Curve 9300 gets timer on screen for ten minutes at a time apps all deleted, everything closed. still....

Please help me, Im at my wits end and about to stomp on my blackberry. The last couple weeks everytime I push a button it gets the timer up. its faster to take the battery out at this point than wait for the timer. drives me nuts!
So I searched for fixes and all anyone says is to make sure all apps "close", Well I deleted all my apps and closed all the ones I cant delete.
Still happens!
I held down alt and pressed lglg and deleted the event log,
Still Happens!
Deleted everything saved on the internet from cookies to passwords.
Still Happens!
I reset my phone by taking out the battery for 5 min a few times a day
Still Happens!
What is going on here? Theres no way Im buying another blackberry if I can't fix this.
I have lots of memory because everything is deleted, Am I not allowed to have 1 app on my pos bb?
HELP!

I'm confused...the problem still happens in Safe Mode? I don't understand...

Sometimes things just fail. OS Corruption. Hardware failure. Etc. etc. etc. All are possible. We can't truly diagnose here...all we can do is conduct various processes to hopefully deduce to a most likely root cause. If you want a true and fast diagnosis, you must take your BB to a qualified technician who can examine it in their hands. We can only do so much at an internet distance.

I just deleted whatsapp. still have the same problem. its honestly faster to pull the battery before every use than to push a button.

Is there a way to reset it to factory settings?
Yes, there is a specific command for that. But it does not reload your OS, so if the problem happens to be within your OS itself, conducting that won't help.
Tell me how you'd like to proceed. Your choices are to continue with the deductive diagnostic processes we can give you versus seeking in-person support.
Let us know.

Coloured spinning wheel for several minutes at a time

Help! Whenever we try and do anything in iMovie we get coloured spinning wheel for many minutes at a time. It won't do anything without "thinking" for ages. We have imported quite a lot of footage. Have we filled up its little brain?

Which Mac do you have? How much memory is installed?

The screen of my mac gets black, while the same the youtube works normally and the buttons maintain the blue color. What should I do?? It gets over after 5 to ten minutes and I only have it 2 weeks..

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As this may be a hardware problem, make a backup of your files onto an external drive with Time Machine (if you have important files) and take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller, or contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 You will get your Mac replaced or repaired for free.

Can't get past gray screen for OS X but will boot into Windows partition.

Hi- I am really desperate for help here.
Restarted my computer this evening when Front Row wasn't able to find the files on my external HD. When it booted it went directly in to my Windows Boot Camp partition. So I restarted, held down 'option', choose my OS X disk and just got the spinning sun icon on the gray screen for several minutes. It then booted into Windows again. If I hold down 'option' again I can cut it off before it gets to Windows.
I've tried booting into a cloned HD via FireWire and same results.
I've tried booting with the install disk (c key held down) and it won't recognize it.
I've tried Safe Mode (shift key) - same.
I've booted into Single User and done fsck and and it says everything is ok.
- BUT I did notice it says further up- "BSD: rootdisk0s2, major 14, minor 2". Are these errors? If so why didn't fsck find and fix them.
I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC.
The only thing I have done out of the ordinary was an hour before I was trying to get some of my files on my wife's laptop and went into permissions on my HD and changed "Everyone" Priviledges to Read (or maybe it was Read and Write) then chose "apply to enclosed items". This change took about 20 minutes.
The computer is, of course, just over a year old and has worked perfectly up until now.
Someone-Please!!!

Tried that and it just doesn't read the disk. I've booted it with the disc already in and held Shift and also tried it with "C". The same for putting the disc in just as it boots up.
I went into Single User mode again and compared the text against what shows up on the laptop. Their are a few differences. At the very beginning of the iMac text there is:
npvhash=4095
hi mem tramps at 0xffe00000
PAE Enabled
64 bit mode enabled
-then-
Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpicomponents; use only one style.
Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpicomponents; use only one style.
-then- after "MAC Framework successfully initialized" comes this three times...
Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpicomponents; use only one style.
These are really the only major differences that I can see in the Single Mode screen.
I also have tried booting from the Firewire drive clone on the laptop but it is not an available option for booting. The disk partitions mount but have a lock in the corner and say they cannot be opened because I have insufficient access privileges.

Getting increasingly frequent system shutdown with appearance of the apple splash screen for several minutes then back to logon in the middle of using a variety of APPs or just walking on Safari.

Using an IPAD 2 running 5.0.1 is frequently shutting down in the middle of a variety of Apps and showing the Apple splash screen for several minutes. This happens occasionally at inopportune times. Once the splash screen clears it goes back to the logon screen and the App that was open is closed. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a resolution?

I don't think that there is ever a good time for this to occur.
What do you mean the Apple splash screen? You see the Apple logo on the screen?
It appears as though your apps are crashing. Have you tried quitting apps and restarting? Reset the iPad?
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

After wakeup I get a blue screen for a sec then my desktop after; normal?

Hi, I dont remember this happening before, but then who knows.
But, when I wake my computer up from its nap, I first get a blue screen for a second than my desktop appears. Is there a malfunction of some sort?

Hi poops,
I am hoping it is normal, my iSight wakes from sleep the very same way as yours...
I also access an eMac on a regular basis, and when you wake it from sleep it just goes straight to desktop in an instance, while ours go to the blue screen for what seems like an eternity but only a second or so before going to desktop. This is explained by our Energy Saver Preferences, I have my display (5 minutes) and computer (15 minutes) go into sleep mode, while the eMac lets the display go into sleep mode but computer is set to never sleep.
I would say don't worry, if it bothers you, set your System Preferences > Energy Saver > Sleep > Computer 'Never' but set your display to sleep... Good luck, Rick
BTW - I think it is a good idea not to use a screen saver

John has suggested rebuilding the Mail mailboxes. Once Mail is open, go to: Mailbox on the menu bar and select Rebuild.
As for Safari, is it opening and working if you open it before Mail and what if any Extensions are you using?
OK ... so I just restarted and opened Safari first ... no spinning ball. And I opened mail after hitting the rebuild, well, I'm missing messages from Dec. 24 - now, but it opened right away. Most messages are FB feeds, so it's not like I've lost anything important. So, initial thoughts ... John was a tremendous help, BUT, we shall see what happens when I try to open mail again ... and I'll try it first with the next restart or wake up ... so appreiciate the walk-thru on all of this!

Spinning wheel stays on for several minutes at a time, can't connect to app store

Hi I have an imac, about two years old. It has recently started freezing constantly, can't connect to the app store and the rainbow spinning wheel stays up for several minutes at a time regardless of what apps are open or what I'm trying to do. Safari will work for a minute or two then will say it can't connect, I then have to quit the app then open it back up to have it fail again shortly after. I've cleared out my cache, started it in safe mode, done the disk repair through disk utility, done virus scans and nothing has helped. It started doing it suddenly - fine one day then not the next - but I haven't put any new apps on or made any changes I can think of that might be the cause. Can anyone help?

One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.
