Grey startup screen on my profile, but I can access guest profile and my hardrive partition to windows?!?! I had a kernal panic after it was knocked off coffee table in my user account, now I cannot access it from safe mode or anything... :(

My laptop fell off the coffee table, and slammed shut. It then produced a kernal Panic to restart, which I did. It the brings up the user icons, mine and guest, but will not go past the grey screen with spinner on mine. It does let me into the basic safari setting I had on the guest user, AND when i press option on start up, will let me access the windows partition I have set up and all works fine.
I have tried safe mode, safe mode with display screen and the NVRAM/PRAM restarts, and nothing!
I have let the battery run completely, restarted, filled up the battery before starting.... everything.... anybody have any ideas? else I am going to have to visit a genius! grrrrrrr....
Thanks in advance!

Looks like that is what you are going to end up doing. No telling what was damaged internally.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

I dropped my iphone 4 and the screen wont turn on, but i can still recieve calls and texts based from the sounds. What should i do?

My iphone 4 was dropped on the bottom right corner, and the screen did not crack at all. The screen won't turn on, but alerts and noises come from the phone when i get a notification. What can i do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If this does not resolve the issue, take the device to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement.

The iPhone screen is all black but you can hear the alarm

HT1338 I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs. Has anyone experienced the same? Does anyone know a fix for this?

I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs. Has anyone experienced the same? Does anyone know a fix for this?

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Hi all... My user ID is Keychain Access won't allow me to access my information in my Keychain. I can't seem to fix it. What do I need to do? I don't really know how to explain it but I can access all the other keychains just not my user account

Hi all...
My user ID is Keychain Access won't allow me to access my information in my Keychain. I can't seem to fix it. What do I need to do? I don't really know how to explain it but I can access all the other keychains just not my user account keychain. Can this be fixed?
Thanks!

That is correct... I know the Admin password but the password for my keychain is not correct and I can't seem to remember what the last password would have been. Any ideas how to reset it? Maybe delete and recreate? I know I may lose some info. Thanks!

but she by this iphone from a other owner and sche has no contact to the owner
sory my englisch are not perfeckt

There is a possibility that you've bought a stolen iphone which has an iClould lock on it. The only way to remove an iCloud lock is to contact the previous owner of your phone and inform him of your problem. But you dont know who the previous owner is hence you cant unlock your phone. Do a fresh restore with itunes by connecting your iphone to your pc, opening up itunes and clicking restore. I'm not sure if that'll help, but it's worth a try. Hope I helped. Cheers

I believe Gmail has an option for Two-Step verification that may require a different password for mobile devices than for your computer.

Macbook pro ( v 10.6.2, 2.53 GHz) iSight green light constantly on from startup (even before the grey startup screen).

The iSight green light seems to always be turned on on my macbook pro. I've tried rebooting, but the light comes one even before the grey startup screen comes up. The camera works fine in Photobooth etc, full picture, unlike all of the other posts. I already reset PRAM, and it didn't work. The laptop was recently refurbished. Thanks! Any help would be appreciated.

See this article.
I don't think it's a RAM problem. It's really a corrupted file or a damaged hard drive.

I cannot access firefox. but i can access it if i use another log on name from the same computer. how do i get to my bookmarks from my log on name.

i can access firefox from a different log on name but not my own. i want to retrieve my bookmarks.

I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store

I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store, even with ios 6. A message "This app is incompatible with this iphone" appeared. What should I do?

Hi there joannelim5288!
I have found an article that can help you to troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone. The article can be found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Specifically, the first three steps listed in the article, and outlined here below, might be the most helpful to you:
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

IMac won't boot past grey startup screen

It's a 2008 intel iMac running ML and bootcamp with Win7
It was working fine yesterday then I tried to start Aperture. It bounced on the dock but wouldn't open.
I tried a restart and it just gets to the grey startup screen with the Apple logo and spinner
I can start it from an external drive and I just tried to start from Bootcamp and it starts and runs fine
I have repaired and verified the disc and it says it is fine
Something is stopping it booting into ML
Any ideas?
Allan

Thanks, I already tried most of those. I followed the other suggestions ( already failed safe boot) and when it got to " take it to Apple" I just restored it from Time Machine and it all works perfectly.
It would have been nice to fugure out why it wouldnt boot, something must have been corrupted.
I dont know if its anything to do with it, but when I got the restored system booted up and downloaded all my emails, there was an email in my outbox with no recipient field filled in but a link to some iffy website in the message field.( Something like burnt gate)
I deleted it.
Maybe my first Mac virus?

MacBook Pro won't get past grey startup screen

I have a late 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro running Mavericks. Around a month ago, maybe more, it began to sometimes completely freeze or just turn off while Inwas using it. Sometimes it would start up again, sometimes it wouldn't and would beep three times. Eventually it wouldn't start up at all and would just beep. I started it up in recovery (holding command +R) and ran a disk repair, it said the disk couldn't be repaired. I had it backed up on Time Machine so I replaced the HD and restored from Time Machine. It was fine for a couple days after that, then the old symptoms returned. I took the RAM out and replaced them with some RAM of the same size (2 chips, 2GB each) taken out of a Windows laptop that I had. Again, it was fine for a few days then started turning off and beeping. Then it would turn on but not boot up, i.e. get stuck on the grey screen with the spinning circle. I tried booting in recovery, booting into safe mode, holding option and choosing a disk; in all cases it would just stay stuck on grey screen with the spinning thing. I tried PRAM and SMC reset, no result. At one point, it got through boot up in safe mode but took like an hour to do so. I restarted from safe mode and it took another hour and booted up normally. Then it turned off again and wouldn't turn back on. I opened it up, reseated the RAM and cleaned he fans, which were filled with dust and build up. It turned on and ran normally for a couple days in which I wasn't doing much on it, just watching stuff on VLC or reading, so not really using it and clicking and stuff. Next day, I open it (from sleep, it hasn't been shut down at all since I got it to run again), and try to open Firefox and actually work; it keeps freezing and being incredibly slow, to the point where it was totally frozen and I couldn't force quit or anything. So I held the power key to shut it down; since then it's back to not getting past the grey screen, even when I leave it for over an hour. No idea what to do, anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.

You have to use Mac specific RAM chips.
You have to buy new RAM modules, I guess.
If you have extended AppleCare, contact Apple.
Best.

I downloaded 10.5.1 now I cannot open libraries from my external hardrive. They are not highlighted when I open using the Option key

I downloaded 10.5.1 now I cannot open libraries from my external hardrive. They are not highlighted when I open using the Option key

Hello, when you try Tylerdowner's reply make sure that you '''do not install Firefox using a limited Windows XP account''', you need sp2 and above in your xp.
thank you
