Macbook Pro Wont Start Up After Update

Hey All,
I was in the middle of installing the most recent update for OSX when my computer froze completely. I shut it off by holding down the power button. Now, when I start it up, right after the apple, it goes to a screen with some script in the upper left hand corner, and a box in the middle with a picture of the power button telling me I need to restart. I've restarted it several times and it just keeps going back to that screen.
I have booted it up from the install DVD and run disk repairs and verifications, as well as checking the system profiler and utility, and nothing seems worng. I've tried starting it up by choosing to start up from the folder and it still didnt work.
If you've got any ideas, let me know. All your advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

I meant to say that the system would have been made unstable after the semi-complete update (if it was in the middle of replacing a crucial system file).
An archive and install would replace all system files, so wouldn't hurt anything. You might have to reinstall any system-intrusive applications (Palm Hotsync springs to mind, if you have that) but it will certainly fix system corruption, if that is your issue.
After the reinstall, if you encounter a complete freeze again, then I would definitely be suspicious of hardware. Possibly the original RAM, but it could be somewhere else in the system, such as the logic board. In those cases, you would have to go back to Apple for repair. (Your Macbook Pro, that is, not you.)

  • Macbook pro wont start up after trying fsck -y (incorrect block count)

    my 2 months macbook pro won't start up after numerous attempts and ive tried fsck -y and it says "incorrect block count for file system.log (it should be 184 instead of 108) help please

    it just says start up disk full, its not full however it has at least 10Gb of space left.
    Your HD is full!  How large is your HD?  You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.  You need to do some serious housekeeping.  However, you need to get to your desktop to do that. 
    Can you safe boot?  Read the threads over in the "More Like This" column over here.----------->

  • Macbook Pro cannot start properly after Yosemite v10.10.3 update

    Hello,
    I have a serious concern with my MacBook pro 13Inch Retina. After the recent update to Yosemite v10.10.3 on 18 April, whenever I start my Mac book, the Apple icon will not show up immediately as usual just black page. It only appear after I press the power bottom again( or sometimes by luck a 5 mins wait) then the icon will appear and system turns into login page.  This is not normal!
    Anyone please help! I am not sure if I were the only one experiencing this or this is a bug come with the recent update.
    Thanks!

  • Macbook pro won't boot after update to 10.6.8

    Hi everyone,
    Yesterday I bought an used macbook pro (15 inch early 2008). When looking at it, it was in good shape and the previous owner just did a fresh install of snow leopard. I took it home and whas happy with it. In the first two hours of using it, everything was fine. After installing the update to 10.6.8 my macbook needed to be shut down.. After shutting down it started up again but the screen stayed black. I had no idea why. So I rebooted it by pressing the power button. The same problem remained, it seemed to start up (I could hear the harddrive and fan) but it didn't boot into Mac Os. After a couple of attempts, it now shutsdown immediatly after pressing the powerbutton (3 seconds after). No chime or nothing.
    At first I thought this would only be a software problem, because the problem started immediatly after updating. So I put in my snow leopard dvd to boot into that, but I can't even get it to boot into the install dvd. Because it shuts down immediatly after pressing the power button. Then I started suspecting an hardware failure, which would be a very big coincidence to show up immediatly after booting up. These are the things I have tried so far, to no avail:
    - Plugging of the power cord and removing the battery, then pressing and holding the powerbutton for at least 5 sec
    - Holding the option, command, P and R keys during boot.
    - Replacing the memory
    - Replacing the hard drive
    - Unplugging the super drive
    - Starting up holding the d key
    At a certain point I was hoping that It would be an harddrive or memory problem. I replaced both with examples I know for sure they are working. But still the same problem; macbook shuts down  almostimmedialty after pressing the power button.
    There is no warrany anymore, and technical support would cost me 49 euros per incident.. to probably hear that the macbook is beyond repair. I feel i have just thrown away 300 euro's for an nightmare experience. Does anybody now anything to try, i'm really desperate here

    After installing the update to 10.6.8
    What update was that?
    So I put in my snow leopard dvd to boot into that, but I can't even get it to boot into the install dvd.
    Did the previous owner also give you the discs that originally came with the computer?  Those are what you need to troubleshoot with.  You also need disc 1 to run the Apple Hardware Test.
    There is no warrany anymore, and technical support would cost me 49 euros per incident..
    Apple Store and AASP diagnostic testings are free.  Suggest that you take full advantage of it.  This way you can find out exactly what is wrong with your computer.  Post back here with the diagnosis and someone will post DIY repair sites.

