Anyone ever have this weird screen on startup?

Sometimes on startup it stays on the grey startup screen forever and I have to restart. Sometimes it starts up, the Finder starts then it just hangs. No message, no mouse movement, nothing. So that needs a restart too. Then very occasionally I get this screen on startup....
It will startup eventually but it's getting a little tiresome!
Any info would be great!

Well it has booted up fine and I ran work backups fine. Then launched my music software and one of my pcie cards that I use for musc was not there. Shutdown, reseated card and it seems to be there now.
Like I said, it will work fine for hours then suddenly just hang. Or it won't startup the first 2 times then it starts up and is fine for 3 days.
Weird.
Here's the info from etrecheck.

I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

My iphone can make calls and receive them, but i cannot hear anything on the other end. Anyone ever have this problem?

any suggestions?

I had this same problem, but it seems to have disappeared after I discovered that Bluetooth was on and turned it off (General menu in the Settings app).

Anyone ever have this problem???

I recently have been bombarded with phone calls from AT&T asking for a person whom I don't know. Turns out this person has my exact same phone number, but is using AT&T as the provider. How can this be? I had my number changed a few months ago, so maybe this number was someone else's. So what do I do? Change my number AGAIN? Or maybe the other person should change theirs.....

Typically a phone number is "aged" before it is assigned to a customer. This avoids customers from getting calls for previous customers.
Also no two customers, irrespective of the provider, can have the same telephone number at the same time. You and the other person can't have the same number active at the same time. If calls to the number end up ringing in your home/business, then it is your number.
I think you have a couple of options...
1- Live with it and inform the company calling that the person is no longer at the number.
2- Change your number and explain the reason for the change is due to unwanted calls.
3- If the calls are coming from one number, you may be able to have the number blocked so the calls do not get to you.
Hope this helps.

Anyone ever have this happen?

So my iTunes library is on an external hard drive and I thought my iPod was not importing the artwork for my songs, even though it was visible in iTunes. Anyhow, it turns out that the first 2-3 songs in every one of my album folders did not have the artwork on the files themselves (like when you look at the icons, it looked like a generic iTunes file) but the others did. if I did apple-I in the main window though, all the tracks showed the artwork
any idea how my files may have gotten messed up? The iPod IS importing the art, but obviously only for the songs that have it on the actual file. ALL of the files had art before, but now the first 2-3 songs on EVERY album has it missing.

I noticed the problem started happening when I accidentally plugged in my iPod without having the external hard drive turned on (I have a stereo system in my room and don't use my computer to listen to music, so the only time I go into iTunes is to load the iPod.
Could that have caused those files to get messed up?
I notice if you remove the album artwork folder iTunes creates a new one. Maybe that folder got corrupted somehow?

3 GS freezes to white screen occasionally after hitting home button. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Has anyone ever experienced a white screen that freezes then turns black after hitting the home button?

I have had intermittent white screens for some time (as in three years). It happens when the phone "wakes up". I hae lost calls that I could not answer because the screen was white. It has come up white when I hit the home screen. Not always, but with random frequency. All I have to do it hit the power button (I do not have to power off, just hit the button) and reopen the phone and it is gone. I know the phone is functioning under this screen, I just cannot do anything.
My first 3GS had the problem so severly I called Apple. After two and a half hours of resets of various kinds, they decided the phone was bad and sent my a replacement. It was better, but it still has the issue. I have gotteb used to it and am waiting until I can get an upgrade to the phone in the hopes it takes care of it. In the meantime, I occasionally doa search here and un the intertubes to see if someone else has the issue and a solution.
My suspicion has been that some app I downloaded causes it, but I have deleted apps and cannot get rid of the issue.

When I am on an Internet site, the iPad will suddenly flash a grey screen and then go to the home page". I then have to go back to safari and reopen my page. Anyone else have this trouble?

When I am on an Internet site, my iPad will suddenly flash a grey screen and then go back to the home screen where I have to start Safari again and reopen my page. It does it frequently sometimes 3 times within 5 minutes. Anyone else have this trouble? It is driving me crazy!

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Hi, i had the exact same problem and a searched google for any suggestions. In the end I just very gently scratched it off.

I bought my iPhone on Friday and when I tried to use it to make a call the screen had turned green - as if a green filter had been placed over it. When I turned the phone sideways the color turned to magenta. Anyone else have this problem?

I bought my iPhone on Friday and when I tried to use it to make a call (after I had left the store) the screen had turned green - as if a green filter had been placed over it. When I turned the phone sideways the color turned to magenta. Anyone else have this problem? I plan on exchanging the phone but can't get there until later this week.

Any other thoughts. Where do you change the mute switch settings?

Double-tap the screen with three fingers, then go to Settings and disable the Zoom function so you don't accidentally trigger it again.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to trad. Many simply do not read such posts. As your title is in all cpas, many may not read it.
Have you tried to reset the iphone?
Restore it?

Anyone ever have this weird screen on startup?
