My macbook keeps on booting in safe mode on its own

How do I stop it from doing that? If I reset PRAM, I can restart with no safe mode, but when I select me as user, it does not recognize my password.
What to do?
Thanks

Quite likely. Sounds like a keyboard issue, possibly a stuck Caps Lock key. Try an external keyboard and see if that helps.

    but my macbook won't boot in Safe mode. It just freeses with a grey screen for hours and wont boot.
    I tried to leave it overnight to boot, but it didn't.
    Please help me make my macbook to boot in SafeMode.
    my configuration is the following:
    MacBookPro8,1
    OSX 10.8.2

    There is a bug in fsck_hfs that is affecting a bunch of people.  Basically as your comptuer starts in safe mode, it runs a file system check (fsck) against your hard drive, it gets to a certain point and... just sits there.  No one knows why outside of apple.
    Lots of info here, including a way to get around it by tricking the system to think fsck had been run, though the fsck will not be complete so it is not a good solution.

  • How do I stop my MacBook from ONLY booting in Safe Mode

    I have a new Intel MacBook with 512 Mhz of Memory. My granddaughter loaded about 8 programs from the dock all at the same time. Now, the computer will only boot up in safe maode. Does anyone know how I can get the machine to boot up properly? And yes, I have turned it off and on normally to see if this would fix the problem - but no luck. Help!!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    "Now, the computer will only boot up in safe
    mode."
    In my earlier response I assumed that you booted into
    safe mode by holding down the Shift key during
    startup.
    Upon reconsideration, I'm wondering if you meant
    instead that the computer boots into safe mode by
    itself, without your holding down the shift key. If
    so, this would indicate that the computer suspected
    some inconsistency in the filesystem and is booting
    into safe mode in an attempt to repair the damage.
    This repair can take some time. Are you allowing it
    10-20 minutes to finish the task?
    If so, and it still won't reboot into regular mode,
    then you probably should start the computer from the
    Installation Disc by inserting the Disc before
    shutdown and then holding down the C key during
    startup.
    Don't actually install anything, but use the menu at
    the top to run DiskUtility on the hard drive. Tell it
    to "Repair Disk".
    Sorry I didn't see this post before I responded to your first one. Yes, this is exactly what is happening. I am not holding down any key to force it into safe mode - it's doing that all by itself. I will try the 10 - 20 minute repair time as you suggested. What will I see happening after this period of time has elapsed? Does it matter if my screen goes into "sleep mode" before the 10-20 minute time is up? And then, if this doesn't work, I'll try your other suggestion using my installation disc.
    Thank you!!!!

  • Macbook Pro only boots in Safe Mode

    Hello,
    I've read a few discussions about MacBooks only booting in Safe Mode, but my circumstances are a bit different.
    Yesterday I installed a new piece of RAM. The installation was careful and went well. When I went to restart the computer, however, it would not load after the gray screen with the apple appeared. So I restarted it in Safe Mode and it worked fine (abeit there is no sound, can't use the disc drive, etc.)
    The interesting part is that while in safe mode I clicked on the apple in the top left corner, clicked "About This Mac," and it appears that the computer accepted the new ram (I originally had two 2-gig sticks [4 gigs total], and I swapped out one of the sticks for the new 4-gig stick [therefore I have 6 gigs total]). So the computer recognizes the new RAM, which is good news, but I've still got a problem.
    I've tried rebooting several times, and have even tried the Apple Hardware Test, but it froze shortly after I started the test (the same thing happened about 4 times).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Here's the specs of my Macbook:
    MacBook Pro, mid-2010 edition
    Mac OS X, version 10.6.8
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor
    6 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory

    The RAM you received was bad, return it. That brand of RAM seems to pop up a lot here as a problem for Mac's.
    According to MacTracker the Mid 2010 models with i5 processors can accept 8GB of RAM.
    Maximum Memory
    8.0 GB
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Amazon and eBay are not good sources of top tier reliable and tested RAM, your just going to be spending more money returning it.
    Crucial.com or OtherWorld Computing will make sure the RAM they sell you works correctly in your model/year of machine.

  • MacBook Pro only boots in safe mode with pink vertical stripes across screen.

