MacBook Pro-life extendable start-up chime, but does not start

I have a start 2011 15 "MBPro8, 2

Quad Core Intel Core i7

2.30 GHz

Boot ROM version: MBP81.88Z.0047.B2A.1506082204

Intel HD Graphics 3000 VRAM:512 MB

AMD Radeon HD 6750M VRAM:1 GB

8 GB of RAM 1333 MHz DIMM0

It will not start.  Trying to start the machine, it enters a loop-

1. startup chime

2. grey screen with Apple

3. the small wheel starts to turn under the Apple

4. the screen goes black

... and the cycle starts over.

The computer does not start in Mode safe.  In an attempt to safe mode the loop above has the addition:

3. a progress bar is displayed but does not progress.

I have reset the PRAM

It will start up in target Mode, so I was able to recover data

In target Mode, I was able to run first aid utility on the drive.  This has not fixed the problem.

I can hold down the Option key and see Macintosh HD and the recovery Partition.  If I try to boot from the recovery partition, I get the same loop.

I can start in the Test of online material, which revealed no material problems

I can boot in Verbose mode and it always happens in the same place

Execution fsck_hfs (version 226.1.1 of hfs)

BootCacheControl: cannot open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory

' ' It would be possible for me to insert the "var/db/BootCache.playlist" file using target disk mode?

Other thoughts?

Have you tried resetting the SMC?

  • MacBook Pro glued on the gray screen and does not start. Help, please!

    Hello

    My 13 "MacBook Pro (mid-2009), running Snow leopard (10.6.8), has finally given up and won't start.

    I tried to boot into SafeMode several times, but the loading bar does not move and the laptop just completely stops.

    I also tried to boot in single user mode with the command fsck - fy, but this results in the following:

    disk 0 s 2: I / 0 error

    Invalid node structure

    (4,35296)

    * The Macintosh HD volume could not be completely checked.

    / dev/rdiskOs2 (hfs)

    You leave with signal 8

    I guess that means that there is something wrong with the hard disk and some corrupt files?

    My problem is that I have no time machine backups, so I would like to know if it is possible to do something to get to the top and running.

    That, I do not have an external drive with my main important files and photos on a failure, so is it possible to completely erase the computer so I can sell it at least?

    I really need help on what I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure it out!

    I'm not all techniques with regard to the material. I tried doing research and have seen things, which suggests that I should reinstall the OS X, this would imply in the disks provided with the laptop when the power?

    Any advice greatly appreciated!

    Boot from the DVD and run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the hard disk using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system.

    When you restart, use Setup Wizard to restore your data.

  • Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 7 but does not start

    I purchased a standalone version of Acrobat Pro XI and installed on my Windows 7 computer. The first time I try to run, I get a window asking me to check the serial number. The DDL for the product name does not list Acrobat Pro XI and it does not accept my serial number (even if I copy / pasted from the page of order on the adobe.com website). It is said that the serial number is valid, but that the product is not on the machine. And yet, when I browse to program files > Adobe > Acrobat, alto - it is.

    When I double-click on the exe file, I get the message, 'validation serial number', followed of "serial number is valid, but no product calling is not found...". »

  • MacBook Pro and SanDisk Ultra II 960 GB does not

    I bought two SSDs to 960GB SanDisk Ultra II for installation in a Late 2009 27 inch iMac and a MacBook Pro mid-2012. I could absolutely not anything other than a white screen on the 27-inch. I could get the external computer to boot via USB, but when it is plugged in SATA, it wouldn't start. OWC had a few caveats on the NVidia SATA bargaining chips down to a 1.5GBs of speed when you try to bind to a 6 G drive. I replaced it with an Electra OWC 3 G Reader (which worked perfectly). I returned the unopened SSD.

    My next goal is to enter the SSD in the MBP. He chips Intel SATA and is not supposed to have bizarre problems. Once again, I have installed the operating system and started via the USB port, no problems. It does not start when installed internally via SATA. If I drill the old HD, it starts immediately. The SSD makes a folder with one? in the middle.

    I have repartioned the reader for Mac. I also tried to clone with all disk utility, same result. I guess I could try SuperDuper or clone of carbon. I just installed another OWC drive in an other iMac and used disk cloning utility, and it worked perfectly.

    I wish that I had bought the OWC drive now, but I'm stuck with this open disk and I would like to make it work. Has anyone else had problems? I think that the drive is bad, but when in a dock player, it works very well and will start the computer via USB.

