MacBook pro won't startup shortly after Lion install any ideas?

My MacBook Pro will not completely startup. This started shortly after OS Lion download. I've shut it down manually and it still won't startup.

Your assumption was correct I do not understand the messages. Here they are:

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

MacBook Pro won't boot up after Lion upgrade

I upgraded my 13" macbook pro to lion last night. I watched some movies until the battiery died. Now it won't boot up. Indicator light does not come on and it makes no noise. Battery indicator says it's full. Any suggestions?

MBP's are very finicky about RAM. Most of us here will recommend Crucial or OWC as the best source. If I were you I'd put the original RAM back in and see if the problem goes away. If so, return what you just bought and buy from one of the vendors I mentioned.

MacBook Pro Won't Start up after leopard Install

I installed leopard on my MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo. Well at the end during the restarting phase it took forever to restart and my power was running out so not sure if it restarted or batt went dead. After recharging i turned on mac and wont boot up past the apple with dots hovering it. Don't know much about macs so if you could help it would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple boards:
You installed Leopard on battery power? That's a real big no no. A very risky gamble at best.
If your battery died during install, you may well have totally hosed the system.
After recharging i turned on mac and wont boot up past the apple with dots hovering it. Don't know much about macs so if you could help it would be appreciated.
See if you can boot into the Leopard DVD (hold down "C" on boot) and after the language screen, on the top left will be a menu. Select Utilities, run Disk Utility and repair your HD and permissions.
See if that gets you somewhere.

Macbook Pro won't startup after installing of 10.8.4

I just installed the 10.8.4 combo update package anf my Macbok Pro won't restart. After downloading the updates, the computer restarted itself, finished installing the updates, restarted itsalf again, anf when it gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo and the rotation icon underneath the logo, it just hangs. It goes no further than that. I let it run for about an hour before I tried to restart it manually, but I could never get it past that final screen. How do I fix it?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
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 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.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Macbook Pro won't startup after Update

I guess everyone has been having problems around here. But I really have no clue what to do. I did not even know there was un update until I restarted. After I did it now my macbook pro won't start up. It makes that chime noise at the beginning and then it shows the apple and the spinning thing below it and I left it for 2 hours and came back and nothing had changed.
It my computer broken? Did I do something wrong? Have I lost all my stuff? Please help!

Yeah, I have had the exact same problem. it happen last friday. Also, i'm not sure if this is related or not but right before the update the computer for no reason in the middle of doing stuff it would tell me to force shut down by holding down the power button. not sure what to do. If i ship it out it will be about a 2 weeks before i get it back and if I take it in, they can't put it on the bench for about 5 days. its very frustrating and apple needs to figure something out for service.

My Macbook A1181 won't startup. After turn on I get white screen with a folder sign with question mark in the center.

The battery is charging.

It sounds like your hard drive is bad. If you can see it in Disk Utility you may still be able to get your files off of it. If you have one of the MacBooks with the removable battery it's very easy to put in a new hard drive.
Here's instructions on replacing your hard drive http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To buy a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-5-SATA-HDD-HARD-DRIVE-EXTERNAL-ENCLOSURE-CASE-BOX-/120 636286623?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item1c167ba69f
Put your old hard drive in an external case and after you've formatted your new hard drive and installed your operating system on it plug in your old hard drive and see if it is recognized by the new system. If so then transfer whatever files you want to the new hard drive

My MacBook pro won't startup

I hear the startup noise and i can see the grey screen, but it won't go past that point. Any idea what's wrong?

You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have the Hard Drive checked out.
Best.

Macbook Pro won't print the first page of any file in any application.

Problem: My Mid-2009 Macbook Pro won’t print the first page in Microsoft Word, Sibelius 6, or in Adobe Reader. My printer is an old Canon MP480 that’s worked for almost 2 years perfectly. As well, the “print to pdf” function results in the same error. However, if I open a new user account it all works fine. To change user accounts would be an extreme hassle though so, if possible, I would like to first remedy this one.
Recent changes: the motherboard of my computer was replaced about a week and a half ago. I printed a lot of stuff from Word two days ago and that worked fine but, already then the print to pdf function was cropping off the first page. At the time, though, I accredited the issue to the word documents being filled with pictures of sheet music that I was printing instead of text.
Things I have tried:
Updated Mac software
Repaired Disc Permissions in Disk Utility
Checked for new printer drivers/firmware
Reset the PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379.)

No but it's not a printer-related issue because the "Print to PDF" function also leaves out the first page.

MacBook Pro won't boot up after updating to Lion

I just updated my MacBook Pro to Lion. After install restart the computer is stuck on the white screen with the apple logo and spinning wheel. I manually restarted it after 1 hour but that didn't solve the issue. What do I do? Any advice would be greatly appriciated.

That sounds like the case. Good Luck.
check this link:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Lion+boot+disk
there is a ton of information, step by step. I am sure there is probably something here in these forumns on creating the boot disk.
Again I would start with a clean install of Lion off of the boot disk you create.
FYI I started with Snow Leopard time machine backups updated, then cloned my existing drive to a FW drive before installing. During the work day and in IT, It was a savior to target boot from the firewire drive to address employee needs when I was having Lion lock up issues from the initial install.
Wipe and install clean so far so good. No lock ups. And USB flash install was super fast. Then brought my apps over, or re-installed. This way everything was clean.

My Macbook Pro won't shut down after installing Lion. Anyone have a suggestion to fix this?

Just installed Lion, and it won't shutdown!
The only way it'll shut down is if it drains the battery.
Help!
J

Lots of other people are complaining about their Macs taking long times to shutdown. Some solved it by reinstalling Lion from scratch (without using a Time Machine backup and simply copying all their files on to the new install).
Others discovered old software that is no longer compatible with Lion (I found Mac The Ripper in mine, plus many others on day 1). I uninstalled some apps using App Cleaner (google it, it's free and it's awesome).
I was having a hard time shutting down my macbook pro, now it's back to normal.
Try finding applications that are not compatible with Lion. Their icons should be greyed out and with a diagonal line crossing it. Make sure you erase these applications and library related files, which is very simple if you use App Cleaner. And make sure you look into sub-folders inside the Applications folder, as I missed a couple because they were not immediately visible.
Hope it helps. If it does, let us know.

Macbook Pro won't startup after 10.9.1 update

Early 2013 Macbook Pro 13" retina running Mavericks.
Installed the 10.9.1 update and left it to do that and when I returned it had restarted in Bootcamp in Windows 8.1
Requested in Windows that it startup in OSX. On starting up OSX a message came up saying there was a problem starting.
It tries to startup a couple of times then a circle with a line though it comes up and it goes no further.
Tried booting into recovery mode to check permissions etc. in disc utility but that's not coming up either.
Any suggestions on what else to try?

Chose startup disk manually:
Hold the Command button during startup, then select your macintosh partition.
Reset the nvram:
Turn on your mac while holding Command-Option-P-R until the chime sounds for the second time.
Safe boot:
Boot while holding down the RIGHT shift button.
If you have a Time Machine, you can use that to restore.
Reinstall via recovery:
Hold down Command-R during boot, then hit reinstall in the menu.
Other than that, you'll have to go to a Genius Bar.
Hope this helps!
