• MacBook won't start

  I have a MacBook Pro 2011. It does not completely start. A little more to halfway through the progress bar to become white, and it seems to freeze. I cannot start in safe mode, but was able to boot into recovery mode and ran first aid on the hard drive. It looks ok, but still does not start. I was also able to do another backup via disk utility (I think) - last prior backup via time machine was 2 weeks and there are... Any suggestions? The hard drive is faulty?

  It's a possibility.

  Run Apple Hardware Test:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201257

  Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.

  Try SMC and NVRAM resets:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201295

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204063

  Try an start secure;

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201262

  If no success, start the recovery partition as you did before.

  Run disk utility > first aid again and try to reinstall os x.

  If the installation is successful, try a start.

  If still no success, make an appointment at a bar of genius Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

  Ciao.

• Computer won't start and the screen is weird looking

  After the maid left today, I noticed my computer screen on my DELL PC running Windows XP HOME Edition (service pack 2 or 3 - I don't know) seemed strange. The pixels have been weird in several areas of the screen and the cursor froze.  I tried to turn off the computer, but it will turn off, then I disconnected and finally had to hold the power switch on the CPU for a few seconds to turn it off.  When I tried to turn it back on again, it showed Windows startup to the top of page - but the screen still seemed weird - kind of out of touch.  The computer does not start.  It's just a black screen with a cursor in the middle of the screen is frozen and the mouse does not move.  I tried to push the F-8 when starting Windows screen came. He took me to a different boot options menu, but always with the print-screen out of phase. I tried a few startup options, but it just brought me back to the Windows boot screen with the logo being shifted - sort of split and strange looking.  Is it possible that my maid has done something to the computer, wiping down? Is it possible to fix this? It's never happened before. Can someone PLEASE?  Thank you

  Hi Goldie309,

  I suggest that you reset the default monitor settings using the buttons available on the computer screen and check if that helps.

  You can also connect another monitor to the computer to check if the monitor is defective.

• System will not start completely, blue screens and then restart

  Well, I need serious help. I have Windows 7 and installed Ubuntu on my XPS M1730. Yesterday my laptop shuts off and when I went to put it back on it would start start and then blue screened and restarted, continuing the cycle. I tried to use the system restore (Gets an error). I also tried to reformat using the Windows Vista disk that came with my laptop. It does not start, it just goes to the screen where I can choose between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. My friend is here and I'm on this laptop, and we wanted to play our game together. So please help quickly (if it is a command line or other) then we can game. Thank you :D

  To boot from a DVD, positioned on the BootOrder:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Vista won't start! gray screen

  When I start my computer, windows error recovery comes with 2 optoins.
  Start the reboot system (recommended)
  Start windows normally.
  When I click on startup repair "windows loading files", and then black screen for a minute or 2, then a gray screen with message
  "system recovery options" the installed program cannot start. Click ok to turn off the computer...

  I put the boot to boot from the cd/dvd and using a recovery disk, "press any key to start from the cd/dvd.
  then "windows loading files" then it goes to a blue screen with some white thick vertical lines.
  After about 5 minutes or more, the "install windows" screen.
  I enter the language/time andcurrency/keyboard and click Next.
  then repair windows.
  "system recovery options" appears, but there is nothing in the box operating system for me to click to fix?
  "If you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load the drivers from your hard drive or click on the next button... what should I do to reslove this as im going nuts! Please help me.

  (I don't have a vista disc (pre installed on the laptop), I have the recovery disk is one that I downloaded on the net)

  "I would contact the manufacturer of the computer, if under warranty."

  I have alread advises you to contact the manufacturer, as the disc of startup repair does not; which you say Toshiba:

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Read the background information:

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Good luck with Toshiba.

  See you soon.

• MacBook won't start or load in single user

  Hello. I hope you can help

  My sons MacBook primer is more. It happened a day after that that he has uploaded a large number of movies on iTunes.  Not sure if there is a connection.  It shows a gray bar after typing in his password - stop down after half of the bar is filled.

  I tried everything I can find on the forums.

  It does not start in safe mode

  It will start in recovery mode.  Disk utility, says that everything is ok on the hard drive. However, it is also said that it is 100% full of 'other' files.

  It does not start in single user mode - gives me the error:

  Builduser error (): construction of a user of type 0 error x 20010008

  I have reset the NVRAM

  FileVault is not enabled - at least the so-called recovery mode

  any other ideas?

  You have another Mac, you can use or borrow? You could try booting the Macbook target disk mode and connect it to another Mac.

  The hard drive should appear on the other Mac, and you can try to remove some of the films to get about 10 GB of free space on the disk. Then try to start it normally.

  Share files between two computers with target - Apple Support disk mode

  If you need to borrow one, try to see if the Macbook target disk mode - I don't see why he shouldn't, however.

• My MacBook won't start properly...

  Hello.

  My MacBook Pro (with El Capitan) does not seem to start correctly... I've updated the DIVX program and after that, the pc restarted just by itself (there is no nessage that a reboot was iminent)... However there has been music of reboot, followed by the Apple logo and the loading bar (at this stage there was already something weird... the white color background and distorted)...

