MBP Stuck at white loading screen

So I forgot my password and went and created a new user account using the command prompt method and what not. So of course I wouldn't access my files cause of permissions. I enabled root user and started deleting folders (music and such to regain storage space) when I decided to apply the root access to the drive its self (I'm guessing this was a bad move) after a few minutes a bunch of pop ups appeared saying (.....cant be used). What it looked like was to me was drivers? But I don't really know. Did I essentially brick the unit or can I buy a retail copy of Leopard and reinstall it that way?
Any light would be helpful.
Thanks!

Ah. Its a MBP 3.06ghz- 4GB Ram and 500gb hd with 10.6.2 on it. Yes I have lost my restore AND Snow Leopard update disk..just moved and may have left it else were =(
Not good. I would put a big effort into finding them. There's very little you can do without them. If you had a disk, you could Archive and Install to hopefully bring your system back to normal.
Anyways- Is it possible to pop out the hard drive and plug it into another mac and fix the permissions?
You could hook up to another Mac using Target Disk Mode and do a Disk Repair but if you deleted critical system files it probably won't help.With out the disk, you could run fsck on that drive as mentioned in the last link.
Also, You could try this; Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode.
And here is What is Safe Mode.

MacBook pro stuck on white loading screen, help please.

Hi guys, yesterday I was playing on my MacBook pro and all of a sudden the screen went black and it turned off. Once trying to turn my laptop back on it was just stuck on the white loading screen with the appe logo and loading wheel. I've been surfing around the forum and tried some things that others have said worked for them but none seems to work for me, so I decided to create a question so I can get more personal help. I don't have any installation CDs for the MacBook, either which I know makes things more difficult but hopefully ill be able to solve this some other way. Please help if you can!

I can't help the other person, it's a old post and it sounds like they had a hardware issue anyway, which we can't fix here.
If you can start a new discussion in the MacBook forum and describe your problem in detail, perhaps we can assist.
The system works via email responses/notification and rewards points, but only for the original poster.

MBP stuck on the loading screen

My MBP is stock on the loading screen white with the grey apple I tried some thugs but nothing works and I can't find the CD whatelse can I do??
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks!!

Try booting in Safe Mode (hold Shift key down when booting). Also, you could try this:
Run fsck.
1. Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down.
2. At the command line type the following and hit 'Return.'
/sbin/fsck -fy
3. If it finds a problem and repairs it, immediately run fsck again until the drive checks OK.
4. After it has check/repaired your disk, type 'reboot' and hit 'Return' again.

Imac G5 stuck on white loading screen with gray apple and spinning wheel

I purchased this imac from a rebutable seller on ebay. He obviously had it working before he sent it to me, and he has been helpfull the whole way through, so I am positive this computer is not junk. When I recieved it, I plugged it in and turned it on, at first nothing would show up on the screen and the fans came on. Then, I contacted the seller and he told me to hold the shift key while turning it on. That did work to some extent. Now when I turn it on, it is stuck on the white screen with the gray apple and the spinning wheel. He had just updated and installed EVERYTHING imaginable so I am positive everything is up to date. I am not sure what to do, I have researched this but I cannot seem to find an answer. Oh, and even know on the white screen the fans turn on. It is quite weird.
Well, I hope someone can help. Thank you.

Call AppleCare. You should not be having problems with a brand-new machine.

Stuck at white loading screen

Hi,
I bought a new Macbook in december and so far it has been working flawlessly.
This morning, however, I turned it on but it wouldn't load past the white screen with the Mac logo and the spinning wheel. I've tried leaving it for ½ hour and restarted it several times but nothing seems to work.... Does anyone know what could the problem could be?

You should try to start up in safe boot mode and see if you can reach the standard desktop that way.
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this:
Be sure the computer is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
If you can boot into safe mode then you should then run Apple's Disk Utility and see if your startup disk needs repair. Disk Utility is located in /Applications/Utilities.
You can read about safe boot mode in the Apple Support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
-- and --
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
If you still can't get to the desktop you should boot from your Mac OS X installation DVD and run the Disk Utility from there. Take your Mac OS X install DVD and see if you can boot from that. However, follow these steps:
1.) Completely shut down your MacBook.
2.) Take your original Mac OS X Install DVD and while the MacBook is still turned off insert the DVD into the DVD/CD drive slot (it won't "snap" into place, just insert it gently as far as it will go into the slot).
3.) Press the power-on button while holding down on the "c" key, continue to hold the "c" key down until you see the Apple logo on your screen (this will force the MacBook to boot from the install DVD).
Note, if you do get into the install program and after you select the installation language you can run the Disk Utility which will appear under the "Utilities" menu item on the installation "Welcome" screen.
After you run the Disk Utility you can quit that utility and return to the installer and quit from the installer which will restart your MacBook using its internal hard disk (what I mean is you don't have to install a new version of Mac OS X just because you've booted into the install program). In case you need to eject the DVD on the next restart try holding down on the mouse button (trackpad click) which should eject the DVD before it tries to reboot into the DVD's installation utility.

Late (October) 2008 MBP stuck at white boot screen

Howdy!
Several days ago, my MacBook (running mountain lion, though his problem started before I upgraded from lion) started lagging on and off. I would click on something simple (like clicking an Internet link, or an item in the menu bar), and sometimes it would work, fine, and other times, it would take up to ten minutes or so to complete the task! So I did some research to find out what could be causing this, and ended up finding out (via SMART utility) that my hard drive had some bad sectors, and was failing. So I was just planning on replacing it, but last night, Andrew shutting my computer down, and then tried rebooting it. Then my worst (techi) nightmere came true. The drive spun up, fans turned on, the screen turned white/gray, and it made the "Dooooooo" startup sound, and that's all. It just hanged there. I let it sit like that for well over an hour, and nothing changed. When I press the power button, I don't have to hold it for several second to turn it off, I just have to tap it, and it shutdown. I tried clearing Pram, and that caused it to reboot, so I know it's getting a signal from the keyboard, but that didn't have any effect.
What is this indicative of? I don't think it's tr hard drive because it does it even when it's removed. I'd read that some people had their graphics card give out, thus requiring that the logic board be replaced, but they usually had different symptoms.
Help!
Thank!
Paul

HELP PLEASE!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

My White Macbook is stuck at the loading screen, and disk utility, safe mode doesn't work either. What should I do?

