Recovery issue macbook pro

Hi all just looking to see if i have covered all the bases with an issue im having.
My macbook pro wont boot I get the grey screen then apple logo then crash and the macbook powers down.
I can hold down the option key select recovery I get the apple logo then then the Mac powers down again.
I can Hold down Command Option R and start internet recovery. The world logo apears and it takes a few minitiues to download then the apple log apears and again power down.
Same when trying to boot from my old snow leapard disk.
I havent got a USB boot disk to try and i dont have another mac to go make one.
So in summary I cant ever seem to get to the disk utilies to check for issues. This sounding like a hardware fault?
Regards and thanks in advance.

I would try first holding down Command R on startup to go straight to the recovery partition. If that doesn't work, try holding down the shift key on startup untill you see the spinning gear, then release. You'll get a loading bar at the bottom and this way to bootup usually can take up to 5 minutes. If you bootup to your desktop, restart your computer right after. If you can't bootup, take it into and apple retail store or service provider
Let me know if these things work at all

Mavericks 10.9.1 error recovery HD (MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013)

I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15 (late 2013)
I want to reinstall mavericks on this computer but I cannot. Each time I log in recovery HD, a stop sign appear and then my computer shut down. Anybody can help how to get my recovery back? My computer is now 10.9.1 but I notice that my recovery HD is 10.9.0.
Please help me! Any suggestion is appreciated.

I've had the same issue. The solution given by Linc and many others don't work on MBP Retina models. Apparently, Apple did something so that these newer models would not proceed with bootdisks. The only way to reinstall Mavericks is to go through Internet Recovery. That's why Apply emphasizes it so much in their support page and the recovery screen.
That's my theory through my trials and errors. Don't take my word for it.

HT1237 Searching for an EFI Firmware update to enable Lion Internet Recovery on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)

Hi All,
My Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch started having random kernel panics lately (more than 1 month of random kernel panics now), usually associated with request such as "open new tab in Safari" etc.
Since I installed 2x4GB RAM modules from Crucial when I bought my MBP (they are +- 2 years old now) and also exchanged my DVD-drive for an extra SSD that now runs the system (fully updated 10.7.4) I have a feeling that those kernel panics might be HW related.
I wanted to run Apple Hardware Test but found out that it is no longer supported on Lion. Since I don't have any optical drive to install AHT from (also I don't have the CDs with me atm), I found out that I can install an EFI Firmware update that enables internet-based (?) AHT.
At http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904# , the link from MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) links to MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.6 which is for Early 2010 models only and doesn't allow me to run the installation process. I'm looking for an EFI update to enable Apple Hardware Test on my Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch.
Is there an update that can do this? Is there a wrong hyperlink on Apple page or am I searching for a wrong update?
Also, even though this should probably be in a separate topic, can anyone please point me to the right direction for a good Apple Kernel Panic how-to-read-those topic?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hey Cris from London,
I would try out the recommended steps in the following link:
OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
Let us know if any of the steps within resolved the issue.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take care,

Speed (lack of) issues-Macbook pro post Maverick Install

Hi all... long time browser first time poster... this maverick install is killing my life.
Upgraded to Maverick, my computer was almost useless with spinning beach ball of death for everything I opened. I did the 'usual' useless stuff that someone at a realtively low IT base (like myself) would do, cleaned out trash, restarted etc. Check what was running etc, no love.
Read a bunch of other posts, tried some seemingly good advice, like verifying disk permissions and repairing disk permissions. This definitely helped, alot, and I was now able to use my notebook again, but it's still much slower than usual in most areas, and might be lucky to survive the day at work as I fear I will throw it at the wall next time excel locks up on me!
Here is my etrecheck output as most suggest I require before asking for help. I would LOVE any advice that may help me clean this up.
NOTE- the time machine back ups have actually occured to the best of my knowledge, so i don't fully understand this in the report.
Many thanks, Levi
PS- I am currently running another time machine back up now. And, no, stupidly i did not do a recent one before i installed.... yes i realise this was silly!

