My iPhone wont boot up stuck at start up screen (Please Help)

i have a original 2.5G phone with 8gigs... running 2.0
i was installing Bubble Wrap from the mobile app store and went back to the app store and it was being very glitchy ... nothing was loading and everything had a little delay... so anyway i go to hold the top on/off button for five seconds to get the slide to turn off... so i can reboot it and then the phone crashes and turns off with horizontal lines and starts rebooting... at this point it is stuck at the apple logo and does nothing else...
i already tried holding down the on/off button and the home button together to reboot and it still stays stuck... it reboots but always stays at the apple screen...
i am currently at work and dont have access to my Mac so i cant connect it to it to even do a restore... which *****... anything i can do from here?
thanks.
UPDATE: I just connected it to the PC here at the office and it acctually was able to read and transfer photos over through the camera wizard so it is reading the info on it but im not sure whats going on... its as if it has booted up but the home screen is not there just the Apple boot up screen.
**** this ***** not having your phone work and not being able to restore it until you get home.

i downloaded the new iphone software (the box popped up on my screen when syncing), so i clicked download. after i downloaded it, i turned my phone off and when i hit back on, all im getting is the silver apple. WHAT IS GOING ON??? its like it just keeps trying to start up because the apple will come on for 10 seconds, then cut off for 3 seconds, then repeat. i held down the sleep/wake button for 30 seconds and cut it off completely. but when i cut it on, it does the same thing! was this software a virus or malfunctioning? this is stressing me out!! does anyone know what to do?? PLEASE HELP

  • Stuck at 'Starting Windows' screen! Help please :(

    Hello guys and girls.
    I have a problem with an Acer Aspire 8920 laptop.
    To start off with the back light on the screen was the first issue. After turning the laptop on the screen would turn off. I would close the lid and open it again and the screen would light up as normal and then after a few seconds it would go off again.
    I wasn't sire at first what it was so I plugged it into the telly via HDMI and that was fine. I looked closely and I could see very faintly windows had loaded fine. After that I knew it was the backlight.
    Eventually after more research I bought a new inverter off the web. Few days later it arrived and I replaced it. It solved the issue but has caused a couple more.
    I get stuck at the starting windows screen no matter what I do. I have a copy of W7 on a disc, on USB and if I try and load up W7 as normal. If I try and boot in safe mode it always gets stuck at 'Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\avgidsha.sys' every time.
    Also after replacing the inverter the brightness of the screen now 'pulses'. Thats the best way I can describe it. When it does pulse it doesn't go off completely, just a little brighter and darker.
    I have looked online and found that people were getting stuck at the same place and the cause of that was a power supple issue with custom built PCs. I think that maybe I might have a the same problem because of this new inverter?
    Any input would be great into this. I appreciate your help.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Do you mean that you're unable to logon to Windows no matter via normal start or safe mode, and startup repair doesn't work with the disk?
    For this error "gets stuck at 'Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\avgidsha.sys' every time", hope this link can help you

    You are not having the same problem, the OP's problem was caused by USB devices which you do not have.

  • Frozen on Start Up Screen - Please Help (Urgent)

    I've had my mac Mini for a little over a year now and have not once had a problem with it. When I came home from work yesterday there had been a powercut and naturally my mac mini had switched off. When i tried to turn it back on it made the chime and went into the start up screen (with the mac logo and the little spinning thing) i was waiting half an hour for it to get off this screen but it did not. When i restarteed the computer i had the same problem, i left it on over night to see if it was just going to take time to load but by this morning nothing had changed (same loading screen on moniter).
    I Have tried to reset the PMU (or whatever its called) and i still have the same probelm.
    Help desperatly needed as the computer has two years worth of school work and writing on it not to mention music and movies than ive made for my uni course!
    Many thanks in advance
    Henry

