MacbookPro 10.4.11 won't boot

I mistakenly booted from an OSX 10.5 Install disc. It came up and said it couldn't be installed on the computer, and gave choices for re-start. I chose my hard drive 10.4.11. Now it comes up to the Apple grey screen and the pin wheel spins for 30 seconds, then the computer shuts off. I reset the PRAM and was able to eject the disc, and I can hear the hard drive seeking. Any help?

Welcome to the Forums!
First, try booting into Safe Mode - boot with the Shift key pressed. If that doesn't work, I'd try booting from the original installer disc 1 that came with your computer, after language selection choose Utilities menu > Disk Utility, then select your HDD and Verify, and if errors are reported, Repair it. You may need to Repair a couple of times, if DU doesn't report it as fixed after a couple attempts (DU is not the most powerful repair utility), you may need to buy Disk Warrior.
Note that you should be able to boot from a retail Leopard Install DVD and you should be able to install Leopard with no problems on your MBP. I suspect you were using one of the gray Leopard discs from someone else's Mac - those are machine-specific, and work only on the same model and build (release date) that they shipped with. If that was an attempt to upgrade to Leopard without buying it, and that's what caused problems for your MBP, well, 'nuff said.
Hope this helps...

    Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
    clean the disk.
    If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

  • MacBookpro Early 2011 graphic issue won't boot

    Hello,
    My Early 2011 MacBookPro suddenly suffered from graphics issues for a few days then it won't boot at all.
    The hardware test says it is ok and my hard drive too. But when I want to boot, the apple appears and the dong too, but then blank screen. It is the same with a bootcamp boot, but with a blue screen with lines all over the screen. The recovery partition doesn't start either. But I can access boot from my hard drive with another Mac on target mode.
    Anyway Apple doesn't admit there's a problem a want me to pay the reparation, because they don't report it as a real problem, saying that I damaged the computer. But there are threads here and all over the internet, and they don't want to do anything.
    On the phone, the apple guy told me that I had to pay 80$ to see if there is any problem , and " maybe if we see there's a fabrication problem, we'll fix it for free ". Do I have to trust them ? What can I do to ?
    Thank you

    You should at least add your experience and see if those who have come up with 'quick fixes' can help you with your problem.

  • MacBookPro updated to 10.5.6 won't boot from 10.6.3 DVD it came with

    I have a clone image 10.6.3 on an external hard drive also, and when I try to select it as the start up drive for a machine that often freezes on start it says it won't bless that drive as a startup disk, and it won't boot from the original install dvd. it's only 3 months old - does it go to hardware repair?

    Since your machine is so new, I'd definitely make an appointment at the genius bar and have them take a look at it. It's one thing if it won't boot from an external clone, since there could be a problem with the external drive or how it's set up, but if it freezes and won't boot to the install disc, there's something wrong.
    The Apple Store can run a hardware test from their store feed and it just takes a few minutes. That might be a good place to start. Take your install DVD along when you go--possibly it is what has a problem.
    Good luck!

  • MacBook Pro Won't Boot Beyond Grey Apple Screen - Mystery Partition Found

    My MacBook Pro, which suffers from appalling overheating (94 degrees C in each core last week) won't boot beyond the grey apple splash screen. I booted from a Developer's disk and ran Repair Disk/Disk Permissions. Both verified AND said the repairs failed. The drive (as opposed to the volumes) said it had no valid files and thus couldn't be repaired even though it verified. I target-disked it to one of my G4s and took off a bunch of apps and lightened its load, waited a while and tried again--it's been grey screen gear turning for 20 minutes now. I have Remote Desktop but it won't respond to that. Of course, Windows XP boots up perfectly normally on its Boot Camp-created partition, dumbly unaware of the general chaos on the other side.
    While I had the Disk Utility from the boot disk on, I noticed my partition scheme had changed somehow. The big partition with the system was now in position #2, set between #3 (Windows--formerly #2 of 2) and a new one of only 200MB called #1 which is formatted OS X Journaled. I didn't make that partition and it couldn't be erased. I think the cpmputer is looking in the #1 spot for a system and can't find it because some renegade partition with no brain has pushed its way to the front. How do I annihilate that thing and get on with it? How did it get there?
    Has anyone tried that alter the Apple Blower/Fan hack said to turn the fans on permanently?
    For the record, I'm in L.A. and the ground has been rocking and rolling for the past 3 minutes on and off.

    I called Apple's Tech Support and they had me do perform sevral procedures I had done already, none of which worked. They suggested that the mystery partition (which has since ceased to reappear in the Disk Utility's view of the partition scheme) was an anomaly caused by the still-Beta Boot Camp--nothing was said about Windows XP booting, but I think you're right because whenever installing Windows, it always reserves a small "free space" on the PC's drive for its own purposes. Anyway, I'mre-installing now but very unhappy to hear I have suspected all along--the overheating is killing the computer. I know this from experience because Ihad a Powerbook G4 with a at-that-time-not-yet-recalled battery that overheated to such an extent that it fried the logic board and the harddrive. After a year of arguing with Apple, they replaced the computer with this MacBookPro--and overheating laptop that also had its battery recalled, has already been sent back to Texas for over heating (they replaced the superdrive which of course had no effect on the heat issue) and now has hard drive problems. I have two old PowerMac G4s sitting here plugging along--maybe I'm over laptops. Thanks

  • IBook on 10.4 won't boot from Install Disk

    Hi - Somewhere along the line I lost DiskUtility from my iBook running 10.4.11. I thought I could run it from the Install Disc but I find the iBook won't boot from the Disc and DU won't run from the Disc (when I do manage to track it down there).
    I have install discs from a G4 Powerbook and a MacBookPro Unibody but I'm concerned about repairing permissions from the wrong version of DU (even if I could get the iBook to boot from those discs). Is a newer disc OK? I want to run or install DiskUtility. What are my options??
    How can I get the iBook to boot from its install disc?
    TIA your expertise...
    j2

    The installers are machine-series specific. And the Intel disc won't work
    in the PPC Mac, additionally. If you have the correct disc for that iBook,
    then you can boot the computer with the disc inside the optical drive
    and hold the C key down, until Installer appears on the screen; a second
    screen after the initial language screen has a full menu bar and Installer
    in the header; options appear in the drop-down menu lists, Disk Utility is
    among utility and other features listed in there.
    If you do not have an iBook G4 disc or an OS X disc retail version capable
    of doing the job, you really should get the correct disc. In a few instances,
    another path may work, but is not recommended. And you could lose the
    content of the hard drive in the computer you are hoping to save.
    However, you may be able to use Pacifist to get Disk Utility from the PB G4
    installer disc to be made available on the desktop of the iBook, and use
    Pacifist to install that extracted package item from the other PPC install disc.
    This does not use the installers on the disc media, so Pacifist is used to do
    the process. The iBook ideally needs a replacement disc set, and that may
    be available from Apple online store's sales support (see online phone#)
    and the product would be matched by serial number. A fee is involved.
    The original software disc set would have the correct Apple Hardware Test
    and the software kit as included when the computer was new.
    If Tiger did not ship with the computer in question, then a full retail disc 10.4
    installer could probably be used; since it would be newer than, say 10.3.9.
    In natural progression, the newer disc of correct kind & type supported by
    the computer is a possible path; however a Leopard disc won't help fix Tiger.
    You could also use Disk Utility in one PPC Mac, via FireWire Target Disk
    mode, to repair the drive of the iBook. It would only appear as a hard drive.
    So, repairing disk permissions would not be possible, on a non-boot volume.
    This, only within limits; differences in build versions of OS and custom installs
    done to a computer configuration may make doing so very limited. I would
    not expect an Intel-Mac's version of the same OS to help a PPC in any way.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IMac won't boot after trying to migrate files to macbook?

    While trying to migrate info from my IMAC to my Macbookpro all work froze on both puters. Macbook starts and runs alright. But my IMAC won't boot at all. Tried startup disc and it won't get past picking a destination because it doesn't list one.  I made a boo boo hear and need help fixing this.

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

  • Won't boot up - sleep light blinking 3 times

    Hi - I have a macbookpro - it suddenly shut down and now won't boot up. When I press the power button I hear the hardrive make a noise " tzz tzz' then nothing - except the sleep light is blinking 3 times a second every few seconds. - I've tried taking out the battery and holding down the power button - taken out the RAM - nothing.
    and of course my 90 day warranty ran out last week -
    Help gratefully appreciated....

    Hi - Thanks for your reply, I had a look round the net and found that diagnosis - I don't think it's applicable to me as the machine was up and running to start with. My girlfriend was ill in bed and watching a dvd - could this have overheated the machine and are the 3 flashes to do with this? I've since found this
    http://static.scribd.com/docs/1ek00bgxjmm4u.swf?INITIAL_VIEW=width
    which says it could be down to overheating - if so is there a way to reboot or is it a trip to the mac store ??

