13" Macbook Pro (mid-2012) only starts in safe mode.

Question

13" Macbook Pro (mid-2012) only starts in safe mode.

My macbook running OS 10.11.4 recently shut itself down and wouldn't turn on after an electric fault at the club I was dj'ing. The next morning I unplugged the battery and plugged it back. When I turned on the PC it gave the Kernel panic and would only turn on in safe mode. I tried going to recovery mode (command + R) but that doesn't bring anything when I start up my computer.

What is going on here? how can i fix this? please help

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

Please launch the Console application in any one of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

In the Console window, select

DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports

(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar.

There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.

If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.

In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

When you post the report, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

If you have an account on Pastebin, please don't select Private from the Paste Exposure menu on the page, because then no one but you will be able to see it.

Problem solving is rarely linear and to find the correct solution is best done by following all possible avenues. That increases the chances of defining the issue at hand and then determining what course of action to take in order to correct the given problem. As the old adage goes, 'there is more than one way to skin a cat'.

Your MBP has had a kernel panic. Use these Apple instructions to log and post it:

I'm asking you not to post any diagnostic report that you may see in the Console window unless it's a panic report.

You may be dealing with a hardware fault.

Make a "Genius" a ppointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.

Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.

If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair

Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
