Macbook Pro wont boot (Grey apple screen + thinking wheel)

Hello.
When i turn on my mac, the apple logo comes, and the thinking-wheel comes - i've left it on for about 2 hours, and it just keeps going.. I've tried for 6 hours now, to reboot, googling and browsing forums.
I dont have the installation CDs, they are somewhere down in the basement collecting dust (already looked, i gave up)
I can get into terminal - i can also click "Option" and the harddrive comes up.
I dont care if i loose everything, i dont have anything important on it.
How do i get this stupid wheel away? It wont boot in safe mode neither, when i click left shift the apple shows up, but the thinking-wheel never comes (which makes me think its stuck) I've only let it wait for 3-4 minutes after clicking the left shift key, but nothing happens.

I dont have the installation CDs
What about your system dvds? The ones that originally came with your computer? If they are also gathering dust bunnies you can get replacement System DVDs from Apple's Customer Support for a nominal S&H fee. *You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.*

  • MBP won't boot - Grey Apple Screen, Spinning Wheel, then Shut Down

    Help please
    For no apparent reason, my otherwise well-working MBP (2007 model) simply won't log in to OSX (leopard). I try to boot it up, and I get the grey screen with the Apple logo, the spinning progress wheel, and then after about 4 minutes, it just powers off.
    Thoughts?

    I ran verify because the option to run repair was not available.
    And just to make sure, you booted from the install disc? (Repair Disk is never available when booted on the boot volume of the HD.)
    Here's a follow up... This mac wasn't doing it's airport backups properly,
    I'm not quite sure what that means, maybe Time Machine? Time Capsule?
    so I don't have a recent back up of the files. Would you suggest just sending the computer to a data recovery service?
    Very expensive. Try FireWire Target Disk Mode first. If that doesn't work, I'd remove the HD, install it in an external enclosure (as low as $15) and see if it will boot the MBP or the data is accessible from another Mac.
    Do you think I can just pop a new HD in it and it'll work fine under a full reinstall?
    Doing my previous suggestions first may help to answer that. If there's absolutely nothing wrong with the HD, then that isn't the issue. If there is something wrong with it, likely a new HD is the fix.

  • PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!! My macbook pro is stuck on apple screen.

    Hello,
    Ok so heres the story, I have my friends macbook pro model#A1226. He bought the laptop from someone else. After having it a couple weeks (and it worked just fine, no problems whatsoever) we tried to install full tilt poker on it and relized that it had a password which would not allow us to download anything without having it (this is weird to me that we didnt have to have a password to access the whole system but just to install stuff, weird). At that time we did not have access to an operating system disk (we were told that for this computer its 10.5) and were told that we could re-install and that would reset the password. So.... I did something I should not have done. I looked up online how to bypass the password. I found a post, http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/ that told me to access terminal (on load up after "chime" sound to push apple+s) than type "mount -uw /" and hit enter. Than type "rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" and hit enter and than "shutdown -h now" and hit enter to restart. They said that this would create a new admin account and I would be able to delete the previous admin account with the password this way. Well....this may have worked except I typed the code in wrong, instead of "rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" I missed a space and typed "rm/var/db/.AppleSetupDone". After I typed it in wrong I still gave it the command to shutdown and when I restarted it loaded up to the grey apple screen with the thinky wheel thingy and was frozen there. It will stay like that for about 5 min and then restart itself and do the exact same thing. I found a friend who had the Mac OS X 10.5 disk and borrowed it from him but putting the disk in does nothing, I have tried pushing and holding the "C" after the chime and "C+ctrl" and no difference. Is there a way I can format everything through the terminal (since this is the only thing I can access) or does someone know a trick of some other code to type in to reset everything or did I fry the Hard Drive or what? And we dont care about saving anything on the computer, we just want it to work. Someone please please help. This is my friends computer and Im an idiot for messing with stuff I dont understand. I feel so bad. Thank you so much for your time, to whoever is so kind as to give me some of there expertise.

    Hello c:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Your post was hard to follow, but, for openers, very few people should EVER use terminal commands. As you have found out, you can screw a system up badly.
    So much for the lecture.
    OS X requires a system administrator password when anyone tries to install software that will affect the operating system. This is an Apple security feature that keeps people from, hopefully, doing dumb things to their system.
    You cannot use a "friends" disk on a system that differs from your own.
    Bottom line, you need to reinstall the operating system (whatever came with the system). If it is OS X 10.5, you could do an archive and install.
    There is no way that I know of to undo the damage caused by entering the arcane terminal commands.

  • Mac Pro wont boot to logon screen

    Help!!
    A couple of weeks ago, before upgrading to 10.5.7, my screen would freeze like a picture with the mouse cursor able to move but nothing would respond. I generally had to use the main power button at least 5 times before the display would show anything and get to the logon screen. It seemed to happen when moving the mouse cursor to the top right corner of my display, which I use to "Display all windows". I have since updated to 10.5.7 but was still getting the problem. A couple of times the display just shut off on its own, there was a click within the computer then the display went blank. This has happened a few times.
    Last night the screen froze again and I tried the usual reboot about 40 times and only a few times got the Grey Apple screen but would not get any further. If I had a blank screen on reboot the hard drive would be spinning at full speed and would not stop until I switched the machine off.
    Now it has a mind of its own! If I get to the Grey screen it now has the sun ray symbol going round and sits like that for some minutes then the machine reboots and it goes through this cycle repeatedly on its own!
    I can't get it to boot into the logon screen at all now.
    I have tried various startup key options to no effect (no response to any startup options including PRAM, SMC, disconnecting all external items etc) and I am now at a loss as to what to do next.
    Personally I think I have two problems, one possibly a faulty graphics card and secondly corrupted Operating System software?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Douglas

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for your advice. It has taken many reboots to get it to recognise the install disk! Eventually it came up and I ran Disk Utility. It said the drive could not be repaired as Keys were out of order. I managed to install OSX on my second hard drive and I am now copying all the info I need from that drive after which I will reformat it ready for use again.
    What a nightmare! Even worse are the negative comments I have read about the Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB Drives as I have 2 installed and also a couple of Lacie External 500GB and 600GB Drives which have also had bad reviews and I did have one fail and have spent years trying to recover 20,000 photos.
    So looks like I am heading for another disaster down the line!
    Thanks for your help with this one though!
    Regards
    Douglas

  • Macbook suddenly frozen at grey Apple screen after shutting down

    For the first time, I had a bit of trouble starting up my Macbook yesterday. I would turn it on 3 or 4 times, and it would stick at the grey Apple icon screen. The 5th try worked, albeit a little longer than normal, and led me to the login screen.
    After a full day's work, I shut it down. Upon trying to start it up again this morning, I was greeted by the same grey loading screen, and nothing happened. I tried restarting it umpteen times, to no avail.
    This Macbook is only 8 months old, and I've never experienced anything like this.
    After reading about several similar cases like this in the forum (on my old clunky PC), I inserted my OSX cd, and ran disk utility. It seemed to find a dozen or so files that were misplaced or broken, and repaired them after verifying the issues. All was green and good to go, it said. Restarted the Macbook, and am still stuck at that grey Apple screen.
    Unfortunately, I don't have a backup of my files, and a clean install of OSX is not an option (yes, I know, stupid on my part). If anything, I need to get in there one last time, and over several hours back up all my files, apps, and settings, then do a dreaded reinstall.
    I've tried booting into safe mode (holding shift before powering the comp on), but it still wouldn't go any farther than that grey screen.
    I'm probably going to have to pick up my AppleCare plan tomorrow, but am hesitant, because if they tell me I have to lose all my files, I'll snap. Paying $300 to not even get a straight-jacket, isn't really a bargain.
    So a huge PLEASE goes out to anyone that might have some suggestions, methods, secrets, that might allow me to get in there one last time, or fix this bug for good.
    An enormous thanks in advance.