    OK, so it looks like when the mini crashed, it ended up corrupting the drive directory structure - possibly it was in the middle of a write operation when the power failed.
    The good news is that rarely does this cause a hardware fault, so there is like as not, nothing wrong with the system that can't be fixed.
    However, the bad news is that without a disk recovery utility, such as DiskWarrior or Tech Tools Pro, neither of which are absolutely certain to work) the only way to get the system back under normal control is to reformat the drive, since this will rewrite the directory structure. And of course reformatting will loose your data. In this situation, simply trying to reinstall MacOS won't work since the system has errors on the drive that will prevent data being safely written. Also, any and all disk write activity risks overwriting your data since the faults generally will indicate that MacOS won't know for sure where your data is, thus make it possible to write over the top of it.
    Since iTunes won't allow you to download again, and it appears you don't have any backups, I think you have few options to consider:
    1 - buy a copy of DiskWarrior or Tech Tools Pro and try and recover the drive that way. The disadvantages are that this will cost you some money, and there's no certainty it will work, but if it does, the advantage is that you could restore your drive (and thus system) to full operational status with little effort.
    2 - get hold of (meaning buy or borrow from someone else) an external firewire drive onto which you can install a copy of MacOS with which to boot your system. Once booted, then use the drive to copy off your files, then once backed up, do an Erase and Install using your original install disk to reformat the hard drive and put back a working copy of MacOS. Once done, you can then copy your files back from the external hard drive.
    3 - if you have another Mac available to you, connect your mini to it with a firewire cable and start it up holding the T key to put it into firewire target disk mode. It should then appear on the other Mac's desktop as an external drive and thus allow you to access your files and back them up.
    Beware however that if the directory structure on the mini's hard drive is messed up, there is no certainty that you can recover all your data since the data may not be entirely intact, or indeed, in the locations the directory structure tells the system it is in. As a result, the best option from the 3 above is the first - to try and repair the directory using one of those two utilities.

  • Flash shuts down after start up screen - please help

    I had a strange problem develop yesterday. Whenever I start
    Flash 8 the start up screen shows for a moment, then disappears and
    the program shuts down and never starts. I ran Ad-Aware, Spybot,
    HijackThis and even did a file search by date to see if anything
    appeared on my computer that would cause this but I found nothing.
    I have Flash MX installed as well and it was doing the same thing
    when I tried that. I repair/installed Flash 8 - didn't work, then
    uninstalled Flash 8 and installed again and it's still doing the
    same thing. I suppose I could uninstall MX too and try again but I
    suspect that's not the problem. Any thoughts?

    Your capacitors are leaking, this is a known issue with Rev A G5 iMacs, and they should be replaced, along with the logic board. Take it in and if t stays up long enough, try to clone it to an external drive to save your data. I use SuperDuper! to do this.
    Let us know how you make out,

  • Strange globe and folder with a question mark on it icons showing at start up screen, PLEASE HELP!

    I got a PowerBook G4 tonight from my brother's friend. His friend said it's works fine, but he thinks it needs updated. It powered up fine at first. I looked around and found files that belonged to the previous owner (pictures etc) so I dragged them to the trash and deleted them from the trash. I couldn't get the wi-fi working. It recognized that it was there, but when I clicked on it and typed in the password, it wouldn't connect. So I took it out to our BTHomeHub and took the Ethernet cable out of the computer and plugged it into the PowerBook. I tried going onto Safari but nothing happened so I restarted it. When it loaded back up there's a globe icon that flashes and then a folder icon with a question mark on it, the first time it loaded past it. I held the power button down to turn it off and turned it back on again (hoping it would've disappeared) Now it won't load past that. I've looked around trying to find a solution, but nothing I've tried has worked. I even tried turning it on and off again, countless times. I'm really worried I've done something wrong and that it's broken! PLEASE HELP! (I'm not brilliant with computers, so simple instructions please!)

    The globe icon means the Mac is trying to find a Network system to boot. Startup but depress the Option key. This will activate the Startup Manager window. Hopefully you hard drive will appear. Select it & click the right arrow.

  • Iphone wont load homescreen , stuck on apple load screen.

    iphone powers on but it wil not load up ,it stays on the apple load screen.

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • G4 MDD wont boot past logo, or to cd. Please help!

