I have found this to be the most comprehensive and complete set of modes and troubleshooting techniques that is available on TH-cam anywhere. Very good work Ali. My unit is nearly identical to yours. It still does not boot up. And I am certain it is not a hardware issue. I feel this may not be an "off the shelf" retail unit. Certain commands I entered at the #root command prompt were not recognized. I know I was using proper syntax. I sure wish I could enlist your help to get my unit booting again. Regardless. Very Well Done presentation. Unbelievable that "Trolls" have clicked thumbs down button. 1/9/21 UPDATE: Problem solved. Unit runs extremely well now.
Thank you Charles. Your comment is nice and encouraging. It is often a good idea to repair devices, such as computers. However, it is wiser sometimes to purchase a new one. Old computers are slow and frustrating!
@@AliMirmehdi UPDATED COMMENT: After many years of PC only philosophy, I could not let this mid 2012 Macbook pro go. For a small investment I now have a 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM (Crucial brand SSD and RAM) and I found it a very quick simple process to load High Sierra OSx. Once realizing how fast and stable this laptop now performs, I also replaced the battery. So for around 235 bucks and some labor I have an new looking, great little laptop. Takes around 23 seconds to boot from power up. Ali Mirmehdi thank you for the inspiration. Once you suggested just replacing the laptop, it triggered my natural ability to take on a challenge. The Macbook Pro....earlier model's ...are well worth upgrading. So surprised at the performance!
@Liam Coyle Try finding a non-Apple authorized repair tech to have a look at it. A lot of those people have stacks of these piled up with good used parts and can often do a quick repair by swapping out a PC board. Not the ideal troubleshooting style, but it can often get a "dead" unit up and running. Also. Be certain the little gold connectors on the power jack are clean. Lastly, a completely dead, damaged battery will prevent a power on to occur. Battery swaps on a mid 2012 style Macbook pro is about a 10 minute job. Batteries, new, can be had for less than 50 bucks. Just food for thought before you give up on a potentially good unit.
Mine, 2014, is not fully booting up either. Apple said it was the logic board. It just stopped working during a Zoom Guitar lesson I was giving. The camera light was still on, but the screen was black. Not sure if my student could see me or not as I couldn’t see or hear him. What are your thoughts?
Thank you 🙏🏽 the second option worked for me. I’m so grateful for this video. Having computer issues is so frustrating especially when u have no idea how to fix it and u have to take it to someone who is going to charge you an arm and a leg to do just this
Can’t thank you enough by recovering my mac with your guidance. When I was about to give up (after several trials with Apple’s advisors) I found your videos. God bless you!! 🙏🏻
Appreciable! I can't tell how much I was worried to face the same problem but thanks to youagain who have the excellent solution always. Work perfectly!
Thank you so much for your excellent advice .I tried the second system and it worked after several failed attempts using the 10 sec hold method. Bless you.
Dear Ali, I just got my grey screen working with your guidelines. The computer is now installing things, I don´t know what. ThANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! It worked on my late 2.014 macmini with antique screen. Thanks, thanks thanks, I was already counting on spending lots of money on a new computer....
Thank you so much!!! This was a life saver. Shift + Command + V + power button worked! My battery was completely dead so in order for this command to work I had to press all right after I plug in the charger with the green light on before it turns orange. Also I lift the power button and kept holding on the other keys till the laptop was completely turned on. When it’s on don’t rush and use it yet if it stays on 0% battery, because it will die eventually from any use. Just put it quickly in sleep mood and leave it till the battery picks up some charge! Good luck with your problem & thanks again Ali.
Thank you so much.i did an update and it frozen trying to reboot. I did the shift, command p, power button and had to do it several times before it worked. Great tips!