    This exact thing just happened to me last night. I've had my Macbook for almost a year and a half with absolutely no problems (and for a former windows user, this was astounding). But last night as I was checking accuweather.com with Firefox, the whole computer froze. I couldn't force quit or anything, so I held the power button down and it turned off. I restarted normally and got the grey screen of death with no usual spiraling circle icon. I tried rebooting again with the same problem. Luckily i took advantage of two great Apple offerings: AppleCare when i bought the computer, and then I installed Leopard a couple months ago. Time Machine backed up everything 2 days ago when i last hooked up my external hard drive. Yay for no data loss!! I fear a hard drive failure, but maybe the OS simply needs a fresh install? I have an appointment with a Genius tonight... i'll let you know how that goes and what they say is the problem. Sounds like we're not the only ones with this problem as i've seen multiple threads outlining the issue, but none with clear cut solutions.

  • Imac 27" - installed Snow Leopard from macbook pro - just get grey apple

    I have a friends imac he bought second hand and it starts okay but the mouse moves but the click is unresponsive. I wiped it via firewire target mode and installed snow leopard.... all that happens is I get as far as the grey apple screen.... I checked again via target and it appears it installed okay. It won't launch into safe mode... kinda stumped

    If you installed Snow Leopard via FireWire target mode on the iMac using the disks that came with your MBP, then that's the problem. First, of course, is the fact that that is illegal. The real technical hurdle, though, is that those gray disks that came with your MBP install a system that works only on your MBP.
    Your friend needs his own Mac OS X install disk. If the machine didn't come with one, he will need to either buy SL retail, or call Apple and request a replacement for the gray disks that shipped with the machine (which contain things not on the SL disk, like bundled software and the [Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509] boot system).

  • Macbook pro stuck on grey apple logo screen - HELP! I've tried everything

    I've looked through the forum for help and I think I've tried everything short of erasing and reinstalling mac os x -
    - I've done an fsck (got "invalid volume count", "invalid node structure", "volume check failed" errors)
    - booted from install disk and tried to verify disk (same errors as above)
    - tried to "archive and install" mac os but got error saying "the destination disk must be erased for installation"
    I tried T-starting my laptop connected to another mac (a powerbook g4) to try to backup my files before erasing and reinstalling mac os - but the mbp hard drive won't mount on the powerbook.
    My latest idea is to try installing mac os x onto an external drive - and then booting my macbook pro from the external drive... and see if I get anywhere. my only concern is, I have to make SURE the option saying "Install Mac OS X - Installs Mac OS X for the first time" does NOT delete the contents of the external drive (it is a client's and cannot be erased!). I know there is also the option that says "Erase and Install" -- but I just want to make sure the first option will NOT delete the contents of an external drive.
    Anyone know for sure? Or have any other suggestions? I have some work on my macbook pro that I cannot lose. Unfortunately I have not been backing things up... big mistake that I will not repeat.
    Thanks in advance.

    DiskWarrior is the answer, as sig has suggested. It can sort out directory damage that is well beyond Disk Utility's repair capabilities. If you already had a bootable external hard drive of your own, I'd urge you to buy and download DiskWarrior and install it on the bootable external drive, then run it from there to rebuild the directory on your internal drive. I have to say that using a client's hard drive to solve your own problem would be appalling and unconscionable, and I hope you'll forget that idea.
    If you can't see your way to buying an external hard drive along with DiskWarrior, you'll have to buy DW on a bootable disc, or order one online and wait for it to arrive.
    If you can buy an external hard drive of your own in addition to DiskWarrior — and I can't think of any better use for a credit card, if cash is short — then you'll be able to boot your MBP to a Leopard installer disc, install Leopard on the new external drive, and then buy DiskWarrior as a download (rather than on a disc) and use it as I described above. After sorting out the internal drive with DW, clone the internal to the external drive with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, and there's your backup from now on.
    I should add that although Western Digital external hard drives seem to be available cheaply everywhere, I strongly recommend against buying one. Seagate drives are also widely available, and would be a better choice.

