HELP! MacBook won't log in or do anything?

Yesterday I was on my MacBook doing a video chat with my friends, moments later I got that ball of colors spinning and everything begun to freeze up. I tried to force quit everything but it didn't work, so I turned off my MacBook. About an hour later I tried logging on again and whenever I do it always went back to the login screen after I entered my password. Eventually I restarted it. Now, whenever I turn it on there is the apple logo there and is a circle with the loading symbol going around it, it has been like this for about 2 hours. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You MAY BE suffering from HD failure. Bring it to an Apple store to get it fixed for you.

10.5.3 Installation error, macbook won't log on

After a failed upgrade, my Macbook won't go beyond the log in screen. Please help. Thankx in advance.

"The Installer has insufficient priveleges to modify this file: C\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\WebKit.resources\inspector\images\toolbarIconsSmall.png."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Need help macbook won't come out of sleep mode

Please help I have had my macbook since may of 2006 and this is my first real problem with it.
I basically been loading videos to watch and then downloading some of the videos,once the process had been started I would leave to allow the videos to load/download but when I come back I find the macbook in a state of sleep and the only way that I can think of to getit out of this is to shut it down and reboot.
This is my first mac and up until now I was quite impressed so please help to not soil the good Apple name.
13" Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I'm a newbie so I might not answer your question, but if you leave the macbook open and it goes to sleep, then you just have to press the power button and it should turn back on. I always thought though that if you let it sleep, then you won't be able to download anything because the computer disconnects from the internet during sleep. Am I right? Lol, now I'm asking the questions.

Help, MacBook won't shut down properly!!

Hi, just hoping someone can help with the following as my MacBook is not a happy bunny. I recently reformatted my hdd and restored my system using Time machine. This was to allow me to create a new partition so I could run bootcamp. All was fine for a few weeks, buy I have noticed recently that system preferences has become unreliable and fails to load on most occasions, freezing in the process - it shows in the dock, but does not load. I have OSX snow leopard all updates, two user accounts, guest activated. I have repaired disk permissions a number of times - sometimes works for a very limited time, other times not. I have deleted the finder and systempreferences .plist files in both user accounts, emptied trash and restarted, again limited effectiveness. When the sys prefs crashes, i force quit it, then it tends to load fine next time, but 2 mins later its up to its old tricks. On top of this, the Mac is now refusing to shut down - it will get to the spinning wheel phase then nothing, I have to force shutdown by holding the power button.
I've also tried disabling the guest account, but no luck.
Any ideas gratefully received as I'm worried that jts all going crash soon !
Many thanks
Rich.

Many thanks MJ,
I deleted everything you mentioned and sysprefs worked for a while but as soon as I tried opening an application e.g. mail, the first reboot of sysprefs worked fine, but subsequent ones hang. Funny thing is now the power down problem has gone away - it seems to work very quickly - I guess a function of clearing out the caches folder?
Anyway, sysprefs issue remains. Ive reported the fault to apple anonymously (have copy of report if that helps). Here are the console messages during a number of restarts and subsequent attempts to open sys prefs. If you/others need more please let me know (the last line represents me forcing a quit of sysprefs):

Help: Macbook won't reboot, can't reinstall OS

My MacBook hung in Quark Xpress 7.01; could't force quit, had to shut down by holding down power key. Since when MacBook has failed to revive. It won't restart on its own. Installer Disk 1 Repair Utility fails to find the hard disk to repair; it cannot find hard disk on which to install OS; hardware test using extended testing shows no hardware fault; any thoughts?
Dave

try to restart while pressing "option" key, and when it started, see if the screen shows 2 option (OS from HD and OS from disk).
If there is only one shows (OS from disk), maybe you have a faulty HD.
Try to reset PMU and see how it goes, and if that still fail, try to reseat the HD.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/diy/order.html
and click on upgrade the HD, but you just re-seated that not replacing it.
Good Luck.

Urgent Help Macbook Won't Start Up

Hey
Im in need of some "urgent help", yesturday i was working on my GCSE coursework, i saved and then i turned my macbook off. Later that day i turned it back on to add some finishing touches, the macbook decided not to load the OS.
It just goes to the apple logo and the circle thingy and just stays there.
I rang up the helpline but they basically said that it dosen't matter that i can't get my coursework because i don't have the extended warranty. They advised me to come here because "we are bound to have hundreds of other cases the same to your's on there" that to me say's something.
Although i will continue to use the mac if this has to go in for repair, the response is quite inconsiderate being honest. Im 15 and i can't afford the extra care.
So im really reaching out for your help here folks, it's due in next week. I need to get the file off there desperately. I've done a hardware check and everything comes up fine.
Please guys HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Try running Disk Utility, and repair permissions and verify disk. If verify disk shows any problems, boot from your install disc and repair disk.
If you can't repair the disk and get going again, you may be able to do an archive and install OS reinstallation, which will preserve your data. If that doesn't work for some reason, you may be able to do an erase and install, which will erase your data. Hopefully you have a backup.
I assume phone support works the same way in the U.K. as in the U.S. You have a 1-year warranty. If you call after 90 days, they ask for a credit card in case the problem is not covered by warranty. If the problem is covered by warranty, you are not charged.
If the problem is solved by any of the above troubleshooting steps, it is not a warranty issue. The Apple support person is probably just trying to save you from being charged for what is very possibly not a warranty-covered problem.

HELP, K8N won't boot into bios or anything. need to reset board to default

I got playing with the MB and tried HT 5x, it immediately shutoff and now won't let me into bios to reset it, so i'm waiting to hear from MSI. I tried clearing CMOS and everything, the damn thing boots on for 5 seconds and goes off. Screen stays black. Has to be turned on from PSU as power button at front won't do it.
CPU: AMD64 3200+ (230FSBx11 = 2.5Ghz)
MB: MSI K8N NEO
MEM: OCZ 3700 Gold Dual Channel (2x256 in slots 1 & 2)
VC: ATI 9800 Pro 450/380
PSU: ANTEC True 550w
Its not heat related as I've been able to run lots of tests and my case is open right now. It just won't boot at all, black screen and shuts itself off. All I need to do is get into bios to change HT back to 4x, but I can't. Any ideas to reset to default?

I tried having it unplugged for over 8hours while i was at work, tried taking the battery out, tried taking both memory out. It starts up (screen stays off) and then shuts itself off after 5 seconds still. I turn the power off, then back on at the PSU (the power button at the front won't turn it on or off) then it starts all over again.
My ABIT IC7 would reset to default it turned off and on 3 times in a row...why dosen't this board have something like that. arg. So anyone know how I can get this damn board to allow me into bios?

My macbook pro won't log into iMessage or facetime

I've tried several times to fix this issue, by deleting my keychain, unchecking the SOCKS proxy and by restarting the macbook pro, yet it won't log in to Imessage or Facetime. The box that appears says imessage was unable to log in and to check my network connection. My wifi works fine.
Apple Colombia has been less than helpful with this, they don't seem to even have an idea of what they're doing. I'm getting desperate as these are important business tools I need to use for my work. Help is much appreciated!

Ok. Found something that said to shut down and hold the option, command, p, and r keys on restart. Held them down for a few restarts and everything automatically signed in and works. Woohoo!!!

My MacBook Pro won't log me in at the log in screen

My MacBook Pro won't log me in at the lag in screen. It won't restart and it's the right password (won't do the vibrating thing that it does when it's the wrong password). Any suggestions?? I really can't do anything on it.... Command-r doesn't work and neither does shift.

You are supposed to press Command-r as soon as you push the power button to turn the computer on.
I hope I helped.

Macbook won't turn on all the way. Please help.

Macbook won't turn on all the way. At first it only showed the grey apple logo, but now it says that I need to restart the computer by holding down the power button for several seconds or pressing the restart button. I tried this already but it's not doing anything. Please help.

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.

Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

MacBook pro, won't Log in, debugger called Panic comes up, and prompts me to restart, when re-started same issue occurs

You need to restart your computer,
My MacBook pro 17inch 8g ram i7 won't log in, it says "unable to find driver for this Platform" Debugger Called Panic
This keeps coming up after re-starting it.

If remote logins are not enabled, don't know how you can do it now if you can't login.
Do the "other" Macs see the problem Mac in the list of "Devices"?
From a Terminal window on another Mac, try this:
# assume IP address of problem mac is 192.168.99.10 and the username is xxx
ssh [email protected]
If you don't know the IP address, there might be a way to figure it out depending on your network setup.
If you get a prompt for the password then give it and it should log you in. If you get a "refused" message of some kind, then you can't login. Also you will get a prompt the first time you "ssh" in about adding the RSA key to your list of "known hosts".
If that doesn't work I'm at a loss. Have you tried booting safe mode? Have you tried Recovery Mode and verify disk? -- never mind just read where you've already done this. Do you have a bad GPU and it's causing the display to do bizarre things?
