My powerbook wont boot past gray screen

Hello there,
I had this problem for more then a year then 2 days ago I was able to start it in safe mood witch I never tried before. I was planning on not turning it off but it got stuck. Now it sometimes dose not even show the small loading fan under the apple or takes a long time to show. I rested the PRAM , But nothing. I don’t have the CD that erase or restores the computer they both broke a while ago. Any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Hello,
Let me get this correct. You have a PowerBook yet you've indicated you are running Windows XP. That is impossible. On your PBook, go to the Apple logo top left on your screen, click the Apple, then click " About This Mac" ... a window will open. Where it says: Mac OS X... just under that it will tell you exactly which version.
Considering you do not have the system restore disks that came with your PBook, you haven't anyway to check the drive for errors. So I suggest you take the PBook in for service. Look for a local Apple store or an Apple reseller that provides technical support.

  • Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen

    Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen
    my system:
    new (month old) 24" intel imac, 2.8 ghz, 4 gb ram.
    running: leopard (upgraded from tiger, which was pre-installed at purchase), installed 10.5.1 update right before this huge problem occurred.
    install discs on-hand: two-disc tiget set, single leopard upgrade disc.
    what led to this:
    i wanted to install windows using bootcamp on a 50 gb partition.
    at this point i was running leopard 10.5
    i followed all bootcamp instructions, printing out the guide, as well. once i got into the windows setup, i was prompted to choose a partition to install windows. unlike the bootcamp guide, which showed three partitions, one clearly labeled "bootcamp", i saw only one partition. not wanting to risk writing over my mac partition, i quit the setup and rebooted the mac os. after some googling around, i looked for firmware updates (didn't need any), and then software updates. i decided to try updating to 10.5.1.
    i then ran through boot camp again, deleting my previous windows partition, creating a new one, and moving forward as before. once again, i was only shown one partition to choose from in the windows setup. i exited the setup again to reboot through the mac os, but this time, i was only given a blank gray screen.
    here's what i have tried so far:
    booting from a CD, holding down the C or D keys: no response (in fact, i have to restart the computer holding down the mouse button to be able to eject the CD)
    booting with option key held down: gray screen
    booting with option key held down with external bootable firewire drive attached: the firewire drive appears as a boot icon, and i can click on it within a five second window, but then the screen freezes after that time period, and nothing changes
    booting into target mode while attached to another mac: gray screen (no firewire icon, and drive never shows up on other mac)
    resetting NVRAM: i'm able to hear the boot chimes, but no difference in performance. gray screen every time
    Safe boot: nothing but a gray screen
    Verbose mode: gray screen
    Single user mode: gray screen
    Single user mode with firewire drive attached: occasionally (not every time), i am able to get the white on black terminal to show up. from here, i'm able to run fsck, but it appears to only be checking the firewire drive. i have tried several times to boot from here, and once it took me to a blue screen with movable arrow cursor, but it never went beyond this.
    is there anything else left to try before taking it to apple?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

    I'd call Apple support at this point. You'll need
    to put this issue on the record.
    Call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
    The wait may be long for an agent to come on the line
    so expect that and have some other stuff to do in the meantime.
    If you have the applecare protection plan, I'd ask about "onsite"
    service.
    I like your work ! Good luck !