    So on Friday night I was using Chrome on my MacBook Pro, when all of a sudden little squares of light flashed randomly across the whole screen and everything but the mouse froze. I thought that was weird, so after a few minutes I forced my computer to shutdown. I waited a little and then turned it back on, and opened Chrome again. The same thing happened again, so I forced shut down, backed up Time Machine and ran a virus scan. Nothing came up, so I put it to sleep and and went to bed.  Then Saturday morning I went to open my laptop and it was off, which was weird, so I went to turn it on. After the apple logo and spinning gear went away, it booted to a light blue screen and stayed there. Again I waited and nothing happened, so I held the power button down until it turned off. I tried again but the same thing happened, so I booted in Safe Mode.
    This time there were inch long vertical bars of horizontal lines, kind of confusing but here are two pictures I took of the screen that hopefully help. http://imgur.com/oj2WbZL and http://imgur.com/O1hwJ1B . When it finally loaded I had another issue, I had 6 pink vertical bars across the screen and a box of pink horizontal stripes around my pointer, http://imgur.com/BJBzu74 . I performed an extended Apple Hardware Test and after 17 minutes it found no issues, and as it performed the test the lines got whiter and made the screen harder to see http://imgur.com/XahBD3s .
    I got my laptop June 2011, so it's not that old. I just want to know what this problem could be. I don't know if it's the connection from the screen to the computer, the hard drive, the logic board or something else. I'm really worried that it's something major, so any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    This is a GPU problem. It's normal that you see that the problem is random, but the fact that your Mac is only starting up in safe mode indicates that your Mac can only start up if the VGA driver is used. Moreover, if you open Console, you should start seeing "GPU Debug Info Start", which indicates a GPU failure.
    As you have a backup, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. In the case of the MacBook Pro, the GPU is soldered onto the logic board, so the whole logic board has to be replaced, being a very expensive repair.

  • Help! MacBook Pro only boots in Safe Mode and runs extremely slow (bonus: happened in Brazil and there are no Apple stores here - I need you guys!)

    It's a MBP mid 2010. Last year it had some problems and an Apple authorised shop changed the HD and upgraded the OS from Snow Leopard to Lion. After that it seemed fine. Recently it started getting very slow and apps (e.g. Chrome, Flash) would crash. At some point it seemed stuck so I gave it a hard shutdown - bad idea. After that it would only boot in Safe Mode. I ran repar disk and repair permissions from the Disk Utility and it booted normally again but extremely slow. I upgraded to OS X 10.8.2, but didn't solve it. I tried booting with Command D to have a hardware diagnostic - it wouldn't boot and now it only boots in Safe Mode.
    All data is backed and I have an external HD (but not an OS X Disc). Ready to anything. Help please!

    Also you can perform #1 and #2 as these occur before Safe Mode, so you just reboot again with Shift key if you need to enter Safe Mode again.
    At this point it sounds like your hard drive is dying or some sort of other hardware issue which I can only advise this.
    Try to install OS X on a external drive and boot from it, if it's fine then you know your internal boot drive is dying.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    You can replace your internal drive yourself.
    OtherWorld Computing is pretty good about providing drives and tool kits to perform that function yourself.

  • Macbook pro wont boot in safe mode or from CD

    Hey all
    Two days ago my mack book pro (2 years old) fooze giving me a blue screen (dark blue with lines, not the ligthbue, which you se at start-up). I tried change the harddisk and rebooted using the command-r option. I succesfully re-installed mac os using the internet option. Next the macbook work for 1.5 day without any problems. However this evning the computer  brook down again. I recieved the dark blue screen again. I then tried to boot from both a CD and from the internet. However the reboot-keys are not working any more, and I cant get pass the inital start up screen. When tried booting from the CD it recieved the message from the attached image. Can anybody tell, how I will be able to boot the machine ?
    Thanks Dennis

    Dennis,
    if your MacBook Pro is two years old, then it didn’t come with OS X on DVDs — it came with OS X on a recovery partition on the internal hard disk. Your picture shows a version of OS X from 2008, which your two year old MacBook Pro would be unable to run — which is why you’re getting the results that that picture shows.
    You’ll need to repeat the OS X Internet Recovery that you did the previous time; erase your internal disk, and redownload your computer’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers through the Command-R boot. Once you’ve reïnstalled its original version of OS X and have run Software Update, try running the Apple Hardware Test by holding down the D key as you restart, and then run its extended test, to see if it can detect a hardware problem.

  • My macbook pro will only boot in safe mode

    Hey,
    I have a macbook pro 15-inch, Early 2011 running osx 10.9.4. I have a SSD hard drive that i installed myself a year ago and hasn't shown any defects. Its a 120 gb OCZ-AGILITY3.
    My problem:
    My macbook will only boot in safe mode nowadays. I have done a complete erasion of my hard drive and installed osx mavericks twice already. After the installation the computer will safely go to the desktop. But if i then do a reboot it won't get further than after the first apple logo, sometime the turning wheel will pop up, before turning off and trying again. i have tried resetting PRAM, I have tried resetting SMC, i have tried avoiding SMC (with big fan rate), but all with no success.
    I have done a complete hardware test (the longer one) and it showed "no troubles found".
    My guess is that the problem is with the battery. My computer won't run anymore without the adapter, when i pull the adapter out it either stays on for a while before just turning off. Without having it plugged in it won't start. Is it possible that during normal start up there is some kind of communication with the battery that can cause this?
    I ran a diagnostic shown in this thread (Will only boot in safe mode) and included it in this post.
    Hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks,
    Bram

