My MacBook Pro mid-2009 will not restart after a failed repair attempt in Disk Utility

After attempting to repair my MacBook Pro in Disk Utility (Ctrl-R recovery mode), I tried rebooting with no success. Then I tried to re-boot in Safe Mode with the same result - basically, the progress bar goes to about halfway and then the computer shuts down. Then, I tried leaving it overnight with no activity and trying to re-boot in the morning. Still had the same result.
I would just re-install Mountain Lion, but I have some recent pictures and videos that aren't backed up yet.
Any ideas on how to reboot (and/or how to back up my files without having to start up my computer)?

You can install OS X on a external powered drive and boot the computer from it, then access your user files folders for recovery then erase and install from the Internet Recovery (command option r) or the 10.6 install disks, then upgrade again in AppStore, then restore your files.

Macbook Pro mid 2009 will not boot unless SMC is reset (macbookpro5,5)

Hello!
I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro (macbookpro5,5) and I've had this weird issue for like a month, and I ran out of ideas.
So my problem is: whenever I turn on my mbp (either on OS X or Windows 7) it will go to sleep (on OS X after it shows the login screen and on Windows when it's loading) and when it wakes up, *it goes to sleep again*!
I kinda panicked back then because I couldn't get to boot the machine for all what was worth, but then I tried resetting the SMC and voila! it booted; and I thought that was it, but no, it wasn't: *I have to reset the SMC everytime I turn on the mbp*, or else the same sleeping loop will happen again and again.
This happened after installing the first March Update that Apple released (which misteriously only addressed iTunes issues - supposedly) on OS X. I already tried looking for SMC or EFI updates (just in case) and I already have the current versions (just EFI, SMC updates were never released for this mbp) so now I have no clue on what to do...
And what really puzzles me is that I disabled sleep when closing the lid on Windows 7, and it worked fine, but after this issue, it just goes to sleep, even when I see the closing the lid option on "do nothing", it's just weird.
Does anybody had some sort of trouble like that?? or anyone has some hints that may help me??

Well, it seems that apple fixed this issue in the 10.6.7 update. I kinda wish there was a little more documentation about the patches released and what files they modify, since no update was released to the SMC, I have no idea why it had to modify it. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Help! My MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) will not load!

My MacBook Pro will turn on and off. When I turn it on, I hear the chime and the fan, but all I see is the Apple logo with the loading circle. It stays on that screen forever and sometimes a "no symbol" (circle with line through it) will come up. It just started doing this one day. I opened my computer after it was asleep, and my log in box never popped up for me to type my password in. So I turned it off and this problem started when I turned it on. what is wrong and is there anything I can do to fix it?

Macbook pro mid 2009 - beach ball spinning after one hour

Hi,
I have a problem with my macbook pro mid 2009. After one hour of working the beach ball starts spinning and you cannot work anylonger.
You have to force shut down the macbook pro and restart it. The same problem appears once I wanna do a back-up on my time capsule, but then I receive at least a report after restart:

Hi,
I just found the problem. I just have to update the firmware of my SSD:
Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs 5184 hours power-on time BSOD issue
Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs with firmware earlier than 70H / 07M could become unresponsive after 5184 hours of Power-on time. The drive will recover after a power cycle, however, this failure will repeat once per hour after reaching this point. Update firmware to version 70H / 07M or later.
My SSD has now 5690hours...

Hi,
I have a grey screen and grey rotating wheel startup probs.

Is an erase the only option? PS I have backed up most files individually, but my daughter did not back up any from her user account. Any help would be appreciated. J

My Macbook Pro (mid 2012) will not go to sleep

Hi - looking forward to your help!
My Macbook Pro simply will not go to sleep - not by shutting the lid or pressing the sleep button in the Apple dropdown.
There are no random apps that are preventing it from sleeping - I have checked after looking at a blog and using "terminal".
The poor thing is getting really tired and bad tempered, so your help will be appreciated!
Many thanks!

Hope info from this article is helpful.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1776

My Macbook Pro (mid 2007) will not go to sleep.

When I close the lid, select sleep from the  menu, or push the power button, and select "sleep" my MBP will not go to sleep as it ussually does. It has been doing this since I performed the last set of software updates (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53) about a week ago.
I need help... this is annoying

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
Here is Apple's KB article HT1776 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file. If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password). If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Some have resolved sleep issue by downloading the Combo update, from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse,Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try
USER TIPS……..
Check in System Preferences > Energy Saver is "Wake for network access" checked? If so, uncheck it.
One user reported, " I couldn't make my macbook pro to go to sleep because I had my wireless headphone receiver still plugged in. I unplugged it and then it went to sleep."
Also, if you have an External Western Digital (WD) hard drive and have installed WDDMService and WDSmartWareD on your Mac, it may not sleep. Fix is to un-install those....you don't need them to use the drive.
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
One provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB card.
Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute. After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
"I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps. Check the printer queue!"
One user has had success, after trying all these tips, using an App. called PleaseSleep. I've never used it though.
Good Luck! 

MacBook Pro mid 2012 will NOT load any Internet page

Hey guys, my MacBook Pro won't load any web pages. It's connected to my wifi and I've tried everything I can find on the Internet (on my phone) to fix this issue. Every other device I have connects just fine. The web page no matter what it is loads up about 1/10 the way and stops completely. After several minutes it will tell me "Safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding. I've done network diagnostics and it said "Your Internet connection appears to working correctly." Anyone have any idea how to solve this? It's been going on for about a week and I need my laptop for class. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I can't even reinstall the OS X because my computer cannot connect to apple to verify I'm aloud to reinstall it. This is very frustrating someone please help.