  • Won't Boot,  Grey apple screen

    I have a MacBook Pro which has a partitioned drive...one part obviously runs Mac OS X and for the other part through bootcamp I run Windows (its complicated as to why, I dont even understand the need for it but its a school computer and supposedly it was required for us to partition our drives in order to run certain software for a future class). Anyways, when I boot the windows partition everything is all great and happy and works perfectly fine. When I boot the mac portion however, it crashes during the booting process. The grey apple is on the screen and the spinny little dial thing comes up underneath it (though it's delayed slightly) and it runs like that for a couple minutes and then just shuts down.
    Any thoughts? I'm at a loss and am pretty much contacting everyone I can think of in order to get this fixed as I have finals coming up in which I will need the use of the computer :S

    I would boot up in Single User Mode
    Hold down the Option key at boot
    Select the Macintosh Partition
    Hold down APPLE and S
    When at the prompt type in FSCK -f
    This will check the disk for any errors. When process is complete type exit and this should boot you in to OS X.
    Run Disk Utility->Repair permissions.
    Good Luck.

  • MacBook Pro WONT boot when Firewire Hard Drive is attached....?

    is anyone else having a problem with Booting up their MacBook Pro when they have a firewire device attached?
    I use a Lacie 400Gb External drive and it just wont get past the start screen (grey screen, before the Apple even appears), unless I unplug the firewire drive first...
    I know Apple will fix these bugs, so I really shouldn't moan... but I just wanna double check others are having this problem and I haven't got a dud one!! (or I'll take it back to the Apple Store ASAP!)
    Thanks!!!

    I have this about 50% of the time! I generally have my FW400 drive hooked up, and if I forget, it may or may not boot. I have sent an email about that to apple. Oh, if I was in Windows last, it is not a problem since it remembers it...

  • Macbook Pro wont start up (Apple logo and spinning thing all I get)

    When I turn on my macbook pro I get the “tone” the Apple logo and the spinning thing but then the spinning thing just freezes up and does nothing for ever. I let it just site like that for 30 minutes then it just goes to black. It is plugged in so power is not an issue.
    I tried to boot up in safe mode and again I get the tone the logo then the bar to show the safe mode then the spinning thing then nothing. I did boot it up via firewire target mode and was able to see the hard drive and all my files on my imac so the hard drive works (I think).
    I do have the original install disk and am willing to start the computer fresh but have no idea how.
    So any suggestions???
    I also tried to turn on and run the repair mode I think that’s where I held down a key the screen went black and some commands ran then I typed somting like flvr - fv
    Thanks Brad

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • MacBook Pro stuck on grey gear screen

    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro. I downloaded the newest update of Mountain Lion today. After downloading and restarting, my MacBook stayed on a grey screen with an unmoving gear symbol towards the bottom. It has been like this for almost two hours, and I feel like something is wrong. Any advice?

    It sounds like the update was not able to get installed completely. I would start with an SMC reset, by following the directions listed on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    If that doesn't take care of things, it sounds like you should try a manual shut down and boot into the recovery partition, by holding command + r when you hear the start up chime.
    Once you're in the recovery partition, open disk utility and select repair disk permissions and verify disk. If prompted, select repair disk.

  • Mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro wont boot up.

    The apple store replaced the cable that went to my hard drive on my mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro.  The hard drive still will not boot so they told me to remove it put it in a box and connect it to another computer and save the files.  I have done that and connected it to my father's MacBook Pro.  I can find the external drive but I don't know what to do next. 
    My goal is to save the files on his computer then reinstall the hard drive in my computer and start up in restore mode.  Next I will reformat the drive and move the files I placed on my fathers Mac back to mine.
    Can anyone help me with where I can get step by step instructions to do this?
    Thanks

    I think you mean Office for Mac. In any event, the standard applications will come with the reinstall, like Mail, iTunes, etc. Anything else won't. If you have the original disks the machine came with, the iLife apps should be on there.
    I have to say this... I know you probably don't want to spend money on this, but if the data is important, the better way to handle this is to buy another hard drive. They're cheap. I can tell you how to prep the new drive if you don't know how. Then run Migration Assistant when you're done and let it try to pull over all your stuff from the old drive. Once all that is done, you can reformat your old drive and you'll have something to use for backup. You don't say how big your current drive is, but even a 1TB is well under $100 now. The reason I suggest this is because if you miss anything important on your old drive, once you format it it's gone. The way I'm suggesting, you'd be able to make sure you have all you need first.

  • My Macbook Pro wont boot after upgrading to SSD, A ? Mark on Folder appears

    Hello all,
    I just put in a new SSD into my mid 2012, 13" macbook pro. This is the exact SSD http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=77394 89&tab=7&SRCCODE=WEBLET03ORDER&cm_mmc=Email-_-WebletMain-_-WEBLET03ORDER-_-Deals &utm_source=EML&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=WEBLET03ORDER&cm_lm=noahbragg@cedar ville.edu
    I swapped out my optical drive and put in the SSD using this tutorial, http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Dual +Hard+Drive/13787 Everything seemed to go fine and i had no problems. But when I tried to start up the computer it stayed on a gray screen and a foler with a question mark on it, showed up blanking. I have looked all over for the internet for the answer, I have tried to reset the PRAM but it did nothing. I then tried to select what drive i wanted to boot from by holding the option key when i booted, but when the options came up, SSD or old harddrive did not come up as a way to boot up. There were some internet options to recover but they did not work.
    The SSD has nothing on it at this point, but my plan was to boot up using the original HD and then clone it over to the SSD, but ovbiously i cant even find the HD to boot to. I have seen that people are having troubles with booting to their SSD because of the new mavericks update, but i am just trying to boot to my original HD at this point.
    I also considered that maybe i possibly damaged the HD cables through static electricty, but when i searched more about it i learned that i should have heard snap or felt a jolt. None of these things happened when i installed the SSD. So i beleive that the hard drive or SSD are not broken in any way.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how i can fix this? Need my computer very badly! thanks in advance.

    I also forgot to mention that after the first time i tried to boot, it went to the normal screen where it wanted me to put in my apple id password. but the loading wheel was just spinning the whole time. so i turned off the computer and tried again. thats when the question mark folder came up and kept coming up everytime after that.

  • Macbook pro wont boot in safe mode or from CD

    Hey all
    Two days ago my mack book pro (2 years old) fooze giving me a blue screen (dark blue with lines, not the ligthbue, which you se at start-up). I tried change the harddisk and rebooted using the command-r option. I succesfully re-installed mac os using the internet option. Next the macbook work for 1.5 day without any problems. However this evning the computer  brook down again. I recieved the dark blue screen again. I then tried to boot from both a CD and from the internet. However the reboot-keys are not working any more, and I cant get pass the inital start up screen. When tried booting from the CD it recieved the message from the attached image. Can anybody tell, how I will be able to boot the machine ?
    Thanks Dennis

    Dennis,
    if your MacBook Pro is two years old, then it didn’t come with OS X on DVDs — it came with OS X on a recovery partition on the internal hard disk. Your picture shows a version of OS X from 2008, which your two year old MacBook Pro would be unable to run — which is why you’re getting the results that that picture shows.
    You’ll need to repeat the OS X Internet Recovery that you did the previous time; erase your internal disk, and redownload your computer’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers through the Command-R boot. Once you’ve reïnstalled its original version of OS X and have run Software Update, try running the Apple Hardware Test by holding down the D key as you restart, and then run its extended test, to see if it can detect a hardware problem.

  • MacBook Pro Stuck at Grey Apple with New 8GB of RAM

    So I recently purchased 8 GB of RAM to upgrade my 2010, 13", Intel Core 2 DUO, 2.4GHz with Lion MacBook Pro from the original 4 GB it had. But once the new RAM sticks were installed. The computer proceeds to but to the Grey Apple logo during boot and freezes every-time the wheel begins to spin. From that point I decided to put one of the original 2 GB sticks back into the computer and leave one of the new 4 GB sticks in as well. Guess what, the computer booted fine.
    This makes no sense to me as I know this computer can take 8 GB of RAM but yet it will only work when I have one of the original sticks in making my total RAM 6 GB. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
    Here is the exact RAM stick I ordered:

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I hope you have return privileges.
    Macs are notoriously 'picky' about RAM. Just because modules are advertised as meeting the specs doesn't mean they will work reliably.
    I learned the hard way with a RAM upgrade from a manufacturer who did not guarantee Mac compatibility. They did replace them once, yet the RAM still didn't work without frequent Kernel Panics.
    RAM from Apple, Crucial, and OtherWorldComputing (www.macsales.com) seems to work well for most people who discuss it here in the forums. With other brands, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
