Mac doesn't boot after splitting BOOTCAMP drive under Windows 8.1

Macbook pro mid 2012, OS X Mavericks
I've installed Windows 8.1 x64 using Bootcamp assistant. In Windows I went to Disk Management and shrank drive C: from 200 GB to 94 GB and created a new drive D: from unallocated space.
After restart Windows doesn't boot giving some error and quickly restart. If I hold "Option" key I see only Windows. Mac OS X disappeared.
How to fix?

So, I've tried 1001 ways to recover. Nothing worked. Interned Recovery gives -2002F error. Macbook pro 2012 can't boot from bootable DVD to use DiskWarrior, Drive Genius or similar. It can't boot from OS X Lion install DVD. I had only Windows PC to fix this. So
I asked a friend with latest Mavericks(which I had too) to make a Recovery USB and make a DMG file from it and send me over internet. Then I used the TransMac application under Windows and burned DMG on my USB stick. My god it worked. After 2 days of struggle I found this solution. I was able to boot from this USB stick into Recovery Mode and from there I can reinstall Mac Os X Mavericks. Somehow it sees my Ethernet cable and doesn't give error.
Note: that Disk Utility wasn't able to recover partitions. I tried to run DiskWarrior from terminal but it gave me an error. TestDisk didn't run too. So I'm doing a clean installation.
I could recover or backup my files using Paragon Mac Recovery Bootable DVD, but there was no need since it's my new macbook and I didn't have much files there.
Windows had changed the HD partition map from GUID Partition Table(GPD) to MBR. And made HD a "dynamic disk". This is why Mac Os wasn't able to boot.
If anyone knows how to convert a disk back to GPD and make Mac OS able to boot please let me know. I'm still installing Mac Os X on USB stick and didn't change my HD.

Mac does not boot after installing bootcamp

hello
installed bootcamp on my mbp with snow leopard today,for the first time mac and windows both started with no problem ,but when i was trying to boot back into the mac again ,it did not boot and just got stuck at the process with turning wheel forever ,showing the apple logo and the turning wheel.
i did try to hold the option button and chose the mac partition ,but again i can not pass thru the turning wheel and apple logo.Does anybody know what the problem is and how can i go beyond this .
thanks.mike

Have you tried a safe mode boot yet?
Reboot to the OSX partition and hold the shift key down as soon as you hear the chime. You can release the shift when you see the spinning gear wheel.
yes,i did try that too.unfortunately ,hard drive seemed to be the source of the problem.just replaced the hard drive with a brand new one and put this one inside a usb enclosure that i have ,so tomorrow i will get a backup first and then format it again and keep it for the future.
thanks.mike

Mac won't boot after attempted bootcamp use.

I attempted to install windows xp on my imac (leoppard). After being looped through the same cycle without any signs of progression, and being unable to exit the installation using the F3 command, I hard rebooted my computer. Once I restarted it, the mac chimed, but remained greyscreened. I attempted to unplug my computer, and met with no success. I tried holding down the x key- which I read on another thread, that didn't work either. I have no way of manually removing the xp disc from the disc drive, as its built into the moniter of my mac... what can I do?

not starting in safe mode. =0/ beginning to look like my poor mac may need an appointment with the apple store.
i did however get the disc out- i used the keyboard that originally came with the mac and held down its eject key upon restart. Now the only issue is that it will not fully boot.

Z61t Doesn't boot after upgrading hard drive

I'm upgrading the hard drive on my girlfriend's Lenovo Z61t laptop and am running in to a strange problem.
The computer will not boot anymore! I cloned the old disk to the new one using acronis true image and when I insert the new disk into the laptop and boot it, after the system prompt there's a blinking dash at the top left corner of the screen.
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Z_Series_Thinkpads&message.id=469&query.id=23938...
This user seemed to have experienced the same issue as me. Unfortunately, no reply to his post
Drive is detected in the BIOS, PC doctor reports no problem on both the short and extended test... And to top it off, if I insert the driver into my HP laptop windows will start loading as expected
Are lenovo laptop cursed?
Any help is appreciated!

I fixed the issue. I researched many many forums and found no help on any of them, and sorry-no help on this one either.
What solved the issue - and I hope this helps someone else who has the same problem:
1). Install new hard drive (with or without osx pre installed)
2). Remove all ram
3). Power on and wait 1 minute
4). Hold power button until it turns off
5). Install ram
6). Power back on
7). BOOM! It works again.

MacBook Pro doesn't boot after attempting hard drive install

Here is what happened:
Installed new hard drive and ram upgrade.
Hit power button. (Nothing on the display or keyboard turned on.)
Heard the optical drive turn on every few seconds.
Held down the power button until it turned back off.
Installed the old hard drive and ram so everything I did was reversed like I did nothing at all.
Pressed power button.
Heard optical drive turn on (no chime noise-just the drive.)
Still no display on (it remains black.)
Tried resetting the smc. No changes.
Tried to attempt a pram reset. Nothing.
Battery shows full charge. Charger shows green light when plugged into computer.
Idk what I could have done or not done to make this happen.
MacBook Pro 15" 3,1 early 2008 or earlier.

