My Mac book pro won't start! It boots as far as the sign in screen and then everything goes black. Please help.
Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., “15-inch Late 2011”) and which version of OS X are you running?

IMac G5 PowerPC boots up and freezes at light-blue screen
PowerPC G5 20" iMac, 2.0GHz, +260 GB harddrive, 2 GB of DDR SDRAM
Leopard OS 10.5.6
Computer starts up and freezes at light-blue screen. Mouse still moves, bu no keyboard commands work. Only holding the power button will shut down the computer.
Tried the following:
- Able to boot into Safe-mode only.
- Ran OS Disk Utility to repair permissions and also MacTuneUp 3.6.0, and no change
- Tried changing start-up to boot from OS 10.5.6 DVD and still freezes with light-blue screen. Safe-mode allowed me to run Disk Utility but no difference.
- If I leave the frozen light-blue screen, eventually the iMac power-saving mode darkens the screen, until I move the mouse (then light-blue again and still frozen).
- I left my iPhone connected to the iMac, and when starting up the computer the iPhone started charging. When the light blue screen froze the iPhone stopped charging.
- tried starting computer with Options + Command keys
- tried + Options-Command-P-R untill you hear two beeps: Reset NVRAM (restart 3x)
- tried Resetting the SMU > Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord. > Wait 10 seconds.> Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer. > Let go of the power button. > Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
Questions:
> When booting from OS 10.5.6 DVD, Should I run Time Machine Restore system from Backup?
> I can work fine in Safe-mode all day, but limited resources. Is this a software or hardware issue?Based on what you have you tried I would guess it is hardware problem.
First iMac's without camera and with GeForce FX 5200 graphics card are known of having capacitor failures which can cause the machine either to become unstable in different situations or fail to boot up at all. I have repaired many of them and changing capacitors brought completedly dead iMac (no power, no nothing) up to life so capacitors mean a lot.
Second and third it's mainly the graphics card which fails, causing the machine to fail to boot, become unstable or boot with artifact patterns in picture.
There has also been power supply issues and Apple did issue a recall back then, I think you can still find article about it and check if your machine has serial number which fits to that recall problem. This way you could check if you should suspect power supply going bad.
Capacitor problem is usually easy to identify (open up the case and look if those can-like things are bulging or swollen) and quite easy to repair if you have bit experience in computers and soldering, iFixit.com provides great disassembly instructions. Graphics card problem is harder to identify because in that case it is the solder which breaks under the graphic chip so you cannot actually see the defect. It is also harder to repair atleast if you want the machine to work long time after that repair. Basically you would need to heat the GPU enough to reflow solder connections.
Because the machine can boot into safe mode I'm suspecting that you have some of these issues I described, safe mode does not utilize hardware at full power and disable full graphics acceleration for example. -

New iMac will not boot, even from disk and in Safe Mode
I'm stuck on the grey spinny screen.
Here's what happened:
I tried to share my Macintosh HD on my network, then, when it was finished, a whole bunch of errors popped up saying that I would have to reinstall. So I restarted, now it chimes and boots to the grey screen and is stuck there. I tried to boot from the CD, but it didn't work, I also tried to use the reinstall disk which didn't work either.MashedPotato wrote:

Your welcome and thanks for the star. Yes it take longer to boot because discs are not as quick as disks. -
My delete button in my to do's closes the app. I've closed all the background running apps and have restarted my phone and even tried syncing to my iTunes. It's driving me nuts. Please help!
Will not complete a sync without crashing and saying cannot read to the device or something to that effect.
That sounds familiar.
Just doublechecking ... have you worked through the suggestions from the following document in the course of your troubleshooting to date?
[What to do when Windows displays a blue screen error message or restarts when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502]
(The stuff I was worried about in my initial reply has since been documented in its own troubleshooting document. Some of the symptoms of that are covered in: [iTunes for Windows: System restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3441] ) -
new imac running lion 10.7.2 partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers???? please help
I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
Hope that helps -
New imac doesn't recognize firewire 400
Just got the new imac and transferred all data from my old (non-intel) imac using a firewire 400-to-800 adapter.
Now, my new imac doesn't recognize my external (400 firewire) drives anymore. One of the drives has an USB which works with the new mac but transfers are very vey slow. The other drive has only firewire 400 and doesn't get recognized at all.
Any solutions?
Thanks.Adapters can be troublesome, I'd recommend replacing with a Firewire 400 to 800 cable like this one. You can normally find these at your local computer store, Radio Shack or of course Amazon.

My new iMac doesn't support Photoshop as it is a power pc application. How can I install it ?
My new iMac doesn't support Photoshop as it iis telling me that it is a power pc application, which is no longer supported ....
How can I install it ?
Or does this mean I have to splash out on a new copy ... and all the expense that that entails ...Which version of Photoshop are you trying to install?
Which operating system are you trying to install it on?
In short, if you're trying to install an older PowerPC version of Photoshop onto an Intel-based Mac then you're out of luck.
You could look into purchasing Photoshop Elements 11. -
New-imac-early-adopters-boot-camp
Just got this from a google alert.
Anyone knows if paralels is also not comparable with the new imacs?
http://bgr.com/2012/12/19/new-imac-early-adopters-boot-camp-259318/It is because of the 3TB drive. Since BC needs to create a FAT volume for Windows to install to it can't do that on that large a drive, 2TB limit.
There was a post the other day how to get around this and use BC to install Windows. It has to do with Partitioning the drive to a smaller size from a Boot disc/USB thumb. -
My iMac doesn't boot up. I get a boot tone, apple logo, spinning gear, and progress bar across the bottom. After the progress bar completes (usually 5 - 8 mins), then I just have the apple logo and spinning gear. Tried unplugging for a few minutes; same problem. Tried safe mode boot up (read that in the community somewhere); same problem.
This is my wife's computer so I'm not sure what OS version she is running. Can anyone helpThis is my wife's computer so I'm not sure what OS version she is running.
Ask her. It's very hard to provide troubleshooting suggestions when we do not know which OS is installed. The wrong suggestions can damage your system. If your wife has AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/the problem.

My 2011 IMac will not boot up past the White apple logo screen with the whirly circle
My 2011 IMac will not boot up past the White apple logo screen with the whirly circle. I have tried various commands but to no avail. does anybody have any advice?
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -
