So my mac turns on shows pic related. Thats it Ive tried everything

>>726375150
Fuck u inwanna save my mac. Ive got lots of stuff in it.

>>726375034
Did you try to turn it off and on again?

Gonna need a new hdd. Just open it, remove hard drive, see if it does the same after that. Buy new harddrive, install os x, recover CP from old drive. Done.

>>726375360
Youre all faggots.
Help me out

>>726375275
from my knowledge of macs, the only fix for a broken mac is switching to PC

>>726375436
No cp, not here. Nope, dont know what youre talking bout. CP? Never heard of it?
must be a term in computorology. Dont know what it is. I dont. Yea. Nope

Throw it in pic related, and buy a new one.

If you use mac your a fucking faggot.

you need to take it and throw it out the window on the freeway

>>726375459

You're the faggot for buying a macbook. throw it in the microwave, put it on high for one hour and go buy a real pc. Then get rid of that windows 10 bullshit and put Linux on it.

Ill fucking get a pc alright!!!!!
I still need to access my mac one last time, FFS!

>>726376412
There's probably a way to, using another computer, use its HDD as if it were a flash drive, but fuck if I know how to do it.

>>726375436
This.

>>726376412
Your hard drive is dead for the third time. Just replace it and move on.

>>726376412
Dude no one is gonna help you recover cp from a mac, just go re dl everything from the deep web.

OP the guys are not going to see shit on your HD just take it in and have them swap out shit, macfags dont even know how to use computers bro

I spent a month trying to fix my girlfriend's Mac. They really are fucking useless when they have a problem with the OS. No system recovery tools, no safe mode, no system restore point, you can't reinstall the OS without wiping the whole drive, etc etc. In the end, we sold it to some Asian and she bought a PC.

>>726375436
Nope that model has a quality program for the bracket cable. It's not the hard drive. OP needs a new cable connecting the drive and the logic board.

>>726378981
You are a retard. You can absolutely use recovery tools (Recovery partition), Restore points (Through Time Machine), and you can do OS reinstalls WITHOUT deleting user data. Fuck off with your elementary bullshit.

Cheese pizza

Connect the hard drive to a working computer and give /b/ root access to that computer.

Surely nothing can go wrong then :^)

>>726375034
REAL ADVICE HERE

1) Turn it on recovery mode to take backup if possible
2) In recovery mode you can securely wipe the drive using dd command
3) ?????
4) Restore from time machine backup

use Ubuntu..boot from usb? is that possible?

>>726379656
Go suck a dick, faggot, macs are pricey enough as is, but only a complete retard would pay for an overpriced apple router with a built in hdd they call time machine!

it says macbook air. it will have a proprietary type of super shitty flash storage that makes all sensible pc advice useless. it wont even be an m2 or msata ssd, but something that isn't available off the shelf.

fucking hell i hate apple for such shittyness.

try a bootable linux usb, see if you can access the gaybook air's internal storage

>>726380443
Not on the model in OP's pic. Uses a standard 2.5" drive so why don't you just shut the fuck up and pay closer attention.

>>726379551
You, you are right sir. It's indeed probably just the cable

>>726381069
It's not a MacBook Air, it's an old 13" MacBook Pro that DOES have a normal 2.5" drive. Also a ton of sites make drives for MacBook Airs if you want to improve on the overpriced storage from Apple.

All faggots, out.

Go to another computer and make a bootable DVD with a (supported) OS (macOS, Wincrap, Or some UNIX/Linux stuff). Press (i believe) Command+C or CTRL+C when the sound comes with the DVD in and it should work.

tl;dr: everything is gone unless you know what you're doing.