Mac pro cannot boot after upgrade to 10.8.3

My Mac Pro cannot boot after upgrade to 10.8.3. Anything firmware I can reset or how should I do.
I am using a early 2008 Mac Pro

Can you boot into safe mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
If not, how about Recovery? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
If you can, run Disk Utlity and repair the disk. You can try rebooting normally, but I would just reinstall after quitting Disk Utility.

Mac won't boot after power chord became unplugged accidently.

Mac won't boot after power chord became unplugged accidently.
I have a Mac Mini running very latest version of OSX. I was making a recording with QuickTime; when I needed to plug in a USB recording device into the back of the Mac Mini, as I pulled the Mac off my shelf to do this, the power cable came out and the Mac lost power.
I plugged it back in and powered up the Mac. I get the grey screen with Apple logo and the spinning grey wheel; then it goes to a blue screen (as usual) and I get the "starting OSX..." progress bar. When the progress bar finishes, I'm left with a blue screen only, no dock, no apple icon at top left, nothing across the top, no nothing.
So far, I've booted from the original disc and repaired the permissions as well as the disc, then re-booted, but same old blue screen.
I have another iMac G5 machine, so is there any way I can at least retrieve the important HD files from the Mac Mini to my G5, before throwing the broken Mac Mini away?
Can anyone advise please?

Hi, Nigel.
Not to differ with my colleagues here, but there's an important question that wasn't asked.
1. You wrote: "So far, I've booted from the original disc and repaired the permissions as well as the disc, then re-booted, but same old blue screen."Did Disk Utility report any errors it could not fix when you ran Repair Disk? I suggest you run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. You may also want to run the Apple Hardware Test that came with your Mini to be sure nothing shorted when the power cable was removed from the computer. I've seen it happen, hence I usually recommend removing the power cable at the wall before disconnecting the power cable from the computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
3. Repair Disk gives your Mini a clean bill of health, the blue screen may be the result of some Startup or Login item that was corrupted due to the sudden power outage. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem and may help you avoid and Archive and Install.
4. If you elect to go the Archive and Install route, see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
5. As FYI, this is the kind of problem that makes one glad they've implemented a comprehensive backup and recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. Computing without a comprehensive backup and recovery solution is like driving without auto insurance.
Good luck!

Used the USB Install 10.7 from Apple/

What apple store app would be used to read emails on mac that were downloaded to a thumb drive from windows (outlook).

What apple store App would be used to read email on the mac that was downloaded to a thumb drive from windows outlook.
Recently purchased a Mac and data transfer for e-mails only showed the email preview but does not open up the body of the email or attachments. So I down loaded my inbox, and folders to a thumb drive. this will open correctly on the window pc but the mac is looking for the approriate app to read this data.
Could the Apple store remove down loaded emails and then reload from the thumb drive?

EL-Benjo,
Please be sure to read the Important Note at the bottom of the page of the link I provided.
Important Note
When you install OS X Lion using the USB thumb drive, you will not be able to reinstall OS X Lion from Lion Recovery. You will need to use the USB thumb drive to reinstall OS X Lion.

Mac won't boot after prohibited symbol

I'd like to thank in advance anyone that will bother reading this. My guess is there is something wrong with the logic board...
I believe my macbook is the early 2011 13" model. kitted with the i7.
Here is a sequence of maybe relevant, maybe not, events that happened before the issue:
1- I run bootcamp quite often
2- I had been running my macbook on clamshell mode for about 2 weeks, connected to an external screen and keyboard&mouse
3- I installed a large amount of plugins for pro tools (10-15Gb worth) the day of the incident.
4- The last time i shut down the computer, i changed the boot disk to mac OSX, under the bootcamp menu in Windows' control panel.
5- When I booted up the next day the boot was going fine until the prohibited symbol appeared, replacing the apple logo.
5.1- After some time, the screen went light-blue (the snow leopard color thing) and the computer suspended itself. (it usually does that when i run it in clamshell mode, right after it finished booting, presumably because the lid is closed)
5.2- The computer was unresponsive to mouse and keyboard input, so i unplugged it and opened the lid.
5.3- It went to desktop, but rather than a mouse, i had a static colored wheel (which i could move). The dock didn't come up, and everything was frozen.
6- I long-pressed the power button to shut it down.
7- When turning it back on, all i can hear is that growly sound from the optical drive/hard drive (not really sure tbh), and the screen doesn't turn on. I can also hear the fans running, and the CPU area heats up.
On a sidenote, i don't hear the traditional apple chime ever since i had HDD data corruption problems and had to run system recovery into a more recent OS. After which i reinstalled a snow leopard (10.6.8) via a system backup i had, which dated from 2011 (and that was this year).
So, is there a magical key combination that will resuscitate my mac? Does this look like a 500€ fix on the logic board?
Thanks for reading!

Also, i don't hear any hard drive read/write activity, so i'm not quite sure if it's spinning.

Failed boot after moving hard drive (IDE not SATA)

Greetings all.
I am attempting to setup a headless box, and in doing so I am installing Arch on one system (Sapphire Axion A3-M275 Motherboard), then moving the hard drive to the new system (SGS1660, a VIA CLE266/VT8235 based headless rack-solution).

I think what is happening is that the kernel does not have the drivers for the IDE controller on the board for the CLE266/VT8235. Does this seem accurrate? And if so, how can I verify the current kernel config, then compile a kernel with everything else Arch needs to boot properly? I am familiar with the old means of setting up a kernel using the 'make menuconfig; make; make modules_install' etc method.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi, not sure if this is still causing you an issue, but I just ran into the same problem.
For me, I have a Sharp PC=MM1110 which has no cd drive and doesn't like to boot from USB. To get Arch installed on it, I had to attach it to another PC (via it's docking cradle, which lets it show up as a USB hard drive), then boot the other PC from an Arch install cd and select the USB hdd for all of the partitioning etc.
When I rebooted after the installation, the Sharp wouldn't boot.
First, I had to edit the grub menu entry to point to (hd0,0), at which point I got the error listed in the first post... Failed to parse block device id's.
If i booted into fallback mode, it booted without a problem.
For me, the solution to finally get it working was to boot into fallback mode, remount the filesystem as r/w, and run mkinitcpio -g filename to rebuild the kernel. Once completed all I had to do was point grub to the new kernel image and it booted ok.
Hope this is useful to someone

My mac won't boot from the hard drive

Hi Everyone
Yesterday, I tried to dual boot my mac using the Bootcamp Assistant. The hard drive partitioned fine & then started the Windows setup. About half way through it found a corrupt file & cancelled the install. It went back to OSX absolutely fine & was working perfectly. I deleted the partition that had been created & then noticed that the amount of free space on my hard drive was missing the 20GB that I had partitioned off for Windows. I used OnyX to try & find the missing 20GB; it finished & then I tried to open Safari & received an error message. I tried again & received the same message so tried to restart the mac & ever since it hasn't wanted to boot using the hard drive.
It will boot from the CD & I can use the Disc Utility to see the hard drive (which makes me think that the mac is seeing it) & can verify & repair both the disc itself & the Disc Permissions but if I click Startup Disc I only get 2 options: The DVD itself & Network Drive. I also can't re-install OSX onto the Hard Drive as it comes up with an exclamation mark & wont let me go any further in the process.
I'm hoping that someone will have an answer other than erasing my hard drive & starting again (which isn't that big a problem as I backed up all the important bits before starting any of this!)

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.

System doesn't boot after time machine restore to 10.6.8

I had a mbp with 10.6.8
did time machine backup
installed yosemite
saw the app I need for work not work, new I have to go back to that backup
restart->cmd-r->restore from time machine
after this my computer doesn't boot from main disk (that says 10.6.8 now), and cmd-r doesn't work anymore on startup. option gives only the not working main drive, even with time machine plugged in.
what can I do to get my computer to start in any way?

Can you use the original install disk/or SL retail disk to start up the MBP and install Snow Leopard again?
Ciao.

Mac won't boot after installing Kaspersky antivirus demo

when i turn on, the macbook pro has apple logo with spining grey thing but then it goes to just apple logo like normal and then it just stays like that instead of going into desktop?

I'm not sure that anything but a clone or Time Machine backup will work with Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant. Boot from the Recovery partition and use the Restore tab in Disk Utility. Drag your startup drive from the left pane (the indented icon that has your internal drive name) to the Source window. Drag the destination drive (the indented icon) to the Destination window. If you are copying to a drive with one partition this process will erase the destination drive. If you are copying to a partition on a drive with multiple partitions it will erase the partition you choose as the destination.
After the copying process is complete you can try booting from the cloned drive. Restart and press the option key after the startup chime. Keep the option key pressed until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Select the clone and click on Return to select it. If it boots run the Kaspersky uninstaller. Then download a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner (donationware) or SuperDuper! (free and paid versions). Use CCC or SuperDuper to copy the fixed clone back to your hard drive.
If the clone won't boot, and it probably won't, you will need to boot from the Recovery partition and choose to reinstall Lion. I haven't had to reinstall Lion or install it to an erased drive so if someone who has done so doesn't reply to this thread post a new question asking how to do it. It is my understanding that one is able to reinstall Lion over the existing installation or choose to erase the drive using Setup assistant to bring over your data from a clone. If you have to erase and install you will want to boot from the the Lion installation and clean off all the Kapersky stuff by searching for it (include invisible files in your search). Then you can use Migration assistant to bring your data back from your clone.
There is also a possibility that you can remove the Kapersky stuff by booting in single user mode. One you have your data copied to a bootable clone you could post a question about how to go about finding and removing the files in single user mode.
