Endless Loop at Reboot

My iPhone is stuck in an endless loop when it tries to reboot. I see is the Apple logo on the black screen with the spinning clock below it for about 5 seconds, the screen flashes and then it starts all over again. I'm able to get to the yellow "connect to iTunes" icon, but restoring the phone doesn't help. I've seen some posts that suggest this problem occurs when you try to hack your phone, but I haven't anything at all to the phone. Any suggestions? Thanks. - Chris

If you haven't applied any hacks and you are stuck in an endless reboot loop despite restoring from recovery mode (when the yellow triangle with "Please Connect to iTunes" shows on the screen), then you will need to send your iPhone in for servicing. There is no other fix.

Just downloaded iOS6. My iPhone is in an endless loop switching from Apple logo to sign in screen. What do I do?

The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

Endless loop on iMac after OS update, wont recognise wired USB mouse

I just installed an update on my 2010 iMac, running 10.7.5 and it completed successfully, but now I am stuck in an endless loop on startup. The dialog that shows up over the startup screen (user icons showing up correctly behind it) is from the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and is titled "Bluetooth Mouse or Trackpad Setup". Its telling me there's no wireless mouse or trackpad connected, which is absolutely true. I prefer wired mice and don't use a trackpad with my iMac. There is a Logitech USB mouse attached that I've been using for a long time, it worked fine immediately before the update. It was plugged into my Apple wired keyboard, but I've also rebooted with it plugged into the Mac directly thru a USB port on the back. Same thing both ways.
Its now looping endlessly, saying "Attempting to connect with mouse #1 (hex code follows in parentheses)", then it says "No wireless mice or trackpads have been found. Make sure your wireless mouse is discoverable", then it goes back to the attempting to connect, and so on...
Anybody got a way out of this??

Wow. Would never have believed that was possible (that's why I didnt consider it...). It appears that indeed the software update itself fried the mouse. The same mouse whose last click was to click the "Restart" button on the software update dialog. A different iMac won't recognise it either, and the mouse from that Mac breaks the endless loop from the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. Looks like I need to find a new mouse, I wonder if I can still find one with a wire...
Any thoughts on whether this was pure blind coincidental failure, or is there some way a restart itself could damage a mouse somehow??? Hard to imagine the software did it per se, so perhaps it was one final reboot that broke the camel's mouse's back?
Thanks, Linc.

Accidental Endless loop on button

After much ado, I have finally gotten the customized submit by email button to work on several forms. I added to a new form and now I have somehow created an endless loop and I cannot figure out why. What I did:
I added a regular button (not the submit by email button). Under Object/Field I selected Submit. Under Object/Submit, I selected submit as pdf. I need to capture signatures on a form that will be audited down the road.
Then I added scripts. I used java script, run at the client.
Then I added under PreSubmit* the following language:
var strToAddress, strCCAddress, strSubject
//Capture the values from the form fields.
strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;
strCCAddress = txtCCAddress.rawValue;
strSubject = txtSubject.rawValue;
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ strToAddress + "?cc=" + strCCAddress + "&subject=" + strSubject,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
I checked this with the other forms which are not creating endless submissions and I cannot see that I did anything differently. Can anyone help????

Windows Update in Endless Loop of 'Installing updates" and "Undoing changes" on New Windows 8.1 Pro Install

I am setting new Windows 8.1 Pro computers, and am installing Windows 8.1 Pro to bare drives. Everything goes fine until Windows Update starts installing updates, and then the computer goes for hours installing updates, and then "We
could not complete the updates Undoing changes". It's an endless loop. It seems to be the same 38 updates. This is a recent phenomenon. I have not run into this until the last week or two on several new computer installs.
Again these are brand new installs, so something is clearly wrong with the Windows updates.
If anyone can please tell me how to avoid this, it would be much appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
" This is a recent phenomenon"
Have you made any modifications to the machines ?
To resolve this issue ,running the built-in troubleshoot tool is a very good beginning .It will automatically diagnostic the windows update components and check the configurations for us .

