I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod 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.

  • While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

    We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing.  Never install anything if you do not know what it is.  Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
    That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick.  Although I am not positive. 
    Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed.  Hopefully, someone else will chime in here. 
    GOOD LUCK!

    WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
    Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
    The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
    If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

  • White screen with gray Apple logo.

    Could anybody help me? i bought my MacBook, about 3 months ago and never had any problems with it, 3 days ago i want to restart it after i tried to make an actuallitation... so when i did it just appears a white screen with gray apple logo, and no timer going... i look for help here in the apple discussions, and some guy seem to have the same problem... i did just what the other user recomended, i insert the original cd, while press the C key, and went to disk utilities on the bar on top, and clik on Repair Disk. When i did it appears a list of things that says:
    Verify and Repair volumen “Macintosh HD”
    Checkin Journaled HFS Plus volume
    Checkin Extents Overflow file
    Checkin Catalog file.
    Checkin multi-linked files.
    Checkin Catalog hierarchy
    Checkin Extended Attributes file
    Checkin volume bitmap
    Checkin volume information
    The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK. (Font in green)
    Then i didnt know what to do so i restarted and after that it appears the same White screen with gray Apple logo.
    If somebody can help me, i will apreciate it, Thanks.

    Your system info shows you are using OS 10.1. How is that possible if your Macbook is only 3 months old? You will need to correct the information if incorrect & insert the correct information.
    After disconnecting all periperals try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM. If that does not work try Apple Portables: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Since you are still under warranty, you can contact Apple about the problem if the solutions do not work.

  • Mac Stuck at Startup Screen with Grey Apple Logo,Empty Progress Bar and a Spinning wheel

    Last night the electricity went out and my power surge protector was not working so my iMac just force shut downed.
    So, when the electricity came back i turned on my Mac but it is *Stuck in the Startup/Boot Screen with a Grey Apple Logo,a Empty Progress Bar with stays for 1 or 2 minutes and a small Spinning Wheel which would Spin Forver! I Have tried the SMC and Pram reset but no use, i have also tried to insert my OS X Lion 10.7 Installation disk and it would not load if i hold the C Key in the Startup, I Have Managed to go to Disk Utility Through "Recovery HD"  but the Volume "Macintosh HD" is Greyed out and Unmounted and i cannot repair it. There are some files that i'd like to Recover if there is a way to fix it without deleting files.
    **PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS!**
    Details about the iMac:
    iMac 21.5 Inch i think from Mid 2010,
    OS X Lion installed maybe 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 (im not sure)

    kernel
    Grey screen with Metallic Apple and spinning gear
    Sounds to me like your hard drive failed on you as a result of the power going out.
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/
    If your iMac is a Mid 2010 you qualify for the hard drive replacement program from Apple.
    Apple has determined that certain Seagate 1TB hard drives used in 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac systems may fail. These systems were sold between October 2009 and July 2011.
    I hope I helped you with your problem.

  • Hello iphone users, I have a situation here.. I have an Iphone 4G that 2 days ago displayed the black screen with de apple logo, ive done the recovery mode over and over in diferente pcs(windoes, mac) and none seem to aknowledge the device, what to do???

    hello everyone, as I have stated above, I have an Iphone 4G realtively new, just 3 months of use. I've never dropped it, nor got it wet. The problem is that the screen just one day went black and displays the apple logo, when I do the recovery mode everyway possible the screen shows the itunes link but the pc doesn't acknowledge it.. I've tried on many pcs (windows and mac) and none respond because the device is not shown on itunes it just says "driver not found"
    please what to do???

  • TS2570 tried restart and hold c key, but still only getting white screen with grey apple logo and spinning loading icon, what do I do next?

    nephew had mutliple tabs open and shut down the iMac by hitting the button on the back instead of closing everything corectly.  Now the only screen i get is the white with apple logo and the loading circle icon.  i have attempted restart and c key with disk in but cant even get a menu to come up.  What can I attempt from home before having to haul this into the store? 

    wireless keyboard and mouse were working prior to safe mode attempt, i was able to eject disk.  still waiting on the safe mode restart.  I'm not sure what I should be looking for to confirm safe mode and what the screen should look like if successfully processing.  it seems to be putting off a lot of heat.  BRB

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod touch. I have attempted at least 3 times to update itunes to 10.10.54. It seemed to work, but then, i am unable to update my 3rd gen ipod touch. It says my version of 4.21. I know that there are higher versions. I have windows

    i ant update it. HELP

    Are you sure it is really a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  A 32 GB one can be either. To identify yours:
