My mac will not go through the set up

My mac air will not go to the setup option, it is stuck in a loop where it does the load up noise and then a load of writing then it restarts again

Can you startup in Safe Mode?

  • While playing my albums in iTunes it has just started playing the first song but will not progress through the other songs on the album. Did I accidentally change setting or are other people having the same trouble? thanks

    Hi there Sing Me A Song,
    You may have changed the Up Next list in iTunes. Take a look at the article below for more information on the Up Next lists and how to edit it.

  • I can listen to ITunes on my ipad on a headset but they will not play through the speaker

    I can play I tunes on my iPad and listen on a headset but the iPad will not play through the built in speaker

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • HT2404 Mountain Lion will not download through the apps store.  It shows up in Launchpad, but when the screensaver goes on and I enter my password and my desktop shows up, it has disappeared from launchpad.  I have set my energy saver controls appropriate

    Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store.  It has been purchased and redeemed.  I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow.  I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again).  When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad.  I have tried this several times.  I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air.  I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again.  Same results.  Anyone?

    Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
    But, hey, who am I to argue with your tech person? Please, don't let me sway your opinion. How about a visit to:
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

  • My mac will not properly read the iphoto library on external hard drive.  It only reverts back to the library on the computer instead.

    I have an iphoto library on an external drive, which I have connected to my airport extreme.  I can see the disk in my finder and access data on the external hard drive through the wireless, local network.  The only problem is that when I use my iMac, the machine does not read the iphoto library on the external harddrive, instead it picks up the library that's on the iMac itsel.  Is this a preferences list issue or something else?  Any help would be great, thank you.

    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries. 

  • Mac Mini not transmitting through the DVI cable to the display.

    I have been using my Mac Mini with a MAG display, no problem. While traveling I used a Samsung display for a month no problem. Now I am back home and the Mac Mini will not transmit a signal to the MAG display. The cable and DVI converter are good and work with the MAG when plugged into my laptop, but not when plugged into the Mac Mini. How do I fix this problem? Thanks.

    Apple recommends starting the TV/display first. Connect the cable and adapter to the TV and turn on the TV.  Turn on the Mac mini and after it has had time to start up completely, connect the adapter to the Mac mini. Hopefully the mini gets the proper EDID signal from the display and adjusts its signal output accordingly.

  • HP C7200 All-in-One printer will not print through the Wifi network

    I have used the HP printing and scanning Doctor but none of the proposed solutions have solved the problem. The blue light for wirelwss 802.11g service is on and connected to the same Wifi address as my laptop is using now. My Dell laptop is running Windows 7 and the printer works if I use the USB connection instead of the Wifi.  Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the community @Larrypat 
    I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
    Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
    Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
    HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
    Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
    Let me know how it goes and the results

  • I have a new MacBook Pro that prints fine with my upstairs computer, but the IMAC will not print through the AirPort

    I have a Canon printer (USB), in my office. I plugged it in to the back of the Airport Router. The downstairs new MacBook Pro can print with either of my two printers upstairs with no problem. The IMac upstairs can not see the Canon printer at all. When I go to Print & Fax settings, it does not see the printer! How can I solve this?
    THANKS!

    You will need to get on the Canon website and download the latest drivers for your printer on the iMac.
    That's really about all that you can do.

  • The bluetooth on my Mac will not connect to my iPhone 6.

    I am trying to connect my phone to my mac so I can use airdrop. The Mac will not connect to the phone. I checked my System Information and the Bluetooth on my Mac is LMD 0X4. I believe the problem is that it needs to be LMD 0X6. How do I upgrade?

    You do not need to connect/pair the devices to use Airdrop. All you need to do is have Bluetooth on and on the same Wi-Fi network. See this support document for answers to other questions about setting up and using AirDrop. Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support

  • After 10.5 upgrade Mac will not boot from hard drive

    I just upgraded to 10.5 Leopard but my mac will not boot from the hard drive even after selecting my hard drive as the startup disk. The mac will start to boot but will cut itself off before the boot is complete. I have to leave the Leopard disk in the mac and hold down C to get the mac to turn on but it only allows me to install the software again.

    instead of archive and install you might first want to try restoring your system using TM to some time point before your failed 10.5.1 upgrade. Then try upgrading to 10.5.1 again. I would suggest downloading the full 110 MB upgrade and installing it manually rather than doing it through the software upgrade menu.
    You can download the upgrade here:
