Mac Pro gets stuck on Apple logo

I installed Lion last week (clean restore) and everything was running fine... I left my mac for a little, came back and noticed on the top right of the mac by the time and spotlight the screen looked weird, like the screen was a different color, but it was just there. Then I realized the mac was also frozen. I held the power button and when it restarted it got stuck on the Apple logo...
I've tried restarting in Safe Mode. Held down the option key, tried using the Lion Recovery HD, a flash drive with Lion on it (that I used to install Lion with) and a Snow Leopard install disk. They all get stuck on the Apple logo. The weird thing is, my friend took out my HD from my Mac Pro and put it in his and it worked perfectly... So I thought it was a hardware problem with my mac, but the thing is, when I hold down the option key and I load into Windows 7 off of my mac it works perfectly fine, so it seems it's not a hardware problem...
Anyone get any ideas?
Thanks,
Zevie

Hardware can mean that you have something that Lion is allergic to.
Not that it prevents the machine from running 10.6 or Windows 7/8 even.
Don't repair a system with an older system. Or tool. Make sure that it is updated and compliant. Thinks like TechTool Pro 6 and DW all have to be tested, and updated. Disk Utility from 10.6.8 is probably not a good idea and does not understand the new drive partitioning. Use the Recovery Mode partition instead.
And wait. Unless you like to test a new OS or on the edge, where it bleeds.

Why does my ipod 4g constanlty get stuck on apple logo

Why does my ipod 4g constantly get stuck on apple logo

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 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.

Mac Pro gets stuck on the grey screen and won't finish booting

I have a Mac Pro 1, 1 recently (successfully) upgraded to snow leopard that gets stuck on the grey screen with the spinning rainbow cursor (after the apple logo and brief blue screen) and won't finish booting up. This happened after my computer froze up and I had to force quit. I checked out the forums and I tried all the all the suggestions (like disconnecting peripherals) and appropriate disk utilities, saw no errors with the HD reported, and had no trouble doing a safe boot (everything works o.k. there) or starting up from the software disk to perform the repairs. I did notice that during the repair permissions command, it gets stuck in the last few minutes, the CD starts to chug along, and everything freezes and I have to force quit. This happens every time I try it. I eventually backed everything up, erased the HD and reinstalled the OS, reset PRAM and NVRAM, but I'm still getting the grey screen on restart. Tech tool deluxe reports a "fail" on the video RAM, but everything else seems to check out. Could it be a graphics card issue? I did notice some funky visual glitches occurring prior to the breakdown. Any other ideas?

I wouldn't trust Apple Disk Utility to do a hard drive repair, but I would go with TechTool Pro 5/6 if you have that instead of Disk Warrior from Alsoft.
Clone the drive, though you should have some bootable backup clones already; repair the clone; then boot and work from that drive. Always have a working copy of the system.
And off load all your data to other drives.

Format with snow leopard install disk gets stuck at apple logo

Hi, I have a MacBook pro 17" which I want to format but have no install disks however I gt the mac os x snow leopard 10.6.3 disk from pc world today. I have been trying to format with that disk but every time it gets stuck at the apple logo, my current version is 10.6.6. Any help would be great

Does your machine meet [Snow Leopard system requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html]? What system was on it before, and why are you choosing to reinstall?
Does the disk you have obtained have a picture of a snow leopard on it, or is it gray? The latter will not work.
What model MBP? If it's very recent, the current retail SL disk may not work... only the disk that shipped with your machine will. Call Apple for replacements for a small fee.

Mac Mini 2013 stuck on apple logo

My Mac Mini is stuck on the apple logo with the spinner underneath it. I was running a program and put the computer to sleep. When I started it back up, the program was stuck. I couldn't get to the command options and shut it down. When it started back up, I typed in my password, but it continuously got stuck on all my account logins. I tried to safe boot it, but it just loads the progress bar and goes back to the logo and spinner, even if I leave it alone for half an hour. I tried to use the option button, but none of the options work. I tried unplugging everything but the monitor and turned off my Apple Bluetooth mouse. Still didn't work. It is a 2013 model, so it has no CD drive. PLEASE HELP! I need this working soon. If it is possible to migrate another Mac to fix it or migrate one onto the disk after I erase it, please let me know. If not, give me some advise. I need help ASAP. Thanks for your 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 startup failure is to secure the 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 the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
     a. Start up from 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.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start 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.
d. 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. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d 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 startup 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 start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up 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 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start 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 the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up 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, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup 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 restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the 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 restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
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 startup 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.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

MAC PRO FREEZES ON GREY APPLE LOGO START UP SCREEN.

My computer was acting funny for the last couple of weeks. It was slugish and slow to respond. When I was using it yesterday it froze up. I forced quit it and tried repeatedly to reboot. It makes the startup chime sound and gets to the grey apple logo screen then the spinning gear stops and it freezes.
My Specs:
2008 Mac Pro
OS X Lion 10.7.4
2 x 2.8 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon
10 GB DDR2 Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
1) Tried starting from the Lion Recovery HD partition. Received the same result (freeze on grey logo).
2) Confirmed the OS Startup Drive works. I removed the OS Drive and tried it in a HD Dock on my Maybook Pro. The drive runs normally. I'm able to navigate and open files.
3) Tied starting from Lion Startup Thumb Drive. Received the same results (freeze on grey logo).
4) Confirmed the Lion Thumb Drive works. Booted Laptop from this same device with no problems.
Now I'm scared. I'm running out of ideas. I'm guessing it is probably something on the logicboard. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions to what it could be? Is there a way I can test the logicboard myself?
Thanks for any help in advance.

The array and the OS drive are not "linked."
Nor are the drives fixed to the drive bay order. One of the drives in the array is "master" that knows what is on each sybling by the ID of the drives.
Clone the OS and keep handy. Never a need to do an OS install.
Backup the array as often as needed so the data is current and have two sets there also, ie TimeMachine for hourly or something and cloned.
What does matter is the OS version the array was created with as there are changes even during the life of the OS like Lion and not usually backward - so an array created with Leo had to be recreated with Snow, and same with Lion, only Lion 10.7.0 and 10.7.4 one was buggy, the 2nd changed the rules for 32 vs 64-bit mode drivers.
Take away: keep the last OS around, hold back on updates, make sure that you keep 10.7.3 around after 10.7.4 is out and working.
You can boot off any drive, SSD or something else and still mount and access the array.

My Mac g5 is stuck on apple logo screen, please help!

I have a Mac g5 before they had intel (so its pretty old) and today it was stuck on the apple logo screen and the fans become really loud. I don't know what's wrong with it, I'm scared to do anything as I don't wanna lose all my files. I was going to take it to the apple store to get it fixed but if there is nothing they can do I don't wanna take a 45 min drive to get there. Any info will help! Thanks!
Megan

Hi Megan,
Most Apple stote don't know what a G5 is, nor will most even look at them or work on them, so call 1st if deciding to try that.
If worse comes to worse we can easily pull the drive(s) & get the info back most likely.
You'll have to power off, then hold alt key at bootup to see if any boot disks show up.
If not...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Do you have the G5's Install Disc?

Boot camp restart gets stuck on apple logo/prohibited logo/? folder help

Hello,
I'm currently running OS X (lion) and I'm trying to install windows 7 via boot camp assistant. After creating a Win7 install disk via a bootable USB flash drive and creating my partition via the assistant. The computer restarts and goes into the load screen instead of the windows install process. It then flips between the Apple logo, Prohibited logo, and ? file not found folder. Could some one help me out and let me know whats going on. Thanks in advance! (I would try to install it via CD/DVD but the drive doesn't work.)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, you can't install Windows from an USB drive on a Mac with the SuperDrive. To start on OS X, press Option key while the Mac is starting and select Macintosh HD. Finally, open Boot Camp Assistant to delete the Boot Camp volume and take the Mac to an Apple Store to get the SuperDrive repaired

