MBP Dies on Startup

So my 2006 MBP suddenly stopped working. It now gets to the startup screen with the Apple logo and spinning "cogwheel." I also see a mysterious thing below both of them that looks like an empty progress bar of some sort that I've never seen before. Sometimes it flashes on only once; sometimes its flashes several times before disappearing. But the system always dies immediately after. Not a click of shutting off, but just dying immediately like the battery was drained.
A bit of background: The problem began yesterday. I left the room for about 30 mins., and when I came bac.k, the MBP was unplugged and the battery was completely drained. I tried turning it on and the problem began. It's possible that I left it on the armrest and that it slid about 6 inches down onto the soft couchThere is also a small rattling inside it now. What's going on and how do I fix it?
Difficulty: I have no DVD/CD drive from which to boot from the install disc (long story), but I do have access to other MacBooks that I could boot it with. I've already tried a safe mode boot, holding down the power button without the adapter or the battery, resetting the NVRAM/PRAM, and starting it without the battery, but with the AC adapter plugged in. Thanks.

I can't really think of a reason that the HD would be the problem, unless a "bruise" on it from years ago has caught up with it again and that it needs to be reformatted a second time.
A brand new HD can die right out of the box; that, and anything short of it, can happen at any time, for no apparent reason. No "bruise" needed, new or old.
I also have an external HD with some Time Machine backups on it. Is there any way that I can boot from that one? Should I just reformat and go from my last backup (a few weeks old, but nothing too essential).
Yes, I would try that. Before that, however, check the SMART status of the HD in Disk Utility.
Is there a way to save everything that would be less complicated than using Target Disk Mode again, backing it all up to my external drive by plugging it into the second computer's USB port, and then sending it over?
It's possible DiskWarrior, TechToolPro, DriveGenius or a similar utility could repair it if the issue is software/directory related. If the HD is actually dying, no utility can save it. This may be the "easiest" way, but also the most expensive. Formatting and starting over will probably be more time consuming/"difficult," but won't cost you anything (unless the HD itself is dying/dead, in which case neither method will work for more than a short time, if even that; the HD will need to be replaced, which is actually cheaper than DW).

2009 17" MBP dies

unplugging USB and power cables and 2009 17" MBP dies, as if power were entirely cut, have to reboot. also seems to do this randomly when waking from sleep - won't wake up, has to reboot
17" 2009 MBP running Yosemite, all software up to date

"battery is only 3.2 years old, taking 8171 mAh"
I just removed one that was only slightly older than that and showed good in System Prefs. It would cause no wake from sleep and a no charging condition. I could test this because I have 3 batteries of this type.
"makes me wonder if there is some connection in the upper left corner, something I'm jiggling when I unplug?"
Possible, that would be the DC in board. A close inspection of that board might reveal something.
Have you reset SMC? Seems obvious and you've probably already done that.

Macbook Pro crashed after express slot usage. MBP will not startup.

Hello,
My Macbook Pro (MBP) 17" core2duo 2.8Ghz. Snow Leopard OSX10.6.3.
I use my MBP's Express card slot to transfer SxS video cards, and sometimes connect to eSata drives.
With each usage it seems to be unstable. Often when trying to eject card or adaptor it crashes showing a, turn off and restart computer message.
So I would restart computer, and I continue on. I was kind of used to this,,,
But this time around, my system did not start up after the reboot. It showed a "non-smoking sign without the cigarette" Sorry I don't know what you calll these. I think it means can't find system folder?
I hope someone can point me to a fix.
I did a PRam reset about 3 times. but no change.
I did a safe boot, and ran disk utility permissions and there were pleanty of wrong permissions... So I fixed that twice, the same permissions seemed to be wrong again. I don't know if it really fixed anything...
And I also tried to set startup disk to the internal hard disk. I don't know if that really made a difference...
I then relaunched it as a disk drive to read it on another mac, and ran disk utilities and it reported nothing is wrong with this disk...
Will reverting back to a time machine save do anything? Might give it a try.
I remember way back when I bought this MBP, One of the first trial with the SxS gave me the same "non-" sign on startup, that I fixed. So I know there is a fix, I just couldn't find it on the forum.
I hope I get my MBP running soon!
Thanks in advance for the help!

...it crashes showing a, turn off and restart computer message...
That is called a Kernel Panic. More here.

Correct.
Solutions:
Disconnect all peripherals. Start the computer with the Option key pressed. After a few seconds you will see the availale bootable systems. select with the arrow keys and press Return. If you can get the OS to load, go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399. Download and install the combo Update.. Restart as normal.

