• MacBook Pro A1278 starts with black or white screen

  Please help, my 13 "Macbook Pro, circa 2011 displays a white screen briefly and make sound boots, then goes to a white screen.  I tried to reset the PRAM a couple of times, no luck, reset SMC strikes did not help.

  Can anyone offer additional troubleshooting steps?

  Thank you.

  Please take each of these steps that you have not already tried it. Some of them are not applicable to your model or your situation. Stop when the problem is resolved.

  To restart a computer is not responding, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the unit turns off, then release, wait a few seconds and press again briefly.

  Step 1

  The first step to respond to a startup failure is to secure data. If you want to keep the contents of the boot drive and you have not already at least a current backup, you should try to back up now, before we do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care the data changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.

  There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to store backup data.

  a. starting the partition recovery or an hour Local Machine backup volume (button option key at startup). When the OS X Utilities appears, launch disk utility and follow the instructions in this support articleto the title of the "Instructions for the backup on an external hard drive via disk utility". The article refers to the start of a DVD, but the recovery mode procedure is the same. You don't need a DVD if you use OS X 10.7 or higher.

  (b) If step 1 fails due to disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to save some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external hard drive with OS X installed, the start of it. Otherwise, if you have access to the Internet, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external hard drive and install OS X on it. You will use the installation program of recovery, rather than download it from the App Store.

  c. If you have access to a Mac, and it work and have both the non-working Mac FireWire ports or stroke, start the Mac non-working in target disk mode. Work Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique will not work with USB, Ethernet, Wi - Fi or Bluetooth.

  d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is replaceable by the user, remove it and climb into a docking station that is pregnant or an external drive. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  Step 2

  If you have booted from an external drive, make sure that the internal boot volume is selected in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

  Start in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. If you do not see the words "Safe Boot" in the start screen, you did not start in safe mode. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, and some things don't work at all, including the networks without wire on some Macs.

  The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You must know the password for the connection to connect. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  If the startup progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or the system stops automatically when the progress bar appears, the boot volume is corrupted and the player is probably defective. In this case, go to step 9. If you have another problem with the player, replace it immediately.

  If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the trash and then open the window of info on the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) Make sure you have at least 9 GB of space available, as shown in the window. If you do not, copy as many files as necessary on another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion is not complete until you empty the trash again. This, until the space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  If the boot process hangs again, the problem is probably caused by third-party software you have installed. Ask for additional instructions.

  Step 3

  If the startup process stops at a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, then the logon dialog box may be active but not visible because of a bug. You may be able to connect by using the arrow keys or the cursor to select the password field and type your password as usual.

  Step 4

  Case of failure of step 3, the boot volume can be complete. If you saw previously implemented guard space drive is low, it is certainly the case. You might be able to start in safe mode , even if you cannot boot normally. Otherwise, boot from an external hard drive, or well technology for step 1b, 1 c or 1 d allows to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation volume.

  Step 5

  If a Mac desktop (without the built-in keyboard) crashes on a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Hold down the button on the side of a wireless Apple keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you use a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.

  Step 6

  Sometimes, a startup failure can be solved by resetting the NVRAM.

  Step 7

  If there is an integrated optical drive, a disk may be stuck in there. Follow these instructions to remove it.

  Step 8

  Press and hold the power button until the unit turns off. Disconnect all devices wired except those needed to start and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use another keyboard and/or mouse, if these devices are wired. If you can start now, one of the devices that you disconnected, or a combination of both, the origin of the problem. Discover that it is a process of elimination.

  Step 9

  Launch the utility disk in recovery mode (see step 1). Select the boot volume, and then run the repair disk. If problems are found, repeat until that clear. If disk utility reports that the volume is not repairable, the drive is defective and must be replaced. You can choose to tolerate such malfunction in the reader's life. In this case, delete the volume and restore it from a backup. If the same thing happens again, replace the drive immediately.

  It is one of the rare situations where you must also run repair permissions, ignoring the erroneous warnings, that it can produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.

  Step 10

  If the boot device is an aftermarket SSD, it may have an update and/or a forced "garbage collection". Instructions how to do this with a Crucial SSD of brand have been posted here. Some of these instructions may apply to other brands of SSDS, but you should check with the technical support of the provider.

  Step 11

  Reinstall the OS. If the Mac has upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you need the Apple ID and password used to upgrade.

  Step 12

  Do as in step 11, but this time clear the disk utility boot volume before installing. The system should restart automatically in the installation wizard. Follow the prompts to transfer data from one Time Machine or another backup.

  Step 13

  This step applies only to models that have a battery logic-board ("PRAM"): all of the Mac Pro, MacBook with a removable main battery and a few others (models not updated). A flat battery logic-board may cause a boot failure. In general the failure will be preceded by the loss of the system and boot disk clock settings. Refer to the user manual for replacement instructions. You may need to take the machine to a provider of services to have to replace the battery.

  Step 14

  If you get this far, you probably deal a hardware failure. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.

• MacBook Pro freezes, screen starts shaking and shuts

  I am facing a problem that after starting to use the macbook for a few minutes. Screen suddenly starts to shake quickly. Everything freezes, and if all the sounds played, last moments will continue to repeat. This happens for like 10 seconds until the computer turns off completely. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=jpvRcQLdWXc

  My MacBook pro is mid 2014 13 "version. I guess it started to happen after updating to 10.11.4. I tried to reinstall and the problem is still there. Test hardware receives no error. I figured it could be a heating problem. But after, it seems that this happens even at ordinary temperatures. This screenshot is just taken immediately after a crash.

