  • Macbook starts up with chime  then white screen with grey apple logo and spinning gear appears and continues to spin

    Help,  Turned on MacBook Pro this morning and just get a white screen with grey apple logo and spinning gear.  Cannot access desktop.

    Computer starts up in Safe boot by holding down the shift button.   But when I go to restart the same thing happens.  What should I do?

  • TS2570 tried restart and hold c key, but still only getting white screen with grey apple logo and spinning loading icon, what do I do next?

    nephew had mutliple tabs open and shut down the iMac by hitting the button on the back instead of closing everything corectly.  Now the only screen i get is the white with apple logo and the loading circle icon.  i have attempted restart and c key with disk in but cant even get a menu to come up.  What can I attempt from home before having to haul this into the store? 

    wireless keyboard and mouse were working prior to safe mode attempt, i was able to eject disk.  still waiting on the safe mode restart.  I'm not sure what I should be looking for to confirm safe mode and what the screen should look like if successfully processing.  it seems to be putting off a lot of heat.  BRB

  • White screen with gray Apple logo.

    Could anybody help me? i bought my MacBook, about 3 months ago and never had any problems with it, 3 days ago i want to restart it after i tried to make an actuallitation... so when i did it just appears a white screen with gray apple logo, and no timer going... i look for help here in the apple discussions, and some guy seem to have the same problem... i did just what the other user recomended, i insert the original cd, while press the C key, and went to disk utilities on the bar on top, and clik on Repair Disk. When i did it appears a list of things that says:
    Verify and Repair volumen “Macintosh HD”
    Checkin Journaled HFS Plus volume
    Checkin Extents Overflow file
    Checkin Catalog file.
    Checkin multi-linked files.
    Checkin Catalog hierarchy
    Checkin Extended Attributes file
    Checkin volume bitmap
    Checkin volume information
    The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK. (Font in green)
    Then i didnt know what to do so i restarted and after that it appears the same White screen with gray Apple logo.
    If somebody can help me, i will apreciate it, Thanks.

    Your system info shows you are using OS 10.1. How is that possible if your Macbook is only 3 months old? You will need to correct the information if incorrect & insert the correct information.
    After disconnecting all periperals try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM. If that does not work try Apple Portables: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Since you are still under warranty, you can contact Apple about the problem if the solutions do not work.

  • While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

    We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing.  Never install anything if you do not know what it is.  Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
    That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick.  Although I am not positive. 
    Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed.  Hopefully, someone else will chime in here. 
    GOOD LUCK! 

  • My iPad wont turn on, its black screen then i press home power buttons together and white screen with black apple logo come out after 5 seconds black "lighten" screen comes out and its stuck just like that! Whats the problem?

    HI
    this happened today suddenly while i was working on my iPad it kicked my out of the app that i was using then white screen with black apple logo came out, i thought it was an ordinary thing cause this happens all the time with me, but this time it refused to turn on! After the white screen with the black logo vanished i wad waiting for my lock screen but no, a black screen showed up just like that! And could tell it was black "lighten" screen i tried more than 10 times to do the home+power thing but it wont work, whats wrong with my ipad!

    If the battery is completely drained it may take some time while on the charger before the iPad responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait one hour. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If it doesn't start up make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. They will examine your iPad and explain your options.

    Thank you!

    I was looking at this and it helped! http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    1) Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables - didn't work

    3) Reset the NVRAM / PRAM - worked, yay!

    Hi Haziq0135,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your MacBook Pro is starting up to a gray screen with a Apple logo and a spinning gear. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that should resolve issues like that.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account.  Help?

    I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account.  Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips?  Anyone? 

    Four transfers.  After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc.  Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all.  She sent me this link to help:  Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac.  I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1! 

  • I turned on my mac and all i am getting is a white screen with a flashing envelpe

    I turned on my computer and all that I see is a white screen with an file folder in the middle of screen that flahes.  The file folder also has a question mark on it.

    Try booting to Recovery (Command + R just after releasing the power button)
    If you are running 10.6.8 or Earlier you will need the Install DVD and to hold down C instead.
    Once in there go into Disk Utility, Can you see the Macintosh HD on the left hand side?
    If so;
    Click on it
    Under the first aid tab select "Verify Disk"
    Even if this comes back saying its verified and all good, click "Repair Disk" After this
    If everything is good after that try restarting
    If it says that you need to backup your data and reformat the drive ect, we have to do a Erase and Install.
    (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5943)
    If you haven't got your data backed up you can get an external HDD install OSX onto it, then backup your files from that.
    If you can't see anything on the left, the HDD is dead, or can't be mounted, head to an Apple Retail Store, or Service Provider, and if the data is important you can hit up a data recovery center.

  • Iphone stuck on white screen with black apple logo

    I was updating my Iphone 5 to the new update and left it plugged in to finish the update. When I came back it was stuck on the white loading screen and a message on the computer said iTunes could not connect to the Iphone because it was locked with a passcode and wants me to enter the passcode. However I cannot enter the passcode because the phone won't let me. I cannot get the iphone to shut off or restart as my top button hasn't been very responsive lately. Any suggestions I leave the country for a month on the fourth and need a working phone asap.

    You should contact Apple. There is a replacement program for defective power buttons.https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/

  • Gut white screen with flashing apple and circle/warning sign on white screen when i turn on the computer

    When i turn on my computer, i get only a white screen with a gray apples in the middle, flashing, alternating with a ghostbuster-type warning. Never get to the galaxy screen. Just happened today.

    Did you setup a lock code? I have done this operation via iCloud just few minutes ago and it's booted with 4 numbers lock code just fine. When you lock your Mac, it's restarts automaticly and then loads with lock screen and you are only able to enter password of 4 numbers to unlock it.

  • I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

    I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
