Last month my dad brought home a 2011 MacBook Pro that his work didn't want because the battery wouldn't charge. Plugged in, it worked for about a week, then it simply stopped booting. He said, if we could get it to work, we would keep it.
The following article documents my tale from the trenches in trying to bring a Mac to life.
Though I ultimately failed to bring it to working condition for reasons I will get into later, I hope this story and instructions can be of use to someone else out there trying to revive a Mac.
First things first: Check that the computer has power. Is the battery plugged in properly, or is it plugged into the wall properly, with all parts of the cable secure? It might sound obvious, but before you can move on to any of the other strategies on this list, you have to know the state of your Mac's power.
If you're lucky, you just found out that your Mac wasn't powered, and fixed the connection. It turns on, and you get to stop reading this article and do something more fun.
Not so lucky? Keep reading.
Power Cycle
I have to give credit to Victor Clausson from iFixit Answers for sharing this technique I have seen nowhere else, which managed to awaken my Mac when it showed no signs of life. At the time, my MacBook was not responding to the power button at all, and not charging, despite being plugged in and showing a glowing green light on the MagSafe power cable indicator.
This special power cycle Why Does Rebooting Your Computer Fix So Many Issues? Why Does Rebooting Your Computer Fix So Many Issues? "Have you tried rebooting?" It's technical advice that gets thrown around a lot, but there's a reason: it works. Not just for PCs, but a wide range of devices. We explain why. Read More takes about 20 seconds:
- Unplug the battery.
- Unplug the MagSafe power cable.
- Hold down the power button for about 10 seconds and continue to do that.
- While still holding the power button down, insert the MagSafe power cable and hold it for another 10 sec.
- Release the power button after those 10 sec and make a "normal" press as if you would normally turn on your computer.
When I tried that, the Mac woke up, showed the loading screen, and played the start-up chime. It gave me brief hope that everything would be okay, but my MacBook quit before it finished booting, suggesting other problems. If you're facing a similar situation where your Mac starts to turn on but runs into problems during boot-up, read on.
Reset Your SMC & PRAM
My next course of action, now that I could get the Mac to wake up, was to reset the SMC and PRAM How To Reset Your Mac's SMC & PRAM – And Why How To Reset Your Mac's SMC & PRAM – And Why Sometimes your Mac will act strange for no apparent reason, and if a restart doesn't work, sometimes you'll need to reset the SMC and PRAM. Read More .
Your Mac's SMC (System Management Controller) controls its lights, fans, displays, power, and more. That's why when my Macbook Pro didn't boot, the first thing I did after a power cycle was reset the SMC.
If you own a recent MacBook without a removable battery (like the MacBook Air or Retina MacBook Pro) the steps to reset your SMC are as follows:
- Shut down your MacBook.
- Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
- On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) shift+control+option keys and the power button at the same time.
- Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
- Press the power button as normal to turn on the computer.
On a portable Mac with a removable battery (like the older MacBook Pro), the instructions are as follows:
- Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
- Remove the battery.
- Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
- Release the power button.
- Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
- Press the power button to turn on the computer.
For instructions for older MacBooks without removable batteries (All editions of MacBook Air, and 2009 MacBooks and MacBook Pros), and the Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve, refer to Apple Support's System Management Controller reset instructions.
I reset the PRAM (parameter random-access memory) too while I was at it, though I don't think it directly affects power.
To reset the PRAM, turn on your Mac and immediately after you hear the start-up chime, hold down the command+option+p+r keys, and continue holding until the computer restarts a second time. More modern MacBooks store the information that PRAM used to in NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory), which is reset in the same way.
We covered the different ways to reset your SMC and PRAM How To Reset Your Mac's SMC & PRAM – And Why How To Reset Your Mac's SMC & PRAM – And Why Sometimes your Mac will act strange for no apparent reason, and if a restart doesn't work, sometimes you'll need to reset the SMC and PRAM. Read More depending on what kind of Mac you are using. They're all quick, taking less than a minute.
Run Apple Diagnostics/Hardware Test
One neat thing about owning a Mac (I'm usually a Windows user) is that Apple provides its own Hardware Test (called Apple Diagnostics from mid-2013 onwards). It runs in its own bare-bones operating system, without the need to have the main operating system working.
The test is usually already on the Mac, but if you updated your operating system or had to re-install your operating system for any reason, they might not be loaded yet. Here's where it gets more impressive: your Mac can actually connect to the Internet while the main operating system isn't working, and automatically, magically, download the Apple Diagnostics/Hardware Test. I was floored.
To access the Apple Diagnostics/Hardware Test:
- Press the Power button to start up your Mac.
- Hold option+d keys immediately after the Apple startup chime until you see a "Starting Internet Recovery" message. You may be asked to select your WiFi network.
- Give your Mac some time to download the tests.
- Finalise installation when the tool asks you to select your language.
Once the Apple Diagnostics/Hardware is set up, go to the Hardware Tests tab and click on the big Test button. Extended testing checks RAM (Random Access Memory), one of the essential elements of every computer What's Inside Your Computer: The Story Of Every Component You Need To Know What's Inside Your Computer: The Story Of Every Component You Need To Know Whether you're buying a new computer or building your own, you're going to be subjected to a lot of acronyms and random numbers. Read More , among other things. It took me 45 minutes, but it can take longer depending on how much RAM you have installed. That's why I recommend you run the standard test first, to save yourself some time.
Run Memtest
Unfortunately, Apple's Hardware Tests are often considered inadequate for diagnosing RAM problems completely. MacRumors' guide to Testing RAM recommends Memtest, a popular memory testing tool typically run from Terminal. There are free and paid options, and even a graphical user interface (GUI) version.
Run Memtest in Safe Mode, a version of your operating system that does some checks and prevents unnecessary software from running.
Starting Your Mac in Safe Mode
- Press the Power button to start up your Mac.
- Hold the shift key immediately after you hear the start-up chime.
- Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
If you discover a problem with your Mac's RAM and you are able to open it, you might be able to switch the faulty memory or simply remove it (in case not all of your RAM is bad).
Recovery Partition
OS X provides a suite of tools to recover your Mac's operating system called OS X Recovery. You can access Recovery Mode by holding down command+r immediately after you hear the start-up chime. After the Apple logo appears, you can release the keys and you will see a screen giving you options to:
- Restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup.
- Verify and repair connected drives using Disk Utility.
- Check your Internet connection or get help online using Safari.
- Install or re-install OS X How to Reinstall macOS for a Fast and Squeaky Clean Mac How to Reinstall macOS for a Fast and Squeaky Clean Mac Need to restore your Mac to factory settings? Here's how to install a fresh copy of macOS and erase everything. Read More .
We suggest you first use Disk Utility to verify that your start-up disk doesn't have problems (although repair will check for problems and fix any it finds, so that may be more efficient). If that doesn't help, try restoring from a recent Time Machine backup. As a last-resort, try a full re-install.

