Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
When I start up my 15 inch Macbook pro, it gets to the apple logo screen with the spinning gear underneath and it just stays there and does not startup. I have let it sit that way for up to an hour and it juts stays on that screen. Please help!
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011)
I held Command+Shift+V at startup. It stalled at AppleLMUController - error. All I could find is that this might have something to do with the backlit keyboard. Any suggestions?
-Open macbook
-Then Close it by pressing power button
-Then Again open it and after hearing sound press cmd+shift+v
it works for me more than once!all the best
Very helpful. Appreciate your effort in posting all this knowledge and especially the links. I recently decided to upgrade my 2011 MBP HDD to a Sandisk Ultra 2 SSD. The cloning was done using SuperDuper and everything went very smoothly. Except for when I put the SSD inside the MBP the boot sequence is stuck on the grey screen with the Apple Logo and the rotating gear. Very frustrating. The laptop won't boot even if I plug the SSD through USB and pressed "Option" at startup. Clearly there's something not right during the "launchd" phase. Your articles might help so thank you again.
If you have any other words of wisdom for my situation kindly let me know as I'd appreciate any help I can get for this situation.
I'm have this same issue but I think I erased my start up and I can't get to go to utility options
This is what it tells me when I held down comm option V
