If there are difficulties with MacBook, if one or more applications are not responding, instead of the cursor, the Rainbar Ball and MacBook screen does not respond to the key to press the keys, you should not be afraid. There are several methods of how to cope with these problems and restart MacBook without harm to it.

If this method is inconvenient, you can exit a full-screen mode. Move the cursor to the top of the screen and click on a double arrow in the upper right corner. In this case, the opened window will come to a smaller version. And at the top of the screen, the menu bar will appear with the Apple icon.

Next Mouse over the Apple icon and click on the left mouse button. If TouchPad is used, one click is enough anywhere. A drop-down menu appears, which, among other things, contains the "sleep mode" fields, "Reload", "Turn off". In the menu, select "Restart" and click on the left mouse button (any place TouchPad). MacBook will reboot. It should be borne in mind that all non-saved files will be lost, which will pop up the alert window.

Do not rush to restart the MacBook if any of the applications depended. Wait about a minute, the cursor in this case will become a rainbow spin. Usually this time is enough for the application to proceed the last query and executed the command. If the application does not respond anything else, you can use the "Complete Finder Forced" function from the upper menu with the Apple icon. A pop-up window will appear in which you can select the hanging application and confirm its closing with the "Complete" button.

There are situations where MacBook itself is hung and does not respond to any action. The cursor does not move, the key combinations do not help. Then the extreme method is forced reboot. You must click on the MacBook's power on and hold for a few seconds until the screen goes out. After the screen goes out, you can start MacBook again.

The fact that the computer technique has a "habit" to hang, probably know absolutely everything. However, how to do this in the event of such a problem, not everyone knows. For this reason, it is sometimes taking actions that lead not to a positive result, but to aggravate problems. So that this does not happen, beginners useful to read the recommendations, how to enable, turn off and restart MacBook.

To successfully work with MacBook, you need to know how to turn on, turn off and restart MacBook.

Armed with such knowledge, the user will never panic in the event of a technical failure, but will quietly fulfill all the simple actions that allow you to return the successful operation of your MacBook.

Main ways to work with McBuck

We are sincerely happy for you if you have become the owner of such a modern device as a MacBook, which is a product of the famous Apple company. So that your acquaintance with the new device is always accompanied by positive moments, we recommend immediately familiarize yourself with the principles and methods of working with such a laptop.

You can enable the device with absolutely every owner, because it can easily find the power button, accompanied by a icon, identical to what is on the keyboard of other computer devices on the keyboard. It is enough to click on the power button, how the device will start and delight you with your work.

Council. Make it is easy, but only we recommend initially paying attention to the cursor. If at this moment it is a spinning multicolored ball, then just go to the side, so as not to "warm up" with forced waiting for his irritability, do not bring it to the state of the "boiling point". Know that a rotating multicolored ball indicates that your MacBook is trying to fulfill that request that you specifically set him.

If you do not observe such a ball or you do not have time to expect the process of processing your request, then we suggest you forcibly close the program. This can be done in two ways. The first way implies to clamp two keys at the same time: Command and Q. Introduction This combination orients the gadget to close the current software application.

You can use the second way. To do this, pay attention to the menu bar. It is always located at the top of the screen. Do not be afraid if you do not see it, it means that you have discovered the last window in full-scale viewing. Just lay the mouse cursor to the top edge of the screen, the menu bar will immediately seem. You can also hover the mouse cursor to the right upper corner and click on the icon with two arrows. In this case, the window will switch to ordinary mode and the menu bar will no longer hide. Now click on the second parameter of the Finder.

In the list that opens, you will find the "Complete Finder Forcibly" option, click on it. After such your actions, a new window will appear, in which the processes running at this time on your device will be listed. You can choose a problem software application, highlight it and click on the "Complete" button. After a few seconds, the problem will be solved. If you still need this program, you need to simply re-enable it.

Shutdown rules

If your device is successful, no failures are observed, then at the time when it is necessary to turn off the MacBook, you should use the special function of the device.

To do this, click on the "Apple" icon in the top menu bar. In the list that opens, select the "Shutdown" option, click on it, everything else will automatically perform the operating system yourself, you can only wait. By the way, using this way, you can not only turn off your device, but, if necessary, restart it, enter into sleep mode. It all depends on what tasks you need to execute.

However, unfortunately, it often happens that your "obedient" device suddenly refuses to perform the actions to which you actively orient it. Simply put, your MacBook begins to hang, without reacting either on the movement of the mouse or by pressing certain keys. In this case, it is necessary to perform actions that lead to the compulsory disconnection of the gadget.

Many experienced users have endowed this process with such a name as "hard restart". It suggests pressing the power button, hold it for a few seconds. There is no definite amount of time, during which it is necessary to definitely hold the button, it is important to perform it until the screen becomes black. If you still need to continue working, then you can turn your device again.

