Macbook Pro, Can't boot after EFI update....

Updated the EFI this morning- Prior to that update, everything was working fine. After the update, I have the flashing question mark folder of doom. Can't use internet recovery even while plugged into ethernet. What happened? Everything was going so well Apple! I'm on Lion, latest updates, 2011 MBP 2.2 i7, SSD 120g with a 750g running beside it (data doubler).

Okay, so the disk is supposed to show up as disk0s2.
Remember how I'm unable to unmount the drive? I force unmounted it and then used Disk Utility to repair the volume, but still no luck.
I think the key to the problem is this new HD I put in runs at 3 Gbps. I think I read somewhere that the new MacBook Pro's don't support that.
I think next I'm going to try swapping out the new HD in my MacBook Pro with the one it originally came with.

macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

MacBook Pro will not boot after software update

MacBook Pro will not boot after doing an Apple Software Update (of course they will not help you). MONEY, MONEY, MONEY is the name of the game. They can cause your computer to crash and still charge you!
Does anyone have an answer to why my computer is showing a little gear spinning for hours? I have tried several things with NO luck.
Thanks-

MacBook Pro Won't Boot after Firmware Update

So I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro which came in the mail yesterday. I removed the Apple-installed HD and swapped it out for a bigger, faster HD. I installed OS X from scratch, imported everything from my Time Machine backup during the Setup Assistant, and then started installing updates. Everything was running swimmingly until the last updates.
What happened is when I rebooted my MacBook Pro and logged in after a series of updates, I got presented with both a Bluetooth update and a Firmware update at the same time. Both required a restart so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone. I installed the Bluetooth update, and then when it asked to reset I installed the Firmware update instead. However, the firmware update didn't behave as advertised because instead of shutting the MacBook Pro completely down, it restarted and then started installing the firmware update.
Ever since the firmware update (which I think installed correctly but don't know how to verify), I cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Using the OS X install DVD I can view my firmware version using System Profiler, and the number it is reporting is MBP53.00A.B03.
I have tried booting in verbose mode to try and get a feel for the problem, and it eventually hangs on an infinite loop saying something about not being able to find something on disk0s2.
I also thought I would fix the problem by doing an Archive and Install, but it quit at the very beginning of installing with the error "unknown error".
Also I thought I would format the disk with Disk Utility and then try installing again, but Disk Utility reports that it in unable to unmount the volume.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I, too, have a brand new MBP 15" that I put an Intel X25 in. At the 1.5 (Prior to Firmware Update) setting, it worked fine. I rant the Firmware Update, all looked fine, but the drive is no longer able to be seen.
Flash the PRAM, per other suggestions to no avail. Boot off of the DVD and disk utility nor Profiler sees the drive.
Replace the drive with the stock that came with the MBP (which I had never even used) and it works.
Put the Intel X25 into a Windows machine and it works fine. Reformatted it (in windows) and put it back into my MBP. Still not able to see it (from the Disk utility after booting off the DVD).
Intel's firmware for the drive says its up-to-date (new drive) and if I attempt to "re-run" the Mac Firmware Update, it says that the machine is already up-to-date.
Seems odd that it worked before an now it doesn't. Also seems odd that the X25 works in other machines. And that my MBP works just fine with the stock Hitachi 7200 320GB drive.
Ideas? Intel says to call Apple Support. Not sure what I can say to them.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro can't boot after Yosemite install

After installing Yosemite on this late 2011 MacBook Pro it stops about a third of the way into booting up. It displays a null sign. I can boot into recovery disk, or external HD (I don't have a backup of this system, but can boot from my MacBook Air's clone) if I use option-R or just option at startup. It won't go into Safe Mode. From the ext HD I have reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP, but it still freezes mid-boot. Disk Utility repair permissions, repair HD, zap PRAM, SMC, I've tried all of these (from reading advice here, and PM from Ogelthorpe). I have copied the Etre Report below. Suggestions?

Drive Partition and Format
1. 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.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. Quit DU when it is finished and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Macbook pro doesn't work after EFI update.

My new macbook pro doesn't work. I bought it yesterday and after I've installed EFI update (it installed without any errors) my mac
"starts" with blank screen, no chime sound, with fans on (I guess - it's full speed). I've already tried those tricks with command+option+p+r and it neither work nor bring my mac to "life". Any ideas what this issue could be?

