MacBook Pro will not boot up. Hardware test found no problems.
MacBook Pro will not boot up. Hardware test found no problems.
Sorry. What I mean is I selected the SL boot up in the start up panel and it would not boot into the cd. The CD rom sounds like it just keeps reading with it slowly loading from grey screen to blue screen to the Block screen. Almost like it is booting into normal mode from the hard drive.
What I can't understand is why it runs fine is Safe mode?
Also why do I get a " this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" message on my hard drive when trying to install Lion in safe mode? Well why not it's the only hard drive in the computer?
The first screen shot is the Tech tool showing everything passed the hardware test is safe mode. -
MAcBook Pro (2010) i7 17" Strange problem (filesystem crash)
About month ago I changed my 1 year old MBP 2009 to MacBook Pro 2010 17" i7 one. I moved SSD (Patriot KOI 256GB) and 8GB of RAM to new device. I have noticed strange problem - sometimes filesystem crashes. When application ask to reboot system (because of reboot or instalation) sometimes system refuse to start - it shows progress bar similar to the one shown when going back from deep sleep. Or I can hear bell (standard one) but after this system powers off. The only way to have system working back is to use Disc Warrior to repair it because Disk Utility from install DVD can't repair filesystem and suggest to reinstall it and take data from backup.
I have no such problems with previous device. It happens even on fresh system for example just after installing Norton Internet Security (when installer asked for permission to reboot). I have no sudden hangs, no other problems at all.
Any suggestions?
During month it happens about 10 times. I even prepared my rescue USB with installed system and Disk Warrior.
Hardware test goes without problems. SMART status of drive is ok.You can ignore the advice of nearly all the long-time contributors to these Discussions and keep Norton utilities on your Mac, but I guarantee that every time you mention Norton anything in these forums, you will be advised to remove it completely. Perhaps it isn't responsible for your present problem, but I'm certainly not convinced of that, and because Norton software is a well-known cause of trouble in OS X, I suspect many other people reading this thread won't be convinced either.
When you reinstalled the OS on your new machine, did you do so from the DVDs that came with it? Did you completely erase the hard drive? -
Macbook Pro 13 (Early 2011) Charging Problems
Recently I noticed that when I charge my macbook pro, the LED light on the magsafe would go green then orange to show that it is charging. However after a few minutes or seconds the orange LED light will go off (Stops Charging) and the whole process of charging starts again, green light then orange then nothing...
I already tried resetting the PRAM and SMU. I also tried using different wall sockets for charging and it yielded the same results. However, when i borrowed my friends mac charger, my MBP manage to charge without any problems. When he used my charger the charging problem also occurred.
So i decided to bring it to an Apple Authorized service provider sine they are no Apple Retail Stores in Thailand. I told the guy at the AASP that my charger was probably broken/faulty, but he said it was the receiver sensor of the macbook pro (The place where i connect the magsafe to my MBP ). He used a different charger (At the counter)and the LED lights when from Green, Orange then yellow and said the MBP needed to be sent to Singapore to be repaired and it would take 10 - 14 days. I said OK since my MBP was still in warranty and it would be free. Next day he called and said he fixed it by resetting something and that I could pick it up. At the AASP, the macbook pro didnt show any charging problems so i brought it home to charge.
Now it has the same charging problem as before...Do you have another power adapter to try? If so, can you use the power adapter that came with this mac?
Do you have another MBP? If so can you use this power adapter on that MBP?
Are you using another pointing device or is it the one built right into the laptop? If you are using another pointing device try purchasing a new one or disconnecting or reconnecting or even try on another computer.
You might be only able to get buy for the next few month until you graduate until you can get your computer fixed. If all else fails go buy yourself a $8 mouse from a place, it will work until you can get this fixed... or buy apple mice if that is a big deal to you.
Here is one for only 3.18! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gear+Head-Computer+-+OM3800U+Mouse/3933383.p?id=1218 443155891&skuId=3933383
Or if you want the one I have used: (M515 @ home or HP Wired Mouse-- Its kind of old) This isn't the exact one but they discontinued that one: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/mouse-m100 so for $10 you get a mouse and your computer works. -
Can anyone tell me why I can not connect my Blackberry or my iPhone to my new Macbook pro? I had no problem with my old Macbook.
What type of headphones were you using? I have a set of Microssft headsets, with the built-in mic and connected via USB, and have no problems.

How can I get a better driver for my 1394b Hostcontroller in my Macbook pro 2010 to solve the problem, that it is too slow under Windows 7 installed with bootcamp ?
WIndows can't find a better one than the installed LSI Conformed 1394 HostcontrollerRead and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved. -
My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.atleast 2 to 3 times pressing power button for longer time starts it up and afterwards still there will be no sound. Please help
This morning i was not able to hear sound on my recently purchased macbookpro retina 15 inch model.My attempts to resolve this issue by going to system preferences and removing the mute box that was ticked as active. i had downloaded much earlier a mac version of logmein app and noticed that in the sound box noted above that there was a bar indicating that the default was now to logmein. i had never used this app. Why it started today, i have no idea. I moved the logmein application to trash and deleted the app , however it did not remove the default option which still blocked the sound.
Going to a macforum gave the tha anser that to remove the logmein app, it first had to be reinstalled a nd them use the uninstaller option ftrom the dropdown menu. for now that has resolved the failure to allow sound oputput. -

I upgraded to Lion and then all video clips on for instance Youtube freeze every tenth second to buffer more data. I have a MacBook Pro and never had any problems when using Snow Leopard. Has Lion problems with this?
Ulf, SwedenUse the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Tool Tech Video ram says failed ....hardware test shows fan problems...
Tool Tech Video ram says failed ....hardware test shows fan problems...in reference to error 4MOT/1/0000003:HDD
Anyone else experience this...and how is the fan a problems via hardware test but tool tech shows video ram failed?
Any feedback is appreciated.Computer only 6 weeks old.......:-(My computer listed as having failed the VRAM test as well, but when I installed the Tech Tool software, it gave me the warning that the results of the test were not yet reliable for 10.5 and it might not test correctly. I've had none of the problems the the VRAM failure listed, and assume it's just an issue with the new OS and Tech Tool not being on the same page yet. PS: I love my Mac...but don't we all?

Macbook Pro Retina 15" 2012, Mountain Lion OS pre-installed.
Case 1:
It connects to WiFi home network and internet fine.
Put the machine to sleep.
Upon waking up, it can scan for my home network that it used to connect to, but either not able to connect, or even after it connects, it just can't let me access internet.
Restarting the machine can revive by getting it connects properly to internet.
Toggling the Bluetooth won't help here.
Case 2:
It connects to network using USB ethernet adapter.
Same case, everything works fine before sleep. After sleeping for some time, it's not able to connect to the internet any more unless I do a restart.
It's able to access local area network though, as I'm able to see some local network machines in my Finder window. Yes, I clicked on them and able to connect to their share folders. But just can't get through internet.
OS Problem? I'm not able to roll back to other OS, I swear I don't want to go through that painful process.
Hardware problem : WiFi card? Don't think so, because I can't get to internet even I immediately switch to USB ethernet adapter.
Hardware problem : USB ethernet? It works fine in other non-Mac machines.
There got to be something wrong in somewhere that it doesn't re-establish the connection to the internet, no matter what I do.
None of the functions in the network utility tool can help.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, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually 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. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Macbook pro to sony bravia color problems
I am trying to hook up my macbook pro to my sony bravia tv. i have it hooked up through the pc input and i get a picture but the colors are all messed up. i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix the colors. i have tried the color utility on my laptop and the color settings on the tv itself and the colors are horrible. if anyone had any insight i'd appreciate it. thanks.
I completely get what you're saying with the different connectors but there is something very wrong. Don't get me wrong the picture's quality is acceptable; I mean it has smooth lines and, easy to read - etc. but the color is flat out wrong.
I know the TV can out put colors correctly, because last night I connected a Sony SR11 camcorder to the component input and all was good. I've only tested the Component and PC Input but the problem is definitely on the PC Input.
I do Graphic Design & Video Work for a living so I'm familiar when you talk about calibration, but this problem goes beyond calibration as I've been in and out of the OS and Sony's menus for calibrating and nothing seems to aid in the problem.
