MBP Won't Boot After Upgraded to EFI 2.2

Hi,
I upgraded to the latest EFI 2.2 firmware yesterday. After the reboot, the computer hangs on a black screen with a fan noisy. I have tried to reset SMC and PRAM & NVRAM, but there is no luck. I even couldn't hear the startup sound. Does anyone have experienced the same issue? Is my motherboard broken? It would be very appreciated if someone could help me out. I'm really frustrated now.
Thank you.
Kai.

No, that certainly isn't the issue! Just had to make sure.
If it's not a hardware issue which happened to coincide with the update, the update may be corrupted or not completed. If either is the case, and you have another Mac available, you can try downloading the update from Apple Support Downloads, booting the MBP into FireWire Target Disk Mode (if it will cooperate), and trying to install the update that way. I have not tried this method, so cannot say if it will work or not, but I would try it prior to the alternative, which is to reinstall the OS (or, better yet, clone a backup to the MBP).

MBP won't boot after update!

I've got a late 2006 model. I'm hoping my problem isn't related to a hardware failure. I left it on during the day, came home, the fan was running hard and it was really hot. Performance was slow, but everything worked.
it was asking me to restart for the latest update anyway and I'd been putting it off for a day or two, so I decided to restart and let it go through with that.
But now, it won't boot. It starts up with the grey screen, a bar starts filling at the bottom, gets maybe 1/10th of the way, blinks out then another bar appears, starts filling, gets a little further, then the machine shuts off. Exact same process every time I start it.
I'm not really familiar with what my options are here.

IMac won't boot after upgrade to Maverick

First off, I have a Time Machine backup, so I'm not in really deep hot water yet, but...
Upgraded to Maverick from Lion 10.7.5 and let it run for ever and a day until it rebooted itself. Upon reboot, I got the grey screen with the Apple logo, then the little spinny thing beneath the logo disappeared...and nothing else happened. The iMac gets stuck like that and won't do anything else. I have only the keyboard and mouse connected to it — no external drives, no hubs, nothing else USB or FireWire. I can reboot to the recovery disk (which it now says is the 10.9 version). I have verified permissions, repaired permissions, verified disk (no problems) but repaired disk anyway, tried reinstalling Mavericks (and let it run overnight but got the exact same result) and even booted in single-user mode to run fsck. Nothing so far has worked.
I'm stuck with a grey screen and the pretty Apple logo, but can't get to the login screen or do anything else with it. Suggestions?

I spoke to Apple support and they've given me some suggestions to try when I get home tonight:

FIXED!
Well I'm not sure how exactly I managed to fix it, but I'll write it down for the people that may experience similar problems in the future.
I logged into my Linux using the 'single user mode' - by adding the 'single' word at the end of the kernel line in GRUB.
I gave myself write permissions by issuing the command 'mount -no remount, rw /'.
I removed the gensplash-initscripts, then installed normal initscripts, then installed gensplash-initscripts again and modified the rc.conf file.
Rebooted, fixed my network by modifying rc.conf file again.
I have to fix the local area settings like time, zone etc. and something is wrong with the xserver (the fonts are too big) but generally - it WORKS
Thanks for your help attempts
Cheers. Staying with Arch

Playbook won't boot after upgrade to v2

I did my OTA upgrade this morning, and it downloaded and appeared to apply successfully. I hit the "restart" button and the playbook has been stuck at the shiny lights splash screen since.
I've even done a hard reset - still stuck. I can't get it to boot up. Upgrade FAIL.
Anyone know how I should begin troubleshooting this? This is my one and only Blackberry device (not encouraging).
If I haven't backed up in a few days (I know, I know...), can I redownload recently purcahsed apps? How can I even find them? Will they show in App World if they aren't installed?
Thanks in advance,
A

Mine took over 15 min to reboot.

MBP won't boot after failed 10.4.9 install (stalls at grey screen)

MBP intel CD2 2.33 2GB RAM previous 10.4.8. attempted install of 10.4.9 Received an error stating 10.4.9 could not be installed. Restarted and now the grey screen with the small apple symbol and spinning wheel at startup just keeps going. It never reached the blue screen. I let it sit for at least an hour and still the same. Reboot and it does the same... stalls at the grey screen with apple symbol.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I looked through the support files and threads but could not find anything about this.
I don't have a backup (ouch) but will be doing that immediatley if I can get this fixed.
BTW.. I did attempt to boot from the install disk and it does show the boot folder on the HD as 10.4.9 although it said the install failed.
Thanks again
Chris

Thanks guys. I need to get a firewire>firewire cable. I'll boot into target mode and backup my home folder.
What about re-installing the OS with the option of preserving the previous settings and user account. Would I be able to access my old applications or just the files? I was considering reformatting anyway because of all the "crap" I've loaded on over the year.
Rregardless I will try target mode first and let you know.
Thanks!

MBP won't boot after crashing while installing OSX

Hi
My 2010 15" Macbook Pro crashed while installing Mountian Lion. This was clean install, I had earlier in the process formatted the harddrive.
I have browsed the forum for similar problems, but neither holding down cmd+ctrl+r+p, cmd+r nor just the option key on start-up gives me anything but black screen.
To avoid confusion I am sure that the computer is starting as I can hear the fans starting.
I hope very much to receive input, thank you

Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
Things I've tried so far:
1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
3. Holding shift, no luck.
4. Holding X, nothing.
How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

MBP won't boot - "GRUB_" - tried installing ubuntu on an external drive

so i tried installing ubuntu netbook remix onto an external drive, and upon restarting my MBP won't boot to my internal HDD, once it displayed "GRUB_" with a blinking cursor, but is otherwise unresponsive.
now i just get the folder with the ? on it.
I've run disk util, repair permission, repair disk and still no luck.
i can boot the MBP into target disk mode and see the HDD on my other system and all appears to be good, and if i boot to the install dvd, the HDD shows up under the "startup disk" menu, but it just doesn't boot.
any thoughts on how to fix this?

So I have an imac that I have had for about 3yrs. About several months ago, it started acting a little strange, it wouldnt pick up the mouse or the keyboard at times even thought they were plugged in properly to the usb port, sometimes both would work sometimes one or the other would work and other times they worked fine. About a month or 2 ago, I went to turn my imac on and it got to the screen where the little circular icon pops up implying it is loading, stayed that way for 2-3min then turned of and turned itself back on and did the same thing, made the apple sound got to the load screen turned of after 2-3min then turned back on, it has been doing that for the past month. What do I do?

Mac OS won't boot after 2007-009 1.1 update

Hi all
Fairly major problem here. Mac OS X won't boot after the 2007-009 1.1 security update.
What I am left with is the mac boot screen, and not a lot happening. No rotating loading animation.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

I have been booting up for...2.45 hours now
Good grief!
Here are a few hints about what you should have done:
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
