IPod Won't Get Past Splash Screen

Hey everybody. This is my first post and I have a big problem. I got an iPhone 4 for verizon and now I am selling my iPod touch 4g. I was going to restore it but it was taking way to long to download so I unplugged it while the sync screen was not up and reset from the device. Now it has been on the apple screen all night since 9:45 PM eastern.
When I charged it from no battery the same thing happened. Please help because I was going to sell it today!

Word won't get past splash screen

Helllo all.
I have just installed lion on a clean disk, then installed Office.
Execl, powerpoint load fine, word will not go past the splash screen, it just hangs, does not crash. Lions console is a different layout to Leopard and I cannot see anything in there to indicate an issue, yet it will not load.
I have tried installing it twice, and upgraded to the latest service pack.
Any ideas where to go from here?
As much as I detest Word I really need it.

IMac won't get past startup screen, no matter what. Pls help?

I just inherited a mid-2010 iMac from a friend. It hadn't been used for months, and now when it is started up, it won't get past startup screen. It shows the 'slot' looking image on the bottom of the white loadup screen, then it's just the apple symbol and the whirly thing going around forever. I've had it going for over half an hour at one point, and nothing changes. I have tried all the different reboot key combos, such as C with a startup disk in it, D for hardware test, command S for safe mode, etc. The only thing which makes any difference at all is using the T key at startup, when I do get the three-pronged white symbol floating around screen.
It is a 21 inch with 500gig, and I believe it's running Snow Leopard. They never had a problem with it before, but now after the months of disuse, it is doing this. Please, can anyone help? Thanks!

I'm not sure if a dead PRAM battery would give you these symptoms, but one possibility is that if the computer was off wall power for months, the PRAM battery, a small coin cell battery that controls certain functions, may be drained and dead.
But, in any case, try an SMC Reset. You must follow the timing for this exactly.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
And then a PRAM Reset.
Hold down Option-Cmd-P-R together at the startup chime, listen for two more chimes, total three, then release all the keys to finish booting.
You might also try a Safe Boot by holding down Shift at the startup chime. (Cmd-S isn't for Safe Boot, it's single user mode.) Give it much longer to boot than usual, but if it doesn't finish in perhaps 5 or 10 minutes, then you'll have to give up on that.

Won't get past "Platinum screen", keyboard not recognized

Hi all,
I just built a system, haven't even loaded up the OS yet. On the first boot, the computer won't get past the screen which says "Platinum" and says "tab to switch to post" or "del to run BIOS setup." The lights don't flash on the PS/2 keyboard i hooked up (a 6 year old Compaq one). I then tried a 2-year old Dell PS/2 keyboard with the same result. Is this problem fixable? I bought this off of Newegg and there is still time to return it, if I need to. Thanks for your help in advance. Also, if this topic has been beaten to death, I'm sorry. I'm in a state of panic right now since this computer isn't even for me.

I had the same symptoms first time I tried to boot my then-new K8N Neo2 Plat. I had the advantage of having the D-bracket, which was telling me it was hanging in the memory test. I had stuck in some cheapo memory to set up the board, waiting for my good stuff to show up. Turns out the memory was not up to the task. When I stuck in the good stuff, she fired right up. What memory are you using? Are you sure you don't have the D-bracket? it looks like a PCI back-plane USB bracket, except it has 4 LEDs on it (in addition to 2 USB ports and a 1394 port).

MacBook 2010 won't get past loading screen

Hi everyone. I don't live anywhere near an apple store so am hoping I can get some help here. My MacBook won't get past the initial White loading screen with the grey apple logo. A loading bar (which I've never seen before) comes up, loads about 1/5 of the way, disappears, comes back empty, does the same thing then my laptop turns off. About two weeks ago the battery stopped working without being plugged in and each time I turned it on it had reset the date to 01/01/2001. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The hard drive is damaged. Insert the Mac OS X DVD, press C key when your Mac starts, go to Utilities > Disk Utility and repair the drive. If it doesn't work, take the Mac to an Apple Store.
If you haven't made a backup, download DiskWarrior

Computer won't get past OS screen after unlock, even if I am still using 2 cores

>Phenom II x2 555 BE
>MSI 870a-g54
So I decided to unlock my CPU and have been experiencing a problem. I recently found out that if I even have "unlock core" function enabled in BIOS, even while running it with two cores, the computer won't get past the windows screen. With four cores enabled it obviously does the same. No matter what I try I cannot get past the Windows screen while having the unlock core function enabled.
My BIOS isn't on the latest version. I tried flashing it but I couldn't start it up even after flashed, it gave me the same problem described above. I reflashed it to the version I'm on now and it works, but I still can't unlock. What gives?
Any help would be appreciated.
TL;DR: PC will run as Phenom ii X2 555, but not as Phenom ii x4 B55. Can't get past windows screen.

you need to provide more vcore to the cpu
first try to enable 1 core (core number 3) (disable core number 2 and 4) and increase some vcore. If booted then you have a good core.
Then try this with other core (core number 4) (disable core number 2 and 3), if booted then your both cores are unlockable and are good core (i.e, not defective)
then you can try all cores at same time with some voltage increase (vcore)

IPhone won't get past lock screen. Restart won't work.

My phone was charging and I took it off the charger, my friend played around and did the color invert thing (where you press the home button 3 times). Now it won't get past the lock screen. When I try to put in my pass code it just puts boxes around the numbers but won't actually press it. I tried restarting it, it's currently plugged into my computer and nothing. It was really warm when I first noticed this. Help!

It sounds like your friend also turned on VoiceOver, which speaks items on the screen as you touch them (and sounds like the Siri voice). You will need to go to Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver and turn it off. However, with VoiceOver on the way you use the iPhone screen changes. First, to scroll you will need to flick the screen with three fingers. Next, to activate something on the screen you will need to first tap it once to select it, then double-tap it to activate it. Example: to open Settings, tap Settings once (the voice will say "settings"), then double-tap it again and it will open. The specific steps are:
Enter you lock code by tapping the first number once to select it, then double-tap it to enter it. Repeat for the other numbers.
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
To fix the inverted colors, go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn White on Black to Off.

Ipod won't get past 'do not disconnect'

hi everyone,
PLEASE help - I've connected my ipod to my computer. I have Windows XP and the latest version of itunes. My computer recognized the ipod, pulled up itunes, asked me to name it an all that, and now I'm in the itunes menu for my ipod. However, the actual ipod won't get out of the flashing 'do not disconnect' screen. When I eject the ipod from itunes, it will go to the normal itunes menu screen, but any time it's connected to itunes, all I get is 'do not disconnect'. I can't get into it at all. PLEASE HELP
Thanks,
Windows XP

Your iPod is probably enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
Connect your iPod and in iTunes 6.x go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync (automatically update songs and playlists) with iTunes and also has a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you are using iTunes 7, connect your iPod and in when it appears in the source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Then under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync all songs and playlists. In Summary remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case check this link: Safely Disconnect iPod

IPhone 5 won't get past apple screen (keeps restarting)

Hello
Bought an iphone 5 just before the ios 7 release and for the last little while the phone would shut off a After a full charge when it hit approximately 97% of full charge it would shut off! Now it won't get past the apple screen and just keeps restarting over and over again.
Does anyone else have this problem with their iphone 5 and if so any solutions???
Our carrier Fido says this is an IOS 7 issue. Can anyone help
Thanks
Shep

Hey Shep77,
That definitely sounds frustrating! To completely isolate the issue, you may want to restore your iPhone in recovery mode, as outlined in this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
iPhone is unresponsive and displays the Apple Logo
Review this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore.
.The above article also has great troubleshooting steps for Power issues, you may want to run through those if restoring does not resolve your issue:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Updated to FCPX 10.2, can't get past splash screen

So, I got through a batch of projects, and finally upgraded to FCP 10.2
After installation, I can't get past the splash screen. I'm asked, via a dialogue box, if I wish to update my libraries / events. I do.
Then... I see rapid fire text loading and then updating libraries / events. Then it gets stuck on a particular event... beach ball... nothing.
I've tried several times, and it gets stuck on a random event.
I can't get past the splash screen. I've rebooted. Still nothing.

Generally, if FCP opens under one account but not another, the issue is a corrupt preference in the non-functioning users account.
While in your user account, download and intall FCP Rescue (google it to find it), open it up (with FCP not running) and TRASH your preferences.
Try FCP again.

Nano won't get past language screen did restore already..Is it Toast?

My ipod's wheel froze last week while it was playing music. I reset it like I was told and the wheel was still frozen.
I downloaded all the newest software. Reset it 3 times and it started working again.
It played just fine for about 25 songs and the wheel froze again. I could not forward songs, increase or decrease the volume...nada.
I reset and restored 5-6 times and now the screen won't go past the "Language" choice. I can't scroll down the language screen and all the resetting and restoring in the world is not helping.
What is the deal? This is an adult owned Nano that is 14 months old.
Thanks for the help

Mike,
It sounds like a hardware problem, but you can try resetting the SMC and PRAM:

PRAM

On the SMC reset, use the option for a battery you should not remove yourself.

IPod won't get past white Apple logo

I have a 4th gen. 8GB iPod Nano. For the life of me I can't coax it past the white Apple startup logo.
Done the hold switch and reset. Back to white Apple logo.
Reset and then enabled Disk Mode. Good sign. Connected to iTunes. RECOGNIZED! Added songs to it. Ejected it (still in Disk Mode). Did a restart with the same Apple logo.
Did the above but restored it after being recognized by iTunes and before adding songs. Still can't get past the white Apple logo.
Even used Disk Utility and reformatted it and then booted to disk mode and connected to iTunes. Same white Apple logo. It's pretty and all, but I want the darn thing to boot!
Any (and I mean any!) ideas would be appreciated.

ok. there is some progress. it is the most given advice when you search the internet for this issue. i was so frustrated and left the nano in my drawer for a whole week. then i wanted to give it a last try so i connected the nano to the pc and it booted to the menu where you can choose the language. the nano was also recognized by my mac and i thought it would work again. so i let it charge a bit an than my nano crashed again to the same problem. now it won't boot again. so my guess would be there's a probelm with the battery or something?

Satellite A300 will not get past splash screen

Hi All
got an issue with an A300 laptop about 2-2.5 years old. I have just installed windows 7 prof and it was working fine for about 3 days and then suddenly it stopped booting up.
It gets to the toshiba splash screen and then reboots. it does not even try to boot into windows. you can go into the bios and make changes etc. you cannot press f8 to load into safe mode it does not even get that far.
You can press f12 and get the boot menu up and try to boot from CD but this again does not work and it just reboots again
I'm not sure how else to troubleshoot it. I dont think its a motherboard problem as you can get into the bios.
It could be a HDD problem but then i thought it would have gave you a warning message of some kind ( no boot device available ) and you can see the HDD in bios and would have thought it would have at least booted to CD.
The only things i can think of are RAM problem HDD problem or Motherboard problem.
I think installing win 7 3days ago is just a huge coincidence?
Any help would be great. Thanks

Hi hitenkacha,
> tired to boot from a windows 7 disk and this does not work
In this case it seems to be a hardware malfunction because a Microsoft Windows disk should also work properly.
> i can try and flash the bios but im not sure how i can do that
This is only possible on Windows because its a Windows based update. Furthermore BIOS update will not help you if the hardware is defective.
> is my theory correct that if you can get into the bios then thats a sign that the Motherboard is ok?
Thats hard to say because for going into BIOS you dont need much performance.
I would recommend contacting an authorized service provider and let the guys check the hardware of your computer. Theoretically it could be everything so a professional diagnostic is recommendable in this case.
Good luck! :)

Ipod classic wont get past error screen

Have tried resetting numerous times, have tried putting it in disk mode(doesnt allow me to, just shows error screen) Basically it will reach the apple logo then go a screen with a x and it says to go to apple.com for support.

I have the same problem. I have not seen a posting for resolving, short of calling apple. Cannot get past "X" on the screen telling you to contact Apple.
