The internal drive has failed.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    Try this...
    Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
    cmd /k netsh winsock reset
    Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
    You should get something similar to this:
    Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
    If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

  • Macbook pro 2011 wont boot

    Hi,
    I need a help regarding issues with my macbook pro. I am getting bluescreen on start up. Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzryrh5x-Rs
    I did new reinstall of mountain lion but it was working for about 10min, after I did first update, I did restart but it just stopped at grey screen.
    I went also to apple shop, they did tests and said that all HW tests are ok and it should be something software related.
    What could be causing this issues? Could be logic bord regarding all HW tests?
    Interesting thing is that when it is doing recovery it can be powered whole night with no problems.
    A also did pram reset but no luck.
    Tnx

    Run these steps first. I see you reinstalled. Run the other troubleshooting options, particularly in the second article.
    If you see a blue screen at startup - Support - Apple
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Support - Apple
    If it persists, run the Apple hardware test. It could be your logicboard ...specifically thinking your discrete GPU since this has been such a big issue for these models.
    Using Apple Hardware Test - Support - Apple
    Message was edited by: nbar Completely misread the OP. I see hardware diagnostics checked out. Can you boot into SAFE MODE without trouble?

  • Macbook pro a1150 wont boot past kernel, stuck on gray screen.

    got a macbook pro a1150 ati 1600 gpu.  last for characters in sn are vww.  will not boot past gray screen after the gray screen with the apple logo.  it has a fresh install of 10.6 on a new hard drive from a laptop of the same exact kind.  when in target mode and its Hard Drive used as a boot divice, it will boot.  no broken graphic on startup with the apple icon and the pin wheel spinning.  boots to safe mode just fine, will even do updates.  but will not boot from the NEW hard drive or the dvd rom.  when i put the old hard drive in with 10.5 it wont boot past the blue screen and the same with the 10.5 install disc i baught.  reset pram, changed ram, removed wifi card and even tried disconnecting the dvd rom but still will not go to the login screen.  even disabled auto login (when it was in target mode).  do i reflow the gpu? is it a gpu problem?  one thing strange.... in safe mode, lines show up on the mouse icon and just that.  the rest of the screen shows everything fine, i've seen this before with the nvidia chipset but not with ati.  how do i fix it?

    to better explain... the macbook pro in question never get to the blue startup screen which happenes before the login menu.  not though dvd rom, hard drive, external dvd rom or external hard drive.  just stop there.  i hear the hard drive working / dvd spinning and the computer reading the disc but after a few min of just seeing the grey screen both would spin down.

  • Macbook pro (retina) wont boot - can't get to recovery

    I'm having a bizarre problem with my Macbook pro retina 15".
    I was using bootcamp/booted into windows and playing Star wars the old republic when the machine suddenly froze, then the display started going into lots of squares of multiple colours.
    When I try to boot in to OSX it freezes after the apple logo and the small cirle stops. If I try get to the recovery by pressing cmd + r the same thing happens. I've also tried using the internet recovery option, the same thing happens after it connects to my wifi etc.
    If I press alt during bootup to get to the different drives to boot from, the icons (i.e. OSX or bootcamp) are displayed but are slightly brown and look a bit distorted. If I select bootcamp and try to boot into windows the squares/distorted screen issue starts again.
    I have also tried booting from a mountain lion install usb i made - same probelm as above: freezes after apple logo.
    I've also tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM or whatever its called.
    Does anyone have any ideas I can try as I can't call Apple care til Monday now?
    Thanks

    Nope. Your only option is to take it to an Apple Genius Bar as your system is FUBAR. More then likely a hardware problem from over heating.

  • MacBook pro won't boot up Keeps turning off

    MacBook pro won't boot up.  When power button pressed the white screen w apple comes on w progress bar but shuts off before bar completed. If I move cursor or hit buttons it boots but will turn off if cursor stops Moving or stop pushing buttons.  Just started happening.   Ran hardware test and all shows ok.  Any ideas??

    Thanks for all the help; however, I still continue to have problems booting off of any other media.
    I've tried the Apple CD w/ no success - I made an image of the apple cd and restored it to a USB drive, and it won't boot. I've tested both methods on another mac, and both options boot fine.
    I'm going with my last restort here and am going to install OSX on a portable USB HD, and try to boot off of that (no clue if it will work given the outcomes of the other things I have tried). From there I'm going to backup the HD, and try DW as suggested.
    Any thoughts as to why the mac refuses to boot off of any other media? It always boots halfway and then tells me I need to shutdown my mac.
    Thanks again,

  • My Macbook Pro 2011 wont boot properly. only when batter is disconnected. HELP

    hi all.
    i have recently bought a macbook pro, 2011 i5 4GB knowing it wasn't fully working, but i need some help.
    when i try and power it on, nothing happens at all (it did turn on once for about 10 seconds, then shut itself down.) i have since been playing around with it, fault finding, and i have found out that if i have the battery disconnected, and have it connected to the charger it works! (if holding CMD+D.) i have tried running the hardwear test, but when holding down the relivent keys on startup it just continues to load the OS X as normal. i do not have the start up discs either. im not entirely sure where to go from here, id love to know what could possibly be causing this fault. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

