Macbook air not displaying anything after startup

i wanted to clean reinstall of Mac OS X Lion on my macbook air, so first i holded command  + R key, than after few mins few options like reinstall os x lion,than time machine, and disk utility so i clicked on disk utility and erased my macbook air ssd and than i closed that dialog box and went to reinstall os x lion on my macbook air, and than it started but than due to some kind of internet problems that process stoped and got cancelled and noww whenever im turning on My MBA nothing happens just a white screen comes displaying a folder in between of the screen thats it.. and nothing happens, does anyone have any idea what should i do.

no dude that screen is not coming now, instead of that internet recovery option comes.
i searched on google and i went through a post where it was written boot your macbook air via bootable usbstick, but he didnt mentioned how to do it, i wanted to know how to boot my mba by using usb stick.

  • MacBook Air not turn on, after hard disk eject, without guarantee

    Hello i have two macbook air not turning on,
    after ejecting external hard disk, when macbook air is sleeping.
    External hardisk ( 2.5 sata) have one ending of USB Type mini-B
    and two endings of cable (one for data, other for power), of USB Type A
    After next sequence,
    -insert one tail of usb cable into macbook air, the second usb cable into 5v adapter (like iPhone usb adapter)
    -after some time macbook air going to sleep
    -without waking macbook air, pull out the cable what connected into macbook air
    MacBook Air will not turning on.
    even after this instructions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1367
    In nearest AppleStore they say that there is a problem with logic part of notebook,
    And the minimal price of repair will be cost half price of macbook air.
    In other words, they say what they will not searching the problem of this,
    they only will replace mother board.
    Would you suggest other solutions ?
    May be somebody else have this problem ?

    OK. I wasn't quite sure. So, the first thing to try is Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM followed by Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). If neither can be effected then take it in for service as there has been a serious hardware failure.

  • MacBook Air not wake up after sleep

    Hi,
    My MacBook Air(Mid 2012) can't wake up after sleep. I recently updated operation system to Mac OS X Mavericks and now after sleep mode screen goes black and nothing happens after this. Only thing that I could do is hard reboot by pressing power button and boot again. Do anyone have the same issue and suggestions how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance
    Dmitrii

    Same thing here. MBA 2011 working perfectly until I updated to Mavericks.
    It often doesn't wake up fully. It does draw the password input box but there's no text cursor and no input is possible. The mouse cursor is not visible either. Waiting does nothing (tried ~15 minutes, no change). Closing the lid does not put the laptop back to sleep, it's fully frozen and the only way out is a reboot by holding the power button.

  • Macbook Air not recognizing anything connected via USB?

    My MB Air is not recognizing anything that I connect via USB...camera, harmony remote, phone, toys - nothing!  Nothing is showing up as being recongnized...anyone else having this problem?  I have tried virtually every device...what the heck?

    SMC reset and re verify
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    If no USB device of any kind can be found contact Apple for appt. for free in shop full diagnostic and likely parts replacement.

    The Macbook Air will power on after a minute or so and works fine as of now.
    This has happenned on two different occasions today.
    Anyone have a reason why this would happen? Any solutions?
    Thanks for your assistance,

    Try a SMC and PRAM reset

  • Why is it not showing anything after I plugged in my USB hard drive? I cannot locate the drive in my macbook. FYI this happened after few times using it.

    I need help as I am new to IOS.
    Currently it is not showing anything after I plugged in the hdd to my mac book.

    I had the same exact issue, which you can see in another forum.
    I "killed" both my MBP and my wife's MBP by plugging in my iPhone and getting a  message about USB drawing too much power.
    It was not fixed by using an SMC reset.
    I DID fix it by unplugging the battery, I left it unplugged long enough to remove the RAM, HD and put some RAM and HD back into place. (I initially swapped the RAM and HD from my MBP into my wife's MBP.
    After that everything was good, although upon first boot, some apps crashed because of the "system date" being set to a date before 2000. I forget the exact date, but it will be some time in 1984, the birthdate of the Macintosh. It is not a big issue, just correct the date and time.
    If you are curious about that date, copy a large file on your drive and look at the CREATED/MODIFIED date....it will show this same date, until the copy is complete, at which time you will see the correct one.
    Once again, try to disconnect your battery, very carefully by lifting up the connecter evenly on both sides to avoid damaging the connector or the board.

  • Mid 2009 MacBook Air - Most navigation freezes after reboot, fixed after hibernate

    On my Mid 2009 MacBook Air, at some point after upgrading to 10.8.2 (not sure if it is directly related), a strange behavior started:
    Boots up normally, but then most navigation is frozen. 
    Mouse cursor moves fine, but can't "click" anything. 
    Tab and Return keys work, which I can use w/ power button to select restart or shutdown.
    Other keys work, somehow got to spotlight window one time and was able to type search term and hit Return
    Dash menu won't slide up when I move cursor to bottom, as it normally does
    Every once in awhile everything works fine after a restart, maybe 1 out of 25 times
    Problem exists even in Safe Boot
    Temporary workaround:  I have noticed the problem is magically fixed after a hibernate, until the next shutdown.  So after restart I close my MacBook to force a hibernate, reopen once I see the white light flashing, and then everthing is fine.  So far this workaround consistently works.  I rarely shut down by MacBook under normal conditions so I'm certainly not dead in the water, but I would like to get this thing figured out if possible.
    Other data, and what I've tried so far:
    Searched to find others that might have had this problem and already determined a fix, didn't find any
    Logged in as different user (Guest), problem still existed
    Nuked all the apps that were automatically loading at startup, didn't help
    Tried Safe Boot, problem sitll existed
    Used Disk Utility to Verify Disk, no problems found
    Reloaded 10.8.2, didn't help
    Loaded 10.8.2 supplemental update, didn't help
    No new apps loaded within last few months
    Not running AV software
    Unfortunately I don't have Time Capsule set up
    I have about 300 lines from my System Log that captures a Restart after which the problem existed, immediately followed by a Hibernate after which the problem was fixed.  Would it be appropriate for me to paste it in here?  I'm not knowledgeable enough to troubleshoot through the System Log.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Rob

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

    My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
    I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
    I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
    Any suggestions?

    Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
    This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

  • HT5429 maps on iphone 5 do not display anything

    Hi everyone. I recently bought a new iPhone 5 and I have a serious problem with my maps app. It does not display anything I search except the grid lines and pins. please help how can I fix it.  pls send the instructions at [email protected] Thank you in advance.

    It is not a good idea to put any kind of personal contact information in such a public forum.
    First, close the maps app. Double click the home button.  At the bottom, press and hold any app until a red circle appears on the top of each.  Tap the red circle on the Maps app.  Next, reset the phone:  press and hold the power and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider if it appears.

  • I create trigger but not display massage after insert in oracle 10g

    I create trigger but not display massage after insert in oracle 10g
    **CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TableName**
    **AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON test**
    **BEGIN**
    **if inserting then**
    **dbms_output.put('Message');**
    **end if;**
    **END;**

    What user interface are you using?
    If the tool doesn't support the SQL*Plus syntax (set serveroutput on), it probably has an option somewhere to enable DBMS Output. Not even knowing what tool you're using, it's impossible for us to guess where that option might be configured.
    As others have suggested, using DBMS Output to test code is less than ideal because you're dependent on the application you're using to display it to you and not every application can or will do that. If you want to use DBMS_Output, you may need to switch to a different GUI (SQL Developer or SQL*Plus are both free utilities from Oracle). Otherwise, you'd probably be better off having the trigger do something that you can subsequently query (i.e. write a row to a log table).

  • Macbook pro not displaying music library: What do I need to do to show music files in Library? They are not showing up.

    macbook pro not displaying music library: What do I need to do to show music files in Library? They are not showing up.

    If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
    You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
    Store  >  Authorise this computer...
    This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
    If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required.
