This may have been due to a spurious write instruction to the disk that cause a key file or files to become unreadable. This doesnвЂ™t necessarily indicate a hardware issue with the hard drive, but the filesystem structure has an issue that Disk Utility cannot overcome. Hmmm! OK, thanks! That means exactly as it says.

Then I did Mac HD > repair disk and it said:Д®rror: Disk Utility can't repair this disk. He told me to go to Disk Utility > Mac HD > repair disk, but Mac HD was grayed out, so I repaired the 500 GB Apple HDD instead and it was okay. Select the language, then youвЂ™ll be in the OS X Utilities menu With the Mac off, press and release the power button, then immediately hold down the Command вЊ key and the letter R, and keep those held until youвЂ™re asked to choose a language. What you want to do is boot it with a different key sequence. If the Mac shuts down, it means itвЂ™s encountered an issue with the filesystem that may be repaired using Disk Utility run from the built-in Recovery HD The progress bar is showing the status of checking the filesystem. What youвЂ™re describing is that OS X encountered an issue with the filesystem, so to automatically correct it is attempting to boot to Safe Mode. He gave me a one-time exception because my MBP was outside the support period, and he said: I contacted apple customer service and was chatting it up with this helpful guy named Mark. In safe mode, the MBP would load the grey bar and shut down when finished. I've done a PRAM reset, SMS reset, and couldn't boot into safe mode. I've waited for the bar to complete loading several times and it would just turn off again. My macbook pro (MBP) wouldn't start properly - when I turned it on, a grey screen with the apple logo comes up with a grey loading bar underneath it.

Took it to Apple, they complained that all the screws ( many were missing) were STRIPPED on the grid that fastens the keyboard to the backlight unit. I went there on Monday, and at noon, all lights in the store where off and the door lockedвЂ¦at NOON. Was told I would get a call back from the manager/owner later. I called on Saturday (now 2 weeks later) in the morning when I didnвЂ™t hear from them. No phone call to tell me it was repaired the following weekend, when I called, I was told the part had not been ordered, it WOULD be ordered the coming week, would be repaired by the following weekend. Said it would be finished by the following weekend. They took my 15вЂќ MacBook Pro to repair a keyboard/backlight/power button issue. They are NOT Apple certified, you should know this up front. By the way, I cannot recommend Experimac for any Mac repairs.