Thanks sir it worked. My 2015 Mac book pro was first not allowing the cursor to move then when I tried to reboot a couple of times it started booting halfway and then a mouse and laptop icon began flashing on the computer. I tried several things till I saw your video. The option of pressing option + command + p + r + power button helped me restart. Many thanks sir 🙏🙏🙏
Holyyyyyyy thank you so muuuuuch the 2nd option worked out for me huhu i was so scared that id have to get a new one or have my files deleted you are life saver thank youuuu
Ali, thank you! I was about throw my mbp into the street, tried everything (even before your video) but in the second episode of this video, you led me through getting it back! Thank you!
Thank you, Ali. Solution 1 worked for my old MacBook Pro. I had recently replaced the original battery, which was very dead, as I understood that this can be an issue with stopping old Macbook Pros from booting up. Anyway, it had appeared that replacing the battery had solved the problem. However, I started getting issues with it booting up again. I will eventually replace my old laptop, but for the time being... :-) Thanks again.
Thank you so much... I was at the point of freaking out... and I came across your video. Was about to try the second technique after trying the first one twice... then I realised my log in came up! I appreciate it 😁
So glad I found your video! The alt cmd R P and power worked! Very hard to hold all of those buttons, but worth it. Thanks for saying to hold it through 3 cycles... cause just as I was about to give up the screen popped on. Saved me a trip to the Apple store.
Worked for me! I started to go crazy breaking shit in the house, you probably saved me from doing something crazy lol. I’m a musician i have all of my music on my laptop, i couldn’t lose it. Thank you!
Mate I was trying to fix my Mac for 10 months and I couldn’t be bothered to get repaired coz I’m literally broke now but this video literally made me give birth to jesus coz it now works haha cheers man!!
I have literally tried more than 20 methods and watched 100s of videos none of them worked at all till i watched your video and shift+control+option+power button for 10 seconds worked 🥺🥺🥺🥺 it saved me Thank you so much
Thank you so much!!! Was worried about having to buy another laptop when my bf decided to update my mac and it was connected to his phone and not on wifi. It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out how to get it to work being stuck on updating for days, spent days researching about what to do and nothing worked until I saw your video.. I tried the safe mode shift+command+v and it worked, was able to connect it to wifi and restart the update. Thanks again so much! You saved me a lot of money!
I wanted you to know that I was able to boot up my MacBook Pro after following your 3-steps, when it was idle for over a year when I had given up hope that all was lost...’til your videos!
Hey I have a question. If you could please help and let me know which option works for me. I woke up one the other day noticed my laptop was dead. Plugged it in, started it but it wasn't on so I press the on bottom or home button and it showed the update bar with the apple logo and it was almost 20 mins until I got through and then when I wanted to choose which admin to go on I noticed there was no mouse figure. So I can't move anything or click on anything. What should I do. Also it is very slow.
Karl Shrestha I’ve lost complete faith it’s been months now I went to go get it repaired and they said the screen was broken so they asked for £300, definitely not worth it.
This works for me but the problem happens again and again ie everytime my laptop goes to sleep or power off mode. Can you please tell if this is fine or points to a serious issue there?

Hey I have a question. If you could please help and let me know which option works for me.
I woke up one the other day noticed my laptop was dead. Plugged it in, started it but it wasn't on so I press the on bottom or home button and it showed the update bar with the apple logo and it was almost 20 mins until I got through and then when I wanted to choose which admin to go on I noticed there was no mouse figure. So I can't move anything or click on anything. What should I do. Also it is very slow.
i did what you said i opened in safe mode , but what shall I do next?
it is a whole list like you have , where did you continue after this?
Thanks a lot. Shift+ctrl+alt+power.
Thank you alt+command=+P+R+power worked !!!
I tried that and finally I can hear the chime however my MacBook still won’t open. I’m losing faith. ):
Im also losing Faith :(
Karl Shrestha I’ve lost complete faith it’s been months now I went to go get it repaired and they said the screen was broken so they asked for £300, definitely not worth it.
Thanks for your explanation
This works for me but the problem happens again and again ie everytime my laptop goes to sleep or power off mode. Can you please tell if this is fine or points to a serious issue there?
Thank you this truly helped.
