Mac Startup Issues- tried EVERYTHING.

I have tried everything, I have followed the Apple Support article on start up issues and I'm still not getting anywhere, I have tried the following:
Booting from Installation Disc and running the Disk Utility, when I try to repair the permissions, they appear to be repairing but after I Verify Disk, the permissions still differ.
Running fsck in single-user mode.
Running in verbacose mode, I get a large string of error messages, I don't know if they'll be any use to anybody?
Repairing the disk.
Everything it says on the article page I have followed to a T and my MacBook still won't load past the grey screen with the Apple logo, irregularly I boot to the blue screen, in which it changes from a dark blue to a light blue on a loop.
I cannot boot into Safe Mode either. I've tried to re-install the Mac OS X, but there is a tiny scratch on the disc and it refuses to install past 27%. Would Apple send me another disc? Or is there somewhere I could download it?
If anyone has any ideas please help!

If you no longer have your Leopard Install DVD, you may be able to obtain it from Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available. If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
You will need the above in order to run the Repair Disk option.

Blue screen at startup---have tried EVERYTHING!!! Any ideas???

Hi there, I've got a really frustrating problem concering my husband's iBook G4. One day he got home from work, tried to start up, and got only a blue screen (no cursor.) (This is shortly after updating to 10.4.11, incidentally...coincidence?) We went to the forums, and tried numerous fixes, including:
Booting from install and running disk repair (none needed)
Booting in target disk mode with my mac and removing the login.plist file
Removing all login items from both user accounts in target mode
Attempting a boot (and eventual restore) from the external firewire backup, but it won't get past the blue screen here, either.
It started up in safe mode a couple of times, and even restarted in normal mode once, but then in primary account froze back up after a few minutes. Then it wouldn't even start in safe mode.
Then we did an Archive & Install from the original startup (Panther) but when it got to the login screen, it wouldn't accept either user password (even though the hint indicated we were using the right ones) and then froze. It now won't even boot from this disk, or start up in safe mode.
Everything seems to be intact while perusing it in target disk mode; even ran a hardware test from the Apple Hardware Test disc and that all checked out (no idea if this would have made any difference, but I'm grasping at straws, here!)
I know we did a couple more things suggested in the forums/support pages, but I can't remember what they are at this point...my brain is fried! (Also remember following Apple's instruction's for what to do when you get a blue screen at startup...tried this first thing to no avail.)
Soooooo...any suggestions or ideas? We would greatly appreciate the help!
Thanks so much!
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Ok, so...what's going on today is that Leopard will open to the login screen (sometimes I can log in but generally not), but then the cursor is frozen, as is the keyboard (can't type to login or use shortcuts) and even a usb mouse doesn't work. The only thing I can do is power down with the off button, and upon restarting, if I get past the login, get the message "Computer was restarted after Mac OSX quit unexpectedly" or something like that. (Just restarted from frozen login screen and got blue screen again.)
Wondering if it's Leopard or my wonky install (we started up in target mode, with the install disc in the drive, and opened the installer on my mac, then chose the broken mac hd to install to. Seemed to work, but may this be related to the driver issue you mentioned?) We did it this way (after doing a zero-out erase) because it wouldn't even start up from the install disc itself.
It sounds to me like this method of installing is okay. If you did not have the correct drivers, you could never get as far as you do in Leopard. I am wondering why you install with the disk in your Mac and not in the iBook.
Anyway, have reset the PRAM, still no luck. On the apple page regarding this procedure they mention a power management unit reset for ibooks...would this correspond at all to our problems? Is it something I should try or steer clear of?
Okay. Resetting PRAM was a long shot, but worth trying. I would steer clear of trying to reset PMU. That is related to sleeping, waking and such things and your problems do not seem to be related to that. Also, I have never reset PMU, but from what I recall, it sounded a bit tricky.
Am now attempting to reboot from backup. And yes, when I open Startup Manager, the internal hard drive DOES show up. If that means anything. Have a bootable backup (created with SuperDuper) which also shows up, but when I try to start up with it, I get stuck at blue screen (still.)
As far as the iBook hard drive is concerned, this is a good sign. I am thinking that perhaps the hard drive is okay and the problem is something else.
So, since the iBook originally came with Panther, and Leopard is really yet another unknown to throw into the loop, if I do another erase/install, I'm thinking Panther is the way to go? (Unfortunately we shared a family pack Tiger with a friend, and haven't got a hold of that install disc yet, otherwise I'd try Tiger, since it's what it was running and so is what the backup is, too.)