  • IMac Does not boot past Gray Screen

    iMac does not boot past Gray Screen.  2008 24" Intel iMac running Mountain Lion with 1TB hard drive. 
    Problem started yesterday while I was web surfing, and my iMac frooze and shutdown.  I rebooted and could only get as far as the gray screen. 
    On bootup the following things happen:
    Startup tone
    Gray screen with Apple, and gear spins below Apple. 
    Once the gear stops spinning, nothing happends. 
    Troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    removed all devices connected to iMac and rebooted, but same symptons occur.
    booted into Safe mode and run disk utilites.
         Disk Utilities found no errors on the drive, but did find two permission issues that it was able to fix.
              First permission issue: 
                       "Group differs on library; Should be 0; group is 80"
              Second permission issue:
                        "Permissons differ on library; Should be drwxr-xr-x; They are drwxrwxr-t"
    Disk Utilities says it fixes these issues and then I reboot, but get the same problem.
    I reboot back into Safe Mode and run Disk Utilities and it discovers the same problems listed above with Permissions.  It says it fixes them, I reboot, but the same problem occurs.  Its as if we are stuck in some sort of loop process. 
    Booted into Single User Mode and ran the following command:
         /SBin/fsck -fy   it reports back,  Volume Apprears to be ok. 
    I reboot, same issue !
    Performed SMC Reset, Rebooted, same issue
    Performed PRAM Reset, Rebooted, same issue.
    Booted into Recovery Partitioin (Command R) and ran disk utilities.  It found the same permission issues listed above.  It fixed them.  I rebooted.  Same problem still. 
    While in safe mode, I preformed a full time machine backup. 
    I am out of ideas.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Hello,
    I reboot back into Safe Mode and run Disk Utilities and it discovers the same problems listed above with Permissions.
    You can ignore repeated "fixes" it's not really a problem, if it says completed repairs that's all that's needed.
    Luckily it boots in Safe Mode, here's basically the steps to try to find out what it is...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
    /private/var/run/StartupItems
    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    Though I'm suspecting some corruption to your OS at the moment.

  • IMac wont boot Past Grey Screen, finder folder with blinking question mark

    iMac G5 won't boot Past Grey Screen. The G5 froze and i restarted, It will not go past the grey screen and it has the finder folder with blinking question mark, also the fans kick on wide open. As it atempts to boot a sound plays "beepda beepda beepda beep" that starts quiet and gets louder and repeats a couple of times. I ran a hardware check on the startup disk and all hardware passed. I thought it might be the RAM any suggestions?
    I have restarted using the troubleshooting methods in the guide.

    Sorry for the late reply. The drive shows up when booting to disk, but it will not allow you to verify disk or repair. Also it will not allow you to select the hard drive to reinstall the software. Under disk utility Maxtor sabre shows up with total capacity:0 bytes.
    I've taking the Mac to the Apple store to get looked at, and its probly the hard drive. Now Im trying to see if theres a way to recover the data myself. I've used software like "Data Rescue" the hard drive shows up "Maxtor Sabre" totally capacity: 0 bytes, and it will not recover anything.
    Did this test just to see if it was power problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2173
    Thats when noticed the beeps are coming from the hard drive. So its getting power.
    Now just wondering how to recover data.
    Any suggestions?

  • Why won't my PowerBook G4 boot past grey screen?

    Have a G4 PowerBook running OSX that isn't interested in booting past the gray screen with spinning gear.  Tried rebooting holding down shift key to no effect.  Also reset PRAM, but only got a solid blue screen attended by much clickIng.  Don't have the OS disks, but not sure that would help in this case.  Main battery needs replacement, but I've only using this computer on AC. It's been booting fine for years without issue..  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    See this Apple note on dealing with the gray screen on boot. You will need to boot from something else to do the disk repair step ... either an OS X disk or a bootable backup, since you can't repair the disk you're booted from. 

  • Won't boot past gray screen

    I recently tried to upgrade RAM from 2x256 MB to 2x512 MB (PNY PC133 SODIMM 133Mhz). This worked at first and checking "About this Mac" indicated 1GB of RAM. But trying to use Safari or Firefox would freeze the computer and I'd have to hold the power button to reset. I put the original RAM back and now I can't get past the Gray Screen with spinning gear. I'm stuck at this screen with either set of RAM in. I tried to boot with the Apple Hardware Test disc, which worked and showed that everything was working fine (Logic Board, HD, & Memory included). Any suggestions?

