When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Check the USB port and the USB cable for any kind of lint, debris or bent pins.
    Try another, working USB cable.
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • Macbook Air opens with the spinning circle n loading bar then shuts off?

    my daughters macbook air was working fine now will turn on, show the apple icon and the spinning circle/dial begins. The bar below it loads up and then the computer turns off. What do I need to do?

    I'm having the same problem with my iMac after installing the latest OSX update. Disk utility is telling me that the hard drive cannot be repaired and that I should reformat the drive and reinstall the OS. After searching online for a while, I found a lot of posts about this. I think something is seriously wrong with the latest update, and I'll be calling Apple tomorrow. I'll probably end up wiping the drive clean and reinstalling the OS, which I'm not looking forward to because I'm in the middle of a project.

  • My iPhone 3GS displayed a message that it was overheated, now it wont turn on except for the Apple logo, and iTunes doesn't recognize it!

    My iPhone 3GS displayed a message saying it was over heating and to turn it off.
    I turned it off and the next day that I turned it back on, it wont go passed the main Apple screen.
    It had a message to re-connect to iTunes, then that the IMEI and SIM were unknown.
    Now it wont turn on at all!!

    You're on your own.  Good luck.

  • My MacBook is showing the apple sign and the loading symbol and no further

    My MacBook is stuck on the beginning and not going further to the signing and hasn't been back on for three days please help

    For reinstalling they are correct. But if the drive needs to be repartitioned, then you need to do something else. If reinstalling solves the problem then that's fine. But if it does not then you need to do this. Note that this only applies to a model that is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

    If neither helped, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utillity. The startup disk may need repairing.

    I recently had to replace my 2009 Macbook Pro's hard drive.  I had the apple store upgrade the OS to Mountain Lion while it was in being repaired.  I want to restore all of my old data and files.  If I perform a restore from Time Machine, with a date prior to having the hard drive replaced, will it revert back to the old OS?

    No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.
