New macbook pro doesn't startup all the way anymore

I just bought my Macbook pro 13" 2.53ghz.
I was extremely excited with my new machine because it's my first mac.
But now, 5 hours after unpacking it, I'm getting frustrated.
My mb already froze 5 times and now, when I try to start is, the white/grey screen with the apple logo and the little 'waiting circle' just stays on the screen.
I had this problem earlier today, but when I rebooted my mb without other devices attached (iPod, usb drive and powercord) it worked. Now I tried the same thing with and without other devices attached and it just gives me that stupid white screen with the logo.
Does anyone knows how I can solve this problem and start working with my mb again?
PS: I am not American, so excuse me if my english is not understandable

Here are some things you could try:
1. Insert the original OS X install disc and reinstall the operating system. If the problem is a software fault, that should fix it. (Once the MBP is running again, you could use Disk Utility to run the "Repair Permissions" and "Verify Disk" routines in it. Disk Utility is in the Applications/Utilities folder.
2. If reinstalling the OS doesn't work or doesn't help, you could insert the second install disk and boot and run the hardware test program. That will tell you if there' s a hardware failure in your machine.
Good luck.
One more thing: when you are doing (1) or (2) above, be sure your MBP has the power cord attached and is plugged into line current and not just running on the battery.

  • Macbook pro fans go from all the way off to all the way on?

    Hi!
    My Macbook pro's fans go from all the way off then to all the way on... there is no middle... This only seems to have happened after I upgraded to Lion.
    I tryed reseting the SMC already to no avail...
    Any help? Please??

    Backup your user file folders to a external drive and disconnect.
    Hold c and boot off the 10.6.x installer disk,
    use Disk Utility to erase your entire drive (select the drive makers name) and format HFS+ Journaled,
    quit and install 10.6, use the same hard drive name and user name as before,
    log in, Software Update, restore programs from fresh sources,
    return your files into their respective folders.
    Carbon Copy Cloner your new fresh install to the external drive, it's hold the option key bootable.
    Wait on Snow for aother 6 months, then clone again and disconnect, give Lion another whirl by holding option while clicking on Purchases in MacAppStore to download the installer again.
    If you want to make "hold c" boot DVD's of Lion and Snow Leopard disks follow these links.

  • Macbook Pro not booting up all the way, weird problems

    Last night I was using my Macbook Pro, closed the lid then came back later and when I opened the lid it wouldn't wake back up. Shut it down by holding the power button, then tried booting it back up. You can hear the CD/DVD drive spin up, (got my copy of X-Plane in there) but nothing else happens. Keyboard backlights never turn on, display stays dark, and the sleep light never lights up all the way either, just stays dim. Leave it for a few minutes, then close the lid and the sleep light gets bright like the computer is awake, and you can still here it running.
    Sounds like classic SMC issues right? Well tried resetting that several times, no luck. Reset the PRAM while I was at it as well, no luck. Really not sure what's wrong now.
    Macbook Pro was purchased spring '08, can't remember all the specs off the top of my head but it was the top-of-the line processor, 2-gig of ram, the nvidia 8600 video card. I've heard that there have been some issues with that card however I'm not yet convinced that this is a video issue. Software update ran just a few days ago, so I'm running whatever the latest version of mac os X is. (10.5.??)

    Here's a link to the NVIDIA program:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    There is a specific test they run to diagnose this problem. If it pulls the right error code, you get a free logic board replacement. Print out a copy of the article and take it along--oddly enough, there are still a few Apple guys that don't seem to be familiar with this program.
    So far I have not experienced the NVIDIA problem myself, but I have read a number of posts about it. Some people have reported multiple problems--some so severe that their Mac won't boot up enough to run the test. However, since your Mac sounds unusable the way it is, you may as well make an appointment at the genius bar and see if you qualify for a replacement logic board. That could cure many things.
    Good luck!

  • My macbook pro won't load all the way when I start it up.

    Lately, my mac book pro has been slow to use, and the colour wheel pops up often. I shut it down earlier today, and now when I try to start it up, it won't load all the way. When I do manage to get to the homescreen, the applications and toolbars won't load. Any ideas what the issue might be and how I can fix it?

    It could be a number of issues, Fred.
    Have you optimized your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs to the right of this forum? Oversized photos are the chief reason for these types of failures.

    You also say your videos are MP4s. Are these AVCHD video or are they from a "webbie" camcorder, such as the Flip cam? Flip video uses a proprietary codec that often jams up video editors. This is also covered in our FAQs.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437535?tstart=0
    Finally, have you ensured that the drive you are saving your video to has adequate free space and is freshly defragmented? You should always have at least 30 gigs of free space on your drive plus 30-50 more for each hour of video you're outputting.
    And, if you are exporting to a drive other than your C drive, you should ensure that the drive is formatted NTFS rather than FAT32. FAT32 drives have a file size limit that often chokes video output.

  • Encore keeps crashing on startup on macbook pro. I have all the latest cc and osx updates

    encore keeps crashing on startup on macbook pro. I have all the latest cc and osx updates

    What specific OS and Encore versions? Since you say "latest OS updates," I assume Mavericks, and is this the relatively new 10.9.1 version?
    Where in the startup does it crash? Is there an error message?
    Mavericks causes a variety of issues, and we don't have enough data to really pin them down. At least with the original Mavericks, some users appeared to get CS6 to run with some serious but workable problems.
    Make sure you have handled any permissions issues.

    after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

  • HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • I have a new MacBook Pro.  I keep getting the message (from all different programs) that they would like to access the keychain "login".  I have run keychain repair, and it won't stop!

    I have a new MacBook Pro.  I keep getting the message "Mail would like to use your keychain "login".  How can I make this stop?  I have run the keychain repair utility.

    Hi,
    With the Finder as the Front app go to the Go Menu > GO to Folder.
    Copy and Paste the bold text below into the text field
    ~/Library/Keychains
    Highlight the Keychain.
    Use the CMD + i Keys together (Keystrokes for Get Info from the File Menu)
    In the Info Panel that appears check the Ownership and Permission bit at the bottom.
    Example Pic
    Unlock Padlock
    Check your Shortmname Appears (the (Me) one).
    Open the Cogwheel icon
    If it is Greyed Out to "Make "Shortname (Me)" owner then you are the Owner.
    Check you have Read and Write Permissions.
    You may need to check the Ownership and Permission on the ~/Library itself (you can do the same Get Info on Folders as well as Files)
    If you don't Own it then, when you have changed that also Apply to Contents.

  • HT5172 My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my card reader (with a CF card inserted).

    My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my USB card reader with a CF card inserted.  It works fine on my old Macbook Pro.
    Do I need a new card reader?  USB 3 perhaps?
    I would appreciate any input that you may have.  Thank you.

    Hi, closereaching. Instead of spending 12 hours reinstalling your operating system and getting everything back up to date again, which probably won't accomplish anything, why not buy a $10 USB card reader for your Casio's SD card? Or (more expensive, but a much more elegant solution), an ExpressCard SD card reader that can stay in your computer all the time?

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

  • Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

    Are you not able to start aperture on your old macbook? If you are able to then you can retrieve your serial number by clicking on 'about aperture'
    If not then it's a call to apple as the above posts suggest. I did when I lost mine, bear in mind though, they may ask for your original receipt as they did with me and I had to fax it.
