How do you fix a Snowball iMac freezing up?

How do you fix a Snowball iMac freezing up?
When booting up I get the white screen with the spinning blue disk and it won't move past that.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have a 2008 vintage iMac with 2.8GHz processor and recently upgraded to  OS X 10.9.5.  Soon after theupgrade the mail system started switching the senders address to another address, but same user name.  How do you fix this?

    I have a 2008 vintage iMac with 2.8GHz processor and recently upgraded to  OS X 10.9.5.  Soon after theupgrade the mail system started switching the senders address to another address, but same user name.  How do you fix this?

    Thanks for the reply,.  I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue. 
    Even more details:
    If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
    So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account.  No other accounts on the machine are effected.
    I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

  • TS1424 How do you fix a R6025 pure virtual function call error?  When I try to search for music, iTunes freezes & returns this message.

    How do you fix a R6025 pure virtual function call error?  When I try to search for music, iTunes freezes & returns this message.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • After upgrading my iPhone4 to the latest IO it no longer connects to wifi, how do you fix this?

    What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
    It's likely a hardware issue.  The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
    Use this article first:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
    If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem.  You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options.  If within warranty it should be free.  If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

  • How do I fix  it when Facetime freezes,shakes, then turns to green?

    How do I fix  it when Facetime freezes,shakes, then turns to green?

    The memory that is low is the processor memory, not the overall storage space.  Next time, before you go to that site, double tap the home button to see the task bar.  You will see the list of apps siting in the recently used list.  Most of them are not doing anything, but some of them are using up memory.  Touch and hold any one of them until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the minus sign.
    Do that every so often to help the pad use it's memory wisely.
    Some apps, and browser pages use a lot of memory, and do not give it back easily, causing what sis happening to you.
    You can also get a similar result by rebooting.  Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.

  • How do you fix the 2 to 3 second voice delay when answering iphone 5 this is with multiple carriers and its unaceptable on a phone that cost almost 700 dollars it did not happen on my cheap prepay samsung

    how do you fix the 2 to 3 second delay on hearing somones voice when answering the iphone 5 this happens on lots of  iphone 5s with differant carriers so its not one carriers problem its probably apples this is unacceptable on such an expensive phone and very irratating. my last cheap samsung t mobile 50 dollar pre pay never did this,im new in my  contract an will take the phone back if i have to put up with this for 2 years.other than that huge problem i love the phone. i dont understand why this did not get covered like the maps problem,cause its a lot of phones and its probably an ios problem.

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
    A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

    if you've changed your startup options on mac to start in windows, how do you fix and go back to mac. I can't get my mac to switch back to mac, it is like stuck in widows mode, I have tried holding down the options key upon start up and that did not fix it either.
    Please help! Thank you so much!

    The Apple drivers you install in Windows also puts a Startup Drive icon in the Task Bar. Choose that to change the startup disk back OS X.