  • Only boots in safe mode

    Macbook air only boots in safe mode, and if I PRAM, the password for the mac does not work

    When you can boot in safe mode, that usually indicates that you have something in your login items that is causing a problem. One way to address this is to boot in safe mode, go to system preferences, users and groups, and on your normal login ID, look at login items. Write down what they are, then start eliminating them one at a time, and reboot normally. Fixed? No? Boot into safe mode and repeat.
    While you're in System Preferences, there may be programs listed at the bottom of the window .... you want to ensure those are the 10.7 compatible versions of those programs, otherwise that could cause issues too.

  • I cannot boot into safe mode

    I cannot boot into safe mode
    I ran onxy, all appeared ok,
    I booted from installer DVD,- repaired the drive, - nothing wrong with the drive,
    and repaired disk permissions, twice, as a few permissions were incorrect
    The only app which automatically logs in user account is KeyCue, and has done so always, and I don't know what what it belongs to. Nothing logs in automatically in the admin account.
    I intermittently have a problem with DVDs not mounting, and a safe boot fixes the problem.

    further to being unable to boot in safe mode-
    normally when i boot in safe mode, when its starts up and reaches the login screen, above this are the words in red safe boot. As the words were missing from the login screen I had assumed that I was not in safe boot. I currently have about 94 GB of HD space. Other than this booting process appears to be normal. What prompted the safe boot was a DVD which mounted ok on insert, had unmounted when I went to eject, a restart and holding down the shift key ejected the disk, and I then tried to do the safe boot. Since I ran disk utility from the installer disk the same DVD has mounted and ejected just fine. The vanishing disk problem started 4-5 months ago, and has always been fixed by a safe boot

  • My Macbook Pro began crashing when I tried running safari. An error message came up asking that I repair the HD volume. Before I was able to run repair, computer shut down. Now I can not get it to boot. I tried booting in safe mode to no avail. Pls help.

    Can someone please help me with a Macbook Pro booting question?
    Recently, my mid 2010 MacBook Pro has started acting up when I am on Safari. Safari would unexpectedly crash multiple times in a row, then run fine for a while, then again, crash repeatedly. Not long after this began happening, an error message from my Prosoft Drive Genius 3 software, threw out a message that a serious error had occurred and I needed to repair the HD volume. Before I was able to run the software to repair the HD volume, the machine stopped working. I turned off the Macbook and when I tried to restart, it would not boot. I have since removed all external hardware from my machine and tried several times, unsuccessfully, to boot. I have also tried booting in safe mode when also does not work.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.

    Try SMC reset:
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. (four keys together)
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 

  • MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) will only boot in safe mode.

    I've been unable to boot my MacBook Pro normally. It will boot in safe mode, and, until today, I was able to get a normal startup after resetting both PRAM and SMC. Running "Repair Disk" on the startup disk did not reveal any problems. I have also done a recovery boot to reinstall OS (10.9.1), which did not help either, though I did not wipe the hard disc first (I did back it up).
    Had to take it to Apple back in January when the screen started acting funny, i.e. getting static-y and going blank for seconds at a time but then coming back. Their tests showed that there were no hardware problems, and the screen issue was eventually resolved by doing a PRAM reset. About 14 months ago, I had the logic board replaced.
    Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but when I have been able to boot normally, if I quit Google Chrome, the machine will freeze completely.

    Any ideas are much appreciated!

    First try doing a Software Update.
    Then restart and see if that works.
    If not then I would update Java.
    Restart and see if that works.
    If not then delete the following plist items.
    [invalid] com.oracle.java.Helper-Tool.plist
    [invalid] com.oracle.java.Java-Updater.plist
    Should find these in:
    /Macintosh HD/Library/LaunchAgents
    /Macintosh HD/Library/LaunchDaemons
    Now restart & see if that works.
    If that doesn't work try deleting everything in:
    /Macintosh HD/Library/StartupItems
    Hope this helps.

  • My MacBook Pro keeps starting up in safe mode and then just before halfway through it turns off

    I shutdown my mac as it was working slowly. The startup disk was almost full so I decided to restart it. Once I restarted it it was stuck trying to start up so I restarted it in safe mode. Now the safe mode bar loads about 40% then disappears completely after which the mac turns off. I have tried PRAM reset. What is likely to be the problem?

    Maximillianmann,
    depending upon how full “almost full” actually is, that could be the problem.
    You can try this, if you have Mac OS X 10.7 or newer installed, to see if it’s not related to your disk being almost full: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Once you hear the startup chime, try booting into Safe mode; does it let you do so now?
