Brand new Mac Book Pro

Purchased in Mexico's Department store Liverpool on June 20th 2012


Purchased Memory upgade to 8Gb, on june 27th, at Apple Store Memorial City, Houston

Upgraded memory from 4Gb to 8Gb on June 28th.

Tried to write on my external HD (previously written on a windows based PC) with no success.

Upon reccomendation from a Mac assistant, copied all my external HD contents into my Mac Hard drive.

Then formatted my external HD and copied back all my information to it.

deleted all the information from my MacBook Pro HD.

Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.


Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..

Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,

Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.

All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.

Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:


"Perform a Safe Boot

Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.

Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.

Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to

see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).

Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.


The following is the script that appears on the screen upon safe boot. and halt after the last line.
