It does not pass after the apple logo

Hi, I have a macbook pro from 2008 and now its giving me strat up problems, it does not pass the apple logo, and when it does sometimes the screen flickers and I can't do anything else but to turn it off.

I would take it into an Apple store or AASP.

  • I have an Ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo.  What do I need to do?

    This problem happened to me a month ago. The way I used to fix it:
    1. Go it DFU Mode. For going into that, check this page.
    2. Connect your iPod to your PC which has iTunes and iTunes will detect your iPod in recovery mode.
    3. Press Shift + Restore if you have the .ipsw firmware file downloaded on your windows PC or just click Restore and follow the instructions to download the firmware file.
    4. Wait and finally you're done!

  • TS1702 Ipod Touch, V2.  Hangs on start-up, from the reboot, does not go beyond the apple logo.  Not recognized in ITunes.  I'd know I need to restore, but how do I get it recognized in ITunes?

    My IPod Touch hangs on startup, doesn't go beyond the apple logo.  Tried the reboot, doesn't help. 
    I'm thinking I need to restore the system, but it isn't recognized in ITunes either.
    How do I force it to be recognized?

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow the restore.
    - Next try DFU mode

    - If you can't fully turn the iPod off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.

  • My Mac pro 2008, not running after the Apple logo, i rebooting and i rebooting

    My Mac Pro 2008 no boot afther the Logo Apple, reboot, reboot and reboot only, and in XP, the graphic is pertubed with bad graphics ... the mémory it's good, and i thinks my card graphic is out. SRY for my english, it's not my language. Help my please, my apple care is finished 10/2011, and i will repared itself. Many thanks. Alain Muno

    Not saying this IS your problem, but … I just went through avery similar problem with Mac Pro3,1. Here is my story.
    On boot of any Mac OP system drive, internal or externalHDD, (Lion or Snow Leopard), original Mac Pro install CD, Snow Leopard CD,nothing.  (Would only go to gray screen,apple logo, spinning gear that would stop spinning after about a minute.)  But, it would boot on XP drive.  However, in XP, on Windows black startupscreen, had alternating columns of two different patters of blue dots and XPgraphics were not as they should be (larger icons on desk top, slow response,different size of desk top (maybe 600x400 when it should have been1024x768).  Supplied hardware test showedno failures.  Took it to shop.  Their better diagnostics showed nofailures.  All peripherals (my drives, myCDs, etc, disconnected.  (NOTE: they didnot try a new video card since they did not have one.)  Still would not start even using their drives(external or internal).  Shop tried a newlogic board.  That did not work and theyput the original one back in.  Shop saidall they could come up with was new processors. This was not a cost effective option and they had none to try.
    After thinking about it more, I figured it could be thevideo card: the original 8800 GT that came with the Mac: that it was so bad itwould not start in Mac OS but would limp along in XP.  I was all set to buy another vid card one-bay just to try.  While doing thatresearch, came across several articles on the Internet that discussed vid cardfailure due to micro-cracks in some solder joints.  These develop due to age/heat cycles.  The proposed fix was to ‘reflow’ the solder.  Figured it was worth a try before spendingthe money on a new vid card.  Found thesedetailed instructions on youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7um_hZYom4  I followed the procedure, put the vid cardback in, and now it works just fine.
    I did not and would not do this until I had ruled outeverything else.  But, it has worked forothers and it did work for me.

  • When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

    When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes.  Then, the ipad will start up properly.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone 4 will not boot up, the apple logo does not go away

    The phone will not boot up, the apple logo stays on and does not finish booting.  All I did was delete an app, I went to reboot the phone becasue it was running slow and now it wont boot up at all.  I've tried the hard reset and nothing

    And then if that fails try this:
    What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
    Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
    Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
    Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
    Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button  for 20 seconds.
    Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.

  • After the apple logo my device wont open!

    Hello. I have an ipod touch 5g. I've been using it for at least 2 years. Today i updated it to ios 8.1. After that my device shut itself and didn't open. Whenever i tried to open it i can only see the apple logo. After the apple logo shows up it turns into the black. I also tried to plug my ipod to my macbook but there's no phone symbol appears in itunes. Also my home button is broken so i can't use it. What can I do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 5s goes black screen after the Apple logo is displayed

  • My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo

    My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo (unless the battery is dead, Then it tell me to charge it).  Once it gave me the connect to itunes screen.  I clicked restore in itunes but the ipod went back to the apple logo before the update download finished. I tried calling apple but my over the phone technical support just expired. PLEASE HELP! 

    This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
    1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
    2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
    3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
    4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

  • Can't open after the apple logo

    unable to continuosly open my ipad3, just stock up just with the apple logo and it turns off again.

    Hi Mayvel,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  Click on the link to see more details and screenshots. 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281?viewlocale=en_US
    Does not turn on (or power on) when you press any button
    Does not start up past Apple logo
    Appears frozen or unresponsive
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
