Yellow Tint Macbook Pro After Boot Up Screen(Apple Logo with White Background)

Hi guys
I have just recieved my macbook pro 13" 2012 base model, the screen is yellowish when compared to other macbook pros.
The strange issue is that I notice when I power it on, the screen is normal(white is white) at the boot up screen(white background with apple logo in the middle). But the screen will turn yellowish at that screen right before it finishes booting up(right before the screen logs in), like it has loaded a display profile. But thats is not the case though because my display profile is at default like others.
So the screen turns yellowish right before it finishes booting up and comes to my desktop screen.
Any suggestions please? this is my first mac

Hi Colloc
I bought my macbook from the apple online store.
I found out that every macbook pro screen changes colour before the booting up process completes. I did a comparison with another macbook pro (same model) and it turned out like that too. but the thing is, during usage, it can clearly be seen that my screen has a stronger yellow tint compared to the other one.
I returned my macbook and got a refund for now. I really want one but not sure if I should try buying one again.
I sure yours is normal

My girlfriends Macbook Pro shuts down at the Apple Logo....

My girlfriends Macbook Pro shuts down at the Apple Logo....
1)I start the computer
2)It loads to the apple logo
3)A progress bar shows and loads about 5% then it dissappears and a few seconds later the macbook pro shuts down.
Any solutions?
If not, is there any way for me to reinstall the os without losing any files such as(any of her pictures, music, etc)?

Hi S,
See if you can run Repair Disk: Boot frominstall disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key andkeep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screenselect the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in themenu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the leftside> click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice,and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’thappen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directoryis damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damagedHD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HDitself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, andrestart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > DiskUtility and run Repair Permissions.

HT204204 My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background.

Hi to all,
I hope someone can help me. My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8.3. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background. Even when I restart my phone, it is still stuck on the start up menu, the black background with apple logo in the middle.

Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity. After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new. I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad! This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used. Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup. I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware. I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like. Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck!

MacBook Pro won't get past Apple logo during boot

Hey, recently while I was using on my MacBook Pro (note: just simply browsing the internet), the battery ran dry and the computer shut down almost immediately. When I plugged it in and turned on the computer again, the familiar Apple logo appeared and looked as though it would start up normally. However, an unfamiliar grey progress bar appeared and the usual grey gear started spinning. The progress bar looks as though it reaches up 10-15% completed but the computer just shuts down after that every time. I know it has nothing to do with the charge in the battery as I tried doing it plugged in and even waiting overnight for the battery to charge fully with the plug plugged in.
So, I tried using Disk Utility on the Snow Leopard Install disc (my original MacBook Pro install discs had Leopard on it so I just used the Snow Leopard discs instead). After using the "Verify Disk" command on the Macintosh HD volume, it stated that 'Invalid node structure' and then stated that the disk could not be verified and needed repair. I then proceeded with using 'Repair Disk' and it did say 'Volume repair complete' but then stated 'Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.' This was when an error popped up and said "Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk" and then told me to back up my files and reformat the disk.
I'm hoping that I don't have to reformat the disk as I haven't backed up in a while. I do have a separate partition on the hard drive that has Windows 7 on it that I can boot to. At least that means my hard drive hasn't completely died on me. However, I'm unsure what to do at this point to fix the computer. I tried to Safe Boot but it didn't change the outcome of start up.
Any ideas as to what I can do? I appreciate any help.

Thanks for the replies! Anyway, I gave DiskWarrior a try and it failed to work. The first time I tried it, I put the disc into the drive of my MacBook Pro and booted it from the disc. After going through the rebuild process it told me that due to a hard drive malfunction it couldn't append any changes to the drive. I then tried putting the disk into my iMac and used my MacBook Pro in Target Disk mode. This wouldn't even attempt to rebuild my drive saying that there was a hardware failure.
So, I booted into Windows 7 and saw that Windows was able to access the drive and read the files perfectly. All the files were in tact. I don't understand why disk warrior had a problem with it. Anyway, what I can do is reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard onto the hard drive again after moving the data onto an external hard drive using Windows. The only problem is that I would have to reinstall all of my programs while reimporting all of the settings and data that I can from the external hard drive. What I want to know is can I make an image of my hard drive (with SuperDuper?), and append that back onto my Mac's hard drive? Would that work again after reformatting the disk or would it just give me the same problems as before? Would it be better or easier to just start new and reinstall everything? Thanks!

