Bb9860 boots upto 75% and then goes white screen plz help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

IMac won't start up, can't get past the white screen

I have an older iMac, I believe it's the g5, the white one, got it about 6 years ago or so. It was acting up recently, crashing programs, taking a long time to respond etc. I figured I just had too much stuff on my hard drive so I went out and bought an external hard drive. After I copied over a bunch of files (not everything, my music and my photos aren't backed up!) I then deleted the files I transferred from the iMac to make room. It took a very long time for the trash to empty, and then I tried to restart. It shut down but never rebooted. When I press the power button it will only get to the white screen with the gray apple and gray progress wheel. It stays like that for a minute or two with the wheel turning but barely any progress on the progress bar and then it turns off. I tried unplugging everything including the power cord but nothing works. Any ideas? Thanks.

will it start in Single User Mode ? (Hold Command + S after hearing the chime)
If so, follow the fsck section at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417
and when/if you (finally) get a 'volume appears to be OK' message
don't restart afterwards.
then, still in single user, type the command df/ followed by enter
making sure that the result shows Capacity at some reasonable level, like 90% or less.
df means 'display free disk space', you're checking that the drive isn't so horribly full that attemoting to start might further risk your data
if Capacity is ok- reboot as per the article; if not, post back.
If you can boot in Single User & have done the above, but still can't start normally - try
Safe Mode to see if you can copy your files off.
If Single works, but nothing else, it's probably possible to copy your files in that mode, using typed commands.
if you can't start at all -
Checking your exact model at http://www.ifixit.com/ will show how hard it is to remove the HD yourself... some are pretty easy with the right-sized screwdrivers, and the drive can then be taken to anywhere with a computer & the right cable/adaptor to copy your files.
or
Target Disk Mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
if it works for you, would let someone with a computer & firewire port access any of your files that are intact. Apple may, as mentioned, say it's too old for them to look at.
finding the dvd's/getting replacements would be best.

Hello. When I connect my imac Start, as usual, comes the start signal and then the white screen with the load signal then nothing happens. What could be the problem?

Presuming you get the chime, most of your Mac hardware is working and has passed the first part of the power-on self-test.
If the screen comes on, basic graphics is working.
The dark gray Apple is not present inside the Mac -- it must be loaded from a boot device. If the dark gray Apple appears, at least one of your boot devices has some capabilities. The flower petal/gear moves while Darwin is initializing and loading. If it stops immediately, something is terribly wrong.
When the screen turns blue, Mac OS X has loaded and your graphics card transitions to Interrupt-driven operation. LoginWindow task draws the login screen, and Mac OS X is ready for login.
What could be the problem depends on where in the process it stops, and whether the power light is blinking.

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3.5 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

I understood what you were saying. You did type 4.3.5 in your post. Several other things to try.
Close all open apps like I described above. Just tap the home button first so that you will be able to access all of your apps. Close every single one and then restart again.
You can also delete the app and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID and password there is no charge to download it again. Tap and hold down on the GarageBand app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X to delete it. Download it again.
Reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10-15 seconds. Ignore the red slider shut off bar. When the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and the iPad will reboot.
The final thing to try is to download another app - any free app. Sometimes that seems to reset something on the iPad. You can always delete the free app if you don't want it.

Fox Sports Gametrax for football doesn't load, starts to show picture and then screen goes blank ... baseball gametrax is fine in Firefox

When I go to Fox Sports in Firefox and click on a football game, the Gametrax begins to load on a page ... showing the field and starting to show more and then it stops and goes blank. Gametrax for a baseball game works just fine. I have updated my version of Firefox to see if that fixes it and it did not.

How do i fix my ipod touch 4th gen when the apple logo appears and then a whit screen comes up and turns off and it wont charge and it wont connect to itunes

My ipod touch 4th gen is a having a few problems with charging and turning on, my ipod comes up with the extremely low on power symbol and then i put it into my computer and it comes up with the charging symbol then it goes to the apple logo and then onto a blank white screen and then turns off and repeats that process i have tried various things including resetting my ipod trying to connect it to itunes but it doesnt come up with anything so i cant reset it on itunes and have tried various charging devices.

