The normal suggestions.
Close the app,off fully. Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
Then reboot the pad and try the spp again. If same issue, delete the app, then reload it. ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy. If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update. I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.
Since yours is the ad supported version, they are maing real sure you see the ad. Is it as simple as you need to click thru the ad to get to the game?

Why does my iPhone 5c go to black apple screen when I unlock it?

When using my messaging, if my phone locks when I unlock it, it goes directly to the black apple screen that usually appears when turning my phone on. Then it will eventually go back to my messages. Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it?

Hi MrsBarnett10,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone not unlocking normally while using Messages, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Yosemite Stuck at Black Apple Screen - HELP Please

Tried to install Yosemite on my Macbook Retina Pro stuck at Black Apple Screen Progress bar is about a third done. Beach Ball is spinning been more than five hours. Tried a reboot, zapping Pram etc. still no go. Should I reinstall old system and if so should I use my Time Machine back up or do a fresh install of Mavericks?
**** everything was working so nicely before I tried the Yosemite update.

Hi,
Do you mean that you're unable to logon to Windows no matter via normal start or safe mode, and startup repair doesn't work with the disk?
For this error "gets stuck at 'Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\avgidsha.sys' every time", hope this link can help you

PowerMac wont start up - Gets to Apple screen then goes black

Recently my 2.5Ghz DP PowerMac G5 has been behaving badly and now it appears to have died!
On startup it gets to the grey background with the Apple then nothing. No spinning gear and no Hard Drive activity from the Mac. After switching off and trying again not even the Apple screen comes up I just get a black screen. If I leave it a while then try again I get the Apple screen again but nothing else.
Tried starting up in 'Safe Mode' with shift pressed but using wireless keyboard and mouse wasn't sure if keyboard is recognised until Mac has fully booted. Tried switching to conventinal wired keyboard and mouse but still nothing - it's as if the keyboard isn't being found as the light on the Caps lock doesn't work while attemping a boot up. Does it matter where the keyboard is plugged in? Mac or monitor?
I can only think to take it in to Apple for repair but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would be very grateful!

Hi-
The 2.5GHz machine is liquid cooled.
Open up the tower, and look for signs of leakage:

Computer will start up at white Apple screen then shut off.

I have an older Mac Book Pro that I start up and hear the chime and white Apple screen. There is a small turning dial below the Apple showing it is "thinking" before start up. After a minute or so it just shuts off. I have over 5000 pictures and 4000 songs that I havent backed up.
HELP!

If it is over 4 years old, replace the PRAM battery.
If it is under 4 years old, try the data recovery techniques on my FAQ*:

Starting up in black console screen

My PB has just started booting up into a black screen. I get the grey Apple logo then the start-up progress bar - which seems a little quicker than usual - and then after a few moments of a blank blue screen, it goes to a black screen with the following text:
Darwin/BSD (localhost) (console)
login: Feb20 18:44:14 localhost mdsyncServer[190]: Could not create DiskArb session or approval session.
Feb 20 18:47:15 localhost mDNSReopsnser: mDNSPlatformSendUDP sendto failed to send packet on interfaceID 01808E00 lo0/4 to 224.0.0.251:5353 skt 9error -1 errno 65 (no route to host) 2219651482
This last section appears again after a few minutes...having tried again to do whatever it's trying to do.
I've tried to boot from the original OS disk but no joy. I've connected to my other PB in target disk mode and was able to see the HD. I then ran Disk Utility which showed up some errors:
Verifying volume “HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.

The volume HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Disk Utility stopped verifying “HD” because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
I repaired the disk, verified it again and it came back free of errors.
I then tried the Hardware Test disk. Having selected the Test button and the right hand arrow I was left with a screen with the OSX folder and the folder with question mark alternating merrily.
I then tried the safe mode start-up without the Hardware Test disk and, having selected the OSX icon, went through the start-up screen with progress bar to the blank blue screen...and then to the black console screen.
The text on the black screen is slightly different now:
Darwin/BSD (andrews-powerb) (console)
login:
I'm all out of options now as I have no idea what to do past this stage. What's my login etc.
Is this an OS problem or a HD problem? Any thoughts anyone?
Thank you in advance of your replies.

Check out the information from Mike Coniff in this discussion topic for a possible solution. If you are unable to succeed then you will have to reinstall OS X. If the drive is OK you can do this using Archive and Install which does not erase the hard drive:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

30GB ipod freezes at black apple screen.

Alright, i don't know what the deal is with this thing. I've had it for maybe 2 months. And it just started acting up within the last two weeks. At first there was about a 5 second lag when trying to skip between songs and/or executing any commands. And my laptop didn't want to recognize it (running Windows XP)and yes i made sure the USB hubs were on. So that was the issue for a while. So i ran the updater and updated the ipod and itunes. Didn't work. So i restored my ipod...completely erasing it. Now whether it's empty or has my music on it, it won't start. It'll just go to the black apple startup screen. I can however get it to go into Disk Mode. So what's the deal?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Regrets you're experiencing this problem.
Recommend you bring your iPod to your nearest Apple authorized repair shop and show the problem to a technician.

The mail app starts ok, connects and retrieves emails. Then the application closes. I tried a reset and a complete new installation, but that did not help. All ather apps are ok. What should I do? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.
S.

Go online on your PC/Mac anmd use the wemail facaility from your email provider to have a look in the inbox/outbox/send folders for any anomalous emails such as returned emails, large out going emails etc.
If there is a problem email stuck in there, Mail will keep crashing until it is removed.

IPod classic hung at "black Apple" screen

My 160GB Classic was hung up so I re-set (menu + center select button.) The "black apple" appeared in the screen, but will not move past that point. It appears to be hung in the reset mode.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bucky123

Did you try to reset it again?
If it resets but still gets stuck on the Apple screen, see if you can force it into disk mode after a reset...

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I'm doing a restore and deleting it keeps showing apple screen then skull apple screen and it keeps doing it that for 12 hours not. How do i fix it to stop it

i have the 2nd generation ipod touch. i wanna to restore to factory settings but i couldnt do it through itunes. So i went in the settings to rest and delete. it keeps loading the apple screen and the apple turns to a skull and keeps repeating the screen for like 12 hours or more now. how do i fix it?

The skull indicates that the iPod is jailbroken
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

IMac G4 starts up to gray apple screen progress wheel, then shuts down.

I was trying to boot to an external drive when this started. I was holding down key combinations (I think at the time it was Option-Command-Del), and the screen went black. Power Off.
Now, even after resetting PRAM and PMU, among other things, the same process occurs:
1) I press Power Button.
2) Chimes.
3) Gray screen, progress wheel. Little sound inside. Wheel stops.
4) iMac shuts off by itself.
When trying Verbose mode, I see it says "CPU Halted" the second before it shuts off.
Any ideas, masters of mac?

Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
It's worth trying the repairs several times with fsck or DU, you never know. But, more then likely you will need a more robust utility, DiskWarrior, to repair that fairly serious error. It costs a few bucks, but if your data is worth saving DW may fix it.
We always recommend users, here, have at least one backup drive. I have two bootable backups. I have had backups also go bad, so two seems safer to me!

My iphone 3g is frozen on the black apple screen and wont start back up

It was freezing up when I got a text message so I held down the top button and it turned off. Now it will only stay frozen on the black screen with the apple and it will shut off if I hold the top button and the circle button and will not go any further. What do i do?

try connec to computer and run iTunes.

What to do when my Macbook air won't load from startup. It hangs in the middle during the black apple screen at the beginning

my Mac book air will not start up it hangs in the middle of the status bar when I turn it on and will not move.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start 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 the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