  After some time of loading this bar, she evacuated, background color standard, but then the pc will turn off by itself (before getting to the part of authetication)... If I turn again the same things happen...

  Does anyone know or can tell me one any solution to this? Is anyway to start the pc in safe mode, before that, so I could try to fix it?

  Thanks for the help.

  Kind regards

  Tiago

  • For safe mode: immediately after the tone, hold down the SHIFT key for a few seconds.
  • for the singleuser mode: immediately after the tone, hold down the command key AND the s key.
  • To start with messages: immediately after the tones, press and hold v for a few seconds (verbose)

  Let us know what is happening, last 10 or if lines of verbose would be useful if you can intercept them.

• MacBook won't start not

  Hi, I have a Macbook late 2009, 4GB, El captain.  Since last year it started to slow down a bit, then applications are beginning to freeze and the beach ball are gone and... for ages (in hours) and even if I try to force that, I couldn't because everything has been frozen. So I had to force shut down the computer. Then, after a while, I couldn't start the computer and when I went to recovery mode, disk utility, the hard drive was still there but nothing about this, so I reinstalled from Time Machine. Was OK for a week, then again the same thing. For these last days, everything was ok, restart this morning I could not at all so I reinstall it again from Time Machine. I verifier check with EtreCheck, run first aid and everything seems fine. What is going on? Someone had this problem? Thanks for help.

  Why not publish the report of EtreCheck?

• Equium L40 - Windows won't start, message on screen

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium L40 - 17M.
  Recently when update my antivirus, my computer tried to restart but now does not load correctly.
  Now whenever I try to turn on the computer, after the initial configuration screen Toshiba I'm greeted by the following message is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

  Playing a disc error has occurred
  Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.

  However, this message seems right once again!
  Suggestions please!

  It could be a problem of file system corruption, in which case you can connect the HARD drive to another PC and run CHKDSK on the drive.

  If no help, then check the bad sectors HARD disk using the Test advanced in Hitachi DFT (Google is your friend)

  Or you can try to run your recovery discs recovery. This reformatted HARD drive, so you will need your first of all if the data backup sound still there (you can use a USB 2.5 "HDD adapter).

  If you really need your data back, there are data recovery programs, you can download to search the HARD disk for lost files.

• Inspiron 6000 - won't start Windows - Blue Screen of Death - the hard drive is Toast! Help me!

  I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 2-1/2 years, with XP Media Center.  Last night at the start, he went to the Blue Screen of Death.  I tried to restart about 10 times, each time by selecting a variety such as 'use last known good Configuration, Safe Mode, Etc.' nothing works.  Get to the point where the windows flag is waving in the wind (may be waving goodbye?) and then hangs at Blue Screen of Death.

  To make matters worse, this is the only hard drive, I have not saved for a few months and I can't seem to find my recovery/boot drive... I swear to you that I made a copy when you are prompted 2-1/2 years ago?

  in any case, I started press F12 and got to the dell diagnostic interface.  I ran the tests in the Section of the blue screen, and almost all categories of hard drives contained errors.  I tried Googling some of them and almost all of the shots indicate disk hard death is imminent.

  So, anyone have any ideas how I can:

  1 retrieve the data

  2. get Windows transferred to another hard drive (without having to buy a whole new copy)

  Any help is appreciated deeply... only 3 weeks until final and just lost a huge amount of assignments for my grad. school...

  Thank you

• MacBook Air 11 "2012 won't start

  My MacBook has been in place and become Finder does not always whenever I try to watch my files.

  So I decided to restart and now it won't start, the startup would always freeze in the middle of the progress bar.

  I tried:

  Repair/check disk + permissions - no problem

  Reset NVRAM memory - still does not start

  Reset SMC - still does not start

  I tried single - user drive is quite well

  Reinstalling OSX - cannot run due to 'this article is temporarily unavailable.

  And finally, the verbose mode and I am skeptical behind the text following code/orders:

  Dynamic code of I080211AWDLPeerManager::configure not support on this device

  I080211AWDLPeerManager::getVHtCapabilityIE cannot get the vht ret 2d capabilities

  EN1: enable successful "Promiscuous" mode

  en0: BSSID changed to XX

  Afree mode detailed of these commands would freeze too.

  I tried almost everything and I don't want to consider formatting my drive, which can also not let me install OSX for the above mentioned reason. So yes, all my options are gone. It's quite frustrating that came from nowhere and that my options are now extremely slim.

  To add my MacBook is no longer a guarantee and it doesn't have the AppleCare.

  I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

  Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive

  HD recovery start: restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Repair the hard drive and permissions: at startup, select in the main menu disk utility. Repair hard disk and permissions as follows.

  When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click the first aid tab, and then click the repair disk button. If disk utility reports any errors that have been corrected, then again run repair disc until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions . Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than Wi - Fi and more reliable.

  If you have no success with the above, try:

  Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

  Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Erase the drive:

  1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

  2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

  list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

  3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

  Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

  the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

  4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

  because it is three times faster than wireless.

  This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it.

• 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.
