My macbokp turns on, chimes, then gets stuck on the gray apple page. have tried rebooting from the OS X install disk, no My macbokp turns on, chimes, then gets stuck on the gray apple page. Please help!
Hello.I have a late 2008 model MacBook with snow leopard installed. I'd been having some trouble with it lately, so I went to disk utility and tried to 'repair disk'. It said there was a file system error and it could repair the disk. So I started up from the install disk and tried again...same thing. Now when I try to turn it on and power it up, it turns on, makes the chime sound and then gets stuck on the gray page with the apple. I have tried removing the battery, unplugging/replugging power, and 'safe start up mode'. It still won't go past the gray apple page. Please help!!! I'd greatly appreciate any advice or comments! Thanks so much....
Julie
If you can boot from the install disk reinstall the operating system and see if it works.

My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
Can anyone please help?Hi gscoops,

Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!
I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.

How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?
MobileMe service is finished.. to get remote access to the Mac or TC you use iCloud account.. but that is for files.. not to access web cams.
Without dyndns client in the TC, you can perhaps run dyndns on the computer or video recorder..many of these will have clients built into them.
Even better get a static Public IP from your ISP.. that is the correct professional way to do it.
Or you can use whatever broadband modem you have and remove the TC as the main router.. simply bridge it. Use your adsl router for connection. Almost all adsl have built in dyndns.
Sorry your language is very hard to follow.. and I am sure you are finding my answers similarly difficult.
Basically the TC is about the hardest device to setup because it is lacking important networking functions.
Get a vpn router and use vpn connection is far superior to any other method. But you cannot do it with TC. -
Hello . I'd like to buy an iPhone 5S Space Gray 64GB and get free shipping from the USA to Russa but the problem is I don't know about wireless service plan . What should I choose for Russian wirelesses ? Does T-Mobile work in Russia ? Please , help me
Sorry , but product is iPhone 5SYou can't buy from the Apple store online in the US because it is country specific and you firstly need a US credit card and then a US address and they won't ship outside of the US so you can't.
No Apple online store will ship outside the coutry.
If you want an iPhone, then you'll have to order via the Russian Apple store online if there is one, or you'll have to wait until it is released in your own country or go and buy one in Europe. -

You can use the Photos app to view photos, slideshows, and videos on your TV with
any of the following:
Apple Component AV Cable
Â
Apple Composite AV Cable
Â
Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable (iPod touch 4th generation)
Â
Apple VGA Adapter and a VGA cable

The Digital AV Adapter supports high-definition video up to 720p with audio.
The Guide also says the Video app can use TV out. -
I get en error message 42408. I have tried several times to activate my account but the same message keeps reappearing. Please help. I cant even sink my iPad or iPhone. Thanks
After searching, found a few answers and tried one last thing-- allowing Safari to accept Cookies. I never use Safari so never changed any settings in it ever. However, I guess an update along the way turned off cookies in it and that was the blockage. Once I allowed Safari to use cookies I was able to redeem the gift card. SO, glad this board is here for these types of questions!!!!

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.
