Hi Everyone
I am having this problem since yesterday. I tried restarting but it got stuck at the apple screen and after a while shuts down itself.
Please help!
Thanks
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
The boot drive has malfunctioned, or you have some other hardware fault. What backups do you have?
I've tried the safe boot, didn't even boot up but shuts down itself. It shows there I/O error and that the volume could not be verified completely. What does that mean?
Also, I've tried Reset the NVRAM / PRAM, still the same.
:(((
Sadly my last backup was from October last year :(((
If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