Headless Mac Pro getting stuck - need help with Crash Report

I have a headless Mac Pro being used as a server. It has recently begun to have problems such as slowing down for a few minutes with apps being slow or non-reponsive. It may serve pages, but the database or FTP may not respond. When logging with VNC (screen sharing) we may get a blank screeen or a screeen with lots of black squares and artifacts. If often clears up, but if fully black will usually require that I log on via SSH and reboot. It may be fine for a day and other days may slow down a few times.
The only apps are Abyss Web Server, Panorama database, CrushFTP (uses JAVA), and Backuplist+. Temperatures seem to be okay with the highest being the Nortbridge Heat Sink (167 degrees) and a memory module (163 degrees). The primary disks are a few months old and have over 200 GB of free space. I have done maintenance with Applejack, Onyx, and Disk Warrior.
It finally crashed altogether and I am not experienced at interpreting the reports so here is the crash report in the hopes that someone can help determine the problem:

THIS:
panic(cpu 1 caller 0x006376A4): NVRM[0]: Read Error
... Correlates with NVIDIA graphics card failure OR the use of two NVIDIA cards simultaneously in the same Mac Pro in 10.8 and later.
The Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250, works in every model Mac Pro, and drivers are in 10.6.5 and later.
If you decide to do a Conversion of your Server from 10.5 to 10.6, it is not too bad. Just plan on a brief downtime -- I tried to keep it all running 24/7 by creating a new Servername for the new one, and that serious mistake still haunts me.
You should plan on such a conversion to get closer to current security updates -- 10.5 is not getting those updates, and you should really disconnect your 10.5 Server from the Internet.

HELP! Ipod keeps getting stuck on apple logo

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

My iPhone 3 shuts off at random, gets stuck on apple logo, then says there is no battery?

this happens to me all the time. Im getting the iphone 5 in a couple weeks but this drives me absolutely crazy. At random times, whether its 100% or 20% or anywhere in between, my phone shuts off at the most random times. (at least 20x a day.) when i plug it in, it stays on the apple logo for about 5 minutes, then either turns on for a few seconds to my homescreen, or turns to the "low battery sign." and turns off. then i have to wait 1/2 an hour before it turns on and finally stays on. it stays on if it is plugged into my MacbookAir or into the wall. It crashes when im using pingertext free (i dont have a sim card because its in my dads spare phone) and facebook, but crashes anyway. this is really getting old and i have some important people i can only contact throuhg my phone..it also doesnt show my messages or texts most of the time. please help what should i do?

Sounds like it's physically broken. Make sure you're backing it up on a regular basis and keep your fingers crossed that it lasts till you get your new phone.

Ipod touch 5th gen, gets stuck on apple logo.HELP!

I guess I will just start from the beginning. FIRST OF ALL I HAVE ALREADY TRIED RECOVERY AND RESETTING PLEASE DO NOT SAY THAT! My iPod touch 5th generation was dead and i left it dead for a day or so before recharging it, I just hadn't gotten around to it and left it in a bag from my trip. When i plugged it in it looked like it was going to turn on, but it just showed the usual apple logo and then shut off again. After letting it charge a while longer, i unplugged it and tried to turn it on, still nothing. I plugged it into my laptop, nothing. I tried a different charger, nothing helped. I even tried resetting it, where you hold both the home button and power button, each and every time i got the white apple logo, and then it shut off again. I kept reading the Apple forum and different things online and a common answer was to put it into recovery mode. Previously, Itunes would not recognize it, but when i held down the home button and connected it, it did and asked me if i wanted recover or update or whatever it asks. I did it, it took like an hour to finish and NOTHING happened. There was no change. I talked with an apple employee and she just gave me pretty much the same answer as everyone else. PLEASE HELP ME! IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO?

Try what you have not already tried:
- 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 3GS cannot charge and gets stuck at apple logo screen

Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS, and yesterday it ran out of charge. I plugged it into my wall socket as normal, but all I got was the black screen with the apple logo, which disappeared after about 15 seconds. I have tried to hold down the home and on/off key together; to try and restore it, but nothing happened. I have tried to plug into my computer and open in iTunes, but iTunes does not find it. The only thing it appears to do when it is plugged into anything, is show the apple logo on the screen and then switch off after about 15 seconds. Anyone go any suggestions what I might be able to do? Thank-You (PS I am not technically minded so no techno speak would be appreciated)

But it was working perfectly well until yesterday.
Everything works until the day it breaks... Most electronics that fail don't give any warning.
I like the 3GS, so would like to be able to repair it, if I can?
Re-read the last sentence of my last post.