Macbook pro (snow leopard) will not boot after software update

I helped my mom buy a Macbook Pro for herself for Christmas. Today, I connected it to her old eMac and used the migration assistant to transfer files over. It was unable to estimate migration time on the only user (after 45 minutes) so I didn't migrate the user. Then I tried to pair her macbook to her new bluetooth keyboard, but no magic happened, so I tried to use the bluetooth setup assistant, which crashed. So I ran a software update, hoping that this would fix whatever the bluetooth problem is. Despite having updated on the 23rd, there were 4 updates. None seemed applicable but I installed them anyway. Now the computer won't boot at all.
Software update said that I had to restart for the updates to take effect, so I restarted. The harddrive went whirrrrrr and the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning circle displayed. Then the harddrive stopped going whirrrr and 10 minutes later, I started looking on the support site for what to do. I found this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10564149&#10564149
Per the instructions in the last post, I fscked the drive (although -f, in accordance with the fsck help). This found no problems. The next suggestion was to boot from the OSX install disk. Only one problem-- there was a disk in the disk drive when the problem occurred and the disk eject button apparently only works while in the gui. I can't install from disk if I can't get the existing disk out of the drive.
So, any other ideas on what I can do to get this machine to boot?

Hi Jen:
Since it's new, you're entitled to 90 days of phone support (3 years if you buy AppleCare). It sounds to me like you may have some hardware issue(s) going on - you should not have the sorts of issues you're having with a new Mac. Apple will probably be much better and faster about getting you fixed than this board may be able to if that is the case.

My Macbook Pro mid 2012 is not reading/connecting to my (working)external hard disk(also not showing in disk utility)

I connected my 500GB Storjet external hard drive to my mac(Mountain Lion) http://in.transcend-info.com/products/Catlist.asp?modno=325 but it is not connecting to it. Disk Utility is also not showing it. and the hard disk is working... My PS3, My Sony TV and my other laptop(win7) is detecting it... Also whenever it gets connected a blue light blinks, but It doesnt for mac. I have tried reformatting to both FAT32 and NTFS... Please help..
Also I sorta screwed my Mac so I had to do the internet recovery thing and only after that such problems occured, it was working fine before. So it installed Lion first and then Mountain Lion. It wasn't working on any of the OS.

Power down the Mac, Full power off. Connect the drive using the Y cable and then turn the Mac back on.
If it still doesn't show in at least Disk Utility then start checking your USB ports to see if both are working properly. Just plug in a USB thumb drive and that should show in both Finder and Disk Utility. If one of the ports isn't seeing the thumb drive then that port is bad and the system needs to be services by Apple.

Computer will not restart after using it as a firewire disk

I was trying to transfer my photos and music from my Powerbook G4 to my Mac Mini so set up the laptop as a target firwire drive. The transfer work but when I went to re-boot my laptop it just sticks a few seconds afetr I turn it on with the spining cirical under the apple logo.
Any idea why this is the case and how I can fix it?

Hi Findlay ,
Try starting up in "Safe Mode". If that does not work boot from your OS 10.4 Install disk and run repair disk:
Repair Disk:
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear..
2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

First version MacBook Pro, 10.6.8, freezes with pixelated screen. Repaired HD with Disk Utility, but still happens. Temp gague shows max of 51C. Any ideas?

I have the first version MacBook Pro, running 10.6.8 (most current OS that works). It freezes with a pixelated screen. This may not happen for weeks, or it may happen every time i restart. I repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility, but the problem still happens. The temp gague shows a max of 51C. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Trackpad of MacBook Pro mid 2009 does not respond to the first click/tap

Have the following problem and wasn't able to find any sollution here somewhere
if I click on a link or choose a checkbox or do anything by clicking it does not work with the first click/tap and I have all settings right.
a PRAM reset had no effect on that problem.
so I still have to click/tap several times to access a menu, a safari-tab, or anything else…

thank you.
still I am not sure if it really solved my problem, but it looks very good.
was a bit irritated in the beginning, because I got no feadback if I had done the SMC reset right.
If the problem will be back too soon, I will continue this discussion.

Macbook Pro 8,2 will not wake after suspend

Hey friends,
I'm having problems with my MBP 8,2 waking after suspending it to ram via pm-suspend. This is output in pm-suspend.log:
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video suspend suspend:
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video suspend suspend: success.
Tue Oct 9 09:40:28 PDT 2012: performing suspend
Get video state buffer size failed
Allocated buffer at 0x11000 (base is 0x0)

Save video state failed
Real mode call failed
/usr/lib/pm-utils/functions: line 53: 938 Hangup s2ram --force $OPTS
Basically the MBP looks like it is suspending successfully, the light goes to the normal slow blink as it does in OSX, however when you try to wake it reboots.
Linux mbp-arch 3.6.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 7 19:23:11 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Edit: Suspend works w/o issue on Ubuntu 12.04
Please let me know what other information I can provide.
Thanks.

My optical drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 series is not working all the time.

I have a Macbook Pro mid 2009 series and just recently my optical drive is not working all the time. At times it decides to not spin a disk that has been inserted in the drive. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and this is one of the very few things i have to distract me from the day to day haul. This is something that just started to happen and its very fustrating since i have limited support for this.

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd
Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.
You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.
At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
This will bring up the Help Menu.
