IPhone will not boot after DFU and Restore

I'm having a problem booting up my phone. I tried to turn in on the other day and it would hang up at the apple logo screen with a little loading circle running behind it. I put the phone into DFU mode and restored it twice but it still won't boot past the apple logo. Is there anything else I can do? Is this phone just dead? I'm out of warranty and any help is appreciated.

Just did a hard reset on the phone and turned it back on. Seems like it's stuck in an endless boot. The phone will:
1. Turn on and display just the apple logo
2. Display the apple logo with a loading circle
3. Screen goes blank for a second then comes back on
4. and then the whole sequence happens again.
Any ideas? I don't live near an apple store to have them look at it and fix it. Is there anything else I can do? What's apple's out of warranty repair cost?

Macbook Pro Will Not Boot After Full Timemachine Restore

Hope someone can help. I upgraded my HD and attempted to restore from time machine. Everything appears to have worked well and the restoration was a success according to what the computer says. However, when I go to reboot I hear the startup sound then the apple pops up on the screen followed by a kernal panic error and the black box telling me that I need to hold down the start button and restart. I've tried resetting the pram, reinstalling from TM again and a couple of other things but it won't start up. I tried doing a clean install and it worked fine then I migrated files from my TM backup and that worked fine as well. However, that's not what I'm looking for, I wanted to get the machine exactly the way it looked before the upgrade and I thought TM was supposed to do that. I've read other forums were people have done it with no problems and am completely stumped at why it is not working. If anyone can shed some light I'd appreciate it.

I booted with the CD and after selecting the language, went to the utilities pane and used the partition feature.
Last night in desperation, I booted back to the CD and once again told it to do a full restore from TM. This was the third time that I had done it so far. The previous two times I had gone into the partition feature and partitioned the drive first. This time I skipped that step and just told it to restore from TM. It said if it did this it would erase everything on the drive. I agreed and let it do its work. This morning it once again, as in both previous times, said it had restored from TM successfully. I told it to restart and lo and behold, it booted and everything is just as I had it on the other drive.
Needless to say, I'm confused but happy. I just wish I knew why it would not boot after restoring the previous two times? Maybe it just wanted me to spend more money:) I tried booting today only after I had gone to frys electronics and bought a SATA to USB cable and cloning software.
Anyway, thanks for your help and if anyone knows why it wouldn't boot, let me know. It would be good to know for the future just in case. For anyone else having this trouble, keep trying. Third time was a charm for me.

I have recovered and restored my ipad, set up wifi, discovery etc, moved to Terms and Conditions and can get no further. Agree and disagree buttons appear but will not function.

Thanks for the suggestion. Had tried that, and just did again. Still the same. Have tried plugging it in to itunes as suggested elsewhere - Agree button still will not respond. Went on to itunes to download an app - wasnt asked to agree to conditions. I just don't get it......

HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

RE: HP XP Media Center 2005 Ed will not boot from HP System Restore CD's

RE: HP XP Media Center 2005 Ed will not boot from HP System Restore CD's.
The following instructions about the "Code Purple" error FAILED. Error is still present.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
***PLAIN ENGLISH QUICK AND EASY FIX FOR ALL SYSTEMS****
***Windows 7 code purple or Windows Vista code purple***
With the code purple error on the screen, press shift+f10 (the shift key and the F10 key (at the top of the keyboard) at the same time) to open a little screen called a command prompt. (So, you get a little black screen with white text that says something about your Windows verison first and a little ways down you'll see "C:\>".   It's all ready for you to start typing.)
Type the following line, just as you see it here...
notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd
so it will look like this
C:\>notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd
Press Enter.
You will see the text for the file listed in a window using a simple text editor.
Go to the beginning of the text. Press enter to make a space. Type this...
goto cleanup
So, whatever comes after, the first line looks like this...
goto cleanup
Save the file and exit notepad and restart your PC. You are good to go.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
RESULT: Same error and problem.
So, NOW THE SCENARIO IS THIS...[ And A CHALLANGE TO ALL HP Software EXPERTS]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. The PC will not boot the System Restore CD's
2. The Original OS install and [HP_RECOVERY] disk sector has been severely damaged by
all of the following:
   A. Massive Virus Infections as shown by Kaspersky Virus Scan and cleaned up.
   B. The user had originally updated the pc to Vista Business Express Upgrade
       (Supplied by HP with the original purchase and warranty).
        (Prior to the upgrade, Media Center was working correctly.)
   C. The original OS product key(XP Media Center Ed. 2005) has been changed by the Vista Business Express upgrade.
   D. The destructve recovery done by PC-Doctor has done user file damage(s).
   E. All software, and possibly hardware could be corrupted & damaged by viruses,
   incomplete recovery, and the unknown failures and conditions.
To sum up, the system is locked in an unknown state, waiting for expert help.
(I can allow and manage to let someone diagnose, repair remotely using another OS i.e.Linux Opensuse 12.1, or XP Home ed if needed.)
SO IF YOU THINK YOU ARE UP TO THIS CHALLANGE, SEND MESSAGES TO DAVHPForum anytime. Thanks in advance!

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
If that should fail...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -fy Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
# The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
# Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

TS1717 My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
Thanks again.

IMAC 21.5 " allinone will not boot after OS re-installed

Had to erase HD and re-install Snow Leopard from installation disc. It completed OK but sys will not boot, tone sounds and Apple logo comes up and 'wheel' is spinning, but that's it. Waited for over half hour before shutting down. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Try a safe boot by holding the Shift key down between the startup tone and logo.
If succesful, go to System Preferences > Startup disk > select your HD and restart.

My father's iphone will not boot. We live in Barbados but the phone was bought in the US. Is there any way to fix this, or does he need a new phone, and is this covered by warranty?

My father has owned his iphone for almost exactly 9 months. The phone was purchased in the US when he was on holiday. We live in Barbados, but the phone should still be under warranty. (please correct me if I'm wrong). He says the phone will not boot, it is inconsistent with showing how much battery life it has and it keeps looping because it's always trying to reboot. He treats his electronics very well and the phone is in perfect condition. Is there any way that this can be fixed without him losing all the information on the phone? Or can he get a replacement phone (due to the warranty issue)?

Have you tried any basic troubleshooting
restart
reset
Restore
See user guide

assuming iPhone is still using iOS 5.0.1

Snow Leopard will not boot after TM Restore

I had an email issue (lost 5 accounts) that has turned into a nightmare. Apple Support told me to restore my entire hard drive from my Time Machine. I booted to the DVD and selected a restore point and 12 hours later I get the Apple with the spinning wheel. I have tried two restore points - same result. It will not boot in safe mode either. I ran the Verify Drive utility and the drive checks out.
The drive is about 75% full after this TM restore operation so it appears it is pulling all of my data into the machine.
I have a number of backups of my system including a full one on ARQ plus all the TM backups. I am just not versed in the Apple OS enough to know how to recover from this point.
Q's:
1. Is it possible that the data and the Apps have been restored but the OS is simply corrupt on the TM?
2. Is there a Repair feature on the SnoL DVD or am I faced with a fresh install?
3. If I do a fresh install, can I simply copy the Apps folder back in the machine and my apps work correctly? (I realize a few may not that have to have components in browsers or whatever).
Suggestions on recovery approach...
Thanks, Uursa

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
That's possible. Once you can get it to boot you can explore that.
2. Is there a Repair feature on the SnoL DVD or am I faced with a fresh install?
Soon after booting from that DVD you should see a Utilities menu with Disk Utility under it. With Disk Utility you can perform a "Repair Disk" operation.
3. If I do a fresh install, can I simply copy the Apps folder back in the machine and my apps work correctly?
You could first try installing OS X 10.6 over what's already there. You might also learn more about what's wrong by doing a "verbose boot':