  • Computer Won't Boot Up

    Here is my issue, my computer one day was working fine and the next it won't boot properly.
    System Specs: Satellite T235D-S1345RD (Laptop) - Windows 7 (64bit) - BIOS 1.7 - 4gb RAM -
    I have gotten the computer booted one time. I am unsure why it did that time but did not do it another time. 
    Since that one time I put the computer in hibernate and when I tried to bring it out it told me it failed when coming out of hibernate so it went to reboot and now won't boot.
    Here are the few steps I have done to try and get it working.  When it boots up it gives me an error message (says that power failed or for some reason it did not boot)
    I have ran "Repair Computer" and it does not do anything.  I try start windows normally and it goes no where.
    So I then tried F8 and got into the Advanced Boot Menu. First one I tried was Start Windows From Last Known Good Configuration. (or something like that I forget the exact wording)
    When it does that the computer will start to boot up go to the "Windows Loading" screen and then it flashes a blue screen (there are words there but it flashes so quickly I cannot read it) and it goes back to the boot screen and acts like it is restarting and continues in that loop.
    Next step - Enter F8 again tried "Repair Computer" and it loads to a black screen with a Cursor but nothing ever happens. I have given it over 30 min and nothing happens.
    So next step- I enter F8 again and try to boot up in safe mode and again when it loads it flashes a blue screen and then nothing.
    EDIT - I found how to show the blue screen. It says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. Not sure what else I should do after I get that error message. Message Reads:
    It reads UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME and says if it's the first time I've seen the error screen, to restart the computer. Then it tells me if it appears again, to check and make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
    "If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode."
    END EDIT
    Next Step: I come to you guys here on this forum. I am a bit perplexed and lost at what to do. I wonder if this is a virus but I cannot get the computer to respond to try to get  into it to check.
    Ideas? Advice? What should I try? I can get into the F8 menu but not sure what else I should try. I will try anything to get this computer up and running!
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Hi:
    The 24 character failure ID usually indicates HDD is failing/has failed. You need to replace it with a new one.
    Specs: http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5191856/model/5...

    If you're under warranty, HP would send you replacement HDD.
    If you're not, buy any branded 2.5" SATA 9.5mm thick internal laptop HDD and replace it yourself. But HDD of at least same capacity HDD as the one that came with your laptop (640gb) so that recovery media would work -
    Go through page 56-58 in the Manual for replacement procedure. It's quite simple DIY job.
    Something like this:
    http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16822236561
    If you've not yet created the Recovery media to restore the factory settings after replacement, you have to order a set of Recovery USB from HP.
    For salvaging the data from old HDD, I suggest you take out the drive. Connect it to another PC using SATA to USB adapter - copy all the files you need.

  • Satellite m300 won't boot! please help!

    Hi,
    I've got a bit of an issue here.. I have a Satellite m300.. a white one..
    and it won't boot... I've had this very issue before but it turned out to be an external USB HDD that stopped it from booting up but now even with everything removed it still won't boot.
    And it was fine until yesterday, it just gave up.. I am away from home for work so I have all the work stuff and unfortunately without my recovery cd, but my guess is that it won't even read it..
    So this is what happens..
    turn on..
    all light come on.. including power and all the white lights around the keypad..
    and then maybe 5 sedconds later caplock and numlock(?) green lights flash..
    then it's a dead still.. no HDD activities or sound.. just dead quite..
    the screen remains black blank through out..
    it seems to get stuck here before reaching the post screen.
    i thought the power button usually took more than just a push to turn off? it instantly swithces off with a single push of the power button..
    I think this laptop is like on sleep or something and can't seem to wak up.. maybe?
    And it has vista.
    Please help.. I have some important work files I need to recover at least before formatting..
    and that has to wait till I get home which won't be for a month or so..
    which also lets me take it back for warranty as well..
    any help appreciated!!!
    cheers,

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro won't boot past blue screen

    I've been having problems booting up my MacBook. I can't get past the blue screen. It went from booting slow at the grey apple logo screen to not booting up at all. Is it a problem with my hard drive? I also have boot camp running as well, but I can still see the boot camp drive for windows and my OS X drive, as well as my installation disk when I have it inserted when I hold the option key at start up.
    I'm still able to run windows on it without any problems when I pick the windows drive. I tried different methods from different forums but I'm just not getting through. I tried holding 'c' to boot up from cd and I let it run over night but it never got past the grey apple screen with the gradient wheel (still spinning). I had already used time machine to back everything up before this happened since I was able to boot up properly (but slowly). Can anyone help? It's driving me nuts, and I can't remember what os/firmware version I'm running.

