Computer wont start after apple logo shows up..
I have a friend who owns a MBP 13 Late 2012, and suddenly he explains computer after he shut it down, the gray screen shows up and apple logo too, but never enter to the OS.
I have had this problem with a 2009 iMac in the past and they told me it was a problem of humidity and or dust, and so they had to change the Motherboard.
Have any one experienced this ?
I even did the PRam reset several times with no luck, actuallu It wanted to start (get into the OS) but MBP kept with little spinning circle.
Any thoughts?
So I received the MBP, and did the Command R to get to recovery mode, and after the World spinning, I got this Message: www.apple.com/support and then -5010F ... (image 1)
Power it off and reboot it with OPTION key, and selected Macintosh, and after that the Apple logo shows up with the little circle spinning infinitely.
What do you think? Doesnt go any further than this: (image 2)

Macbook Pro wont start up (Apple logo and spinning thing all I get)
When I turn on my macbook pro I get the “tone” the Apple logo and the spinning thing but then the spinning thing just freezes up and does nothing for ever. I let it just site like that for 30 minutes then it just goes to black. It is plugged in so power is not an issue.
I tried to boot up in safe mode and again I get the tone the logo then the bar to show the safe mode then the spinning thing then nothing. I did boot it up via firewire target mode and was able to see the hard drive and all my files on my imac so the hard drive works (I think).
I do have the original install disk and am willing to start the computer fresh but have no idea how.
So any suggestions???
I also tried to turn on and run the repair mode I think that’s where I held down a key the screen went black and some commands ran then I typed somting like flvr - fv

My computer wont start after I updated Itunes
I tried to update ITunes today to the latest version. Everything downloaded and installed fine but when I when I went to re-start my computer, it wouldn't load. I get the Windows XP Screen and it sits there. Nothing happens. I tried to restore my system to last known configurations. That didn't work. Same problem. I powered down and was able to get into safe mode. I tried to restore the system to a ifferent recovery point. That didn't work, same problem. I went into safe mode and tried to uninstall Itunes but it won't let me. It says that the windows installer service cannot be accessed in safe mode. That didn't seem right so I tried to reload the windows installer but I need the windows installer to install the windows installer apparently and I can't access the windows installer in safe mode. I can't get my computer to boot up in regular mode. i need help. If anyone knows how to deal with this your help would be greatly appreciated.

HELP !! Computer wont start after i change from 133 to 166 on my FSB
Hi...
I have a K7N2G. I changed the my fsb from 133 to 166. Afterward, I have not been able to start or boot my computer (my fans are on, but monitor is not geting any output).
Thank you and greatly appreciated to anyone that can help me.
YogeHahaha yoge i fell yr pain man cos i did the same thing 3 weeks ago!! I just got my computer back from the shop on Tuesday. What happened was i managed to kill some chip on the mother board and the chip had to be replaced.
This is the story:
Amd XP 2400+,
MSI K7n2g-ilsr
400watt coolermaster
USING THE ONBOARD VGA!!!! (im a dumb F**K, i noe this now)
dual channel 2*256mb sticks (transcend & Kingston value)
I had just installed the latest bios so the kinston is
supported.
High performance settings
FSB/DRAM Ratio 1:1
The only values i had for the FSB were 100, 133 & 166Mhz so i put to 166, i pressed F10 to save and then black screen.
The power was on, the monitor was on, but the hard drive shut down shuted down. So i took a look at the back to check the 4 LED's, 1,3,4 were RED and 2 was GREEN which meant the memory module was damaged, or so it said in the manual.
Apparantly ur not supposed to overclock with the onboard VGA and it even says that in the manual (i must have skipped pass that, duh)
So yoge your gonna have to take ur computer back to the shop to get it fixed sorry to say.
I cost me $35 AUD + $55 for service charge but they oly charged me $35 for the sevice fee cos i am a regular customer.
Also when i got back my computer this week, i opened up the case and do u guys know what i found, a GeForce4 440MX graphic card!!! They gave me a free graphic card!! Woohoo
Well now my computer runs fine with no problems yet and my cpu runs at 25 degrees where as before it ran at 51 degrees. -

770-G45 wont start after ShutDown
Recently installed MSI 770-G45, problem starts when i regulary shutdown comp. from WinXP or Win7 64-bit.Computer wont start after that, like ther is no power, fans dont spin, no bips, NOTHING. I got to unplug power cord and plugg it again into psu, after that it starts normaly.
Strange thing is that computer starts normally when i manualy shutdown system(holding the power button on the case).There is no exception, starts perfectly evry time after manual shutdown, no need to unplugg powercord.
Rest of my components> Phenom II X2 555BE, Kingston 2GB 1333mhz, Sapphire 5770, HDD WD 250gb,PSU Corsair TX 650w.
Tried to change power cord, tried other PSU, other case (tought its maybe power button but no), changed mobo battery, installed several OS versions (XP, Win7) and still dont have solution.
MS 7599 ver. 2.0
Bios version 10.2
MoBo is new bought it 3 days ago.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!First: It is important to clear CMOS after a BIOS update. Unplug power cable before the clearing, as there can be no power in the system
Second: Rebuild the system, but outside the case. Use only PSU, motherboard, processor, one stick of memory and graphics card. If it works better then, you may have a short, from a stand-off too many, or poorly isolated wire somewhere.
But I second it sounds like a motherboard problem. You'd better contact the one who sold it to you.
Oh, an oldie thing! You will need to install Windows again, with the new motherboard and all. -
When playing music from Ipod in my car, music suddenly stops and message appears to restore in iTunes. After a few minutes, it starts to play again. I hear a click and the apple logo shows on the screen. Any ideas??
You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing. It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable. -
i upgraded to yosemite last week, now my computer wont start. it stops at white screen with apple logo. what do i do?
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. -

My iPod itouch when plugged into computer just flashes the apple logo otherwise it just won't start. Try to reset -nothing.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

when i try starting my IPod it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't
But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

When starting up, Apple logo is present with loading bar underneath. No spinning wheel. After aprox 1 min the loading bar stops half way and shuts down completely. Any advice appreciated.
