Ipad won't start up after installing an update.  Shows itunes icon with cord from the side.

ipad won'tstaart up after installing an update.   Shows, itune icon and cord going tothe side.  Cant make it do anything else.

That means that you have to restore the de ice using iTunes on a computer. There is nothing else that you can do to fix it now and you cannot back it up now either. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes and restore the iPad.
IF you don't have a computer, find someone that has one running iTunes or go to an Apple Store and ask them to restore it for you.

  • Computer won't start-up after installing Intel update :( :( :(

    I have no idea what's wrong, but I had an Intel update installed and when I rebooted my machine it wouldn't get past the Apple logo (and hasn't each of the 10+ times I've tried). In fact, when I leave it on the Apple logo at start-up, it attempts a full reboot after about 10 minutes, then proceeds to get stuck in the exact same place. What is going on?!?

    My computer was working absolutely fine until I installed this update and now I'm completely stuck. ANy help MUCH apprecaited.
    Again, you will get better help if you start a new thread. Unlike the OP, you can get into single-user mode. Also unlike the OP, you are running Leopard rather than Tiger. I'd suggest posting your own thread in the Leopard forums.
    Very quickly, though, you should rerun fsck/Disk Utility repair until you get a message saying that "The volume <whatever> appears to be OK". If you cannot repair that way, you have to choose between trying a third-party application like DiskWarrior and reinstalling the OS.

  • Won't start-up after installing Apple Update!

    My MacBook Pro was working fine until just now when I accepted Apple's link to Update iTunes using Mountain Lion.
    Now only starts in 'safe mode'. On start-up just displays grey screen with Apple logo and Spinning Wheel.
    What have you done to my Mac Apple?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Boot in safe mode and launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    Why does iPad 3 4G constantly restart after 8.3 update only when docked with iMac?

    That question is impossible to answer without more information. What troubleshooting steps have you performed? Did you try using another cable? Did you try using another USB port on the Mac? Did you reboot the Mac and reset the iPad? Have you tired restoring the iPad?

  • IWeb Won't start up after installing 10.6.2!

    I downloaded 10.6.2 and installed. Now iWeb won't start up. I have websites to manage.

    I didn't have the problem, but you might try deleting user/library/preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist.

  • MBP won't start up after Snow Leopard update

    Hi, I just installed the update for Snow Leopard. I restarted my computer and now it won't get past the grey screen, the darker screen just comes down and says I need to restarte my computer.
    Is there anything I can do myself or do I need to take it in to get checked?
    Thanks!

    HI Phillip,
    Grab your install disk that came with your MBPro and use Disk Utility to check the drive.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the DU window open, look at the bottom of the window. You will see Capacity and Available. Never allow the free disk space to fall below 10% of the capacity.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode

  • '09 MacBook Pro won't start up after installing new hard drive and restoring from an external hard drive.

    I am in the process of replacing my hard drive and have run into a problem. I reinstalled OSX 10.6.3 using a DVD I bought off Amazon. That went well and I then restored my hard drive using an external and Time Machine.
    After that, things still looked good but I couldn't log in to my user (and access my MacBook) because my password wasn't working even though my hint was correct. Yes, I am POSITIVE my password was correct; I even tried a couple other passwords to humor myself. I then gave up and decided to restart the computer.
    Now my MacBook won't start up at all. It goes o a gray screen with a still loading symbol for a couple minutes and then goes to a solid light blue screen. I've tried starting up while holding command+R and I tied holding just command and neither worked.
    Did I install the wrong OSX because I didn't use the same DVD that came with the laptop? Is there something wrong with my hard drive already?
    Please help =[

    You probably bought the wrong RAM that has different pin assignments, so it won't fit in the slot. Return it.
    I bought 4GB Memory online for my MacBook, so I could get it to run twice as fast.
    Doubling the memory does not make your computer run twice as fast.

  • IBook G4 won't start up after installing Airport Extreme card

    Hi,
    just installed an Airport Extreme Card into girlfriends iBook G4 (10.4.5), which now won't start up. After pressing the start button all I hear is the fan spin (pretty fast actually), but nothing else happens.
    When I remove the card the iBook starts up normally.
    Any thoughts what could be wrong? Bad card? Bad connection?
    Thanks a lot

    Sven, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Are you certain that you have an AirPort Extreme card?
    Are you certain that it is an iBook G4? The iBook G3s require the original AirPort card.
    If both of those are OK, then one (or more) of these is true:
    The card isn't installed correctly.
    The AirPort Extreme card is defective.
    The iBook's motherboard is defective.

  • Ipad Mini cannot start up after install iOS 8.1.2

    Hi All,my Ipad Mini after upgraded from iOS 8 to iOS 8.1.2 couldn't start up,it only show the Apple logo and goes off after!
    Can anyone here advice me please.
    Thanks

    Try to reset the device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    Be aware that in some cases, the device may enter recovery mode after a glitched update (if that's what happened).