Tried it but it won't do anything all it does is make the screen do a very small flash of white and then continues doing the same thing appearing with apple logo then the white screen and off and keeps repeating that
I'm guessing the white small flash means it's been reset when I hold the 2 buttons down,
Thanks for suggesting.

The iPod crashing when editing a photo is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1.
For the other problem.
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Sound starts to break up and then goes off completely

Have a Sony Bravia 52 inch TV. Rather frequently, the sound will start to break up and then no sound is present. If I flip to another channel, it comes back. Checked cable connection which are okay, picture does not pixelate or break up.
Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks.

is it happening on more than one tv? if it's just the one tv then the problem is isolated to the box or the tv or the cable coming from the wall to that one tv.
My guess would be that its the cable, I have had that problem and disconnecting and reconnecting that coax cable (rf in or fios tv in) is usually enough to fix it, it might also be the box itself. you can try rebooting from within the menu by going to menu
help in home agent
and then reboot stb.

My Premiere Elements 9 won´t start, it stars loading and then it stops.

After replacing two drivers (as Adobe told me to because wasn´t showing the preview of vids, just sound) my premiere elements won´t start. I replaced the files and didn´t start. Then I replaced those files with the originals that I saved just in case, but the same issue. Does anyone know how to start the program again?
Thank you.

My 6 will not open or show a screen. Was completely charged and turned off. When turning in it flashes an apple and then goes to a very dark grey screen. Unable to get anything.

My 6 turned off with a full charge and will. It turn back on. Have tried resetting, flipping mute switch and all recommended Apple suggestions. It very briefly flashes the Apple logo and then nothing. There is a slight color change of the screen, but no suggestion of working. Tried recharging, Nothing.

ALso, I can't get into the phone to get a serial number so can't chat with Apple about this problem.
You can find the serial number of the device in multiple places:
A) Engraved on the back of the device is the IMEI number. That corresponds directly to the Serial Number.
B) On the box it came in.
C) If you made a backup to iTunes previously, you can find the serial number in the Preferences window, under Devices.

Apple TV locked up on main menu and then goes to screen saver. Still locked

Apple TV not even 18 months old. Now out of warranty. Have reset by pulling the plug out aswell as holding the 2 buttons on the remote for 6 secs. No luck. After pulling the plug out for 30 secs and then back in, the Apple intro movie plays, then it goes to main menu. Cursor stuck on Top Movies. It won't budge and I know the remote works as I see the yellow light on the front of Apple TV working and it also works with my Macbook Pro. After the main menu appears the screen saver comes on and its still not responding to my remote.
Any suggestions please? I'll be bummed if I have to throw this out after 18 months as it cost a few $ and I don't believe Apple will fix it for free. BTW it has been working brilliantly for the last 18 months when connected to my MB Pro. Now its connected to my iMac. In iTunes where I sync everything, I have told it not to sync anything so that the Apple TV is now empty of content. Still no luck. U would think they would have put a hard reset button on the back like they have for my AE Base station/router.
Thx in advance.
Adrian

Thankyou all for your replies and advice.
I can confirm that the remote is still working by using it with my MB Pro. I have not changed any settings with the remote re pairing/unpairing.
In a nustshell, I took all my media from my much smaller MB Pro and put it on my much larger iMac. I then added a huge amount of music files to the iMac and in turn synced it with the Apple TV - all 160Gb of the Apple TV was then full. Then it seemed to stop working. In particular when I tried to play an MPEG4 movie that had previously played, it came up with an error message of sorts stating that the video could not be played due to an unrecognised format.
I even tried to play an iTunes documentary that I had d/loaded from the Apple store that also previously played. Same error message.
I can't try the unpairing command as the Apple TV will not respond to the remote. Its off at a repair shop so will let the forum know of what success I may have!
Once again thx for the advice guys.
KS
