Press and hold down the power button until it shut down. Then power it back up.

I tried to update my phone this morning, and now it is stuck on a black screen with an apple in the middle.
Press the Power button and hold it down until the computer turns off. Restart. Do you still get the same result? If so, then try booting into Safe Mode, then restart normally. A safe mode startup takes considerably longer than a normal one, so don't panic. You will also see a progress bar at the beginning.

Good Morning,
I just did a software update on my phone (finally) last night and now my phone will not come on. It keeps showing the charger pointing up to a blue circle with iTunes inside and will not go any further. Can ANYONE help me please???The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

Hello everyone,
I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.You do not need to keep posting the same thing over and over again.
Look to the right side of this page at "more Like this" or do a forum search. -
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. -
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.

Firefox 3.6.11 on Linux is not recognizing any plugins how can I fix this?
I'm running Enterprise linux 5.5 64-bit. I have tried installing the java plugin and can't get Firefox to recognize it. I could not get flash to work either.
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

When using safari the page will "back" with out touching the keyboard meaning that I am logged out of some online programmes. Does anyoine know why this would happen or what I can do to stop it??

You got it. OS = operating system.
safari is the internet browser on the computer? It doesnt matter what Im doing it just randomly does it more recently it has been while the kids have been doing their online maths. They would be answering a question and then it would sign them out and go back to the home page?? Weird??
Yes, Safari is the Internet browser. Click on a Safari page, go to the upper, left-hand corner, click on Safari, select About Safari, and post the information. On my Snow Leopard machine, I'm running Version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1). -
After several attempts of renting a movie directly on Apple TV (kept getting error for password that was entered correctly), decided to rent directly on the computer and watch via Apple TV. I go to Apple TV and my library is available (home sharing on) but don't see the rental anywhere. Do I need to move it on my computer from rentals to somewhere else?
Thanks!Welcome to the Apple Community.
Movies rented on the computer need to be fully downloaded before they will show up on the Apple TV. -

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???Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-275-2273. Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations. Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
GOOD LUCK!

I am debating buying a new MBP with Retina or a Macbook Air. I am looking for more info on wat people have been saying about lag in safari. Thanks!
Hey fredryan..did you end up getting the rMBP? I too am a little concerned about the screen performance while I wait for mine to ship. If you have gotten yours do you mind commenting on how Mountain Lion affected it? Is the lag still a big issue? Thanks!

MacBook won't start. After I power up, I get a light grey screen with an apple in the middle, a circle with lines moving around it and a blank grey bar below that. It won,t get beyond this. Please offer suggestions.
I have the exact same problem and waited it out and got to my homescreen. Whateve the problem is fried my bluetooth and my trackpad. I tried starting it again and couldn't even get to homescreen, it stayed on the bluescreen with the wheel of death. So, I took it to genius bar today. I was informed that my logic board is fried and it needs to be replaced. $300 repair that I'm looking at...

As I stated in the title, when I'm using the phone (sometimes during heavy use, sometimes when I'm doing nothing, and sometimes just swiping in from the start screen to view a notification) the screen will freeze (very short period, under half a second) then switch back to the start screen (black with the stylized Apple logo). Shortly after, about the same time it takes on startup, it goes to the lock screen and opens the number pad to enter my code. After that, everything works fine as if nothing had ever happened. All the apps still run fine, and I haven't lost any data.
Admittedly, it is merely a small annoyance since it has only happened a handful of times (5-10 since purchase), but it shouldn't be happening, and I'm somewhat worried that it is an indicator of a potentially more severe problem.
Phone information:
16GB Black iPhone 5
Verizon 13.3
iOs 6.0.1 (10A525)
Purchased on launch, received two days after
No restores
No resets
Automatically Send Usage Data: On
Thanks for any help.
Also, this happened on iOS 6 and 6.0.1I have noticed this and so has my brother, but just when swiping in from a notification on the home screen, and both when they were photos sent via Messages.
We both had iPhone 4's and have seen it happen a coupld of times.
I've just moved to an iPhone 5, but not long enough to see it happen yet.
