MBP Retina won't turn on OSX, but will turn on Windows 7?

So when I turn on my Macbook Pro Retina, it boots up as normal, (the white background with the Apple logo) but then a progress bar appears at the bottom, as if it were updating. It loads to barely anything, then disappears and shows the spinning loading symbol, then turns off.
But when i hold option while booting, i can select Windows 7, which im on right now, and it will boot up perfectly fine.
I've tried an SMC reset and turning on both plugged and not plugged in.
Worked perfectly fine last night
Standard 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display: 2.6GHz with Mountain Lion, by the way

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.
See OS X v10.6- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup.

  • My iphone volume turns down randomly own its own. It will turn up on the buttons, but will turn back down by itself and i have to fight the volume to keep it from muting. Plus, the mute logo stays on the screen when it mutes itself. Please help.

    Unfortunately this is probably a hardware issue and you will need to take it to an Apple Store.

  • How do I eject a DVD that just keeps turning in drive but will not eject?

    How do I eject a DVD that just keeps turning in drive but will not eject?

    check out Kappy's user tip:
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following: /usr/bin/drutil eject.
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above.
    To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

  • MBP retina won't recognize Lexar USB 3.0 reader.  Any ideas why?

    USB ports mount regular USB devices on MBP Retina but will not recognize cards/reader.  Card reder is a Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual Slot Reader Reader. Any idea why it is not recognized?
    thanks

    Welcome to being a Beta tester but whatever you do call Apple HQ and give them **** for they make a big thing about how their products simply work. Well it does not. I have a problem with USB 3.0 with my PCIe card on my MacPro is a way I do not have with the same card on my HP Z800.
    Apple customer support are good but don't let them get off the hook. I cancelled my Retina because I began to read problem with USB 2.0 and other problems.
    However I do have an idea there are Thunderbolt breakout boxes that offer USB3.0 and eSATA too. Maybe that will do the trick BUT for Apple to have a USB3.0 issue is disgraceful when my ugly HP simply works. Seriously this is not new technology.
    It's Apple not Lexar who need to own this problem. Far to expensive for this and Lexar are hardly unknown.

  • New MBP retina won't charge

    I bought my MBP retina (base model) on Saturday morning, and haven't plugged it in until this evening. Battery was sitting at 18%. When I plug it in to the 85W MagSafe power adapter, it does not charge. Specifically, the battery icon states: "Battery is not charging. Power Source: Power Adapter"
    I've plugged the power adapter into multiple outlets with the long cable and the wall wart, and the result is the same. Thoughts? I wouldnt think I would have to restore the battery settings on the first go round...

    If this were an ancient and well thumbed computer, we could spew tons of DIYs to try and coax the thing to charge. However, it is completely unacceptable on a new computer of this price.
    Back up anything you have of value in it, pack it up in its box and back it goes to the store. And don't leave the place till you have a properly charging Mac, be it this one or a new unit. You do have a 14 day no questions asked return policy.

  • Ethernet no worky in osx but does in parallels windows

    I have a MBP 17" and cannot use the ethernet connection in OSX. Try to visit a web page and it says that I'm not connected to the internet. I have tried everything I can figure to get it to work to no avail. The weird thing is, I have parallels installed and a vm with Win XP Pro and while I have no connection to the internet in OSX I can browse and do anything inside Windows running inside OSX.
    Also, while I have the ethernet cable in it locks up my wireless internet connection in OSX.
    Luckily I have wireless at the office but can't get to the network printer via OSX using wireless.
    Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

    Well.. i have thought of that after i read the Repair Program news.. but again.. in windows it runs everything.. Crysis 3 in highest res.. No screen errors wich i read should be the sign of a damaged card..
    No heat problems either.. in OSX it never gets hot.. because of the non-use.. and in windows it warms up fine and keeps fine at 50degrees with half fan speed.. and cools down emidiatly after I exit games..

  • Imported Songs Won't Play in iTunes, but will on iPod

    I recently imported many songs from a hard drive into my iTunes library. I then updated my iPod with these additions. The songs play on my iPod but will not play in iTunes, or allow me to create a playlist containing these songs. I get a message saying that "the song _______ could not be used because the original file could not be found."
    When I reconnect the hard drive, the songs play, but when it is disconnected, they won't. I tried to "authorize computer", but that didn't do anything.
    Any suggestions for how to fix this issue?
    Thanks.

    Are you saying you have music on an external drive and it won't play if the drive is not plugged in?
    You are not very clear with your question, but I wonder if you tried to add them to your library on your internal drive. If so take a look at:
    Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General
    Is "Copy files to Itunes Music folder when adding to library" checked? If not the songs would be left on the external drive.
    If this is the case, you could plug in your external drive and then consolidate your library. This will copy ALL files not in your iTunes Music folder into the iTunes Music folder.
    If you intentionally keep some of your music outside the iTunes Music folder you may want to think about the implications before using Consolidate.

  • HP Officejet 4620 won't copy or scan but will print

    My HP Officejet 4620 all in one printer won't copy or scan, but it will print.  When trying to scan, my computer first shows a window "preparing to scan" then it changes to a window "scanner unreachable".  When trying to copy the printer indicates "now copying page 1/1" but it never produces a copy.  The light never goes across the flat glass, photographing the image to be scanned or copied.

  • Superdrive won't play burned audio, but will play store ones

    Superdrive in  late  2008 Macbook pro won't play audio from burned cd, but will play store ones
    burned CD will play on other Mac's including late 2011 Macbook pro

    The problem is 2 fold.
    You must use good quality Media. Not bargin basement cheap media. This more than any other thing is a huge problem. I find that using 16X DVD-R Media. This is the most recognised of all media for player, and computer recognition.
    Most users make there biggest mistake by buying cheap media and then can't fiqure out why they have a problem.
    Next It is a Software problem. Apple's media can sometimes be a problem to learn and use and is very limited as to it's capability.
    I find that if you plan on doing a lot of burning you need to have a top of the line software.
    http://www.roxio.com/
    This software comes with several features, This software will burn
    Video TS
    Audio
    Data
    And most importantly has an automatic compression feature, that will compress Video TS folders that are larger than 4.7gb to fit on a standard 4.7gb disc.
    If you plan to do dvd burning here are 3 links that will not only back up what I have stated above, but gives all users a ton of important information.

  • After Update printer won't print to pages but will to emails

    My iMac Intel did an update and since it was done my printer won't print for pages but if I print an email it will print. 

    Update Pages to the most up-to-date version and then restart the computer while resetting the PRAM. If you don't know how to do a PRAM reset, please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets. If that does not fix it then  please post back and we can take some other steps.

  • Apple TV won't load or play movies from my MBP library (through both airplay and homesharing), but will from my mac mini. Help!

    I have been using my apple TV seamlessly with all my apple products (Mac Mini, iphone, MBP, ipad). Everything worked perfectly until recently (I noticed the issue about 3 weeks ago), when the apple TV won't load and play any movies from my iTunes library located on my MBP. The Library loads, and I can see everything, but as soon as I press play, the spinning load icon appears and doesn't stop. Same when I play movie from itunes directly and send it via airplay. Desktop mirroring no problem.
    I have checked, and films are being played perfectly from my other devices, as does airplay and mirroring

    Hello Tourneurm,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    This article might be of use for your issue.
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    Section 8 seems to be most applicable.
    8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
    For Apple TV to access your library while the host computer is asleep, "Wake for network access" must be turned on.
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and select (enable) the "Wake for network access" option.
    In addition, the network that the host computer and the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) is connected to must support Wake on Demand feature. This works by partnering with a service running on your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
