I recently journeyed into the land of the light and am the brand new owner of a MacBook Pro. Having been a slave to PC's for WAY too long, I am clueless how the mac operates, but a VERY quick learner.

I am have downloaded an executable file that I need for work, but cannot seem to get it to launch to install my program. I know this is very elementary, but we all have to start somewhere.

• Mar 19, 2012  MacBook Pro:: Won't Startup - Folder With Flashing Question Mark? Jun 18, 2007 well i just got back from vacation and I tried turning on my macbook, but it wouldn't startup. It made a clicking noise and all that appeared was a white screen and a folder with a flashing question mark inside it.
• Macbook Pro Startup Repair. Ask Question Asked 4 years, 2 months ago. ( i ask to my friend to dowload the file and we used the Disk Maker for create a usb bootable ). MacBook Pro (Early 2011, 8,2) will not boot Mac OS X after installing Linux.

Thank you!

PS - this is only the first elementary question i will have, so if you have a good source for Mac beginners, please share. I haved purchased 'Macbook Pro - Portable Genius', but that seems to be more focused on visually arranging my computer.

Sorry to say this but now you will become a Slave to Apple and Mac OS X.

Actually there is very little difference between the 2 platforms.

As to the Executable file. Apple Mac OS X does not use Executable files (.exe). Those are for Windows based computers. Mac OS X uses .DMG files and .APP files. .DMG is the compressed format of a program which may come as just a DMG or a DMG wrapped up in a .ZIP file.

You would need to double click on a ZIP file to expand it to a DMG then double click on the DMG to expand it into a working .APP file and then drag it to the Applications folder. Some programs have installers that walk you through the process and others don't. With the ones that don't you need to physically Drag the .APP file to the Applications folder to install it. The ones that do kind of walk you through the process you will still need to drag the app icon to the Applications folder but that will be done in its own window.

You mentioned troubleshooting, did it include these:

NVRAM reset

Shut down the MacBook Pro. Start it and immediately hold down Command, Option, P and R keys at the same time. Wait until you hear the startup chime for the third time before letting go.

Also, SMC reset may be needed (that usually doesn't fix a missing boot partition, though).

• Shut down the computer.
• 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 to turn on the computer.

Restart and hold down the D key to enter the Hardware Test. Follow the instructions.

When booted externally, use Finder's Go menu to open Utilities. Launch Disk Utility and look for any signs of your internal drive in the list of hard drives on the left. If you find it look for First Aid and try to use it on the disk.

Refer to the following to see if it takes you anywhere you haven't been yet.
