Stuck on Start Up Apple screen logo with 50% progress bar, tried everything. Help, please!

Hello world. I'd appreciate it really all the advice that you can offer me to help me fix my laptop. I have a mid-2010 Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo Macbook running OS X Yosemite. A year ago, he started trolling a lot, so replaced the HDD with a Samsung 850 EVO 120 GB SSD internal 2.5 inch SATA III. He works much better since.

A few days ago, I bought a Google Chromecast and had set up with my MBP. Subsequently, he began trolling and I noticed there are apps in the Launchpad, that I had never downloaded (reader of Google, Gmail, Youtube, etc.). I could not remove these applications or drag them to the trash. Concerned, I decided to back up my files on a USB key and re - install the OS X.

However, during the priming of the MBP, it is stuck on the Apple logo screen, with the bar never go beyond 50%. (Photo: http://postimg.org/image/66qh6x633/)

What I tried:

PHASE 1 (Before reformatting)

-Safe Mode: Button power button and shift held down. Hit or miss, worked 1-2 times, but when I reboot, is again stuck at the Apple logo.

-Reinstall OS X: CMD + R; After 15-20 minutes get to OS X utility screen; Reinstalled OS X Yosemite; 7 hours to reinstall - but when the mbp restarts to complete the installation, it is stuck at the Apple logo again.

-Reformatting: CMD + R; 15-20 minutes get to OS X utility screen (several reboots to work); Select repair for all discs/drives (Samsung SSD, HD Recovery). Exit said that both are very good; Select clear to HD recovery. When this was done, I tried to reinstall OS X Yosemite, but the MBP shuts down suddenly. When I turned on it again, it is returned to be stuck on the loading screen Apple logo. Attempt to restart after 15 +, but same result every time.

PHASE 2 (After reformatting).

-Power-> CMD + R = blocked screen Apple logo with 50% progress bar

-Power-> Option = shows 2 player and free Wi - Fi area (Pic: http://postimg.org/image/58qi2j1vl/); Have you tried all the combinations, but regardless, always gets stuck at the screen of the Apple logo to 50% complete, after an hour, I suddenly hear ' to use English as the main language... ". ", but the screen is still stuck. I left it on 36 hours once and nothing has changed

-Power-> Shift = error (Pic: http://postimg.org/image/tahklsvy1/); Keep restarting or shows some other error (Pic: http://postimg.org/image/thstc6b59/) and restart. Never crosses.

Tried other things:

-Reset PRAM: When restarting MBP, is stuck at the Apple logo screen, 50% progress bar

-Reset SMC: Stuck on the Apple logo screen for a long time and then the screen turns off, but the laptop is still on. When I press Caps Lock, the indicator light lights up. Also, after some time, I again hear "to use English as...". "even if the screen is off. No matter what I press, it does not wake up to the screen.

Note:

-The bottom of the laptop feels hot (maybe), but I do not hear the drive in motion.

I am trying to save my mbp because I can't get a new one for a few months. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!!!

P.S.: I only am not too computer savvy, please use everyday words words/non-tech, when possible, thank you!

Remove the SSD and install it in a closed Chamber.  Connect it to the MBP via USB.  It will start?

Ciao.

    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both. This traditional desktop Interface is almost
    identical to the interface of Windows 7. the biggest difference is that
    There is no Orb start clicking to bring up the start menu.

    But note that you can get the ORB start by using one of the many
    third-party programs, are free or very cheap (the classic interface
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.

    Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
    interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
    the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you may have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.
    I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.

    I can't address the issue with your games, except to say that
    whenever you move to a new version of the operating system, some of
    which is used to run on the former does not work on the new. And it's
    much more likely with utilities and games with companies

  • Dell Dimension 5150 do not start LED logo on 123 + progress bar is stuck at 5% no beeps

    My old Dell Dimension 5150 has sometimes suffered from crashes during startup for quite awhile, but it now appears permanent.

    The symptom is the logo dell appears, but the startup progress bar stops at 5%, diagnosis LED 1,2 & 3 are stable on, power light is green fixed, no beeps, no response to the keys.

    In the past disconnecting the cable for 5 minutes, which gives all the internal connectors a re-allocation of places, you try to start again seemed to do the trick, but no more.

  • iBooks automatically starts an audio book... How to stop? Help please - thx!

  • Plant the unresolved issues with extensive troubleshooting... Help, please!

    Hello community,

    I am still trying everything to solve these problems, be it related hardware, software... Or both.
    Here's an account a broad of disorders that I have known, and perhaps someone here who had similar problems can help out me!

    Basically, first will not stop the freezing or crashing after loading a broader project (project file is about 25 MB) and a small amount of minor adjustments to the timeline changes are made. Usually, I have to wait about 5 minutes until I can start even work because he is responsible for all media (it's pictures of a marriage of 3 days, i.e. footage DSLR, home videos, audio files, video elements such as the burns film, etc.). After about 5-10 minutes of reluctant working (I'm afraid it will crash if I work too fast) it done inevitably anyway. This problem did not exist during the Assembly edit or any other less extensive editing in the past. I upgraded to first CC 2014 three months after using the CS6 for about 2 years and more.

    • Try to help out myself I allocated 13 GB of ram for first and while I use it I have no other applications open. I cleaned the cache of media and has tried to reduce the size of the project by removing useless content that is not in use. Also, I put my insights to reproduce the 1/4 of the resolution and try to keep the media in my bins defined on the detailed (as opposed to thumbnails) view. I'm not sure if the rendering engine is set on using CUDA, because when I go to the project settings, the renderer is grayed out. I'm sure that my GPU can't use CUDA in CC (but I used to be able to use it in CS6 I think... strange). The GPU driver is updated and current.
    • I have uninstalled/reinstalled CC PP, imported from a sequence in a new project (to reduce the size of the project significantly to 6 MB). I cleaned my Mac HARD drive (more than 10% is free). My external HARD drive is a WD Passport Ultra 2 to USB 3.0 drive with 1.2 to work free. When I run a comparison test on the disc it tops out at close to 90 MB/s read/write. I use my MacBook monitor + an external 24 "running through the thunderbolt connection. Maybe if I run it with the single monitor only MacBook could help free up some space of graphics processing...?

    At this point, that I wonder what else he's doing... Basically, it seems to me that if the program crashes to cause effects that can not handle the GPU or something (transitions, film burns with blend modes, color correction, stabilizing of warp and little basis for audio cleanup)... I was pretty confident that my computer was more than capable of handling this type of workflow, but maybe I'm missing something...

    If you read this thank you very much and I hope you can suggest something!

    I tried everything I found on internet to make files open full screen and stay like that. Is there a permanent solution for this? I've been at Microsoft, vistax64.com, etc. including Alt space X - problem solved or BAD! Help, please. Thank you.

    Three options.

    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".

  • Black screen with blinking cursor! tried everything!

    OK, so this is going to sound familiar.

    I was on my computer when (it seems that windows update force rebooted my system) my computer rebooted in the middle of doing me stuff, got the windows stop screen.  When it restarts I got was a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The only options on the splash screen that works are the program installation, diagnosis and menu start. For some reason, hit F11 to restore the system does nothing and it will pass just to the black screen. Another strange note is that simply type the power button it will stop, I don't need to keep it.

    (1) I went into the bios and restored the default values.

    (2) I called they sent me a microsoft repair disc.

    (3) I tried the Startup Repair, which would have finished enough instantly and tell me that no problem has been detected and if I recently fixed a device, remove and restart. Everything is attached are the mouse/keyboard factory.
    (4) I've tried many system restore points and they all failed. nothing has worked and all generated the error: (0x800700b7)
    (5) I made this

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    c:

    Boot CD

    BCD attrib s h - r

    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    Bootrec /fixmbr

    Bootrec /fixboot

    When the pc still doesn't load, I put the repair back disc in and got an error message windows boot files where invalid and had the ability to repair and restart or cancel.  After trying blaze these and try several BCD I built always get the same flashing cursor.

    (6) I reloaded windows on a separate hard drive and scanned all viruses, checked the drive to see if there was even loaded windows (out of curiosity because nothing works)

    (7) so everything is saved, but I have 5 years of programming, I don't want to lose or reload due to the download time.

  • iMac grey screen, no easy fix yet...  Help, please!

    Hello

    My iMac froze everything by making his first Time Machine backup.  I force quit the machine (press and hold the power), and when it is restarted, it went straight to the gray screen - no apple, no cursor, nothing.  Every time when the computer reboots, the same phenomenon occurs.

    (End of 2011 iMac, most recent el Cap OS)

    I did some research and tried all of the recommended steps, but no luck yet

    (eg. all the steps for this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7408375),

    Inc., resets the security, Recovery Mode, target, MSC Mode and NVRAM Mode.  & also using original OS installation DVD

    The current boot drive is a secondary market of SSD.

    The iMac has a second bootable hard drive inside (original, but moved to different 'port' (the correct term?))

    I have a disk external drive bootable with SSD cloned

    and the original OS installation disc.

    I use the mouse & keyboard USB.

    I'm not able to get the machine at the start of one of the mentioned drives, nor since the installation of the OS DVD.  Or boot disk target.

    Advice for:

    • Get the SSD to start
    • Get the HD to boot
    • Get the DVD of the OS at startup
    • Get the iMac to start as a disk target
    • 2nd question: Time Machine is about 1/3 to do elsewhere.  I have this external hard drive connected to my MB, but when I try to open the backup, get the message "there are no ready application to open the document...". ».
    • How can I access the files in the Time Machine HD?

    OR,  Do I have to disassemble the machine at this point?

    • If so, remove the SSD & plug the HD in this port?
    • There is some data on the boot SSD that I would return if possible.
      • Best way to do it?
