Macbook pro 2010 wont start up?
My wife used my macbook pro in battery mode until it went flat and died on her. She plugged it in to recharge and when she tried using it again it just opened the first grey screen (with spinning wheel) and stayed like that!! Ive tried some suggested reboots to no avail and now it opens grey screen with spinning wheel and a bar apears below for a minute or so then it just closes down again. Any ideas guys??? Cheers:)
Well, I´m the geeky type of guy, so I have quite a lot of computers, so what I did is I took the hard drive out of my MacBook Pro and inserted it into a 2.5" external enclosure, then copied the files i wanted on to another computer.
Then put hard drive backing computer and insert a Mac OS 10.6.3 Snow Leopard install disk > partition the hard drive and install Snow Leopard > copy the data from the computer that you have previously copied the data on to a memory stick or a external hard drive and transfer it to your MacBook Pro
Thats what i´ve done
hope this helps!

Hi All,
I have had my 13" MacBook Pro since mid 2010 and its been great. Suddenly, four days back after coming home from work, it refused to turn on. The battery was fully charged and no physcial damage has happened to the laptop. I tried SMC reset, NRAM reset, unplugging the battery for some time, cleaning the inside, and nothing worked.
The next evening, I tried turning it on and it just booted normally and worked fine. I then turned it off and again refused to turn on the next day. After about 24hrs it turned on, again completely out of luck. I didnt turn it off this time and let it into sleep mode. The next morning, it again refused to wake up from sleep mode, despite the white light in the front continuing to blink as it does when it is in sleep mode.
It has yet to start up again and I have no idea what to do. Is it my button? Is it my battery or charger? Is it the logic board? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
ARWelcome to Apple Support Communities
It could be a battery or logic board issue, but it's difficult to know what's failing. You can discard a software problem because it happens in "cold" startups.
The best thing you can do is to take it to an Apple Store. Diagnostic is free and the Genius will tell you what's happening with your Mac. Unfortunately, if it's a logic board issue and you don't have AppleCare, this will be an expensive repair -
Macbook Pro - Applications wont start without External Display
Hi all,
Apologies if this question has already been answered, but I have spent a lot of time Googling to no avail...
I have an early 2011 15" MBP with the following spec:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B24
SMC Version (system): 1.69f1
AMD Radeon HD 6490M / Intel HD Graphics 3000
Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.8
I normally use the MBP with a 27" Cinema Display connected (mini display port/thunderbolt connector) and the clamshell shut. All is fine.
However, if I remove the external monitor and want to use the MBP with just its own display, some applications will not start. They bounce int he dock for a while and then hang, and need to be forcibly killed. Not all applications behave this way, but so far I have experienced this with Aperture 3.2, Omnigraffle, Parallels, Pixelmator.
Does anyonw have a clue whats going on and how to fix?
ThanksHi Grant & Bob
Thanks for your responses.
The adaptor has been removed from the Mac, and I have tried all the obvious solutions (like using detect displays), but to no avail.
I will try and investigate some other scenarious (like using a different external display) and see what happens.
Thanks -
Completely new Macbook Pro 13'' wont start!
Hey there. I'm pretty desperate now. After waiting for some time for my new(first) macbook pro, I finally received it today. My problem is now that it's stuck in the window with the Apple logo and the spinning loading wheel at the first start. What can I do? I've tried SMC, but that didn't help. Now I really hope that you guys can sort it out for me!
Thanks
The model is MBP 13.3/2.4 ordered a week agoStarted working after some tries! When i held the C-key during bootup, I got to the installer!

hi
i have a macbook pro running leopard and i cannot get my os to start up. it goes to the grey apple screen wtih the wheel at the bottom then to the dark grey restart screen. ive never had this problem before. any ideas?!...Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This is usually a kernel panic issue*:
http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
I suggest first off telling us the state of your backup, and if there is none, look into data recovery options*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html#RECOVER
Once your data is safe, we can discuss further options.

Mu macbook pro 2012 wont start it goes into this i cant get anything help please
my macbook pro is only on safe mode, was working fine then plugged in battery charger and it came up with a funny screen and voice asking what language i wanted i did disc repair but it said it didnt need it all i can get into is the help line PLEASE HELP
Adam,
if preserving your files is worth your effort, then copy them to an external drive; if not, then don’t. Once you’ve preserved whatever you care to, go back into Disk Utility from Recovery mode, select your internal disk from the left-hand side of the window (probably the first item in the list), and select the Erase tab on the right-hand side. In the Format dropdown, select “Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)”; in the Name textbox, enter the name for your reformatted volume (“Macintosh HD” is typical); and then press the Erase… button. Once the erasure is completed, exit Disk Utility, and then select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you power it up, OS X Internet Recovery will download your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers, and then reïnstall it. When it restarts after the installation, run Software Update to bring it up-to-date, and then copy your preserved files back to your internal disk. -
Macbook Pro 17" Wont start up/ Install OS X
When I got the Mac it had the problem When I tried to boot it up it would show the apple logo, a loading bar and then it would just power off .... (Not boot up).
And when I tried to boot into recovery mode using the OS X disc and a Bootable USB I made. It would get stuck on a screen with the prohibitory symbol and would just stay like that. (http://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2010/01/29/e8ec4a91-fdba-11e2-8c7c-d4ae52e62bc c/96a6baa6398cfcfbbf90ea5d99e3ccf3/ProhibitorySign.png)
Took it to a local PC repair shop, but they couldn't fix it but told me the HDD was faulty/corrupt. So I bought a new HDD and installed it and when I boot it up I get the flashing folder symbol, as it is a new or blank HDD. But again when I try to install OS X using the disc i still get the prohibitory symbol
Help!!!!!
Going to college in a few weeks and really need this to be fixed A.S.A.PIt is helpful if you would indicate the exact model MBP you have.
Install the HDD in an enclosure and attach it to the MBP.
Take the original installation disk (Leopard?) and start up the MBP and install the OSX on the external HDD. Boot the MBP from the external HDD. If that is successful, it indicates the internal SATA cable is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Ive had my MBP for little over a week and everything was working fine. A few days ago I tried turning it on and the LED light on the button that flips the screen up came on, I could hear everything inside spinning around and whatever so that all seemed fine but I couldnt hear any sounds that you normally hear when you turn it on (Like that big DUMMM when the apple logo appears) and the screen just stays black. So its as though ti starts, but just before the screens about to turn on, everything stops. The usual reaction kicked in, i s* myself! Considering this MBP was bought for me for my course and it needs to be handed in at the end so it is not technically mine. I held the power button and turned it off, pressed the power button and turned it on again and it worked. So i didnt think much of it. Then it became more frequent and last night I was on safari and safari just crashed, i tried force quit and then my MBP just switched off. I tried to turn it on and the same thing happened, only it hasnt switched back on no matter how hard I try. Its been broke since last night and I need it preferably for tommorow morning.
Ive looked and there seems to be similar problems, but they all get solutions like Hold the power button, hold cntl, cmd, p and r and whatever but that doesnt help me. Nothing happens!
Also I placed a DVD in my MBP to check if the optical drive was working fne and it succesfully swalloed it without giving it back and now I dont know how to get that out. Ive tried turning it on and holding the mouse button (even though its a trackpad) and nothing works.
HELPPPP?!
Would anybody reccomend the genius bar? Plus does it cost? Do I need proof the MBP is mine because all the documents are at the place where I take my course.I dont have the installer disk, its all at where I do my course... The only thing I have is my laptop and power lead. I was hoping I could et it fixed myself so its like it never happened and it can be forgotton about. Sounds a bit wierd but you know... Saves the ear ache.
And i meant does the genius bar cost? Sorry for the inconvenience. (Spelling :S)
EDIT: The cmd, option o and f keys dont work.

My macbook pro 2010 has started getting extremely noisy in the last few months and I had a strange warning flash up on the screen a month or so ago about a power or battery issue… can you help please?
Calibrating a 2010 MBP is not required. All it will achieve is putting an unnecessary cycle on it and shortening its life:

You may try a SMC reset:

Open System Information>Power and post the following from your MBP:

MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?
Thanks. It started up com that disk but when I went to install it had an error message (didn't get to write out what it said). So I attempted to restore from time machine but it said there was no space, even though it's a new (replacement under warranty) HGST 1TB HD, so I did what I think was right and tried to partition the disk but it now says 'Partition faild...POSIX report...cannot allocate memory'. im not sure what to do, and I'm trying to remember how the previous hd was installed and formatted for use but that was over a year ago now. Should have erased the hd first or something?

Move full SSD / Drive from busted Macbook Pro 2010 to older model
Hi,
I have a 13" Macbook Pro 2010 model whose logic board has failed. I want to take the SSD (installed with Snow Leopard and full of files and folder structures I want to keep) out of this busted computer and move it over to a Late 2007 Macbook Pro model I have lying around to get access to the drive again. I know in theory, I can install a SSD into this model, but can I install an SSD that is already formatted by my newer model? Are there things I need to consider?
And if the answer is yes, BUT it can be slightly unstable, can I go about mirroring the drive onto an external hardrive once it is in the 2007 model, wiping the SSD, reinstalling the SSD with a fresh boot and then transferring file structure from mirrored drive back onto the freshly installed SSD in my 2007 model? Does that sound like a good process?
Thanks.The OS is machine-specific, so I doubt that an OS installed on a SSD on a 2010 would even boot a 2007 model.
You can TRY to install the drive into the 2007 model and use the installation disc(s) that came with that model to install the OS. It might work, might not. More likely than not, you're just going to have to erase the SSD, from Disk Utility on your installation disc, and start anew.

my macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help
Hi..
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.

Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
And disabling the resume feature can help.

Macbook Pro 2010 upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite keeps shutting down on its own
I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago, I have a macbook pro 2010, and in the last two weeks it started shutting down on its own. At first when i'd wake it, the fan would come on loudly and then it would shut down. In the last couple of days, I would make sure all programs were shut when it wasn't in use and then put it to sleep but every time i'd return it would be shut down and need a hard restart. If i just pressed the on button lightly it wouldn't start. And when i turn it on the fan comes on immediately. I'm a publisher so I'm working in indesign and illustrator a lot but I keep a constant look out for my memory and this isn't the problem. I'm working to a deadline here and can't afford to lose my computer for 3 days in the mac store (I live in Barbados) to get it fixed. Any advise?

from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the report—the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang report. -
My macbook pro (2010 13inch) is really laggy when I'm using apps like iTunes and safari. the arrow on the screen seems to not respond and is laggy and when viewing videos it can be really laggy. I just want to know if it was a problem i could fix, thanks.
You might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?
