  • 17-inch Mac Book Pro does not boot. No startup chime and no video.

    Hey guys,
    My Mac Book Pro refuses to boot. Whether it's running off the power supply or on the battery, it does the same thing: I hit the power button, I hear the disc drive make it's usual sound, but no apple boot chime, and no video. It just sits there, blank screen and all. Last night in my frustration, I held the power button down for about 5 seconds and the light in front started blinking as if it was expecting a firmware update. I immieditely shut it off. I hope that didn't make the problem worse, but regadless it still has the same problem. I have a feeling my logic board took a dive. What's weird is, I was using it, it was plugged in, I left it for a bit, it went into sleep mode, and that was the last time it was on. It's as if I can't get it out of sleep mode. I've turned it on and off a dozen times, taken the battery out, etc.. And nothing. Any suggestions?

  • 17 inch MAC book pro will not boot up

    My 17 inch MAC Book Pro will not power/boot up.  The battery is charged and it displays a green light on the power adapter.  However, it will not boot up.

    Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If it doesn't work, probably there's a logic board problem, so it's possible that you need a new logic board. Take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller

  • 2009 Mac Book pro will not boot up. I've tried to do a disk repair it says ETF partions need repair. When I try it says unable to unmount disk. I've tried to re-install the OS and when I do that the message says unable download.

    My 2009 macbook pro will not boot up and I have tried everything to get it to work. Please help!!!!!!

    Do you have an external drive? If no, then you will need to purchase a drive so you can backup your data.
    If you have a drive that is formatted as GUID you can select to install OS X from recovery mode on the external drive. Now you can boot from that drive and make a backup of your internal drive so you can erase and reformat the drive.
    Recommended Drives
    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed. I don’t recommend FW. The newer computers don’t have FW ports. You would need a connector in order to use the drive on a newer computer.
    Size:  I recommend either the 2T or 3T drives.  Often they are cheaper than a 1T drive. The 4T drives have more issues and failure rates.
    Many drives come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility. 
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: Has a 2 yr warranty. Comes formatted for Mac but I would still format using Disk Utility.
    WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB (WDBYCC0020HBK-NESN)  $99
    WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 3 TB (WDBYCC0030HBK-NESN)  $119.99
    Check the warranty when comparing. The longer the warranty the better the drive. WD makes cheaper drives but with almost no warranty.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.

    My macbook pro will not boot up. Can anyone help me?

    I got a macbook pro from a friend and am trying to see if it works.
    It doesn't.

  • My mac book pro does not boot up correctly anymore after doing some updates. I did have my ipod charging to my mac book. I ran the simple updates and never go to the maverick update and now my computer will not boot correctly. Help!

    Please help my computer is not repsonding after doing some simple updates. I follow the instructions and which is simply click for the update to take place. I did what I was instructed to do. I did not do the new update for the Mavericks yet. I just did simple updates. The computer shutted down and restarted but would never get pass the grey screen with the spinning wheel and the booting bar that would not go past a certain point befor shutting off again. The computer is practically brand new. I purchased the computer from best by 2012 and the warrenty just ended the past October. I hardly use the computer maybe 4 times since I have had it because I have another main computer that I uses. However, I don't want to do a hard rest becuase I do have the entire adobe suits software that I paid for and don't want to loose. I have an appointment with apple today to see what they say but I hope that my computer that I hardly every use is not defected after doing a updated pushed by Apple. Any thoughts or suggestions???? Thanks in advance Apple Family :-)

    Well, I was at Apple for sometime on that day. I got a Genius that did not want to work. She basically jumped to the money to tell me that my hard drive was no good and that I was out of warranty (October 2013). I began to explain to her that I had only used the computer 5 times and that I don't use this computer as my main computer because I also have a Toshiba that is less expensive that I have had for several years and not one issue out of it. The rep told me that I could by a new hard drive for $161.00 and that I would loose all of my software and photos that I have on this computer. However, I told her that it's bazaar that it happens right after my warranty goes out and had I used it more often when in warranty before October then I would have been covered. Keeping in mind that I would still be very disappointed with the product because I would loose all of my information and it would not make sense to me why the hard drive fails on a very gently used computer. So I asked for a manager and it took her some time to get one. In the mean time I watched how the other Geniuses interacted with the other customers and seen that they were very engaging with convo and very help. I guess I just I got another lemon when I got my rep. When the manager finally came. I went from A-Z with the issues and that I felt that something could or should be done because the rep said that she did tests on my machine and it read to her that my hard drive was bad and there was nothing that could be done. I explained that I was not looking forward to paying for services to have my new computer repaired. The manager offered to give me 25% off the cost but I still didn't feel that it was effective. After he left and the rep wrote the notes in the system, I told her that I didn't think that all options had been exhausted and that there was something else that could be done. I told her to erase the machine and see if the updates could be installed and if the system would continue to do the same thing. The rep was hesitant and said that I would loose everything which we already know that we were at conclusion from the beginning. She assured me that I would happen again and that I would need a new hard drive. I just told her to erase the machine and get me another manager because I was just getting tired of her unhelpfulness and negative perspective. The new manager came and was very pleasant and I explained everything once again from A-Z. I informed him that I had the machine erased and that I need his help with options because I don't feel that the rep or the last manager was resourceful or helpful. He apologies for the actions of the reps and proceed to tell me that they will run all the updates in the store and that if it booted correctly that I should continue to use the machine with out adding the adobe software back on just incase that it crashes again and I'm out of money once again. However, if it does happen again and it is a hard drive issues that he would work with me to resolve the issues. As my computer went through the process of rebooting from out of the box stage another rep approached me because he could tell that I was upset and not happy. I told he what had happen and he said I think I can help you a little more. He said that I just want to run further testing on you computer for different components to make sure that everything would work properly and pin point any issues. I was delighted with that option. Anything would help at this time especially someone who is willing to help. The first test that he ran was to for the hard drive and he said that since it failed the test the first time could be because the software update glitch and did update correctly which would make the test faulty and be negative. As I sit with finger crossed the test came back as a pass test that my hard drive was not the issue and that the update was the cause and that I did not have to buy a new hard drive. I was happy that the computer was ok but I lost information. All of the updates were done in the store and everything works fine now. If I was not persistent about my gut feeling then I would had left out thinking that I had to pay for a new hard drive that I really didn't needed. Now I can invest that money in a external hard drive to start backing up my information. Lesson learned by I'm still on the fence about things but I hope all is well. I really went through a lot. No help or no service was not an option that I was taken.  I hope that it helps.

  • My mac book pro will not boot up

    my MBpro will not boot up when turned on, it continues the reading process, and just continues to run.  I would like to power up using control keys, and bypass loading programs or a testing mode.

    Press and hold the shift key immediately after the chime.  That boots you up into "Safe Mode."

  • Mac book pro will not boot

    So i was using my macbook pro the 2008 with mountain lion the other day with a remote connection from another mac with snow leopard installed and everything worked great, no freezes no connection problems nothing, until when i was done i didnt want to get up so i decided to shut the remoted mac from the controlling mac, it switched of and got a grey screen on the controlling mac with the "loading circle thing" than spun for forever with the message "connection lost", so decided to manually quit the remote program. So the next day i wanted to use the late 2008 mac again, but when  hit the power button nothing happened, no power light no power light no dvd drive sound nothing, just seemed like it was not powered up, so i checked the battery and it was full, checked my magsafe and it was working perfectly, but the mac didnt. so i decided to take out all power source and fit them again, still nothing happened. i tried the SMC resetting thing several times stilll nothing, so i took out all power sources again, left it overnight, and the next day i fitted the battery again, and with one push of a button it started again, and it worked flawlessly through out the day. So, the next day  i was playing again with the remote program and when i was done i turned of the late 2008 mac again from the controlling mac and got the same thing as before, so without bothering much i decided to repeat all steps performed the first time, but now the mac just wount, no matter what i do it is just not giving any signs. Now i took out the memory the ram memory, tried the hard disk on another machine and works perfectly, im stuck and dont know what else to do, does anyone know of any issues using the remote connection between macs? and / or any suggestions what else i could try? it is quiet important i need it for my work in about a week and i have no idea what to do. please help!!! thanks 

    After looking a little close at DU, my entire drive has been wiped out. HD space used is 1.24 GB. In 30 years of computer use I have never had an entire HD wiped out. 
    Any ideas, thoughts on how or why?

  • My Mac Book Pro Does not boot up, screen freezes White

    My MBP is 3 Weeks old and has work perfectly until today. I plugged my iphone into the USB slot and the computer froze. I turned it off by using the on off switch. When I tried to reboot it made the start sound however the screen did not show the apple logo and it remained white. I have tried the different resets options in on the Support Page and also tried to boot with the install disc. It still starts and goes to a white screen and no further. The install disc will not eject. I have read other threads with display freezing etc. However mine will not go any further than the the white screen. It will not respond to the the boot holding the "C" option either. I did upgrade the ram to 4 gig (crucial) three days after I bought it. No problems>
    Any ideas.
    Thanks in advance

    I have had to change screen name when I signed up again after having my MBP replaced today. I took it to the local Apple store and had it replaced. Fortunately I have had time machine and time capsule running since I have had it. When I get back from business trip I will reset everything. The problem was a hard disk failure. No explanation for it. The interesting part was the same time I was getting my new MBP, there were two other patrons with the same problem. One Imac (6months) and MBP (6 weeks). Both had the same symptoms as mine, play start up sound, screen white, computer would not go any further. I did get my install disc back. Just want to report what happened.
    Thanks

  • Mac book pro will not boot up, black screen

    I got a macbook pro from a friend and am trying to see if it works.  The battery on the back seems to charge with the green lights on the back, and the small white light on the lid button lights up, but I have no display.  I tried plugging in a secondary display off of the DVI port, but that did not work either.

  • My Mac Book Pro will not power on

    My Mac Book Pro will not (boot-up) power on.
    What should I do?

    Do you have the power adapter connected?  Does it display a light, amber or green? 
    Have you checked the battery charge level by pressing the exterior battery level button?
    Try a SMC reset:

  • My mac book pro will not fully boot up. I have the grey background with the apple sign and the timer going round...but 20 minutes later still no desktop

    My mac book pro will not fully boot up. I have the grey background with the apple sign and the timer going round...but 20 minutes later still no desktop

    You could try doing a hard shut down (holding the power button or yanking the battery) and then doing a safe boot by holding the shift key at startup:

    Also, not sure if this applies in your case, but I've had that happen when there's a USB drive inserted either in the computer or a connected external keyboard.  I did a hard shut down, removed the drive and it went through a normal start up.