Problem solved.....
Apple support on phone could not work it out.
Apt at genius bar saw many expected thoughts- First assumption was hard drive was gone, tested this, all ok. Next was the disk needed a full repair, this would fix it. No good either. Final call- erase the entire system. Re-install the OS, and then manually trasnfer back my files from the time machine back ups, NO restore.
this has solved it.
Clearly my computer could not handle the Maverick install without a full erase prior. Be warned, it can absorb a **** of a lot of your time, and if like myself your computer is your day-to-day work horse... it could cause you some serious down time.

External Monitor Issues - MacBook Pro +Acer

Hello Everyone!!
I currently have my new Macbook Pro hooked up to a Thunderbolt display and all is running well! BUT, I also have a mid 2009 MBP that I am setting up with a new ACER S271HL monitor (one of their newer models) and I am having some "quality" issues. The MBP is utilizing 8G of RAM with a 500G HD: approximately 400G available, running the most current version of LION with all updates and runs nicely. I didn't have any connectivity issues using a new Startech mini-display port to HDMI adapter and a new Monster HDMI cable. The ACER monitor is one of the newest models with resolution of 1920x1080 and the MBP did not have any issues recognizing it and I have not had any problems with "setting it up"- all resolutions are supported and recognized and everything seems ok. I began by using MAC's Color Sync Utility and customized the monitor profile. Then I did some fine tweaking with the monitor controls themselves - no issues. The PROBLEM is that it just doesn't look good!!!! The text is not sharp in any document, browser tabs, content, etc. - the whole thing is kind of dull?! Video is ok at best - but again, not sharp. So, I tried the Color Synch Utility again and had a second person set up a profile just to make sure I'm not going crazy?! - same result?! I tried a different HDMI cable (new) - same result. I tried a different mini-display to HDMI adapter - same result. I reset the SMC and the PRAM - same result?!?! I tried moving the monitor to another location to see if it was just the light and my eyes - no good. I switched to a mini-display to DVI adapter/cable - same result. NOW, the thing that is really bothering me here is that my office uses older ACER monitors - discontinued V213H - I have three set up with an "older" DELL PC (no hot- rodded graphics/video card - standard, boring, office PC) and they LOOK GREAT?!?! So, I hooked my office laptop up to the new ACER monitor I bought and it LOOKED GREAT!?!?! (with NO CONFIGURATION) I even used an old ratty VGA cable and it looked SO much better!?!? I took the MBP to the office and hooked it up the work monitors and it only looked ok - better than on the new display, but still not sharp!?
So then I tried the driver route...ACER actually has a specific APPLE disclaimer of sorts on their support page indicating, that although their monitors are configured to work with all current computer models, that are tested in a PC environment and you may encounter issues that should be addressed with APPLE?! Even though the monitor drivers I had are listed as the most current, I tried downloading them anyway - the MBP downloads them, but cannot install them because they are not recognized?!? (All the support documentation, installation CD, etc. that came with the monitor was not recognizable by the MAC either)
SO - does anyone else have similar issues with ACER monitors?? Know of anyone else that might??? I can't hook up the MBP to the Thunderbolt display to really rule out a problem - but I'm confident this is not a hardware issue with any of the components.
I hate to give up on this because I'm setting it up for a friend so I figure I'll give it a few more days and see what kinds of ideas others might come up with before I throw in the towel and take this sucker back!
Thanks for reading my 'novel' of a post - any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!

i had the same problem, i solved it by buying a more higher end "hdmi to vga" wire, i 1st bought a cheap conversion wire "hdmi to vga" from a slow boat from china via Amazon and it didn't work on my macbook but seems to be working well on my windows laptop.
so i bought another conversion wire via Amozon "hdmi to vga" from a company called Sewell Quirts in a 10' version.... now my mac mirrors or extend my laptop monitor, hope this helps.
and its not a "file" issue like everyone else says in here.
and my acer monitor is an older one with only a dvi and vga inputs.... using it to extend my 2014 macbook pro retina.

