Loading Screen stuck... won't change to my desktop.

Hey guys, i'm really looking for some help. So i turned my computer on, and the loading screen (gray background, apple in the middle, rotating loading circle), the circle just keeps rotating and my computer won't "turn on". I tried waiting and trying later in the day, same problem. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Turn it off. Hold down the option key and try and boot off the DVD. If that is a non starter then try a safe boot by holding down the shift key after the chime. If that gets you nowhere then see if the machine will boot to target mode (hold down t key) and hook it to another mac via firewire. You can also see if any errors are showing up as the machine trying to boot by holding down command v at boot. You could also try doing a file system check via single user mode. Your machine seems to be hanging right after BootX and the kernel is trying to load.

The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked

the screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked on the bottom of the screen and when I release the side button. Any ideas?

If rotation lock is not set (i.e. there is no lock symbol next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085), then try 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.

Premiere will freeze at loading screen and won't start. Running win7 64bit

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem here.
I just recently upgraded to CC because I had this issue with the CS 6 versions.
The problem:
Premiere Pro, inDesign, Illustrator and After Effects won't start. They will all get stuck at the loading screen. The weird thing is that Photoshop and Lightroom work without any problems.
I've tried restarting, completely wiping all Adobe Software with the cleaner tool and reinstalling. I've contacted support via chat and the couldn't find a fix. I then looked for weird processes in the task manager and found out that after a while (2-5 minutes) of letting Premiere show a blank loading screen (no "Loading ..." / "Initialising..." etc), suddenly "Loading ImporterPhotoshopProxy.prm" will appear and a process called "PhotoshopServer.exe" will show up in the task manager. If I kill this process then Premiere will start.
Has anyone had similar problems? Can't find anything on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you had problems with CS6 upgrading to CC or CC2014 will not solve your problems. You must have basic hardware/software problems that only will get worse going to more complex versions. Do you have any third party codec pack installed? You must have rogue processes running. When you start up your system how many processes are running, look at your task manager?
What is your hardware configuration?

The Infamous Loading Screen Stuck!

Lets start from the beginning:
My boss got this Mac Book Pro from the apple store during the summer, and had an instore immediate upgrade on the ram. The next day we were doing some major updates, when out of no where it loads to the grey screen (with the little spinning gear). After about 2 days of tech support, all we get is a "REINSTALL OSX".
Well after that mayhem, we've arrived again to this same infamous loading screen (with the spinning gear). This is the second time, and after buying tech support (phone) just to fix it again, the only answer we get is, "REINSTALL OSX." Can anyone please help with another fix to this? I've backed up all the files to our second mac, however, the last time the computer was at tech support, we got it returned, minus the installation dvds (which is why it is a problem now).
This only happens when there is a required reboot, after updates.

Right… this is what I would do…
1) Reinstall Mac OS X using the "Erase and install" option (selected when you are offered destination drives)
2) Reset PRAM and NVRAM…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
… and the System Management Controller…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319.
3) Before applying any updates Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility.
4) Apply the firware update ONLY. Be careful to follow the instructions to the letter.
5) If you can get past there I think you problems are done with.

Screen Brightness won't change no matter what I do

Hello guys:
For the time I've been using ArchLinux my screen brightness buttons don't work. Also power options for adjusting screen brightness do nothing, so you see why I have a problem, my screen eats the laptop's battery... I've also tried adjusting the values of /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD02/brightness, but saw no effect. I'm using an Acer Aspire 5740-5513, which has an intel core i3 using Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD

Hey guys, the following script I wrote might be useful for increasing/decreasing and/or setting brightness to min/max using 'xbacklight' so you can bind it to some of your key combination. For example i have FN+f2 set to '/path/to/script down' to decrease '/path/to/script up' to increase etc ...
Respect
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
exit 1
elif [ $1 == "down" ]
then
xbacklight - 10
elif [ $1 == "up" ]
then
xbacklight + 10
elif [ $1 == "max" ]
then
xbacklight = 100
elif [ $1 == "min" ]
then
xbacklight = 10

Hanging on Loading Screen

We are using Presenter v7.07 and have a quiz embedded. When we export to presenter, the file 'hangs' on the loading screen.
When we changed the 'viewer.xml' file to an older version of the file it works fine - although obviously we cannot use the older version of the file as it has been updated since then.
We have also changed this file from a PPTX to a PPT file and this also never resolved the issue
Your input on this would be appreciated

Hi
We went through your presentation and found that there is some issue with quiz.
When a quiz slide is inserted and deleted or when a navigate to slide is set and that slide is deleted we get ino this problem.
Each slide in Powerpoint has a unique ID. Presenter remembers this and then assigns the go to slide navigation
When you delete that particular slide Presenter for some reason does not update it.
In order to workaround your problem you can do the following
1. Go to Quiz >> Manage
2. Select your Quiz and click in edit.
3. Click on the Pass or fail options tab
4. Click Ok on all dialogs and publish.
Hope this solves your problems
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart

Help! My Tour won't boot, gets stuck on loading screen.

Earlier today, while my tour was charging it randomly rebooted itself, but it wouldn't boot all the way - the load screen froze about 2/3 of the way through and then didn't do anything (for like 15 minutes) I did both a hard and soft reset, but the phone still won't boot past that point. Because it won't boot, I can't connect it to the computer to reinstall the OS or anything.

Hi there,
Unfortunately it sounds like you might have what is called a bricked or "nuked" BlackBerry. There are ways to fix this, but it can take a couple of extra steps.
Start off by downloading the OS from your carrier to your computer. You can find your carrier's BlackBerry download site here: http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp. Once you've downloaded the OS for your device, install it to your computer.
Next, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader and open the Loader.exe file (note: if you have a 32-bit OS, there will not be an (x86) after Program Files). Click Next to go to the Communication Port Selection page. Now here is where you need to watch carefully and be on the ball to ensure it works.
Take your battery out of the your BlackBerry and plug your device into your computer. As soon as you see USB-PIN:UNKNOWN in the connection spot, click Next. If you miss it, don't worry, just unplug the device and plug it back in again to start the boot cycle again. Once you've made it to the next page, you should be good to go to reload the OS. At this point in time, you can also reinsert the battery.
Then just follow the steps to reload the OS and you should be set. As a warning though, if you have not recently backed up your device, there is a chance that you may lose the data on the device.
Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.

My MacBook is stuck on the loading screen. Please help! Not sure what to do

Hi, so my MacBook has stopped working for some reason
I've just tried switching it on but it has stopped on the loading screen.
I am scared and not sure what to do.
Please help!!!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

Macbook Pro won't load past white loading screen when turned on after kernel panics

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro and recently its been having repeated kernel panics. In the past few days its been turning off every few minutes or so. yesterday it had one and now when I try to turn it on it doesn't load. I get the white loading screen with the apple logo and a loading bar underneath. But after the bar fills about 5% of the way (if that) the bar just disappears and the spinning loading icon just keeps going without anything happening (however long I leave it).
Please can someone give me some suggestions to fix this. Just a few things to note:
a) I'm not great with computers so any fixes please explain in the most simple terms
b) I have VERY important work files on there that are NOT backed up (big mistake I know), so please only suggest fixes that will not remove these Microsoft Word files. Guaranteeing the safety of my work is paramount with any suggestions.
c) I may not have any of the disks which came with the Macbook Pro originally (though I may somewhere)
d) I've read some other forum posts and it seems that I need to know the details of my operating system. I don't know these and have no way of accessing them on the computer (for obvious reasons). Its a late 2011 Macbook Pro if that is of any help.
A massive thank you to anyone who can suggest a fix to these, I shall be eternally grateful.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.

c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to boot from an external drive, or else to use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.

Step 10
Repeat Step 9, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.

Pearl stuck on load screen 100%

Not sure why it even needed to reset. I just looked at it and it was on the load screen - bar loaded to 100%.
After half an hour nothing has changed, and the phone is unresponsive.
I've tried a battery pull.
After looking on google I found this
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Bold/Stuck-on-start-up-screen/td-p/572603
Which tells you to reset the software through blackberry desktop manager,
but...
The desktop manager won't connect to my phone and is stuck on connecting.
I've only had the phone for under 2 months!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
