Lion will not boot

For the 2nd time in 6 weeks my MacBook gets stuck on the grey screen at start up, then eventually goes to a folder with a question mark.  When it happened at Thanksgiving I replaced the hd, now 6 weeks later it has happened again.  Any ideas?

? on start up indicates that the Mac could not find an OS to strat up from. Reboot holding down the command-r keys into the Lion Recovery disk. From there you can reinstall Lion, repair the hard drive and check its status, etc.

  • IMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc

    iMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc on cold start, and cannot find wifi hardware in the machine.   Restart and everything is fine.   I have two machine and they behave the same.   Software or hardware problem?

    First of all, try a hard restart; making sure no disks are in the slot, unplug everything from your computer (keyboards, mice, etc.) and then unplug the computer itself. Leave it unplugged for a minute or two, then plug it back in and boot it up.
    If that fails, reboot it while holding down the option-key on your keyboard. The screen should show a choice of which disk drive to boot from. Choose your usual drive.
    If that fails, reboot it while holding down the shift-key on your keyboard. It should take a while for it to boot up, as it is destroying all connections to sources that may contain a virus.
    If that fails, reboot it while holding down keys "option-command-P-R" until you hear the startup tone a second time.
    If that fails, reboot it while holding down the C-key. Make sure you have inserted the installation disk before doing this step.
    If that fails, reboot it while holding down the command-key and the R-key.
    If that fails, please reply to this and let me know.

  • My macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty.

    my macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty. I had to try myself as I'm overseas for two months and nowhere near any sort of help .

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • Macbook pro running,lion will not boot

    My mac book,pro running lion will not complete the start up/boot have tried single user boot, and command v any ideas

    I had the same problem... I was downloading the latest update (whatever it was for, I forget at this point)...
    I was really frustrated because I have never had to troubleshoot my MacBook Pro (early 2008 or whatever was before the black bevel/chicklet keyboard), plus I was running Lion, so I did not know how to do any recovery.
    Cmd + R worked like a charm. Repaired my disk, repaired my permissions, then reinstalled (or restored) Lion... now my computer is actually running better than before!
    The Disk Repair feature in Lion works magic!

  • Imac 6,1 intel based core 2 duo (running Lion) will not boot.

    I hope this isn't too much insight - I have never posted (not being very good with computers and not having had a problem before) - but often see frustration when someone posts sans detailed t-shooting information.
    My 2006 model Imac (Intel core 2 duo, 2.16GHZ, 4 MB L2 CPU cached/shared, running OS 10.7 Lion) suddenly shuts down during each boot.  I still have my original installations disks, plus the Leopard and Snow Leopard disks on hand).    I do not have Time maching but have a 500GB external HD I had before Time maching came out.  Alas- it was a Sipleshare NAS drive - and I have some items on the Imac not back-up that I need (I know.. hindsight stings).
    So - in order, here is what I have tried so far:
    Step 1 - Apple hardware test:  installed orig install disk, held down D as Imac booted.  Ran test - all successful. 
    Step 2 - manual that came with Imac said to:  press power button, ad then simultaneously press Command, Option, P, & R keys until I hear start-up sound a second time.  Heard the 2nd start-up sound.  It starts to boot, a progress bar starts, and then shuts down.
    Step 3:  Tried to set Imac in Target mode (using my 2009 Macbook Pro as host with 800-800 firewire with these instructions (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661) ) to get to the data and save.  No dice.  Imac displayed the slowly bouncing target mode icon (which excited me) - but Macbook did not see a firewire connection.
    Step 4:  Tried an 800 - 400 firewire connection with target mode (since imac supports both) just to try another cable.  Macbook still does not see firewire connection.
    Step 5:  I inserted my original Mac OS X install disc 1 that came with the Imac in 2006 and held down the "C" key.  It booted to the "Mac OS X Installer" screen.  From there I ran Disk Utility - with the following results:
    Step 6 - verify disk:
    Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
    Verifying HFS plus volume
    Checking Extents Overflow file
    Checking Catalog file
    invalid node structure
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired
    Error:  The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
         volume needs repair
    Step 7:  Tried to repair disk
    Verifying and Repair disk "Macintosh HD"
    Checkig HFS plus volume
    Checking Extents Overflow file
    Checking Catalog file
    invalid node structure
    Volume check failed
    Error:  The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1HFS volume checked
         1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    Step 8  - within this same "Disk Utility" - if I select (from top menu) "Images" and "verify" - or "convert" -  I can browse and actually see my files - but they are excruciatingly grayed out (tantalizingly close but unreachable).  I would love dearly to be able to access these files but I have as yet not cracked that nut.
    Step 9 - Selected "utilities - Startup Disk" - and three options are avail:
          Step 9A:  tried starting from HD (which I knew would not work, but tried just for t-shooting thoroughness)
           Step 9B:  tried starting from "Mac OS X, 10.4.8 install disk 1" (which just loads the same "Mac OS X Installer" screen I was already in).
          Step 9C:  tried starting from the final option "Network startup" (I have an ethernet connection to my router for internet, which I know is online as this Macbook Pro is connected to the same router).  Once I restart in "Network Start-up" mode - a flashing globe appears for a minute or so, followed by the Apple logo.  A progress bar appears below for about 30 seconds, and then I simply see the Apple logo with the gray "wheel" spinning below it - even 90 minutes later with no sign that it is succeeding.
    Summary:  I feel like I have exhausted whatever I can feebly attempt, but I'm a neophyte when it comes to computers and all of this has been just me searching, reading, and methodically trying one thing after another.  I'm hoping that the far smarter here in this forum who have had the patience to read all of this might have a recommendation that will at least allow me to salvage the data I can "almost" see when in Disk Utility/Image/Verify browse mode! Thanks so much for the help and insight!  Joe.

  • New MAC Mini w/OSX Lion - will not boot from USB or external optical drive when attempting to use BootCamp to install Windows 7?

    The University recently purchased 6 brand new MAC minis for deployment in classrooms I support.  I am attempting to create a dualk--boot environment comparable to our existing computer systems, only these machines wil be running MAC OS X Lion and Windows 7.  After following the procedures outlined in the BootCamp on-screen prompts, and attempting a few techniques I found in the tech support user-base, I am still unable to get the MAC mini to boot up from the USB flash drive, or from an external optical drive, so that I can complete the installation of Windows 7.  When using the Boot option key at start-up, all devices are displayed suggesting that they are being properly recognized, however the computer boots to a black screen with an error message indicating that "No bootable devices are  found - press any key to continue." I am able to boot into the computer's internal drive, but not from any external devices.  I fully expected that the semi-automated BootCamp procedure properly prepares the USB device for booting, and for installing the Windows 7 OS.

    Meh, with the price they take for a drive in Denmark, I don't think it's worth it... They take around 160 $ for the drive (that's the cheapest MacBook drive I could find), and I am not even sure that's the one I need.

  • MacBook Pro 13 2010 running Mountain Lion: will not boot and shows a folder with a flashing question mark. Will not start in 'safe mode' i.e holding shift on start up - nor can I call up any utilities with the OSX shortcuts. Any thoughts?

    Following an automatic update, the machine wouldn't boot. Screen came on (shows white) - then either showed a 'No-Entry' Sign and a spinning cog, or a folder with a qusetion mark. I  tried to start the machine in different modes ( eg. holding shift after the tone ) but nothing worked. after leaving the machine alone for 1 hour. It worked perfectly again. I did a 'verify disk' check which found no problems. 2 hours later it then froze ( In - Photoshop). Could not force quit, so shut down, and have not been able to boot again since (white lit screen - flashing folder with question mark) . I have also taken the hard drive out and checked the connections which seem fine. Any suggestions? - Is the Hard Drive dead. : other info : It was also running parallels 8, with Windows 7. at the time of the update....

  • OS X Lion does not boot when my Time Machine disk is connected

    Everytime I boot or reboot my MacBook Pro I am stuck at the grey screen and OS X Lion will not boot. When I disconnect my Time Machine disk (external disk connected via usb) I suddenly get the loading screen and OS X Lion boots properly.
    Pretty anoying I think, does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    Have a look at the boot log messages, using Console.app (also with the "dmesg" command), and see if there's a clue there, or, set the boot process logging to "verbose" (i.e., using TinkerTool System) and find out what's really going on live at boot time.  (Also, do you have BootCamp setup, or any ofther bootable partitions?)
    Hope this helps.

  • Macbook Pro will not boot up normally ***Not Normal Problems***

    Ok. I have an older 17" Macbook pro 2.33 (10.6 fully updated) that will not boot up in normal mode. When I boot it shows "blocks" of different colors and will not get past the blue screen sometimes. When it does get passed the the blue or grey screen it is a split screen of white back ground with large black blocks seperating the sides. I have tried swapping out harddrives with a known working one with an OSX image on it-no good. I have tried  swapping out ram-same thing. I reset the SMC and PRAM-only colors changed in the blocks. I have ran disk utilites disk and permisions with no problems. I can't boot into a restore disk using the c key during boot, It locks up at the same screen. Nothing works except safe mode. I can boot into safe mode and everything works just fine with normal screen and all. Now I tried runing the Lion installer thinking it is and driver issue but I can't get Lion to boot to the hard drive and Snow leopard just reboots back to the same screen. So how can I get Lion to install or Snow Leopard?
    What can I do? I noticed this last weekend when I tried to reboot my MB Pro and it started this. Well Apple pushed and update last friday - I needed to restart it again and this happends. I thought it was a logic board at fist until it booted fine in safe mode.

    Sorry. What I mean is I selected the SL boot up in the start up panel and it would not boot into the cd. The CD rom sounds like it just keeps reading with it slowly loading from grey screen to blue screen to the Block screen. Almost like it is booting into normal mode from the hard drive.
    What I can't understand is why it runs fine is Safe mode?
    Also why do I get a " this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" message on my hard drive when trying to install Lion in safe mode? Well why not it's the only hard drive in the computer?
    The first screen shot is the Tech tool showing everything passed the hardware test is safe mode.

  • Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

    My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

    Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
    I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
    I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
    I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

  • White Macbook 13" will not boot - Stuck in Safe Boot mode

    In a nutshell --
    macbook will not boot.  Originally it was stuck on the gray screen with spinning wheel.  Here is the course of action taken thus far (in order)
    1.  Reset SMC -- removed battery, pushed power button for 5-1 seconds.  Rrestsarted.  Nothing.  Still with the gray screen etc.
    2.  Tried to restart in Safe Boot mode.  --  Macbook will restart and after 25% on the status bar it hangs up.  After a 5 minutes or so it shuts down (I assume form overheating as the fan is running wild.)
    3.  Wheneve I start it now it tires to go in safe mode so I tired to zap the PRAM (opt/command/p/r)  No luck.  Tried twice.  Once after three chimes.  Once after 2 chimes.  Still tries to boot in safe mode.
    4.  Tried Recovery Mode (I am running Mountain Lion).  Can boot into recovery mode.  Ran disk repair and it said all was fine.  Would not allow me to repair permissions but I could verify them.  I ran verify.  No messages came up at all -- thought this was strange.  I also tried to re-install the OS but the first time the only disk available to me was the recovery partition.  The second time I went into Recovery mode I saw the regular Hard Drive partition but it was grayed out and locked.  Considered restarting to an external USB drive but then did not know what I would do then.  Might try this tomorrow.
    5.  Ran Target disk mode with my iMac.  The disk did not mount in the desktop but showed up in disk utility with the HD partition grayed out.  Could verify and repair disk but nothing was allowed regarding permissions -- all options grayed out.
    6.  Restarted with Verbose mode.  Ran for 5 - 10 minutes and shut down.  Last line I saw was "checking extended attributes file"  No error message.  Again, maybe it was an overheating issue as the fans were going wild and it was about the same length of tome running as in safe mode when the macbook shut down.
    OK.  The hard drive is a few moths old.  There was nothing strange going on with the hard drive prior to shut down.  The only odd thing happening was the dvd drive was begining to make sounds upon restart (from sleep or full restart).  Like it was checking/reading a disk in the drive.  This was especially odd as the drive has been dead/unusable for a few years.  (When you a dvd or cd in it could not read).  This dvd drive sound happens even now upon each start up.
    I do not want a new motherboard.......or laptop.
    Thanks.
    Robert

    Thanks for the prompt response.  Thanks for the adivice.  I wish i could get it to go into safe mode.  It stops after 5 minutes of trying.  I am not sure if it is the hard drive as it will boot into Reocvery Mode --  meaning it will let me access the 650 MB parititon Lion has set aside - so that part of the disk is working. 
    I am headed to the Geniusues soon.

  • TS1541 iMac will not boot up

    I have done a restore from a few days earlier, when it was fine, but now it will not boot up again.  It just freezes and when I restart it just sins the little white wheel, but never starts!
    Fairly new to apple, so bare with me.

    Hi..
    When you say "restore" do you mean from > OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    If so, try again but the startup disk may need repairing using Disk Utilty.

  • IMac will not boot from any mode except Target Disk

    I have an Early 2008 Penryn iMac 24" MB398LL/A running OS X 10.7.4 (see specs below) that will not boot from ANY mode, It also has several strange vertical bars from top to bottom on the screen. They are about 10 px wide, with some pixels empty and looks a bit like a barcode if you squint at it.
    I have tried Safe Boot, Force Boot, DVD Boot, FireWire/USB Boot,  and it always gets to the same point. It gets to the apple screen with the spinning gear and then after about 8 seconds it freezes. The only way it works at all is in Target Disk Mode. It pops right up on my Macbook Pro and I was able to grab all my info!
    I have run Disc Utilities and Tech Tool on it many times from my MBP and it passes every test.
    I reformatted the HD and installed 10.7 again, it still freezes up at the same point. 
    I have tried using Single User mode and every time have had to run /sbin/fsck -fy twice because it always says the disk is ok but it was modified on the first pass.
    I thought maybe it had a bad video card or logic board but and I ran the Apple Hardware Test on many occasions and it always passes. Recently I was told about Loop Mode and just completed running the AHT for just over 30 hours without any errors at all.
    UPDATE...
    Strange Part… I tried installing Mountain Lion in Target Disk Mode and everything went smoothly. When it restarted on its own the lines on the screen were gone for the moment, but the Mac still freezes up on the spinning gear and immediately restarts on its own.  I have run every thing listed above on it and still nothing. Sometimes the lines reappear then in two more starts they are gone.
    I did manage to have it start one time got a copy of the  the error report (its at the bottom too) The Mac ran for at least 30 minutes with no problems, then the screen went crazy a few seconds and it became unresponsive. The mouse moved but that was all it could do. Now my iMac continually restarts itself, I don't have any more ideas, HELP!