DVI Out Flicker and connection issues- Macbook Pro 2006

No matter which monitors/cable combination I use, my external display flickers at random times. Sometimes, the signal will come back a second or two later, other times it will go out until a reboot.
From my unofficial "tests", this happens more (but not always, and never consistently) when...
* I am doing anything demanding like video or flash
* When I have an expresscard in the slot
Hardware Notes:
* 1st gen Macbook Pro 2.0ghz (ati 256mb)
* 10.6.3 - I don't know if this started happening on a particular release. I think it still happened in 10.5
* DVI to DVI connection. Tried on two monitors with different DVI cables (even the ones from monoprice)
* I use the external monitor as my main device (always have for 4 years
I can't find any threads on this particular issue, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help!

I'm exactly on the same issue. Have you found a solution ?

ARD issues - MacBook Pro to partitioned MacBook (running Windows)

I really have read all I can before making this posting - so apologies if this issue has been addressed before.
Goal - to allow MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.9) to observe and control Windows running on a partitioned MacBook.
Issue - I can observe and control the MacBook when it is in Mac mode, but when the MacBook is in Windows mode, just can't get the connection. I have installed VNC onto Windows, I have opened both ports 5900 and 3283.
When I view the MacBook in Windows mode I can see the computer and it's status is "VNC ON" - but still no connection. I have even removed the firewall completely - but still no luck.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

MacBook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Also a MacBook

Have you tried a different VNC client? Some work and some don't, it seems, particularly when dealing with Intel-based Macs. I believe most people who have success are using RealVNC, but if you search for "VNC" in this forum, you should find reports of what works and what doesn't.

Audio playback issues; Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 Intel Core Duo 2007/2008 model

Hiya,
I cannot fully remember when this issue started but recently it has made listening to music, watching videos impossible. Whenever i play audio via iTunes, QuickTime, YouTube, Streaming via Chrome/Safari after about 5-10 seconds the sound will start to stall and then the machine will also stall and often become unresponsive untill i hit pause/stop or the mute button on the keyboard. I do not have this issue when using Ableton Live 8 or Logic Pro 9 as the sound and performance is what you would expect from an apple product; perfect.
I have had my logic board "replaced" twice via apple due to the NAVIDA issue on my model of macbook pro and they did mention that since they replaced it my macbook had developed a "software issue" which they aknowledged to be thier fault.
I have booked into see the genuis bar this saturday but was wondering if anyone has had these issues?

Gordon,
A couple of things this is an iMac forum, there is a MacBook Pro forum I'd recommend you repost to. Also I have asked the moderator to remove the serial number of your machine to protect your security. Next time you copy and paste just remove the serial number it isn't needed.
Best of luck.

Wireless Connection Issue Macbook Pro PLEASE HELP!

Hi
I got a brand new macbook pro 13' the other week, i installed everything etc and also my bt home hub 2 showed up in airport and it all worked fine no problem no matter where i was in the house.
Yesterday i tried to get on the Internet on the bottom floor and my router is on the 3rd floor and it won't connect to my Internet, it asked for the access key and then i get timed out message and then a message abut its the wrong key, out of range etc. I then go to the room with the router in or on the same floor and it connects and works fine, but soon as i move downstairs it does'nt work as it did before.
Ive reset the router, changed router channels to all of them, changed it to G, N etc and still no joy, also tried WEP and still no joy
Is this an issue with my mac or my router, my mac and router are n power why is suddenly not reaching the bottom floor when it did no problem before.
Please help
Sam

Macbook Pro and BT Homehub4. Looked for help here but did not find it, however, solved the problem by chance as below.
Problem - having recently installed Homehub4 Macbook was persistently refused access to the hub on the grounds that a password was required and the one keyed in was incorrect. An older iMac upstairs was fine - this was the one set up by the engineer when installing. Signal strength was at full.
Solution - found by chance that the Macbook worked ok from another room and concluded that the signal strength was just too high in the original position. By placing a biscuit tin in front of the hub the signal is sufficiently attenuated to work in the original room, and is still good enough to use the upstairs machine too.
So signal is too strong! I call that counterintuitive and I bet no help desk would think of it.
Regards, John.

