You may encounter a number of warning signs that occur while booting Mac OS X, and “prohibitory” sign is a common one among them. It indicates that something is wrong with the bootable installation of the operating system. Either the settings between hardware and software components are not valid, or some critical data structures/system files of your Macintosh machine are missing. Such situations can cause severe data loss problems with you Mac OS X computer. At this point, Mac Recovery becomes essential if there is no valid backup available.

Your Mac OS X system is more prone to this problem, if it has multi-boot configuration. You can get complete access to file system of another Mac OS X installation, when booted in one installation, that may cause inadvertent changes of critical system files. In most cases, you may not face this behavior if you are running Boot Camp as Windows cannot access HFS+ file system volume by default. However, you can get full access of HFS partitions from Windows by installing third-party applications.

How to Fix Prohibitory Sign in Mac OS X?

You can try out the below steps to sort out this issue; but you need to reinstall the operating system if system files are missing or damaged:
