I tried to restart my iPad -- now all I get is a spinning wheel and cannot use my iPad at all??

Try resetting.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My Macbook has died. Mail and Firefox wouldn't boot up today and so I turned it off at the button. Now I've just got a spinning wheel and nothing works. In the middle of doing a magazine too, altho I did some backup on a stick.  Any suggestions?

    Try rebooting while holding down the Command and R keys (two keys).
    If you see an icon for Recovery, select it and continue.
    Then select Disk Utiltiy and press Return.
    Now select the hard drive and the Repair Disk.
    Quit DU when that is done and restart.

  • Late 09 MB Pro 13" now on Mountain Lion keeps crashing (spinning wheel) and getting VERY hot. Even Safe Mode slow to work. Managed a back up last night and wondering should I put the original ios disc back in to take it back to SL. Advice appreciated!

    Hi
    For past year or so my mac book has been getting gradually worse. Spinning wheel, and overheating, last night I had trouble just getting it to start in Safe Mode (been using the on/off button a lot lately!)
    Problem may be related to media - iMovie followed by iPhoto are the most likely programs to bring everything to a stop but not always.
    I'm not an expert although I did figure out how to re install the operating system from the partition with help from this forum a couple of months ago but it didn't fix the problem.
    The iOS is Mountain Lion (via Lion)
    I managed to do a back- up last night and now wondering if I should re- install Snow Leopard from the original discs that came with the laptop. 
    Got a lot of media on there (replaced the 250gb drive with a  Samsung 1tb a while back which is less than half full.
    Never had to use any of my back-ups before so:
    If I re install the original operating system will I be able to be selective in what I put back on later?
    and -
    Will there be any issues putting a Mountain Lion back-up into a Snow Leopard iOS?
    A lot of whats there isn't needed but don't want to lose it completely.
    Advice appreciated thanks

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU|I/O' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
    kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
    the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.
    If you get output like this:
    kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info Start **
    kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info End **
    there's a fault in the graphics processor or logic board. The two kinds of output are not mutually exclusive, but if you get both, a logic-board fault is likely.

  • Kernel panics, spinning wheel and restart dialogs on startup

    That's it! Time for a little help from you guys and gurus before I chuck my iMac out the window.

    Background:
    Coputer worked fine in Mac OSX 10.4.3
    Problems:
    After updating to 10.4.5... and reinstalling the system 5-6 times from scratch I have been getting kernel panics, spinning wheels and restart dialogs on startup intermittent.
    The latest panic:
    Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x002E0368) Unable to find driver for this platform PowerMac 8,1.
    Kernel Version 8.5.0
    There have been all sorts of kernel panics but I don't get a panic log since system seems to panic in such an early stage.
    This has been done, more than once:
    - Disconnected everything
    - Reformatted HD and reinstalled from original CD
    - Downloaded combo updates from Apple website and installed them after repairing disc and permissions first.
    - Starts fine
    - Repaired permissions again, after restart.
    - installed one app at a time (latest updates on every app), allways restarting to see if everything still is fine, which it is.
    - Reconnecting external drive, burner, printer etc. allways checking if everything is fine by doing a reboot. It is.
    Computer seems happy, and so am I...
    Next morning, a kernel panic, or a reboot dialog or spinning wheel at startup. I reboot, cross my fingers, and it starts up first, second or third try. No panic log other than the screen on startup.
    - I reinstall combo update, restart and do a command-alt-P-R on the #&%?! and everything is fine... untill next day.
    - I run Apple Diagnostic and there is a problem with one of the memory cards. I try it again and again looping. Now no problems found?! So I rum Memtest and still no problems found.
    - I do this over and over againg to the point of physical illness.
    - I reboot from my external drive with 10.4.3 without any problems whatsoever.
    - Go back to 10.4.5 and the problems start again.
    - I remove Apple caches, Extension caches, ATS and all that. Boots fine... untill next day?!
    The most irritating thing is that once the computer boots up there are no apparent problems whatsoever using it.
    I have read every post on kernel panics here, at apple website and at The X Lab. Tried - in my opinion - everything without getting to the bottom of it.
    What did I forget?
    What havent I tried?
    I want my trusted Mac back!
    Very thankful for any help whatsoever.
    P.s. Since the computer works fine in 10.4.3 I don't see the point of taking it to service. It has to bee software related, no?

    Thank You for Your quick responce!
    I have 2 1GB DIMMs installed from the shop when I bought my iMac. I read http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86814 about iMac Memory Specs and if I understand it correctly I could remove one of the DIMMs to test if the problem goes away. Although the computer will run better with two DIMMs it will work with one slot empty as well.
    Did I understand that correctly?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

    Madmonkey,
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Gaylefromnewhope,
    Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
    Next might be to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
    If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Hello Curtis,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to downlaod Mavericks.  I recommend emptying your trash and restarting your computer.  Once you have done that, navigat the the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks again:

  • The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking.  How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

    The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is talking.  How do I make the voice stop and my IPAD work again. 

    If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
    Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
    You'll need to go elsewhere for support.

    1. Reset iPad
    2. Try another wall socket
    3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
    You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
    If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

  • I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
    Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

  • I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. Thoughts?

    I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. In other words, I want it to sync with the playlist as it exists in iTunes Match. Thoughts?

    Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
    Empty Camera Roll.
    Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
    This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
    The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.