Read More or CD. That may keep you going for a while, though I have a feeling you'll want to get back to your regular operating system as soon as possible.
What You Should Know About Boot Errors
Unusual visual and auditory behaviour may be error code indicators. A common audio error code, for example, is three beeps in a row followed by a pause, repeating. That indicates that your RAM did not pass a data integrity check.
In the event that none of your efforts to revive your Mac come to fruition, pay attention to the symptoms and consider contacting an Apple Support person.
As for me, my quest to bring a Mac back to life ended when it became clear that it had a broken battery, bad RAM, and a bad hard drive. We felt it would be too expensive to replace all the parts for a Mac that was destined for disposal in the first place.
Did Your Mac Live or Die?
It would give me solace if you would comment below if you found my guidance helpful, dear Mac user – or, tell us your story of the death of your Mac. Did your indicator lights fail? Did you hear strange noises like 3 repeating beeps instead of the familiar start-up chime? Could you fix it yourself or was an "Apple Genius" able to help?
If you try anything else in your efforts to wake up your Mac, please let us know. Maybe you'll save someone else the pain of having to replace their shiny laptop too soon.
If nothing works quite right, your Mac is getting on in years, and you don't want to purchase replacement parts, you can always take it as a chance to learn how to recycle your old laptop Disposing Of An Old Laptop - What To Recycle, What To Keep Disposing Of An Old Laptop - What To Recycle, What To Keep Laptops are a treasure trove of parts that can live more than one life.

I am using a MacBook Air 2015 model. A month back it started giving me the problem of booting up. I saw your link and it helped me. Now again i am having problem of boot. Tried all the functions. MacBook stared but hangs, then again boot problem. Did all the things. But still same problem. Sometimes it turns on then hangs after 2 minutes and sometimes, screen shows flickering. I think its the time to take it to Apple Service Centre.
My macbook pro mid 2010 was okay the night before until I tried to switch it on the next morning. I discovered it wouldn't turn on even after many trials to get it to start. I left it for some time and came back to it but still had the same issue. So many thought ran through my mind as I couldn't afford this moment to change laptop, but a quick Google search brought me to your site and lo and behold the Shift+Control+Option and Power button simutaneous push restored it. Its working fine now and I appreciate that your site could help. Thank you so much.
This article was exactly what I was looking for. The power cycle did the charm for me.
YOu totally saved my Macbook Air from a lobotomy. Thank you. I did this:
"Verify and repair connected drives using Disk Utility."
Nope, just the logo and bbar that almost gets to the end. 2011 pro.
Mid-2010 MacBook suffered what seemed to be a too fast battery discharge on normal usage. Changed battery, new one appeared to have low capacity value. Changed for another new battery, seemed to have greater capacity (according to System Parameters software) and much greater discharge time. Went through Battery Calibration process. All seemed well. Installed remaining battery screws and back cover. Tried to start up; nothing. No light, no fans, nothing. Removed screws until the last known working conditions were duplicated; no change. Went through all processes suggested in above article, still nothing. Battery voltage at first 9-pin motherboard connector is 12.4 VDC. Anyone have any suggestions?
It did not resuscitate. Now I am looking for a backup/Time Machine copy inhales that will work. Thanks for the tips. By accessing recovery mode, I can at least tell that the battery is at 96%. Memory is fine. The SSD is fine. But my Macintosh HD partition (the whole drive) cannot be repaired, evidently. I am not sure what the problem could be.
My mid 2012 MacBook pro will start and boot up but only after about 5-10 minutes of holding and releasing the power button. It works fine after it finally starts. It gets power just fine and I can see the power light come on everytime I hold and release the power button. I have no idea what to do. Please help!
My MacBook Pro was brought to life again. After it tried rebooting after an update, it wouldn't turn on again. Just a very short "bssshhhhrrrttttffffrrrpppp" (the sound it makes at boot up, like it's about to throw up) and the front indicator went out again.
Used the CMD+Option+p+r trick and we're alive again.
My Mac Pro worked until I updated the os to high Sierra. Don't believe that is the problem. The Mac kept displaying something to do wth ICloud. (I can't remember what about in particular) . I didn't want to attend to that at the time so kept trying to get out of the iCloud screen. It was difficult but I managed to remove it but now my Mac won't open. When it is switched on the screen awakens, the Apple logo appears, the progress bar starts, very very very slowly proceeds but that is as far as we get. No further. HELP!
Hello friend, running into a similar issue where it won't reboot. You might consider reinstalling the operating system. Hold the I/O button down to turn off, wait 30 seconds, push and hold the alt button while turning back on. That should provide a boot up menu either from your computer HD or another HD that you use as a backup. Options should include restoring a prior backup or reinstalling the operating system. Some of these options may delete personal files so use at your own risk.
Thank you so much for your website! Awesome stuff! Your instructions were really instructive and clear. Just by following your steps, I managed to get my crashed macbook back to health very fast (well, 3 hours, but that is faster than sending it to the Apple workshop). Thank you so much!
I turn off myMacBook Pro and when I turn back on, I get the apple with black line inching its way to the end. Gets to the end and does nothing. I ran the hardware diagnostics and it said No Problem found.
Now what?
This is same problem as mine
Reset the SMC and the PRAM as you suggested above on my daughters 'dead for a year' 2011 macbook pro and it is currently running and happily backing up its files. We shall see how stable it is before jumping for joy! Thankyou
Using a MacBook 2015-I know only 2 yrs old! Last week it shut off while I was using it. Thought a power glitch, restarted but it was stuck in a loop. Moments after showing the Apple ID screen, it shut off, sounded the chime and over and over it went. Tried all the suggestions you recommended. Files all said ok, only problem it said was an issue with the camera. Yea it booted up and I saved data to a jump drive. Worked fine for several days then it shut off again. Now none of the above have an effect - just chime and loop. Apple Genius say 2 options-pay a third party $500 to repair or have them try to wipe it for free. Took it to India this summer had a few power glitches there, destroyed a kindle fire and curling iron, scared something happened to my Mac. It has had a few problems since I got back, had to reinstall Office. Any help, please.?
Thank you so much for this article. I have never heard of you or this website, but a quick Google search on my phone led me here. I had physically shut my laptop while installing the new update. This saved me valuable hours and a trip to the apple store. I am typing this review on my laptop now because of you. Again, thank you a bunch.
Great article. My computer is partitioned into two drives (Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP). Thanks to this article I was able to open recovery partition. My main drive (macintosh) was grey and I could not run first aid on it. It also wasn't listed as a location to reinstall OS. So I ended up installing MAC OS on the BOOTCAMP drive and was able to migrate files from the Macintosh drive. I am backing up right now just in case this happens again! Macbook pro 15" retina, purchased in fall of 2013 for anyone interested.
Thank you so much. This was really helpful & I got my mac up and running again!!!
Hi thank you for an excellent article. Nice to see a Vancouver ite so active. I live in Australia but I went to UBC.
My problem is with a Mac desk top but the suggestions you make apply to the top as well.
I found the s that came with the computer . I put in the Hardware disk and sure enough, miraculously, after pressing ''D key up came the Hardware Test screen.I pushed the Test box button and left the computer to do its test. After 4 hours the progress bar was within a centimeter of the end. But there it stayed even afetr leaving it overnight.
What to do now?
Any ideas would be most appreciated.

