now pages docs won't open

    I had an issue with my Mac and had to erase my hard drive, and start from scratch.  I sent my essential pages documents via e-mail, and re-downloaded them, then re-downloaded pages, but now the documents won't open, with no explanation given.

    JPS3, if by any reason there was a problen while uploading the file, I think there is nothing that can be done. Now, if the problem was downloading, you can try redownloading the file again and give it a try.
    Any chances you have a copy on iCloud? (sometimes I hit save superfast without knowing it was save at iCloud).
    Is this file created in the same version of the Pages you downloaded? or  is it older?
    I know that its no good for this case, but next time I recommend you use sites like Box, Dropbox or iCloud.
    Hope you can recover your files.

  • NVRM error, now mt MBP won't start

    Over the last 2 weeks, my MBP would crash (mostly during playing games). At first, I could just restart it and after a few restart it would be fine. But yesterday it crashed again after I managed to restart it (after another crash). But now it won't start up.
    At start up, I would get the grey screen with Apple logo and then after 30 seconds or so, the grey screen gets distorted and generally the graphics are all messed up (and crash). I have tried booting up from Leopard CD, but it gets to a certain part and I get the Mac crash screen where it says the Mac has crashed and I need to restart.
    Before it got to this stage, I have managed to restart it and after a restart, I got a noticed saying my Mac has crash and would I like to send report to Apple. So I did (3 times) and below is the error I got.

    This sounds very much like this error http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 but in this doc, nothing was said about not being able to start up the MBP.
    The thing is I really need to boot up one last time to get some files off there, is there anyway I could boot up one last time? As I said before it won't boot up from HDD, not from CD, I tried booting up from external HDD but that system is 10.4 so it didn't show up.
    Would appreciate any help so I can get these files off before I take it into repair!
    Thanks

    I just had a whole day of kernel panics and screen flicker (video flicker - not backlight) yesterday. I had stuck and incorrectly updated windows on the screen. Soon after that the machine crashed. A few reboots later the MacBook would freeze after a few minutes of use and then finally it would only boot into the dimmed screen of death or a stuck spinning wheel (even when booting form CD!!!). Inbetween, I managed to boot it from CD, but the machine crashed during disk check and finished the check (no errors) the third time!
    I followed all instructions (5 secs power button while without battery and power) did NOT help.
    I disconnected battery and power supply and let the MacBook sit for a few hours. That helped and magically the machine booted as if nothing happened.
    I ran the loooong hardware test. Everything fine. I ran the disk check everything fine. I am clueless.
    Today I had the same crash again, but at least everything was fine after a hard reboot. It even crashed the attached iPhone, which suddenly showed the Apple icon ?!? Hard to believe!
    Remark: many of the crashes did not result in a kernel panic, but just froze the computer.

  • Laptop won't start quickly but power wifi and caps lock light keeps blinking

    Hi, it has happened before too but rarely but nowadays it happens on daily purposes.
    When I switch on my laptop after leaving it for 8-9 hrs, it won't start up but instead power, wifi and caps lock light keep blinking. I tried removing battery and pressing power button for few minutes but nothing happens. Then i left it like that with lights blinking and after 15 20 minutes it booted. I did same yesterday too. I left it like that it booted after 20 minutes..so My question is "why is this happening? Is it a motherboard issue or is it because of cold moisturous weather here and laptop takes time to get warm up?" Should I show it to HP Service center?

    Hi @Nishant5788
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having a problem getting your notebook to boot up normally. As for what is causing the problem the blinking Caps Lock should tell us what is causing the problem as it should be blinking in a pattern. This HP document Computer Does Not Start and LEDs blink has a chart that will tell you what the blink codes mean.
    This is most likely a hardware issue and you can give us a call regarding repair options.  You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.
