MBP 13" Mid-2012 stuck on apple logo after installing Maverick

I own a MBP 13" Mid-2012 with Mountain Lion installed on it. When I upgrade to Maverick via Apple Store/Internet Recovery/USB it gets stuck on Apple Logo with a grey spinning wheel below. I tried disk repair with disk utility, and resetting PRAM but still nothing happens. When I reinstall Mountain Lion it works again. And no, unfortunately I don't have a back up. What to do? Please don't tell me to bring it to an Apple Store because all they have to say is that my logic board needs to be replaced which I couldn't afford. Help!

Sooner or later, your logic board is going to fail completely. You need to start a backup, preferably more than one

  • My MBP 13" Mid 2012 wont start up anymore after Yosemite update

    My MBP 13" Mid 2012 wont start up anymore after updating to Yosemite. I tried various fixes but i think this escalated to an HDD problem. Startup disk wont show up both in DiskUtility and re-install OSx via Internet Recovery. Though I kind of doubt that an update can actually harm your HDD or RAM, is it even possible that Yosemite Effed up my unit? Should apple be responsible for the fix?
    Thanks!

    Hello djChrisFox,
    Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Pro needs to be serviced.

    The icon of the Apple TV no longer appers on the top menu and my Mac is unable to discover it...
    The Apple TV Box is upedated to the most recent software version.
    Apple TV is connected to the same Wifi network of my Mac
    I have a:

    Hello M.A.S.Ramos,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    OS X Mavericks: Wirelessly mirror your Mac screen to your HDTV
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14375
    Make sure your Mac and your Apple TV are on the same network.
    Choose your Apple TV from the AirPlay status icon in the menu bar.
    Choose This Mac or your Apple TV depending on how you want to match the desktop size of your Mac.
    OS X automatically detects an Apple TV when it’s on the same network, and displays the AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When AirPlay Mirroring is active, the status icon is blue.
    Have a nice day,

  • Iphone 3g got stuck in apple logo after resetting

    I tried to reset my iphone3g with the option which will delete all the datas and medias from the settings of iphone.It said it would take one hour or so to complete but its more than three hours and my iphone wont start.it gets stucked in the apple logo after restarting and the circle of working appears continuously.What should i do? Any help

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    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. In your case, select"new".

  • Ipod touch 5thgen stuck on Apple logo after updating to IOS 6.1

    I updated my ipod touch to the latest version 6.1 and after updating it restarted and was frozen at the apple logo screen since Monday. I tried calling Apple Support and they went through the steps of getting into recovery mode as well as trying to reboot my ipod touch but I first had to update & restore first through iTunes. I wasn't able to update because my connection kept timing out so I decided to download the ipsw file from this website: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    After waiting a whole day for the download(because my internet connection is really slow), iTunes said that the ipod could not be restored because firmware was not compatible. I tried both version 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 and both came with that error notice. I don't know what to do now and I really need some help! I've tried holding the home+lock key many times and went through the whole procedure but nothign seems to work. It already says that my ipod updated to 6.1 but its just stuck at the apple logo. Help me Please!!!

    If not successful try the remaining steps of the following:
    - 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.

  • Iphone 3g stuck at "apple logo" after erase all content

    Hey.
    I was given an iphone 3g from my friend. It worked perfectly.
    I wanted to erase all the content and stuff from the phone, so I selected "Erase all Content and Settings".
    After the phone perfomed this, it has gotten stuck in a loop. It is continously showing the apple logo on a black screen. After about 5 minutes, it flashes white, and then starts to show the apple logo on a black screen.
    Research online says that I have deleted the Operating System. How do I get this working again?
    The phone was recognized by USB before I selected Erase all Content and Settings.
    Now, if I plug it into USB, it charges the phone but itunes doesnt recognize.
    Please help!!!!!
    PS: My powerbutton does not respond when I press on it. Its broken,

    Had the same problem, do this,
    Force the phone into recovery mode:
    Turn your phone off. 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. In your case, select "new".

  • IPhone 4 stuck on apple logo after ios 5?

    I had iOS 5 for about 2 days, and now I restarted my device and it is stuck on the apple logo. if i go into the dfu mode, it gives me error 3194 when i try to restore and update. pls help, thanks

    "This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw."

  • HT201210 My iPad is stuck w/Apple Logo after upgrading to IOS 7.0.4

    Please advise if there is a way to shut down my IPad, software upgraded 7,0.4?  Help

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Iphone stuck at apple logo after every reboot?

    I came to know d solution of first holding home and sleep button then press + button but why is it happening after every reboot i am doing?help

    Hi kstbespoo,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone won't get past the Apple Logo even after a reset.
    If so, you may need to restore the iPhone with iTunes.  Note you should have a good backup.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    5.  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    6.  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
