What is the little circle spinning at the top of my phone
What is the little circle spinning at the top of my phone
If you mean the one in the upper left corner by your carrier name and WiFi icon, that is a symbol that indicates that the phone is connecting to a website, downloading something. It is a network activity indicator.
If it is continually spinning, it is searching for a signal or for something that it's not finding.

My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
MY DAUGHTERS IPOD TOUCH HAD NO AVAILABLE SPACE LEFT IN MEMORY SO WE TRIED TO CONNECT IT TO ITUNES TO SAVE PICS TO MY LAPTOP AND THEN UPDATE IT BUT ITUNES SAID IT DID NOT RECOGNIZE THIS DEVICE.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

What does the little circle with a line in it mean when in edit mode? how can I get rid of it?
What does a little circle with a line in it mean when I am trying to edit? how do I get rid of it?
robynlwitheridge
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
Can you post a screenshot of it?
If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
a. defining what you want to do
and
b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

I have 2 iPads both the sane except for case color. One connects to my home wifi fine, the other will not "join". It finds the wifi name and the little circle turning wheel just spins. I have tried about ten different "fixes" none work.. Reboot, forget wifi, etc.
Unplugged wifi on and on for about an hour.
I have compared settings between the two and cannot see any difference.
Both iPads worked fine last week. One made a trip to MI and used cellular access just fine. Now that one still uses cellular OK, but refuses to "join" the wifi.
Too bad I can't attach a picture.
Anyone care to offer a unique workable solution I have not tried?
Thanks
WD9HIKHave you tried renewing the lease in the WiFi settings? Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Tap the blue arrow>Renew Lease. If you haven't tried that - try it first before reading the information about restoring the iOS software.
Follow the instructions in here. If you are unsure about anything - do not proceed. Post back with questions first.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Apple - Support
Make sure that you transfer all purchases, backup the iPad and sync with iTunes first. When you restore to factory settings, iTunes should ask if you want to backup first, but it will not hurt to initiate a backup on your won before you even start the restore process.

Mackeeper is a horrible preoduct. Get rid of it immediately. It's hard to troubleshoot anything else with MacKeeper in the way.

Can you also clarify what version of the Mac OS you have? "10.0.0" as shown in your profile will not run on a 2008 iMac. Doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu will show your actual version, as in this example:
The OS version is indicated by the upper red arrow I added. -
When we rent a show like The Good Wife while watching the show it freezes and the little circle goes around and around. The only way to get the program going again is to use the remote and go forward or backward. This happens throughout the whole show and it is impossible to watch. Can anyone help? We cannot watch movies or shows this way.

What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?
What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean? [Fig. 1]
I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
Again, any help is appreciated.
Fig.1OK, I think I might have figured this out.
First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha.
Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
Thanks for trying to help anyway. -
My screen is black on my iPhone with the little circle in the middle like it is powering down. It's been like this for over an hour! Help
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If it hasn't appeared after 30 seconds your phone is probably broken. If something other than an Apple logo appears see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

That means that you have an event invitation. Click on the envelope icon in the bottom left corner of the iCal window to display the invitation and choose what to do with it.

My Ipad 2 won't reboot. the little circle keeps going round but the buttons don't work. help please.
My Ipad 2 won't reboot. The little circle keeps going round but that's all, it won't boot. nothing happens when I press the button on the top either. Please help.
After you hold the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears (ignore the red slider to shut down) then let go of both buttons and you don't need to do anything else. Your iPad will restart all by itself. Just be patient, but leave your iPad alone after the Logo appears.

What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for?
What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for? Not the SIM card eject on the side. The similar hole near the headphone jack.
The hole on the top is your noise cancellation for phone calls and application VOIPs. It may also be used on other kinds of apps such as memos and video recordings.

I am having problems shutting down my MacBook Pro. I go to the apple and click shutdown or restart, it appears the shutdown process starts, the screen goes blue and the little circle keeps going round and round, but nothing happens even after 30 minutes.
Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.
And try resetting the SMC.
