My iPhone has had the small spinning loading circle going for 20 minutes, how do I stop it?

My Iphone has had the small spinning loading circle going for nearly 30 minutes, it plugged in to my mac but nothing is happening! im not sure if i just ran out of battery,, what can I do?

Have you tried a reset? Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • Spinning wheel stays on for several minutes at a time, can't connect to app store

    Hi I have an imac, about two years old. It has recently started freezing constantly, can't connect to the app store and the rainbow spinning wheel stays up for several minutes at a time regardless of what apps are open or what I'm trying to do. Safari will work for a minute or two then will say it can't connect, I then have to quit the app then open it back up to have it fail again shortly after. I've cleared out my cache, started it in safe mode, done the disk repair through disk utility, done virus scans and nothing has helped. It started doing it suddenly - fine one day then not the next -  but I haven't put any new apps on or made any changes I can think of that might be the cause. Can anyone help?

    One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
    Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
    If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

  • I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari. It's obviously a glitch in Apple

    I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some  reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

    sounds like a corrupt database or index
    the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
    I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

  • IPod touch 5th gen. and iPhone 4 will not connect to home Wifi.  No issues anywhere else, just at home.  iPhone 6 had the same problem, but was able to correct with network reset.  Tried absolutley everything the boards say and nothing works.  Help.

    Brand new iPod 5 and periodically will pick up our home Wifi, but when it loses it, it's impossible to reset.  Says "incorrect password" and it is the correct password.  No issue at all with Android devices or anything else on Wifi.  Only the iPod and an iPhone 4.  My iPhone 6 had the same issue, but I was able to correct it by resetting the network.  This "fix" doesn't work on the iPod or old iPhone.  Just keeps saying "incorrect password" no matter what you do.  Connection has been reset, passwords have been changed... Nothing fixes it.  And both are operating on the latest iOS update.  I just updated it.  Still doesn't work.  How crazy.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network. Yes
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before? no
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:  (Not clear what you did)          
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Since it connects to other networks that indicates a problem with your network

  • My iphone 5 was recently stolen. I had the service shut off, but I don't know how to remotely wipe out my data from my phone! Please help!!

    My iphone 5 was recently stolen. I had the service shut off, but I don't know how to remotely wipe out my data from my phone! Please help!!

    YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
    Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that.

  • TS3899 My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account

    My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account for the last two days.  I get a 'recipient rejected by the server' message.  I have not changed any settings.  If I change the from address to i-cloud the e-mails go.  Advice please.

    i think you need to contact your email provider - that sounds like an issue on their end and nothing to do with your phone.

  • My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date

    My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date. And I cant restore my iPhone becuase when I go onto iTunes it says that it can't find my iPhone. I have tryed to download the most resent iTunes because I went to apple website and just hit download iTunes so I guess it's the most resent version and I don't know what to do. Should I go to an apple store?

  • I was cleaning up the desk top on an old power mac G4 when I restarted an got a circle with slash and the small spinning wheel under it nothing else

    I received an old Power Mac G4 Quick Silver and was cleaning the desk top.  When I restarted all I got was a circle with a slash and the small spinning wheel under it...nothing else

    I suppose 3.6V PRAM battery is run out , so you'd better replace it.
    Or resetting PRAM could solve the problem.

  • HT4623 While updating my iphone 3GS, i am getting a message that no sim card is installed in iphone. also my iphone has sows the message that iphone could not be activated because activation server is unavailable

    While updating my iphone 3GS, i am getting a message that no sim card is installed in iphone. also my iphone has shows the message that iphone could not be activated because activation server is unavailable. I have reinserted the some, yet the problem persists. Please help.

    If your phone was EVER hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's now re-locked to its original carrier and will work only with a SIM card from that carrier..

  • To anyone who has had the trackpad problem and had it replaced...

    So if anyone has had the trackpad problem where it doesn't click or erratically doesn't move the cursor, and HAS gone to the apple store and had it fixed, does your new one work properly now?
    I have an appointment this evening to have it looked at (and probably replaced) but if this is a consistent problem with all models, its not going to fix it. I am wondering if I should wait until Apple catches on to this, and does something about it.
    Anyone have any success stories?

    My suggestion would be to KEEP your MacBook. There are several other discussions with the same issue.
    It seems as though this issue is widespread.
    Why copy data, wipe the old one clean, trade out for a new MacBook, transfer all the data BACK .... only to find your issue unresolved?
    It's not worth the hassle. My guess? Apple will issue a firmware update for the trackpad issue.

  • Since I upgraded to IOS8, iphone has changed the way it calls via car bluetooth.  Before (IOS8) once I hit 'call' it was transfer to car speakers and i would hear dial tone until answer.  Now, call will only transfer to speakers once call is answered

    Since I upgraded to IOS8, iphone has changed the way it calls via car bluetooth.  Before (IOS8) once I hit 'call' it was transfer to car speakers and i would hear dial tone until answer.  Now, call will only transfer to speakers once call is answered.  This is very incovenient as I never know if my call is going through, and sometimes when call isn't answered immediately I have to look at my phone to cancel the call.  Is there a new setting I am missing?

    Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

  • An iBook has reversed the way it loads and scrolls.

    An iBook has reversed the way it loads and scrolls i.e. instead of turning the page right to left to go to the next page I need to swipe left to right. But my other book are fine. Can anyone help?

    I have, but if I don't have that particular external hard drive connected when my time machine backup hard drive is connected, then I don't think it is all backed up together.  It is getting too complicated to get out all this equipment every time I want to buy some music. 

  • HT1420 how do i Deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    how do  i deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.
