Black screen after apple logo please help

Hi Everyone,
I have problem with my macbook 13" 2008 model for starting. I am using this macbook for almost 4 years without a problem. I just upgrade RAM to 2G and install Lion on my macbook recently.It seem to working about one week. One of the day, i left my macbook at home without shutdowning. I am not able to wake him back after i back from my work.So, i decided force to shutdown and restart.Then, I would turn it on and it'd go to the grey screen with the Apple logo for a few seconds and then go to the icon that is a circle with a line through it.After that black out again. I have try resetting the SMC and still don't work. I noticed that my battery charger light is flashing too.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Wai

I'm trying to do that. Though iTunes wouldn't recognize the iPhone. It's just stuck on that black screen with the apple logo on it. :/

  • 4g Ipod touch is stuck on black screen with apple logo, please help!

    i have a 4G ipod touch, while downloading an app it froze and i restarted it using the home and sleep buttons. now its stuck on a black screen with the apple logo. Ive tried to restart it again, plug it into the computer and do what all the forums say but none have worked. When i plug the ipod into the computer and restart it, itll stay on the black screen for 5-10 minutes then flash to a white screen and restart itself all over again, any ideas how to fix this problem? thanks

    Well it depends if you restore from a backup or not (if you have any).  Try restoring from a backup first. If the problem still continues, then you'll need to set it up as a new iPod, meaning you would lose the content stored on your iPod including, music, videos, apps, app data, etc.
    See this article for what is included in a backup.

    And see this article for assistance on restoring your iPod from a backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Either content, such as your music, movies, apps, etc should still be in your iTunes library as well.  So you should be able to sync it back over to the iPod once you have restored it.

    - Try a reset.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • Black screen on Apple TV, please help!

    When I connect iMac (mid 2011 27' iches, OS X Yosimite 10.10) to Apple TV (3rd generation), on TV I see only black screen. Maybe it is because on Apple TV Wi-Fi signal strength is 4 of 5, but on iMac 5 of 5
    Please help!

    Hi alekss12321,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are using AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring from your iMac to Apple TV.  I know it can be worrying to only see a blank screen when something is supposed to be displayed.
    I suggest starting with the troubleshooting tips in these articles:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    There are several good steps that can help troubleshoot your Apple TV, and resolve AirPlay connection or playback issues, even if you are using AirPlay from the iMac's toolbar instead of iTunes.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Black screen after apple logo startup

    Hi everybody,
    I've been using an atv (2nd g.) for about a month but last night during the screensaver (random images) the image went black. The little led was working but no images on the tv. I then rebooted using the remote (menu -) and I can see the apple logo but as soon as the boot procedure ends the tv goes black again and I can't see any menu. I tried to unplug everything for an hour but the problem remains.
    Should i try with a factory restore? (is it possible only via itunes?)
    any idea?
    Thanks
    Massimo

    If it's not able to load and you are unable to get to the menu commands to undertake a restore then you will need to connect the Apple TV to your computer using a micro USB cable and restore via iTunes.

    Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
    If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 4s bricked after trying new update, stuck with black screen with apple logo how can i fix this

    Update bricked my 4s
    phone , stuck with black screen with apple logo .. 
    how can I fix this

    Greetings r1042,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone is not booting up past the Apple logo. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Have a great day,

  • Black Screen with Apple Logo randomly appears.

    HELP! When I'm using my 60 gig 5th gen. ipod...I listen to a song, or watch a movie and after 2-5 the song/movie stops, and the black screen with apple logo appears. It almost seems like the ipod is just reseting itself or something. I don't understand the problem.
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hello!! I had the same issue. (with the 30 Gig) Eventually, my iPod went berserk, and kept reseting over and over until the battery died.
    I did fix it. It's pretty simple, in fact. Warning: ALthough i hate to say it, you need to update to iPod software 1.1. There are several bugs with this update, see the thread with all the replys. However, it seems to be more annoyance than real issue, and 1.1 completely, utterly stoped the apple logo screen. The saving of my battery, and prevention of the resets, to me, outweighs the minor annoyances of glitches with the update.
    Glitches i've noticed: holding the menu button no longer turns on/off the back light. Some videos no longer copy to the iPod, despite the fact that iTunes can play them, and the used to copy, and are within iPod's capabilities. They are generally converted with a program other than QuickTime. There are others people hae noticed, but that's all that i've seen so far.
    Since you have Mac 10, simply do a software-update, and download all the neccessary software. Update the iPod.
    Some videos are not likely going to copy to the iPod. This is due to the update. You need to re-encode them. If you don't want to pay for QT Pro, there's a free utility to covert nearly any video to iPod format. It's called iSquint. (do a search on versiontracker.com) I've used it a lot in the last few days, and it's great! The videos it converts seem perfectly suited to iPod, despite the update! Unfortunately, there seems to be no way around the error iTunes gives you about not-copying videos due to iPods's inability to play a video without a re-encode.
    Hopefully, this will help you out!

  • MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

    Hello there.
    About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
    Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
    Bios Version: Latest
    Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
    PSU: Don't know
    12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
    CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
    Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
    SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
    CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
    Raid Card: Onboard
    Sound Card: Onboard
    OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
    Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
    So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
    I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
    I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
    Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
    Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
    EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

    Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
    Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.