    thunderable and fantast1cdan
    It sounds like both of your PowerBooks are suffering from a failed internal hard drive. If you have a cloned, fully bootable, backup on an external FireWire hard drive then try starting up from that. If that works then it suggests the PB's logic board is alright and the problem is most likely to be the hard drive.
    If the failure is due, perhaps, to a software corruption then DiskWarrior might be able to resurrect it by repairing the directory.
    On the other hand a complete erase and 'zero all data' might sometimes help as it will map out any bad blacks that are on the drive. Obviously to do this you need to be able to startup using the original installer disc - but that does not seem possible at the moment.
    Alternatively if you have access to another FW-equipped Mac then try using FireWire Target Disk Mode to see if the drive can be accessed.
    thunderable
    Unable to eject properly, I unplugged the external drive and was able to reboot and get almost to the logon screen, but it wouldn't go any further. Since then I cannot get past the gray screen with the Apple logo and spinning circle.
    Are you referring to the internal hard drive when you say that you were able to reboot almost to the login screen? Or were you trying to reboot from the external drive?

  • IMac G5 will not boot past gray screen

    After successfully upgrading from Tiger to Leopard my computer won't get past the gray screen and the turning circle. How do I get my computer to turn on? Can anyone help!!!!!!

    One more solution. The older base iMacs came with 256MB of RAM. Leopard requires a minimum of 512 MB to boot. Check how much RAM you have, and get at least 512MB more. It's cheap at Crucial or Kingston sites. Don't buy cheap RAM, it will give you headaches.

  • G4 Power Mac won't boot past gray screen

    I have a mirror door g4 power pc that had been having some issues with not turning on, and after testing the power supply, it failed miserably. We placed a refurbished power supply in it from a company in New York and the computer was working wonderfully. I went on a cruise last week and went to turn the computer on for the first time in a week and a few days. The CPU turns on, the unit chimes, the fan turns on and the computer starts to boot up, but it won't boot past the gray apple logo screen.
    Actually, the first few attempts to boot it resulted in a blue screen with gaint apple logo and spinner; it wouldn't advance further. After several restarts and resets, I got it to come up into the normal gray screen. On several attempts it wouldn't boot further than this. On two occasions now though, it has moved past the gray screen to normal operation (it takes about an hour for it to get to that point though) but with some kind of errors. I get the side bar, but the gray panel on to with "file" ect is gone and my HD icon never comes up. The icons on the sidebar do not respond when clicked.
    The computer will not boot from the OS X disc.
    What's going on, hard drive? Virus? Something else?

    You likely have hard drive directory issues or worse.
    Virus is just a hopeful whimsy.
    No virus.
    I hope that you have a backup of your data.
    Try a Safe Mode boot. This forces system repair of the directory (if possible).
    Hold Shift while starting to enter Safe mode. Be patient, as it can take several minutes to complete.
    Failure to boot to the OS X disc is not good. A severely damaged drive can prevent boot while connected.
    Disconnect your boot drive and try booting to the OS X disc.

  • Imac G4 wont boot past grey screen desperatly want to fix it!!!!

    Hi there,
    Please can someone help.....
    I got a Imac G4 at the weekend for a bargin, but it wont boot up.  When i turn it on it makes the noise and comes up with a grey screen with the apple logo and the loading circle.  It doesnt go past this screen and after about 15 mins turns itself off.
    Any ideas how i can get this running again (havent tried anything yet to be honest as im not sure what to do).  I love these machines as i just think they are querky and would love to get it working again to use as my home pc (as even though its old it will still probably be quicker than my old microsoft laptop)
    Thanks!

    Did you try a PRAM reset?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    >I can't get the disk drive to open either
    If  the optical drive tray cannot be opened, what happens if you hold down the mouse button during startup?
    As a brody indicated, a faulty hard drive cannot be ruled out. Instructions for removing this drive can be found in the ifixit.com guides as well.
    If you can gain access to the optical drive, the best way forward would be to use an appropriate Mac OS X system CD in an attempt to start from that disc (holding down the C key).
    If it is not possible to locate a correct system CD right now, another way could possibly be to try to boot from an Ubuntu CD for PowerPC instead (once again, holding down the C key) just to see whether the computer is capable of booting at all.

  • Macbook won't boot past gray screen.