    n your signature you said you are running 10.6.3.  So let’s assume you are running Snow Leopard.
    It sounds like your diagnosis of disk problems is correct.  The OS X partition may be corrupt.
    Try booting in Safe Mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    Try again to boot in normal mode.
    If it will boot in Safe Mode but not in normal mode then you could have some 3rd-party software preventing the boot or you could have a corrupt disk or OS.
    Boot as from the startup manager (Boot - option) and then select the installation disk.
    Hopefully that will work better than starting with the Boot-C option.
    Then try to repair the system disk.
    Start the Disk Utility.
    Perform the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5836.
    If it repairs OK but still won’t boot reinstall OS X.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 15" mid-2012 won't boot in clamshell mode with an external display attached

    I have a 15" MBPr mid-2012 running OS X 10.10.1. The system won't boot in clamshell mode (power is connected, lid shut) with an external display attached via an Apple Thunderbolt->DVI adapter. it boots fine if the lid is open. It isn't the adapter or the display since my 15" MBPr mid-2014 boots up just fine connected to the same adapter and monitor. And this system used to boot like this just fine some while ago (probably before it was upgraded to Yosemite). I've reset the NVRAM (twice) to no avail.
    Has anyone encounter this? Anyone have a solution? Should I try an SMC reset (always a bit nervous about that)? Might it be a driver issue in Yosemite?
    Thanks.

  • IMac shut down suddenly and won't boot back up

    This morning my iMac shut down suddenly.  All I had open was Google Chrome and I was just on Facebook and that's it.  When I tried to boot it back up, it wouldn't load past the startup sound, wherein it would appear to shut back down,or at the very least the screen would go black (my mouse has lights that stay on when the computer is on, and the light kept going on and off while the screen remained black).  This was the case for at least a half hour until it suddenly booted itself back up all on its own.  I had it on throughout the day, just browsing the internet and watching Youtube. It shut itself down twice during the day, and both times it restarted on its own right away after showing me a grey screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar.  Now it just shut itself down again and it won't make it past the progress bar screen - if it even makes it that far, sometimes it shuts off right after it makes the startup sound.  It keeps trying to boot up on its own over and over again, but it keeps shutting down right away.  All the fixes I've searched for so far require a computer that actually boots up all the way so I don't think I could run any reports if I tried!
    I'm running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2?). 
    Model number A1311
    Not entirely sure what specs are useful to know so I'm just gonna write some of what's on the box it came in:
    3.2 GHz Intel i3 processor, 4MBshared level 3 cache
    4GB of 1333MHz DDR SDRAM
    1TB serial ATA hard drive
    ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics processor with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory
    Bought it around fall of 2010.  Not sure if it's worth trying to get it fixed (I live nowhere near an Apple store) or if I should just get a new computer, but I would like to know what's wrong, if possible.

    Try to boot into the Recover Partition by holding down the Command + R keys on startup. If it still won't boot then the HD has probably crashed. The is likely a AASP in your area, you can locate one by clicking AASP Locator, take it to one to be professional diagnosed. If it's only the HD, assuming you have been backing up, restoring to a new HD is pretty simple.

  • [865PE NEO2 PFISR] Won't boot with added memory

    Recently I upgraded a few items on my PC which has been running fine for 18 months or so. I changed out the video card and bought double the memory of the same brand and type it had in it. I went from 1gig (2 sticks) and added two more sticks. But now it won't boot. The power is on but no output whatsoever.
    I RMA'd the memory thinking that might be the problem but it's the same with the new set. I tried all sorts of memory/slot combos. Basically, the new memory works fine if you swap it out in bank A with the old stuff. That's how it's running right now, so I know all of the sticks are good. I can take a third and put it in either slot bank B and it'll boot, but obviously not run properly. But any combination of these four sticks and the system won't boot!
    Please help!
    I'm running this system:
    Win XP (SP1 I believe)
    865PE NEO2 PFISR
    P4/3.0CGHz, 800M 478P/512K HT
    DDR Corsair 512MB X4 (400)
    Dual 80gb samsung HDs running SATA
    Sapphire X800GTO 256M video card
    Antec Sonata case
    TruePower 380Watt ATX12V

    What brand, model, and speed are the RAM sticks. Did you check your Test Report booklet which came with the mobo. If you can't find it, you can go to the MSI website and look for your MOBO and get the test report that way. Some brands/models will that have been tested are shown in the report to be okay in all 4 slots, some only test okay in 2 or 3. Check this report and if it is one of the brands/model/speed tested you will see how it fared. It may well be you the MOBO doesn't like your RAM in 3 or 4 slots.
    Maybe I missed it, but did you try each slot with only one stick at a time? You may also have a bad RAM slot.

  • Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

    Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
     What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
    Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
    I have tried these:
    1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
    2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
    Thoughts and suggestions?
    Solved!
