Macbook pro not starting(Seems like kernel panic)

Hi,
I am using a 2013 macbook pro 13(md 101) running os x mavericks. Last night i connected a wireless mouse(hp x3500) and it worked fine at that moment.
I did a normal shutdown. Next day when i tried starting the macbook, it didn't start at all, no screen, no message, in fact it seemed like the laptop is not powering up. Did a bit of googling and tried SMC bypass and it started the laptop and i managed to get this screen
Now i thought booting the mac in safe mode might work, so i did a force shutdown by long pressing the power button.
But now, when i am trying to boot the machine again with or without smc bypass, it's not working.
Not sure what's the real issue, any help is really appreciated.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?

  • I can't start up my 15in macbook pro due to a reoccurring kernel panic from insufficient RAM

    About a week ago my mac froze so I shut it off to restart it, and when it began start up the kernel panic showed up, since then I haven't been able to start it without get stuck on the kernel panic. I'm pretty sure its because of insufficient RAM space, which I've been meaning to clear for a while because I knew it was practically full but I kept forgetting. But now I don't know what to do because I can't get passed the kernel panic (I tried a safe boot as well). Also, I'm away from home for the next month or so, and the country I'm currently in does not have any apple stores so I can't take it to a genius bar. Is there anything I can do?

    I think you may be confusing RAM with disk space.
    One more time boot in Safe Mode. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes much longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on the Desktop then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If there's not enough free disk space, follow the instructions here > Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides

  • MacBook Pro Mid-2010 15" Frequent Kernel Panics

    Hello all,
    I have been experiencing frequent kernel panic shutdowns (2-3 a day) since upgrading to Yosemite. To compound matters, after each panic is an additional restart as my computer is already in the process of restarting, so I never get the crash log or option to send it, and I can't decipher the logs in Console to find them--if they exist.
    This is also happening to my daughter's identical model, and was happening after updating to 10.9.5 a while ago. I took my laptop to the Genius bar and they tried to tell me there was an issue with my video card (GPU) and that it would need replacing. I was doubtful about that diagnosis and opted not to repair (no time to give up my computer for the time needed anyway), and with my daughter's problem I seem to be vindicated. Prior to installing Yosemite I reinstalled 10.9.5 and was crash-free for a week before upgrading to Yosemite. Now the problem is getting worse, and reinstalling did not fix it.
    I am attaching my daughter's recent crash log with the same GPU incident that the Genius showed me.
    Any ideas or inspiration would be welcome.
    Thanks,
    Lou

    Thanks for your reply. But please try to understand why we (affected people) are not happy for this problem.
    Actually Apple store's staff also told me that is known "H/W" fault when i brought my macbook to run VST last week.
    Apple claimed this is H/W fault and suggested us to change logic board. The interesting thing is, this problem was existed from long time ago. Please check  this URL > MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video - Apple Support
    After read the page above, you should understand that version 10.8 or before also got this "H/W" problem but Apple tried to fix this for 10.8 or before.
    From 10.9, no more support for this problem. Until 10.10 released, you may search "GPUPanic 2010 mid macbook" from google and you will see how many people was affected by this problem.
    I also want to classify what is the definition of H/W fault. If apple can isolate the bug of the logic which was burnt on logic board (version 10.8 or before), then this is software fix for H/W fault.
    If Apple OS development team can just check our macbook version from OS and escape the "H/W" logic bug, all 2010 mid macbook will not be affected again.
    For real H/W fault, I don't think so many people will see same error at same period (after upgraded to 10.10) like this > ... AppleMuxControl/kext/GPUPanic.cpp:127
    The important point is, Apple provided OS update for us before 10.8, then we didnt know the actual graphic card's problem. 
    We trusted Apple and bought macbook. But Apple told us that our graphic card got "H/W" fault and no more support from 10.9.
    I like macbook and saved money to buy this in 2010. Using it carefully up to now. Finally Apple told me that my macbook's graphic card got problem and asked me to change(buy) logic board for fixing this problem.
    In Sep 2014, I'd just bought new macbook for my girl friend which is new model 2014 15" macbook pro. I told her macbook is very stable and have no problem. What a big joke to me......and to all affected people.

  • MacBook Pro 2011 Snow Leopard Constant Kernel Panics

    Before the Kernel Panics I was getting a lot of screen flickering and feezing. After my operating system Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was reinstalled and a new logic board put in I started getting Kernel Panics.