Power up Issue macbook Pro A1175? (please help)

I turn on the power and the chime sounds but the screen stays black and there is no hard drive activity. The indicater light on the front of the computer lights up: the light thats on the button that opens the laptop.
The light on the battery also turns on but there is no HDD lighting up and no activity. This issue started this morning as last night I turned off the Macbook pro to shut it down and it powered off correctly. Before I shut it down the programs that were running on it was Photo shop, Safari, Itunes - Itunes was playing some music but it was on pause for several hours, and Furcadia. I shut them all down closing each application individually and then shut down the book pro. it's a 15 inch mac book pro. S/N W872904NXAH

Also is it possible to hook up the hard drive in the laptop to another computer running Leopard? Or is it possible to use Linux Kabuntu to use DDR Rescue the data or extract it?
The hard drive is not responding to anything and someone told my GF that it might be a hard drive related issue.

I am adding a other piece of information that any viewer must see: I have checked out the help areas of the macbook pro and I tried to find step guides in the Resetting the PMU for IBook or MacBook models here is the link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431?viewlocale=en_US
when I try to find my model it is not listed there nore anywere else on step guides to reset the PMU I have already reseted the VRAM and such but still to no avail it has failed to resolve my issue does anyone know how to reset the PMU On a Powerbook Pro A1175? Its a 15 inch that came out 2007 of June 5th. Mid year 07.
I found my specs and here it is :

Sincerly,

Weird Display issue MacBook Pro 2010 15"

Hey
i recently turned my MacBook pro on and after about ten minutes my display started to flicker some coloured lines until settling on this flickering:
I restarted, tried to see if any updates where avaiable neither of which helped,
I took a screen shot and emailed it to my partners Laptop and the lines wern't there, so i dont think it is a software problem.
i then shut down my laptop for the night and turned it on the next day and it was fine, about 40 minutes on it and it started flashing again but didnt go as bad as the previous day, It hasnt done it since but im slightly concerned as you can imagine.
Tech Tool Deluxe reports no problems at all.
I do have apple care but im out the country at the moment so not much i can do about it if things get worse, i will be taking it to get checked over when i return home in a month!
Has anyone had similar issues, or got any ideas as to what caused this?
Specs:
MacBook Pro 2010 I5 2.53Ghz 15"
8gb Crucial Memory Ram
Stock 500Gb 7200RPM Drive
Western Digital Scorpio Blue 640gb 5000RPM in Optibay
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB graphics and built in card

I will have to when i get home in a month,
it hasn't done it for a while now so hopefully i can last out the month with out any serious problems, my main concern is the graphics going completly and me not being able to use my laptop at all!

Audio pitch / playback speed issue, MacBook Pro 10.4.10

I experienced a very strange audio pitch and speed issue that affected a recording I was making in Ableton Live 6.0.3.
Setup is MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, Mackie Onyx Satellite FW interface for audio, recording straight to internal HD.
I made two multitrack recordings (3-4 tracks each) which played back fine initially within Live. I then rendered the audio to AIFF in order to burn data and audio CDs.
Testing the playback in iTunes, the audio was strangely pitched lower than what we originally recorded. Checking other tracks from my iTunes library, they were playing back FASTER or higher-pitched than normal, and so did audio streamed from MySpace that I was familiar with.
CDs burnt from these AIFFs exhibited the same "lower pitch" / slower playback.
Reopening the Live Set, they were now also playing back lower pitched than what we had heard just minutes beforehand during the recording / mixing.
After I let the computer sleep for a few hours, I came back and checked -- system and internet audio was now playing back at normal speed, but the Live Set was still lower-pitched - the individual WAV files in the set were all pitched lower.
The Live recording prefs were stock standard - set to record 24 bit WAV at 44.1Khz. Since the issue seemed to affect non-Live audio as well, I'm guessing it was something more at the CoreAudio level?
I managed to salvage the session by taking the exported AIFFs into Tracktion 3 and using the pitch change function in the Clip Properties pane. One track was 1.5x off, the other was 1.125x off.
I'm at a complete loss as to why this would happen. It's a first (and hopefully only) occurrence. Has anyone had this happen to them? Could this be some sort of intermittent hardware (clock) glitch? Something to do with 6.0.3 and OS 10.4.10?
I do need to take this MacBook Pro in for servicing - it experienced the "bulging battery" issue and has a partially dead keyboard (the keys near the upper right) - but even with those issues I've not had audio issues like this.

In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.
cheers

Screen Sharing issues MacBook Pro Retina

Loving my brand spanking new MacBook Pro Retina 15" running Mavericks. Display set to 1900x1200. The only thing it doesn't do, is play full screen YouTube video from my Mac Mini (2011), as soon as I put that in full screen mode on the Mini. Mouse and keyboard no longer respond, the only option is to wait untill it is finished or use the controls on the Mini. My screen sharing is set to all adaptive settings.
What I have done to do checks:
remote control MacBook Pro Retina from Mini (same settings for screen sharing, resolution on Mini is 1080p) and play full screen HD YouTube video: no issues, scaling works flawlessly;
check all network settings on both computer - no issues, both connecting full speed (400mpbs), wireless file exchange proves this;
reinstalled Mavericks both on the macbook and Mini;
removed all plists and preferences on both machines;
saved files to external HD, emptied harddrives, and clean installed Mavericks on both(!) computers
Installed all updates to december 12th 2013 (including the december screen sharing update).
All to no avail. So I figured to draw some new variables in the equasion and do some control testing.
I have done a test from an older MacBook Pro 17" (2010), display set to 1900x1200 as well. No problem at all controlling either computer. Scaling works flawlessly. Dito from an older iMac 21" running Mountain Lion. Like a charm, correctly scaling to meet the screen and network confitions.
So I figured shrinking the size of the application window on the MacBook to about 1/4 of the surface, and guess what: there she flies. Enlarging the application window on the MacBook Pro has a linear effect on the responsiveness of the screen sharing application, trying to view full screen video the Mini.
Verified this by controlling the older MacBook Pro 17" (1920x1200) from the MacBook Pro Retina 15". Confirmed that the above problems persist. Shrinking the screen again smoothens things out.
This quite definite to me, it is the screen sharing application that is not able to handle scaling on the hardware or interact with the software drivers of the Intel Iris Pro/NVidia GeForce GT750M combo. I hope this gets fixed soon!!

Setting Low Res on the apps didn't seem to help, however (as has been mentioned elsewhere) changing the display settings to non-HDPI does fix it, for GoToMeeting at least. (Also it let's you appreciate how nice the retina display is, in case you've already gotten used to it!)
You need an app for that however. SetResX from http://www.sendspace.com/file/mef6sk works well for me. To return to nice Retina/HDPI mode you have to go back to Display Preferences (and the "Show in Menu Bar" option for Display Preferences is sadly AWOL in Retina/Lion so you have to navigate through System Preferences.)

Bluetooth connection issues - Macbook Pro

My apologies if my question has already been answered, but I have done more searches then I can count and I still cannot locate any answers.
I just purchased a MacBook Pro (running the lastest updates). I have a TREO PRO Smartphone running Windows Mobile 6.1. I can pair the MacBook and TREO via bluetooth. What I can't seem to do is connect the two to use any of the bluetooth functions (send files, browse device) or sync files between the two (I've installed Missing Sync for Windows Mobile to perform the syncing functions). In Missing Sync, the Bluetooth Icon is grayed out (Missing Sync doesn't see the TREO and MacBook connected via bluetooth).
What am I doing wrong?? I feel like I am missing a major step after the pairing process has completed. I deleted and re-paired the devices multiple times - still no bluetooth connections.
I can activate Internet Sharing on the TREO and connect the MacBook and Treo via "connect to network", but then I still can't sync, send files or browse device.
In case you are curious, PALM support said it's a Windows Mobile issue, Microsoft says it's an Apple issue, and the Genius Bar says they can only help with bluetoothing on an iPhone.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I'm exactly on the same issue. Have you found a solution ?

Terminal Issue macbook pro and snow leopard

Hello,
I have recently updated my 2.3gHz macbook pro to Snow Leopard. Since this time, the ctrl and option keys do not work in termnial or iterm. However, if I use an external keyboard, everything behaves as expected. I cannot seem to find anyone else who has had this issue or even where to look to try and fix it. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the help.

Below are the specs for Snow Leopard:
*General requirements*
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of free disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