It seems some have this problem while others don't and what I'd like to know is if this related to a certain model # and version # of the Bravias or if its a video chipset issue. For people having problems like me --> raelle123 what graphics card you running? Also AldousH what graphics card are you using?
I know more than likely the simple fix is an HDMI cable and a DVI to HDMI converter but it really bugs me that I spent the money and the PC Input isn't working the way it should.
I plan on speaking with Sony today and trouble shoot with them. I'll also try taking video and putting that up today as well.
Thanks. -
Hi,
I am having an issue at the moment with my MacBook Pro updating anything! Here is a list of the problems I'm getting.
- App store is not loading correctly and cannot navigate or select updates for my programs/apps installed on my computer (see photo).
- iTunes store will not load correctly in the window, same issues as App store.
- iTunes gives errors to both the iPad and iPhone when trying to update them to iOS 4.3.5 saying it could not contact iPhone Software update server.
- A download of an album on iTunes resulted in only 3 of 13 songs being able to be downloaded, the rest had "The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs." errors 8007 and 12004.
- The most recent OSX software will not download with the following error, "The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs." I have tried this on at least 4-5 separate occasions over 3 days with the exact same errors. Same error for minor update to iWeb although updates to iDVD and Remote desktop updated successfully.
iTunes software will not update giving similar errors. It goes on and all seems to be server related.
Where do I start? This is crazy and I really want to upgrade to lion but can't connect do anything.
Thank You.Ok seem to have cracked it. Seems to be a DNS setting. There were no obvious differences between Ethernet and Wireless in the settings as you suggested I check.
I recalled having changed from one network location to a copied location at one stage to correct something on a previous network. So I switched over and gave the old, unchanged one a test. Under the original location iTunes, App store and Facebook (which was performing badly too) worked sweet. Changed back to the location I was using and they ground to a halt again.
When I compared the two locations against each other I discovered the only differences were in the DNS tab. There were two others that were being used in the problem location setting, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. So yeah. I assume that was causing issues for certain websites/web based programs.
Thanks for your help. Turns out it was a minor setting on the computer. -
MacBook Pro late 2008 hard drive problems
I've got a 2.4Ghz 15" MacBook Pro (model MB470LL/A). I've been having so many problems with upgrading the hard drive that I'm at my wits end. First, I swapped out the stock 250gb hd for a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500gb. Only later did I find out a lot of people are having problems with it. My problem was slightly different...it would work fine for random periods of time, sometimes hours. Then the system would seemingly freeze (even iTunes stopped playing and the menu bar clock stopped running), then after maybe 15 seconds or so, it'd start up again. This started driving me nuts when it became more frequent. I tried all the different fixes from various message boards, to no avail. I even tried reinstalling OS X. No change.
So I threw that in an external enclosure (where it's been working fine since) and bought a Samsung Spinpoint M7E HM501II instead. The system seemed to crash more often, so I ran a disk scan (Drive Genius 3) on it. The scan kept either choking at a certain point and/or kicked up bad block errors like crazy. HOWEVER, when I put the Samsung in an external enclosure and ran the disk scan again, it finished without an error. I can replicate this at will.
I took it in to the local Genius Bar, where they ran more tests and determined it was a bad drive. I RMA'd it and got a new one. Same problem with the scans. And again, it runs and scans perfectly fine in the external enclosure.
So now I'm at a loss. I don't want to keep wasting money buying different branded hard drives. Is there some strange problem with my MacBook Pro? I'm thinking there some sort of weird problem with the drive controller or something, and I tried to get the Genius Bar to test that. They claimed they did and found no problem. Do I live with my 250gb drive (I'm only looking to get a bigger drive, not something faster. I need the battery life) or is there anything else I can do?Lately there have been quite a few debates on the hard replacement issues with MBP's and from what I have seen they mostly are around the power consumption of the drives being not compatible..
So it's been many days now I'm recommending people this drive :
http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-2-5-Inch-Internal-WD5000BEKT/dp/B003TOE4PQ
It's one of the least power hungry drives on the market and is one of the highest performers as well.
It's 7200 rpm and a whopping 500GB for 70-80 dollars is quite interesting .
if you buy the drive and hesitate to replace don't worry it's a 5 minute super easy task and you will find plenty of help if you report back here
I hope I could be of help