A friend's 15" MBP (non-removeable battery)would only flash led for a second and run fans for a second. Numerous SMC resets were fruitless but Power Cycle brought it back to life. Thanks much. You made me look smrt.
Hi, thank you for posting this. Older MBP. I was getting anxious as I tried everything until I got towards the bottom of the list. The recovery partition worked! I used a recent time machine backup. I fixed myself although only with the guidance of your article. Thank you for sharing this.
Not sure which one worked but my mac is back- thanks for a great article - best I read on the web
I thought I tried everything to get mine to turn on and found this article and did the holding down the power button 10 seconds twice and then the third time plugged the power cord in and pressed the power button and it finally booted up! Thank you for the trick!!
My MacBook Air booted after following a few steps! Thank you!
I thought my MacBook Pro was going to be a doorstop!
but I used the :
Unplug the battery.
Unplug the MagSafe power cable.
Hold down the power button for about 10 seconds and continue to do that.
While still holding the power button down, insert the MagSafe power cable and hold it for another 10 sec.
Release the power button after those 10 sec and make a "normal" press as if you would normally turn on your computer.
And it started right up. I thought that was a crazy thing to do and how did anyone ever discover that it worked??? But it sur did the job on this laptop... thanks again....
My MacBook Pro 2011 went black/ switched off because it over heated on my desk, thanks to the African sun, shining on it. I managed to switched it on, where my user login logo appeared, but then a loading bar would appear and just freeze.
Then I found your link, which made my day! THANK YoU for sharing & for giving simple to follow instructions! Happy Mac again
Thank you!! Resetting the SMC & PRAM got my computer to finish booting up AND it's running better than it has in months
Power cycle worked for me. Ace!
Its true
This helped me so much!!! You are a genius thank you!! I owe you my life.
Thank you for posting this:
- My problem started this am with a very slow 2010 IMAC that has 16 RAM , and a time machine attached;
- Several warm and cold reboots brought the system totally to its knees, and then it stopped rebooting half-way through the process;
- option D during reboot brought me to an error screen (3403D, maybe?) - no progress there;
- your command-R instruction did bring me to the restore menu: I chose a time machine backup, which is now underway...we will see.
Hi, my MacBook Pro 9.2 doesn't want to start up.
I updated it to macOS Sierra yesterday night and left it be, when I opened it the next day it wouldn't continue starting up. Please help. I can send you the picture of what it's showing me now. Been trying several tips but nothing is working.
So this article was written assuming that resetting the SMC or PRAM was a success and we were able to start the computer. (Remember the reason you wrote this article, and why I wasted my time reading it, was because my computer wasn't starting up. At all! So, what can I do if resetting the SMC or PRAM was not successful and my computer still didn't start up for me to follow your next steps?
i just bought mac book pro few days ago, and today it failed to boot. finally after pressing shift+control+option keys twice it finally woke up, almost gave me a heart attack.
I have a Mac Pro (2013) running OSX 10.11.6 I recently swapped the drive for a 1GB and have had problems ever since. I reinstalled the OS as a clean install over the top of an install from Time machine. Problem is it won't wake properly from sleep. Nor will it boot properly unless I reset PRAM every time after disconnecting the display connected to HDMI. Sometimes I get the log in screen - where password is required - and having input the password the same screen the appears again, When I input password for the second time it then lets me in and generally gives me the pages left open when put into sleep mode. It's so frustrating and bizzare behaviour. Disk utility tells me there is nothing wrong ..... Any thoughts welcome
I did the power cycle tip too and it worked. Mine is a vintage one already. 2008 MacBook Pro 15". I used to leave it on Sleep mode most of the time while connected on the charger. I'm not sure if that was the reason why the second I open it, it won't boot successfully. I'm worried about the files I just transferred from my phone but thankfully it opened so I'll go ahead and retrieve them back for safety. Thanks again!
Thank you for the power cycle tip! Brilliant?
I followed the power cycle reboot steps and got my mac to give me signs of life and then when it died in the middle of boot I restarted the process and plugged the battery in the middle because I only have a 60w power supply and needed an 85w. I used the battery as a wattage boost in the middle and got my computer back up and running.
what if he dont respond on comand buttons ? he just show white after logo, or blue
Thanks for the guidance. My Mac Pro late 2011, non removable battery behaves strangely. It does not switch on at all. Battery shows fully charged when I check by small side switch. After connecting adapter, no green/orange light in connector. On pressing main on/off button nothing happens. On pressing shift+control+option, adaptor connector shows green light. Now, If I remove adapter connector, Mac starts up. But no chime. Before it completes booting it shuts down. Restarts on its own after sometime. this happens a couple of times, then works normally till you shut down. On restarting same thing is repeated. on restarting if I try running Hardware diagnostic test command+D does not have any effect and Mac starts as normal. Any suggestions please...
Black screen, L-type chord shows a charge going on (orange light), fan whirring. No other signs of life. No start up chime, no matter how many times I hard power down and restart. It's a 2009 MacBook pro with a non removable battery.
I'm having the same problem, but with a retina MacBook Pro. Someone help please
Hi Fennelly. I have the same issues right now. Did you manage to bring back your computer back too life?
Holy Bologna!!! I was convinced my MacBook Pro was toast. The special Poeer cycle seemed...odd; if not a tad dangerous to be 100% honest. I was ASTONISHED to see the screen boot up again. THANK YOU sooo much!!
Hi. Compliments on the well structured and informative guide!
Started using a Macbook Pro Md101 for a week or so now, when it just turned off.
At the istore they performed a SMC and run a diagnostic check - proclaiming all is fine.
A day after it happened again.
The SMC as I understand from above isn't working when I try it either.
Any help/ideas please?
Thank you kindly
Fantastic guide, I reset the PRAM and I was then able to format the HD and re-install the OS. Great guide, I have no Mac experience and was able to repair my son's Mac using your guide.
in all cases i get the folder with questionmark could anyone help ?
nothing in this step-by-step tutorial worked.... it always comes down to a grey folder with a ? flashing, no window pops up when trying the command+r or all the other commands.... im hopeless...
After hours of trying everybody else's suggestions I fixed me problems with your pointers!!! It took many layers of fixes but eventually sorted out my MacBook. I luv u ?????? Thanks
You are awesome! I reset the PRAM and it booted up quickly. Worked like a charm. You are the best. Thank you.
The first solution worked for me!! The fan seems to be a lot louder.. But my MacBook is up and running. Thanx!!
Thanks so much, Jessica and to Victor Clausson for the "special power cycle" tip. It worked and I was able to then reset my SMC & PRAM using your clear step by step instructions.
a-HA! Thanks Jessica!
I have had a really unreliable MacBook Pro on my hands since installing El Capitan.
But even after all the El Cap troubleshooting, I've still been stuck!
Then, a little comment from you (and I was digging into RAM at the same time, but getting no love): It's the memory sticks. 16gb of Crucial.
The three beeps and a pause was the clue.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Mark Alan E
I thought you were nuts. Unplug the power and hold down the button? Reattach the power and keep holding the button down? What was that possibly going to accomplish? But . . . IT WORKED! Thanks!
Oopsi Of course I didn't back up my files!! Hope it goes well and nothing is lost
Thanks for awesome detailed re-program BUT I tried all of above…Battery not removable>>Power button won't "Turn On" + MagSafe Charger not charging????????
Have appt @ Apple Store in 1hr!!
Been having battery problems within my Apple Care but store refused to do anything; kept doing diagnostic, all extras……???????? Of c course, "All Hells Break-Loose after Warranty is up"
My command+R not work... Now come?
Well, I accidentally deleted my HFS+ partition when playing around with GPARTED... and now the Macbook doesn't see the Mac OSX Install on boot up. I didn't remove my partition with the OSX install - I just can't access it! I don't know what to do.
i had a problem with my macbook pro A1286 keyboard. so i installed a new one. it started out fine but the back light was not there. after 15 minutes mac gave very loud beep and crashing screen. later it wont turn on. I have replaced the old keyboard thinking it might be problem with the new one. but its still dead. the mag safe seems to work well and battery is working. when pressed the power button i can hear the hard drive spinning for seconds and gives a chime from the speaker near the hard drive. can anyone tell me what could be the problem. thank you
My macbook pro is still dead. I have tried everything. :'(
Power Cycle - This worked for me when my Macbook Pro (2013) turned on beeped but stopped loading with < than 1/2 of the bar showing loading completion.
Sounds like mine and none of these steps even showed anything registering at all.
Hi, I'm happy all other users solved their problems with Mac.. But, My problem seems a bit complected.. only NVRAM steps work normally.. But still get White Screen after chime Sound... Non of the startup combinations or shutdown work... Any suggestion would be great... Thank you..
Three days ago, I plugged the Macbook (early 2012) into the socket to charge. The next day when I turned it on - nothing happened. No chime, no screen, nothing. Took it to Mac Genius which was a waste of time, took it to an Apple approved repair shop, they said the keyboard was clearly full of water (impossible), had a technician visit the house and test, doing all the magic tricks you can do to wake up a mac, nothing worked - everyone said it's the logic board. I have had this Macbook (purchased new) only 2.5 years, it was out of warranty and I wasn't about to spend 750 Euro to replacee the logic board! It didn't make sense that this essential and most expensive part of the MBP would die so soon. I had suspected the battery as responsible for some time for other issues (erratic track pad for example). So I watched a tutorial on how to remove the battery (the one you should NEVER remove according to everyone). Presto! easily done and when I plugged in the Macbook it came right back on and all the documents I had been working on 3 days before, showed up too. I backed up the computer, turned it off - no problem rebooting at all. And in fact the computer is working much faster now. I will have it totally checked out and replace the battery (38 euros). Hope this helps people with similar issues!
Thanks for your sharing, I had have same issue with you. I followed your steps. And ahaa!! my MacBook can turn on again.
That is so awesome!! Its always Battery Issues with Apple Products. I bought out iPhone 5 when it came out, spend $800 CDN and within 3 months battery problems. I gave up!! Recently bought iPod Touch battery life drains constantly + Wi-Fi doesn't work! Constantly going to Apple Store is annoying especially talking to Genius staff is useless. I have 2011 MacBook pro and My Sony laptop I bought in Hong Kong lasted me 10 yrs than battery gave out.
Thanks so much! I did every step through the PRAM reset, which is when my MacBook Air came back to life. I'm grateful for your help!
Thanks a lot!!! I was so worried but your guide relieved me cuz my Mac booted after the PRAM reset :) :) Thanks again
Suddenly Macbook Pro bought in 2013 would only turn on , and run for about 2 minutes, then shiut down. This happened in Safe Mode, fsck, Recovery mode, resting RAM, SMC, everything. But following your "run Apple Diagnostic/Hardware Test" the machine restarted and booted up perfectly as before! Just running that Test did something that all the other processes could not. I wish you very well and great success.
Hey! I've got a 27" iMac from 2010. A little while ago it wouldn't boot anymore. I heard the "Wall-E" sound, it showed a grey background, the apple logo and a bar loading. At about 50% of the bar loading it stopped and just did nothing else. So I was stuck. A coworker suggested re-installing OSX from a USB stick. He provided me with a stick with the OS. I started the computer with the USB drive plugged in, and held down the option button. This shows the option to boot from the USB drive. When I selected that, I got back to a grey background with an apple logo and a bar loading. It got hanging again. I tried the memtest option; restarting with option+d. I did the extended test. It found nothing. Out of desperation I tried starting my computer once more with the USB. Now I did get into Disk Utility. I was able to clear the HD and install the new OS.
Now I'm wondering if I could have just started the computer after the test, without re-installing the OS. Oh well, it's an old computer, I only use it for Netflix nowadays. Thanks for the tips, they were golden!
Had to log in and post that the 10 second with unplugged, then while holding do another 10 seconds, fixed my issue. My Mac hadn't been turned on in probably at least a year and this got it to boot! Thank you!
Holy crap! Power cycle worked! PTL!
No chime. I've tried a variety of fixes suggested here and in other places with no luck. Machine starts to boot and goes to a black screen with cursor showing after the progress bar is about halfway. I've tried various key combinations and can't get the chime so most key combinations don't work.
I get a "progress bar" that stops about 1/2 way across, so OS X utilities won't load. Help button says hard disk needs replacing?
I had the same problem, running extensive memory tests on my computer solved it for me, as you can see in my comment.
Thank you it helped me a lot and the trick with the power cycle worked for me.
update on my comment below. i was looking at this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4337712?start=0&tstart=0 and someone suggested draining the battery, i had tried everything else so.... the further i read in the comments i was discouraged bc/ people said unplugging the battery had worked for them and saved them the time of draining the battery but i had unplugged my battery 20 times trying different solutions but i still let it drain and then i plugged in the computer and happiness. hope this helps someone if everything above doesn't work for them.
macbook pro 17in. early 2011. computer froze, did a hard shutdown by holding down power key. tried to restart, fans turn on, indicator light on front lights up, check the charge on the side and it says it is fully charged but it doesn't boot, no chimes, keyboard, power button and apple on front don't light up and the screen stays black. have tried everything 10 times. everything here and then some. any other ideas?
let the battery die and then plug in power. happiness.
I switch off my macbook pro before going on holiday for a couple of days. Came back wanting to catch up with work and would not start at all, with battery indicator on charger a very dim green. Have searched the net for every possible solution but nothing is working! Might my macbook be really dead! have lots of info stored on it! :((
Thank you! The power cycle tip did the trick! I was starting to get worried after I worked through the apple troubleshooting guide without results...
Thanks for the article. I just bought an old Mac book pro 17" 2.4 ghz off craigslist for $300. It worked when the guy showed it to me and I messed around on it for about an hour or two later that night. Then I plugged it in and ... Nada. Battery showed full green light on cord was on... But nothing no beep no fan no screen.
I was about to find out how cool it would be to run over it in my truck and make a video of how I will never buy Apple again( 1st time apple user )
And your article got me to try the ole reset thing... well that didn't actually work. BUT, WHAT DID WORK WAS the following.
I noticed while I was disconnecting and reconnecting the bAttery for the hundredth time, while leaving the power cord plugged in I heard the fans click on for a sec...while the battery wasn't quite pushed in to place yet..puzzled because I was in the process of taking the battery Out when this happened. I noticed after trying a few more times to duplicate my accidental discovery and found that I was pushing my thumb into the bottom case of the laptop, just outside to the lower left corner of where the battery fits in my model A1229 for those of you lucky enough to have this beauty of a relic. And BAMM fans start up...processors running...beep ....YESSSSSSS,,,, SHE'S ALIVE !!! Don't really know what short or flaw or what not that I discovered but she's still working well, and my truck tires shall never meet my laptop now.
Hi, My G5 turned off and wouldn't start again (after I plugged in an old internal HD from a physically broken G5 via SATA-usb to recover some files). I did a Recovery mode as explained above and tried to do a restore from Time Machine back-up, but the back-up disc didn't appear. In Disk Utility it did appear, so I did a copy of the backup disk onto my internal HD, which was probably a bad idea, the computer still wouldn't boot.
I then tried to do an OS X installation via internet, but the internal HD appears as "locked". I also made an external usb installation media (with DiskMaker) on another computer, but when selecting"Install OS X" from the usb and selecting the internal HD for the installation, I now get the message "This disk is used for Time Machine backups" - apparently because it is indeed a copy of my backup disk!
So this seems quite locked indeed.
Does anyone have a solution? Is it possible to unlock the internal HD somehow, e.g. in Disk Utility?
nice,just fixed 2 mac book pro's with your post info ...thanks
i bought old macbook pro early 2011 but it when start greybackgroundcolor apple appear????
Thanks so much!! Resetting the PRAM did the trick. I was having constant power up issues with my 2009 MacBook Pro that I bought a new battery, installed more RAM, etc. and these did not fix the problem. I was about to give it away and buy a new Mac until I came across your article. I now have a great working laptop again. Thank you!!
August 2010 - 15" MacBook Pro
What happened:
Just clicked and turned off.
1) Mag Adapter Shows Green when plugged in
2) pressing the small button on the left side shows full battery charge
1) Power Cycle - No Luck
2) SMC Reset - No Luck
No signs of life at all...
Same problem here @Mark, did you get it to work ?
17" Macbook Pro Core2Duo 2.5Ghz (February 2009) good unit, but overheated and no longer completes a boot. Work in progress.
I have a Macbook Pro 13" (mid2009) with a 256gb HD. I changed the HD with a new SSD (Samsung Evo830) with the same size. I then made a 1 on 1 copy of my old HD onto the SSD, it works for a while andeven I can shut it down, I can reboot it, put it in hibernation and standby but for a unknown reason after weeks, if I reboot it or shut it down it won't boot up again. I even can't fresh install OSX on that just 1 on 1 copy of my old HD works. I tested with another HD and I just can install a fresh OSX. I thought about compatibility of the SSD but if not compatible it won't works at all. Does anyone have a idea?
Hi EL.MO,
Sorry I'm not familiar with this sort of issue. Have you tried contacting Apple Support?
Good luck,
Thanks Jessica. No I didn't contact apple support. I know their answer "we don't support Third Party SSD!!" but I think I found the problem. When I activate Trim(with TrimEnabler) on my SSD it doesn't want to boot after time. Yesterday again same problem.
But thanks for the post and information.
Trim Enabler has a known Issue since Yosemite where you'd have to disable the check for a kexts checksum (performed by Yosemite to check for non-Apple kexts).
You will find it right on their site.
I'm dealing with an older Macbook Pro, but the information is still valuable for anyone with Macbook problems. Thanks for the post.
Thanks Scot! I aim to include information that would be useful to people even if they aren't dealing with the exact model I am.
How old is your Macbook Pro?

Mark O'Connor
A product of America's rich aural folk tradition as well as classical music, Mark O'Connor's creative journey began at the feet of a pair of musical giants. The first was the folk fiddler and innovator who created the modern era of American fiddling. Benny Thomasson; the second, French jazz violinist, considered one of the greatest improvisers in the history of the violin, Stephane Grappelli. Along the way, between these marvelous musical extremes. Mark O'Connor absorbed knowledge and influence from the multitude of musical styles and genres he studied. Now, at age 49, he has melded and shaped these influences into a new American Classical music, and a vision of entirely American school of string playing. As The Los Angeles Times recently noted, he has "crossed over so many boundaries, that is style is purely personal.
O'Connor's first recording for the Sony Classical record label, "Appalachia Waltz', was a collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer. The works Mr. O'Connor composed for the disc, including its title track, gained him worldwide recognition as a leading proponent of a new American musical idiom. The tremendously successful follow-up release, 'Appalahian Journey', received a Grammy Award in February 2001.
With more than 200 performances, his first full length orchestral score "Fiddle Concerto" has become the most-performed modern violin concerto composed in the last 40 years. It was recorded for the Warner Bros label in 1995. Mr. O'Connor's 2nd concerto "Fanfare for the Volunteer" was recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Steven Mercurio, released by Sony Classical in October 1999. The Neward Star Ledger notes: "As a composer, he understands the power of a thematic transfiguration and development throughout a 40-minute work." Mark O'Connor's most recent recording, 'Jam Session', offers "dazzling" (Wall Street Journal) live acoustic recordings that combine bluegrass and gypsy jazz.
Augustana Orchestra
The Augustana Orchestra is a student ensemble of approximately sixty musicians. Their repertoire consists of major works and overtures, as well as traditional, contemporary, and popular literature for the orchestra. Talented music majors and non-majors alike play an active role in the orchestra program while pursuing music as a major or in other academic disciplines. The orchestra is often featured in Recital Hour, Chapel Services, and to promote interest in Augustana's music program by playing with high school orchestras throughout the region. In October of 2011, the Orchestra partnered with legendary rock band KANSAS as part of the band's 2011 Collegiate Symphony Tour to raise money for music tour programs. This sold out event took place in the Mary Sommervold Hall at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. Art Works.

We're a little past the middle of the season now and things picked up greatly with "Cold Grey Light of Dawn." Yes all the silly sides stories were still in play, but this episode felt the most focused of this summer's crop as King Bill decided to lock down all of his subjects in silver after Marnie, possessed by the ancient Spanish witch Antonia, escaped. It seems as though Bill might have thought to put in a call to Nan or try and put some plan into motion to try and track Antonia down while he, Jessica and the rest of his cabinet were all weakened by silver chains, but I'm going to let that slide for now and just chalk it up to him being in a bit of a panic. Still, some of his human soldiers could have just, at least, attempted to head over to the shop that Marnie and the witches worked out of. Because, as it turned out, the coven didn't even bother trying to find a new headquarters.
And as much as I'm not totally into the long, heartfelt Sookie/Eric conversations, I do think that True Blood actually works best when it slows down a bit and tries to humanize the characters and familiarize the situations. Like last week with Jason and Jessica in the woods. This week, Bill and Jessica had a great moment while they were lying next to each other that I enjoyed because we haven't seen that many moments where Bill has truly tried to relate wisdom to Jessica as her maker. Well, moments where she was more mature and receptive to his advice anyways.
And I loved how Bill actually understood why Antonia was doing what she was doing (something I've written about in my reviews more than a few times). "Answering killing with killing is what led us to this," he admitted. "She was driven to this by the acts of vampires." I was just nice to have Bill, who seems to be the most level-headed of the leads these days, see this whole thing as an act of, possibly justified, reprisal. Yes, he's still the "self-loathing" vamp of the bunch, but hearing lines like "I've lived for 175 years and I've accomplished so little good" does shed a little more insight into his non-existent soul.
Meanwhile, Lafayette finds out that he's a medium and that he let in the healing spirit of Jesus' uncle, Pam undergoes a treacherous course of therapy to try and restore her beauty (which doesn't seem so far off the way that actual human ladies try to defy age) and Sam finds out that Tommy slept with Luna while disguised as him. Again, Sam has every right to be mad, but Tommy does generally seem sorry about what he did that it would be a shame to see them go back to being mortal enemies. But, as you well know, this show is filled with "screw ups" and it's hard to not get frustrated when they pull off one bonehead move after another. Tara winds up tearfully kicking her MMA girlfriend out of town after surviving Pam's attack and it actually makes sense to have her align with Antonia. "I can avenge our torment," Antonia promises. Hell of an offer for someone who's been as tormented as Tara over the past three seasons. And still, since I don't feel like Antonia is a true antagonist, we're able to still be able to think of Tara as a protagonist.
Eric and Sookie had some low-key pillow talk, after boning out in the woods and then, you know, boning back in the foyer. They actually talked about what things will be like once Eric regains his memories. "I don't want to remember," Eric laments. "I'm perfectly happy as I am with you." It was sweet stuff, but he still seems like such a non-entity that I find it hard to buy Sookie falling so hard for him. This episode felt like a nice payoff, even if it might be a little bit early for such a big attack on the vamps. Already, by episode seven, this season has actually led to interesting things whereas Season 3 had already fallen off course. My concern here is that something this resolute happening this early might mean that the rest of the season could meander off into stories about fairies, wolves and panthers. And no, none of us think that Jessica is actually going to die. I happen to think that this show could benefit from killing off a handful of its regulars, but kicking things off by killing off a character that people actually like is not the way to go.
I also wish we could have seen a few more vampires walk out into the sun, but given that the one we did watch was Maxine Fortenberry's neighbor was pretty great.

The International Telecommunications Union remained deadlocked Thursday on an Arab resolution to expel Israel - a move that would lead to a US withdrawal from the union.
After a 48-hour delay, further discussion was scheduled Thursday, and delegates predicted heated debate between supporters of a European compromise and the 19 Arab and African backers of expulsion.
At the United Nations, Monitor correspondent Louis Wiznitzer reports that Arab countries ended their efforts to expel Israel from the General Assembly. Privately, almost all Arab representatives were against the expulsion - because it could undermine current Arab efforts to settle the Palestinian question and because it could wreck the UN (due to the US threat to walk out of the Assembly and suspend its annual UN contributions).

kittens, i usually blog about my favorite award show fashions the day after; however, this year, i thought i'd give a little nod to some of my favorite production designers. the films featured above were not all nominated in the "best art direction" category, but here at WHORANGE, they would get my vote.
what made me love these films? perhaps it is the use of iconic interiors like neutra's lovell health house as production designer shane valentino did in "beginners." or maybe it's the transportive achievement of recreating old hollywood to perfection as in "hugo" or "the artist."
as for "tree of life," the entire film is a visual binge-fest. i can't vouch that you'll fall in love with it, but i can guarantee you'll go on a cinematic acid trip and you'll come down in a lovely mid-century home occupied by a less that warm-and-fuzzy brad pitt.
i truly love looking at film from a production design point-of-view, because i have worked in the art department on feature films before and understand the focus and dedication that goes into each and every set, prop, costume, and carefully placed piece of decor.
also, i want to give a special hug to my production designer hero/boss, howard cummings, whom i worked for on "contagion." i chose not to include the film in this post because the stills are very, uh...disturbing and not super purty, but it's an amazing looking film and he's brilliant.

EXCLUSIVE-Alabama county devises road map for debt crisis
* Jefferson County weighed down by $3.2 billion debt
* County receiver to present financial scenarios on debt
* Months of secret talks with creditors likely
ATLANTA, March 7 - For years, Alabama's Jefferson County squirmed over its image as the bad boy of U.S. municipal finance. Now the county says it finally has a plan to put its fiscal house in order.
This involves convincing creditors including JP Morgan Chase that the plan has a chance of success and can be used as leverage as the county seeks to refinance its $3.2 billion debt, county officials said.
In doing so, Jefferson County hopes it can point a way forward for other deeply indebted U.S. municipalities such as Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Bell, California.
"The same problems that we have experienced in Jefferson County are coming to the municipal market nationwide and we are just kind of at the forefront," said Jimmie Stephens, finance commissioner in the county's five-person government.
"How we solve it and how creative we are is going to be a road map for others to follow," Stephens said in an interview.
The turnaround strategy includes a series of financial audits, management improvements and spending cuts.
When bond insurers downgraded Jefferson County's debt in 2008, causing it to mushroom, the county swiftly became a focus of risk for the multi-trillion-dollar municipal bond market.
Since then, it has teetered on the brink of what would be the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, bigger even than that endured by Orange County, California, in 1994.
To an extent, recent problems in other municipalities around the United States have shifted the spotlight from Jefferson, but it remains key for investors. Some analysts even argue that widespread municipal defaults pose a risk to the fragile U.S. economic recovery.
The stakes are high for the county too. Jefferson has a population of 670,000 but its main city Birmingham helps power the state's economy, said Alabama Governor Robert Bentley.
Bentley last month urged Jefferson to consider Chapter 9 bankruptcy if all else failed and said it could be the "greatest gift" for the county.
Most analysts argue bankruptcy would make it harder to attract investment and blight future attempts to finance bond issues.
Corruption, dysfunctional management and poor decisions got the county into trouble as it attempted to refinance an upgrade to its sewer system in the mid-2000s with auction and interest rate bond swaps.
More than a dozen county officials are in jail because of corruption. Powerful local business leader Jay Grinney, CEO of HealthSouth Corporation, described the last county commission as "incompetent" and "bickering".
Now, a fresh commission elected in November and headed by wealthy local businessman David Carrington is attempting to project unity and a focus on fiscal probity.
"They seem to have their act together. It's good to have a new set of people in charge that do not carry the baggage that the old commission was carrying," said Andreas Rauterkus, a finance professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The county's new strategy includes the following elements:
* Hiring a consulting firm, likely FTI Consulting, with a view to preparing a turnaround plan.
* County finance director Jeff Hager is conducting audits for its 2008 and 2009 finances. A 2010 audit will start later this year. Audits are an essential prerequisite to any deal with creditors since they provide transparency.
* Last year, a federal court appointed water executive John Young as the 'receiver' of the county's sewer system. Young is seeking ways to cut costs and maximize revenue from the sewer system. This will include an increase to sewer rates.
* The county is looking for ways to slash its overall spending in a bid to address its General Fund debt.
* The county is hiring a manager charged with running its general operations.
* For months, local business leaders have worked behind the scenes to keep lines of communication with creditors open.
At the core of the county's strategy are a set of financial scenarios that Young will soon present to commissioners, outlining ways in which sewer debt obligations can be met.
The key variables include interest rate levels, sewer revenue, length of time and -- crucially -- the total of outstanding sewer bond debt, which represents $3.2 billion minus whatever creditors are willing to subtract, Young said.
"I will be presenting the options to the county and creditors ... and so it is for them to decide if they intersect at a solution," he added in an interview.
In the first step towards reopening what will likely be months of secret talks, Carrington and Stephens earlier this year met in New York with JP Morgan, liquidity providers and bond insurers.
County officials said one likely obstacle is that creditors are disunited and represent divergent interests, but even so there are grounds for optimism.
"Somewhere down the line, someone's going to say: 'This was a bad deal and if this was a bad deal you wash it and you go on,'" said Stephens.

UK @ Georgia | Bulldogs run past Kentucky, 27-3
ATHENS, GA — Another week, another disappointing performance from Kentucky Football as the Wildcats (4-5, 2-5 SEC) dropped their fourth consecutive game with a 27-3 defeat at Georgia on Saturday.
It was the Wildcats third straight loss by 24+ points, knocking UK below .500 for the first time this season.
1. The Good
Let's be honest: Nothing.
Next topic.
2. The Bad
Let's be honest: Everything.
Georgia outperformed Kentucky in every phase of the game.
The offense managed only 190 yards — it's worst outing of the season. The defense surrendered 300 yards just on the ground — its worst outing of the season. And special teams was very unspecial yet again, with Ryan Timmons muffing a punt in the first quarter and officials negating an onside kick recovery in the second quarter after ruling a UK player was offsides.
Quarterback Patrick Towles also had another underwhelming performance, finishing 8/24 for 96 yards and two interceptions, with a Georgia defender dropping what should have been a third INT. The junior signal caller has now completed under 50% of his passes in four games this season along with tossing multiple interceptions in four different contests, too.
Redshirt freshman Drew Barker did replace Towles late in the third quarter, making only the second gametime appearance of his collegiate career. He completed just one of two passing attempts for five yards.
3. The Very Ugly
It's 2014 all over again.
After starting the year 4-1, Kentucky has now dropped four consecutive games by a combined score of 151-67.
What appeared to be a sure bowl season just a few weeks ago has quickly transformed into a scratch and crawl to the finish line.

Young Eagle River team begins riflery season at 1-1
With a core group of returners and up-and-coming freshmen, Eagle River High riflery can contend with the Cook Inlet Conference's best, said seventh-year head coach Jeff Parker.
"We will definitely be a challenge to the top team in the region, which is Dimond," Parker said during a recent practice. "It's not a matter of if, it's just a matter of when."
Six of Eagle River's 28 on the team are returning from last year, Parker said. Four of those six — seniors Brandon Henderson, Chris Pascale and Ryan Lavey and junior Branden Lyon — are key returners, he said.
All four bring consistency to the team, Parker said. They are receptive to coaching and want to improve their skills, he said.
Pascale and Henderson are the team's captains. As seniors, they provide the experience to a young Wolves team, about half of which is made up of freshmen, Parker said.
"They have some good team leadership skills," he said.
Though new to the sport, the freshmen are catching on quickly, Parker said.
"We've got some good young shooters," he said.
Lyon, a third-year shooter, echoed his coach's words.
"They're learning fast," he said. "They've got the positions down."
One freshmen shooter in particular, Cat Papasodora, is sure to be one of the best in the sport in the coming years, he said.
"She's a really happy and energetic young kid," Parker said. "She's a go-getter."
The entire team shares Papasodroa's cheerful attitude, Parker said.
"It's probably the happiest group I've every coached," he said. "They have a lot of spirit. They have a lot of enthusiasm.
"It's a wonderful thing," Parker said. "It makes it very pleasurable to coach."
The Wolves, who fell to 1-1 after losing to West Anchorage 7-0 on Oct. 14, have shown improvement each week early in the season, Parker said.
"We win or we get better, and we're getting better," he said. "Our future is very optimistic."
Parker said the entire team is essential for success.
"It takes a team with everybody involved, whether you're No. 1 or No. 28," he said.
The team is hoping to improve on its third-place finish at last year's CIC championships, Henderson said.
"We're coming around slow, but I think in the end we'll be where we need to be," he said. "We've got the shooters. It comes down to whether or not they perform in a match."
Controlling their nerves is key to success in matches, Henderson said.
"Most coaches will say 90 percent of shooting is in the head," he said. "It's not a physically demanding sport, but it's a mentally demanding sport."
Riflery also has a calming effect, Henderson said, an attribute he likes best about the sport.
"It's relaxing, and the people are great," he said.
Lyon said he likes the challenge and camaraderie riflery offers.
"It takes a lot of concentration," he said. "It's just fun to do."

Sheila is the story of two friends in 1987 at the edge of town.
Gloria opens her door to the woman she hasn't seen since she disappeared from home ten years ago. Mary sees the face that has haunted her memories of childhood and dreams of womanhood. But the reflection that the women seek in each other is dimmed by the years of silence and distorted by the struggle for survival. How did they get here? Did one of them take a wrong turn, or were they driven apart?
A thrillingly intimate drama, Sheila pits two women against the world: not to conquer it—to survive it. But what chance do they have to decide the terms of their survival?

Trading Matt Carpenter is one of five moves General Manager John Mozeliak should make in the coming weeks to shake up the Cardinals, who have their worst record at this point in the season since 2007.
Read the rest of entry »
Share This:
History virtually repeated itself on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium as the Cardinals scored three runs in the first off Kenta Maeda but Michael Wacha could not hold the lead as the Dodgers rallied for the win.
The Dodgers beat the Cardinals 5-1 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Memorial Day.
At the Memorial Day milepost, the Cardinals found themselves with a .500 record at 24-24 after they lost to the Dodgers on Monday in the opener of a four-game series at Busch Stadium.
Admitting the move was a little "out of the box," General Manager John Mozeliak said Monday the Cardinals have optioned outfielder Randal Grichuk all the way down to Class A Palm Beach.
The Cardinals are back at Busch Stadium for a quick four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers (May 29-June 1).
It was a day full of memories for Rob Rains and the other inductees into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mo. on Thurs. May 25, 2017.
The Cardinals hit four homers, including one in his first career at-bat from Paul DeJong, but another bad eighth inning helped give the Rockies to the win on Sunday in Colorado.
One night after the Cardinals were shut out by the Rockies, Adam Wainwright reversed that result, throwing seven scoreless innings as the Cardinals got a shut out of their own on Saturday night.
The Cardinals played their 99th game in franchise history in Colorado on Friday night, and they hope it's at least another 99 games before they play another game like the opener of this three-game series.

One more comment: Although gender equity has (legal and ethical) merit on its
own, it is also a tool that allows us to find ways our education techniques are
not working. Using equity issues as a tool to address the needs of pregnant and
parenting teens has implications for future generations of students-- the kids
of those teens are headed into our school systems, too.
I recently came across some wonderful policy recommendations in the area of
linking social support services for teen parents with education and equity
provisions, in order to improve the educational and employment outcomes of teen
parents. Anyone who wants specific reference to the policy recommendation
document should feel free to email me privately. I will find it in my pile.

Looks like a lot of very nice wild trees in Croatia. What are some of your favorite wild/collected broadleaf trees native to the US? In several years of collected in Colorado I have only one nice deciduous tree. A Gambel Oak, Quercus gambelii. A shrub really. Hard not to go after the conifers here.

Compared to collected conifers the quality of broadleaved trees in the USA is nothing so far. They must be somewhere. Croatia is smaller than Maine. Ten years ago people told me that we had MUCH better and more very good conifers to collect in Europe. And now it has become clear that the very best conifers in the world are in America. Let's see who discovers there outstanding broadleaved trees which are somewhere.

