Mac Book  wont reboot after Mac OSX update

Was doing a regular update and a MAC OSX update was included among many others. After doing it, my macbook will not rebot and just remains in the loading stage. Any suggestion on how to get it working again..._*Need Help Desperately*_ - my son has some papers on it that is neede within next week.

Hi Everyone,
It is a macbook not ibook, sorry my mistake.
I did not know it would be breaking or violating anything, if so I apologise!!
I will obviously need to buy the software specifically for my macbook is the answer, thank you for all your answers.
If i buy the software do I still have to ask for macbook or is the retail version for any mac machine?
Sorry - I wasn't trying to be harsh. The software on the restore discs is licensed (or should I say licenced) for use on one computer. I think a lot of people might dispose of or sell them after their machines expire or they upgrade to a newer version of OSX.
This gets really complicated.
There are currently 6 different iterations (all the machines at the same issue date should use the same install version) of the polycarbonate shell MacBook. Each one would require a different set of install discs. Several of these came out before Leopard (10.5) was on the market and the install discs have Tiger (10.4.X). If your machine was of a vintage before Leopard was on the market, you can install using any retail version of Leopard. I have a copy of Leopard with the original 10.5.0 version. The current retail version of Leopard is 10.5.6. This should install on any MacBook which came standard with any version before 10.5.6.
Are you confused enough now?
If you could identify which iternation of MacBook you have, I think people here could give you a better idea of what your options are for installation of the operating system. You could put your old drive back in, run System Profiler and find out which MacBook version you have. Mine says MacBook 3,1. My guess is that any retail version of Leopard should work since you identified your OS as 10.4.11.

    wont reboot after iOS 7 update

    I had the same problem.  Here's how it repaired.  First need to note that I backed up my ios6 iphone5 to my MacBook Pro via iTunes and did the update to ios7 tethered to iTunes via USB.  The iPhone hung on restart to ios7.
    I disconnectd the lightning to USB chord.  At that time the icon/graphic came up on the iphone screen to tell me to connect to iTunes.  On reconnect, the iPhone told me that it had to be restored and that this would "wipe out" all settings and items stored on the iPhone5.  So it was just like turning the iPhone 5 on new out of the box.  I was good with this since I had backed up.
    The iPhone 5 then went through the restore process first installing the "most recent" ios, which happened to be ios7 since that was the latest downloaded via iTunes.  Once the base ios7 was installed I was then prompted to set up a new iPhone or restore from the latest backup (which I had done just prior).  I chose restore from latest backup and the iPhone went through the process of resyncing to iTunes and reinstalling all apps, music, pics, video, and "others" ... a looong process.

  • Mac book and problem after hard drive update!

    Hi
    I am new to the forums so please be nice
    My friend updated the harddrive on my ibook and i got some discs for Leopard osx so thought I would give it a go, although the discs say imac on them he assured me they would install.
    When I try to install it just says it can not be installed on this machine?
    Do I have to buy a specific version of leopard?
    On the discs it says mac os version 10.5.2, AHT version 3A140?
    Thank you any help will be appreciated.

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

  • If i have mac os x lion running on my MAC book Pro and i need to update with OSX mountain lion, Do i need to format ?

    If i have OSX lion running MAC book pro and i want to update my OS without formatting and loosing my existing data, Is it possible ?
    This could be very simple question but not for me as i am unexperience with OSX installations

    Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Moutain Lion.
    See Step 1 here >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    As for the recovery disk, yes.
    Actually it's an upgrade not an update to go from Lion to Mountain Lion.

    I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
    I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

    I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program,  any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
    Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

    Hello xerxes.nashion,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

    Yes. Check to see if the iTunes application has been moved or renamed before installing it.

  • Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

    Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

    Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
    It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
    Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install.

  • Every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. Happens super inconsistently and not on every web page. Tried all the dum dum moves like restarting computer and changing scroll direction in track pad. Anyone else have a similar issue? mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