    When the SSDS was to the iMac 27 inches, she would not even allow the target disk mode, ot any source of start-up. I really thought that the video card was defective at first, but this player has been creating chaos.

    All the words of wisdom are welcome.

    To make a long story short, it's the SATA cable. The computer would boot from a classic HD so I thouhgt the SATA cable was OK.  Apparently, when these cables fail, they can operate at low speed, but there still may not work at all in trying to negotiate a connection with a 6 G SSD speeds. I also noticed that with the wrong cable, the link negotiated with the convnetional reader speed was 1.5 Gbit/s which was lower than expected. I replaced the cable of a reputable vendor and I got another job of SSD. I think the SanDisk that I ended up returning was really beautiful AND compatible.

    I was clued in after a brand that I know with certainty was compatible would not work either. PowerBookMedic sells relaible cables. "cheap" replacements are not recommended.

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • MacBook pro running on IOS 10.11.5 does not connect to wifi on its own.

    My macbook pro does not connect to wifi instantly and sometimes not at all.

    While he looks for the networks, if I click the wifi icon, it shows my network wifi under 3 bars in the list of wifi, but even if I click on my wifi, it continues to search without connecting to it. After that it seeks for a while, it connects sometimes, but most of the time, a new screen will be pop up saying please choose a network and it will show my network on the list. If I click on my network and tap on connect, it will connect instantly.

    to connect faster, give less to think about:

    then ruthlessly prune this list select everything except your home network and use the [---] button to remove tham all except one that is important for you at this time.

  • U2515H, MacBook Pro 2015, Dell mDP to DP cable does not?

    Hi all

    I just bought a MacBook Pro 15 "model mid 2015." I have a Dell U2515H monitor. The cable provided by Dell is a DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort. I used this same cable with my Macbook Air late 2011 and it worked. I tried to use the same cable with the Macbook Pro that I bought and it doesn't work. I got an HDMI cable and only that I connected to my TV and that works very well. I wonder why it does not work with the DisplayPort cable since it worked with the old Macbook Air. This new crush does not accept this type of cable? Because if not, I'll have to buy another HDMI cable :-/

    Thank you, Ralph

    Problem solved just!

    As incredible as it may seem, I realized that I was a plug in the side of the cable mini DisplayPort to the Macbook Pro!

    I thought that these cables have been designed to have a CAP that prevents this sort of thing! :-(

    I bet I wasn't the only one to do that.

  • MacBook Pro is super slow since yesterday and does not load now

    I went to use my MacBook yesterday and it was to be extremely slow and after hard resetting (by pressing the power button) about three times, it was fine. Now today, I turned on my MacBook and now the progress bar will only about 60-70% of the way and then stay stuck there. I restarted once and it was still stuck. I restarted once more go in safe mode, but it was not completely load again. I found another discussion about a person having a similar problem and I have reset the NVRAM and still it will not load.

    sounds to me like your HD is a failure...

  • PC runs, but does not start. Monitor, keyboard and mouse with no signal.

    PC runs, but does not start. Monitor, keyboard and mouse with no signal. Pretty much. And when you want me to remove the battery of the bios, or whatever, it seems tight and hard to get out because it is surrounded by other elements.

    All fans work, the power/battery or anything that works I think that, since there is a fan on the right where it is and it seems to work. I remember what happens before, I don't know, but before that, there are many gels. This error below was made before all this happened, but I managed to run f8 and then run normally until it freezes again. Then, after that, it runs but does not start. No beeps etc. The best fans will have plenty of vouches and Bravo to wherever you like me to vouch or maybe send the great service that you provide to administrators if that's even possible, haha.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is a sign of a lack of food.  Looks like you have a desktop computer?

    Power supplies run about $50.  It is a rectangular box at the corner of the system in which the power supply will from the outside.  It's a pretty standard form in most of the PC and with a little investigation thorough replacements can be found.

    It is usually held in place by 4 screws and can be held in place with a spring clip.

    Most essential, is that you need to buy a replacement with the right number of straight plug forms to adapt to your PC.

    This seems more complicated than it really is and takes about 5 to 10 minutes to do the replacement.

    Look at the power output of the power supply failure and buy a new, more powerful.  New desktop PC usually come usually with a diet under size and what are the causes these failures is too strong a request for devices you have connected.  So, buy one with a higher power rating.  Usually about 500 Watts does the trick.

    If you do not feel upwards to this task, a technician should not charge you much like this.
