Have a 2008/9 iMac on starting up today I have only a white screen, apple icon and a continuous revolving sun. Have tried turning off and on and disconnecting and reconnecting the power with no affect - any thoughts or advice please. Thanks Matt

If your iMac came w/system DVDs, do the following:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your DVD that originally came w/the iMac while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I was downloading the new IOS and message could not find Iphone appears in Itunes window - Now my my phone is stuck with the power symbol and an arrow pointing to the Itunes symbol, I have tried turning off my phone and turning it back on but nothing seems to work

So when you plug it into your computer, you're not getting a message in iTunes that it has discovered a phone in recovery mode?
Reboot both the computer and the phone and try again.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

I have been using 3 devices with my wireless network, and suddenly none of them work. I've tried turning off the modem and router but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I've been using iPhone, iPad and MacBook with my wireless network, and suddenly, none of them will connect. The first sign I had that there ws a problem was when I was asked multiple times to re-enter the password, but regardless of how many times I did so it wasn't successful. I've tried turning off and on the moden and router but that doesn't help. Suggestions please?

go into the routers setup and redo the setup like it have disabled the whole wifi system
how you set it up depend on the router you own consult the manual or go to the router maker's website

Every time I go to verify my iphone ID, i get the link in my email, I enter my user id and password and then i get a screen that says "SORRY, this session has expired". I have resent the link several times, and tried, turned off my phone and still no luck

Is the something wrong with the link to verify my iphone?

The only thing that Im thinking could be the issue is that I just got the phone yesterday and it started to download is06 and didn't finish. I can't resume it where I'm at right now because there is no WI FI access so I will have to wait until I go home. Maybe because the software is updating it is causing it to time out? But then again why are you having the same problem! UGH frustrating!!

Does your IPOD not turn off properly??? Does it click with the screen off?

Guys,
I know there is someone bright out there,
I have recently bought a Ipod 5g black 60gb, and the thing wont 'turn off' I believe appple call it shut down. Am i right in saying it goes to sleep, and thats it, the screen turns off, and it goes to sleep??
The strange thing is, the clicker wheel sometimes still clicks if you rub your fing over it, (screen off) and obviously pressing any button turns it fully on.
The two clicking noises are different, sometimes it sounds as if you are turning the volume up, and down, or other times it just sounds like you are scrolling through a music album list.
Apple tech support, wasnt very helpful and she suggested the 5 r's well done them, and still not working, i have found a medicore solution, and that is to put the thing physically to sleep, ie have a shortcut, to sleep on the main menu, and this turns the display, can anyone confirm whether this is the same has holding down the play button?
(would a diagnostic check pick this up)
Obviously, i am worried about the battery, because it wont turn off. I tried testing the copacity of the battery, but i cant, as for some strange reason, i cant rip (geniuine) AAC or MP3 music at the desired, level, for some reason cant hear it at all? or it just sqeulches.
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone experienced anything similar, or if the great person who invented this cool thing, is reading, please post a reply!!
Thanks for your time,
ps sorry fpr the long post!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See this for more info...
About Sleep, Deep Sleep, Hibernation, and Sleep Timer
The iPod doesn't fully turn off for a while. (Hibernation, or even more "Off", Deep Sleep).
When you manually turn the iPod off (or it turns itself off), it goes into sleep.
After you turn it off, it may still make noise when you rub your finger on the clickwheel. This may occur for about a minute. You could always activate the hold switch after you turn it off.
But it is normal for the iPod to make the clickwheel noise when you rub your finger along the clickwheel right after the iPod is turned off. It may take a minute or so to fully go into "Sleep."
Again, everything you are experiencing is normal. Read that link for more info as well.

On my IPad I cannot update or install any Apps. Ive tried turning off my IPad. It did not help. The Apps are stuck saying Waiting....

On my IPad I cannot update or install any Apps. I've tried restarting and that did not help. The Apps are stuck, darkened and say Waiting.... Please help me figure this issue out.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

TS1398 I have connected my iPad 2 to my Mac Air over blue tooth. Booth say they are connected to each other. But I can not access the internet on the IPAD. I can connect over blue tooth from my iPhone to my iPad with no issue. Any thoughts? Thank you

I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
Does anyone know if you can fix this?
THank you

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

I have a new email address and was successful in changing that information on line but my phone and iPad does not recognize the new address and I cannot update anything. It also does not accept the password associated with the old email address/Apple ID

I have a new email address and was successful in changing the information online but cannot change it on my iPhone 4S or iPad. When I try to fix the problem it requires me to create a new password and now I can't remember that either.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Start up stucked in white screen w/ apple & scrolling cursor.

Start up stucked in a white screen w/ apple logo & continous scrolling cursor. After just pretty much staying that way, display would intermittently go off for a bit then startups & does the same behavior over again. 2008 13" MacBook Pro on OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard). Tried some basic troubleshooting i've read from blogs but noo luck! Except for the 'Force Shut Down & just holding Power button while removing battery' option... does this have bearing in my case? Thanks!

I recently purchased FaceTime from the Application Store. After approx. ±10 meg, the application resets and starts downloading again. I have tried to download it at different times of the day but with the same results. I have been in contact with Apple support and have tried different options with the same result. I cannot download a new Version because in my Purchased List the applicaiton (FaceTime) is still there, and because I have halted it it tells me to resume. I can’t, because the same thing is going to happen. I have tried all the various troubleshooting tips supplied by my ISP and also Apple Support with no luck. I am currently working on a IMac OS 10.6.7. Has anybody got any ideas? Any suggestion would help. Thanks

As I said, I tried everything what the manual says, but hard luck. I have taken an appointment for today, lets see what happens.
Also there is no activity on unit when I use the remote. The unit is stuck on the first page itself where we have to choose the language. The unit seems to be fine to me but the real problem is remote does'nt have activity. The IR is not responding while pressing any of the button.
Good luck with your appointment.
Not much consolation but even new products can have issues and might need a trip to a store to return/replace.
The reason i asked about the LED on the AppleTV is that occasionally it thinks it's paired with a specific remote and ignores others - the unpair keypress I described is quick and free.