I've got the same problem but with QT player (not PRO version)
I've installed the 7.1.2 update for quicktime and the audio and videos files on the net doesn't start I've got a "?" then I go to the quicktime prefs and I see that the entire QT plugins disapear
Besides the audio files and the video files on my HD work
so ,is someone can help me for finding the whole QT plugins ?
If it was impossible ,I suggest you to make a 7.0.4 reinstaller for 7.1.2 for Quicktime

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear.

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear. Computer won't even start in safe mode.

My daughter's MacBook Pro was doing exactly the same thing. I don't know if it had anything to do with the latest update. She called me about a week ago saying that her MacBook began running slower by the day . She then called me Friday and told me that it wouldn't get past the gray screen and the gear just kept on spinning. I did everything I could over the phone including Safe mode which it wouldn't go into and thought maybe it was the hard drive. She took it to the Apple store. Originally, they also thought it was the hard drive. It ended up being a corrupted operating system (Lion). Apple genius simply re-installed Lion and she's back up and running. Good thing she backed up right before it crapped out. She'll be restoring everything tonight. Don't know if re-installing Lion will help your situation, but it did the trick for my daughter.

MacBook Pro won't boot after 10.6.8 update.

I completely erased my hard drive, reinstalled Snow Leopard and updated to 10.6.7. I then performed an Apple Hardware Test and verified the disk using disk utility. Both tests were successful. I then updated to 10.6.8 using the combo update and restarted my MacBook Pro. The boot process ran fine until the system locked up on the bright blue screen. No peripherals were connected to the laptop during this process. I powered the laptop down using the power button and turned it on again. This time, I entered verbose mode. The last line of text that I see before the screen turns black is "[ PCI configuration begin ]". Can anyone assist me with this issue?

Might be time to replace the PRAM battery. That's not the normally accessible battery, but it is one that often fails after 4 years.

Macbook pro won't boot after update to 10.6.8

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I bought an used macbook pro (15 inch early 2008). When looking at it, it was in good shape and the previous owner just did a fresh install of snow leopard. I took it home and whas happy with it. In the first two hours of using it, everything was fine. After installing the update to 10.6.8 my macbook needed to be shut down.. After shutting down it started up again but the screen stayed black. I had no idea why. So I rebooted it by pressing the power button. The same problem remained, it seemed to start up (I could hear the harddrive and fan) but it didn't boot into Mac Os. After a couple of attempts, it now shutsdown immediatly after pressing the powerbutton (3 seconds after). No chime or nothing.
At first I thought this would only be a software problem, because the problem started immediatly after updating. So I put in my snow leopard dvd to boot into that, but I can't even get it to boot into the install dvd. Because it shuts down immediatly after pressing the power button. Then I started suspecting an hardware failure, which would be a very big coincidence to show up immediatly after booting up. These are the things I have tried so far, to no avail:
- Plugging of the power cord and removing the battery, then pressing and holding the powerbutton for at least 5 sec
- Holding the option, command, P and R keys during boot.
- Replacing the memory
- Replacing the hard drive
- Unplugging the super drive
- Starting up holding the d key
At a certain point I was hoping that It would be an harddrive or memory problem. I replaced both with examples I know for sure they are working. But still the same problem; macbook shuts down almostimmedialty after pressing the power button.
There is no warrany anymore, and technical support would cost me 49 euros per incident.. to probably hear that the macbook is beyond repair. I feel i have just thrown away 300 euro's for an nightmare experience. Does anybody now anything to try, i'm really desperate here

After installing the update to 10.6.8
What update was that?
So I put in my snow leopard dvd to boot into that, but I can't even get it to boot into the install dvd.
Did the previous owner also give you the discs that originally came with the computer? Those are what you need to troubleshoot with. You also need disc 1 to run the Apple Hardware Test.
There is no warrany anymore, and technical support would cost me 49 euros per incident..
Apple Store and AASP diagnostic testings are free. Suggest that you take full advantage of it. This way you can find out exactly what is wrong with your computer. Post back here with the diagnosis and someone will post DIY repair sites.

