MACbook Pro brand new, froze up on me. I get a login screen then.... Gray?

Can someone please help me. I have a brand new MACbook pro and I tried transferring my PC data. But now my Mac is froze up. I get a login screen then gray........
<Edited by Host>

Hold down the Shift key on Restart, right after the startup tone.
That will boot into Safe Mode, which will run some disk checks and clear out some caches. If it boots, then restart normally and see what happens.

I've never transferred from a PC, so I don't know what Migration Assistant would have done. I can't imagine it would have transferred anything over that would do any damage to the system.

Are the referbished macbook pro brand new?

Are the referbished macbook pro brand new?

They are used but thoroughly checked by Apple to make sure they are in 100% working order before sale.
Lots of them are actually un-used but certain rules say Apple have to sell them as refurbished.
Many of them are returns, meaning they have been used for less than 14 days (to be eligible to return a purchased Apple product, you have to have purchased it less than 14 days ago).

You may be having a hardware problem that you cannot resolve on your own. Nevertheless...
...hold down the command and R keys whilst booting to try to get to your Recovery partition. If you can, use Disk Utility to try to Verify your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). If the verification fails, try to repair your hard drive. If everything appears to be OK, restart.
If you can't get into your Recovery partition, your problem is likely hardware related. If so, keep your appointment and see what the Apple techs have to say.

Images look lousy on retinal display macbook pro brand new

Just bought a new 15 inch MacBook Pro with retinal display. My images look awful in Photoshop CC and Bridge. Apparently there are no updates that I don't already have. Any suggestions?

“Lousy” and “awful” aren’t very technical terms. Perhaps a screenshot and some actual details of what you don’t like.

2 monitors on 13" Macbook Pro (brand new)

I'm buying a Macbook Pro next week (April 15, 2014), and I want to use it as a desktop and attach 2 HDMI monitors and Apple USB keyboard (with keypad).
Knowledge base article kb/ht5918 ("Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays") is not clear about how to do this. Some options that might work
Option 1:
MiniDisplayPort=>HDMI connector on MiniDisplay Port
USB 3.0=>HDMI connector on USB 3.0 port
Option 2:
MiniDisplayPort to HDMI connector on MiniDisplay Port
MiniDisplayPort to HDMI connector on Thunderbolt Port
Chat sale support said Option 2 would work, but I have not seen it on the web.
Question 1: Will these options work and which is better?
Question 2: Is there a better option not mentioned above? (cost is not critical)
Question 3: Are high speed HDMI cables required?

Thanks, Clinton.
The display resolution of the displays I'm considering (LG 24EA53V-P or LG MP5656HQ-P) are both 1920 X 1080.
Question 1: Would I be better off with DVI-D connections or HDMI?
Question 2: Do you have suggestions for 24" monitors for email, word processing, programming, monitors that that are not discontinued?

My MacBook Pro will not boot up. I just get a grey screen with a "no entry" symbol and a spinning time icon. Any ideas as to how I can get over this issue?

Hi, I tried to start my MacBook Pro are 2 weeks and all I get is a grey screen with a grey no entry sign and a spinning timer. I have tried a reboot with shift cmd and v and it seems to be looping and referring to an external device. Only the power is attached. Can anyone provide advice on how to get past the grey screen? Many thanks.

Does the system automatically back up data?
No.
As you can getto the Recovery partition, you can at least verify your disk using Disk Utility. If it reports that repairs are needed, you can try to repair but I've found that nearly 100% of the time repairing the disk inevitably FAILS. You should be prepared to, 1) buy a new drive for your machine and, 2) buy a good (see here) enclosure for your damaged drive to try to recover data.
After you get everything fixed, use at least two backup methods to keep your data secure. See Most commonly used backup methods.

My MacBook Pro will not start up. I only get a grey screen with the spinning wheel. No blue page appears and the grey screen remains. Tried starting with the Shift key but ineffective as well.

Can't get my MacBook Pro to start up. Have shut it down several times and tried restarting but all I get is a grey screen with the spinning icon. Apple Support online suggested starting with power button followed immediately with the shift key. Same results. Also tried power button with shift key, command, and V. Black screen appeared instead with lots of data language but still no starting. This final page was suppose to result in an internal system check and restart but nothing happened and the black screen remains.Where do I go from here? Scheduled for the Genius Bar tomorrow but would like to resolve this beforehand.

Macbook pro does not respond to bluetooth keyboard and mouse at login screen

i've seen this question floating around and i don't think i've found one that has been resolved. i'm hoping someone may have an answer by now.
i do not have this issue when i boot into windows 7 (bootcamp) the macbook pro responds to keyboard input and mouse input immediately on the windows 7 login screen. when i boot into mac, there is no response from either. i've seen suggestions of waiting for 30 secods. i still get nothing after waiting for over a minute.
what i do right now is use the built-in touch pad and keyboard of the macbook pro to get past the login screen. once i'm logged in, i can see that the bluetooth devices are not yet connected (the three dots that go across the bluetooth symbol at the top right of the screen are not yet there). then after a while, maybe about half a minute, the bluetooth keyboard and mouse are connected and i can use them normally.
it is not a big deal but it is very annoying.
i am using a logitech bluetooth mouse (v740) and an adesso bluetooth keyboard (wkb-4000bm). i also tried an azio bluetooth keyboard and had the same issue. all these keyboards are made for mac.
thannks in advance.

just a correction, the keyboard and mouse don't always automatically reconnect once i'm logged in. most of the time i have to go click the bluetooth icon at the top right of my screen, select the mouse and then select "connect". i have to do the same to the keyboard.

Kernel Panic on MacBook Pro, brand new.

HI!
I have done a lot of research on the kernel panic. It happens on Safari, and I have done all I think I can do based on what I have read on these forums. (PRAM, reinstall OS, repair permissions, ditch safari prefs, etc)
Another odd thing is that it only happens when my 24 inch cinema display is plugged in.
Here is the part that seems to be the most important.
This is the part that is consistent in every crash...

Safari issue? Plug in issue? Flash issue? Like I said, it's only when I am browsing, and it happens .
Could it be a RAM or hardware issue? Something with the display?
Anyone?
THANKS!!!

I have the exact same problem. New full-loaded 17" MBP, fully updated OSX, and Safari causes a kernel panic about once PER DAY! It's driving me crazy. I've reinstalled Safari, zapped PRAM, updated flash, all to no avail. Here's the kernel panic log:

Will Apple give me anything to trade-in a water-damaged (still functional but hurting) MacBook Pro [Purchased new Dec. 2010]?

Will Apple give me anything to trade-in a water-damaged (still functional but hurting) MacBook Pro [Purchased new Dec. 2010]?
Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you

The techs at Apple do have some lattitude in what they can offer. And it won't hurt to ask, and if they did help you out, it would be your one and only "save" for the rest of your life probably. Since you bought yours back in 2010, I doubt they would do anything. If it were a brand new unit, they may have some sympathy. But in your case, I'd say probably not.

I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

LizMaddock,
you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

I just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive and copied over a backup from time machine now I have a kernel panic message (you must restart) - what do I do now?

i just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive, installed a back up from time machine and now have kernel panic ( you must restart your computer) what do I need to do?

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, 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 "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