why would you use lel instead of lol? Think about it. It doesn't mean anything, its just the modification of the actual acronym lol. You don't even know why you use it. Somewhere, sometime you saw a few people post it and hopped right on board. Too mainstream for lol right? Thats so old, its meaning makes sense but you dont feel comfortable expressing your approval of things on the internet with the common old "lol" thats been around for so long. You'll man up and use the purposely misspelled version with no discernible humor or purpose besides making you look like a complete idiot while you maintain the false concept that other people find it amusing or appropriate and using purposely misspelled words shows the world that youre not afraid of anything and are part of some grand inside joke that no one finds funny. Theres a lot going through your head, but you realize I am right. You will try though, to get the best of this exchange. What are you going to go for? Newfag? Summer? oh damn there are so many options to choose from. An implication that I'm underage perhaps? Thats always fresh. Maybe you'll just shut down. I think you should go with something about butthurt or being mad or even comment on the length of the unproportionally long comment that so swiftly brought to your attention that you are a faggot that tries oh so hard to fit in. Careful though, is this even oc? Tsk tsk hard to say dont want to get embarrassed anon. I'm sure you could find some grammar or spelling errors as a last resort. I cant wait, Its always fun playing insult roulette

so... is it your collection of tiles or just random pictures of you that you're worried about, OP?

>>726381475
Yep. It's an issue with the 2012 model. I see it all the time. Take it to Apple and they will fix it for free. I'd like to see these assholes hating on Macs find an example of any other computer maker doing something like that.

Roll quads and i spill coke on it

Will deliver

Put it in your freezer for a couple of hours then open and close the lid 5 times until you feel it vibrate. After that, hold down the apple key and press the F keys but only prime numbers. Close it again and squeeze it as hard as you can. Let it sit at room temperature for another hour. Finally, hold the power button down for 15 minutes and you will se a "sad Mac" icon. Throw computer in the trash and buy a new one.

Alright fag, public school mac support here.

Turn the fucker off, then turn it on and hold option. (Or press Command + R)

Find the recovery drive, look at disk utility

Hit first aid

hit verify disk

after verifying, try repair disk. If it fails congrats youre probably fucked.

if it works send the nudes you have on there

have you access to the net with another pc, if so you can download a linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint and save it to dvd or usb stick then you can boot from it.
Insert the live Linux media, dvd or usb, restart your Mac, press and hold the Option key, and select the Linux media on the Startup Manager screen, you might be able to access the HDD data and save it to another usb drive.

Google "mac folder with question mark" and read from apple support or other relevant links. Depending on year of laptop, it could be a defect with a cable inside connected to the hard drive. Take it to Apple store and let them fix it. If not, ask for your hard drive back. Do you backup your files with Time Machine? If not, you should. Good luck!

OSX installer has some pretty neat diagnostic tools so you can check your drive against any problems.
Don't listen to pleb morons saying PC is better in any way. It isn't. Shit just happens.
Good luck anon.

power while holding command+r and it'll bing you to a recovery mode. there you should be able to check the validity of your disk and also do checks on your hardware. there you could also reinstall the OS that came with your computer.

>>726386346
adding on also try resetting SMC and PRAM. command+option+P+R and command+option+escape. both on bootup. always good to try those if you're having issues.

It can't access the startup disk. Unless it's caused by something temporary, like a little liquid spilling into the keyboard or other physical problems, you're kind of fucked.

There may be a way to jury rig it and use a boot prompt from an external drive and just access your data, but beyond something like that you're fucked.

the problem here is that the computer does not find the OS folders. So proceed like i tell you:
first thing you have to do is to check if the Hard disk failed. Follow this instruction to take the HD out of the mac
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Early+2011+Hard+Drive+Replacement/5119
Get a Sata to USB cable like the one in the picture
Connect the external drive or device to the Mac
Reboot the Mac and after the startup chime hold down the OPTION key during boot until you see the boot selection menu
If you see the HDD select it and boot
If the OS boots and run normally, then the problem is neither in the HDD or the Logic Board, you have dodged the bullet
The problem is in the data cable from the HDD to the Logic Board
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_13%22_Unibody go here and select the model
Look for the Hard Drive Cable replacement guide (for your model) like this one https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Early+2011+Hard+Drive+Cable+Replacement/5120
Buy the component you need from fixit store

i’ve do this last month, is very easy
