Mac Book stuck on loading screen please help.

hi,
i was installing the new OS leopard on my macbook and it got half way through and it said there was a problem and i needed to restart the computer, well now everytime i turn on my macbook it gets to the white screen with the apple and the loading circle and nothing else. ive been able to get the DVD out of the drive, but dont know what i can do to get it back working.

boot with the CD in the drive and then it will send you to the Leopard disk screen.. i believe you will have an option to repair the bombed upgrade.
Cheers

Did you select the Pages app to sync to the iPad? Do you know how to do that or do you auto sync and rely on that only?

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Itouch stuck on startup screen-please help!

My itouch has been stuck on the startup screen since last night; first I tried letting it charge, and after 30 minutes with no results I unplugged it, let the battery drain completely and started again. After another hour of charging with no results I tried restarting it, again with no results-upon restarting it returned to being stuck on the startup screen. This morning I tried letting it drain again and it became extremely hot until it turned off again. A while ago I plugged it into my computer, hoping to reset and restore it, but it is now, once again, stuck on the startup screen. It's not even being recognized by iTunes or my computer. My ipod is NOT jailbroken btw. Please help!! I don't think I can go on much longer without my music lol

What do you mean by startup screen?
Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is likely in order since the hotness tends to indicate as hardware problem.

Mac book pro or windows..please help me.....

Ok so I have a mac mini….i wanna get a mac book pro…im gonna get the 7200 rpm drive..2gb ram.everything good with it as you vcan probably terll money is not an issue…but I c that the mac book pro only has a 2.16ghz processor…..now ive looked at windows computers and they have like over 4ghz… would a windows be faster……..
Any help is apreciated

Ahh, it all depends on what you're doing. What is it that you want to do? It's an important consideration when buying a computer. This is my (rough) understanding of Windows-compatible processors (gleaned from my PC using friends).
AMD processors are like a race car, they go really fast, but try taking all your shopping home in them (ie. great for single processor intensive tasks, but fall down on multi-tasking.)
Intel processors are a people carrier, their handling ain't so snappy (ie. great for multi-tasking but their MHz just don't go as far when you really push them to do something hard like top-end gaming, graphics or video.)
These are generalisations, and silly analogies. Bear this in mind. If you want to know more, you need to learn about processor queues, pipeline stages and such - I know the slightest smallest teeniest bit about that, but you can google it yourself if you wanna know that badly.
The top spec laptop is always slower than the top spec desktop. If your 4GHz system is a PC desktop (which I'm assuming, I've never heard of a 4GHz laptop) then of course it will be faster (although there are other things to take into account, like frontside bus speed, memory bus speed, L2 cache, single/dual processor which are also very important). To be honest though, if you don't understand this stuff, then why do you need a very fast computer?
If you're doing games you're gonna having to learn about this (and I'd definitely recommend a top-spec Windows desktop machine).
If you just want a computer to some word processing, e-mails, videos and photos then get the mac - it's way more compatible (can run OS X and XP) and a lot more pretty, and a lot easier to use
If you're involved in creativity, again, I'd recommend the Mac - it's just the done thing and the laptop'll have plenty of poke for nearly anything (except maybe heavy-duty HD video editing).
Oh yeah I agree with the last guy as well, Windows does end up running slow as sh*t after a year tops. Basically it requires an annual system reinstall if you want any sort of performance out of it

Desktop will not load, stuck on blue screen -- please help!

As I can see, many other Mac users have encountered the same problem that I now have: the dreaded ‘blue screen of death’. About a week ago, any internet browser that I tried to open (Safari, Firefox) would freeze after loading its home page, and tell me that the application was not responding. After force quitting and restarting each program a couple of times, with no positive response, I decided to restart my computer to see if that would do the trick. Upon booting up, it then started the same sequence that it is still doing now: first a grey screen will briefly show, then a white screen with the apple logo and a turning dial beneath it, followed by a blue screen which will show a window that says “Starting Mac OS X” with a progress bar beneath it, which will fill to various points (sometimes only 1/8 of the way, while other times it fills completely), but it always leads me to the same screen – solid blue with a black arrow that will occasionally be replaced with a turning dial, only to go back to the arrow again. I am using a PowerBook G4 with the Tiger version of OS X. No applications were running whenever I first decided to restart my computer, and to my knowledge, all software and security patches were up to date and fully installed.
I’ve researched and tried every possible option that I’ve come across, listed below with the results they yielded (if any):
 Holding the Command/Option/P/R keys upon startup (screen stays blank, and the computer continues to ‘chime’ until I release the keys. I have allowed it to chime a couple of times before I stop holding the keys, but it always leads me back to the same blue screen)
 Holding the Shift key upon startup (leads me to a screen that has an icon of my hard drive and two arrows. Clicking the left arrow does nothing, the hard drive icon does not respond to being clicked, and the right arrow starts the loading process which again ends with the blue screen)
 With the first OS X Installation disc that came with my computer inserted into the disc drive, holding the C key (nothing happens; sequence as normal)
 With the first OS X Installation disc that came with my computer inserted into the disc drive, holding the Option key (same results as holding shift key with no disc)
 With the first OS X Installation disc that came with my computer inserted into the disc drive, holding Option/Command/Shift/Delete (a grey screen appears with the icon of a folder, a question mark briefly flashes before being replaced by the two-toned blue face Mac logo. After continuing to hold the keys with this folder and face on the screen, I get no response, so release the keys and the computer continues to enter the white screen-blue screen sequence)
 Holding the Command/Option/O/F keys upon startup (a white screen appears, and following advice I have seen on other forums a type ‘reset-nvram’, then return, then ‘reset-all’, then return. The computer reboots and the sequence continues as usual. I have also tried holding the Command/Option/P/R to reset the PRAM immediately after leaving the white Open Firmware screen, allow the chime to sound a couple of times as before, but still I get no results)
 While on the blue screen, pressing the Command/Shift/Q keys (alas, I am the only user on the computer, so I cannot try to remedy my problem by signing into another account. From the screen the appears, I can either shut down, restart, or put my computer to sleep, or enter my password which leads me back to the same blue screen again)
I apologize in advance if I’ve included a lot of extraneous information, but I just wanted to cover the options I’ve already explored so as not to waste your time if you had any of these in mind. I’m going to post this on a few different forums just to make sure I have all my bases covered, but anything you have to offer in the way of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you could post your advice in layman’s terms that would be even more helpful; I’ll probably need exact, step-by-step instructions if required to start my computer in ‘safe mode’ or anything else an average user would not be familiar with. I know this is a lot to ask, so I thank you in advance for taking the time to read through this and offer any solutions that you may have.

Hi amnicolekidman, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Although you don't specify your Mac, it sounds like you have real HW problems, likely the HD.
Tough without a Tiger Disk, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup. Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found: ** The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK  If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message: *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***   Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.

Mac is stuck at loading screen?

Hey i've got a macbook pro. Last night it was working fine, but I turn it on this morning, and its stuck on the loadup screen. I went to a few forums and found that the computer would not load from the Install CD.
And I run the computer in single player mode and done the fsck -fy command and found the following errors.
:/root # fsck -fy
** /dev/rdisk0s2
** Root file system
   Executing fsck_hfs (version diskdev_cmds-491.3.3~1).
** Checking journaled HFS Plus volume.
** Checking extents overflow file.
** Checking catalog file
   Keys out of order
(4, 2028)
** Rebuilding catalog B-tree.
** The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired.
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Can anybody tell me what I can do to fix this problem?
PLEASE!!!

You tried booting from your install CD, and that wouldn't work? Did you insert it and boot holding the "C" key down? That will normally allow you to boot from CD, so you can run Disk Utility and repair disk. You can use either the gray-faced OS X CD that came with the system or a black-faced OS X retail disk.
If the disk can't be repaired, your next step is to buy Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro, which can repair errors that Disk Utility can't repair (I'm including the manual method you tried which didn't work). Most people use Disk Warrior. If Disk Warrior can't repair the disk, then you probably need a new hard drive. Some have tried zeroing out the hard drive and restoring to it, however, if there's a fundamental hard drive issue where it's on it's last legs, then that's only a temporary solution.
You can download Smart Utility from http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php and it will give you more detail on the hardware condition of your hard drive. If it's status is yellow or red, then you should replace the hard drive.

OS X Yosemite made my Mac Book Pro really slow. Please Help. I've had this Mac for less than 6 months and worked fantastic until now.

I've had this Mac for less than 6 months and worked fantastic until now. I'm not 100% familiar with Mac so any help would be helpful. Thanks!

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What other changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

My imac g5 is stuck on grey screen, please help :(

it started with the **** spinning wheel that wouldn't come unstuck, i had to shut down from the start button at the back. i restarted & now comes to grey screen, then the folder with '?' icon blinks. i put install disk and manage to try repair disk through disk utility, it said it couldn't repair some files(i 4got to take note...idiot). i figured to try archive/re install but it failed. i restarted and it managed to get to the desk top, so i used cocktail to do general house clean. i left and came back in 15min and the imac was shutdown, i powerd back up and now its just grey no folder'?' icon....nothing. i have pram 'd it still no go. has it bricked up?

Your drive is dying, back up now and then get a new one. Daddy Paycheck is absolutely correct.

Can I use my mac book to play live? Please help, Im stupid!

I would like to use my macbook/garageband live, as I have recorded backing tracks. I would like to send them and a click to the drummer and the backing tracks only to the PA. Am I able to do this? And if so, what other devices would I need?
Thanks in advance.
Barry

GB would definitely NOT be something I'd use in a live setting, if it tossed up an error msg in the middle of song...
Could you try doing it? Sure, pan the outputs left for the monitor mix, and right for the house mix, I guess.
if you really want to do live work, you might consider software purposed for that, something like Live from Ableton.

I do hope you have recent backup, because it look like your hard disk is failing. You can start up in Recovery Mode, and run Disk Utility to see if the disk can be fixed: OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

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:
