No go sign while booting mac

Hello all!


Yesterday night, my MacBook Pro from 2013, running on Yosemite went into sleep mode. When I tried to enter my password, it didn't recognize it. ( i tried like 20 times). So I decided to reboot it.


After the reboot, the mac showed the login screen, I entered my password, and it started booting as usual. But this time, after a while, a no entry sign appeared on a grey screen.


i tried to go on OS X utilities by pushing cmd+r and diagnosied the disk, everything seemed ok at first . If I run the apple hardware check on reboot, it told me everything was fine too.


I read on some forums that i had to reinstall OS X. I went back to OS X utilities, and tried to reinstall OS X. After I unlock my hard drive with my password, it asks me where to install OS X. The only problem is that there are no options available...


I found that you can try and solve the problem while on single user mode, using fscm -fy, but as I press cmd s while booting I only have a glimpse of the terminal, as it disappears right away, and brings me back to the normal login screen.


I have no idea what is going on, I have called applecare multiple times, but nobody could explain me how I can resolve this.


Thanks a lot for your help!!

one question for you sir,


Are you wanting the mac to no lock when it go to sleep for a longer time or not at all?



or is there an issues where the login screen doesn't boot?




IF you wanting to remove or change the sleep lock out you can.


in settings just click on energy saver.


now that will only change the time it will take before you mac times out... not like if you close your mac and 10-15 mins. later open it again... i dont believe there is an option for that i couldn't find one through the user settings.