G4 Powerbook won't boot; grey screen Apple logo only

My G4 Powerbook 17" 1.33 stopped booting. I reinstalled OS 10.4.3 successfully, but on start up only get a grey screen with Apple logo with no spinning gear. I have reverified HDD with Disk Utility from the OS Install DVD, and it confirmed no problems. Any suggestions?

If you have the original OS X disks that came with the system, run the Apple hardware test. Find the disk that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label, insert it and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted choose the extended test. You want to see if it finds any hard drive access issues.

HT201177 My Macbook pro: After sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then blacks out. When I close the lid and reopen it the same thing happens. The screen only does this after waking up from sleeping. Help, thanks!

Macbook Pro:
When I raise the lid after sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then backs out. If I close the lid and raise it again, the same thing happens. It is sometimes necessary to force quit. Once restarted, there is no problem unless the lid is closed for a short time and the machinge goes to sleep.

MacBook won't boot past the apple logo screen!

So my MacBook started freezing up and I went to restart it and it wouldn't boot past the grey logo screen with the spinning gear. Its pretty old and therefor still has the Leopard operating system. I've been trying to run Disk Repair using a Snow Leopard install disc but it just gets about 30% done and then doesn't go any further. Eventually I stopped the disk repair and just tried installing OSX but when it asks me what drive I want to install on there are no options available to click. I've got alot of unsaved work on this old thing and would love to get it running soon! Any help would be extremely appreciated! Thanks

I've been trying to run Disk Repair using a Snow Leopard install disc
Install discs are "machine specific" .. you can only use the install disc that came with the Mac for repairing the hard disk.
You may not have enough free space on the startup disk.
Follow the directions for starting up in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot can take a little longer then a normal boot so be patient.
When you see the Desktop, right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If there isn't enough free space, help here > Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
You can use Disk Utility to verify the startup disk from Safe Mode but you can't repair the disk. You will need the install disc that came with your MacBook for that. While you have Disk Utillity open check S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom of the window. Make sure it says: Verified
When you are finished, click the Apple menu icon top left in the screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
If you don't have the original install discs you may be able to request a replacement. You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

Macbook Pro won't start up - Apple logo displays, but NO spinning gear, fans full speed

Hi there,
Not sure what could be causing this - when I start up my Macbook Pro, I get the grey screen, the chime, and the apple logo - but NO spinning gear appears, and after a little while the fans go to full speed. it hangs like this forever.
I recently installed a new 128 GB SSD, which seemed to be working great for awhile, but now I'm having this issue. FYI I also have an OptiBay with a 500GB hard drive in it, but it's not the startup drive, it's only used for media storage.
Any insight would be helpful, thanks!

Hi S,
Try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Boot from install disc (insert disc> restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

My macbook won't boot pass the apple logo and the spinning wheel

Some programs on my Macbook starting crashing so I tried restarting it. Now it doesn't load past the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel.
I've tried installing the Install disc, holding 'c' but nothing happens.
I've tested the hardware holding 'd' in the start up, in which the test can back clean, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the software.
I've followed almost all the troubleshooting solutions on the apple website including restarting the PRAM and SMC, with no success.
However I foolishly followed a solution that was meant for an earlier version of Mac OS X, which invloved starting up in single-user and entering some commands, this appears to have done nothing but i'm concerned it may have done some extra damage.
I have bootcamp installed and I can boot up windows with no problem and even access some of the files on the Macintosh HD.
My backup harddrive broke recently so I haven't got a back up of any of my files either.
My question is, is there any way of fixing this problem or even just saving all my files and data so I can format the hard drive and start again, other than finding someone with a mac and try using the firewire method?
thank you for your time and help.

There's a possible solution but you must have the proper installer DVD for the computer. Assuming you do:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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. Now restart normally.
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. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

MacBook Pro will not start up - apple logo and spinnining wheel

*The problem:*
I have a MacBook Pro bought in October 2009 and have had no problems with it up until now. When I went to turn my Macbook on the other day all I got was the initial grey screen with the apple logo and a spinning wheel. The wheel keeps spinning and never loads up my Mac. The battery is charged, I've not just downloaded/installed new soft/hardware, and I'm using the adaptor that came with the MacBook Pro when I purchased it.
*Stuff I've tried so far:*
I've read the forums/manual and have tried the following:
1. Reset the SMC - no effect
2. Reset the PRAM - no effect
3. Opened the MacBook Pro in safe mode - gets two thirds the way through the loading screen and then sops i.e. no effect
4. Done a hardware test - reported no problems
5. Started up my Mac with the original install DVD inserted into the CD drive, and performed a repair in disc utility - says there is a fault in the volume information and then repairs it at the end. Then I run it again and it says there's a fault in the volume information. It doesn't happen how many times I run the repair, it never fixes it.
6. Tried to reinstall the original disc but it cannot find the hard drive.
7. Tried to reboot but it cannot find the hard drive.
Next:
The only thing I have not yet tried is reformatting the drive. I have not tried this yet as I foolishly did not make a time machine (I didn't have an external hard drive) and I've not backed up my work for several months.
I have two questions:
1. Before I reformat, is there any way I can get documents off the system? I expect the answer is no but I wanted to check first.
2. Is the reformat fails for whatever reason, what is likely to happen next? I intend to book a genius appointment but wondered if people had had a similar experience in the past? How long did re-servicing take? The Mac is still under the three year warranty but I am likely to have to pay anything?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello!
Good news: Today I visited the next apple partner and took my macbook with me. He checked my mac with the software "DiskWarrior" which reported three problems which could be solved with this software. Afterwards we tried to restart the macbook - no effort.
He told me, that in a probability of 90% it would be a software problem and it could be solved with re-installing the mac os X software with inserting the original disc, pushing the button "C" shortly after pushing the power-button and simply reinstalling the OS X.
It worked and as it seems no data got lost.
The mac partner dude told me that this software problem can be caused by shutting down the mac one time too much with pushing down the powerbutton more than 5 seconds when everythings freezes...
As I write from my macbook again, I proudly announce that I'm back on mac.
I used windows while having these problems; it sucked
Sincerely, aftermathentertainment
PS: What have I learnt from this: Use TimeMachine!

Macbook pro: first screem just show apple logo

I have a macbook pro and I was updating some softwares, according to the automatic update and when it finished my computer did not turn on . It stays on the screem with the apple logo and does not move foward. How can I fix it?

The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. If your startup volume is encrypted with FileVault, you’ll have to unlock it in Disk Utility before you can do anything with it.

You will need a compatible OS X installer DVD to do anything. If the machine qualifies i would purchase a copy of Snow Leopard ($29 USD.) Then I would contact AppleCare to order replacement discs for the computer.
Once you have a usable installer disk I would start by erasing the drive and installing OS X from scratch.
Drive Preparation and Snow Leopard Installation
1. 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. Upon completion of formatting quit DU and return to the installer. Now install Snow Leopard following the onscreen instructions.

My Macbook Pro is stuck on teh apple logo loading page

Hi, I started my macbook pro and it began on the gray screen with the apple logo loading sign. But it is stuck on this screen and does not go any further. I have checked the discussions on this sigt and other discussions and it says to restart the PRAM. Would it be smart to do that? and if so would it erase anything from the hard drive? I just wanted to make sure before I went foward with it because I am unfamiliar with repairing computers and dont really have the money to go and get it fixed.
Model # A1278
MC700LL/A
Processor 2.3GHz Core i5 (2415M)

You can try resetting the PRAM/NVRAM and/or the SMC. I don't know that either will do any good. It sounds as if your MBP isn't finding the boot disk. If I were you, I would startup with the installation disc (optical) that came with your computer and use Disk Utility to both repair permissions and then verify and repair, if needed, you hard drive. You may have a hardware failure.
Good luck,
Clinton