  • Won't start up after installing iTunes update

    After installing an iTunes update yesterday morning, I shut down my computer while I was gone all day. When I returned home and restarted it, I got the white Apple screen and gray wheel for an unusually long time, 30-45 seconds. Then the screen turned black and the following appeared:
    Sept 13 09:33:05 com.apple.inbindd: Bad System Call
    Sept 13 09:33:05 com.apple.inbindd: respawning too quickly! throttling
    Sept 13 09:33:05 com.apple.inbindd: 9 more failures without leaving at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
    Sept 13 09:33:05 com.apple.inbindd: will restart in 60 seconds
    ... some other prompts flashed up on the screen, too quickly to read what they said...this continues for at least 2 minutes before getting this message:
    Sept 10 06:33:05 com.apple.inbindd: to many failures in succession
    Sept 10 06:33:05 localhost:/ root#
    And then nothing happens. I found a ProBook user on another board who got the same error after installing an iTunes update, and restarting in 'safe mode' seemed to help him. I tried to follow the same instructions but they must be different for the iMac--holding down the shift key while restarting made no difference.
    iMac 17" Intel 1.83 GHz 512MB 160GB SD/AP/BT
    Not being able to even get to the desktop--I am at a total loss. Please help!

    The Safe Mode startup key combo is the same; Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs, it just isn't working for you.
    I suggest starting from the Install DVD that came with your iMac. Once in the Installer you will find tools in the Utilties menu. Using the Disk Utility try repairing the startup volume.

  • IPad won't start up after attempting to reset it with Cydia on it.

    I put Cydia on my iPad 2 (iOS 8.2) then I wanted to take it off as I got paranoid but after I tried to reset my iPad by pressing the home and lock buttons until it went off, now it won't come on. It is a blank screen with the Apple and a progress bar at the bottom but it doesn't show any progress. It's just one shade of grey. I did try to reset it using my iTunes. Got to the Summary page of the iPad and the other pages like Music and Apps etc was there on iTunes but nothing further on the iPad. Same screen as mentioned earlier.
    Help!

    Use Google and find out how to put your iPad into DFU mode (nice videos are available on YouTube) then Restore it in iTunes you will be able to use it again.

  • IBook G4 won't start up after installing promted itunes & security update

    HELP.
    My iBook G4 was prompted to update iTunes & some security update. I always do this when prompted, and restart as requested.
    I installed the updates and restarted, but this time my iBook won't boot up. It makes the regular chime noise, goes to the gray screen, gets past the apple logo, then goes to a blue screen with the cursor in the upper left corner. The cursor moves just fine, the caps & num lock lights work, but it just never gets past the blue. If I leave it alone for a while, the cursor disappears, and I get the turning circle in the lower middle of the screen (the one that comes up during the gray screen). It just sits and sits on the blue. Hard drive isn't making any unusual sounds.
    I tried starting it up from the Install Disc, which worked fine. I ran the disk utility and it said it didn't need any repairs.
    Still won't start up.
    I did the cmd + opt + p + r to get the 3 chimes... no change.
    I tried the fsck thing, it didn't do anything.
    HELP.
    Am I a goner?
    I saw that some other people had problems, but it seems like everybody's is just slightly different. My display looks totally normal, just won't get past the blue screen. My disk utility said that it didn't need any repairs? Looks like most other people at least saw some errors in there...

    I think Carolyn misunderstood the "3 chimes" comment. I think what you meant was that you held down the key combo until you heard the normal startup chime for the third time, not that the iBook gave you the 3 long beeps of a failed POST (power-on self test) which could indeed indicate a RAM problem.
    It's more than likely not a RAM issue. These bad updates occasionally happen and the way to handle it is to do what you're doing now; backup what you can and then do an Archive and Install of the OS (although usually a couple of reboots, start in safe boot mode and reinstall the update is usually all that's needed).

  • Computer won't start up after installing iLife '09

    My MacBook Pro is now stuck in a bricked mode after installing iLife '09.
    Install:
    1. The install went perfectly unlike some of the posts I have read.
    2. The installer asked me to register and I chose "later".
    3. The installer asked to restart to complete the process and I accepted.
    4. Then it restarted my machine and the progress spinner just sits there for five minutes...then the computer just shuts off cold.
    Fix Attempts:
    1. Tried restarting manually many times, but it keeps shutting itself off after five minutes of spinning.
    2. Tried zapping my P-Ram by restarting and holding down commandoption+pr a few times, but that didn't help.
    3. Restarted while holding down option to boot Windows XP. Windows booted successfully and then I restarted back in Mac mode, but that didn't help.
    4. I ejected the iLife '09 disc and unplugged the power chord and USB iPhone charger, just in case that has anything to do with the ghost in the machine, but that didn't help either.
    I'm left trying to decide what to do. Going to the Genius bar does not appeal to me for various reasons.
    Any one else out there experience this problem and get things running again??

    Since I don't have the original install discs that came with my computer, I tried these things:
    1. Tried booting in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key at start up, but does not help.
    2. Booted in Single-User Mode by holding down command+s at start up. Then I get the fsck diagnostic by typing in "/sbin/fsck -fy".
    Did that three times and get the same response:
    /dev/rdisk0s2
    Root file system
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow.
    Checking Catalog file.
    disk0s2: I/O error.
    Invalid key length
    (4, 25236)
    Volume check failed.
    /dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
    :/ root#
    Then I ran the command "df -hl" to see what the drive space looks like. Looks good enough:
    Filesystem root_device
    Size 80Gi
    Used 68Gi
    Avail 12Gi
    Capacity 86%
    Mounted on /
    Any ideas if this helps??