  • MacBook Pro wont start after 10.8.3 update

    So I tired installing the 10.8.3 update from the app store  and every time I did it I got the response that it wasn't downloaded properly, first on bad Internet at my house, then at school I used the really fast Internet and it was the same problem. Then I came here found that a bunch of people had the same problem, so I downloaded the combo update from apple.com from a recommendation by someone here
    Now its one big shitstorm, after taking a half hour to install on my MacBook Pro ( its a 13 inch i got last august so its brand new),  during the install I was on chrome and it kept freezing about 75% of the install complete I tried to shut every program running, that just froze the entire computer for about 5 minutes, let it finish and it said it needed to restart. It said that something couldn't close and it needed to be force quit, so I did that and let it restart.
    It turned off, and started the loading screen with the apple and the gear below it spinning, then it froze, a half hour later it didn't change, i shut it off by holding down the power button and tried to start it again now it will go until the screen with the apple and spinning gear comes and then it will just shut itself off after about 2 minutes, tried safe mode, the bar at the bottom will load about 40% then it shuts off,
    What do I do now, anything on my own? can i try and take it into the apple store or did I probably loose everything?

    It sounds like your internal drive is failing, or has failed. What backups do you have?

  • Macbook pro wont start up and stuck on a restart screen, after mountain lion installtion failure

    I tried installing Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro and the installation failed because my "hardrive was damage and could not be repaired" it then told me to restart my computer and try again which i did. However i am unable to even get back to my desktop because the Macbook starts up and i get the grey Apple logo and then this screen appears:
    Instructing me to restart my computer, it has been stuck on this cycle for a few days now and i have no idea how to fix it.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    StephBeard

    StephBeard,
    if you still have your MacBook Pro’s original box, it can be found on one of the stickers on the box. If you don’t still have its box, it can be determined from your MacBook Pro’s serial number. If its serial number has eleven characters, write down the last three characters; if it has twelve characters, write down the last four. If you don’t have its box, please include in your reply those last three or four characters of its serial number.

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep after updating to 10.4.11

    Hi,
    I just updated to 10.4.11 reluctantly from 10.4.9 as whenever I do update I always have issues...I basically just went to software update last week and updated to everything I could. I've just been reading the forums and noted that updating is not always that easy...
    Well basically my computer won't sleep if the lid is left open, this is IMMENSELY annoying since I often leave my desk to work on drawings, and I don't want energy being wasted like it is at the minute. Call me picky but I just want my computer to work.
    I've reseted the PRAM, (option, alt, p and r), closed all applications, etc, but no luck...
    Its a 2.2ghz MacBook pro, 2GB. Thank you in advance
    Neal

    The important thing for the future imho, is to always Repair Permissions before & after any update... seems to ward off most of these problems. Of course that is only good if the disk is Verified once in awhile.
    Using Disk Utility in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later to verify or repair disks...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    In fact I'd start with those 2 now, if that doesn't help you may need to reapply some updates by getting them directly from apple>downloads.

  • Macbook pro 13" running slow after update

    After the iTunes update(version 10.7) and OS X Lion update that was rolled out a few weeks ago, my macbook pro 13" has been runnning slow at times. These are mainly those times when I am listening to music on itunes and browsing on safari (and no other activity). In case I am using more than these two applications, it almost certainly runs VERY slow and I am forced to restart. Without itunes, it runs fine though.
    Any help anyone?

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Macbook Pro not starting up after 10.9.3 install

    Hi everyone. I have a mid-2010 15 inch Macbook Pro. After putting it off for some time, I went to install the 10.9.3 update. However, after installing the update, the computer won't start!
    A progress bar appears under the Mac Logo during start-up, but it only gets about 1/5th of the way through, when the bar disappears and then the mac shuts down. I've attempted this at least 5 times and it always does the same thing.
    I held option during start-up to boot into the Recovery disk, and tried to repair the partition (I also have a bootcamp partition), but it said it was unable to repair. What's my next step? I have a time camp back-up from 50 days ago, so I could restore from that but it wouldn't be ideal. Is there a way to backup my files in it's current state in anyway?
    Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hey NickinTampa,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like the computer won't start and you have tried repairing the disk. This article gives several other ways to try and resolve startup disk issues.

  • Macbook pro wont start with 3 beeps

    hi
    Few months back I purchased a refurbished macbook pro (late 2012 model) with i7 processor and 8 GB ram. Now after 2 months I experienced problem with mac - it wont start with 3 beeps. I looked at different articles in net and found about no memory bank problem. I opened the back and changed slots and it seemed to fix the issue. However the issue was recurring few times and ram was changed. Again the issue seemed to have resurfaced. I tried with memtest in single user mode and RAM passes the tests.
    What else could be the issue around the macbook pro. Do you suggest taking it to local Apple store to get it checked?
    Thanks

    Test each module installed alone while switching slots (power down before switching and remove battery.) Do both modules work alone in each slot? If they do, then it would appear the memory is good as are the slots. So, something else is at play and only an Apple Store has the equipment to go further - make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Bad System call. Macbook pro wont start up

    Hello,
    I seem to have come across a problem. I thought it happened after trying to install new software through X11. I restarted my macbook pro and received about 15 error messages all containing information about certain extensions not being installed properly. I remember one being about my 802.11 airport but I havnt altered anything to do with it.
    When I turned my macbook off and on again I got a black screen with info about about bad system calls, throttling too quickly etc..
    I noticed a number of people mentioning the i tunes update which I tried to install before it completely died and it wouldnt actually finish the update so i just force quit software updates. Now my machine doesnt do a thing: when I turn it on I receive the apple symbol with the spinning cog and eventually it goes back to the black screen with the bad system info.
    I started in single user and tried fsck - fy and it said everything was ok. I tried to start in safe mode however when I turn my macbook pro on I dont hear the chime- therefore I dont seem to be able to enter safe mode.
    If anybody can help ASAP it would be much appreciated- got lots of work that needs doing on it:)
    cheers

  • 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.

  • Macbook Pro won't boot after update

    I have a macbook pro3,1 (early 2008) that I received from someone else.  When I received it, it had os x 10.8.3 installed. Initially I tried to update it to maverick, but after it rebooted it would not boot, just continued to reboot over and over.  I then was able to boot into restore mode and do a repair on the disk. After that I was able to boot into 10.8.3.
    I decided to update to 10.8.5, and received the same results as before. This time I was unable to restore with a disk repair. 
    I also created a bootable usb with Mavericks on it. Again, it will not boot to allow an install.
    I was able to boot into safe mode, but that did not fix the installation. I tried repartitioning the hard drive and install mavericks on the new partition, but that failed also.
    After looking at the logs, I see that there is a kernel panic that happens.  Everytime I boot normally, it seems to get just before the login screen before it reboots.  Below is the log.

    I received the macbook from someone else without installation disks. Also, when try to do a re-install of 10.8.3 from the internet in restore mode, it tells me that the account does not match the one the purchase was made from.  I would rather not run 10.8.3 anyway if I could install mavericks.
    Below is the system information for the macbook
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro3,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          4 MB
      Memory:          2 GB
      Bus Speed:          800 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          MBP31.0070.B07
      SMC Version (system):          1.16f11
      Serial Number (system):          W87422HUYAM
      Hardware UUID:          00000000-0000-1000-8000-001B63A5B553
    I have tried to reset nvram as well as smc with no result.
    I have also done a extended apple hardware test which found no errors.
    The macbook does have a bad battery, so I have tried booting without the battery.  The results did not change.
    I have searched the internet for the kernel panic error and can not find a consistent issue for macbook pros.  Some say it is a hardware problem.  Others say it is an install problem.  What does not make sense to me is if it is hardware problem, why was I able to restore it back once and get it to boot consistently.  It seems to be directly the result of updating the software.
    I also read that 10.8.5 consistently had boot problems upon install, so I tried re-installing the combo update for 10.8.5
    I feel like I have exhausted almost all the resources except taking it to the genius bar.
    Please let me know if you can help.
    Thanks,

    bereanmh,
    since your MacBook Pro didn’t originally have Mountain Lion installed at the factory, the former owner erred in leaving it on its internal disk when transferring it to you; Mountain Lion is non-transferable when sourced from the Mac App Store. The former owner should rather have provided you with its original pair of grey installation discs, which hold its original version of Mac OS X, its iLife apps, and its model-specific Apple Hardware Test. If you didn’t receive these discs, you can contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair. (They’re not available in Apple stores.)
    That being stated, regarding the panic report above, the prime suspect is that NullCPUPowerManagement kernel extension — try uninstalling it to see if that makes a difference.
