My macbook pro will only boot in safe mode
Hey,
I have a macbook pro 15-inch, Early 2011 running osx 10.9.4. I have a SSD hard drive that i installed myself a year ago and hasn't shown any defects. Its a 120 gb OCZ-AGILITY3.
My problem:
My macbook will only boot in safe mode nowadays. I have done a complete erasion of my hard drive and installed osx mavericks twice already. After the installation the computer will safely go to the desktop. But if i then do a reboot it won't get further than after the first apple logo, sometime the turning wheel will pop up, before turning off and trying again. i have tried resetting PRAM, I have tried resetting SMC, i have tried avoiding SMC (with big fan rate), but all with no success.
I have done a complete hardware test (the longer one) and it showed "no troubles found".
My guess is that the problem is with the battery. My computer won't run anymore without the adapter, when i pull the adapter out it either stays on for a while before just turning off. Without having it plugged in it won't start. Is it possible that during normal start up there is some kind of communication with the battery that can cause this?
I ran a diagnostic shown in this thread (Will only boot in safe mode) and included it in this post.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks,
Bram

Hi all,
My MacBook pro was running fine then it went very slow, I got the spinning world but it would not do anything. I tried to restart but it had frozen, so I turned off the computer by the power buttton. Now it won't boot up, it justmfreezes with a blue screen in safe mode. I have tried booting isank blue user mod and running /sbin/fsck -fy and a couple of other suggestions from various discussion boards but nothing works. I just tried booting up in windows and it works fine, with access to the mackintosh HD.
Any ideas on how to fix the mac side??
Thanks in advance!Sorry rubbish predictive text.i meant to say I tried booting in single user and running /sbin/fsck -fy

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode <shift CMD V> the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this? Thanks Eamonn
Thanks for these suggestions: I have tried safe mode re-starts (both "verbose" and simple "shift" + power) to no avail. I get the error message "disk0s2: media is not present". Following this I inserted the installation disc and from there ran disc utility. The "Verify Disk" indicated an error " invalid sibling link" which it could not repair.
I also tried to completely re-format/erase the disk, but again got an error message "disk object invalid or unable to serialize".
Any ideas of what could be causing this or the best solution? I fear I am fast running out of options. -
MacBook Pro 13" Only boots to safe mode and running VERY slow.
Hi...
Not posted on here before, but am desperate so hoping there are some experts out there who can help...
I have 13" Macbook pro which has ceased to work properly - it runs very slowly and will only boot in safe mode.
I have installed a new hard disk, but I get the same problem whether I (try to) boot from the old HHD or the new one.
The new drive was imaged using Carbon Copy Cloner.
I have run the repair disk priorities in disk utility and verifying the disk says all OK.
I have set the startup disk to be the new hard disk, and cleared the NVRAM via cmd-option-p-r...
As things stand at the moment, rebooting (not in safe mode) leaves me with the grey screen and apple logo (and no obvious activity for 10+ mins (so far)).
Booting in safe mode takes 3+ mins but I do get to a user login prompt and can get to a desktop.
Any ideas / help very much appreciated as I urgently need to get this machine working!
Thanks!Domonic White,
when you ran Disk Utility, did you do so from your user account, or from Recovery mode? There are four options there: Verify Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions, Verify Disk, and Repair Disk. Which of these did you do in Disk Utility?
Have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?
Have you tried logging in as your administrative user, opening the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, creating a new standard user (e.g. “Test”), and trying to log in as the new user, to see if the slow performance affects the new user also?
There is a chance that this could be due to a faulty internal SATA cable. If you have an external disk enclosure, or a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter, try booting from one of your drives when it’s externally connected. If it works fine that way, but is sluggish when internal, that could point to your internal SATA cable as the culprit. -
My macbook will only start in safe mode.
I think my Mac is dying. It got really slow and started showing the beach ball, then it would just freeze up. I would have to restart it. For a while, it would restart just fine, then it would take forever and show me the gray screen. Then, it wouldn't even start from there. So I started it up in safe mode, and did the disk repairs, updated my software, got rid of all my startups, put all my icons into a folder on my desktop, and ran the fsck. The fsck said nothing was wrong, but it still won't start in regular mode. I did get plenty of disk0s2 I/O errors. So I think I'm dead in the water unless anyone can help. The only thing I haven't done was erase the hd and reinstall, because I lost my start up disks a long time ago. Everything I need is backed up on an external hd, so a complete wipe and reinstall would be okay.
Purchasing the original startup disks should not be expensive. That is a straightforward approach.
If you think the drive will be toast soon anyway you could purchase a new internal drive, an external USB enclosure, and Carbon Copy Cloner. Install CCC on your existing system. Put the new drive in the external enclosure. Use CCC to clone your old drive to the new one. Physically swap them.
A silver lining is this is an opportunity to upgrade to a significantly faster disk. The Seagate hybrid SSDH drives (500 GB or 1 TB) include an 8 GB SSD cache that really boost disk speed. -
My macbook pro will only start-up in grey screen
hi, i have a potentially big problem
I have just purchased macbook pro 15 inch 2.0 GHZ and tried to transfer data using the migration assistant.
i started have numerous problems like i did not have permissions to open folders - i found out how to solve that from this forum and it worked
i had more problems though with Teamviewer - it would not open - came up with an error message 600, so i downloaded the newest version which also wouldn't open.
and basically it just got from bad to worse.....
so i thought that i would then try to do a restore from 'My Passport for Mac' external hard drive.
then i got numerous messages popping up saying 'system extensions cannot be used' etc
i tried numerous times to restart new laptop, shutdown or even hard re-boot and it would not
so i went into SYSTEM / LIBRARY / EXTENSION and started deleting the files that it said were not installed properly
the list went on and on and on so i deleted the whole contents of extension folder - it was only then that the laptop would restart
BUT - now that it has restarted i get the restart 'sound' a grey screen with the apple icon in the middle - no cursor and some small writing in the top left hand corner (looks like CMD mode) and amongst the jargon it does say 'unable to find driver for this platform'
what on earth have i done ?
please help
thanks
Serenai found the answer to my question on this forum - see below, hallelujah.....
This solved my question by Franco16 on Jun 13, 2012 3:13 AM
I found the solution, thanks to MrE_the_Great (read following cut and paste)
I'm glad it worked out. I'll put the steps below again for others who join this discussion late and to clarify as I was typing on a phone last night while my MBP was re-installing.
1) Hold in command-r while rebooting (or from cold start) to boot to the recovery partition.
2) Chose re-install mac osx
3) Enter appleID credentials
4) After the re-install is complete (may take a while depending on your intenet connection etc) all your files, preferences, and software will be there, you shouldn't lose anything.
5) DO NOT reattempt the Thunderbolt update. You can update the iPhoto and other updates that Software Update finds...just DO NOT check the Thunderbolt one or you will be at step one again.

