Kernel panic, restored hard drive, stuck on loading screen....

yesterday i had a kenel panic occur when i booted up my Macbook Pro, i tried to boot to an SMC, tried to boot to a PRAM, finally booted to the install disk. Went to disk utility, erased the hard drive and restored it to a Time Machine Back up done 2 days ago. Turned on the computer, now it's stuck on the loading screen, but no kernel panic message.....booted again to the install disk, verified and repaired HD, and got the message the HD seems to be okay. WEnt to reboot and stuck again on loading screen. Help me get to my computer......please!!!
Let me know if you need further information, would love any help i can get.....thank you!!

a brody, thanks so much for the advice. quick question on the particulars: this is what i am assuming you mean to do:
1. go back to disk utility from the install disk and wipe the hard drive again.
2. run the install disk again and just try to install the base operating system from that disk
3. see if there are any problems from that point
4. diagnose problems
is this correct, or should i be installing the base operating system from another point (i.e. my external hard drive time machine back up, somewhere else in the Disk Utility options, etc.)
Thanks again for the help.

Kernel Panics over hard drive check

This happened out of nowhere.. I just opened gtk-chtheme and everything freezed... I hen hard rebooted the machine and it gave me a kernel panic. Rebooted again and the kernel panic happened during UDEV loading. Rebooted again and now it always happens during SDC1 journal's recovery (my /home partition).
I live-booted partition magic but when trying to mount sdc1--kernel panic....
Tried to mount it on windows "Drive is not formated" (all other Linux partitions work)
Booted from the arch cd (with root=/dev/sdb2 (my root partition)) and it gave me, not a kernel panic, but an error message about the state of the journaling system and the option to either use a maintenance shell or CTRL+D to reboot.
How do I recover this HD? Or better yet.. how do I backup my data from it?

What is the filesystem you use on that partition (sdc1)?

IMac is stuck on loading screen

Hello
My IMac (2009 i think), was working well, no problems at all. Tonight I started it and is stuck on loading screen. I have tried holding the Shift key and still doesnt stark. What can I do?
This morning it was working fine.
Thanks!

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.
Re-install if that doesn't work.

Unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours.

Hi, I am unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours. I did not try to update, nor load any other OS versions. Running a Bell Canada 10.1. Tried to pull battery, leave phone boot for 5 hours, still stuck on 99%. I tried plugging it in BB Link and computer will not recognize it.

I'm having some difficulty in understanding you.   What is mdnsresponder?   How can you edit files if you can't get past the blue screen?   What are you using to post these messages on the forum?
Let me suggest the following and see how you go.
Do you get the ‘Orchestral’ start up tone when you power up?
You might try this.
Shut down the machine.
Disconnect the power cable.
Wait about 15 seconds
Reconnect the power cable.
Wait a few more seconds.
Press the power button to restart.
If there is no change ...
Try to start the system in Safe Mode.   You can do this by restarting the machine and holding down the shift key as soon as your hear the start up tone.
More information on >>>      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
If the system boots in Safe Mode you could have a software issue and may need to reinstall the OS.    Which is why I asked if you have or can get the original DVD.

Ovi store stuck on loading screen (N8)

So I have this problem lately. I instaled new ovi store app and it get stuck on loading screen everytime I try to run this app.
I tried to reinstall it, I tried to reinstal phone soft and ovi store after and nothing changed.
pls help me with this. I cant use ovi store at all :/

Ok guys, I could solve the issue with some easy steps:
1) First, reset and restore.Do not restore backup because will restore corrupted files at the QT library, hence making the phone not working fine.
2) Now begin setting up your Nokia account and e-mail. Restart.
3) SW update now including ovi store. Access OVI store and update again. Restart.
4) Now, if you access the OVI store it will get stuck on "loading", so do not do it. You need now to connect the phone to your computer and install the support software from OVI SUITE. Then, disconnect and restart.
5) Now access OVIMAPS on your phone and setup automatic connection with your nokia account. Restart.
6) Great. You can access OVI STORE now and download whatever you want. You can also use the backup restore if you want but doing so will block some apps from uninstalling.
Everything is ok now. Have fun ;D

i downloaded ios5 an error message 3002 came up now my iphone stuck on loading screen and itunes doesnt recognize my iphone.
now my iphone has a blank screen for a couple seconds the loading screen appears then apple re appears.
A REPEATING CYCLE now i have No PHONE!!!! Help ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Try it...
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
i´ve done it and worked 100%
Good lucky

HT1455 My iMac stucked at loading screen( Spinning gear )..

My iMac stucked at loading screen( Spinning gear ), i tried everything including reboot process while pressing shift key in keyboard but it is not responding, please help me with this. thanks in advance.

You might try the following:
I would first reset the SMC:
Shut down and unplug the Mac.
Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
Hope this helps

Macbook stuck at loading screen

Hello,
I need help. My mac stuck on loading screen. I've tried everything, read different threads, nothing helped. Repaired in disk utility, it said OK. Tried to reinstall Mac OS, but after content is downloaded, computer restards to install it and stucks again. Tried hardware test, but it stucks when it's almost done. Did ar resets, repairs etc. Please help me!

If you've tried repairing the disk from the installation discs without success, you really need to try with something a little more robust. I'd suggest DiskWarrior. http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html
If that's not an option for you, you can consider an Archive & Install which will preserve your User, settings, and files. Have a look here:

Satellite T130 - Stuck on loading screen - new hard drive needed

After a message on screen saying back up your hard drive it will fail soon and pressing F1 it then seems to get stuck on the loading screen. I am not too clever with computers. Do I need to simply buy a new hard drive to get the laptop working again or is it far more complicated than that. My guess is the latter.
Thanks in advance for any help given

The first question is: have you created recovery media (USB stick)?
If not do it so long your HDD is working OK. original recovery image is saved on HDD but you must have it as USB back-up that you can use for installation if HDD must be replaced.
Do it as soon as possible. More about that you can read in users manuals.
What to do with HDD? In my opinion so long it works there is no reason for panic. Use your notebook as usual. If you will notice some performance problems or more and more error messages I think you should replace it.
HDD replacement should not be so problematic. HDD cover must be placed at the bottom side of your notebook. The smaller one is for RAM and bigger one must be for HDD. Check it out.
Before you do anything remove battery and disconnect your notebook from AC adapter.
If you don't have experience with this stuff please don't makes some risky steps. You can damage something.