Macbook Pro won't boot after update

I have a macbook pro3,1 (early 2008) that I received from someone else. When I received it, it had os x 10.8.3 installed. Initially I tried to update it to maverick, but after it rebooted it would not boot, just continued to reboot over and over. I then was able to boot into restore mode and do a repair on the disk. After that I was able to boot into 10.8.3.
I decided to update to 10.8.5, and received the same results as before. This time I was unable to restore with a disk repair.
I also created a bootable usb with Mavericks on it. Again, it will not boot to allow an install.
I was able to boot into safe mode, but that did not fix the installation. I tried repartitioning the hard drive and install mavericks on the new partition, but that failed also.
After looking at the logs, I see that there is a kernel panic that happens. Everytime I boot normally, it seems to get just before the login screen before it reboots. Below is the log.

I received the macbook from someone else without installation disks. Also, when try to do a re-install of 10.8.3 from the internet in restore mode, it tells me that the account does not match the one the purchase was made from. I would rather not run 10.8.3 anyway if I could install mavericks.
Below is the system information for the macbook
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro3,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          4 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          800 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          MBP31.0070.B07
SMC Version (system):          1.16f11
Serial Number (system):          W87422HUYAM
Hardware UUID:          00000000-0000-1000-8000-001B63A5B553
I have tried to reset nvram as well as smc with no result.
I have also done a extended apple hardware test which found no errors.
The macbook does have a bad battery, so I have tried booting without the battery. The results did not change.
I have searched the internet for the kernel panic error and can not find a consistent issue for macbook pros. Some say it is a hardware problem. Others say it is an install problem. What does not make sense to me is if it is hardware problem, why was I able to restore it back once and get it to boot consistently. It seems to be directly the result of updating the software.
I also read that 10.8.5 consistently had boot problems upon install, so I tried re-installing the combo update for 10.8.5
I feel like I have exhausted almost all the resources except taking it to the genius bar.
Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks,

bereanmh,
since your MacBook Pro didn’t originally have Mountain Lion installed at the factory, the former owner erred in leaving it on its internal disk when transferring it to you; Mountain Lion is non-transferable when sourced from the Mac App Store. The former owner should rather have provided you with its original pair of grey installation discs, which hold its original version of Mac OS X, its iLife apps, and its model-specific Apple Hardware Test. If you didn’t receive these discs, you can contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair. (They’re not available in Apple stores.)
That being stated, regarding the panic report above, the prime suspect is that NullCPUPowerManagement kernel extension — try uninstalling it to see if that makes a difference.

Early 2008 MacBook Pro won't boot after Lion 10.7.1 update

My 2.4 GHz 4GB RAM Early 2008 MacBook Pro wont boot after downloaded the Lion 10.7.1 upate. Upon restarting the screen went dead and now the system does not boot, as if the bootloader has been wiped out. Screen appears dead but was known to be working before hand. The hard drive spins up but doesn't sound like it is searching for data.
Can anyone help me?

Okay, I tried everything I can think of last night. I removed every startup process and every tool or programm that goes deeper into the system (GlimmerBlocker, LittleSnitch, Parallels). Cleaned Up every Cache I could find and refreshed every necessary Cache or Database possible. Took me a couple of hours. But still no luck - the machine doesn't boot, just in safe mode. Right now I copy all my personal stuff to a new external harddrive because TimeMachine doesn't work, after this I will do a clean install of Lion.
It's not hardware related, it's the 10.7.1 update that doesn't work properly. By the way, the only errors remaining are:
WindowServer - kCGErrorFailure
ManagedClient - kCGErrorFailure: CGSPackageGetWorkspaceType: couldn't get workspace type
SecurityAgent - kCGErrorFailure: CGSPackageGetWorkspaceType: couldn't get workspace type
and a lot of:
com.Apple.SecurityAgent.00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000186A7: CoreAnimation: rendering error 506
that's also the last one I get before the system hangs…