MBP dies while updating - can't reinstall

After rebooting to finish the install for 10.4.7, all I got was a blue screen that stuck there. I could boot single user and lauch Finder as root from the console, but I couldn't boot it normally or log in normally. I tried just about everything under the sun, including all of the stuff from the Apple Support pages.
So, I gave up and decided to reinstall. I hit "Archive & Install" because I can't lose the data on it (yes, I have backups, but the more recent the better). It went through that, and then rebooted to install the stuff from Disc 2. While running the postflight script for iDVD, it just dies with "postflight[xxx]: no matching processes found" in the log and just sits there, forever. I tried reinstalling several times.
So I go back to the beginning and try to redo it all again. This time, it gets to running the install script for "Mac OS X" and sits there repeating "socket is not connected" in the log.
I gave up and just tried an Erase & Install, and the same thing happens every time. I can't even reinstall. I'm out of ideas.
MacBook Pro, 1.83 15" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am using the software that came with my MBP. I don't have any other. One of the first things I did was verify the disk with disk utility, and hardware test was okay. The 'verifying your installation media' part passes, and the 'verifying destination volume' part passes. I can see nothing physically wrong with the media, and I find it hard to believe the HDD suddenly failed right as I was installing 10.4.7.
Not trying to shoot you down, just hoping that it's software (which makes sense so far) because I don't have access to an Apple Retail Store and I don't really want to have to deal with sending it to Texas.

2010 15" MBP Freezing at startup

About an hour and a half ago when I activated it from sleep, the screen flickered and logged me off. I logged in and the same thing happened again.
I used Disk Utility to verify the disk and DU said the hard disk needs to be repaired.
So, I put my OSX disk in and had to restart in order to use disk utility on it.
However, when I restarted, my MBP wouldn't get past the startup screen.
After looking the issue up online, I tried booting into safe mode and booting straight off the DVD, to no avail.
Finally, I tried booting in single-user mode, and it doesn't get past
"Loading System\Library\Caches\com.apple.kext.caches\Startup\Extensions.mkext......"
Any help?

I don't know whether your data can be saved. If you have another Mac with a Firewire port, you may be able to copy data off the internal drive by starting up in Firewire target mode. Otherwise, remove the drive and install it in an external enclosure or dock. They may be willing to do that for you at the Apple Store; I'm not sure. The first order of business when you get it back should be to set up a regular backup solution for all your data.

How to center MBP pointer on startup (relocated)?

Following someone's advice (S.U. wrote: "I have no idea myself, but if you don't get an answer here, you might try your question in the Leopard forum which is where there might be more software experts. Good luck!"), I decided to relocate my previous post on "How to use your MacBook Pro", which goes as follows:
Hi guys (and ladies)!
New on this forum, I confess I didn't have much time to prowl it in search for an answer to the question in the tittle of this post. I apologize for this, but the question itself is pretty straightforward: I'd like my TrackPad pointer to appear in the center of the screen on startup, the way it does on... err, um, you know, the OS from Redmond... You know?
I find it a hassle to have to dislodge it from its upper left corner every time I boot up my MBP, especially considering it takes several attempts to move it, with the Apple menu usually appearing when all I need is to click on a Dock icon...
I read somewhere that an AppleScript could be devised that would remedy to my problem, but I'm not fluent in AppleScript, so if you guys suggest something along this route, please make it understandable for the newbie that I am!
Thanks in advance...
PS: I'm on Tiger, but I gather an AppleScript's an AppleScript, right...?

Hi Didier Calzergues;
I have no ideas of how to solve your problem but I am going to suggest you repost here. Where I am sending you is the Automator section of Tiger since that it the operating system you are using.

MBP late 2007 startup problem - Help!

I have an MBP from Nov. 07 that only displays the magnifying glass search icon upon startup. When I restarted in safe mode, I download the latest firmware update and installed it carefully following the instructions. When my computer automatically restarted, it still only displayed the magnifying glass search icon. So here I am in safe mode, without a clue what to do to fix my poor MBP. Help!

If it starts up fine in "safe" mode, amandamuses, it is very unlikely to be a hardware issue (though there are a couple of situations where airport card or bluetooth problems can cause such things) .
If it isn't directory corruption, (follow the process with Disk Utility suggested by PBookie but "Repair Disk" as well as "repairing permissions"), then my next step, before checking things like RAM, would be an "Archive and Install" of the OS. THis will usually resolve situations where a computer will start in "Safe" mode , but not in the normal fashion.
If you have any peripherals attached (especially third party keyboards or mice, USB hubs, external hard drives etc) you should also disconnect them while you are "troubleshooting".
Cheers

MBP slow after startup after Time Machine restore process.

Hello all,
I have a 2.4 ghz MBP and was dual booting Ubuntu hardy and Leopard using the rEFit boot manager. I got tired of Ubuntu and decided to go back to a single OS. I reinstalled OS X erasing all data on the HDD, and then restored from a Time Machine back-up. Since then, start-up is very slow. I get a bright white/grey screen that last about 6-10 seconds before the apple logo appears and the chime sounds. I thought it might be a bad TIme Machine back-up so i tried a different one. I had no luck with this method, or repairing disk permissions etc. in Disk Utility.
What is causing this change in start-up time?
Can i fix it?
Any help is much appreciated THANKS!!

I know it may sound goofy, but worth a try...
Many times after erasing my Windows / Bootcamp partition I experienced extremely slow startups. What I found to fix that was to open System Preferences -> Startup Disk and make sure your Mac OS X is selected for the default to startup your system. Anytime I experienced this problem, Mac OS X was not selected.
Hope it works for this also.

MBP dies when I unplug power cord

Anyone have any ideas? The battery wasn't in the best shape, it had "check battery" for about a year now.
Of course, Apple refused to do anything for me, as it's out of warranty. Until last week I was getting maybe an hour out of it. But ever since upgrading to 10.5.7 last week, as soon as I disconnect the power-cord, 1 sec later, the laptop just dies, requiring a reboot.
Tried resetting PRAM and the PMU/SMC. Reinstalled 10.5.7.
Here's the bat info:

"The battery wasn't in the best shape, _it had "check battery" for about a year now. "_
Why did you wait so long for help?
Try the following:
HD/System/Library/SystemConfiguration & look for a file called batteryupdater.bundle. Select Get Info for the file.
If its version number is 1.2 or 1.3 you should be fine If not, or if you cannot locate a batteryupdater.bundle file (by using Spotlight, searching manually or using a 3rd party search feature) then download an update from Apple's website & install it. *If installing has no effect, you probably need a new battery.*
Your battery may be replaced for free. Take your computer to an Apple Store. _The staff will be able to check to determine if your model MBP qualifies for the free battery program._
MacBook and MacBook Pro Battery Update 1.2 Or you can take your case up w/Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775.
Good luck!

MBP freezes at startup after several crashes

I have an older MBP, I think it's a 2008 running Snow Leopard. I am backed up. Computer screen started glitching while watching videos online and would freeze (screen would glitch strangely, I could move the mouse but nothing on the screen was responsive). I'd have to manually power down and at first it would restart if I'd insert the installation disk and boot into startup manager and select hard drive. But after a few more crashes it will not boot at all. I've removed the hard drive and used another MBP to repair disk, hard drive appears to be fine but the computer still wont boot. I don't believe it is a hard drive problem. In fact I'm having the same startup issues with 2 hard drives (both with the same version of snow leopard) installed internally. What happens at startup is the apple logo appears, spinning wheel appears but it stops spinning and it doesn't seem to go any further. This happens when I try to boot from install disk or boot into startup manager or into disk utility and even when trying to startup in Apple Hardware Test. Spinning wheel stops then nothing.
I have tried resetting nvpram. I have been able to boot into verbose mode but it appears to freeze up again after a short amount of time. I tried booting into safe mode and the progress bar showed quickly then spinning wheel stops again. My original plan was to do a fresh install of the OS and do a time machine backup but the comp won't start in any mode.
Does anybody have any ideas what I could do to fix this problem?

It unfortunately sounds like it could be what's called an "intermittent generic fault." I use a product called Scannerz (http://scsc-online.com/Scannerz.html) and in some of their documentation they describe this type of fault. Scannerz can actually test and detect this type of problem if it's in the development process, but the system needs to at least be bootable, and it doesn't sound like your's is. I think it's described in their downloadable document about hard drive testing.
An "intermittent generic fault" is essentially a crack or separation in a logic board trace or connection, or intermittent connection in a cable, or even the connection itself. If it's in the logic board, such as in a cracked trace or a marginal solder connection that went bad, it may get worse with more CPU activity because it causes the heat in the unit to go up, cracks in traces or solder joints expand, and a disconnect occurs. This might explain your video glitch. According to them, if this is the problem, it typically gets worse over time until the system becomes unusable. If it's in an I/O cable it can be easily fixed by replacing the I/O cable, but if it's in the logic board, it basically means you need a new logic board. Intermittent connections with something plugged into the logic board may also cause this type of erratic behavior. Sometimes just re-seating connectors can do the job. I've personally seen this type of problem happen when Airport cards on the old PPC based Aluminum PowerBooks worked their way loose - reseat them and the problem goes away.
Another thing you could also try is the PM reset. It might work because I've seen it mess up booting, but that wouldn't explain the erratic lock-ups you got with the video. Some of the MacBook Pro's have a diagnostics connector connected to them and Apple can apparently connect diagnostic equipment to the unit to diagnose a whole host of problems, but I don't know if your system has this feature because it's relatively new.
I hope this helps you in some way, and good luck.

