My
MacBook Pro won't load any google pages or Yahoo. This happened after I backed Up Everything on an external hard drive.
I tried resetting Safari, emptying the cache, deleting any cookies related to google, and as booting up with my Mac cd and running utility.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Are there any parental controls?

Dual hard drive macbook pro, triple boot, win7 won't load
As you have requested @ChristopherMurphy:
I've got somewhat of a unique situation (I believe).
I have a 13" Macbook Pro 9,2 (mid-2012). It came with a 750gb SATA HDD and internal optical drive. I installed a Samsung 840 Pro 256gb SSD in place of the HDD, then put the HDD in place of the optical drive. I have the system set up so that the SSD is my primary OSX drive with one single visible partition. Then I have the HDD set up so that the first 500gb is an HFS partition, and the rest is set aside for bootcamp. It was originally one 750gb single HFS partition, but then I used the boot camp assistant to section off the last 250gb for windows.
For the life of me I couldn't get a bootcamp install to work off of a Boot Camp Assistant created a x64 Win7 USB stick, until I read somewhere that I needed to actually disconnect the sata connector for my SSD. This worked, and Win7 was able to format from FAT32 to NTFS, then install and boot correctly from the HDD (with the SSD unplugged), and leave the HFS 500gb partition intact.
Then when I plugged back in the SSD, OSX can see that there is a bootable partition when I go in to "Choose Startup Disk" in SysPrefs, and if I hit the option key while booting, but all I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor. I believe that x64 Win7 is mad at me because I have changed the drive numbers that it uses to references how to boot up properly. I believe the solution may lay in running a Win7 boot repair set of commands, but I can't seem to access the Win 7 recovery console or "Repair Installation" feature using the USB stick that BCA created.
To complicate matters further, I successfully created a Ubuntu 13.04 USB stick, used rEFIt to boot off of it, and then had it split off and use the second half of my 250gb ntfs partition on the HDD to install linux.
To complicate things even further, I am using filevault2 with FIPS encryption module to encrypt both the SSD, and the HFS partition on the HDD.
I have installed rEFIt and used "bless" to have it be my boot selection menu (as instructed here: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple/MacBookAir/2-1#EFI_and_Partitio ning). I can boot successfully into OSX, and I can boot successfully into Ubuntu. I still can't boot into Win7 though.
Here is the output from a variety of commands I've seen you ask others for: (http://pastebin.com/u3V01iWR)

Ubuntu and Win7 are installed on the final 250gb section of the 750gb hdd that I have connected to the Optical Drive SATA connector using a HDD optibay caddy.
i can successfully boot into the Filevault2 unlock screen, then into OSX on the SSD using the stock Apple EFI or rEFIt.
i can also successfully boot into Ubuntu using rEFIt.
The Apple EFI bootloader and rEFIt both can see the Windows installation and claim to be able to boot it, but it just hangs at a black screen with blinking cursor.
i have quite a bit of experience messing with partition tables in troubleshooting a friend's borked dell laptop that had a bunch of dell custom partitions on the drive. i've used Hiren's bootcd and many of the tools on it before. This EFI GPT + MBR stuff is a whole different animal for me though.
Can I use any of the commands listed below from a windows 7 recovery USB stick?

Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?
I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?
Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.

MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, why
MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Won't recognize disc, Why??? When I load a disc into the computer it sounds like it attempts to open 3-4 times and then ejects it without any window opening or explaination
Hi northsidecapt4211,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some troubleshooting steps you can take if your MacBook Pro isn't reading CDs:
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
The MacBook Air SuperDrive is designed to be used with MacBook Air and Mac mini computers that do not have a built-in optical drive. For best results, connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X 10.7 Lion or later: Open System Information by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click System Report.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
Cheers,

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge.
So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge. When the charger is plugged in the light remains green as if it is fully charge. Before it died the laptop still recognized the charger but wouldn't charge. And now won't turn on.
If you've a 2013 model, depending on when you purchased the machine, I would suppose that you're still under warranty or at least purchased AppleCare? Regardless, I would take the kit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the computer (and, if you're still under warranty, fix the computer) and, if necessary, give you an estimate for repair.
There are all sorts of things that could be wrong - a faulty adapter, bad cabling, even the entire electrical circuitry may have gone bad.
You won't know unless you had an Apple tech look it over.
Good luck,

My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix. The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro. So DVD is ok. Message says "not permitted" when I click play. Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?
Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

My Macbook Pro starts beeping and won't turn on. Any ideas?
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro. It now won't turn on even though the light goes on. It also makes a beeping noise that won't stop until I force it to shut down. Does anyone have any ideas?
Normally - one would think that your RAM went bad if it's 3 beeps.
It could also mean that macbook can not find any valid os installed.
Have you recently upgraded your RAM? if so - take them out and install the old one back and see what happens.
if however, you never upgraded your RAM - best suggestion is to take it to Apple and have them take a look at it. -
Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off.
Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off after a few seconds, but the Windows bootcamp partition works fine.
The repair disc option (using install disc) failed, and the computer cannot locate the original Mac side partition. Only Bootcamp appears under options to "restore from backup" or reinstall. The repair disc options says it should be repaired but doesn't seem to know how.

Snow leaopard
Bootcamped with Windows.
Any ideas?Hold c or option key and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, run DU Repair from there.
run through this list of fixes 1-8
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If it doens't work, you can recover files if you don't have any current OS X file backups, then grab what you can out of Bootcamp
Use Data Rescue installed on the extenral boot drive ($100) to read the bits of the internal (non-filevaulted) drive to retrieve OS X data files if you can't get them off manually via drag and drop methods.
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
If you want to clone Windows, use WinClone and another drive. However it's likely compromised, unless it something you did in Windows, like trying to create a new parttition perhaps?
Then perform a Zero Erase and install of 10.6 as shown here (on the entire drive, not only the parittions), this will give a new GUID partition table, EFI and map off bad sectors, totally fresh everything.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
You cna use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the new extenral setup to the new scrubbed internal drive. Recreate Bootcamp and WinClone back or fresh install Windows into Bootcamp like before. OR opt to use virtual machine software which is safer.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
Windows 7 can write to the boot drives GUID partition map (unlike XP), this is likely why it's borked now. -

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding your Shift key down when booting. Also, try holding the eject key down when booting to eject the DVD. If you plug a mouse in and hold the clicker down when booting, that should eject the DVD.

Try starting in Safe mode by holding down the Shift key while booting. Safe mode takes a while to load the OS. After that, restart the computer normally.
If that does not work, start up in Recovery by holding down the Command and R keys. In the window that opens, choose Disk Utility at the bottom and verify and repair your disk. Repair permissions while you are there. -
