Apple at startup... but nothing else.

When I startup our Mac Mini server I get an apple logo. Eventually the gear appears underneath it and then all I'm left with is the apple logo again, and there it stays.
I've tried shutting down and restarting while holding down the d key. The results are the same.

The repair did not resolve anything.
An attempt to download the OS X Server software failed on numerous ocassions due to Apple's iTunes not accprting my Apple ID.5 calls to Apple Care did not resolve the issue. I figured out a workaround and we're back up and running, this morning!

  • Linksys Router Slowing Apple TV Downloads, but Nothing Else

    So here is my problem.
    I have very fast cable modem broadband (16/2). But Apple TV HD content seems to download at less than 1Mbps.
    My system is cable modem (Scientific Atlanta) to Linksys WRT54G (broadcasting on channel 6; no significant strong nearby WiFi signals) wirelessly to Apple TV / Powerbook G4 /iMac (with WPA security).
    If I run download tests of 100MB files, I'm clocking over 10Mbps most times, clocking about 6-8 Mbps during primetime hours. Yet no matter what time of day, Apple TV HD downloads clock in at about 1Mbps.
    At first I thought Comcast was to blame (see previous thread). But I've ruled this out by connecting the modem directly to the Apple TV via ethernet, and then getting extremely fast downloads. I've also connected the Apple TV via ethernet to the router, and achieved extremely fast downloads.
    So the problem appears to be in how my router communicates with the Apple TV. I've read in these forums that changing the "multicast rate" on an Apple router improved Apple TV performance, but there is no such setting on the Linksys. The only thing that comes close are the settings for "basic rate" and "transmission rate" neither of which make a difference. There is another option to disable the "filter multicast" function, but as far as I know Apple TV is not multicasting in the way that say an IPTV service like BBC's does.
    So I'm at a loss. For now, I'm just leaving the router plugged into the Apple TV via ethernet, but I'd rather (for other reasons) go in wirelessly.

    Linksys, eh???
    In the router's setting, try disabling "IPS" if your particular model has that feature.
    When I upgraded my service to 30/5, I was still getting only 10/4 BEHIND the Linksys router (but 30/4 direct from the modem). So somehow my Linksys RVS4000 was restricting, or not processing quick enough. Disabling the IPS function solved my problem. (But since Linksys uses IPS as a security feature in a proprietary manner, and I don't like to be unprotected, I've since gone with a D-Link router that's safer and faster...)

  • I know my apple I'd but nothing else

    I remember my apple I'd but don't know my rescue email my password or my security questions. What do I do?

    Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset the account's password and security questions.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    When they've been reset you can then check (and/or change) what your rescue email address is set to for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

  • My apple tv stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote I see the signal gets to the Apple TV because the little light flicks but nothing else happens. Anyone know how to fix this??

    My Apple TV suddenly stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote the light on the apple tv flickers but nothing else happens. Anyone know how I can fix this?

    I had the same problem; Apple TV was working proper then for no reason I got the continuous blinking front LED.  The Apple TV has no sound or video output at all.  I tried reseting the Apple TV via my Apple remote controller but that didn't do anything for me.  I finally called Apple and they told me that the way to fix my box is to reset the Apple TV to factory default.  So I had to attach the Apple TV to one of my Apple computers and launch iTunes.  Once iTunes was running it recognized my Apple TV and I clicked on the option to restore to factory default.  After the restore my Apple TV now works properly.  My final action on the Apple TV was to sign into my account and enter my password.

  • When I power up my mac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds of powering up the screen goes dark. Yet I still can the mouse arrow but nothing else.

    When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?

    Try this from another user:
    1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
    2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
    3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
    4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
    5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

  • My iphone 4s got wet and shows the apple logo when charging but nothing else?

    When i hold the home button in and its on charge the apple logo will appear for 5 seconds then go but nothing else, with out being connected for charge nothing happens.

    It's water damaged. It is not in warranty. The warranty was voided when it got wet.
    The replacement phone will inherit the balance of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.

  • When I turn it on the apple appears but nothing else happens??

    I have Ipod touch when I turn it on the apple appears but nothing else goes on help??

    What happens if you try a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If its still stuck at the Apple logo, try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.

  • Hard disk turns on but nothing else

    Hello, I'm a teacher running a lab full iMacs and I have one giving me problems. When I press the power button I can here the hard disk (or something inside) start running but nothing else happens; no start up tone, no display, nothing. So far I have tried putting the install disk in and holding "C" but this gave me zero response and now the disk won't eject. I have, if I am remembering the terms correct, tried reseting the the SMU and SMC and still got nowhere. Any help someone can give me would be greatly appreciated!
    God bless!

  • I can print a test page from my Mac to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 but nothing else will print

    Hi - I just recently had a hard drive crash and had to revert to an old Time Machine backup on my new hard drive to get my Mac back.  Since getting back up and running I have been unable to get my Officejet Pro 8600 back online.  My computer is wired to the wireless router but the printer is running wireless.  My computer can see the printer just fine and I can even print a "Print Quality Diagnostic" report from my Mac to the printer from the HP utility.  But nothing else will print.  The firmware is up to date.  I have tried resetting the printing system multiple times, rebooting the machine, etc... Nothing works.  Any help would be appreciated.  
    If it helps, we were using a different printer the last time the time machine was backed up, so when we used that backup the old printer was showing, but I reset the printing system, so it shouldn't matter.  
    Thanks for your help!  

    Hello @Ryan221,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see your hard drive recently crashed and now you are not longer able to print to your HP Officejet Pro 8600. I see you have reset the printing system with no success. Let's try a different approach:
    Scrub/ Uninstall
    • Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
    • Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
    • * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
    • Click uninstall.
    Reset Printing System
    1. Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
    2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
    3. Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
    4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
    5. Type the correct Name and Password.
    6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
    Repair Disk Permissions
    1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    2.Double-click Disk Utility.
    3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
    Restart the printer. Now you can download and install the printer software and install it. Click on the link below to begin the download and follow the on screen instructions:
    HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8
    I hope this helps, please let me know the outcome!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes there are quite a few similar reports at the moment, I haven't experienced the problem, yet others in the UK have, so we're not quite sure what criteria determines whether you are affected by this. I haven't seen any solutions so far, so it may just be a case of waiting to see if it's repaired or whether the rest of us are going to see the same thing.

  • I cannot open itunes on my mac.  The Icon jumps, but nothing else happens.

    Boot from your Snow Leopard install DVD, run Disk Utility and run Disk First Aid.
    Reboot.
    Then Apple menu > Software Update.
    Then reinstall iTunes.