So, the principles of turning on and off McBook are not completely difficult. It is important only to perform such actions, and not be guided by the advice of lzhemaster, recommending to extract the battery, leave the macbuck included on, waiting for the full battery discharge. Such actions can provoke even more serious problems, so do not give in to amateur prisoners.

Unfortunately, any computer user may encounter a problem when operating system Mac does not boot And as if freezes on the download process. It looks like this, as a rule, so: the computer starts uploaded, the Apple logo appears on the screen, but then nothing happens - the system is not loaded, and the computer does not respond to that, except for forced switching off the power button, does not respond. In other cases, a load indicator may appear under the "apple" logo (in the same way as it is shown in the image above), but it also does not happen. Why does it happen and how can I fight with it? Is it necessary in such cases? Tell in order.

Why mac does not load and hangs on an apple logo

The reasons for mac stopped loading may be different:

• The operating system failure associated with damage to important system files (for example, in case of not the correct installation of the system components update, or install the new OS).
• Damage to system files due to malware action.
• Lack of free space on the boot volume of the computer.
• The inability to determine the boot volume due to the program error or damage the hard disk plume (a clear symptom of this -).
• Malfunction of hardware components (damage to the hard disk or SSD, a video chip defect, etc.).

Mac does not boot and freezes. What to do?

Depending on the causes of the problem, there are different variations of its solution. Some can be tried independently, others will be able to implement only a specialist in the service center. Below will give several recommendations that you can do if Mac stopped loading and hangs on the Apple logo or the download indicator. Let's start with a simple.

Loading in safe mode

Few know that the MacOS operating system allows you to boot in safe mode (SAFE MODE), which allows you to identify various system errors. In Safe Mode mode, only the system kernels with basic important functions is loaded, while the file system is checked during the computer, the file system is checked in safe mode for errors and, if possible, eliminate them. Therefore, in most light cases, Mac downloads in safe mode with a subsequent correct software reboot can solve the problem if your Mac does not boot and freezes.

In order to download Mac (it does not matter whether MacBook, IMAC or Mac mini) in safe mode, you need when you turn on the computer, clamp the "SHIFT" key On the keyboard and hold until the download indicator strips appear. Note that the MacOS download time in safe mode takes much longer than the standard loading of the operating system, so we recommend to gain patience.

Fixing errors using disk utility

The disk utility is a specialized application for working with the boot volume and the MacOS file system, which allows, in addition to standard formatting functions or breakdowns to partitions, check the disk and boot partition for errors and the correctness of access rights to system files.

To start the disk utility if the computer is not loaded in normal mode, you need to boot from the built-in MacOS recovery section. For this you need when you turn on the computer, press the ALT / OPTION button (⌥) and hold it until the download selection screen appears, then select the recovery section (Recovery). Forced download from the MACOS recovery section can be carried out when you press the keyboard shortcut Command (⌘) -R When running a computer.

When the recovery section is running, you must select the "Disk Utility" item:

In the disk utility, select the "First Aid" section and click "Run" (relevant for MacOS versions of EL Capitan and Sierra), or manually select "Check Disc" and "Check Access Rights" (Available for OS X Yosemite and Older). If, at the end of the process, the disk utility will report that the disk is working or restored, then try to restart the computer and check the operating system booting again. If you successfully correct the MacOS errors found should be loaded correctly in normal mode.

If, during the verification process, the disk utility issues error message, fix that cannot be thought about how to save important files and documents, and then reinstall the operating system.

Reinstalling the MacOS operating system

If the Mac does not load and hangs on the download indicator, and the recovery of the results does not give the result, then most likely, without reinstalling the operating system, it is hardly possible to do. At the same time, given the fact that the computer is not loaded, to extract files and user documents can be very problematic.

In order to extract files from a boot volume that cannot be started, you will need to either connect the computer to another Mac in an external disk mode (the method is not very simple and requires the presence of a second Mac computer, FireWire cable or Thunderbolth, as well as strict Mac OS versions On both computers), or connect to a computer from an external medium with an installed operating system or special software for extracting and transferring data.

Unfortunately, neither each MAC user has the opportunity to carry out similar manipulations and, facing the situation when their computer stops correctly loaded and freezes, and simple ways to solve the problem do not help, simply do not know what to do. If your MacBook Pro, MacBook AIR or IMAC is not loaded or the operating system freezes when loading, you can always seek help from our service center specialists. It will be performed as quickly as possible with all your wishes about saving important data and the desired settings that our employees will make for your computer so that he will please his stable work for a very long time.

  Sometimes, such problems are associated with the physical dying of the hard disk on your MacBook. Unfortunately, hard drives on McBooks fail and not so rarely, as I would like.

Before you close the hanging application, it is better to wait a bit. Maybe this app is trying to process your last request. The cursor in this case looks like this.