I went on vacation a few days ago and in El Salvador, they have this mobile broadband sticks. Well, I was using one until it gave me a network error. After that, it shut down my computer entirely. The first time it happened, I didn't think much of it. I took the battery out and put it back in for it could work. It happened another two times, and after the third time, my MacBook stays stuck at the loading screen, and it will take 5-10 minutes on that screen, before it shuts down, or it wouldn't turn on at all. I've tried booting into safe mode, but it appears to not boot into it. I've tried resetting the Pram, and using disk utility, but that still won't work. I don't know what else to do to make it boot into OS X Lion.
I'm an AP student, and the majority of my work is in that computer, and it is very important! What can I do? Not only that, but I enter school in a few weeks and I need the AP work by the time I enter.
What can I do? Can someone help?
Thanks

Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
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. Alterhatively, 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: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Stuck at white startup screen

ok so my hard disk recently became full unexpectedly so I downloaded a few applications to clear out the small unneeded files that just take up disk space.
Upon clearing out the files, I think the program might have deleted some vital files because when I tried to restart my computer and it's now stuck at the white loading screen with the grey apple.
I tried to shut it back on and back off, I removed it from the power cord and I removed and put the battery back in. I also put my Snow Leopard installation disc back in in attempt to re-install the operating system and replace the deleted files, but I can;t get past the white screen and now I can;t get the disc out.
Is there anything I can do tonight to fix the problem, or will I just have to wait until I can bring it into the store? I have some files i need to access tonight because I have a big exam tomorrow so it's pretty urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Press the Power Button and immediately press and hold down the Command and the S keys as the machine starts up. This boots you into Single-user mode and you should see white text appear on the screen.
When you see the # Command prompt, type /sbin/fsck-fy and hit the Return.
Now sit back & let your computer do its thing. This should take approximately 15 minutes or so. Depending on how messed up your computer is. Just be patient.
If and when you see the message File System was modified repeat the steps above again & again until you hopefully see the message no problems were found." When that happens type reboot and hit Return again.
If these steps do not work then boot from your install disc to repair disk. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.

Macbook Pro won't load past white loading screen when turned on after kernel panics

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro and recently its been having repeated kernel panics. In the past few days its been turning off every few minutes or so. yesterday it had one and now when I try to turn it on it doesn't load. I get the white loading screen with the apple logo and a loading bar underneath. But after the bar fills about 5% of the way (if that) the bar just disappears and the spinning loading icon just keeps going without anything happening (however long I leave it).
Please can someone give me some suggestions to fix this. Just a few things to note:
a) I'm not great with computers so any fixes please explain in the most simple terms
b) I have VERY important work files on there that are NOT backed up (big mistake I know), so please only suggest fixes that will not remove these Microsoft Word files. Guaranteeing the safety of my work is paramount with any suggestions.
c) I may not have any of the disks which came with the Macbook Pro originally (though I may somewhere)
d) I've read some other forum posts and it seems that I need to know the details of my operating system. I don't know these and have no way of accessing them on the computer (for obvious reasons). Its a late 2011 Macbook Pro if that is of any help.
A massive thank you to anyone who can suggest a fix to these, I shall be eternally grateful.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.

c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to boot from an external drive, or else to use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem.

Forever White Load Screen

My ibook has had a glitchy LCD for sometime. Only works if you bend it a certain way, or tilt the machine...
But the machine itself has been fine, save for a dead combo drive
Anyway, I tried booting it up this week to check on it, and it work per the usual, but then when I restarted it again, I've been stuck on the white load screen, and it just spins forever never fully booting up.
Is there a key command where I can boot it up maybe "extentions off" like the old days?
I dunno, looks like I've got a 6lb paperweight on my hands. And its too expensive to fix considering I can get a working model for about $550 bucks with a 90 day warranty through resellers.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Check out the Apple Knowledge Base article on troubleshooting startup issues:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
Safe Mode is achieved the same way you started up with extensions off in OS 9--hold down the Shift key as the startup chime is ending. Hold it down until you see the indicator that looks like a spinning gear. (The link to instructions on doing this is also on the troubleshooting page.)

My Macbook is stuck at the loading screen (the apple with the spinning circle beneath it). I went to Best Buy, they told me to call Apple Help and ask them to restore my unit. But Apple help wont help me without charging me. Help please !!

My Macbook Pro is stuck at the loading screen (the apple with the spinning circle underneath). I went to Best Buy to get help, and they told me to call Apple Help and ask them to 'restore my unit', which he said is a matter of only about 4 mouse clicks. If it was so easy, I didn't understand why he couldn't do it for me. But he said that even though I have a 3 year warranty and protection plan with them, they were not responsible for this type of problem. Whatever.
Anyway, so I called Apple Help, and even though he was familiar with my problem, it's been more than 90 days since I purchased the laptop, therefore I'd have to set up a service agreement to get his assistance, meaning I'd have to PAY him. So now i'm stuck, and I'm just hoping somebody knows what to do to help me
I don't have any disc that I apparently need, and I don't remember ever getting one. However, if there is some other way to fix this issue, please let me know. Thanks for your time and assistance
