Turned on my MBP this morning, and the screen froze on start up. White screen with Apple logo, loading wheel spins indefinitely. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro Frozen on start up?
- Thread starter Dustu2
- Start date
I would try this first:
How to run FSCK
• Restart your Mac holding down "Command(the Apple key)+S" key to enter 'Single user mode'.
• Type "fsck -f", and hit return.
• Once complete type "reboot" and hit return to reboot you Mac back in to OS X as normal.
If there is anything that you think is wrong here, or you think I have missed any vital steps out, please post and let me know so that I can amend this.
