Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Otherwise being I cannot remember if my MPB is under warranty or not, anyone have about round about figure what it'd cost if I need to bring it in the Genius Bar?īe sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive. If anyone understands what's happening here, much obliged. Oh, and yeah - I tried to start in Safe Mode by means of holding the Shift down during boot up, that didn't work either. In the details window it looks to be missing directories. Another disk labeled, "Macintosh HD" first I have to verify and then during repair disk it stats it can't be repaired. I did try Disk Utility to repair, for what's listed as "Apple HDD HTS541075A9E662 Media" everything appears to be fine by means of verify disk and repair disk.
#MAC OS UTILITIES SCREEN MAC OS#
I can't do a Reinstall OS X - shows 2 disks, EFI (not formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled) and Recovery HD (shows as "this disk is locked"). Unfortunately, I never did the Time Machine thing - so that's a no go. Upon start up, first there's a white screen with a forbidden sign, then the gray screen with the apple logo, and finally the Disc Utility screen. So I did an forced reboot (holding the power button down, etc). Then I deleted my trash bin - have a feeling this where I did wrong, for I didn't really look over what I was deleting. After start up my Safari was opened and so I closed it, then I was informed that iTunes needed to be updated, at first it said it couldn't be updated but it did. But that's not why I'm writing here today.Įarlier today I used my MBP for the first time in a couple months. First all my apple products and printer wouldn't sync correctl, then there was some sort of big issue with my apple ID that I was forced to change my ID since and as result things been a bit confusing since. All was fine until I updated to Maverick (Mountain Lion was what originally supplied), and things went down hill from there. As from what I remember it didn't come with any backup CDs or what have you. I have a MacBook Pro, non-Retina 15inch that I purchased about 2 years brand new from the US Navy base.
