  • Wont boot past apple logo and no spinning wheel

    My macbook a1181 wont go into safe mode and wont boot from cd. The hard drive is working perfectly in my other macbook but wont boot in this one. The only thing it will do is go to the apple screen and there is no spinning wheel under the apple.

    Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

    I have a similar problem, when I start my MacBook (I bought it early 2009 and runs Mountain Lion) it gives me the option to select the user but even when the cursor moves I am not able to select any user to go on. So I am not able to log in. And my DVD drive doesn't work (this problem is not new).
    So if you find and answer, please let me know.
    Thanks and good luck.

  • My phone wont go past apple logo!!

    I had my phone on the couch and i went away and came back, and realized that it was turned off, i tried to turn it back on but it wouldnt go past the apple logo, i went to AT&T and the tech said it had water damage, and the water sensor was pink, but i dunno how it got water damage sitting on the couch plugged into my laptop.. Is there anything i can do to fix it?? Even my laptop or iTunes cant pick it up. Any ideas?

    Just go into DFU mode by pressing the sleep and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds or until your screen is black and after you do that yo keep pressing the home button.
    (Before you press anything connect iphone to computer with itunes open it wont recognize it until you are in DFU)
    After you are in DFU; in itunes press restore(this will delete all your data)
    hope it works

    thanks

    Hopefully you have charged it for at least 2 hours.
    I'm not too sure if this will work for your old model, which is earlier than 5th Gen.
    Try the DiskDiagnostic as posted by tt2, once you get the Apple logo screen, move your finger on the Menu button to the rewind button |<<

    Anyway, it is  a troubleshooting step and does not fix your problem.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

  • My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.

    Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
    Any tips are very much appreciated.

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)  Or go into an Apple Store.

  • Computer wont boot up past apple logo

    my computer has recently stopped booting up and wont get past the gray apple logo screen unless its off for a while...however when it does it just freezes up and I start this process all over again...any suggestions?

    Being that it is Lion, you have a Recovery HD that you boot into in order to run Disk Utility. Hold down cmd-r while restarting and it will boot into the Recovery HD. From there you can run Disk Utiility and repair the disk.
    You should take it in to Apple again. The odds of you getting two bad drives are pretty slim and I would imagine something else is causing the problems and killing the drives.  If you can make it through exams and still get it back to them under warranty, you might consider that. Make sure you point out that you had brought it in before and they replaced the drive. If this drive is also, bad, make sure they look for other problems such as the logic board.

  • Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

    Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

  • Ipod has shut off and only shows the apple logo and the loading screen for the past day

    I was downloading a song from one of the ipod apps for illegal songs and it just stoped downloading so i restarted my ipod and it would turn back on but if i would try to go back into the app it would only push me out of it. so after restarting it a coupld more times just with the ipod it has resulted in not turning back on and remaining on the apple logo screen then to the loading screen. it wont turn on at all. i have charged it (or tried) for a whole night but the whole night it has remained on the two screen. i cant plus it into my computer because then i will lose all my music. i dont know what to do.?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    i accidently downloaded something that made my webcam flash on spuradically even once i deleted it. when i restarted my computer it got stuck at the white loading screen with the grey apple and wont go past there..what is wrong? will applecare cover this?  my computer also slowed down drastically before it stopped working..thanks! HELP PLEASE!

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your 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 your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into 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.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot 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.
    c. 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
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot 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.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot 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, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot 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 reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your 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 reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.
