Starting Issues (Blinking picture of Earth - on gray screen)

My wife received a message stating that the startup disk was almost full (or full). I am not a techy in any way and was going to go through my HD to delete any unnecessary or unwanted program or file.
Before I had the chance to do this, we lost power for a couple of days. When the power came back the computer would not turn back on. It would start, and I would hear the Mac sound, but right after that it would shut off.
I left it alone for a while and it finally turned on. I was thrilled and I began deleting and making space on my hard drive. An I-Tunes update came along and after it downloaded I had to restart the computer.
Now, when I turn it on I get a gray screen with a blinking sympbol of the earth. I have never seen this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hewson27, welcome to Apple Discussions.
You have several problems.
During the power failure, your internal memory battery discharged & this in turn changed your PRAM settings. So first install a new battery. Check this site for battery part numbers and sources. Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
When your hard drive is almost full, the Mac will run slow & your risk corruption of the directory/files on your hard drive. You should keep an absolute minimum of 5GB free. You shouldn't have installed the iTunes update until you freed up space.
The startup problem is that your Mac is trying to start from a network instead of your internal hard drive. There are two ways to start up from your internal hard drive. One way is to depress the X key at startup. Another way is to depress the Option key at startup, which activates the Startup Manager. In the window that appears, select your hard drive icon & click on the right arrow. Once you get booted up, go to Preferences>Startup Disk & change to your internal hard drive.
Then drag items to the Trash & empty. You should also Open Disk Utility & repair permissions & run First Aid.
 Cheers, Tom

If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key. If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable. If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
good luck.

My MacBook pro won't start. It is frozen on the gray screen with the apple. Please help?

Reinstall OS X:
Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Upon start up the mac stops at the gray screen

Upon start up the mac stops at the gray screen

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 boot failure is to secure your 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 your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into 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.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot 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.
c. 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
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 3
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot 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.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 4
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot 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, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot 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 reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your 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 reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. 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.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. 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.

Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.

A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.

Startup Issues - computer won't go past gray screen

PLEASE HELP! I have a Power Mac G4. I installed OS X Tiger on it. Then I tried to install Quark 5, which is a Classic program. The computer said there was no longer Classic support on it. I mistakenly thought I would try to boot the computer in OS 9 to install Quark, so I changed my startup disk. Now the computer won't go past the gray screen at startup, because apparently there is no more OS 9. How do I boot up the computer to OS X again?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi, KHickey -
Will I have to back up my files?
Not usually. You should be able to re-install OS 9 (Classic) on that model via a Clean Install with no loss of any files.
That machine originally came with a model-specific version of OS 9.0.4. You can use the original OS 9 Install CD that came with it to install that version, and update via download updaters to v. 9.1 or later in order to use it as Classic (the OS 9 install must be at least v. 9.1 in order for it to be used as Classic by OSX; OS 9.2.x provides better compatibilty in that mode). Or, you can use a retail OS 9.1 or retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD.
In either case, a Clean Install would be the method to use. A Clean Install of OS 9 removes nothing, and gives you a new, uncomprimised System Folder.
Article #58176 - Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation
<hr>
There is a situation where the OS 9 install can be good, but the machine is still not able to boot to it. This can happen when the hard drive was last initialized using OSX's Disk Utility, and the option to install OS 9 drivers was not selected. IN the absence of those drivers the volume can not be mounted by OS 9, including an OS 9 on the volume - hence it can't boot to it.
An easy way to tell - while in OSX, do a Get Info on the drive; I believe one of the pieces of info given about the drive is whether it has OS 9 drivers installed.
Or, boot the machine to an appropriate version OS 9 Install CD - if the drive has OS 9 drivers, the volume will appear on the desktop; if it does not, it won't.
More info about that, including a small possibility of recovering from the situation, can be found in this Apple KBase article -
Article #106849 - Disk Is Available in Mac OS X But Not in Mac OS 9
If you do have to re-initialize the drive in order to get OS 9 drivers on it, then you will need to back up all your files - initializing a drive will erase everything on it.

I'm having problems starting up... Apple logo gray screen and the thinking wheel.

Help!! please.. I like making YouTube videos... And I need this to work.

Hello Dana,
Please report back what does & doesn't work...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the 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 at the top of the screen. (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."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a 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 completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Does it boot into any of these modes?
Holding Option/alt key at bootup.
Holding SHIFT key at bootup.
Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.

Slow start up on my macbook pro (gray screen)

when i start my macbook pro i get the gray screen before loading. start up is very slow.

Hello there, I am actually experiencing the same problem. The past few days my MacBookPro's startup has become extremely slow (around 3-4min!!). I have erased the disk (the "most secure" way) and re-installed Mountain Lion, but in vain! Still running slow! Opening Finder or Safari or whatever takes seconds...the multicolour wheel has become a very common sight these days!I did not really understand how people that have previously posted here got help, but here is my timestamp after booting:

Kernel Panics, Gray screen of death, and hard drives, oh my!

Last week, while performing multiple tasks on my G4, Safari froze up and completely locked up the entire computer. I rebooted by manually pushing the glowing power button the front of the tower. During reboot, I got the gray screen of death with the "you need to restart your macintosh... by holding down the power button for several seconds" message.
After a couple tries and getting that exact same gray screen of death, I started to worry about all my data.
I took both drives out of the G4 Quicksilver - one, a 500gb Barracuda Seagate (Master/bay 1), the other a 200gb Hitachi (slave/bay 2). I hooked them up to an older G4 and ran DiskWarrior and DiskUtility on both of them. The master drive had serious (>34%) fragmentation, which has since been cleaned up. The slave drive was relatively fine.
here's my current problem:
When I hook up:
1. Just the Master with no jumper pins, the drive runs fine, no problems, all settings and prefs are there, etc.
2. Just the Master with the correct pin settings, I get the kernel panic screen of death
3. The Master with correct pin settings and Slave with correct pin settings, kernel panic screen of death
4. If I swap the Master and Slave, and make the correct pin settings, the booting process starts and then I get a light gray screen with the "ghostbusters/do not enter" circle.
I put the original Slave drive in an external HD firewire enclosure, and it will mount on the desktop after the original Master drive has booted up - BUT - if I have the external drive powered up before I boot the Master, I get a gray screen with nothing on it - no message, nothing but grayscreen.
I've backed up my critical data, but would like to get these two drives back into their normal operating Master/Slave relationship that served them well for the last couple years.
Any help greatly appreciated.

New wrinkle:
This morning trying at boot up, the Mac chime sounded, the gray screen w/the apple logo appeared, and then the machine sounded like either the main fan or one of the two drives spun down. Shortly thereafter, I got the prohibitory sign again.
I rebooted and then got something completely different: a black screen with a small blinking vertical rectangle in the top left of the screen, with nothing else happening for a long time, so I manually rebooted and tried to boot into safe mode.
Trying to boot into safe mode gave me the chime, the apple logo, and then the sound of either the fan or drive spinning down and leaving me at the prohibitory sign once again.
Finally I option-booted to the slave drive and upon startup, received the following crash report, which might as well be in Swahili as far as my being able to make sense of it:

Freeze on blank gray screen at startup in OS 9.2.2!?

Hi,
I've been a happy OS 9.2.2 user for many years on my G4/933. I have OSX.3 on a 2nd internal drive. But I do mainly audio recording, and I find OSX to be extremely sluggish, so I work primarily in OS9.
Everything had been working fine, but then last night as I restarted from OSX with my OS 9.2.2 partition selected as the startup disk, the computer rebooted then completely froze on a blank gray screen. No icon, question mark, sad Mac. Nothing. Since then I have restarted many time by holding down the Option key to go back to OSX. While in OSX I ran Disk Repair on the internal drive with OS 9 on it. And I then ran Disk Warrior 2.1 for OS9 on the drive. They both found some errors, but nothing critical and they were fixed. But I still get the gray screen of nothingness when restarting under OS 9.2.2.
With some hesitation I tried "zapping the PRAM", which i've never done before. As I held down the Command/Option/P/R keys the screen just stayed black, which was scary. When I finally let the keys go it changed the Gray Screen of Nothingness and I was able to reboot and get back to OSX. I have no idea if I actually zapped my PRAM or not, or if that is the right thing to do.
I can function in OSX, but I'm really hobbled without being able to work in my good old OS 9 environment. I would really appreciate any tips...!
Thanks - Steve

Okay. I discovered these two post from a guy who appeared to have a similar issue as you do:
OS 9 Gray Screen, Help - MacWorld Forums & Os 9 Gray Screen - MacOSX.com
He even used Mac OS 9 primarily for audio work. From what I gathered his Mac was suffering from corrupt preference files.
Try doing the following:
Boot into Mac OS X and open the Preference folder in you Mac OS 9 System Folder.
Move these files into the Trash: Finder preferences, Mac OS preferences & System preferences. Also trash the preferences files for your audio card if you have any.
Open your Mac OS X System Preferences and select your Mac OS 9 folder as your start up volume, then quit System Preferences.
Shut down your Mac and unplug it.
Open the Mac, remove all of your PCI cards, and press the PMU button for 10 seconds. (The PMU button is a tiny black button on a small silver block mounted somewhere on the motherboard. It should look similar to this.)
Reinstall you cards, close your Mac and plug it back in.
Press the power button. If all is well the Mac should be able to into Mac OS 9 with out any problems.
If it still hags on the gray screen then your Mac OS 9 partition might be heavily fragmented or nearly full.

Can't get past gray screen with progress indicator... Help

I can't turn on my Macbook. It starts but won't go past the gray screen with the progress indicator (spinning circle).
I have tried:
1. turning off, removing battery, holding start for 5+ seconds, replacing battery and then turning on.
2. Holding command + option + R + P while staring up, waited for 3+ chimes.
3. holding Shift down while starting up
none of these things are working.
I've been on hold with apple service/support for almost an hour now.
I have an assignment on the computer that is due by midnight.
HELP!
I'm not very computer savvy and this is my first mac.
Any ideas folks??
Thanks.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You've done all the standard procedures. If you have any peripherals attached, disconnect them.
This describes resetting the PMU:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
Did you have the AC disconnected when you did it? I don't have any other ideas.
These are the startup key options:

Edit: If you have the install disc stuck in it anyway, can you get the hardware test to work? (Reboot while pressing the D key.)

