Doesnt want to reboot. loading bar stays half way

i just recently updated to Yosemite update and it installed properly and everything was working.
i rebooted it because it was a bit slow and when it rebooted it doesn't want to fully reboot. I input my password
and it accepts it but the loading bar stays at half way and doesn't want to boot up. I've kept it there for hours and
it doesn't change? what do i do?

Yosemite: boot hangs at 50% percent

    After updating to mavericks, facebook will only load once in a while.  The blue bar goes part way and just stops and does nothing.  Never had this problem before. So far facebook is the only site I have had a problem with.

  • My ipad has been disabled and off for a year and it doesnt want to turn on is there any way i can restart or turn on?

    My ipad has been disabled and off for almost a year already i want to restart my ipad but doesnt want to charge is there any way i can make my ipad turn on or restart i alreaady tried charging it for acouple hours and clicking the middle and top button at the same time but it still doesnt work.... is there any other way to restart my ipad?

    You don't just click the home and sleep button, you have to hold them down for at least 10 seconds while it is connected to the charger. If it comes awake (and it could take several tries) ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo and then let go of the buttons.
    But that may not work. Polymer Ion batteries need exercise, a full power cycle is recommended once a month. Your battery may be dead.

    OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
    I suggest you need to erase your drive and reinstall OS X. Be prepared for the possibility that your hard drive has failed.
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

    I play any films on my ipod but it stops play half way and goes off. It seems the battery caused the device to switched off. Music is great to listen too but, do I need to replace the battery? And how much will cost to replace from the apple shop?

  • I play farmville but since the update of 5.0 I go through all the phases of sending gifts, etc but when I get to the final page - it shows just the loading bar all the way to the max but never goes to my farm. Have to get on IE to play - sad face.

    That's all the detail I have

    I turned off the accelrator months ago. That was the first thing I did. It helped some. The problem is getting progressively worse, so it seems like every upgrade in the past 3-4 months is causing the problem.

  • Weird installation freeze half way on iMac

    This is weird - I started the installation of Yosemite and the computer restarted. It began to boot and displays the apple logo and a loading bar (currently half way completed) but it's been like this for hours. Strangely if I use iTeleport to access my iMac remotely, it says my computer is available but when I log in it just shows a blank screen. I also got a message on my iPhone saying that my iMac has linked to my iCloud account.
    What should I do?
    Thanks in advance,
    R

    Restart your Mac, with the Shift Key held down during start-up (Safe mode), go to System preferences, Users & Groups, go to 'Login Items' tab near top-right of window, and highlight all items and hit the ' - ' button to remove them. You may need to click the padlock bottom-left and enter your system password, to make those changes. Restart once you close the window, and see if this gets you past the stuck loading bar on start-up.

    This doesn't work for everybody.   Case in point:
    How many of you use the gaming NICs from Bigfoot Networks like the Killer Xeno Pro and so forth?   You can type: netsh winsock reset   all you want, but when Windows 7 reboots, you get a message box saying the "LSP needs to be reset.  Do you want to do this now?"
    If you say NO, it will keep popping up and annoying you until you do.   In the meantime iTunes Store loads perfectly.  Once you allow that message to reset the LSP, the iTunes Store no longer loads.   I have brought this up with the people at Bigfoot Networks by putting in a trouble ticket...for whatever good it will do.  
    These NICs are supposed to be fine tuned and tested for online gaming and I've never had an issue with it until now.  My iTunes has always loaded just fine with it before iTunes 10.5.   So, maybe it's an issue on Apple's end as well.    I just wanted to post this an let everyone who owns these cards know what I found.
    Thanks.
