MacBook (2010) starts with black screen with flashing Apple logo

I recently got ahold of a Macbook Pro 2010 running very slow so I did a reinstall of the operating system (which was a living nightmare, Macintosh is not as easy to manage as it was at the time of PowerPC) once I got to the top and running, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of El Capitan (an update (not an upgrade I already had a version out there) once I rebooted and let the computer do its thing he began to start up normally, but after finishing the progress bar, he went to a black screen (with the screen still on) that flashed the boot from time to time Apple logo. I forced shut down the computer and start in safe mode with success (that's how I'm typing this post now).

Thanks in advance.

When you reinstalled, did you remove any third-party system before reinstalling.

A Mac that runs in Mode without failure, but are generally not normally indicates some incompatible system changes.

Software common problems are things that are intended to clean, protect, optimize, accelerate, or otherwise maintain your Mac.

    my iPhone 6 alternates between a black screen and the Apple logo, what do I do?

    Hi Nathanielfromwa,

    If your iPhone 6 alternates between black screens and the Apple logo, this could be a problem that can be fixed by wiping your iPhone to factory settings. If this is the case, save your iPhone first. I've included links if you need help with backing up your iPhone, but also to reset to the factory settings.

  • iPhone ran out of battery, now wont start black screen after the apple logo

    Hey not last night, but the night before, I forgot to plug my phone so it died while I was sleeping. When I woke up, I plugged and went a little. When I came back I noticed that the phones screen was on, but black. I tried to restart with the buttons and everything that I do not understand what could be wrong. The battery is not cause fried, it continues to display the apple logo then a black screen. I would prefer not to have my phone back and to lose everything, and I can't really afford to pay someone more than 200 to tell my my phone is broken, please help.

    Have you tried that?

    Try a forced reboot. No data is lost during this procedure. Hold on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the camera to MacBookPro. Any ideas?

    I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. I left plugged in all night and still no change. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the unit to aMacBookPro. When I do this, iTunes complains that it can not connect because the iPad 'expires '. Now it is disconnected, but I can't turn it off. Even close the lid will not extinguish it. Any ideas?

    Try the following. It seems yo may have to let the battery drain is completely:

    - iOS: do not respond or does not light

    -Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test

    -If failed and that you cannot completely turn completely the iOS device, leave the battery to drain completely. After loading a hour repeat the foregoing.

    -Try a different cable

    -Try on another computer

    S ' there is still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar is in order.

  • Black screen after flashing to latest BIOS

    Nothing but black screen after flashing the latest bios (fan, leds work)...

    I can do, or that of new bios/motherboard can help? (I tried to rest the battery, press F8...) Thanks in advance

    I presume that the BIOS is doomed. What you need is a professional help with this then contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.

    By the way: check this forum using the advanced search option. In the past, I have seen several interesting discussions on BIOS recovery. I m quite skeptical on this subject but maybe you will be lucky and find the solution.

  • Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

    Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

    What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

    start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

    When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

    An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

    So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

  • Flashing Apple Logo, 4th gen clickwheel

    Dug my old fourth generation iPod clickwheel, A1059 is the model number, I think. I thought to pay to get handed iPod, but not if it means replace every part of it, but the case and the screen (they are both very good).

    I thought that the battery could be shot, but I put it on the original FireWire charger for a few hours. It displays the Apple logo on the screen. I tried to do a reset, as described in the documentation of support here online, but now the Apple logo is displayed for eight seconds, the screen goes out for a second and then the Apple logo will appear again. This cycle continued for an hour or two.

    I suppose that, given that the Apple logo is the display, there is something that caused the iPod to be stuck in an endless reboot loop. It would more likely be the result of a bad hard drive or a bad "mother"?

    Thoughts?

    Hey there JonKerfoot!

    I'm happy to hear that you were able to get out the iPod in an attempt to be able to use again.  It is certainly a good sign if it was allowing you to load, but now we have to take a look and see why it seems to be in an endless loop with the Apple logo, then restarting.  When you have made zeroing in supporting documents, he was trying to put it in disk mode? This information will determine if we can get it back working or to focus on the service options for what he.  When you get a chance, take a look at this and see if it's the steps you've tried already.  If not, then go ahead and give them a shot to try to get this operational return.

  • Starting on black screen (VFD002)

    My MacBook Pro (13-inch, late 2013, OS X 10.11.6, retina, Iris 1536 MB Intel graphics card) has the same symptoms covered by the repair Extension program which deals with the graphic problems:

    https://www.Apple.com/support/MacBookPro-videoissues/

    However, nothing is said about 13 '' models, which is my case. Why?

    Start up my laptop to a completely black screen. I ran the diagnostic test and it seems that there is a problem with the graphics card: VFD002

    It appeared after I closed the lid of my Macbook, sleep in battery mode implementation. When I opened the lid of my MBP display did not wake up from slumber. However, I can use an external monitor via HDMI, but if in SafeMode only (the retina display main black stills and the external screen is flickering when scrolling). In addition, this graphics card problem leads to crash the system.

    I already tried Resetting PRAM and SMS, but in vain.

    It my second time this has happened. The previous one-any return to normal until after a new OS install. But it happened again so reinstall OS X is not a solution.

    More and more users are complaining of the decline in the quality of some hardware components...

    However, nothing is said about 13 '' models, which is my case. Why?

    The reason is that they are not included in the repair Extension program. Follow the options in the process of repair anyway.