From what I have seen in the forums, when people are having startup problems, the last resort solution usually works. That is, they take the install disk that came with the machine (Panther in your case), erase and zero out the hard drive and then re-install. That usually seems to do the trick. What they have probably done is either replaced some corrupted piece of software or fixed a directory problem on the disk. In your case, you have already done most of this except not with the Panther disk. So, I think it is worth going through this effort with Panther. If this actually worked, then you could worry about how to update your software to where you want it to be. If it does not work, I would consider this more evidence that there is probably a hardware issue.
If this doesn't work (and would probably have to try in target mode again if the install disc won't open...) should I buy Tech Tool or Disk Warrior or just send it in for repair? I suppose there's a point at which I'll have to admit defeat!
Not sure that I caught this before. You imply that the install disk will not open if it is inserted into the iBook. Is this a problem that showed up when the blue screen business started? When you insert the disk into the iBook and then reboot that computer from the disk (pressing the C key during startup), do you get something on the desktop?
If, when repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility, you had received a message that the disk was not repaired, then a stronger utility would be a reasonable choice. But, that does not seem to be your situation. So, if it were me, I would probably not buy Tech Tool or Disk Warrior at this point. I do think that it is possible that these utilities might be able to do more troubleshooting than you can do with Disk Utility and the Apple hardware CD. Tech Tool in particular has some hardware testing capability. So, if money were no object, you might buy that and see if it can give you more detailed diagnostic information. Of course, these are purely my opinions. I could be totally wrong on any of this.
Oh yeah, I don't know if I mentioned this earlier or not but all the restarts yesterday were accompanied be a brief "whooshing" sound (like a fan) for a second or so, and once I got both that sound and a "boooooop" issuing from the innards. Not sure if this means anything or not, but thought I'd mention it. Maybe the hard drive is melting! (Also I get further along the startup route after it's been turned off for a while.)
This is worth mentioning and I overlooked it in your previous posts. The "booooooop" sound got my attention. When the computer is started up, one of the first things that is done is that there are some hardware tests performed. Apple does use some sounds to indicate certain problems. You can learn a little more at You hear "breaking glass" or "musical beeps" when you turn on your Mac. I don't know if you are hearing one of these sounds or if they are unrelated. But, I think that the "boooooop" sound in particular might be trying to tell you something.
Let me sum up my opinions (which could be dead wrong). I still suspect a hardware problem. However, maybe the hard drive is okay. I think it would be worth using the Panther CD to do another erase and install on the iBook. If you still do not have a working computer, it is probably time to seek professional help. (However, if you get to this point, it is conceivable that you could be having some problems with your RAM chips. If you have worked with RAM chips before, you could try to play games with them: reseating them and removing them one by one- if you have two chips. But, if you have not done this before and are do not have some familiarity with working on hardware of this nature, perhaps you should just leave this alone.)
If you need to seek some professional help, you might be able to try one of these options - If you have AppleCare, you should definitely give them a call. If you live close enough to an Apple store, you could take your computer to the genius bar and see if they can help.
Sorry that you are having such a hassle,
Rich

Safe boot issues tried everything

Howdy From NZ
I have a MBP with a bad case of safe Boot Issues
Things I have tried:
Disk Repair
Checked S.M.A.R.T status of HDD under linux and run a full surface scan to check HDD is fine
Replaced SATA Cable
Reloaded OSX (upto yosimite)
tried another hdd just in case
replaced top panel (thought maybe it was holding down the shift button)
and a few others I cannot remember at the moment
i'm Thinkin' it's motherboard related but would like a second opinion from the forum guru's
Also I've taken it to the closest apple authorised repair store, and they said it was the HDD, but clearly it isnt as I have replaced it with a brand new one and the sata cable
interestingly enough, If i 6 second death it, upon reboot it works fine, but if i restart normally it hits this problem, I'm thinking maybe its doing some sort of start up check thats causing it?, it seems to work fine if you boot with verbose mode every time without fail, so is verbose mode disabling something upon startup?
I run a repair store here, but im not apple authorized, but as stated before, have gotten further than the people that are.... any help will be greatly appreciated

Good Timing,
I was heading to Christchurch (the only town in the south island with an "apple genius store")
they told me it was the HDD again, even after telling them I have put a new HDD in and also changed the Sata cable!!!
Clearly this isn't going anywhere fast, and although I appreciate the help you have given me, I'm going to nut this one out by myself.
***update***
I borrowed a mates mac that was the exact same model and swapped the Motherboards over, worked straight from the get-go
Thank for the help, it was appreciated in making me think I'm not crazy.

