  • Repeatedly getting stuck on spinning wheel and grey screen, even after multiple re-installs of the OS

    Ok, so running Lion on a MacBook, (2010 i think) and the OS got corrupted(stuck on spinning wheel and grey screen on boot)
    Tried to repair the disk via disk utility using an install CD, no go, couldn't repair, so, did a clean install.
    New install went fine, computer worked for about 3 days and then stuck on the spinning wheel again.
    suspecting physical damage to the harddrive, I installed the OS to an external, and booted from there. Worked for a couple days and then stuck on the spinning wheel.
    I have repeated the process 5 times now, each time it works for a little and then craps out again.
    What's going on?
    as a note, when I say it gets stuck on the spinning wheel, I have left it for 12 hours trying to boot to no avail.

    The Apple Hardware Test doesn't always detect all errors.
    Next time you get the gray screen/spinning wheel, try booting into the Safe Mode to see if it will boot.
    Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

    This often indicates a failed drive.  Hope not.

    Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult.  If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore.

  • I was updating my macbook pro and it restarted but didn't boot up.  It made it to the gray apple screen with a spinning wheel underneath it.  What do I do?

    This was happening to mine as well and I had to take it in a few times and they had to wipe it completely. If your computer is more that 5 years old, it may be that it is time for a new one. I suggest taking it in so they can diagnose it!

  • HT4972 I can't update my Apple iphone. Its model firmware is 4.2.1. What can I do to update my iphone.

    I can't update my Apple iphone. Its model firmware is 4.2.1. What can I do to update my iphone.

    Probably because you have an iPhone 3G and 4.2.1 is the latest update that you can get for that phone - it is too old to support anything further.
    If you have an iPhone 4, then connect the phone to iTunes to update it and ensure that you have the latest version of iTunes too.

  • HT1369 i have a old i pod that i use to used and i stop useing it for a few years and now i have a i phone and i want to put all my music on my i pod in to my iphone and it would not allow me to do so what can i do

    i have a old i pod that i use to used and i stop useing it for a few years and now i have a i phone and i want to put all my music on my i pod in to my iphone and it would not allow me to do so what can i do

    You need to move the music from the iPod to your iTunes library on your computer then sync with the iPhone.
    Assuming you have a PC you can use this: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/

  • TS2634 My iPhone is disabled because my kids renter the wrong passcode, what can I do?

    My iPhone is disabled because my kids renter the wrong passcode, what can I do?

    If the iPhone is showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect the phone to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the phone and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the phone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

    Hi Drgeert-
    The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
    You probably need a new hub.

  • HT1937 My iphone 4s fell in salt water and not working. What can i do?

    My iphone 4s fell in salt water and not working. What can i do? My location is Russia. Is it possible to send my device to apple-USA for repair?

    No, you would have to send it to someone you know in the USA and have them take it to any AppleStore and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD. Apple will not accept a shipment from your and the warranty is not international.
    You can take it to a 3rd party repair shop and have them open it and clean it. But you need to do it quicly saltwater will very quickly damage the components without that phone.

  • I've lost my iphone 4S and i didn't active the Icloud so what can i do to find it

    i’ve lost my iphone 4S and i didn't active the Icloud so what can i do to find it ?

    Look where you think you left it. Report the loss to the police.  The Find My iPhone thing only works if you activated it before losing it, and even then only under specific conditions.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17869845 - stolen iPhone
    Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html
    Note that these features require you have the "Find My" activated before you lose the device, the device be turned on and able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad), and not having been restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it). If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8

  • Im asking icloud? how to change it if my iphone is now resset but appear in my iphone is icloud linked but my password i forget? what can i do???

    im asking icloud? how to change it if my iphone is now reset but appear in my iphone is icloud linked but my password i forget? what can i do???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart.
