My mac book froze. I restarted with no success. I put in the install disk and its still frozen. Please help!

Please help. I don't want to pay to at store when the tech guy over the phone said it sounded like an easy fix. Never had a problem with this computer before. Hope someone can help!

If the disk hardware is working properly but the directory on it is very badly scrambled, it might take as much as an hour, though less than half that amount of time is more common. But if the disk hardware is failing, Disk Utility won't be able to repair it at all, and it may keep trying for a very long time (hours) before giving up.

    Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

    My mac book is not turning on. I have the back lit apple of a grey screen and the grey spinning loading wheel and it is spinning constantly can anyone help?

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the 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 the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from 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.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start 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.
    d. 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. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d 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 startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    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 start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up 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.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start 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 the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up 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, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup 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 restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the 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 restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • I have a MacPro with 10.7.2 installed. I want to create a new partition and install 10.5. When I put in the install DVD and restart the computer, it does not restart. What can I do?

    I just purchased a  MacPro with 10.7.2 installed. I want to install 10.5 on a separate partition.
    I created the partition with no issues, now when I put in the 10.5 install DVD and restart the computer, it does not restart.
    All I get is a grey screen. no icons, no nothing. I have to shut the computer down.
    I really need to do this. I plan on upgrading to FCP X, but I still need to finish some old projects that were done with FCP 7. I need the different boot drives

    Mac Pro - Mid 2010
    Processor  2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
    This is a brand new machine that I just purchased from Apple. It was delivered yesterday
    The old computer is an old PowerMac G5, but my OS X install disc is a retail version of 10.5.
    I also tried the OS X 10.5 install disc that came with my MacBook Pro (2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dual).
    Same issue - nothing but a grey screen when the system tries to boot from the DVD

  • Mac Pro will not boot from Leopard or any CD or DVD install disk

    My Mac Pro wont boot from my Leopard install DVD. It never gets by the gray screen, then after several minutes the screen scrolls down black and says I need to restart my computer. I tried my Tiger install disk and it still wont boot from that DVD. Held down the "C", used "option" and selected DVD and still no boot. I can boot from one HD that has Leopard 10.5.8, but another HD with Snow Leopard 10.6.3 will not boot. The HD with Snow Leopard shows up as "EFI Boot" not the name I gave that HD when I startup using the "option" key. Any help would be appreciated.

    At first I was just going to say it sounds like you have a bad optical drive, but then you had to go and say that it also won't boot from a HDD.
    That just makes things a whole lot worse.
    Start by removing the side cover and checking the RAM to see if any of the LEDs are lit up indicating bad RAM. Usually if there's any bad RAM found, it will just automatically disable that stick, but maybe yours isn't for some reason.
    Look for any other LEDs that may be lit. Generally speaking, the only time you should see an LED (outside of the power LED) lit consistently is if there's a problem.
    You should also see if you can get Apple Hardware Test to run, which may or may not find some problem.
    But sorry to say, it's sounding very suspiciously like a bad logic board.
    One other thing to try, is putting the SL drive into a different slot. So if you were putting it in slot 2, try slot 3 or 4. If you just have a bad SATA port, you might be able to just work around that until you get a new system.
    If by chance this system is still under warranty, do not walk, do not pass go, do not collect $200, RUN to the nearest AASP or Apple store to make it THEIR problem to sort out.

  • Mac Pro- Damaged Disk/Permissions - Disk Warrior unable to fix, please help

    Hey, I am really hoping I can solve this over the discussion board. My Mac Pro 1,1, with OSX 10.6.2 installed, has been acting up really badly lately. Random crashes, really slow, and my Radeon XT1900 is about to die, I think; the fan almost never turns off.
    But the main issue I'd like to address is my damaged home disk. I booted up from the install disk and used Disk Utility to "Verify and Repair Disk" on my home disk. It said that the "Header has some minor damage," the repair finished and DU reported that it had repaired the volume and everything was fine.
    However, after booting up from the HD, I went back into Disk Utility and did another "Verify Disk" to double check. It came up with an error stating: "Disk Utility stopped verifying 'Home' The disk needs to be repaired. Startup your computer with another disk and use DU to repair this disk."
    So I booted from the install disk again, ran Disk Utility, and it said that everything was fine. So I booted back from HD, ran DU - only for it to report the same error as before. Why is DU reporting a problem when booting from disk, but it says there is no problem when running from the install disk?
    I decided to get Disk Warrior to see if that would help. I used it to "Repair Disk Permissions" and also "Check All Files & Folders". Disk Warrior then stopped saying: "An unexpected error occurred while attempting to perform the file operations. Restart from DW disc and try again. ERROR CODE (2903, -8902)."
    Here are some screenshots of the errors from Disk Warrior and Disk Utility (booted from HD). image: !http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9789/duerror.png!
    image: !http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9269/dwerror.png!
    So my main question is: Why, after Disk Utility, running off the install disk, reports that it "repaired - some minor damage to the header," does it then report the "header is damaged" when booted from the system?

    Don't rely on just Apple First Aid, or trust it with finding and repairing.
    Sorry you had to wait this long to get Disk Warrior.
    You should always run DW from another hard drive.
    Install a fresh clean copy of 10.6.x on a small 30GB partition for emergency only.
    you can use that to boot from to run repairs and maintenance using Apple and Disk Warrior.
    Don't bother using DVDs or CD to boot from.
    It sounds like you are running DW and DU from hard drives, but not clear which or from where (and when).
    Always use the SAME version when repairing permissions, never use an older version OS or of Disk Utility.
    CLONE your system. Always have a couple bootable backups.
    Choice is Apple Disk Utility Restore; SuperDuper; Carbon Copy Cloner
    If a drive does have errors, be ready to restore and have backups on hand if it comes to that.
    System (OS and apps) probably only change weekly or even monthly.
    You can backup /Users to its own backup partition more often, and use Time Machine plus another method there.
    Personally, I tend to run DW directory repair first and sometimes only, and only then check files.
    TechTool Pro 5 is what I use for checking files, disk media for weak sectors, and some other problems not covered by Disk Warrior; and, because it can run concurrently on multiple volumes and drives.
    It is 'iffy' to verify a live system and get an accurate read of its health, but I'd say Disk Utility is "out of its depths, and league" when it comes to finding and repairing, and for the errors it is encountering on your system.
    Isolate the sytem from data and media files and libraries as much as you can and still easy to manage.
    Most errors are with system or boot drive.
    Radeon X1900 needs to be removed, carefully inspected, and any dust in the vents, air intake portion and exhaust, cleaned out. Right now the only real upgrade there is the ATI 4870 for now (Apple's or flashed).

    I have exactly the same problem. The computer keeps restarting, with exactly the same Kernel Panic. I also tried that application to toggle the graphic cards, no difference. The only difference is that this was rare in Mavericks. In Yosemite it's 2 or 3 times a day.
    Sometimes is crashes right after restarting. I'm looking at the desktop as it appears, and it crashes again in front of me. It's ridiculous. I never saw anything like this, not even in a Windows machine (and I used them for 20+ years).
    So that means we have a defunct machine? Apple allows this to happen? We have a faulty machine and we have no option but to live with the constant crashes, or go back to OSX Lion? That's ridiculous!
    Can't Apple just make a software update to deal with this?? I don't want to go back to the stone age!

  • Why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting

    why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting and how can it be fixed

    It would be nice if you could include a kernel panic log to verify that your problem is...
    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
                dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
             com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal(6.4.0)@0x83c05000->0x84019fff
                dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
             com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000->0x8378dfff
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,

  • My mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.

    my mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.pls help

    Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
    Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
    I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
    My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

  • I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
    I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?
