You may try to restart your computer in Safe mode by taking these steps:
- Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the Desktop, select 'Shut down' from a drop-down menu;
- Wait until your computer turns off, then press the Power button(⌽);
- Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift(⇧) key. It should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone;
- Release the Shift(⇧) key when you see a grey Apple sign() and the progress bar below;
This will force the system to perform several maintenance routines and load essential system software.
Once you've seen the Desktop, start a Disk Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors:
- Open Disk Utility application:
1. Click on Finder at the bottom of your Desktop;
2. Select Applications folder from Finder's left sidebar and then open Utilities folder (or press Command(⌘)-Shift(⇧)-U), double-click on Disk Utility icon;
- Choose your main hard drive from the left sidebar ('Macintosh HD', usually);
- Click on 'Verify Disc' at the bottom right corner, your Mac will perform a diagnostic test. Click on 'Repair Disk' if prompted to fix problems, or follow instructions given on the Disk Utility window;
- Once the routine finished, click on ""Verify Disc Permissions"", after it's done, click on 'Repair Disc Permissions';
- Wait until the process's finished and shut down your Mac, turn it back on in 30 seconds;

  • Mac Book Pro starts up to white screen then makes a sound and dies, turning off

    Hello, my macbook pro is new, bought in August 2011. Just recently my battery died prematurely after only 118 cycles. However, the hard drive also had to be replaced as it wasn't for some reason working with the battery. Now, my computer even though the battery works and I've passed all my documents to the new hard drive is having problems when it starts up. It makes the typical apple sound when it turns on and it goes to the white apple screen and unexpectedly dies off (turns off). It makes a sound as if everything is starting off then a dying sound when it turns off. Sometimes I try it again and it turns off or it can also turn on randomly and fully boot. Holding the shift, control and alt key while it is connected to the battery until the charge changed color works but it is not a permanent solution as this problem has continued for a week. It occured a couple of days after replacing the hard drive and battery at the genius bar. Any help?

    It is better to take it back to the genius bar.
    Your MBP is under warranty and let them fix it for you.
    Nobody here can help you with hardware problems.
    Best.

  • On Mac Book Pro start button does not turn it on.

    On Mac Book Pro start button does not turn it on.
    After some attempts of pressing it finally it turns on.
    (Meantime keayboard can be highlighted,but screen is black and I hear noise of shutting down it when I press it).
    What can be the cause of this problem? Actually MacBook is new,only 9 months.
    Please give me some suggestion what should I do.

    It will be complicated to take it to the Apple store as in Georgia (Caucasus)there is not official Apple stores and in addition Mac Book was purchased in UK. I have red some staff here about start button pressing hard for turning it on, I have feeling that now it needs to be pressed hard to turn on. If it would be from the beginning I might think that it's normal,may be,for Mac Book,but initially it needed to be slightly pressed.
    Thank you for suggestion.

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

    I purchased pages in my mac book pro. Do i have to purchased that app again in my ipad??? Thanks.. I am new to this apple things

    Yes, it is a different app than the Mac OS X version.  but the good part is it only costs $10 (US).
    You can redownload your purchases but that has to be done on the same class of equipment.

    my mac book pro got stolen and i just purchased a new one is there any way i can recover my purchased songs and movies from i tunes. I have the same account name, password and everything

    Yes. Update to iTunes 10.3.1
    Then go to the iTunes Store and click Purchased "new" under Music Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes window.
    You can re download your purchased content from the next window.

  • HT2471 How do I recover my Mac Book Pro back to the day I purchased it? Will I lose the apps that came with this Mac Book when I recover it?

    How do I recover my Mac Book Pro back to the day I purchased it? Will I lose apps that came with the Mac Book if I recover it?

    Press the command and r keys when turning on your Macbook.  Do not release those keys until you see the apple logo...
    Disk Utility will pop up.....Your choices are to reinstall, you will not lose anything....
    if however, you decide to format/erase your drive, then reinstall, you will lose everything...
    suggestion - back everything up and do a clean install.
    good luck

  • Mac Book Pro Start Up

    Ok i've been looking everywhere and cant find anything that works.
    My 15" Mac Book Pro Wont start up right not sure whats happening.
    My Mac:
    2009 15" Macbook Pro
    3.06Ghz intel core
    two Nvidia graphics cards
    500GB@7200 HDD
    4GB Ram
    so here goes the problem. Today when i got home went to start my mac up. it seems to start fine, click on the power button it makes that normal mac Start up sound, and i can also here the drive and all the hardware starting up. Then the white screen with the Apple logo Appears and seems to be going normal. but then instead of going blue like i normaly see. it goes black and everything shuts off. ive tryed a bunch of start up options and diffrent things tryed to go into safe mode and what not and nothing works.
    Anyone can help me please say.

    Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

    If that does not work, boot from your install DVD and reinstall your system.
    If the unit shuts off when booted from the DVD, then you have a hardware issue that will need to be serviced.

  • Mac book pro start up disc is full

    my mac book pro came up with a box sayin   - your start up disc is full-  then went to a blue screen, I am unable to do anything at all - any suggestions ?

    OSX disks need space to work.  Some say 10-15% free, others lock the number at 30GB minimum (because disks vary in size).  I would stick to 30 GB if I were you.
    But ... immmediate problem ...
    Your system does not like to operate because you likely have about 500 MB free of several 10s or 100s of GBs.
    If this system is pre-Lion, you have install disks.  You can buy an external drive (make it self-powered, from the wall), and install OSX on that drive using the C key at boot to re-direct to the install disks in the optical drive.
    If you system is Lion ... I do not know Lion well enough to install "cold" on a blank disk.
    When that system is installed, your internal drive is now "just a disk" and the amount of free space means less.  You can start moving files from the internal drive to the external drive until you have enough free space for it to operate as an OSX system disk.
    There are other longer-term strategies you need to address, such as "do I need a bigger system disk?", but first get your system running.

  • My Mac Book Pro starts up with gray bars and instructs me to restart the sy

    I started having problems with my Mac Book Pro last night. It crashed, and instructed me to restart the computer. I've tried the following with the install CD inside the CD ROM Drive:
    1) Restarted it with the OPTION key pressed down
    2) Restarted it with the C key pressed down
    3) Restarted it with the D key pressed down
    The extensive Hard Drive test did not detect any problems. I cannot boot from the main HD or the Install CD. I cannot enter safe mode.
    On a regular boot up the computer starts up with gray bars and the gray bars fill the screen, the spinning gear appears and more gray bars on the screen. The screen then turns black and then I get the restart message.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Like BSteely, I am curious as to how you ran hard drive tests if you can't boot from the Installer disc? Do you have another bootable hard drive attached?
    You might want to try pulling and reseating the RAM and hard drive along with performing an SMC reset. Disconnect any external USB and FireWire devices. You're getting kernel panics during startup which usually indicate a hardware issue.