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Ai

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air. It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low. I stopped and tried to delete LR files. I couldn't do it. I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR. I contacted Apple. They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them. I have several back-ups. Thanks - Arthur

This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

Pop up states i'm being directed to a phishing site and to call "this" number, after I click on OK it just keeps popping up again and will not let me out of an endless loop

I am in an endless loop on my other iMac computer. I happened upon a page where it said "phishing site ahead" and then a pop up comes on screen telling me to call a certain number and then I click okay and of course do not call and it will not let me out of this endless loop. Shut down computer, quit Safari, but when I reopen Safari it still takes me to that same page and will not let me out or use any menu items or toolbar items. Just the same little popup box telling me to call a certain number with an OK button and I can't go anywhere or do anything on Safari. What can I do?

Also I copied this from my other computer web page:
Reported Phishing website ahead. Your network ha been monitored. Your network has been compromised due to Browser hijacking.The browser hijacking software may redirect you towards phishing websites that try to access your Login Password details. To fix this browser redirection issue we recommend you ask for instant help. Help Line 1 877 899 1824.
Then another smaller popup window pops up
http://www.pcassists.info
Security Error
Call Helpline 1877 899 1824
So this is what I was talking about, and the small popup window plus the larger Window stating "Reported Phishing website ahead" will not go away and I cannot use Safari anymore even after I shut down my computer, disconnected it, and then signed on again and reopened Safari, it still takes me to that page and I cannot get out of it.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Mac 10.6.8 ical "server responded with an error" endless loop

I get an endless loop. "The Server Responded with an Error "--click OK. Next window "The Server Respnded with an Error"--whether click "go offline" or "return to server" takes me back to first window, ad infinitum. Can't change anything on calendar; cannot access ical Preferences. basically cannot do anything except Force Quit, whether logged into my account or my wife's [registered to my wife's yahoo! email].
Also cannot synch calendars now between imac, iphone, and ipad like we could in beginning. Using 10.6.8 because some of my peripherals not compatible with later.
This problem just started a couple of days ago [the server problem freezing the calendar, it hasn't been working properly for awhile and the calendar synch was lost when a friend upgraded the iphone software.]
What can I do to restore 1] the functionality of the ical? and 2] synching the imac, ipad, and iphone icals?

I read another response to a similar question posted a couple of years ago. I turned off the Wifi, restarted iCal offline, and that eliminated the message. However, as soon as I turned on the Wifi the message again appeared, the app froze requiring a Force Quit, and the game is still afoot. NO SOLUTIONS ANYONE?

How do I enable my new device with an existing ID - I do not need to change the password for the millionth time!
None of the FAQs (or the Community choices below) address new devices, they are all about APPS and iCloud stuff.

If it is an existing iCloud ID, you should be able to just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with it.

Is there a way to create an endless loop of one playlist?

I have a playlist where I would like to create an endless loop. Is there a way to accomplish this task? Software Version 1.2.
Someplace I read about going into Settings and down to "repeat" and selecting "all." The settings on my iPod Nano does not show "repeat" in the Settings.

Start your playlist and tap on the screen while the song is playing. Tap on the repeat symbol showing on the screen then select the repeat list symbol on the left hand side.

Premiere Elements 12 endless loop of "Sign in Required' popup

I received a license (Volume Licensing serial number) for Adobe Photoshop and installed. Whenever I try to use the editor, I get in an endless loop of "Sign in Required' popup. I sign in with my Adobe ID, and then nothing happens. Chatted with Adobe with no resolution. Our IT folks thought it might be a firewall issue, but it is not. Been struggling with this for over a month, and need to use the product.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks.

I have a macbook pro 13" 2011, When my computer boots I get code on my boot up screen and then my computer shuts off and then restarts. Its an endless loop, as my computer tries to boot up.

I have a Macbook Pro 13", that was purchased in 2010-2011. So randomly yesterday, when I boot up my computer I got to the boot screen, then code popped up on my screen. ** I have attached an image of the code below.** But after the code pops up, my computer shuts down, and tries to boot up again. This is an endless loop and doesn't get passed the boot screen. The code shows up everytime.
I personally believe this might be a software issue and not a hardware. Please feel free to shoot out any ideas or a translation of what the code is referring to.
THINGS I HAVE ALREADY DONE:
- Reset the PRAM by holding CMD+Option+P+R
- Gone into Safemode and tired to verify the Harddrive.
- Please don't comment saying, "take out the battery." , "hold the power button for.." , None of that sh#* works.
Below is three different links for the same image. (just in case, **** breaks).

What happens if you boot holding the command S keys down?
If it stays running in single user mode
try the command
fsck -fy
You could try holding the option key on bootup, to see if presents you with a startup disk however
It looks as if you need to reistall the OS.

Developing: Endless loop in Adobe Bridge with and Adobe Drive CMIS Connector

Hi
Currently I’m implementing a CMIS-Server for the dam system of my company, using the apache chemistry framework. One of the main requirements is that adobe drive works with it.
At the moment I implemented only the navigation services (getChildren, getObject, …) and the repository services and test them against adobe drive. It’s already possible to navigate through folders and read assets with ad4 and the finder. So 3 days ago I installed adobe bridge (CS6) and test my server again.
My test environment is very easy.
root(1 object)->test1(0 objects; empty)
First I’m opening my repository with adobe drive and then I switch to bridge and connect it. Bridge shows me the folder test1 with no errors. So I double-click it and now bridge is in an endless loop. The notification switch between ‘Keine anzuzeigenden Elemente’(No elements to show) and ‘Einen Moment bitte, die Suche läuft …’(Searching, please wait …). This only happens in bridge. When I open the folder with the finder it just works, without the loop.
So I logged all requests, which were send by adobe drive, and get this list.
Connecting with adobe drive
getRepositoryInfos
getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes
getTypeDecendants (cmis:document)
getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes (Why two times?)
getTypeDecendants (cmis:document) (Why two times?)
getRepositoryInfos (Why two times?)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden) (Why so often?)
getObjectByPath (/DCIM)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
getObjectByPath (/.Spotlight-V100)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel) …
Open the Cmis repository in bridge and doubleclick the repository
getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
Then I double click the test1 folder
getObject(cmis:folder,127)(test1)
getChildren(cmis:folder,127) -> empty list
… (endless loop)
I already checked getObject and getChildren against a reference implementation (FileShare Repository of apache Chemistry) and it returns exactly the same structure. Only the name and the timestamps are different. So my second though was to check the repository capabilities and as well they are both equal. Now I’m a little bit desperate because I spend already 3 days in try and error bugfixing but nothing worked. So here are my questions.
Is there a logfile for bridge because I thing this refreshing happens after an exception. I already checked the adobe drive log and it contains only asset not found errors for (e.g mach_kernel …).
In which circumstances does bridge reloads a folder?
Debugging of adobe drive: I already read http://forums.adobe.com/message/3928595 but it doesn’t work in AD4 any more, I only get info/error/fatal messages.(I changed the log4j config files in AD4ServiceManager.) Does something changed or did I forget something?
Why does AD4 make 2 or more times the exact same request? (Look table above).
I hope my English is good enough to understand.
Thanks

After two months I'm a little bit smarter so I can answer some of my question by my own.
No there is no logfile for bridge, but I was able to debug the scriptcode from the ad plugin, which is installed in bridge.
If an error occures in the plugin
I was able to decompile the cmis connector. That helps a lot when ad logs with weird exceptions.
Because AD maps the actions of the filebrowser(finder,explorer) to cmis and this one does sometimes the exact action two or more times.
Unfortunately is wasn't able to fix my main problem, but I found a workaround to use cmis in bridge. I deactivated the ad plugin in bridge and after that action, bride display the cmis volume as normal volume. Sadly some actions like to manage relationships etc. are with this workaround not usable but for me this is alright.

Firefox goes into an endless loop with blue circular cursor at various times when trying to load a file.

Firefox hangs up at times when I try to download a file. The hangup is evidenced by the Windows 7 spinning blue cursor going into an endless loop. The only way out if it is with "ctrl/alt/del". Sometimes I can cancel, and Firefox will be normal again, and other times I have to go on into "Taskmaster" and stop the process.

Similar problem. An Email includes a URL, clicking on brings up a message including "click here" to link to an additional site.
This bring up either the Windows7 rotating cursor and/or the message "stopped".
I copied the "click here" address (another URL) and pasted it into the IE8 browser, which succeeded in displaying the information. It worked, to my surprise but it is clumsy. Do I have to remove Firefox (3.6.6) and use only IE8?
Another system on my home network, using XP Home SP2, and FF 3.6.4 works fine in the same circumstances
