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?

  • MacBook stuck on apple logo. Repaired disk using disk utility, but when I restart, I'm still stuck on apple logo. Please help!

    My MacBook is stuck on apple logo and heats up. I tried restarting in safe mode but it's still stuck. I also tried to repair the disk using disk utility. It says that HD is ok, so when I restart, I'm still stuck on the logo. Is there a way I could fix this without loosing my files?

    Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access OS X: About OS X Recovery
    From there you can reinstall OS X, repair the startup disk, and restore from a Time Machine backup.
    FYI ... wiht ML installed, the only way to repair the startup disk is OS X Recovery, not the Disk Utility app installed on your Mac. You can verify but not repair.

  • I restarted my iPad but it is just stuck on the apple logo. Please help

    I restarted my iPad, but it is stuck on the apple logo. Please help.

    If a reset doesn't work, you will have to try and force the iPad into Recovery Mode (data will be lost)
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo.  Please help.

    Hi,
    My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo.  Please help.

    Take it in for service or most likely out of warranty replacement. Water damage voids your warranty so you will need to pay towards the replacement.
    Cheers

  • Imac 5k stuck on apple logo screen after latest update

    Hi - i have a magazine deadline and a major issue:
    i've been having loads of kernel panics (see thread here Brand new imac 5k kernel panic) and having seen there was a new update figured it would be worth installing it to see if it fixed them as nothing so far suggested by apple support has helped. Once it had downloaded the update the OS said it needed to reboot to finish installation.  It got half way through the loading bar on the apple logo screen and got stuck. I left it an hour, came back still nothing. Left it another hour and it was still just stuck half way.  I rebooted into diagnostics and ran that and it said everything was fine but further reboots just get as far as halfway through the bar.  I'm now stuck as the computer was only a month or so old and i hadn't yet set up back up on it. I was still in the process of getting everything configured and over from my old machine.  Problem is I have a bunch of photos that were transferred on to it that i shot 2 weeks ago and I need them for a magazine deadline tomorrow and apple support options could only call me back on Thursday - if anyone can suggest anything i will be VERY grateful. I've already tried SMC and PRAM resets.

    I did that, a fresh OS install and it worked for about 4 hours then i got a kernel panic

  • Iphone 4 stuck on apple logo screen

    I have an iphone4. Its was updating apps and lock up. After 15 minutes or so i did a hard restart. Now its stuck on the apple logo screen. I did the hard restart holding down the home key and connecting it to my mac. Itunes says in in recovery mode and ask if i want to restore. I click yes. It goes to the extracting software and then verifing with apple. After that back to the apple logo screen. Any ideas?

    The same problem Here, BUT
    I can't restore my iphone.
    I put my iphone in DFU mode, i conect it to iTunes i start the process, but it gets stucked in "Verifying iPhone restore with Apple".
    Then nothing happens, just after a few minutes later it appears the error Message and of course my iphone continues stocked.
    Anyone knows what can i do?

  • IPod Touch 4G Stuck On Apple Logo Screen

    So I just recently jail broke my iPod touch 4G and was using iFile to delete some default apps and stuff that was taking up space on my device.  I only need to use the Music app, so all of the other default apps can be erased.  I must have accidentally deleted something in regards to the music app because I am not able to transfer music onto the device using iTunes.  I turned my iPod off then and turned it back on and this is where the major problem came in.  It's stuck on the Apple Logo screen and will not boot back up or anything.  I have tried putting it in DFU mode and doing every kind of reset or restore and none of that has worked.  Now it doesn't even show up in iTunes.  Unfortunately I don't remember every thing I deleted when using iFile, so I cannot provide much information regarding that.  My iPod has worked perfectly fine until I jail broke it, which I probably shouldn't have even done but none the less if someone has any possible genius solution to my problem, I would appreciate you leaving a comment.  Thanks.

    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer

  • Ipod 5 stuck on apple logo screen

    last night(about 22 hours ago) i tried to update my ipod 5 to ios 8.2 I clicked the install button and then left my ipod on my desk charging. I came back about an hour later and it was stuck on the apple logo screen but with no progress bar. Every minute or so so about 10 minutes it started to glitch out and shut down right when the lock screen would show up. It has been on the apple logo screen since then and i just got back from school to find it stuck. Occasionally it will get a little dimmer, but about a minute later it will be bright again.

  • Ipod nano 7th gen stuck on apple logo screen

    New iPod nano 7th gen.  At first attempt to upload songs, was prompted to update software.  So, software was updated and as I was installing software update to the iPod, I got a message stating that the iPod was in the process of a restore (I think this is what it said.  I didn't pay a whole lot of attention as i was not expecting any problems).  I continued with the restore because nothing had been uploaded to the iPod yet so nothing would be lost.  At this point, the device has been stuck on the apple logo screen for a couple of hours now.  The only response I can get from it is when I do a reset.  The screen will black as it should and then go right back to the logo and stay.  Please help.....Son not happy as this was one of his Christmas presents this morning.  Really not looking forward to a trip to the apple store on the day after Christmas.

    I am afraid yo need to visit the store and possibly ask for a replacement. In some cases, doing the reset will correct any issues, but by the way you describe it, it freezes with apple logo. Better to get a replacement.

    I dont want to restore my phone because i dont have a recent backup for everything i have on my phone as of right now.
    Is their any way i can backup my iphone at the apple logo screen then restore it?
    Or any other methods to escape this apple logo screen of death?

    Unfortunately, you are going to have to try to restore it. You will have to do this by putting your phone into DFU (recovery) mode.
    1. Open iTunes, plug your sync cable into your computer, but do not plug in your phone.
    2. Press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time. When the screen goes black, let go of the power button but continue to hold the home button for about 15 seconds. Once you do this, plug the sync cable into your phone.
    3. iTunes should recognize your phone and tell you it's in recovery mode.
    4. Restore your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod Nano stuck on apple logo screen

    So my little brothers Ipod Nano 4th generation is stuck on the Apple logo screen. I've reset it a couple of times, but it won't leave the apple logo screen. I wasn't able to get it into disk mode, and my laptop wasn't regonizing it, but two days ago our desktop's Itunes recgonized it. Is there anything else I can do, or is it time to take a trip to an Apple Store? Any help would be, well, helpful

    but two days ago our desktop's Itunes recgonized it
    Since the desktop was able to recognize it, did you restore it in iTunes?