    Macbook will not boot past the gray screen with the Apple logo. I tried booting in Safe Mode... tried booting to the Leopard install DVD (can hear it spin)... tried resetting the PRAM... all to no avail (hangs on the gray Apple screen... no progress indicator). I am able to connect to the hard drive via Firewire from my MacPro no problem. Just to make sure, I also tried swapping the hard drive for the original hard drive that it came with (upgraded hard drive 2 yrs ago) but it did not make a difference, still did not boot.
    Not sure what else to try, any suggestions?

    Thanks for all the replies. I do think it is probably the logic board. Unfortunately the nearest Apple store is about 3.5 hours away from me and from what I've read online the price to put a new logic board in by them is around $700... that's about $300 shy of a NEW 13" Macbook! I am finding used or new logic boards for sale online for around $350 to $450.
    The reason it seems that it is the logic board is like I previously said in the opening thread that it would not boot to two different hard drives that I put in the Macbook, nor would it boot to the install disc that I put in the Superdrive.... "tried booting in Safe Mode... tried booting to the Leopard install DVD (can hear it spin)... tried resetting the PRAM". Being able to connect to the Macbook's hard drive from a MacPro via a Firewire gives me reason to believe the hard drives are not the problem.
    Now I guess I'll have to make a decision as to whether or not to shell out cash during this weak economy for a new Macbook or scrounge for components for a 4yr old laptop.
    Any final last words for me?

  • 2010 MacBook wont boot past grey screen, even after a new hard drive and install CD.

    Hey guys, I received a 2010 Macbook last year as a gift (no warranty). It worked fine untill a few days ago. It wouldn't boot past the grey apple logo. I took it in to an Apple store and they said it was a bad HDD. Since I didn't have much stored on it, and I have everything backed up to my desktop, I got a new, larger capacity HDD and replaced it with no issues. I started the Macbook with the OSX Leopard install CD, but it didn't identify the HDD, and now it won't boot past the grey screen.
    Any ideas? Is it the motherboard?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Laptop wont boot past Toshiba screen

    I have the Satellite c855-s5123. I shut it down and when I went to turn it back on it wouldn't boot past the initial startup screen. The Toshiba screen came on, it said it was repairing (i believe that was the word it used) the C: drive. It began counting up with % until 100% then went on to the blank screen (mine is pink) that always comes up when booting up. After that it turned black, then blue back and forth and never went on to boot like normal. I don't know anything about computers. The only thing I did after this was press control alt delete...when I did this a message came up that said "the instruction at 0x04fe9006 referenced memory at 0x0000001d. the memory could not be written" and an "okay" box to click. i clicked okay and it went back to switching from blue to black blank screen. I turned it off and on once again and this time it didn't have the repair C: it just went to the Toshiba screen then straight to the black and then blue once again. I have only had my laptop about 8 months and I take perfect care of it. I have no idea what is going on. And as I said earlier, I know nothing about computers. Any help would be appreciated!!

  • Wont boot past grey screen after disk access was changed

    I have a new 13" macbook pro with OS X Lion. I changed the hard disk access from read only to no access, walked away for a minute, when I came back my computer screen was black. Upon touching the mouse pad the mouse arrow showed up but the screen stayed black. I preformed a hard shutdown and when turning it back on it wont load past the grey screen with the apple logo. Ideas? Solutions? Please help.
    Thanks

    please explain exactly what you did.

  • G5 wont boot past white screen,or if it does keyboard&mouse don't work

    Before it had this mega crash it had been having trouble starting up - the fan was making jet engine noises and taking forever for it to get to my desktop. It then proceeded to crash a few times during the week when using Illustrator. Then last week it went kaput. The mouse would jump across the screen then freeze,so had to use power button to switch off.Unfortunately our I.T manager has no clue with macs, it just so happens she installed some RAM the weekend before, or could this be a coincidence?The RAM was removed to see if was corrupt but this made no difference to start up.
    Anyway I've tried starting up from the original disk, leopard disk and holding down all the keys people have suggested on start up. it gets as far as the white screen then the no entry symbol appears. When I try without any disk it gets to my desktop, but the keyboard&mouse do not work.
    If there are any suggestions I would be grateful for your help. Otherwise I guess it's sending it off to a repair place?

    With the Install Disc in the drive "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