MBP stalls on startup if ethernet is connected

Hi there,
I've a 15" MBP from early 2009 (5,1) running Mountain Lion which is acting flaky, especially on startup. It clocks at 2.4GHz and carries 8GB of RAM.
Specifically, the MBP gets stuck on the grey startup screen with a spinning "wait" graphic if I plug in my ethernet cable. It sometimes happens if I plug in a FW disk or USB device too, but it ALWAYS gets stuck when I plug in the cable.
I've searched around a bit, but this seems to be a relatively obscure issue. Does anyone here have an idea, or better yet, a solution?
Thanks in advance!

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.
Step 1
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. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
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 this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Dispatcher dies after startup - sapdb / libpcr

We have a NW04 server on Windows whose primary purpose is as an XI hub.
It was recently moved from one network to another (same machine name) and initially worked properly, but is now not starting up.
I just had to extend the data volume, as it was full, if thats of any relevance.
It seems to be having issue loading "libpcr". I did some searches, and re-registered the library, as well as setting the SABDBLIBDIR env variable. To no avail.
Here's the trace of dev_w3, which seems to be the first process that dies:

If you are running a Mac OS X prior to Lion v10.7, you could try booting from your install disc and repairing the startup disk with Disk Utility but it may not be able to repair the disk.

MBP Frozen on Startup-Was reinstalling OS, lost power during a storm :(

Hey everyone,
I have a 2007 Macbook Pro that's giving me some trouble.
BACKGROUND
1. The battery on this thing is dead—in fact, it became bloated and no longer fit into the casing. Before this issue, I was using it without a battery and simply plugging it in.
2. As a result, when the power source was removed (kicked out, etc). the laptop would simply shut down.
3. As far as I know, it was running the most updated version of software prior to this incident.
ISSUE
Here's what happened:
I was updating the computer to iOS 10.5 (Snow Leopard—I bought the OS as soon as it came out, so it's an early version). It was plugged into a wall, and was about 97% finished (I kid you not) and the power went out suddenly.
Since then, it's been stuck on the grey bootup screen. I hear the bootup sound, screen goes to grey, up pops an Apple logo, the loading circle, and then...it stays there. The loading circle just chases its tail. I've tried letting it sit there for at least four hours—no change.
And to make things more interesting, the Snow Leopard CD is stuck in the optical drive.
FIXES
Here's what I've tried so far:
Fix attempt 1 (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=151364)
• Restart your Mac holding down "Command(the Apple key)+S" key to enter 'Single user mode'.
• Type "fsck -f", and hit return.
• Once complete type "reboot" and hit return to reboot you Mac back in to OS X as normal.
RESULT: None that I can see. Still sits on startup screen.
*OTHER INFORMATION*
I have external firewire drives, but don't have the OS installed on them for two reasons.
One, I use them as photography archives and am unsure if I would need to reformat the drive completely in order to install the OS.
Two, the CD is stuck inside the Macbook Pro.
*MY QUESTIONS*
1. What are some other fixes I can try? Please post links to pertinent threads or write below. Thanks.
2. I would like to try booting from an external hard drive. Can somebody tell me how to do this without wiping my external drives?
3. Is there a way to remove the OS install disk, like holding down a certain key combination or entering in code from Single User Mode?
Thanks everybody.

First, try booting while holding down the option key. If no luck, see below.

10.6, Snow Leopard. It's from the installation disc
The optical drive was working prior to this, because it was installing the OS just fine. It was just about finished, only 1-3% to go and that's when the power went out.
That's what I was wondering. Ok, normally I wouldn't think an SMC reset would be relevant here, but I wonder if something is different due to no battery.
Try this:
Shut down
Disconnect the power adapter from the computer
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds
Release the power button
Reconnect the power adapter
Press the power button to turn on the computer and see if it boots
If not, repeat the process, but this time hold down the c key while booting
If not, repeat the process, but this time hold down the option key while booting
