My sons 13" MBPro is tuck at start up has the spinning daisy.
I have tried to reinstall OS but it continually says there is an error and wont allow it to happen.
I believe it is running on lion- The installer wants to do Mavericks...could this be the issue?
can you tell me how to stop the spinning daisy at start up?
Not offhand, no.
Was the daisy spinning before you attempted the upgrade, and is that why you tried to update.
It was suggested this was the procedure in other posts of similar incidents- and then if you have read the previous discussions it is where I am right now!
Yes the daisy was spinning before I attempted the upgrade- it is what lead me to this point.
Have you attempted a safe start?
Restart, at the sound of the chime press and hold the shift key, when you see the progress bar you can release it. Safe starts take longer than normal, do not interrupt it.
Then what?
I'll want to know what happens, is there some kind of deadline here that I don't know about?
No no dead line yet
Then it's time you started answering rather than asking.
Have you tried a safe start yet.
I will be in a class until 9pm EST is all
seriously!?
You have to talk to me like that?! That is extremely unprofessional!
I ask questions to learn...
and so that I can anticipate what is to happen or should happen...so I can relay that...instead of one sentence at a time
to experience a Normal conversation.
and to ANSWER your question-- Nothing happens- the progress bar came up and the daisy wheel started spinning and spun for 10 Minutes!
After waiting I searched forums again and now I re-started insafe and held down shift-command-V and at the very end when it stopped showing me information on progress it reached
"BootCacheControl: Unable to to open / var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory" next line "pci pause: SDXC"
Where do I go from here??

You have asked for help, not a class in Macs. And in between that you haven't bothered to respond to my questions, frankly this is like pulling teeth.
So decide if you actually want my help, if you do then stop asking and start answering my questions. If you don't that is also fine.
Stop being ARROGANT and answer my question with the data given please!!
I asked for help - not anywhere is there any requests for teaching- You came to me as most of the experts here to offer assistance-
most people are willing to share their knowledge and its not an inconvenience to them-
We are not in a live chat room- and it takes time for responses to go back and forth-
NOW, ARE YOU GOING TO HELP OR NOT?????
I gave you data to work with-
13" MBPro stuck at Start up
