  • New iMac is stuck on grey apple screen after restart from Migration Assistant

    New iMac is stuck on grey apple screen after startup. It is a 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5 running OS 10.9.4. The problem occurred after a migration from my older 2009 iMac which is running Snow Leopard 10.6.6. When the restart occurred from Migration Assistant, the new computer will not boot up to the login screen. Disk utility did not solve problem. Followed instructions for a soft reinstall of Mavericks but that also did not solve problem. Any suggestions?

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • My cloud has stopped working. I tried using it and all it does is get stuck on the loading screen

    So what can I do? I just got a better phone and I am trying to restore everything on that phone but it will not go off the loading screen. I tried force stopping it and uninstalling and reinstalling it. it still wont load up. My cloud wont even log in on the desktop app

    Which phone are you transferring from and which phone are you transferring to?
    Go to the App store and download JS Backup. On your old phone start the backup app and tell it you want to transfer the content to the new phone. On the new phone you want to restore or import the info. then follow the instructions and get some coffee. It will take about 15 minutes to do it all.
    Then on the new phone save your contacts to Google so you do not run into VZW Cloud hell trying to get them back. For other content you can use JS Backup and save it to your computer (it will do it automatically with the computer app as well.
    Then Disable VZW Cloud and save yourself a lot of headache and trouble over the next 2 years.

  • Imac 5k stuck on apple logo screen after latest update

    Hi - i have a magazine deadline and a major issue:
    i've been having loads of kernel panics (see thread here Brand new imac 5k kernel panic) and having seen there was a new update figured it would be worth installing it to see if it fixed them as nothing so far suggested by apple support has helped. Once it had downloaded the update the OS said it needed to reboot to finish installation.  It got half way through the loading bar on the apple logo screen and got stuck. I left it an hour, came back still nothing. Left it another hour and it was still just stuck half way.  I rebooted into diagnostics and ran that and it said everything was fine but further reboots just get as far as halfway through the bar.  I'm now stuck as the computer was only a month or so old and i hadn't yet set up back up on it. I was still in the process of getting everything configured and over from my old machine.  Problem is I have a bunch of photos that were transferred on to it that i shot 2 weeks ago and I need them for a magazine deadline tomorrow and apple support options could only call me back on Thursday - if anyone can suggest anything i will be VERY grateful. I've already tried SMC and PRAM resets.

    I did that, a fresh OS install and it worked for about 4 hours then i got a kernel panic

  • Windows 8.1 store stuck in the loading screen after update 1. pls help me!!

    I also tried to re-register the store but still its stuck in the loading screen ! pls someone help me!!. its not working after the update 1. I can't download any apps

    Hi,
    How did you re-register store? Is there any error message when you couldn't open Store?
    To resolve store opening problem, firstly, you can try to use WSRESET command to clear store cache for test.
    Secondly, try to use APP Troubleshooter to fix this problem.

    My 2006(ish) Intel core 2duo 2.16 mhz 20"  imac wont start up, it only stays at the loading screen, how can i fix this?

    Since you purchased your iMac long before the Lion OS was released your system should have come with a set of DVD's that can be used to reinstall the OS and applications. If you can locate those disks then stick the Install DVD into the optical drive, then power on the system while holding down the option key. Your system should boot with a menu showing the bootable volumes. After a few seconds you should hear the optical drive whirr and then see the Install DVD appear in the menu. Select the Install DVD and boot the system. Once booted you will have to select your language. Normally this disk is used to reinstall the OS, however for this exercise I would like you to pull down the Utilities menu in the menu bar and select Disk Utility. You can use the Disk Utility to check whether your hard drive is OK. If it fails the SMART (Self Monitoring Analysis, and Reporting Technology) status then you will need to replace the hard drive. You should also run the 'Verify Disk' and 'Repair Permissions' options if the SMART status indicates the drive is passing.

  • Imac G5 stuck on white loading screen with gray apple and spinning wheel

    I purchased this imac from a rebutable seller on ebay. He obviously had it working before he sent it to me, and he has been helpfull the whole way through, so I am positive this computer is not junk. When I recieved it, I plugged it in and turned it on, at first nothing would show up on the screen and the fans came on. Then, I contacted the seller and he told me to hold the shift key while turning it on. That did work to some extent. Now when I turn it on, it is stuck on the white screen with the gray apple and the spinning wheel. He had just updated and installed EVERYTHING imaginable so I am positive everything is up to date. I am not sure what to do, I have researched this but I cannot seem to find an answer. Oh, and even know on the white screen the fans turn on. It is quite weird.
    Well, I hope someone can help. Thank you.

    Call AppleCare. You should not be having problems with a brand-new machine.