  

  I fixed it by clearing the NVRAM.

  Here's how to reset your PRAM:

  1. Turn your machine off. Yes, while down, no sleep, or a disconnection.
  2. Press the power button and press command-option-p-r. ...
  3. Hold these keys down until your Mac what it charges again and you here the startup chime.
  4. Release the keys and let your Mac restarts normally.

• Why is el capitan slowing/freezing applications I try to use on my macbook pro 13 "2010 mid? 16 minutes to open safari and 2 tabs, another 1/2 hour to load. missed reading iTunes, imovie took 12 hours to import a clip, then en

  El capitan sank my already very usable macbook pro 13 "! EACH application is slowed until almost uselessness, takes almost five minutes to wake up to the top/connect to wifi after sleep, a lot of problems with playback of streaming audio and audio itunes, making my virtually inaccessible whole itunes library. Stuck in the date and time, just a general nightmare.

  A took 15 minutes to open safari and two tabs, more than an hour to open chrome, imovie has spent more than 12 hours to load a video from my phone, and then frozen.

  I do not usually post in forums or discussion because I don't usually have something to contribute, but I wish that I had listened to the warnings of this despicable OS. I feel forced into it. I feel so angry that I can't access simple features of my audio and video programs that I have used so much before this debacle.

  So far, it's worse than Windows Vista. Way worse.

  If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful, but I just try to find an older OSX will not treat my computer as if it was a cell grocery store to throw.

  I have two macbook pro and two iphones, used for video and audio digital professional. I might as well have a Dell.

• I recently bought a Macbook Pro model of basic (January 2016) from the Apple site and found once it arrived it was a 2012 model. Should I have a leg flying to complain?

  I recently bought a base model Macbook Pro 13 "(29 janvier 2016) of the Apple site and found once it arrived it was a model 2012." Should I have a leg flying to complain? I expected to have been a model of 2015 at least. There is no indication on the site it is a 2012 model that I see.

  Because the MacBook Pro with the DVD has not been updated since 2012, there is no 2015 version of this model. I think Apple has this MBP autour, for those who really need an optical drive on the road. Otherwise the MacBook Air or rMBP is a better computer (and the 2015 MacBook Air is faster than the MBP of base)

• MacBook Pro stops when the lid closes, loses the open tabs and background image...

  Hi all

  I recently had a new hard drive installed in my 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro. I am running El Capitan 10.11.2. Since then, my computer cuts automatically to the bottom when the lid is closed, losing all Web pages, and for some reason, some background, I've saved. (My browser is Mozilla Firefox and it prompts you to restore me the tabs lost, which he will).

  The led standby does not blink or light up when the computer is turned on, it will turn on only at startup. At startup, the login page is displayed, and after that I entered my password it takes about 15 to 25 seconds to load and open my account. What is going on?!

  Summary:

  Stop when the lid is closed,

  Loses the background image & open Web pages.

  Standby blinks only when starting,

  Time of loading extended after logging into my account.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot for reading.

• Mac Pro 2008 No. Startup Manager Access/Gray screen on startup

  I'm in a difficult situation and hoping a Ninja Mac can give a helping hand.

  Had a RAM issue (is no longer recognized a pair of memory modules in a 2008 Mac Pro, El Capitan), and among the troubleshooting steps, I did a PRAM reset (press / hold down ALT + CMD + P + R during startup) just to see if it could resolve. Unfortunately, the Mac would not start in front of a gray-white screen with a flashing icon of folder/question mark. Returned never me to get there.

  I had read that resetting the PRAM the disc start, among other things, may need to be reset afterwards, and this seems to be the case. Looked this solution and kept diligently press Option key during startup. This time, no folder icon, instead a sensitive cursor, but nothing else. Gray-white screen only, no boot manager to select the startup disk is suitable.

  I also tried the following...

  1. Starting in the Diagnostic Mode... Gray screen.
  2. Restore/recovery... Gray screen.
  3. Reset the SMC... Gray screen.
  4. Enter Safe Mode... Gray screen.

  OS (and apps) on flash PCI cards. All files are on hard disks in the 4-Bay, as well as a player flash remains connected to a (used as a scratch of PS) free SATA port. So I can't really share, but I wonder if I shoot all readers it would require a search for another source?

  I create an El Capitan USB boot (currently copy with createinstallmedia), but don't expect that it will offer what anyone else that its use is based on access to the Startup Manager at startup..., that I can't do. There are the graphics on the screen (missing folder icon, mobile mouse cursor) so can not imagine a video problem.

  Looking forward to enter here.

  Success!

  I created a USB bootable OS X installer using these instructionsand createinstallmedia. After some messing around with the Terminal syntax USB was ready to go. My concern, however, was that the operating instructions required by selecting the drive of the Startup Manager... which I could not access.

  With the USB stick plugged in I started to turned on the Mac while pressing the key OCCUPIED Palestinian territory and this time, the selection screen pops up showing just the USB key for installation of El Capitan. Got that we open and instead of installing I chose Startup Manager in the installation menu bar, took my normal OS drive and rebooted. Back in business, no problems.

  This put aside, although I understood that reset PRAM would also require reselect startup disk, I don't have a hot clue why did not appear the Boot Manager - or any other useful diagnostic. If someone could throw some light here would be appreciated.

  Peter,

  The Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app is for Mac and PC, but there is an app on iTunes you can download: Adobe Creative cloud on the App Store on iTunes. The application makes it easy to download your files or photos from your iPad or iPhone to your creative space Cloud. You can then synchronize the files downloaded on your other computers or share files directly on Behance.

  See this link for more information:
