Mbp stuck at loading screen disk0s2: media not present

My MacBook has been acting wierd lately. I've had it since sept. It used to freeze when I would open safari and now it stays stuck on the apple screen when I try to boot it. I've done a hardware test and it says everythings ok. I've also done safe boot but after the bar is done it goes back to the apple logo where the wheel just keeps spinning. When I do verbose mode I get the message disk0s2: media not present dies anybody know what I can do to fix this

Sounds like something has gotten corrupted and your OS is simply not booting. Insert your system disk and boot from it by holding the c key while powering up. Run the Disk Utility from there and do both a permissions repair and a disk repair.
If you do not have your disk handy, hold command+s while booting. At the prompt, type...
fsck -yf
Allow this to run until it gives you a clean bill of health, then type...
exit

  • Freeze at logo screen: disk0s2: media is not present

    Hi everybody!
    I know this question has already been asked, but I read all the subjects I could find about my problem and I didn't find a solution. (Sorry for my english, also, I speak French )
    So here is my problem: since yesterday, my MBP won't start. It freezes at the grey apple logo screen and I can't figure out why.
    This happened when my computer asked to restart for an update. I haven't installed anything new and my laptop worked fine until that update.
    I'm on Leopard (but I can't really tell you which version because my laptop won't start... but I keep it updated) and I have a bootcamp with windows 7 that works fine (I just can't find my documents on the mac partition (university stuff, so quite important!)).
    So, at first, I read that I had to use cmd+v to see what was happening. I tried it, and my mbp juste kept saying "disk0s2: media not present".
    I looked for that on the forums, and I read about trying to use the DVD, but the problem is that i don't have it. So in some posts, I read I had to use cmd+s and then type fsck -yf, let it run, then type exit.
    Now, I'm there: I used the cmd+s etc, and when I type exit, after letting it run fsck -yf, it keeps trying stuff, and saying
    " disk0s2: I/O error. "  then checking the ethernet address, then doing some other stuff that i don't really understand.
    I've already checked for the I/O error, but I didn't find anything helpful.
    Help??

    The internal hard drive has failed, or you have some other hardware fault. Take it to an Apple Store for repair.

  • Unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours.

    Hi, I am unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours. I did not try to update, nor load any other OS versions.  Running a Bell Canada 10.1.  Tried to pull battery, leave phone boot for 5 hours, still stuck on 99%.  I tried plugging it in BB Link and computer will not recognize it.

    Every option Im seeing is telling me Im going to lose my data... is this true? I know with other phones ppl are able to mount the device as if it were a hard drive and pull content from it... is this not possible with the Z10? Thanks...

    I'm facing the same problem here with my HP Mini, if you have a keyboard (USB) or a mouse, try to remove them & restart.

  • HT1455 My iMac stucked at loading screen( Spinning gear )..

    My iMac stucked at loading screen( Spinning gear ), i tried everything including reboot process while pressing shift key in keyboard but it is not responding, please help me with this. thanks in advance.

    You might try the following:
    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Hope this helps

  • IMac is stuck on loading screen

    Hello
    My IMac (2009 i think), was working well, no problems at all. Tonight I started it and is stuck on loading screen. I have tried holding the Shift key and still doesnt stark. What can I do?
    This morning it was working fine.
    Thanks!

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.
    Re-install if that doesn't work.

  • Macbook stuck at loading screen

    Hello,
    I need help. My mac stuck on loading screen. I've tried everything, read different threads, nothing helped. Repaired in disk utility, it said OK. Tried to reinstall Mac OS, but after content is downloaded, computer restards to install it and stucks again. Tried hardware test, but it stucks when it's almost done. Did ar resets, repairs etc. Please help me!

    If you've tried repairing the disk from the installation discs without success, you really need to try with something a little more robust. I'd suggest DiskWarrior. http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html
    If that's not an option for you, you can consider an Archive & Install which will preserve your User, settings, and files. Have a look here:

  • Ovi store stuck on loading screen (N8)

    So I have this problem lately. I instaled new ovi store app and it get stuck on loading screen everytime I try to run this app.
    I tried to reinstall it, I tried to reinstal phone soft and ovi store after and nothing changed.
    pls help me with this. I cant use ovi store at all :/  

    Ok guys, I could solve the issue with some easy steps:
    1) First, reset and restore.Do not restore backup because will restore corrupted files at the QT library, hence making the phone not working fine.
    2) Now begin setting up your Nokia account and e-mail. Restart.
    3) SW update now including ovi store. Access OVI store and update again. Restart.
    4) Now, if you access the OVI store it will get stuck on "loading", so do not do it. You need now to connect the phone to your computer and install the support software from OVI SUITE. Then, disconnect and restart.
    5) Now access OVIMAPS on your phone and setup automatic connection with your nokia account. Restart.
    6) Great. You can access OVI STORE now and download whatever you want. You can also use the backup restore if you want but doing so will block some apps from uninstalling.
    Everything is ok now. Have fun ;D

  • I downloaded ios5 an error message 3002 came up now my iphone stuck on loading screen and itunes doesnt recognize my iphone.

    i downloaded ios5 an error message 3002 came up now my iphone stuck on loading screen and itunes doesnt recognize my iphone.
    now my iphone has a blank screen for a couple seconds the loading screen appears then apple re appears.
    A REPEATING CYCLE now i have No PHONE!!!! Help ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Try it...
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    i´ve done it and worked 100%
    Good lucky

  • Ipod touch is stuck on loading screen

    My ipod touch 4 gen wont fully turn on it acts like it but is stuck on the loading screen and will not do anything when plugged in or when i try to turn it off

    - First try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect to computer and restore if you can.
    - If the loading screen still shows, let the batter fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.
