Progress bar of logo and gray MacBook Pro Apple.

MY MacBook pro is not terribly old. Not more than 3 years is not new.

It has the apple Logo and underneath is a gray progress bar. It loads thar bar take some time, then just stops almost as some laptops do when they update

anywyas what I need help with this!

Please?

Thank you!

make a gray screen:

your hardware works basically

the charges Apple logo:

The Apple logo can only be demonstrated that it was brought in by the initial blob of software boot loader. See gray what apple means that your player has responded to this request and produced the right stuff. That this kind of things, then initializes, and to get more data in the drive Initializes the file system. The file system then try to mount the boot disk to read the files.

draws a progress bar:

If this bar remains for more than a very short time, the boot drive cannot be mounted, because the directory is damaged. Your computer is now running the equivalent of disk utility (ERD) while showing you the progress for about five minutes.

-If this unit can be mounted after the repair, the boot continues.

-If the drive cannot be mounted, your Mac will stop, because it cannot continue.

What to do:

Start to recovery and run utility disk (ERD) repeatedly until it comes clean or gets stuck.

-If it comes clean after a few passes, try to start again

-If it gets stuck, you need another drive to make progress. Get another drive and an external enclosure to maintain and install it on Mac OS from scratch. Then you can use it to try to save some of the files, if necessary. OR if you have a reliable backup, you can perform a restore on the new drive.

    -a week, I woke up the Mac from sleep and he informed me that he could not find a keyboard or trackpad; given zero had no effect; keyboard and mouse USB Bluetooth worked

    -J' I reset the SMC. This has no effect

    -J' have tried a restore and noticed something very strange: because the restoration would take 6 hours or more, I needed to use the Mac, I cancelled restore... and the keyboard and trackpad worked well... for a day about

    -J' started having intermittent problems with keys does not, then the keyboard and trackpad stopped working again. It recharges worked, but only a couple of times and then I had to use the external keyboard and mouse once again

    Hello CocoGriff!

    Thanks for reaching out on your trackpad and keyboard works intermittently on your MacBook Pro.  Looks like you've got a good start on things so far.

    Reinstall OS X can be good to rule out a software problem, causing their lack of reaction.  Before we get to that, you can try restarting in safe mode to see if they act even in safe mode.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

    If it is the same in safe mode, then you can proceed with reinstalling Mac OS X.

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent.plist

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • I managed to spill water on my MacBook Pro, Apple will know if I open just to check if the sensor LCI (water) have been activated? And if they somehow, this void my warranty?

    Today, I spilled a glass of water and it went all over my MacBook Pro keyboard. The laptop is less than a month. I did everything what is recommended - I turned off and returned upside down now and just do it sit down u with ventilation and a fan just next door. If I open it in a few days to see if sensors of water have been activated, this will automatically cancel my warranty even if they are not. I read that sometimes they get activated, so I would check.

    Water + computer means generally computer died.

    Turn the power off.  Leave it unplugged.  Find your backup.

    Let the Genius Bar to determine how much damage has been done.

  • Trackpad and keyboard Macbook Pro retina don't work

    I got my Macbook Pro for 3 months with all be good... until this morning, after that start, the keyboard and the trackpad do not work. External elements of USB keyboard/mouse do not work.

    I checked around and other people seem to have had the same problem, but do not work all the mentioned methods (SMC, NVRAM) reset. I talked to Apple who say that they will have to take a look and maybe fix it. But since that I use for my work that I can't be without it for 3-5 days, as I don't get paid!

    Has anyone fixed this problem themselves? If the reset didn't work or was it a hardware problem?

    You can go to universal access and make sure that setting are good, such as sticky key is off to the keyboard and the mouse button is off the mouse and trackpad. Or use the R command to restore the operating system. Should make sure that all your fillings are saved to do a restore only effects of the operating system, but backup is always a good idea. But this does not solve the problem, you will still need to make an appointment at the genius bar and bring it in.

  • Any Creative cloud application starts and the macbook pro fans going crazy

    Hi, I'm updating cloud creative apps every time Adobe updates.

    Recently, I discovered that my macbook pro fans are going super fast with the latest updates of any application (Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design and the latest app for Creative Cloud etc.).

    Yesterday I was working on Illustrator and fans were running hot, the app said this use of memory, it was almost complete and the UI of Illustrator went to alignment mode.

    Closing the app and restarting, the problem disappeared.

    But every day, whenever I open an application CC, the fans become noisely and they go very fast.

    I appreciate any kind of help.

    AdobeCare contacted via twitter, after Adobe customer via chat.

    The two has uninstalled me & reinstalled, start in safe mode, start from a different account.

    But no solutions to this problem.

    By myself, investigation on the activity monitor, I discovered that the problem was engine CEPHtml.

    Google search on these words... This resolved: CEPHtmlEngine slows down the computer (Mac) and the solution

    That's everyone having the same problem.

    Adobe, please fix soon.

  • Lightroom Workflow with 2 portable external drives and old Macbook Pro?

    I am considering buying two portable external drives 2 to USB 3.0 WD for use with Lightroom.  I save the original photos on the external hard drive, an and save backups of these photos on external hard drive 2.    I have a laptop MacBook Pro older (early 2011) and understand that even if USB 3.0, as my laptop drives will always use only 2.0 because of his age and will be more slow, but still OK in general.  This will be too slow to use Lightroom for my laptop to access photos that are on the external hard drive #1 for editing?  For reasons of speed, to the seller for external drives has suggested that I have first save my photos on my laptop computer, edit them there using lightroom and then then save original photos of external drive (as the teacher) and two external drive (as backup).  He then suggested that I delete photos from my laptop to keep storage here low.  That looks like it would defeat the purpose of Lightroom, and I would say even not sure if links with my changes would remain unchanged.  (I'm new to Lightroom).  The seller said that he was not a user of Lightroom.   Please advise on an appropriate workflow to edit, save, and back up effectively with an older MacBook Pro laptop.

    I worked with images on an external hard drive in the past and have never experienced performance problems in doing so. You can keep your catalog on the external drive as well. In this way, the hard drive can be moved from one computer to another if necessary.

    Animated images from your hard drive of the laptop on the external drive will not lose the settings because all settings are stored in the catalog. If you do all your withdraw in Lightroom and then the program keep track where the images and all settings are retained. But unless you are experiencing a kind of performance achieved by working with your images on an external drive, I do not think that there is no advantage in editing and then get out them externally.
