Imac is stuck in a boot loop and wont go into safe mode and has a yellow tint.

I wanted to play Sim 3 on my mac and 2 times it wouldnt load and the 3rd time it crashed and thats when the boot loop started. The startup screen has like a yellow tint to it and when I try to use safe mode the bar doesnt fill and it just restarts again. My mac is connected to another screen but I don't think that affects it. This is what my screen looks like.

Depending on the age and use of the phone, this could be a defective battery. You should get ti checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.

Wifi goes on and off, backlit keyboard doesn't work and no sound since Lion upgrade. I can get the wifi back by going into safe mode and re booting(someone suggested on here), but can't let computer die or turn off or have to do it again.

My Wifi connection goes off if computer dies or shuts off, I can only make it work if I go into safe mode and reboot, it was just that, but now my keyboard doesn't light up like it's supposed to in low or no light and in system preferences it's like it doesn't exist. Also, the sound doesn't work, I can't turn it up or down, it shows the sound icon grayed out and the anti symbol when I push F11 and F12, also it's like it doesn't exist in system preferences either. I have never had any problems with my MB Pro, I purchased in Feb. 2010. , but I upgraded to Lion last month, I haven't been using my laptop as much since I had an Ipad I given to me, so I think that's why I didn't notice these issues right away. What do I do? HELP!! Do I take it to Apple? I don't have the Apple care warranty, so will it be expensive for them to fix? Can I get my money back for Lion if I restore to Snow Leopard?

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. How much it will cost will depend on their determination of the problems. To bad you didn't purchase extended AppleCare. No you don't get your money back for purchasing Lion.

Boot into safe mode and touschscreen doesn't work.

Hey, so, I ran a program that would reboot my Toshiba Encore into Safe Mode and in Safe Mode the touchscreen is non-functional. Whenever I try to shut down the Encore and turn it back on, it always goes back into Safe Mode and I can't do anything.
Please help!
Thanks,

Ooh. That is a bluetooth device is it ? I suspect the tablet does not have a bluetooth driver in safemode.
If not, you should follow Padgett's suggestion.
If you do not have one, pop in to a phone shop and get an OTG cable. Then visit your neighbours and ask if you can borrow a USB keyboard and / or mouse for 15 minutes. Even if you can only find a USB mouse, you can open a file explorer, find your way to C:\Windows\System32, click on msconfig and you will be back in business in minutes.

Can you boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the command and R keys whilst booting)?
Call back - you'll be able to connect to this forum from Safari whilst in Recovery.

Firefox Crashes and Hangs when opened and wont work in safe mode

I use a mac OS X 10.6.7
I have tried to follow your guides but I have been unable to stop firefox from crashing. I disabled all the apps via safe mode and the programme still crashes.
I type in about:crashes but only had time to get the last crash details

Thanks for the note about profile locations.
I deleted mimeType.rdf in my existing profile, still have the same issue - can't view Tools -> Options for the Applications tab, or download a file. Same goes for a new profile - the same issues arise.
Firefox never does crash, I can leave it in this hung state for hours (I left it in a 'not responding' state last night and it was still hung this morning).
I was going to add a screen shot to this post but Firefox hung when I clicked on the 'Browse' button. Perhaps this is an issue when FF tries to interact with my directory structure? Does that get us any leads on what's wrong?
FYI, I currently have my antivirus disabled & not running in the task bar just in case that was interfering somehow.

My imac won't boot up. Tried recovery and nothing. Tried to hold shift and nothing. Tried safe mode and it has stopped at :/root

I have tried to start up in safe mode but it has stalled at :/root# I don't know what to do next. Worried about forcing a shutdown at this point.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

IPod Nano 5th Gen is stuck on the Apple Logo, won't go into disk mode and won't connect to computer.

My iPod Nano 5th Generation won't turn on; I've held down "Menu" and the center button which makes the Apple logo come up, then it just stays on that. I've followed steps I've seen on here trying to get it into disk mode by holding down the "Play/Pause" button and the center button immediately after the Apple Logo appears but it doesn't respond to that at all. I've charged it and upgraded my iTunes but nothing seems to do anything to it. When I plug it into my computer there is nothing to say it's plugged in on iTunes or My computer or anything. It's driving me crazy and I'm hoping there's a way I can fix it without it having to be sent off.
Any advice would be cracking!
Thanks,
Tilda

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem and can't figure it out.

Firefox crashes after upgrade and wont start in safe mode crash report is Crash ID: bp-4a1fc5e6-6afb-4c5b-9e4e-47ad12130514

I cannot open FF after an upgrade. The first time I tried to upgrade I had to cancel the upgrade before it had finished as I was called away. The second atttempt went to completion OK with no error reports. However, I cannot start FF. I can't try safe mode as if I try to open while holding shift key down the screen asking if I want to open in safe mode flashes by very quickly and goes straight to the crash screen. Ive tried deleting FF and reinstalling (without deleting profile) but same thing happens. I dont want to try deleting including profile as I dont want to lose my history and saved passwords.

Thanks for extremely fast reply. That makes sense as I downgraded to FF16 about a month ago as I was having problems with FF20. That was about the time my company took on the Websense security. FF16 has worked fine so do you think it will work if I go back to FF16? I would have to approach Websence via my company's IT support and they would probably say I shouldn't be using FF anyway!

Hello courtney lynn 7420,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you ran into an issue with restoring your iPod with iTunes. Without an error message or error code provided, the best troubleshooting step for you to go through is the article linked to below.

Will not boot normally, but will boot into Safe Mode... what now?

Hey y'all, I've got an iBook G4—purchased in 2003—that's had its hard drive replaced (due to the OE one failing) and that's on its second battery (which will need replacing soon unless I can't get this resolved, then it's new computer time... ugh).
Last night I left it open and on and probably had a couple of sites open in tabs in Safari, as well as Mail and iChat open (Preview might've been open, too).
When I went back to it this morning it wouldn't come off the black screen (I don't have it set to sleep), and I thought it was because it's dry here and I must've discharged into it through the trackpad (though I've always felt it before), which freezes it, a problem that's happened before and that's normally resolved with a restart. Confirmed it was, indeed, frozen by turning the number lock on and off (which turns the light for it at the top of the keyboard on and off).
Powered it down by holding the power button. On restart it wouldn't go beyond the black screen. Tried it a couple of times, same problem. Things were pretty warm, so I let it sit for a while. Went back to it and it would freeze on the gray apple screen with the progress "gear" freezing after a few seconds of whirling about. Managed to get to the UN/PW screen once, but it froze after entering my UN and PW. Now it freezes on the apple/gear screen every time.
I used the Hardware Test CD to check things and all the hardware tests showed up fine. Booted it into Safe Mode and ran Cocktail. Rebooted, no joy.
Booted again into Safe Mode and backed it up onto an external HDD using CCC. I had done a clone a few weeks ago, but I wanted my most recent emails, etc.
Used Disk Utility to repair permissions. No change. Attempted to boot from my cloned disk image. No go. Repaired some permissions on that drive and tried again. No joy.
The thing "works" in Safe Mode, but I cannot get it to boot into things normally.
Seeing as it was online, is it possible that I picked up some corrupted font that's causing these problems? Got that idea from other stuff I've read online regarding iBook G4 start-up issues and this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Any other ideas?

Gents, truly, thank you.
In safe mode I couldn't disable the Airport card as it was already off and the hardware was "not found". No biggy. I simply pulled it. Booted up normally without a problem several times.
I swapped in a known-good Airport card from another iBook G4 and put this one's in that iBook. That computer wouldn't start and this one started up no problem (and I'm posting from it).
Weird that it would go bad like that, but it did. It's nice to know what the problem is and that the fix is easy. I'm glad I didn't go through any restore or wipe and install procedures.
So, again... THANK YOU!

10.9.4 Boots Into Safe Mode

Every other boot, my MacMini4,1 boots into Safe Mode.
I tried Command+Option+P+R for two chimes but it continues to do this. Most posts are asking how to boot into Safe Mode and I'm looking for what is causing mine.
What should I try next?

Searched for "Safe" and this is where it started:
1/09/2014 6:33:44.000 am kernel[0]: SAFE BOOT DETECTED - only valid OSBundleRequired kexts will be loaded.
1/09/2014 6:33:44.000 am kernel[0]: calling mpo_policy_init for TMSafetyNet
1/09/2014 6:33:44.000 am kernel[0]: Security policy loaded: Safety net for Time Machine (TMSafetyNet)
1/09/2014 6:33:44.000 am kernel[0]: ucode: no updates in safe mode
Then it lists the items: "can't load..."
Is there something else I should search for?

Imac is stuck in a boot loop and wont go into safe mode and has a yellow tint.