  • Macbkpro got stuck on the loading screen after upgrading

    I updated my macbkpro to yosemite
    It restarted and I login as usual and can see the new os
    But then it broke down and I reboot it and it just got stuck on the page with an Apple logo and a loading bar. It loads until like one fifth of the bar and stops and doesnt proceed to the login page.
    I keep rebooting and waiting but it just doesnt move a bit anymore.
    What can I do now

    @hei320 I had the exact same issue as you.
    Resetting the PRAM worked for me.

  • IPhone stuck at updating (loading) screen after ios7 update

    I updated my iphone 4s to ios7 and itunes said it was succesfully updated and it would reboot but it's been on the updating/loading screen (apple logo with loading bar) for the past 20 minutes not moving at all...is it safe to unplug and try to reboot or should i just let it sit there for a while longer?

    You should post questions about iOS7 beta to developer forums at http://developer.apple.com

  • Laptop stuck on blue loading screen!

    hi folks!
    i am in serious need of HELP! any advice wud be appreciated!
    I updated the software on my laptop to 10.4.9 about 3-4 days ago and it worked fine, however 2 days later my laptop crashes and then when i go to start it up again
    it doesnt stop loading up -as normal it would start to load with the white screen and spinning dial, which then turns to the blue screen with dial but then it stays like this!
    Ive tried attaching firewire to another mac and then using disk utillity to repair the hd, which ends with the report 2 volumes checked, 1 hdfs repaired, 1 hd cannot be repaired, so i then tried resetting the pmu, which also did nothing but reset the date and time.
    Now after reading a few things on the forums ive also tried going into single user, which has not done much to the computer that i can tell to help...im really stuck peoples! save me!

    My powerbook g4 was doing the exact same thing as yours for 2 days. After running the disk utility, resetting PRAM and PMU and running a hardware test with no results, I finally called Apple tech support tonight.
    My computer is fixed now. The Apple tech walked me through the necessary steps in this order:
    1. Reset PRAM
    2. Reset PMU
    3. Insert your newest OSX version installation DVD.
    4. Reboot computer while holding the Option key. A screen will load with your hardrive icon and the installation DVD icon. Select the installation icon.
    5. Here you will select the Disk Utility option from the menu at the top. Select your harddrive on the left and run the First Aid disk check. Let finish running.
    6. Now you will reboot again while the installation DVD is still in. This time hold the "C" key while your computer boots.
    7. Finally, follow the steps in this link to Archive and Install http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n107120
    Again, this worked perfectly for my computer without any loss of data. I hope this helps you out. Good luck.

  • My ipod is stuck on a white screen after i tried to update IOS and turns on and off by itself :/

    ok so last night im textin my sis with this app and i thought she was done texting me so i decided to update my ipod to IOS 6 and it took FOREVER just to download it idk why but anyways it said i needed a power source or a battery level over 50% so i just charged it with my wire nd wall charger. but the thing is about the wire is tht it teeds to have a problem charging it has to be in ceartain postions or shape for it to charge so when i plugged it in it had the charging icon at the top so i clicked install nd when i clicked install it said verifying update or something like that but after a couple seconds when i clicked it my sis sent me a text and i acciedently clicked lauched but eventually it shutdown to countine the update. so i waited for about 5 mins or less and i find that the little bar at the bottom froze so i shut the ipod off using the home and the power button. but then when i pressed then power button to turn it back on it showed me the apple logo then the screen dims just a little bit then the screen goes to a light blue and im like ***? so i shut if off again the same way i did the first but this time it turned on by itself and repeated the cycle untill i shut it off. so when ever i shut it off, i turns on BY ITSELF shows the logo for like 5 sec dims, then goes to a blue screen. but i tried repeating the cycle this one time nd at first it faded to white. then again i tried this time it when to blue then it changed to black very qucikly. but now i just left it on a white screen because it was the most common color of frozzen screens when i looked at gogle for answers. and now im soo ****** cuz i had just deleted alot of pics and some apps for the IOS 6 update -___-
      PLZZZZZ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELPPPP

    Yes. Restoring erases the iPod.

    You may have to do the following
    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.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help me please, my Z10 stuck on the loading screen, no data backup :(

    Hello, I was deleting some photos from my Z10 (STL100-1) then I restarted it twice or three times before getting stuck on the loading screen, it boots so slowly and it takes about 24 hr to reach 98% then stops booting when it reaches to 99% or sometimes 100%.
    I've tried to pull out the battery and wait for one week, and I've also tried to put it on a charger and wait for one week, but the problem still exists.
    I need my BBZ10 back without loosing data stored in it, I haven't made any backup and really need my data, is there any way to solve this problem

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, please try again but increase the wait time in step 4 to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.

    You already know the answer to this...like insurance, the time to take a backup is BEFORE something goes wrong.
    Good luck and let us know!
