  • G5 mac wont boot up past white apple screen

    My kids mac wont boot up past the white apple screen. I can here everything running but the monitor starts to get all static and scan lines with a reddish tint to it. I tried the commandoption+pr but it still wouldn't boot-up past the white apple screen. Not sure what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Hi there Peter,
    Not cheap anyway you look at it sorry, professional Data Recovery being the most expensive.
    Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, and the only other Apple Options are erasing the HD, or installing OSX to a second drive, then using Migration Assistant to move stuff over to the new HD.
    If Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

    Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

    This one would require another HD with plenty of space to recover to.
    You should use another Boot Disk or other Mac with this one in Target mode to do the recovery.
    They have a free demo to see what it could recover.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

  • My i mac wont boot up past the start screen

    My imac wont boot up past the grey screen with the apple logo, the progress bar gets to about midway and stalls at this point.
    I even left the system on in this state for the remainder of the day to no avail.
    The original problem which resulted in the grey screen, was that when the system did boot up i had a black screen with only the task bar, however when the task bar tabs opened i could not get any of the options to actually operate/function. At this point i turned the system of and after the third attempt the system faltered to the grey screen.
    I have tried the Safe mode boot/nram/pra/smc rests but the system still stalls midway on the progress bar, even holding the c key.
    Help please....

    See if the computer will boot into the Recovery Partition (Command + R on startup) if it won't that means the HD has likely crashed and the ONLY thing to do is get it serviced.

    Try the remaining items of:
    - 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.

  • My iMac wouldn't boot up past the Apple logo...

    My iMac wouldn't boot up past the Apple logo, so I tried to boot up from the install disk. Now all I have is the icon for a folder with a ? Mark on it and it is flashing. Now I can't get my disk back out. Any suggestions?

    You cna get the disk out by holding the left wired mouse button and/or the option key down on a wired (not wireless) keyboard while booting up the machine and then pressing the eject key when Startup Manager loads.
    The flashing icon on the folder is the firmware can't find the bootable volume assigned to it. Could be a software or hardware problem, could be it forgot or can't find it.
    If you booted with the option key held down, then if you see your OS X boot volume then select it and hold the Shift key down for Safe Mode, set System Preferences > Startup disk again.

  • My Ipad device is only showing the apple icon nothing else is happening..what's wrong

    How do I get my screen to come back on, it is only showing the apple icon.

    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 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.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen 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 (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
