View 6 RepliesI am getting " No bootable device insert boot disk and press any key".
Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010)
I have a Macbook pro and when I turn on the computer the message: "NO bootable devices, insert a boot disk and press any key" appears. I click the button "alt" and I choose the option Macintosh HD and the computer works. But I can't do this procedure always. This problem started after install the Paragon software to save my files on the external hd. How can I fix that?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
Not only will holding Option while booting not work, but all of the other boot tricks (safe mode, single user mode, etc), will not work. I am at a loss. I also don't have an optical drive in this particular MBP. I have an SSD where it once was.

I am trying to insert a disk. When I put it in, it usually just nicely goes in. Now, there seems to be something blocking it as I push it in. There isn't anything in there that I know of. I've tried ejecting and even tried looking under disk utilities.
Info:
iMac
Suddenly I am unable to insert a DVD into the slot. It seems to be blocked.

This is my first post, I've been using macs for at least 3 years now and wouldn't class myself as clueless BUT I do have a question...
When I insert a hard drive or memory stick into my macbook, it always mounts on the desktop. That is quite useful but I'd also like it to pop up in finder, or with options to open the files on the drive (like windows does).
The last time I tried to insert a disk it would not go in, something (not a disk) was stopping it once it had traveled about half way in.
I then noticed that when waking from sleep or turning on, the normal noise was very different, cut short, and sounded like it was struggling against something.
I believe the mechanism of the drive has somehow failed. Does anyone have any solutions?
It is a iBook G4 1.33GHz with 1.25GB ram installed if that helps.
I set up a 32g partition for windows xp pro. Loaded the disk and formated the partition to FAT. Hold option at startup and load windows. Upon loading windows i get the following message "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive." I have tried leaving the xp disk in, I have tried taking it out before loading windows and putting it in afterwords, nothing works. I can not eject disk while in windows.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an older MBP (1.83 Intel Core Duo) When I push the power button, I hear a little electric noise, then a fizzle noise. It won't turn on. However, if I close it almost all the way and turn it upside down, it powers up fine. Once it's running, no issues. Any idea where to start with trying to correct this problem? I don't know what part could be making this happen. And yes, it has to be both upside down and almost totally closed.

I installed Windows 7 through Bootcamp and I got everything installed perfectly!
I partitioned my Mac's hard drive into 3 before the Windows installation:
-Mac OS
-Data For Windows
-System for Windows itself
It all worked fine and i could drag and drop anything into that Data Hard drive through Windows very easily. However, when I came back to my Mac OS and partitioned my Mac Hard Drive into 2 parts(Which makes 4 partition now) and tried booting back up to my Windows, it gave me that error. I then decided to re-partition it like before which was Mac, Data and Windows. Booted it back to Windows and it gives me the same error again. I have an attached Picture showing how my partitions look now. Does anyone know how to fix it? I think it's because what my Windows is booting from is the Data Hard Drive but not my Windows 7 Hard Drive with the OS on it. Is there a way to change it's place or to tell it which Hard Drive to boot from?
My 2.8MP early 2008 with one optical drive is having some random issues iwth it.

I took it to the Apple Store to find out that the Logic Board was broken. They took it and they mailed it back to me about 2-3 days later. Now in Mac or Windows mode, the camera is upside-down. Is there anything i can do?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo, I was using my UB MacBook earlier today. I had a CD in the superdrive. I was shutting down the computer, and all of a sudden, as the screen was going black, the disk in my computer came out half way and the superdrive made a noise. I quickly restarted my computer to see what went wrong. I tried putting the CD back in, it didn't work. You all know how the slot loading superdrives suck in CDs. I now slide the CD in, and it won't get sucked in. In fact, the whole CD won't even go in. A little bit of it still sticks out. So now I'm stuck with a dead superdrive wondering what to do to fix it.
