Just did an upgrade to the latest version of OS X 10.7.4. Once restart, the MBP stops and a message of "You need to restart your computer. Hold down power..." Did all that, still same message. Did a safe mode start up, but same message. Saw something with regard to kernel panic. But didn't see of what to do or how to fix the problem.Â
What should I do? If it can't be fix, is there a way to start and restore from time machine? Because it stuck at the start up screen and nothing I can do. Â
I had a MBP(13-inch Mid 2012), and I upgraded my hard drive to a Sandisk Extrem II 256GB SSD by replacing the Optical Drive. But unfortunately, when I tried to start up, the following pics appeared, When I boot up the computer by pressing the power button, there were 3 unexpected things happened: the "Forbidden" icon showed, and a few seconds later, it changes to the "Apple" icon quickly and changes back to "Forbidden" immediately, this situation would repeat in about 10 minutes or more(up to 30 minutes or an hour, it depends). When the Apple icon showing with the loading indicator, after a long time waiting ,the system boot up successfully. the "Apple" icon came up, and the the loading indicator came also. what could I did is just waiting. the system boot up failed and an expected error occurred. something just like the situation One, but after the waiting, the Diagnostic model appeared or an common error known as "5-Country Languages". After I restart the mac , the alternative situation above repeated.
how to obtain a bigger memory for my imac so that I can upgrade to OSX LIon and then to icloud? My imac currently has 1 Gb memory and I need 2 Gb apparently. Apple can no longer supply a 2 Gb memory. I will need to knowe hwre to buy a suitable memory and how to change it.
I'm running a late 2008 Macbook Pro. I exhausted my efforts to clear up unneeded data on the internal drive and still found I needed more. So, I bought a Hitachi 500gb drive which others had purchased and used in their MBP. The drive installed fine and I was able to restore everything from a Time Machine backup so that the system booted up on the new drive as it would have before.
Trouble is, most applications no longer work. Safari, Mail, iCal, QuickSilver and Onyx I know for sure won't start up. I get this error message:
Quote:
Safari cannot be opened because of a problem... Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application...
I tried reinstalling a couple of apps but they all still delivered the same error message. Also, opening the Dashboard crashes Finder and the Dock.
Is there something I did wrong in upgrading the drive? Is there some way I can fix this without having to start everything over? Is there ANY way to transfer all of my data and settings and everything over to the new hard drive? Or will I be forced to do a fresh install of MacOS?
Also, FYI--Google Chrome seems to work fine. Thus my ability to post this question on the forum.
I have a Macbook pro, 15.4 inch 1.86 core duo. I tried to upgrade the memory from 1gb to 2 gb. When I turned it back on, all I got was a solid blue screen after start up.
I have an iMac with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2.4 GH2 Intel Core 2 Duo processor.I want to upgrade to Lion so that I can use iCloud to share documents with my iPad.Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first or can I upgrade directly to Lion?
I currently have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. It has 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo 2 & 8GB of DDR3 RAM. I want to upgrade to Lion, but I am worried that my Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS4 will not be compatiable with that version. Can anyone verified that this will work?
just recieved my refurbished macbook air (2011) 2 weeks ago.Does it qualify for free upgrade to mountain lion ? The website only talked about "qualifying new mac system set..."
I am currently running version 10.7.4 from what I read and what I was able to make out from my serial number I wont be able to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion as it says my imac is a late 2006 model.I am just curious if I am able to run Lion why Apple isnt supporting the older models that can? Seems odd to me and it is not in my budget to buy a new mac and my current one is running perfectly. I'm not sure how much I will miss out not having Mountain Lion.