After power cut, iMac will only start in safe mode.
When starting up the grey progress bar gets about one third of the way across and eventually switches to a blank grey screen The cursor is visible. It never progresses to the normal desk top.
It does start up in safe mode and shows the normal Yosemite desktop.
iMac is mid 2007 running Yosemite. 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 667 MHz DDR@ SDRAM, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB graphics.1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Reinstalled Firefox. Now will only start in safe mode??
Win 7 os. Another browser replaced firefox. not sure if permission was given or not. Tried to reinstall EI would not even allow me onto the Mozzilla site at first. Finally got it going only to have Safe mode. Every time firefox starts a window pops up with a number of options like reset all add ons ect. Changes are never permanent. So if I want to use firefox it has to be in safe mode. help...

Mavericks will only start in safe mode, then shuts down.
I think the new OS is trying to help me, but it's actually doing the opposite. Does is automatically try to start in safe mode after a hard shutdown or something? Every time I start up I get the spining wheel and a progress bar that takes 20-30 minutes to fully load. When it reaches the end the computer just shuts off. I have been having some problems with the Mac itself - multiple attempts needed to start up etc - but in 10.8 at least it would boot normally.
I can't even boot in the recovery drive or in Windows, because the safe mode boot begins before the keyboard is recognized, so Option does nothing. Any thoughts?
Edit: Tried zapping PRAM etc, still can't get the Option menu or avoid the endless progress bar of doom.Hi HCMJ,

Firefox crashes on opening and will only start in safe mode
On starting, Firefox gives me 2 options: to reset Firefox or open in Safe mode. If I choose reset, it crashes.
I have restarted the computer, reinstalled Firefox and disables hardware acceleration. I have also checked that Windows update KB 2670838 does not exist on my system.hello, could you provide your latest few submitted crash reports? please enter '''about:crashes''' into the location bar, copy the latest few report ids from there & paste them here into a forum reply. this will give us a better understanding what may be triggering those crashes.
i'd also recommend to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner]. -
Macbook pro will only start to windows I do not have bootcamp files.
I am new to mac but good with windows. I just bought my first mac a macbook pro 17. I do need to run windows on it too. I ran all the updates for the OS then started bootcamp. It did tell me to put in a DVD and i foolishly didnot it said it was copying the files to fbnr. I went to the next step and installed windows 7 64bit. I starts up in windows fine but i now need the drivers that would have been on the DVD. I have read that i should boot up as a mac and start bootcamp and make the DVD. I can not get the OS to start it just keeps going to the windows. How do I start up the OS? Is there a way to download the drives I need with out booting to OS?
Thank youI looked at the directions for bootcamp and on page 10 it tells you to use to use the control key when starting to choose the drive you want.

Maybe you have to install the compatible graphic card driver?
Choose the right graphic driver from the Toshiba European driver page and try to install it!

MacBook Pro will not start. No response at all.
Im asking this on behalf of my sister. She had a hard week (imac Video card/ HDD died). She resorted to use her Macbook Pro while her iMac was at apple being repaired.
Long story short, she got upset and hit the keyboard with her fist. She said her computer immediatly shut down, and when trying to boot it, nothing happens. No response from anything, no led, no hdd noise, nothing. Figuring the the thing is 4 years old, and out of warrenty, i figured id take a peak inside. Upon oepning it, i found the keyboard plug loose. Connected it, and put it back together enough to try and boot it. Still not so much as a peep.
What would be a likely suspect at this point, what sits just below the keyboard that would cause this. Its a long shot, but i figured id ask.Thank for any help.She damaged it, possibly injuring the motherboard, unseating the HDD interface, ...
I am trying to write sympathetically, but the Genius Bar needs to examine it and give you an estimate.