Macbook pro won't boot after updating to 10.9.3

I ran the update to 10.9.3 yesterday. After reboot the Mail program gave me an error that it might not be compatible with the OS. I restarted, now I get the a progress bar. It goes for about 30 seconds then powers the macbook down.
Here's what I've tried.
1. Booting into recovery mode (both Internet recovery and regular recovery)
2. I cant repair permissions or repair the disk. It says that it needs to be reloaded, etc
3. I tried a reinstall. I'm getting a disk locked error on the Macintosh HD and recovery HD.
4. Can't boot into safe boot. I get a driver error and Mac OS Version: not set yet.
5. I tried Turning off Encryption. It won't turn off.
6. When I choose the startup disk to boot to, it still shows 10.9.2, even though the app store showed that 10.9.3 was installed.
Pretty much combed the forums, but I'm not really sure what to do at this point. The machine is out of warranty and I don't have another Mac to do any cloning, usb startup disks, etc. I made an appointment with the genius bar tomorrow but I wanted to see if there's something else I can try! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Dan

Do you have a Time Machine backup? If so, erase the disk and reinstall OS X. HOWEVER, DO NOT CONTINUE UNLESS YOU HAVE A TIME MACHINE BACKUP!!! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP AND STILL DECIDE TO CONTINUE, BE AWARE THAT ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST FOREVER!!!
Erase and Reinstall OS X
Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Recovery HD partition to boot up in the Recovery HD partition.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
I hope I helped.

After installation of Mac OS 10.10.3, my MacBook Pro can't boot anymore.

I have MacBook Pro late 2013 with Mavericks 10.10.2. This morning after installation update, my MBP rebooted itself and can't find the installed OS.
MBP late 2013, 2,6 GHz i5 processor with 512 gb flash, OS X 10.10.2. System disk had two partitions.

SOLUTION FOR ME:
I used OS X internet recovery system to install OS X. It seems to be installed correctly and none of my files, apps and settings are missing.

Macbook Pro fails to boot after any OS update.

Hi, I've been a PC user all my life so please be patient!
I have a mid 2010 MBP running 10.6.3 with Win7 on a boot camp partition. I have read and followed the instructions regarding boot issues from many sources on these forums but nothing so far has solved my problem.
I can install anything via software update as long as it isnt an OS update. Any OS update installs fine but the MBP will not reboot afterwards; I get an endless spinner. I cant boot into safe mode either, endless spinner again after the progress bar dissappears.
I have verified and repaired the disk in single user mode and via the disk utilities tool after booting into the install DVD, I have repaired permissions I have tried just about every instruction I could find, I have read posts where people are talking about replacing ACPIPPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext but I'm not sure this applies to me as they seem to be saying to lift those files from 10.6.6 / 10.6.7 and I cant event get to 10.6.4.
Just to be clear, I cannot update to anything above 10.6.3. I have tried combo and single updates for every patch version from 10.6.4 up to 10.6.8 and the MBP will not reboot after any of the OS updates. The only way I can get the machine to boot again is to wipe the Mac partition and re-install 10.6.3. So, am I doomed to be stuck on 10.6.3 forever?
To add insult to injury, of course Windows 7 works perfectly
I have no obvious HD issues, once I reinstall 10.6.3 everything works perfectly.
It did cross my mind that the only thing I haven't tried is to strip the win partition off completely and put the MBP back to pure mac and see if the updates work then but thats a lot of hassle (its a dev machine) so I thought I'd ask if any of you fine people might be able to help me out before I go for the nuclear option.
Thanks.

Put a bootable backup/clone of your 10.6.3 volume onto an ext FWHD using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, boot from it, and try updating to 10.l6.8. If that works, then finish updating everything, and reverse the process. If not, then, try the nuclear option. I don't do windoze, so you'll have to figure out to back that stuff up before proceeding.

After recovering OS X, macbook pro can't boot past my user account

My Macbook Pro suddenly started running extremely slow. Ran disk utility a few times but didn't seem to help. I reinstalled OS X from the recover partition and that seem to work OK (took about an hour and a half). The problem is that the system can't seem to boot through the my user account. If have restarted a few times and it seems to stop at the same point (about 1/2 way through he progress bar). I re-ran disk utility using command R and it reported the disk was OK, but no change in the results.
Anybody have some suggestions?

Try running Apple Hardware Test
Using Apple Hardware Test
The disk utility only checks file structure, not disk integrity.
When you go to Dis Utility is Verified listed under S.M.A.R.T. status?
If you formatted the disk and reinstalled the OS that indicates a hardware problem. Maybe disk and may something else.
