TS1367 after a software update, my macbook pro was supposed to restart, since then, it doesn't restart & there is nothing i can do, any help please ?
Hello,
after a sofware update, my macbook pro was supposed to restart,
since then the start up process begins & after few seconds, the mac goes back to off without starting, what's wrong ?
thanks for any support,
Amine
Let me add a little bit of details,
after the software update, I was asked to restart my laptop,
while doing it, I got a message error :"some files couldn't be updated".
Since then, everytime I start my macbook pro, I have the grey apple & screen, with a kind of updating bar (grey as well) at the bottom,
when the bar reaches approximately 30 to 40%, it disappears & the laptop swiths off.
Ihave tried to start on a safe mode, it doesn't work either,
thanks

ITunes won't open after downloading software update. Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8 Simple solution?
iTunes won't open after downloading software update. Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8 Simple solution? And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.
It would help to know versions here. I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed. Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago. If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses. Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you following these instructions.
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore. -
After latest Mavericks update my MacBook Pro will not boot up
After using software update, I believe it said it was a security update. My laptop will not progress past a screen that says " Setting up your Mac...". I have tried holding down the power to restart but it always stops at the same place. I am using a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009) running mavericks.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

After software update my macbook pro has no video
After doing a regular software update on my MacBook Pro (2006/7 model) the display no longer works. I've been running Lion since it came out with no problems (until last night). I hear the chime and the power light is on. I've tried the different boot options and still no display. Booting off a snow leopard disc appears to be running okay (disc spins periodically) but still no video. I've also reset the PRAM/NVRAM. The battery seems fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!If your computer is stuck restarting, hold the Power button to turn off your MacBook Pro and turn it on again. As the installation finished previously, nothing will get damaged

Startup Loop after Lion software update on MacBook
I installed the software update for Lion last night...and now I am in a startup loop nightmare...white screen with apple logo for about 5 minutes or so...then the computer shuts itself off ...then restarts only to do it again & again...when I held the command + s keys down at startup I get the error message "error reading driver 'System\Library\Extensions\AppleACPIPlatform.kext\Contents\MacOS\'.-
Any advice on what to do next? Thanks in advanceIf I understand you right, I should backup my Macbook Pro if it had not been backed up for a while, before downloading the Update?
Yes. For one reason, it will flush all "local snapshots" to the backup device. It's a good idea to connect the backup drive periodically, otherwise it will eventually stop creating those "local snapshots". That period of time is up to you, and is a function of the amount of work created between backups. Once a week generally works for me, but I'd definitely back up prior to any OS X update.
About a minute is about right, from a fully shut down condition to the login screen. Macs are designed to be ignored when you're not using them. Shut the lid or just walk away from it; there really is no benefit to shutting down completely unless you don't intend to use your Mac for several days. Waking up from sleep is almost instantaneous by comparison.
Thank you very much for your help. If I click the "this helped me" button, will I still later be able to choose "this solved my question" if my problem was solved?
Yes. The intent (I believe) is to accentuate answers most likely to benefit those seeking answers to similar questions. It's not a perfect system but it's the only one this site offers. -
Getting this error when trying to run latest software update on MacBook Pro
Everytime I try to run the update, it starts to download and then I get this error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1102.)(102)
I'm not too sure what it means, or how to fix it. If someone could help me out, that would be great!
Thanks!You might try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
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
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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Then download and install: OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo). -
Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro Retina, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?
You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.
When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.
You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.
Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.
Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.

Hello.
I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2010):
Processor: 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
Running Mac OS X 10.7.2
Yesterday I opened my computer (was sleeping as usual) and the screen just flasehed white and the computer powered off. The magnetic electricity thingy was connected and was green, so it was fully charged, and connected to the electricity.
Since it powered off, I tried turning it on again, and again, one second after starting to boot up, screen flashed white and the computer powered off.
I read somewhere I should hold down the power button longer, so I did, and it booted up. That's why I am able to write this. But every time I turn it off or put it to sleep, it does the same thing when I boot up.
If I don't hold the power button for 10 seconds or so, the computer won't work.
Then today, I did a backup of my entie hard drive, just in case. Later, I started using Excel, and about 1 hour after I was on it, suddenly it got really slow. Like I would click on a program like Safari, and it would take over 30-45 secs to start and be ready. And my computer is usually really fast!
I went on the Internet again, started in safe mode, boot up with option+command+P+R to reset PRAM, and nothing worked. Then suddenly on one turn-off/turn-on (since I can't restart because the computer only starts if I hold the power button for 10 seconds), again it is working at normal speed.
What can this be? Any ideas?
I really appreciate your time and help in advance

Are you running the Apple-supplied RAM? Have you run Apple Hardware Test? I don't know what else you've tried, but this may be time to do a fresh install of Lion if you have not done so since installing Lion. -
Hi, I'm running mountain lion of a macbook pre 13 inch. I have connected my new apple tv 3 to it so that i can home share my music to play on my apple tv. Every 10 or 15 seconds, the song with cut out or drop out for a split second, then continue. Though it can be looked past, it is so annoying! Advise would be much appriciated.
Sorry i also forgot to add that my macbook pro is a few years old, and i use a program called airparrot to airplay videos, but i beleive that airplay and home sharing is totally different..correct me if i'm wrong. thanks.
