Mac Book Air is charged but the circle just keeps going around and I can't even get to sign in?

Mac Book Air is charged, the apple appears but the broken circle just keeps going and does not even take me to the sign in; any hints?

If you don't see any option, maybe your hard disk is damaged.
Close the OS X installer pressing the red button at the top left corner of the window, and open Disk Utility. Then, after opening Disk Utility, look at the left sidebar. What do you see at the top of the sidebar? Do you see the hard disk? If not, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get it repaired.
If you see the hard disk, select it and try to repair it. If it shows an error at the end, you will have to take the Mac to an Apple Store

I downloaded and tried 3 times but it won't install. The circle just keeps going around and around.

And Adobe has yet to provide a number for tech support or a chat capability. I just keep being redirected to tutorials that do not address this problem.

Joellewee you can contact our support team at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.
If you can provide additional details regarding the behavior you are experiencing and any specific error messages it would be appreciated. Are you able to begin the download process within the Creative Cloud Desktop application?

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem.

That sounds like the spinning beach ball and indicates your computer is busy. This can be caused by many things, I'd recommend reading the XLabs article about it, you can find that at:

Installing extensions and little circles just keeps going round and round, Help?

When I try to install new extensions, the little circle just keeps on going and the extension doesn't install.
When I go to extensions through the window>Extensions, it says there are three but only two work, onOne Software, which is installed on my machine, is empty.
When advised to download the Adobe Support Adviser, I follow the link to the page, only to be told that Adobe doesn't support this anymore.
Why can't I install any of the extension that I want and where are the onOne Software extensions?

Please provide more details. Windows or Mac? Which version of Extension Manager (CS6, CC, 6.0.8, 7.2.1, ...)? Could you provide the download link of the extension if possible?

HT3964 My screen appears, the apple shows up, but the circle just keeps spinning and nothing else happens.

My screen is grey, the apple icon appears, the circle continues to spin. I have shut done everything and restarted with the same result. Any suggestions?

The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. If your startup volume is encrypted with FileVault, you’ll have to unlock it in Disk Utility before you can do anything with it.

When I go to the App Store, the "circle" just keeps going and I cannot get to the updates - or anything else.

This is a strange problem. I want to update my applications. But when I click on App Store, the page opens but that is as far as things go. The rotating circles simply goes round and round but does not sign me in. I can gat to my Apple account, but not to the App Store.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

I have subscribed to Adobe Acrobat XI but the trial version keeps popping up and I can't seem to access the program I am paying for!

I trialed the Adobe XI and signed up for the subscription. I thought I had downloaded it but I cannot seem to access it. The trial version keeps blocking me.

close acrobat > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop app.> open acrobat.

I think we'd need a bit more info about how you got your iPod into the current state. DId it just happen at random, after swtching on or after an update? Have you tried a hard reset?

Ipad will not reboot circle just keeps going and going

can not charge ipad the circle just keeps going and going

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have a 2nd gen Mac book air with Lion. The hard disk has filled up even though i keep my data , music etc on hard drive . I used disk inspector to find where problem was and it is 20GB in the hidden files under the user directory can i resolve this ?

I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion . The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive . I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory . Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely. The data I actually keep on there is 9GB Thanks for any help

I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
I tried it out again.
I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
I watched to the end of the movie.
Then I quit Quicktime Player.
And I shut down the computer.
I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
I normally use vlc to watch movies.
Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc.
So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that.

My Mac book will power up but the apple sign remains in the middle of the screen and a gear turning below it -nothing else happens -can you help?

A couple of things to try:
PRAM reset by holding down cmd-opt-p-r on restart. Hold down the keys until you hear the second startup tone.
If you have a wireless keyboard, wait until you hear the startup tone, then press the keys.

Boot into Safe Mode by holding down Shift key on restart. Same timing applies to wireless keyboard.
Safe Mode takes a while to boot. It will show a progress bar. It will boot to the login screen. Log in, then restart normally.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
Boot into Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r. Same note for wireless keyboard. Once booted, run Disk Utility and repair Macintosh HD (or whatever you have renamed it).
