Been trying to fix spinning wheel for over a week HELP!
My Snow Leopard IMac has been stuck in spinning wheel mode forever I have used utility to verify permission and to repair disk but no matter what each time I start the computer I get a message that Firefox hasn't logged out because there is a script running. It asks if I want to stop the scrip but whenever I move the mouse to say yes it just starts the spinning wheel again and I have no control over the computer at all because moving the mouse just wakes up the spinning wheel.
How can i get my computer back please?? Thanks if you can help with this FOREVER problem?
I will try those --- I would say that I did try to start it earlier today with the Shift Key held on startup which I guess is supposed to be SAFE MODE? anyway - the same thing happened in safe mode, the endless spinning.
I don't understand Safe Mode or what it is supposed to do but it didn't do anything in my case.
I will read your links and hopefully be able to figure this out.
Is there any way in terminal that I can figure out what is making this spinning thing?
For a long time when i tried to start my computer it would always say You were not logged out because Firefox was still running or something along that line and I had the spinner but it would quit - This was going on for a month or so at least prior to this problem

Been trying to fix a Curve for 2 days now... any suggestions?
Hey all,
I've been searching forums and the internet for many hours and have tried every trick I've come across, but so far no luck.
I've got a Curve that won't boot up. After about 10 seconds of the white screen with the hourglass, I get an error saying "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException", then "App Error 200". Won't boot to the OS.
I've ALREADY tried using the app updater in DM with and without the battery, javaloader.exe with and w/o battery, JL_Cmdr with and w/o, BBSAK with and w/o. The problem is I can't get the computer to recognize the BB.
It seems like in all of the other posts I've read people have gotten their computer to recognize it long enough for it to be wiped and reload the OS. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried it on two different computers.
I'm wondering if someone has any other tips or tricks to get it going again. Or possibly if anyone that's fixed this before can give me advice on how they got it to work.
I would really appreciate any kind of help on this!

Can't seem to finish a movie on AppleTV. It just stops in the middle of movie and returns to menu. Try to check for rentals under settings like it says to when we try and download movie again and all I get is a spinning wheel. At least the second this has happened in the middle of a movie. Beginning to think AppleTV is junk!
Hello Pauljfield,
You may want to report the issue you've had with your rental to the folks in our iTunes Store.

My imac won't load properly and gets the spinning wheel for everything!? Help!
HI everyone,
hope hope someone will be able to help.
My imac freezed up the other day for no apparent reason. I couldn't do anything apart from move the mouse. So had to shut dow with the power button.
When it restarted I was able to log in as usual to the user that I normally use. Yet when I went to click on anything I get the spinning wheel of death! I've rebooted in safe mode but this didn't make a difference. I can't even run disk utility to check if there is an issue with the drive!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks charlotteSounds like maybe the Hard Drive is failing or has failed.
1. Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.) Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
If you can not see the Mac OS X volume (Macintosh HD) in Disk Utility while started up form the Install Disc, then you will need to make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP and have them help.
If you have a good backup in place, then you can easily restore the new Hard Drive from backup. If not, then depending on what is wrong, you may or may not be able to recover your user data from a bad Hard Drive. -
So, I backed up my iphone 4. Set up my iphone 5, pressed sync and it did its job. However, its seems to have synced everything except my photos and text messages. Basically the most things I use on my phone! Ive searched for solutions all over the internet, tried them all and still no luck. this is driving me crazy, been working on it for hours now. someone please help!
Much appreciatedYou do not sync text messages.
Did you restore the iPhone 5 from a backup of your old phone?
If not, do so to put everything back. This is assuming you want/need you sms messages.
Pictures should already be on the computer, then they can be synced to the device. -
Why can't verizon tell the truth and fix my DSL for over a week
On the 10th of January, I contacted Verizon Tech to let them know I had no DSL (the phone had previously been out, but I had had DSL). They told me to wait an hour and restart the modem. I did that to no avail. I continued contacting them and they kept telling me there was an outage or the problem was my modem or such. I tried to tell them that whatever repair they made, disconnected my DSL. They sent a new modem, they sent a technician on Thursday -- still nothing -- called and was told they were replacing the PSA and it would be up by Saturday -- called Saturday, was told the replacement part did not function and they had a new part which would fix it by Monday. Called Sunday, was told problem was fixed on Saturday (but I still had no internet) Then they said, it was being investigated by a team in the Central office and it should be on by tomorrow -- specifically checking circuit to Central Office. Still today, no Internet (as I predicted would happen -- it's a holiday and I cannot get answers) and when I called, they want to send another Techinician TOMORROW to investigate. It has been 4 days since the last Tech came, it was 4 days from the date I initially called before they sent a Tech -- now they want to send a DSL tech rather than a "phone tech".
I truly believe they are trying to get me off of DSL since they don't want people on it (you cannot get back on it once off) because they want everyone to be on their EXPENSIVE FIOS system that costs over $50 a month versus my little $39 a month. Of course, then they'll want me to get phone and TV to "bundle" and save $ -- which means my phone doesn't work during power outages after a few hours.
How do you get to speak to someone in authority over service rather than people who are going by a book that says, "check to make sure the modem is plugged in" as though it is your first time using the system you have been on since 2005? Why is the corporate office of Verizon hiding? Where are the Vice Presidents and Manager to take charge and get things done -- out spending their HUGE Bonuses?I feel your pain. I had a technician come out twice, my moden replaced 3 times, and now my monthly cost has gone up but my internet speeds are not much improved.

my family shares one apple id among 4 devices. how do i make it IMPPOSSIBLE for my children (i pad mini and i pod touch 5) to view my contacts and texts while still sharing my apps? please help. been working on this for hours.
Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I am having a lot of trouble downloading itunes.My latest error message is that MediaToolbox.dll is missing. I have been trying to fix this for three days now .And it all started with the last update .Can anyone help?
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Suddenly no sound... Please help. Been trying to fix it for last 3 hrs.
Can someone please help me with this no sounds issue. I've been trying to fix it for the last 3 hrs. until I've reached the point of wanting to hurt it. So I'm really hoping someone has had this problem before and knows what to do.
I've checked all of my settings. Everything to do with the ringtone sound as well as alerts, the sounds it makes when you send or recieve text.. Just non of the sounds at all work. Not even the clicking sound that the keyboard makes.
I've turned it off and back on after a min or two. I'm at my wits end.
I don't know what else to do. It's the iphone 3G.Jim,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. If I could get to you, I'd hug you!! Lol.
Yes, I feel really stupid, but that's okay as long as it works now. I don't know when I did it, but that was it! I had at some point hit that switch and it never occurred to me at all to check that. In fact.. I really forgot it was even there.
If it didn't cost so much, phone would've met wall a hour and a half ago.
Anyway. Many thanks for your help.
My name is Teresa btw and it's very nice to meet you. I'm really thankful that you guys are here. I'm brand new,(obviously)to the iphone. But other than tonight, I really like it.
