Has anyone seen a Blue Apple logo on the grey startup screen?

This morning I received a pop-up message on our Mac Mini that said we had to restart it by holding down the power button. The machine seemed locked, the mouse was gone, Command, Option, Esc would not work, etc. Not having any other option, I held down the power button and shut it down. After it was completely shut down, I pressed the power button again to restart it and that is when the normal grey screen appeared but the Apple logo in the middle of the screen was blue instead of the normal grey. Has anyone else seen this scenario? I'm concerned that it is an April Fools virus but have no way to diagnose it. Some details about our machine below:
Mid-2011 Mac Mini
OSX 10.7.5
Sophos Anti Virus

Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My MBA now just goes to the apple logo on the grey screen but no further

My MBA now just goes to the apple logo on the grey screen but no further... I did some updates on Office but it did not freeze on install and recently I installed Joost.
I thought about booting it from a disc but now I have a disk stuck in my MAB superdrive that I can't get out since at this stage it will not eject... it is a mess...
I am new to Mac, so I am lost...
Anybody can help me with tips ?

Installed Acrobat Reader for Mac. Rebooted and get apple logo, grey screen and perpetual blue screen, no further. I have dual systems installed and can boot Windows XP Pro with no problem so it appears to be a Mac OS problem, not hardware. Awaiting help.
_*WARNING to others who may have same problem installing Adobe Acrobat Reader and Office updates (see germmac post).*_

Has anyone seen a (complete) list of all the technologies that

Has anyone seen a list(diagram/mind map/chart) of all the technologies that make up java.
Such as beans, JSF, struts, JSP, servlets, etc....

Useless. What makes up Java is the JDK and the JRE - everything else is BUILT using Java technology. Imagine if you'd ask a list of everything that "makes up" C/C++, how long would that list be? Well the Java list might not be as long, but it is still long enough for you to not care.
Perhaps you want to be more specific. Do you want to have a list of all common web oriented frameworks perhaps?

Iphone 5s has been hung. Repeating Apple logo on the screen but not shutting down or not even restarting

My Iphone 5s is neither restarting nor it is shutting down. Apple logo has been glowing and after each few minutes blue screen is coming for couple of second and apple logo is coming repeatedly.

Hello sarahim1955,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone is restarting and only displaying the Apple logo. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and using the information within to help troubleshoot this situation.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

Has anyone ever changed an apple id on the iphone

my wife and i have been sharing an apple id and i now want to provide her with her own. since the icloud has been launched any app she downloads i get and vice versa. Has anyone ever switched out an applie id on the iphone before. does it have to be synced with itunes once to make the change happen? If so will i still be able to keep all of the contents ih her phone.

You can share iTunes content within the same household, so if you get your own Apple ID/iTunes account, you can continue to use content obtained using your Wife's account. Any app updates to apps obtained using the wife's Id must be done using that ID. Just authorize the computer for the new Apple ID/iTunes account: Store>Authorize this Computer. You can switch iTunes accounts on the phone by going to: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

TS4088 Has anyone had luck getting Apple to fix the known GPU issue on mid-2010 MPBs that are 2-3 months out of warranty?

My MBP has started shutting down randomly and seems to be related to this known issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
The problem is, it started happening right around the 3 year mark, when this offer seems to expire. It is around the same time Mountain Lion was installed and seems to have made it worse.
I brought it in to an Apple Store and the diagnostics have told me I need to replace the Logic Board which is almost $600.
It feels super unfair as this is a known issue, and Mountain Lion seems to make this issue much worse. The MBP is now 3 years 3 months, and I brought the MBP in to the Apple store about a month ago.
Anyone?

I had just read about this a few weeks ago, and was also very upset that not only had the coverage expired, but that I was not made aware that this was a known issue. I had been dealing with this issue ever since Lion and it was getting worse. I set up a Genius Bar appointment, and they decided that it was the logic board, and that because it was almost 6 months out of coverage, I would not have to pay the retail $500+, but still have to pay a discounted $310 to get it replaced. They were relatively sympathetic, but couldn't do anything more that to say that I try calling AppleCare, because they would be able to bend the rules more than the Apple Store.
I called right after I left the store. I pleaded with the first guy, staying professional but stressing that it was a little unfair for the reasons listed above. He eventually transferred me to human resources vs. his supervisor, because he said that they may be able to get me farther. I was on the phone on and off of hold for an hour, and they eventually agreed (after some internal research of their own) that it was a known issue large enough to cover the replacement for free. I was setup with a new Genius Bar appointment and got my MacBook Pro back within 2 days of dropping it off. Overall, it was a time-consuming process, but definitely worth the effort.
Now I am dealing with similar glitches, leading me to believe that the new logic board is having the same issues as the old one, but luckily it is under a 90 day warranty so I will take it back and see what they decide to do.

Problems with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4 after upgrade to Snow Leopard. Has anyone seen this?

We've just now upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and are having a problem with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4. A clip with an alpha which keyed perfectly before the upgrade, now will not key. If I convert the clip to the Animation codec, it keys perfectly. If I export the Motion project as a ProRes 4444 self contained movie, it will key when brought into FCP 7 but if I import the project into FCP 7, it will show the key in the viewer but not the canvas. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to correct this? Is it a bug?
Thanks,

Motion 4.0.3
It just doesn't seem to recognize the alpha at all.

I heard that there was a problem with Apple being vulnerable to Hackers. Has anyone seen an update for this issue? My IPad received the update last night but I have not seen anything for Safari.

Mac OS X 10.9.2 was released today for this issue and others. Earlier versions are not affected.
See this Apple article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6114
You can use the Mac app store to do the update or download it directly from here - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1725
Best of luck.

My iPad will not connect to a computer with the cable which means no updates or down loads. I have tried new cables and different computers. Has anyone seen this before?

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Possibly. Do you have other devices and will they connect?
One possible thing that it could be is that the USB port on your iPad has gone bad. It happened to mine. Couldn't sync, could barely charge (it said 'not charging' even when plugged into the wall)
I'd take it to the apple store, see if they can replicate it, and if they can, then they can diagnose it. Just back it up before you go, in case they do exchange it.

My phone keeps on looping with the apple logo after the blue screen.

I tried to up date my iPhone 5s thru iTunes and got error statin iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. Saw a video on you tube to use rec boot. So I downloaded rec boot v1.3 to try and kick it out of recovery mode and my phone keeps on looping with the white screen and black apple logo after the blue screen. I tried kicking it out with tiny umbrella and nothing happens. I was able to put the phone back in recovery mode and try using tiny umbrella while still connect to iTunes and hit exit recovery mode. under log tab it says sending exit recovery request to model # of the phone and nothing happen. My last option is to restore to factory settings which I don't want to do cause I would loose every thing. Can some one tell me I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. I would be greatly appreciate it the help. Thanks in advance.

Its looping because the iOS is not bootable which is why the iPhone booted to the ROM recovery mode. Try using iTunes 12's 'Update' option when the iPhone is in recovery mode.

Has anyone seen this display problem?

I even changed my video card and still had the same issue? has anyone seen this or know how to fix this issue?
I tried to show a screen capture but didnt have any luck but the issue is alot of my icons are showing pink lines on them and when in certain application and safari the pictures are showing up all pixelated with pink and green pixels instead of displaying the correct image? is it possible the AGP slot is bad? i just upgraded to 10.5.8 hoping to correct the problem but no luck. Also this is a Power PC 1.8 ghz.
Thank You

I wasn't notified that you asked me a question or that there was a new post on this topic. I should have been, that bugs me.
Anyhow... Mr. Ah
The problem that some people, mostly with a certain video card, were having was when they updated from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5. For many of them the problem went away when they went through the hassle of reverting back to 10.5.4.
Did you +just recently+ update to 10.5.5? If you have, then their fix is for you too, going back to 10.5.4. If you have had 10.5.5 installed for a while now, and this just started happening, chances are good that it is your video card, or perhaps something affecting it like dust and dirt like DP says above.
If you have another start up drive, firewire or internal, and you had enough space on it you might consider installing a previous OS 10.5 on there and start up from it. If the problem went away you would know it's 10.5.5. Perhaps even if you started up from your OS disc the problem might go away and again you'd know it was 10.5.5. Apple was made aware of the problem on some machines and said they were going to come out with a fix, but I don't think they ever did.
Post back and say what the situation is, especially if you just recently updated to 10.5.5.
And post back with what kind of G5 you have, look in the "About this Mac" window.
Your card may be dying, but on the other hand it might be as easy as pulling it out, blowing it out, and putting the card back in again.

Has anyone seen evidence of corrections being made to Maps?

If it was just you, then it would be understandable because Apple might be swamped with requests to correct their Maps app and they might be attending to other users' requests first.
That scenario would be awesome, because it would mean that there are corrections being made, even if they are not yours. But there is a problem. Everybody I've asked hasn't seen ANY corrections done. I hope this is not true.
So.... the question is: Can we find evidence of any corrections at all? Even one correction?
When we look at the millions... MILLIONS of user correction requests, has anyone seen a SINGLE correction done out of MILLIONS of requests. Because ZERO out of MILLIONS of requests would be very bad.
I want the Maps app to improve. I'm cheering Apple and supporting Apple. If the Maps app improves, then I would be happy and Apple users would be happy. The question is: has anyone seen any corrections??
I'm hoping there are many examples out there of people seeing corrections.

Has anyone seen this MacBook Pro 15" 2008 problem before?

Hi. My MacBook Pro has developed a fault whereby a horizontal line appears on the screen, the mac freezes then a host of vertical lines gradually appear on the screen until it is obscured. Something similar happened in May last year and Apple charged me over £300 to repair it, replacing the 'mother board'.
I have so far taken it into the Apple shop twice in the last week (a two hour round trip). Both times they have opened it, cleaned it and declared it fixed. This time it lasted about an hour before happening again, although this time at least I've been able to restart it.
Has anyone seen this before, or have any advice about how best to proceed?
I have put a video of the symptoms here:

Thanks for reading. This is my first post so apologies if I've rambled a bit!

Has anyone seen this problem? :(

Hey Everyone,
I picked the new white 30 gb ipod video up yesterday. I opened it set it up and transfered all my vids and music. Now my problem is the clickwheel. It scrolls about 200 (literally songs at a time and is not acurate with the amount of contacct i have with it. I tried resetting, and now restoring. What shouold I do? Has anyone seen this problem yet?
Anything helps,
J.Martin

Sounds like a strange HW problem. Before you return it, I'd try a Restore, resync, and check it. If it STILL does thast, you need to check with Apple Support.