Serious Issues tried everything, about to give up

Hey there,
Here's the story:
Downloaded some new music for the first time in a couple weeks, went to plug my 3rd gen iTouch in to sync and iTunes said I had an update available for iTunes and Itouch, both got updated. After iTunes finished, iTouch wasn't being discovered. I tried to restore, which deleted all my music from my ipod and left me with the connect to itunes screen. After about 2 weeks of searching the net and trying different things I finally got iTunes to recognize it again by having to use Windows Vista working information to overwrite some stuff on my Windows 7 Itunes. Now it says I need to connect it to another computer to restore (error message 13). So i do this... All is well again! Yay! Not so much, now i have to rewrite my iTunes library and figure out why my Wifi and bluetooth are greyed out and not accessible. I decide its not really worth it right now, i'm not to worried about the wifi so i just rewrite the library. I sync all my music, test it out and everything works. So i decided to try the wifi this morning just in case, start with the basics by turning the ipod off and letting iTunes turn it back on when connected, MISTAKE! Now im back to the connect ipod to itunes screen and error message 13. This is getting EXTREMELY annoying...
Anyone know what to do to fix my error message 13 and wifi?

Same thing happend to me and my daughter, ended up with 2 comatose touches. Apple was no help (big surprise!). My son is a Mac fan and was able to restore everything on his Mac but all was lost again when synced to my HP or Dell, finally got it to be a toy with apps but no music. ****** as I am at Apple, I bought a Mac and got another touch for free, synced my old touch to the Mac and all is well. Buying a Mac may not be the best alternative if you are not in the market for one--Apple answering a question would be a better alternative. Obviously my 2 are not the only Touches to experience this problem and Apple will do nothing! Apple Store was very helpful but their thoughts, recommendations, etc. didn't seem to match corporate Apple's since I did what they recommended and basically got the middle finger from customer service and support at Apple. Good luck!

Help! Final cut pro 7 crashing on startup..Tried everything!

When I startup Final cut the startup screen appears... then crashes before the programme opens.
I have done disc repairs, deleted preferences files, done updates, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times.
Im guessing that it is something to do with my Mac not the software. Really stuck and can't find anything online thats helped.
Any help or advice will be great appriceiated.

The message means your machine is looking for an external device that is not connected to the computer. If you are getting that message, it means you have not properly deleted your FCP preference files.
Download and run Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager. It's free and located on the DR website. It will get rid of all the FCP prefs properly.
If this works, after FCP launches, go into the FCP system settings and reset the locations of where FCP puts capture files, scratch files, etc. to a directory on a hard drive OTHER than your system disk.
Good luck,

Itunes/Iphone/Ipod device driver issues - tried everything. Still not working.

After hours and hours of research, I'm completely stuck. Here's the basic problem.
When I plug in my Iphone to my laptop, windows pulls up a little window that says installing device driver software. After several minutes, the process fails and a message comes up that says windows found drivers for my device, but encountered an error and wasn't able to install them. In the device manager, the iphone is listed as an "other device" with a yellow triangle/exclamation point. Itunes never recognizes the device.
When I plug in my ipod nano 4th generation, the exact same thing happens, except it's listed in the device manager as an ipod. (same yellow triangle though.)
Up until today, both of these devices have been working properly, syncing without trouble. The iphone synced wirelessly and the ipod every time I plugged it in. I can't figure out what on earth happened to my laptop today that messed things up.
It's also worth noting that I have another older ipod nano... second generation, I think, that plugs in and is recognized immediately, works perfectly.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. I worked through every single troubleshooting guide that Apple has to offer. No change.
2. I did a complete clean install of itunes and all additional components, rebooted and reinstalled. No change.
3. I uninstalled/re-installed usb controllers in the device manager. No change.
4. reset both the phone and the ipod. No change.
5. I've tried various cables. No change.
6. I've run system checks and repair utilities for windows vista.
7. I've used selective start up to see if another program is interfering. I've stood on my head and counted to one hundred. I've only said seventeen swear words.
At this point I've done so much searching and troubleshooting, I can't imagine how anything is going to fix this issue. So this is my last hope. Please oh please be smart enough to tell me what to do...

Not sure if this is significant, but in a weird turn of events, when I tried plugging the ipod in this morning, the little message that pops up to install device driver software actually told me the drivers were installed successfully. However, in the device manager, it still says the drivers are NOT installed properly, the little yellow triangle is still there and the ipod still isn't registering in itunes, or my computer. So. Not really any improvement, but a different symptom none the less?
I'm desperate, guys. Someone help?

My 160gb ipod classic won't sync to itunes on a mac (I've tried everything)

Just got a 160gb ipod classic off of craigslist. The slate grey one.
It says "connected eject before disconnecting" on the ipod when I plug it in and nothing shows up in itunes. Every once in a while the "sync" circulating arrows start up, then stops and goes back to the plug symbol.
It isn't available under "devices".
I updated itunes, I restarted my mac, I put the ipod into and out of recovery mode (while plugged into itunes and on it's own), and still nothing.
Everything on the ipod works perfectly fine.
One thing to note, is the ipod is completely full. It has like 3kb of free space. Could this be part of the problem? Is there any way to delete directly off the ipod not through itunes?
Is it possible that it's formatted for windows and needs to be reformatted for mac? If so, how do I do that?
Please help!

You may refer to this tutorial, it's about how to fix iTunes sync problem with iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

USB disk won't mount on startup (have tried everything)

Hi!
I'm having big problems getting my USB disk to mount on startup.:(
It used to work perfectly by having 'mount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' in rc.local (and umount in local.shutdown) but recently it started saying that 'filesystem type must be defined' (or something like that). So I changed the line to 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' but now I get a message that '/dev/sdc1 does not exist'.
So I decided to get this fixed in fstab once and for all.
I checked the designations of the disks with 'fdisk -l' and noticed that the USB disk would alternate between /dev/sdc, /dev/sde and /dev/sdd quite random on every reboot. In other words I couldn't mount it in fstab by using one of those paths cause I'd get the same problem with '/dev/sdc or -e or -d does not exist'. I figured the sollution must be to mount the disk by using UUID. I checked the uuid's and got the following (as you can see the USB disk is on this reboot registered as '/dev/sde'):
bash-3.2$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0

I other words the UUID of the disk should be '94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6' so I added that to the fstab file, but I still get the same error that the disk doesn't exist. How is this possible? Isn't the UUID supposed to be the same no matter what? When the disk is clearly labeled with this UUID every time I check it why can't it be used in fstab??
Here's my fstab (I've commented out the lines that I've been trying out):
# /etc/fstab: static file system information

#/dev/sdc1 /media/disk defaults 0 0
#UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk defaults 0 0
What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried to use different options like 'rw,auto,exec' but it won't work.

It seems I'm able to mount the disk from the terminal by doing '# sudo mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk'.
But this only works when I do it manually. Adding 'mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk' to rc.local only gives the error that filesystem must be defined and when it's defined I get the error that device is not found.
How can it work manually, but not in fstab or rc.local?
Here's my dmesg:

Mac startup issues

Help my mac won't fully start up. I have tried starting in safe mode which doesn't work and then I did disk utility, verified my HD and then tried to repair till it said "repair stopped. Back up files, reformat disk, and restore backed up files". What steps should I take next?

If you do not have any backups, attach an external HDD to your MBP and try to copy as much of your data as you can.
Then install a new HDD in your MBP and reinstall the OS and your user data.
Ciao.

Old mini mac startup issues

Hi there. My work MiniMac has been playing up for a while now. If i press the power button it will start up and work for about 30mins with no problems at all, then it will just die. Nothing. Dead. No matter if i unplug cables, plug back in and hold power button etc etc. Nothing. If i leave it for say 6months then it will work again for about 30mins before just dying as before. So as you can see, i;ve not been able to use it for about a year now. Ideas? thanks

well i cant get it work, so cant install more software. its about 30mins, i dont think it bing exact is to much of an issue. could be the airvent, not sure how to in to clean it though may just get work to send it off to get mended?