MacBook Stuck on Gray Screen

I've been experiencing a major problem today -- very major as my MacBook won't start up properly. Long story short: today I downloaded iTunes 8 and began to run through the paces to use Genius (scan my computer, etc.). My computer was sluggish in responding and gave me the spinning rainbow wheel, so I left it and went to work. When I got home ten hours later, the rainbow wheel was still going and I was unable to force quit iTunes. So, I did a hard power off (pressing the power button). Sadness ensued.
My Mac will not start up past the chime and solid gray screen. The most exciting graphic I've gotten is that flashing question mark folder on the gray screen. Thus far, after reading up on these forums and around the internet, I have:
Tried to start up from my Leopard upgrade disc (no luck; solid gray screen)
Tried to start up from my original OS 10.4.9 disc (no luck; solid gray screen)
Tried to re-set my RAM (take them out, put them back in) and then restart my computer (no luck; solid gray screen)
Attempted a PRAM reset (no luck; solid gray screen)
Attempted a safe mode start (my computer DID chime twice -- then solid gray screen)
After all of the above, with absolutely no luck, I'm at wits end. Leaving it be gives me that flashing folder after 5 or 10 minutes, then my computer automatically shuts down. The only strange thing to happen to my computer lately has been the above mentioned iTunes 8 challenges. My computer sits on my desk plugged into my external hard drive all of the time -- it never leaves my apartment and is taken care of with kid gloves. All I can think of right now is thank goodness for Time Machine and my external HD...
Now here's the truly sad part: my computer is 14 months old, out of warranty. As a guy who's had a Mac laptop since 2001 (Titanium PowerBook, then MacBook) after having Apple/Mac desktop after desktop (IIc+ anyone?) I've never had a problem like this and am my wit's end. The nearest Apple store is over an hour away from me (and I work long hours during the week) and there are no authorized repair shops within a 45 minute drive (again--the working during the day thing gets me here) I don't know what to do.
Anyone have any ideas? Or is my precious Mac dead?

I've read through everyone's response and the situation you guys described happened exactly to me!! My macbook is just over a year old so no warranty for me either.
Long story short, I was upgrading my Itunes and decided to install this "genius" bar (pun intended, not so genius afterall). Genius was taking forever and it seemed like my macbook had froze as it wasn't responding. So, I shut it down and started it back up. It didn't start to OSX, instead I got the flashing folder with the question mark on it.
I've tried multiple "fixes" (including DiskWarrior, resetting the PRAM, restarting with the Leopard DVD, and lastly, even smacking the drive to see if I can "unstick" the head of the HDD) but none of them worked.
So, I had to go out and get a new HDD. I'm reinstalling OSX as we speak.
I wonder if Apple will look at this situation and perhaps provide us with some compensation for this. It seems to be more than a coincidence that this scenario has happened to more than a few of us (not even including the people that are only reading this and hoping for a resolution).

HELP!! Screen frozen w' gray screen + apple..threw out mach kernel file

I made a bad mistake and threw out a mach kernel file from an ibook G4 with osx 10.3.9, thinking I was cleaning up. (I had a lot of files that appeared and cluttered up my HD) Anyway, now the System Disk is stuck in the computer. I had read I could try to do an Archive Install, so put in the System Disk. Now, it starts up and stays frozen on a gray screen with the apple logo. I can not get the disk out by starting up with the mouse button down.
Please help, any suggestions appreciated!

Hi BBartSFe!
What you have done, is described in this KB Article "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or kernel panic when computer starts.
You will also find instructions there, on how to recover from your mistake.
Good Luck!

Digital Copies Not Playing - Gray Screen

This is extremely frustrating. I bought the new Lord of the Rings on Blue Ray and they came with a digital copy. I downloaded the digital copy from Itunes and now when I go to play it, it only shows a gray screen and no sound. The timer bar is moving like the movie is playing, but no video or sound.
I searched and found a similar thread here, but nothing in it worked.
- I have deathorized and authorized my computer again
- I have deauthorized, restarted iTunes and then authorized the computer
- I have the latest and greatest version of iTunes, quicktime, and every other piece of software I own
- The videos play fine on my iphone, but not in iTunes on my iMac.
Any ideas guys? Thanks!

I have contacted Apple support and they have confirmed that this is a know issue. I get the same gray screen, but oddly enough I can play old movies that I added a couple of months ago.
Apple support had me try and play the movies in other players with the same result. So it seems the authentication process that happens when you enter in the authorization code is broken and is not copying the digital movie properly to the computer.
Looks like we will have to wait for an update from Apple before this gets fixed.