    Update - I've got it all powered up, updated etc. it only doesn't start now after a forced shutdown (holding off button) if I press shutdown, restart etc it works fine. Really want this sorted, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm ripping my hair out! Thanks

  • How can I transfer data (iTunes/iPhoto) MacBook Pro (Late 2011) to my brand new iMac 27" - Apple Support couldn't help me and did not make the promised call-back

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and bought a brand new iMac 27" last week.
    I tried to transfer data (musdic & photos) via Thunderbolt, but i did not run, my system always
    tries to transfer data via WLAN, but that would last more than 80 hours.
    I tried to get some help from the Apple Support, but unfortunately they couldn't help me.
    A promised call-back from the next higher support-level has not been done.
    Does anybody know what the problem might be.
    The Thunderbolt-cable is brand new.

    Instead of using Migration Assistant, the best way is to use the Target Disk Mode, so you will save headaches (Migration Assistant creates a new user with the transferred data).
    To do this, just connect both Macs with the Thunderbolt cable, and then, start the MacBook Pro holding the T key, so a Thunderbolt or FireWire icon should appear on the display. After that, go to the iMac, open Finder, and the hard drive of the MacBook Pro will appear on the Finder sidebar as an external drive, under "Devices". Just access to it, go to the folders with your iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and copy them to the iMac

  • Hi, I tried to erase my computer and when I turned it back on it went to internet recovery. How do I get past that step so I can use my computer again?

    I really need this. I am still in school and I have papers due, please anything will help!

    It's not clear what you tried to do or why, but if you intended to wipe everything clean, run the OS X Installer in Internet Recovery. When it's done, the machine will be in the same state as when you took it out of the box, except that the bundled iLife applications will be gone. All your data will be gone too. If that's not what you want, DO NOT follow these instructions.

  • MacBook Pro: Tiger wont boot past grey apple screen w/ spinning gear, HELP!

    Hey everybody,
    I have a 1.83 Ghz MBP with 512 mb of RAM (lame I know). The other day someone was using my computer to burn a CD on iTunes when all of my programs began failing. On instinct I rebooted my computer to solve the problem. Alas, now I cant boot past the grey apple screen, and the gear is spinning away. Saddest part of the story is that I had time set aside to back up my computer the day after this happened . Anyway what is the best thing to do from here? I haven't made any moves to fix it yet really, so what is the best thing that I can do to try and get my files back?
    Thank you,
    Sam A.

    Hi, I posted to you in yoour other thread.
    I very much doubt Disk Utility or fsck will fix an +Invalid Node Structure+ error. That's a pretty serious error and DU is just not robust enough of a utility to repair it.
    If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy. Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand.
    If you have a good backup, hopefully a clone of your system before you had issues, an Erase and Install will also rid you of this issue. But, beware! You will lose everything on the drive with this procedure. Let us know if you need help with that!
    Cheers! DALE
    p.s. If the +Invalid Node Structure+ is real bad, there's a risk even the mighty DiskWarrior will not be able to help. Normally it will come thru; it's only in the severe cases it won't be able to do it. If you don't have a backup, and need the data bad, it's worth the try!

  • Macbook pro retina wont boot

    A week old laptop refuses to boot have tried everything availiable online still no luck!
    Are apple skiming on quality?

    Many thanks, will try and get it replaced if lucky as get back to London on the 13th of January as presently in Kenya. Was happy with my original bought last year which has worked flwlessly so picked another for my daughter, however having it die in less than ten days is a pain as gave it to her as a Christmas present.
    What is the procedure when you book a genius appointment?
    Are they supposed to get it working while you wait?
    If they cant manage this do they replace the same machine?
    Any advice is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • Macbook pro 17" wont boot up

    Greetings,
    I left my macbook working on my desk , when i came back back the computer was in sleep mode, the computer woke up but the screen did not turn on, however i could hear the sounds of OS X when i clicked on the volume keys but no video. after holding the power button for 7 seconds the computer turned off. when i tried restarting the computer the sleep light would light up and remain solid, but it would not boot.
    Took the ram out and the sleep light blinks 3 times, but when i put the ram back again but it goes back to the solid sleep light with out doing nothing
    some steps i took
    -battery is fully charged and it charges the battery
    -unable to do a pram
    -took off battery and disconnected form wall and hold the Power button for 8 second
    i would also note that this machine had the logic board replaced due to the nvidia 8600gt recall.
    Thank you in advance
    -Illankid

    well i took my mac to an apple authorized service center, the tech told me that computer does not boot up and thus they are not able to perform the "nvidia test" which mean that the laptop does not fall under the recall. so im stuck on ordering a new logic board on my dime.ill update on my decision.i am missing it.