    The power was cut as I was deleting my shared folder which had about 13gb worth of data on it. The process had just started. I tried to boot back up I hear the chime and then it goes to the apple logo then the whole thing just shuts down after a few minutes with the spinning icon. Things I have tried:
    I tried the commandalt+OF then typed in "eject cd" to open the bay door. I put in the protection plan cd that said it had the tech tools software on it. I then reset the pram with the commandalt+PR and then tried to boot from the cd by holding down c. It does the same thing and never boots though I do hear the hd and the cd drive spinning up.
    Tried holding down shift for safe mode. Same thing happens.
    Tried holding down alt to boot from available partitions. I got the macintosh hd as an option but then when selecting it then continuing the same shut down happens after a few minutes with the apple logo.
    I tried running fsck using some keystrokes found on other forums. I had the black dos-like interface (which i cannot figure out how to get back into as I am a newb with such things) in which I typed in fsck. I got an error about missing sibling link with numbers listed afterwards. I can try to get back into this screen with a bit more instruction on how I did it if the information would be helpful.
    The computer has 2 hard drives in it. One of which was used as a secondary. It is a 40 gb maxtor that was partitioned into 2 drives because i couldnt format it correctly. I have unplugged that. It had an aircard that I removed. It had dvd rw drives one of which only reads. I unplugged the shifty one and left the good one in which is a pioneer 109D. My superdrive gave out long ago.
    I have unfortunately not kept a very good backup and my life is on this computer. If this turns out to be an hd issue would it be possible to install osx on another hd and then pull files off of the bad one? I hope it is not an hd issue though. Please let me know of any further steps I can try and if there is any other information that would be helpful. The info on this pc is my livelihood. I thank you in advance.

    I suggest you try to isolate the cause of the problem. I would start by disconnecting the hard drives - data and power cables, and then try booting from a bootable CD. If you can boot this way, it would show the problem is being caused by one of the drives. My guess is that is where the issue lies. This experience you report Tried holding down alt to boot from available partitions. I got the macintosh hd as an option but then when selecting it then continuing the same shut down happens after a few minutes with the apple logo suggests the computer itself is okay but cannot find an OS from which to boot.
    The next thing, assuming you can boot without the drives present, would be to install the problem drive in a different computer, as the secondary drive. (This assumes of course that you have access to another Mac.) If that works you may be able to run an utility like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro to address the sick drive.
    Your plan to install an OS on a different drive is a good one, and what I have suggested above is a variant that would avoid buying another drive. If you do go that route, install a minimum OS on a new drive, and install the utility there as well. Test that you can boot from the new drive and work on the computer, before you install the bad drive.
    In either case you will need a powerful utility. Both Disk Warrior and TTP are capable of fixing the type of problem you have.
    Good luck.

  • TS3540 my iphone wont connect to itunes because of invalid response please help

    iTunes could not connect to my iPhone” because an invalid response was received from the device. i have tried updating my itunes and restarting my powerbook pro, i have even looked to remove the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" which wasn't there. I am losing the will to live!

    The article you attached suggests you are running OS X 10.6.  Is this true?  If so, it is the cause of your issue.
    The iPhone 5S, being a brand new machine, needs a new version of iTunes.  The current iTunes is 11.1.3.  That version requires at least OS X 10.6.8, and seems to do better with later versions.

  • My Mac g5 is stuck on apple logo screen, please help!

    I have a Mac g5 before they had intel (so its pretty old) and today it was stuck on the apple logo screen and the fans become really loud. I don't know what's wrong with it, I'm scared to do anything as I don't wanna lose all my files. I was going to take it to the apple store to get it fixed but if there is nothing they can do I don't wanna take a 45 min drive to get there. Any info will help! Thanks!
    Megan

    Hi Megan,
    Most Apple stote don't know what a G5 is, nor will most even look at them or work on them, so call 1st if deciding to try that.
    If worse comes to worse we can easily pull the drive(s) & get the info back most likely.
    You'll have to power off, then hold alt key at bootup to see if any boot disks show up.
    If not...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

    Do you have the G5's Install Disc?

  • How do I back up my MacBook Pro from an external hard drive if my macbook won't boot up from the white start up screen? HELP!

    I went to the Genius Bar a week ago, and the guy helping me there was nice enough to help me save some money by telling me I could replace the bad hard drive my MacBook Pro had by myself. I bought everything I needed (hard drive, screws, external hard drive) and my computer won't boot past the white start up screen. It doesn't even show the Apple sign at the start up screen. How do I back up my computer so I can save all my music, school files, etc.? Could really use someone's advice on what to do! Thanks!

    Ok, to be sure I understand what's going on. You were able to boot the Macbook from the existing "damaged" internal drive, and it has been backed up to the internal.
    If that is correct, your internal drive is working. Just to be sure, try booting with the R key down. Then run Disk Utility to repair the internal drive. That drive may in fact be useable.
    You should be aware that you cannot boot the MBP from a Time Machine back up.
    Please post back so I am sure I am understanding the situation.

  • When I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    when I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

    iPhone do not do automatic update. You have to manually trigger the updates.
    If your Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books are ON then when you purchase any new content/item with any devices/computer iTunes, it will automatically download. Switch it OFF if you do not want that to happen.