    There's usually a section that begins "loaded kexts." Maybe this log is formatted differently. Try disconnecting the Toshiba external USB hub. Have you installed any third party RAM? Even if not,  check the RAM by running a few loops of Rember.
    EDIT: Oh, OK I'm seeing loaded kexts: com.AmbrosiaSW.AudioSupport! 4.0
    Third party programs with kernel extensions can be a culprit. Try uninstalling that or seeing if there's an update.
    But you needn't completely uninstall a program(s) suspected of creating these panics. This may not always work, but the worst that can happen is it will fail. Far better than completely uninstalling and reinstalling the full program, if it proves not to be the cause. Instead, you can temporarily disable a program. This may be especially useful when there are several suspects.
    To temporarily disable/unload any .kext (kernel extension) which may be causing the problem, do the following: Open Terminal in Applications>Utilties and copy/paste
    sudo kextunload
    Important, leave a space after kextunload
    Next, navigate to the /System/Library/ and select Extensions. Inside that folder, find the related .kext in question, which you should drag into the Terminal window. (After dragging it in, the file will stay where it belongs in its original location.) This will automatically fill the Terminal window with the name and path to the file.
    This is an example only of what the full command will then look like; it will not necessarily be found on your computer.
    sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/PaceSupportFamily.kext/
    Hit return. If you have never used the sudo prefix before, you will get a warning, which you can disregard. Then enter your admin password, which you won't see on the screen as you type it in and hit return. Wait for the $ sign prompt to reappear, which will indicate the extension has been unloaded. Then just close the window.
    This will have the effect of disabling the program. If it fails to be the source of the problem, to reload/enable it, substitute kextload for kextunload, using the above procedure.
    Other than that, have a look at this article on resolving kernel panics. Kernel Panics may be caused either by software or hardware. Faulty RAM is a frequent cause.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting due to Kernel Panic. Ideas for how to fix?

    So my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro keeps randomly restarting, and giving me a screen that says something like "your computer restarted due to a problem."
    Looks like it as a kernel panic, but I have no idea what this is.  Seems to be no pattern for when it crashes.  Used to do it maybe once a month and now this is the 5th time in two days.
    Any idea what might be going on? Looked at past threads but nothing seemed to apply. 
    Here's the issue report:

    So my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro keeps randomly restarting, and giving me a screen that says something like "your computer restarted due to a problem."
    Looks like it as a kernel panic, but I have no idea what this is.  Seems to be no pattern for when it crashes.  Used to do it maybe once a month and now this is the 5th time in two days.
    Any idea what might be going on? Looked at past threads but nothing seemed to apply. 
    Here's the issue report:

  • 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2010 . Constant Kernel Panic and Reboot

    Hello, im having this issue from six months ago. The problem its a constant rebooting of my mac , when turned on shows a Kernel Panic inform that i copy here. I have contacted the tech support here in my country ( Argentina ) but they can not solve the problem. They told me than cand be a logic board issue, but in all the hardware test the macbook get an OK ! The only strange they discover is a electric problem in the usb ports, but i dont have any problems whith pen drives or usb external disks.
    The rebooting its unpredicible , but in some cases like using the spacebar for previewing files if i do it five or six times it reboots instantly showing then the Kernel Error.
    I really nedd help !
    Thank you, and sorry for the monkey insland English !

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • Macbook Pro Late 2013 Photoshop CC Kernel Panics

    I have a Macbook Pro 15" late 2013 / 2.3ghz / 16gb RAM / 500gb HD / OSX 10.9.1 /
    When using Photoshop CC 14.1.2 I get regular system crashes (the grey screen of death - which reboots your mac).
    Usually these crashes happen when i'm not even doing anything, like taking a phone call. I've had at least 3 in the last week.

  • 2007 Macbook Pro 17" - Motherboard is Dead (Kernel Panic)

    Hi guys,
    This is kind of frustrating as it seems like I now have to pay 5000 HKD to replace the entire motherboard after 2.5 years of usage.
    I turned on the MBP the other day and got really intense flickering on the monitor, followed by scrambled video. After turning off the computer and re-booting, I get the dreaded Kernel Panic.
    Investigation this issue leads me to an apple support notification that several 2007-2008 manufactured MBPs with an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT M video card may cause this problem and that Apple will fix this free of charge.
    No problem - I send this to my nearest Apple repair centre and they charge me 600 HKD to diagnose the problem, only to come back 2 days later and say that the MBP's motherboard needs to be replaced. After pleading with them that my MBP displayed classic signs of problems related to the GeForce 8600GT, they told me that it was the motherboard that was at fault.
    I then asked them to issue a diagnostic report, and it was basically a company slip with typing on it reading "kenral panic cause by logic board defective, need to replace" (sorry for bad English, I'm translating word-for-word what was typed on the note).
    Calling Apple directly and asking them about this issue resulted in them simply saying that if the repair centre believes its a motherboard failure, then I will have to pay the 5000 HKD to replace it.
    I was HOPING that a "diagnostic report" would be a computer generated log which will show officially where the problem lies - and not my repair technician randomly writing down on a slip what he believes the problem is.
    For those that have more knowledge of this, can anyone shed any light as to whether or not the video card could have made the motherboard defective? Or is this something that is not realistic?
    Sorry to sound cheap, I understand a lot of people may be in my position and will have to pay, but I would like to explore all options before I pay 5000 HKD to replace a motherboard on a computer that I purchased on March 2008.
    The only suggestion that Apple gave me was for me to take it to another appointed repair centre and get a second opinion. Of course, this will cost another 600 HKD just for them to look at.
    Am I being unreasonable for asking all these questions and bothering Apple so much?

    This is a user to user forum. All we can say is to bring a copy of the exchange/repair program documentation to the repair center and let them know that this has been covered free before.

  • Early '08 midel MacBook Pro not starting

    I have a late '07 - mid '08 model MacBook Pro. Last night I turned off my machine and this morning it would not start. I press the power button and I hear the Superdrive and fans start to work then it just clicks off, no image on the screen and no startup sound. The light on the front of the computer comes on and pulses about once or twice before it clicks off. I would like to know if this could be a hardware issue such as a bad RAM module, which is something I can fix myself, or if it is more likely something more serious. I live about 2 hours away from the nearest Apple Store so I would like to resolve the issue without having to make a long drive to Charlotte, NC if possible!

    newbie_mac_user,
    since your original post noted that your MacBook Pro had Mac OS X 10.6.8 installed, I’d concluded that your 13-inch Early 2011 model originally came with two grey installation DVDs in the box. Some Early 2011 models originally came with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) installed, and some originally came with Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) installed. If yours originally came with Snow Leopard, then it also originally came with the two grey installation DVDs. If yours originally came with Lion, then it originally came with no grey installation DVDs.
    If yours came with grey installation DVDs, then to boot your MacBook Pro from DVD, you’ll need to insert the one labelled “Mac OS X Install DVD” into its SuperDrive, and hold down the C key as your MacBook Pro starts up until the desktop appears. (It takes longer to boot from DVD than it does to boot from the internal hard disk.) Booting from the DVD does not affect the version of OS X which is installed on your internal hard disk.

  • MacBook Pro not starting up......

    Hi,
    My husband has recently bought a new MacBook Pro which was working fine until one day he went to turn it on and it does nothing but some up with a blue screen, the apple sign and then after a while a small circle with a line through it comes up (similar to a stop sign) and it does nothing else.
    Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? He hadn't done any installing or updates and said it was absolutely fine before it stopped working.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, and where possible, a clean install avoided!!!
    Many Thanks
    Sleepy

    it basically sounds like its just not recognizing the HD as the start up disk. can be a simple as some how the setting for it got messed up or as worse as the HD is corrupt.
    along with the other suggestions (if those dont work or you have issues) try to boot with another machine using that HD as its start drive (use target disk mode on that, start it while holding T) and if that doesnt work you can probably expect the HD has some issue but you can still possibly access the info on it while using it it target disk mode to at least copy off the info to save it. i am actually waiting for a friend to get me an external drive so i can do that for her, her machine isnt not booting but might as well not be and you cant boot of her drive but i can at least access it

  • Macbook pro not starting up. fans spin only for a second.

    Hello.
    Okay so my MacBook Pro won't start up. When I press the power button I hear a weird sound like something trying to move but not being able to and after a second when its shutting down I hear it again. I've taken hdd and dvd rom out and the weird sound still comes. I removed both ram modules and the computer starts beebing the error sound. I tried srarting with only 1 ram module and nothing. The fans spin for a brief second and then stops. If I hold down the power button it stays on until the sleep light start to blink and then shuts down again while making the weird sound. I tried removing the battery also.
    Any ideas?

    Nice botch job there Dr. Zoidberg.
    If you would have taken it into Apple for a free evaluation, it might have been a simple fix.
    Since you have basically ruined your machine, costing more to repair than it's present value, you should just connect the internal drive to a new Mac using a SATA to USB adpater cable and use Migration/Setup Assistant or manually transfer files and trash the old one.
    You also could get a Windows PC tower, where you have the option to do your own surgery as it's modular designed for that purpose.
    Just install MacDrive into Windows and ues the SATA to USB adpater to access your files on the Mac formatted drive.
    Good Luck

  • Macbook Pro not starting without Holding Power Button

    Hello,
    my Macbook Pro (bought March 2008) seems to be dead.
    When the power button is pressed (and ONLY IF HELD.. cause if I just push it once it powers up and turns off instantly) it starts and does 2 seconds of normal boot (DVD drive check, HD starts to spin along with the fans) then the power just cuts out and you hear the HD off sound. The LED on the front at this moment keeps flashing and then all goes off.
    I tried doing a SMC reset and even a PRAM reset already, but no luck. I've read to try an Hardware Test with the Install DvD so I've inserted it but the MacbookPro powers off before even starting it (The Screen never starts )
    What should I do?
    Thanks for your help :-S

    I already tried with the Battery in and without but no luck. I'm sure it's not that kind of problem unfortunally

  • Why does my macbook pro not start up?

    Today I changed ram on my old macbook pro. 667hz DDR2 type from 2X1 TO 2X2.
    After i finished the installation my laptop has not worked properly. It currently runs 10.7.
    No startup sound, and the white light at the bottom flashes constantly in sequenses of three. Three quick flashes.
    What is wrong? Even when I re-inserted my old RAM the same problem occurred.
    Please help!

    MacBook Pro 3,1  15' 2,2 Core 2 Duo Late 2007.
    I used the same buss speed (667 mhz) and the same type DDR2. Same number of pins.
    I also checked what happened with 0 ram in slots, and then it started blinking constantly.
    So it must see the RAM but the RAM seems useless for some reason...

  • Late 2008 unibody MacBook Pro + 6GB RAM + Snow Leopard = Kernel Panic

    Hi,
    I've been trying to install Snow Leopard on my 2.8Ghz MacbookPro unibody (late 2008) with 6GB of RAM (4GB+2GB module).
    At first, I did an upgrade of my existing Leopard drive, and when booting back in 10.6, everything was crashing (could not open a single web browser but Safari, for instance), and I was getting kernel panics each 10 minutes.
    Then, I erased my boot disk and tried a clean install - I was getting kernel panics when installing! After 5 tries, it finally installed, and then I couldn't get through the welcome wizard the first time it boots.
    So I removed the 4GB RAM module, and re-installed a 2GB one, and then everything was fine, not a single problem.
    Take into consideration that that 4GB ram module was working perfectly under 10.5.8 (even while using the computer under a lot of stress) and passed all the hardware test.
    Has anyone been successful at running Snow Leopard 10.6 on a late 2008 Macbook Pro unibody and 6GB of RAM?

    Wow, this is really interesting! I own a UniBody MacBook Aluminum 13" 2.4 GHz 5,1 (October 2008) and ordered a 4 GB RAM module from OWC to max out my system to 6 GB for virtual machine use. I'd just performed a clean install of Snow Leopard a couple of days ago and was excited about the new operating system along with that additional RAM. But guess what? When I inserted the new 4 GB stick I suffered a kernel panic within minutes! I tried moving the module around between the two slots and inserting it on its own without the additional 2 GB module and the same lockups occured every time!
    Who ever would have thought this might be a problem with the new operating system rather than an incompatibility with the new module? OWC even agreed to refund my purchase but before I send the stick back I'll go ahead and install the original Leopard operating system and try again. Based on your experience I'm convinced the new stick will work and prefer more RAM than a newer operating system. Thanks to all of you for having posted this; I'd have never suspected an issue with Snow Leopard otherwise. In fact, I was hoping to be able to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM with 10.6. Turns out we may be better off with 10.5.8, at least for now!