Issue trying to use old Mac Time Machine backup on new Mac

I've just got a new iMac 27" to replace my old 21" and am planning to restore files from the Time Machine backup I have. On the iMac 21" I used an external hard-drive connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station to back up using Time Machine. On the new Mac the external drive is connected directly to the USB port. The old machine is now about 10,000 miles away from me.
The issue I have is I cannot read the back-up from the old machine on the new.
During the first startup I tried to read from the Time Machine backup but the system told me I could not use it because it was from a different machine - it read all the back-up dates and let me chose, but did not allow to use it.
After startup was completed, I run a software update to make sure everything had the same version and tried Migration Assistant (with the HD still connected to the USB port), but the wheel keeps spinning not finding any disk.
I can read the .sparsebundle file on the external drive and I see it is intact. Disk Utility recognizes it and Status is Not mounted. When I try to open it with Disk Utility it says it is not mountable.
Any of you know how I can resolve this? I am thinking of a way of opening the file and reading it.
I really just need my music, my movies and my pictures, but I have 1.2T of that so it is not something I can download from the old Mac.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Why can't I install iTunes version 10.5 or higher? I've tried everything suggested on this forum, my friend has a mac and she can't either and it seems like the main problem is the apple Mobile device.exe wont install and applesync

Hey anybody,
Neither myself (running on PC windows vista 32 bit) or my friend (on a mac) are able to install versions of iTunes around 10.5 or higher successfully. This leads me to believe the problem isn't necessarily with our computers and there may be something wrong elsewhere. I'm not a computer wiz but I have tried most of the advice on these forums e.g. Uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting temporary files, expanding files and trying individual downloads and more. I can install older versions of iTunes where they use to combine it with QuickTime with no problems however this is no good to me or my friend because only versions 10.5 and up come with support with iPhone 4S and that's what we need. I managed after several attempts to install iTunes 10.52 but without the apple mobile device so therefor the iTunes wouldn't connect to my phone or recognise it, apple sync notifier also has problems and fails to start.
Please can someone help me with this, I have tried everything on the apple troubleshooting pages so please don't link me those. Or please can iTunes and apple do something in an update that corrects this problem because I know many people are having similar issues. I only bought this phone for the music and at the moment I feel cheated because I wouldn't have these problems with any other phone because I'd just be able to drag and drop.

Hi there,
I had the same experience. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows 7 Home Edition, 32 bit.
I tried to install iTunes 10.5 and it started installing, then, just before the end of the process, came up with the following error message:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Of course, no information on what the program that couldn't be run was! At first I tried the usual stuff, like scanning for viruses etc. but nothing doing. Then I started Googling. In the end, I uninstalled all Apple stuff from my computer. A lot of it I had to do manually, going in to the program files drive and deleting stuff from there, but some of it wouldn't delete as it was saying it was open in Windows Explorer. In the end, I managed to delete the iTunes folders by selecting one of my mp3 tracks saved on the computer and right clicking 'open with'. I then browsed my pc to locate the iTunes folders still outstanding and was able to right click and delete them that way.
Then emptied the recycle bin and did a restart before going online and downloading iTunes 10.5.
Thankfully it worked, but its taken me a good few hours and made me really quite tetchy! I've never had this problem before, so I hope this is going to be a one off.
One thing that doesn't seem to be working is that, despite how many times I tell it that my preference is for the iTunes Media folder to be located on my external hard drive, it keeps putting it back to the C drive! Didn't have that issue with the last version. Grrrrrr. Arrrrgggh.
Hope you manage to get yours sorted - this is affecting a lot of people by the look of things.

Gray Startup Question Mark. I've tried everything!

Ok, so my Mac has been running slightly slow these past couple days, nothing I thought I should worry about, until today when I tried to restart it, it would not start up. It would come up with the gray screen and apple logo then just shut off. Then I tried the recovery mode to fix the disks. It told me to repair the HDD, which I tried; however, it couldn't be repaired. So I reformatted it, tried to reinstall Mavericks, but when that wasn't successful I tried to install Mountain Lion, but once again failed. It can't even find the startup disk.
Should I just buy a new hard drive or is there a way to fix that?
Also I don't really care about the files that were on there, most of them weren't important, and the ones that were I could easily have access to them in the future.
Help me out! Please, I need to fix my baby!

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
How to Boot From The Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main 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.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.
