TS1411 My Mac book pro 2008 has crashed
I don't have my os x start up disk to reboot my Mac Pro 2008. I have a gray screen. I don't know what to do. I am running mountain lion that I down loaded from the apple store. What do I need to do to fix my computer with out my disk.
You are so far away from the forum you need to be in. This forum is for an OS that was popular 10 years ago.
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, using your Recovery System. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.
Future posts should be made in the 10.8 usage forum.

HT203254 mac book pro 2008 with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor...
Hi,
I just want to know if my mac book pro 2008 15" with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor can be changed or repaired?My Mac doesnt have display on it...Sometimes it shows up...but after a while its black screen again..tnxIt's a little late for me to jump into your discussion, I only read it when I posted an issue with the same model.
Well, I hope you got it fixed soon enough in 2012, because as I learned in the past few days after purchasing that model and reading up on the issues, Apple stopped the care for this fault on December 7th or so in 2012.
Seeing that people still get problems due to that graphics card, I should try to return the used one I just bought. I might run well now, but who knows how long. -
My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it.
Hi,
My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it, i have no idea why, its like its inside the screen, its never been dropped or had anything fall on it and the mark is starting to get bigger. Has anyone else had the same problem? i've inserted a pic of it, hopefully you can make it out.
Thank YouI see a multitude of white marks on your display. Your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians examine the MBP. Hardware problems such as this cannot be solved via these forums.

Hi,
I'm leaving in Rio - Brazil. I intend to go to Orlando on September, 27 of this year! A display of my notebook MAC BOOK PRO 15" 2007 is broked.
I intend to bring with me to fix it at Apple Florida Mall store. I would like to know:
1) How long time to fix it?
2) May I upgrade my notebook OX software? I cannot loose all of my informations inside in the HD. I cannot acess those information since last year, when broked.
3) How much is to put a new display?
4) How much to upgrade my notebook software OX?
Thanks,
ArthurSome folks can't leave well enough alone, and insist on downloading all sorts of additional "stuff" that ends up making their Mac unstable.
Standard Mac OS X on properly-operating Hardware does not crash, unless you start installing too many add-ons.
You can run "just the basics" by holding down the Shift key at Startup. This does one pass of Disk Repair, then loads a minimal set of extensions, and comes up in Safe Mode. If it works OK that way, but crashes in "regular", it's the add-ons.
There ia another layer of add-on junk that can be added to Safari. If the only remaining problem is Safari crashing, those add-ons can be disabled as well. -

2012 Retina Mac Book Pro (Mountain Lion) crashes while using Finder
I used the Migration Assistant to move over my settings and file from a 2009 Mac Book Pro to a brand new Retina version. Everything was working well until, on the first day, I needed to use the finder to search for photo files on the hard drive. I am updated to the moset current OS X 10.8.2. My old computer was not giving me this problem. I have used to disc utility to check and repair permission. It doesn't matter if I have ten applications open and running or none. It only crashes while searching in the Finder while using the space bar to preview. Thanks for any help on this!
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Mac Book Pro 13 inch crashes !!
Hello,
My mac book pro 13 inch with no retina display crashed for no reason.
It was working perfectly yesterday night, i woke up today and opened the laptop.
The screen was white and stuck with the apple icon, I couldn't control the laptop so i pressed the power button to shutdown the laptop.
I tried to open in it again but still i had the same problem, so i decided to take it to the store. they told me that the laptop needs to be formatted, i was shocked because by doing that ill be loosing all the documents and programs i have.
I told them okay!!! format it, i can't do anything else besides erasing all the data, so i left the store and while were working on the laptop.
2 hours ago the sales man called me and said, "noora we couldn't format the device there was an error, your hard disk is gone and you will need to repair it."
I have no idea where to take my laptop, I was told that it will cost me approximately $300 to get an new one.
please advice me whether to repair the hard disk or try to format it again.
Thanks,Disconnect power adapter from the ac outlet and the computer, then reconnect it.
Try SMC reset.

Mac Book Pro 17" CS6 crashes when setting output to second monitor.
I am testing out the trial version of Premiere CS6 and the program keeps crashing when I try to set the video output to my second monitor via a DVI connection. Anybody else having this problem with the Mac version?
Mac Book Pro 17"
2.2Ghz I7
8 GB
AMD 6750M 1025MBI am using a mini display port to DVI adapter and it is a thunderbolt port.
I just tried it again and now it seems to be working. I have tried it dozens of times and everytime it would do nothing and when I opened prefrences to change it back CS6 would lock up.
I just tried it a couple more times by closing the program and openning it up again and now for whatever odd reason it seems to be working great.
I also have been trying the trial version that was released last week but I have since removed that version since it wasn't a stable release but it had the same problem. I am using the official trial version as of this morning and the problem was still there but now it is gone.
Not sure what happened but no matter what I do it now works. huh Perhaps a left over preference file from the unstable version or something like that. -

My Mac book pro 2011 seems to have lost its wifi card. It was there until today. Now message says wifi card is not installed. What's happening?
Try resetting the SMC and PRAM:

On the SMC, you want the process for "a battery you should not remove yourself." -

Mac book pro mid 2010 crashes on easy tasks
Please, this is crazy! I am so f**king angry right now!
It is the 10th time today that this f**king machine crashes because of a simple task like opening a folder in a finder window or just now, sending an e-mail.
This is stupi and has to stop!
Many other user experiencing similar issues and even hardware replacements haven’t stopped this.
The Genius’es say it is the Nvidia graphics card and it crashes while switching from one to another card.
But why than is Photoshop working, watching Videos on YouTube and the machine breaks down on easy tasks like opening a folder from a finder window.
Several time it has crashed while clicking on the Reply or Send button in Mail.
I am running the latest OS X 10.9.2 on an MacBook Pro 15" mid 2010, 2.66 GHz i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB11th time today!
