My 2007 MB Pro 15" won't boot, won't read the CD., My 2007 MB Pro 15" won't boot, won't read the CD.
How can I get the disk out?
Hold down the power button, then tap it to start it and hold the c or option key down to boot off the OS X install disk.
You may need to let it charge for awhile, then do a SMC Reset.

If you can't boot off the disk and you need it out of the disk and need it out of the machine, hold down the trackpad button while booting and it should spit out.

MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will
So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
His computer, with my SATA cable:
1) Worked with every hard drive!
My computer, with his SATA cable:
1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
3) Works with my original hard drive
4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine -
MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great.
Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8. The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
I only desire to get back to OSX...
What are my options??Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it. -
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) It turns on for less than 60 sec thens shutsoff by itself, it won't load to recovery hd partition, won't load to mac OS and already replaced with new MLB, but the problem still persist.. able to run ASD EFI but ASD OS wont work.please help thanks in advance
Holy crap, I got it to work.
Essentially, I just waited until DiskWarrior reached Step 9 and told it to skip the step before it had a chance to freeze. It skipped successfully, moved on, rebuilt and replaced the faulty directory files.
So far the computer is booting like normal, I can log in, and I'm currently copying all of the data to an external as I type this.
I still have no idea why the computer wouldn't mount or boot to any drive, but I guess I'll deal with that later. -
How do I boot from an external hard drive if my MacBook Pro only recognizes the internal drive?
Hi there, I recently got the white screen of death (w/ circle slash) on my 13" 2009 MacBook Pro. Most people are saying that it is hard drive failure, so I am trying to boot it from an external hard drive to save some of my data before having it repaired. Unfortunately, every time I press "option" while it boots, it only shows the internal drive on the grey screen. I have my external drive connected, but it won't recognize it. What should I do?
Thanks!Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only start from an external drive if OS X is installed there. If not, it won't appear as a bootable volume because there isn't any operating system inside it.
As you have a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro, it's better to start from the Mac OS X disc that came with your Mac. Insert it and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. After starting, go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and repair it. If you can't get it repaired, take the computer to an Apple Store.
If the hard drive can't be repaired, the only option to recover your files is to use an application as DiskWarrior, but it's expensive and it's not sure that it will work, because it may fail -
Boot last rev MBP off clone of 2007 iMac.
Hi all, I've got a bit of a problem, and I'd be grateful for any advice / assistance. I've got a refurb mid 2010 15 inch MBP on order, should arrive tomorrow I hope. But I've got to head for HQ the next day. Normally I work on my 24-inch iMac, it's about 2007 (I think: also refurb) - 2.4 Ghz C2D. "Had I but world enough and time" as the poet said, I'd get all the stuff that I need for my work installed on the MBP, and take that to HQ. But I won't have time to do all that on top of my normal days' work Monday and Tuesday. Assuming I can get an external drive today, to get me through the HQ visit I'm thinking of using CCC to clone the iMac's internal HD to that external, then booting the MBP off that. The iMac is on SL (10.6.5) and I'm assuming the MBP when it gets here will be on that or more - not that that should matter. Should work, no? And am I right in thinking it's shut down - hold option key + power on to get a choice of boot location please? And afaik you can boot off a usb-connected drive, it doesn't have to be Firewire? Also, I'm not sure whether or not the FW connection on the iMac works.Would it matter if I wrote the clone from the iMac using USB, then connected it to the MBP using FW? Or use USB for both? Sorry about the level of all the questions, I know there are guys / gals out there who boot off thumb drives, sandwich toasters and all sorts, but I never do this stuff and now I've got to do it in a rush. Thanks in advance, save an old man having to lug a 24-inch iMac all around HQ offices! TIA - Terry.
OK - cloned the iMac internal to the new external. IMac boots off external. Now just need MBP to show up tomorrow and see if that does. Should do. - Terry.

I want to try to boot up a Powerbook G4 externally with my MacBook Pro.
My wife has a PowerBook G4 that has had a hard drive failure according to the Apple people. Her computer won't boot, it just turns on and the little color wheel spins forever. I want to try to recover some data from her computer. I could try loading OS X onto an external hard drive and try to boot her computer that way or I could try to connect my MacBook Pro to her computer and try to use it to boot up her computer. Is either method preferable (or more dangerous) than the other? If either method is possible, do I need to connect them via Firewire or will USB2 be ok? How do I make her computer recognize the external drive as the system disc? A lot of questions, I know, but she starts back at work tomorrow and really needs her computer. Thanks so much.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One thing you can't do is use the MacBook Pro's operating system to boot the Powerbook or vice versa. An external Firewire hard drive with an operating system that the Powerbook supports will allow you to boot the Mac, and recover data to a separate partition if data is restorable. As others indicated, Target Disk Mode will allow you to see the other computer's data, if the drive is at all functional. Data recovery tools for this include Prosoft Data Rescue, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, and Boomerang's Boomerang. The partition solution goes as follows:
1. Partition (link explains how), the external Firewire hard drive for a large enough partition to install the supported operating system on, and a second partition large enough to recover the data to from the original hard drive.
2. Install the operating system and data recovery application on the 1st partition.
3. Recover the data to the second partition.
Optionally, you can use the entire external hard drive, and boot off the data recover program's CD using the startup manager
If using the MacBook Pro to see the machine:
1. Backup its data first*.
2. Partition its hard drive if it has enough room to handle both your recovered data, and your existing MacBook Pro's data. Note the limitations on disk space for Macs*.
3. Recover the data to the MacBook Pro from the backup.
4. Use one of the above data recovery tools to recover to the second MacBook Pro partition and target disk mode.
Third alternative, if none of the above works, and your data is worth several thousand dollars or more, check Drivesavers. They are the one company that may be able to recover data that Apple can't, and can do things the above recovery tools can't either.

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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 installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
$10,000 Mac Pro won't read $1,500 Apple Final Cut Pro DVDs. Awesome.
Have tried rebooting, updating, etc. No luck. DVD Drive just rejects the disk(s).
What does $11,500 get you from Apple? A boat anchor. Piece of crap won't read brand new Apple FCP disks, so the 60gb, 8 hour install either won't start at all, or fails about 80% of the way through. Just great.
Thing is, I also own some Macbook Pros, and the new one does the same thing.

A week or so ago, the screen on the Macbook Pro I've had for 5 years went permanently black. The screen itself still works, but it's just all black. Went from flickering/flashing to black. I didn't have any kind of warranty on it or anything, and in addition to all of the other things about it that needed fixing, it seemed like it'd just be cheaper to get a new Macbook Pro.
My question is: How do I get all the stuff from the old laptop to the new laptop without having to use the old laptop's display? Is there a cable I can use to connect the two, and I can just access the old one from the new one?FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

Do you keep your data backed up?
If not, you should always do so*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
You never know when a hard drive or a directory might go bad. Having a bootable clone is a must.
That link also shows you some tools you can use to recover data.
If you aren't backed up, try buying those tools first, before attempting to repair the directory.
Directory issues can be fixed with these tools*:

Boot Camp is no longer bootable after tech tool pro.
Really need som guidance today!
A few days ago i created an eDrive with techtool pro, honestly I don't know why I even did this my computer was running fine...curiousity I guess. I booted in to the eDrive and ran a volume optimization on my mac os 10.8.3 partition. This went on for 12 hours until about 96%, at which point it stopped and did not complete the process.
When I tried to boot into Mac Os, the option appeared in the Alt/Option startup selection but when only a gray screen and then a crossed circle and nothing else. I solved this only by restoring my Mac Os partition with a Time Machine backup from over a month ago.
Now, my boot camp partiotin is no longer available in the Alt/Option start up screen, and when I manually choose it in the Mac Os startup disk utility it loads to a black screen which read "no bootable volume, please insert startup disk and press any key". Disk utility recognizes the volume which is strange.
I never had a DVD, and i installed windows using a USB iso image, which i of course lost. Now i am trying to create a USB in bootcamp assistant, but none of them are booting.
What is going on?
PLEASE HELP!!!!You have a recovery partition for repairing and reinstalling OSX (unless TT borked that as well). Reboot, press command and R at the sound of the chime.
Use Disk Utility to repair (do not try to repair the Boot Camp partition) or choose Reinstall OSX -
Mac pro 4,1 2009 every OS but the Snow Leopard takes 6gb of RAM just on boot? Yosemite unusable
I have a 2009 Mac Pro quad 2.66 ghz with original 12gb of ram(an option at time of pruchace, but I also have different modules for 6gb from another machine of the same series, problem is not related to the RAM modules). I also have multiple hard drives and tried installing everything from Lion onwards to any of those (even having a single drive in the system), and the problem presists.
The issue:
When I boot up Snow Leopard system takes around 1.5-2gb of ram and that is perfectly fine. Everything works great.
When I boot up Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, the system itself takes 6gb of RAM or more just too boot. This can't be right, how would any newer Mac even work with their 4gb.
I noticed that in Activity monitor system automatically opens a ton of apps that have no use on my system like WiFi(that I don't have). Seems like it automatically boots every single app that is part of the system, it takes it like 30 minutes to load all those useless features, and system is crawling then, works ok 30 minutes in but I have half my ram wasted.
How do I stop it from doing this? Everything is fine with Snow Leopard, but I am stuck in it, and I can't purchase a lot of apps that I would if I could actually use newer software?Problem description:
Yosemite takes up 4.5-6gb of ram just on boot compared to the 1.5-2 gb that Snow Leopard takes on the same system
