My imac will not load after I enter my password. The only thing I get is the arrow from my mouse on top of a blank white screen.  Can anyone tell me what this is?  I've restarted and turned off several times.  I left it on in this state for 8 hours hoping it would reload and work.  No luck.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

    I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
    Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
    Thanks again.

  • The webpage does not load after pressing enter or CTRL+ENTER. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate

    I have tried installing the older version Firefox 3.6. After entering the URL on address bar it does not load after pressing enter or CTRL+ENTER

    This issue can be caused by an extension (AVG Safe Search can cause this) that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password.  It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down.  Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?

    Hello SharonLo
    Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Regards,

  • We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth?

    We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth? If I run over the 10 mgs, the service either slows way down until it is reset on the first of the next month or I have to purchase additional bandwidth and it can get expensive.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    If you only have a 10MB limit on the Internet connection you might as well not have Internet access and certainly should not attempt to stream anything.
    If the limit is 10GB, then you will need to be careful with streaming as most video is 1-3GB for a one hour show.

  • IMac will not load internnet sites despite it having all green lights on the Network Diagnostics screen.  In other words there is a valid internet signal going into the iMac, but the machine will not load sites. Help? iOS 10.9.5

    iMac will not load internet sites, despite having all green lights (strong WiFi signal etc) on the Network Diagnostics screen. in other words there is a strong
    internet wifi signal going into the iMac but the machine does not connect to the internet.  I OS 10.9.5.  Other devices work fine with the same internet signal.

    iOS 10.9.5 does not exist.
    iOS refers to the operating system on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch.
    10.9.5 was never a version of a Classic operating system.
    10.9.5 was a version of Mac OS X, and is 13 years newer than Classic.
    Here are reasons for WiFi signal to fail even when they appear to be strong:
    Most common Wifi issues
    Your Mac may be too close to your WiFi router, in which case, it might be better to connect to it via an ethernet cable if it can't be moved.

  • White iMac will not boot after 10.6.8 upgrade

    I downloaded the 10.6.8 upgrade last night. This morning, the white plastic iMac will not boot.
    I have tried evey known keyboard option.
    I have tried booting from the snow leopard dvd.
    I have zapped the pram.
    Nothing!
    Please, any help would be great.

    We bought 2 iMac's 27inch with i7 Quad-core. Did the update a couple of hours ago. My Mac asked to reboot after update, but i didn't accept and worked with iTunes for a while. Then rebooted manually. After reboot it took about 15 minutes to reboot (light-blue screen with nothing on it, not even a mouse). My Wife also did the update of 10.6.8 and rebooted when asked. Her iMac also took 15 minutes to reboot, bus update was unsuccesful! So did update again and then denied reboot and rebooted manually! (Apple-logo and then choose "restart").
    When we did that, iMac was very fast and updateproblem was solved! So deny reboot and reboot manually and problems are over. Same deal with 2 brandnew iMac. I'm guessing this is an issue. To much of a coincidence for me!

  • PE 9 will not load after installing Elements 10

    Installed Elements 10 on Vista 64-bit.  Did not uninstall Elements 9.  Now PE 9 will not load; get window Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - No Disk.  There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Harddisk2\DR2.  Tried disk 2 of 3 from package, nothing happens.

    Tried twice, PE9 still locked up both times - I think the intent is to have me try PE10, because that did work!!!

    Can anyone tell me what to do my ipad 2 is frozen reset but will not come on seem the apple logo which disappeared and now is frozen

    I really can't tell from your post but did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
