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:

Macbook stuck on load screen, recovery mode unhelpful?

So my friend has a refurbished Macbook laptop running Lion that won't boot past the grey load screen with the spinning wheel. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to fix it and nothing has worked. I think that the hard drive might be going bad. These are the things I've tried that haven't worked:
- I've tried resseting the PRAM, no difference.
- I've tried booting into safe mode by holding shift, the logo flashes between an apple and question mark until you let go of shift, and then it tries to boot normally and fails to start as usual.
-I've tried entering single user mode to see where exactly the loading process is getting stuck. Here is a picture of where it stops (sorry for the bad quality)
The last 5 lines of code you see in the picture just repeat indefinitely until you shut off the laptop. It doesn't allow you to type on this screen (i.e., I can't use the fsck -fy command)
- I was able to boot the laptop into recovery mode, but it booted into it VERY slowly. And it continued to be very slow the entire time I was in the recovery mode. I selected the option to re-install Lion, I got to the window where you choose the disk to re-install, and the disk that shows is the recovery partition.
I tried using the disk utitilty to re-format the main partition but the disk "failed to unmount". I also tried dividing the main partition into 2 separate ones to see if that would work and it failed again.
Please, any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Also, I tried using the fsck -fy command with the terminal that's available in the recovery mode, and it came back saying everything was normal.

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.

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

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.

Hi my dads friend gave me his old iMac it was the computer and mouse no keyboard and it stuck on loading screen with logo and spinny thing he said it could be curruption in the software or chip out a few millimeters or something with the hard drive any help?? Please

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

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

Macbook Pro stuck at loading screen, one more question

I recently posted on the discussions forums about my MCP problem. Essentially, after a freeze I turned it off via the power button and then it does not turn on, stucking at the loading screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel.
I know that this is a widely known issue, and common solutions are to reset pram and try turning it on with through the install disk. I tried everything, but to no avail. Although I could turn it on through the install disk and run the Disk Utility program, it said that everything appears to be OK. So I was wondering if it is a hardware problem and I must get it to the apple store (which is a problem for me) and consult one of the genius members, or is reinstalling everything through the original disk might solve the problem as well?
When I turned it on through the disk, it had no problems booting. If I back all my data up, and then make a reinstall from scratch through the disk, would it solve the freezing problem?
I appreciate your help.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Reinstall OS X. This will not erase your hard drive.
Given that this is widely known then before posting your question you should have searched the forums to find previously posted solutions.

Macbook stuck on white screen with apple logo. help please

I have a macbook (black model) and while I was surfing on internet it is frozen. so I shut it down and restarted. When I restarted, it stuck on white screen with gray apple logo and seems like booting but nothing happens.
after that, I restarted again and put installation disc (leopard) without pressing any key and it opened normally. I backed up os with time machine but in one hour it is frozen again.
restarted again but this time it did not boot normally. so i tried booting from cd with c key, it opened installation screen. I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.
After all, I tried to erase and install system several times, but after language section when I click agree to terms and conditions, mac freeze again.
So, I do not know what to do. Any help please?
Note: I already tried PRM and Safe Mode. (after safe mode it took me to installation screen again and nothing changed.)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Uptade: Also, opened system profiler and clicked on Serial-ATA, it seems loading but do not show any info. stucked again! help please

HI,
*"I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported."*
You need to select "MacintoshHD 10.5.8 not "disc image" in order to run Disk Utility and Verify and if necessary, Repair the disk.
That's why you are seeing this dialog.
*are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.*
Also, run the Apple Hardware Test.