I am reluctant to upgrade to Lion due to being quite happy with OS 10.6.8, but now am looking for extra backup and storage after 3 external hard drives dying. Question: can I access iCloud using 10.6.8. on my iMac? - don't have an ipad, as yet. Or an iPhone. What are the major changes between Lion and Snow Leopard, and how difficult would it be to get used to using it, as it sounds like it is catering for those with iPads and/or iPhones and the ways of interacting with those items.Â
I was about to buy Lion so I can start using the extra space I purchased on Iclouds but I noticed that Mountain Lion is coming later this summer.Can I wait and simply install Mountain Lion without ever getting Lion?
when mountain lion will release this year if I upgrade my Lion OS to new Apple's new Mac OS what will happen to recovery HD partition? They said my Lion OS will be gone and everything will be Mountain Lion. I bought this Macbook pro late 2011 and its running Lion OS with recovery HD.
My mac screen flashed then locked up so i held down the power button until is shut down now when i try to start it up the apple appers on the screen and under it the little round thing goes round for 5 minutes and nothing hapens then it just freezes after a few more minutes. Any suggestions on starting u the mac in a different mode i.e.holding down a keyboard key.
I am currently on Snow Leopard and debating whether to get Lion but with Mountain Lion out in summer, can i just directly upgrade from Snow Leopard or do I have to have this version of Lion in order to upgrade?
I have already paid for an upgrade to Lion on my MacBookAir and I now wish to upgrade my older MacBookPro to Lion.I understand I do not have to pay twice but I can't see an option on the download screen which recognises my past purchase.
And if so - does it matter - as it may be a pre-requisit for upgrading in the summer?I currently have snow leopard, but having recently added an iPad to the family - Lion appears to be a better fit.
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I installed the new EFI update for my MBA Mid 2011 (the software updater said it is recomended). The update went fine and restarted the mac afterwards.Â
Then while booting the apple logo turns to a grey forbidden sign and nothing happens from there. I turned the mac off and tried again. Same thing.Â
Then I booted the recovery partition and tried to repair my disk. It says that it can't repair the disk because it is corrupted.Â
I have to erase the disk. There is some unbackuped data on it and I can't get it out using a linux-live because my disk is encrypted.
Old Macbook Pro died yesterday. (details unimportant, was planning to replace soon anyway)New Macbook Pro will arrive tomorrow.I have an up-to-date Time Machine backup. Over the past four years, I filled up the old machine with all sorts of clutter, most of which I don't need or want. I do want to transfer my mailboxes in Mail, my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and a few specific subdirectories of my Documents folder. Is there an easy way to just get these few things, or am I better off using Setup Assistant to transfer everything, then pruning ruthlessly?
after bought external drive and back up all my macHD , did ask couple question with Apple IT person at Apple store about trying to format my hardisk on my Imac, and deleted some files and try to restart and turn out Imac didn't restart and all I get is black screen with flashing dash looks like I'm in terminal mode or something and my keyboard is not respond too.My Imac model is iMac 7.1, Intel Core Duo 2,4 Ghz also just update my leopard to Lion last year.
I get a spinning grey wheel that will not stop after I power up. I finally started up, by holding the Command and R keys down. This took me to the recovery area where I checked my HD out with Disk Utility. Everything checks out ok. Permissions,etc.
Are there any other keys I can hold down during startup to get to my login area. Otherwise, I may have to do a reinstall of Lion. I have so many other programs, files, etc. and my Time Machine backup disk is no good.OR, is there a way to do a "custom install" of Lion that will just put the Systm Files back on.I have a feeling this is related to a System-Library-Core file that I was having problems with before my current problem.
If all fails and I have to reinstall Lion, is there a way to get back all my Safari Bookmarks, iTunes files, Images, iCal events, etc. that are on my iPod Touch back onto my computer. I back up to iCloud, from my Macbook Pro and my iPod Touch.
Some Apps, (e.g. VLC Player, but others also) won't start if I open them regularly, they're just bouncing in my Dock until I kill them.
BUT, if I open the App as a folder (Rightclick, Show Package Contents) and find the executable (Contents/MacOS) and start it, it works just fine. Launching the shouldn't do much other than location this executable and running it.
I have a colleague running 10.3 from home and she is looking to me for help on upgrading. I'm not clear on how this is done. How many steps would be needed to get up to date? I dont think it's possible to simply upgrade to Lion from such an old version.Â
