I just can't get it to load. Lion icon in my launch pad is just saying 'waiting' it has been like this for 24 hours. Any help?

Can anyone help with this please? It has been bugging me for 24 hours, and I am going mad. I have clicked 'install' in iTunes, and the Lion icon just says 'waiting', but goes no further. I currently run Snow Leopard, so it should upgrade to Lion with no problems.

are you on the most up to date software 10.6.8? try checking through Software Update.
you can also sign out of itunes store/app store and the sign back in. I've read that this resets things where it prompts you to resume. you need to sign out of all computer and devices with the specific apple id acount you used to buy Lion for this to work.

After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster?

After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster? It's has been like this for 4 hrs.

I don't think your mac is setting up. It's stuck.
I would:
hold the power button until it shuts down
unplug all peripherals
do a safe boot (restart and hold down the shift key until you see the apple logo).
If it starts up in a safe boot, then you can try restarting with a normal boot.
If it does not start with a normal boot, then you probably have some incompatible third party software. Likely culprits are:
MacKeeper
CleanMyMac
third-party antivirus software
any other "cleaning" or "optimizing" or similar third party "utilities".
A good place to start would be to uninstall any of those (while in safe mode) and then restart.

My home button is also unresponsive and i have to press it really hard to make it work.

Do you remember the the exact wording of the error message:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

Hello, tia5674.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of your wireless router can resolve this issue. However, troubleshooting may be needed. If the issue persists after power cycling your router try the steps in the article below.

HELP ME MY IPAD 2 IS NOT TURNING BACK ON

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. (And there is no need to SHOUT.)

Can't open up Itunes (its been like this for months, and no response.)

I can not access itunes. Whenever I click on it it says:
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost."
It has been like this for a while. One day itunes just stopped working. Help from Apple would be nice.

Error Number: 0x80040707
Description: DLL function call crash: QtinstallCode.QuicktimePostinstallProc
that's a known complication of a broken QuickTime. in this context, it usually means the installation configuration information of the QuickTime has been compromised.
here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:

next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.

once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
does it go through properly this time? if so, does your itunes launch properly again?

I downloaded the Keynote app to use on my iPad and because of iCloud, it is trying unsuccessfully to download onto my iPhone. How can I get it to stop attempting to download onto my iPhone? It says waiting and I can't delete it (no X to click). Thx!

Did you try shutting down the device? Resetting? Disabling iCloud? Disabling auto-update?
I'd find the problem that is keeping the download from proceeding and fix that so that the process can finish...sounds like it may be your connection or a server issue, in which case you may need to wait.

How do i reverse a download? the little center is turning & it says "loading, please wait". it's been doing this for several hours & I don't know how to stop it.

I was downloading add ons; i let it wait until i left the site to load, but it's been running & showing the center spinning & "loading, please wait; it's been doing this for several hours & i don't know to stop or disable it

There is a rectangular white box between the top & bottom of the screen with no buttons on it. The wheel turns with 'loading, please wait'. There is a little arrow on the upper left with 2 green & gold 'men'. When I click on it this message shows up on the screen "Please accept the Terms of Service first (Add a social network). The only way I can get the wheel to quit turning is to go to 'tools' & click on options & it stops turnning. I already had a yahoo, facebook & twitter accounts, so I don't know what to do.
I've checked in my Control Panel & there is nothing with Firefox in there. If I can't resolve this can someone tell me to how to unload all of this & start over.
Thanks.

When I repair disk permissions using Disk Utility and it says it's completed the task, I click on it again and it repairs more. This has been going on for hours now. Could there be that many wrong permissions? Should it get to "all repaired" eventually?

It's normal behavior. You don't have to worry about. Most of what's listed is just a report of what the utility finds., not necessarily that there is omething wrong.
