Mac book pro automatically start to recovery

I pushed in and held down the power button and then restarted the computer and it automatically went to the recovery options it will not start up normally please help

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, 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.

  • 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)

  • Mac book pro automatically shuts down

    I bought a mac book pro last december 2012, yet i already experienced problems with my mac last january 2013. Twice it failed to open after i had it in sleep. Charger indicated no light. Twice i also had it taken in for service, in both occasions they are able to open it after several hours and days of service. During the last diagnosis, they said that they did a thorough check and it all passed. Please note that when i had it in sleep, its charge is more than 50 percent. For the third time this week, it automatically shuts down and does not open and no light in the charger also. What could be the problem? Its already the third time this happens and its really getting too tedious to have the similar problem yet the service provider said there seems to be no problem but i cant use it continuously- could i already request for replacement? Thanks.

    Problem is you have a faulty Mac computer. You need to take it back in with documentation, like a movie, of the problems you are having.
    Basically all Apple does is run a software test on the hardware, if it passes that test they say "Everything is Fine" even though you are having numerous problems. Without proper documentation of the problem or problems you are having you will get NO help from Apple.

  • Mac book pro automatically shutting down with a warning

    my mac book pro running mountain lion keeps restarting itself showing a warning screen at the beginning of each restart saying there is a problem, what is this caused boy, and what are possible solutions?

    Thanks for the response Grant.  I had both set to "never" and the power connected.  I did however find while searching the forum page, an answer already given to another enquiry.  The security/general tab.  I had it checked, now unchecked am hoping it will solve my problem.  Thanks again, Cebustu.

  • My Mac Book PRO doesent start, what can i do?

    I cant start My Mac, what can i do To get it To start up again. When i push the powerbutton i can hear à click but nothing happends.

    Since you can't even turn you machine on - and you don't say if you're running Lion or Mountain Lion which both have Recovery partitions - it's impossible to diagnose your problem over the Internet. If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, see if you can boot into the Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys while booting. When there (if you can get there) use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive.
    If you're not having any luck with the Recovery partition, boot with the installation disc that came with your MacBook Pro and try running Disk Utility from it.
    If you cannot do anything above, try running the Apple Hardware Test (if you can). If you're able to run the test, note any errors that might appear.
    If all of this fails, you're just going to have to break down and get your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP. Machine may be fried.

  • 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.

  • 2007 15" Mac book pro. non starter

    Hi all.
    Hope someone can help me to determine whether my 2007 Macbook pro is worth trying to save or i should just ebay for spares or repair..
    I never fully shut down the machine, more for convenience than anything else but yesterday found when waking it from sleep i had no display. This happened about two weeks ago but when i pressed the F2 brightness button on the keyboard the display suddenly came on so thought no more about it. Unfortunately this didn't work yesterday and i could get no response from any other key or keys so the only option left was to shut it down and reboot, which it did with no problems and worked flawlessly for about three hours. I then had a lazy lunch leaving the machine running, expecting as i have done before for the machine to do its power save setting thing. On my return it would not come back to life so thinking it was repeating it earlier problem shut the whole thing down to reboot. On pressing the power button it tries to start up but this lasts for about two and a half seconds then dies. I can hear the initial spooling of the hdd and optical drive but then stops dead. Battery, tho no longer at it best is fully charged. Magsafe is working green light on plug. Dose the same on battery power or using magsafe.
    My initial thought was a hard drive failure but then the machine would still start just not boot into osx. Please correct me if im wrong.
    So after googling the problem and trawling the forums reading similar problems and possible causes i.e hdd failure, logic board failure, etc, im still none the wiser.
    Any help or advise will be much appreciated
    MacBookpro 15"
    2.4 intel core 2 duo
    2gb Ram
    200gb hdd

    Thanks for the quick response sig. How would the display effect the power up of the machine tho?
    Hmm.... another possible to add to the list.
    I was hoping maybe the symptoms pointed to a probable cause. seems like it could be many tho. Bugger! dont want to spend money for someone to tell me its Knackered then tell me its going to cost a small fortune to fix.
    I bought it second hand with a couple of months apple care left but that has long since expired.
    I shall sleep on it.....