Hi mr pall
Where I live here in Northern California the hills are full of such material. There are thousands of coast live oaks, blue oak, vally oak, wild plum, buck eye, etc. all have been chewed back and contorted much like these wonderful trees you have.
- January 4, 2014 at 5:54 PM
- Walter Pall said...
great! so why are all these trees not available on the market?
- January 4, 2014 at 6:02 PM
- Duncan Kwitkor said...
Well sadly it can be quite hard to get trees out or into California. Also I don't know to many people looking as I am, or at least not in the way I look. Most Americans seem so obsessed with Japanese trees and "styles" that they fail to notice or even look for this material.

Style hack for everyday. Pair those sweatshirt with ripped denim, converse shoes plus a lot of swag and this mantra will get you through all your college days.
Outfit 2:
Clean-up nice for date nights! This is…take notes girls...the perfect day to night look. Pair cute skater dresses with smart satchels add summer sandals or plimsolls to complete the look
Outfit 3:
Light kimono open jackets are so in vogue right now, but it is such a struggle to find the right things to to finish a look with it. So here is what we suggest, add skinny jeans, tank top and some light accessories like long chains and bracelets to complete the urban boho look. And you are good to go.

This entertaining and often provocative book examines such mysteries as dark matter and dark energy, the prospect of life on Mars, sex and death, free will and the placebo effect, among other head-scratchers...The book is at its best when Brooks throws himself into the action. He undergoes transcranial magnetic stimulation to test the assumption that he has free will, and subjects himself to electric shocks for a placebo-response test...This elegantly written, meticulously researched and thought-provoking book provides a window into how science actually works, and is sure to spur intense debate.
A boundless enthusiasm resounds through this homage to the outstanding problems of science
Brooks expertly works his way through... hotly debated quandaries in a smooth, engaging writing style reminiscent of Carl Sagan or Stephen Jay Gould. At times, as I was deeply engrossed in parts of this book, I found myself as captivated and wide-eyed as I was decades ago when I picked up my first science books and found my calling. Mr Brooks has the ability to make his readers forget their surroundings – in my case a hectic newsroom – and train their minds' eyes on images as foreign as a vast Martian landscape or as distant as a roiling, infant universe. Every mystery is brought to life in vivid detail, and wit and humor are sprinkled throughout
…perfect for drying off from a dip in the pool or arming yourself with cocktail party chatter at a Mensa event
WOW! is one of the things that Michael Brooks includes here – it is the signal from space that may have come from an alien civilization – but it's also the way I feel about this book's magical mystery tour. You will be amazed and astonished you when you learn that science has been unable to come up with a working definition of life, why death should happen at all, why sex is necessary, or whether cold fusion is a hoax or one of the greatest breakthroughs of all time. Strap yourself in and prepare for a WOW! of an experience
Brooks provides cogent character sketches as he introduces the scientists involved in these investigations. He also effectively plays the gadfly, taking potshots at the scientific orthodoxy these phenomena call into question
These examples of the hard work of paradigm shift are truly fascinating. Brooks examines the uncomfortable phase that comes before a radical change in scientific thought—or the failure of a proposed model

Tod Dockstader is an American electronic music composer who began his career in the 1950s editing Mr. Magoo and Gerald McBoingBoing cartoons before applying that same sugar-rush illogic of Saturday morning cartoons to the stuffed shirts of academic music-making. Hallucinatory early electronic albums like 1961's Luna Park and 1964's Quatermass mixed sonic playfulness with dedicated process, taking the sounds of shortwave radio, deflating balloons, Nazi crowds and alley cats and warping them into new shapes, influencing the child's play of Aphex Twin, Matmos and AnCo decades later.

I have a pair of ServerIronGT with router code(10.2.01bTD2) to perform SLB for two radius servers.(udp port 1812 and 1813)
The ServerIron was configured in symatric SLB mode for redundancy.
In the radius proxy situration, we need radius servers to use the VIP as source address to other radius servers that are not in my domain.
I enable "server reverse-nat" on the ServerIron and it works fine.
But when I add another VIP, (let's say VIP2, which is on different VLAN than VIP1, and it's bind to the same ports and same real servers as VIP1 did.)
I noticed that the port default can not bind to the VIP2 due to it's characteristics or limitation.
According to the manual described:
"Dynamic NAT for Real Servers Using Virtual Server Address
Release 10.0.00a enhances dynamic NAT functionality by enabling the ServerIron to use virtual server address as
dynamic NAT address for real servers. The previous releases required use of reverse NAT in such situations
leading to security concerns. This enhancement enables use of virtual server IP address for outbound
connections from real servers."
Then I add dynamic NAT configuration for VIP2 but VIP1 stay with "reverse-nat" and "bind port default" configuration.
The traffic initial from real server is translated to VIP2 correctly, but when the client send traffic to VIP2. Clients never get any response.
After using sniffer trace packet flow, it tells that the return traffic is stucked in the ServerIron.
Would someone tell me where goes wrong or any suggestion?
Based on the fact that you mentioned you have two VIPs in different VLANs and with different configurations for a common set of servers, my first concern would be asymmetric routing breaking the flow state. (i.e. TCP SYN from client enters VIP1 and reaches the server, the server response with a SYN-ACK and the NAT configuration applied to the VIPs forces it to be sent out VIP2, the LB see's an irregular flow and drops the SYN/ACK response from the server to the client attempting to be sent out VIP2.)
This might not be the issue, but hopefully it will knock one more item off the process-of-elimination list.
Below are the details:
Vip2: binded to Rs3 and Rs4
Rs1 -> Vip2 -> Rs3/Rs4
The background of this issue is syn/ack packet from rs3/rs4 will be forwarded locally to rs1 without adx's translation of VIP address.
3way handshake will never be established in this case. So, if your rs1 and rs3/rs4 are on different physical interface of adx, you don't have to do any additional configuration.
Now, I am going to explain to you how "source-nat access-list" feature will work.
When this feature is enabled and rs1(10.210.40.201) connect vip1(10.210.40.100), adx replaces its source IP address with 10.210.40.241.
From rs3 and rs4 point of view, connection is coming from 10.210.40.241 instead of 10.210.40.201.
This source NAT will apply only to the source IP address matching access-list 2. So, any other IP address will not be replaced, or affected.
Here is the sample configuration for you.
server source-ip 10.210.40.241 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
server real rs3 10.210.40.207
source-nat access-list 2
port http
server real rs4 10.210.40.208
source-nat access-list 2
port http
server virtual vip1 10.210.40.100
port http
bind http rs3 http rs4 http
server real rs1 10.210.40.201
access-list 2 permit host 10.210.40.201
access-list 2 deny any
Optionally, you can configure multiple source-ip and bind one source-ip with one real server.
Here is the sample configuration.
server source-ip 10.210.40.241 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
server source-ip 10.210.40.242 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
server real rs3 10.210.40.207
source-nat access-list 2
source-ip 192.168.1.241
port http
server real rs4 10.210.40.208
source-nat access-list 2
source-ip 192.168.1.242
port http
reverse-nat and source-nat acl won't work together. But Dynamic NAT and source-nat acl will work together.
