MacbookPro5,5 with Corsair F240 SSD does not boot

I've bought a Corsair F240 SSD to replace my old HD.
After installing it physically, I have been able to install OS X Snow Leopard.
I started software update afterwards, but that crashed.
After each boot, I now get a blank screen (without the grey apple logo).
Restarting (power or CTRL-Command-Power) doesn't help.
If I insert a DVD, it does spin up initially, but there is no change in the blank screen.
I've tried waiting a long time (15 minutes), but the screen stays blank.
I've tried resetting PRAM (Command-option-R-P)
I prefer not to reset SMC (this requires removing the battery which has a label with the instruction not to remove it)
When I put my old HD back, it boots fine.
Any suggestions?

Hi Roger,
I was able to install OS X just fine. I've started disk utility from the DVD, formatted, installed OSX, etc.
This all succeeded.
I was able to submit my personal details, wireless network pw, the welcome video showed, and afterwards I got a desktop.
My first action was to start software update. At 25% this crashed. I had to power down by pressing the power button for 5 seconds.
From that moment on the problem exists.
After boot it gives me a blank screen (no apple logo).
No use entering the installation DVD, it doesn't start, the screen stays blank.
I actually need to mount my old HD to be able to remove the installation DVD.
I really have no clue what to try next...

  • Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO does not boot

    Hello everyone
    Yesterday I tried to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 but I got stuck because I have an Intel SSD inside and it seems that MacOSX 10.8 doesn't have the right driver on board. So I downloaded the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool 2.0.6 ISO, burned it on a CD with DiscUtility and tried to boot from it.
    The problem is that it doesn't boot from the CD. It just ends with the blinking/flashing question mark folder.
    Luckily I have a second MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 from work. Just out of couriosity I inserted the disk inside this MacBook and tried to boot from it.
    Everything went fine. I saw the Intel Firmware Updater etc.
    So now my question: What is going on with my first mac? Why does it NOT boot the CD?
    What I need to say at this point: I burned the CD with the MacBook from work. Could this be the reason?
    hope someone can help me
    Best Regards
    krebbl

    yes that's right. Unfortunatly I don't have a Windows PC.
    But like I said, my second MacBook Pro boots from this CD and shows me the firmware updater. My first MacBook with the Intel SSD does not.
    And like in the post here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57575091-263/intel-x25-ssd-incompatible-wit h-os-x-10.8.3/ it should be no problem.
    Are there other ways to boot an ISO file?

    I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

    Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
    As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
    Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

    As well I heard that because of the customization issues in T.Code BMV0, the above error has raised. 
    Also please note that we can define as well schedule jobs from the above transaction and the corresponding data is stored in the table TBICU

    Clarification Required
    Assume that I have defined a job using BMV0. Is that mandatory to use the same job in SM37/SM36 for scheduling?
    Is the above question valid?

    Bill:  Can you suggest a site?  I am in the weeds here trying to get this done yesterday.  I have been reading code and trying to figure this out since yesterday morning.  I have to roll out this image to 2 dozen machines and
    this is holding us back.  Any idea which site I can post to for help?
    The bigger issue is that you have been given the answer to this in many different forms and, because you have no technical background, you fail to see what is being shown to you.  That is why I have repeatedly suggested that you hire a consultant.
    The link to the learning material is at the top o this page.  You can also search the web for Windows consultants.
    In the learning link you can also look up how to manage files. If, in the beginning you had chosen to use the learning materials you might not be in this bind.
    Look up and research the FileSystemObject.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still?!

    When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still. So I need to hold down the keyboard while i open it. Other than that it works fine despite the fact that the fan noise some times is loud and sometimes it's getting warm at the base. I wonder if this can be fixed if i go to one of the apple branches.

    Yes. Take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.

  • Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

    Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not  acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
    My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
    Please help me.

    I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
    You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
    When you go to the iTunes download page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
    After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
    It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
    I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
    The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
    The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

    My Mac OS Lion 10.7 FileVaulted HD does not boot, prohibitory sign, stop sign appears some minutes after boot starts. Disk Utility repair shows four error messages:
    Unable to bootstrap transaction group 2517: inconsistent crosscheck
    No valid commit checkpoint found
    The volume xxxxxxxxxxxxxx(here it shows physical volume number) was found corrupt and can not be repaired.
    Problems were encountered during repair of the partition map

    (the same with 2518, 2519 and 2520 transaction group)
    I suppose it is serious bug in Mac OS Lion managing FileVault and wonder what the help could be?

    Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
    Best of luck

  • Graphical mapping issue with useOneAsMany if segment does not exist

    Hi all
    I have an issue with graphical mapping in an IDoc to file scenario. I need to have header level fields mapped to line item fields. Whether or not and how many source header segments of the same type exist depends on a qualifier (QUALF). This is generally working if I use the following graphical mapping:
    if QUALF = 001 then <source>  ->  removeContext  ->  useOneAsMany  ->  splitByValue  ->  <target>
    ... with setting QUALF, <source>, and the second input for the useOneAsMany to the highest possible context node.
    Nevertheless, if the segment with the qualifier 001 does not exist in the source then the mapping throws the error "Too few values in first queue in fuction useOneAsMany". Whatever I've tried, the mapping wants to execute the useOneAsMany statement anyway and I haven't found a way to omit this. Whether the target would be created with an empty value or not created at all would be secondary. Would eventually somebody have a solution to this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    Daniel,
    try using mapWithDefault function before useAsmany
    if QUALF = 001 then <source> -> removeContext -> <b>MapwithDefault</b>->useOneAsMany -> splitByValue -> <target>
    I think it takes care even if the value occur in the contaxt or.

    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.
