My phone is stuck on the black screen with the circular loading bar in the middle. how do i fix it?
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
If that didn't help, do a restore by connecting with iTunes.

I tried to update my phone this morning, and now it is stuck on a black screen with an apple in the middle.
Press the Power button and hold it down until the computer turns off. Restart. Do you still get the same result? If so, then try booting into Safe Mode, then restart normally. A safe mode startup takes considerably longer than a normal one, so don't panic. You will also see a progress bar at the beginning.

3 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.
4 Try on another computer
5 If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Stuck with black screen with Apple and download bar approx 1 quarter done. Downloading Yosemite. It has completely stopped. I can't access anything. Please help
You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -

Hi Will555uk,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is restarting unexpectedly, I recommend starting with step three in this troubleshooting guide:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,

Windows 7 bootcamp show black screen with a small white bar
I just upgraded my iMac mid 2011 21.5" with a crucial m4 SSD. The SSD is plugged in the disk 1 DATA port and on the SSD power on the motherboard. I fully installed Windows 7 with all the driver and updates. My mac is upgraded with the lastest update. The crucial m4 firmware is 009. I installed no driver for the SSD.
The problem is that when I start my bootcamp it only show a black screen with a small white bar on the corner. I waited about 5 minutes before to close the computer manually. The only way my bootcamp work is when I put my Windows 7 DVD in the reader for the startup.Sometimes windows installation will install a WDM driver for ati or nvidia. It causes the screen to go black altho ugh everything else is running in the background. I found that using an external monitor will allow you to see the screen so that you can install the lastest bootcamp drivers. After the drivers are installed the screen comes back. I reinstalled windows 3 times and tried all other solutions including repairing the hard drive in disk utility.

IPhone 3GS stuck in a black screen with a cable and the iTunes logo in it. Extra bonus: error 1656.
So, I got this problem with the black screen with a cable and the iTunes logo in it. I tried restoring it, but in the middle of the process, the iPhone turns off (and it is still connected to the computer) and I get an error message (1656). I already tryed the solution that I have to find the "hosts" file, but there's no "gs.apple.com" line to be deleted.
What do I do?I tried to do this at least 4 times! the iTunes is running the restore but at the end he's failed.. he say there is an error ! I think number -1.

My iPad is stuck on a black screen with iTunes logo
My iPad is stuck on a black screen that has the iTunes logo and a usb adapter image. This all happened when I got a software update for iOS 8.1 and started the update. The screen will not leave this image. I've tried everything from resetting holding the buttons to restoring the factory setting from the site. Anyone have this from and can please help out?
Thanks,
SandyMy Ipad has the same logo on it's screen as well..trying to do an update via Itunes at present, but it is extremely slow.
There are intermittent flashes of the Apple logo on the screen while this is happening..
I have done every update since buying my Ipad, and this is the first time a major drama like this has happened, and it doesn't look like i am the only one having problems!! -
I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
What is wrong and what should I do?Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac. -
I have a mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and I've been noticing a problem lately (I think it used to happen before too but not as often as now). My screen will sometimes go black, and my cursor remains visible. It will stay like this, regardless of button mashing or trackpad tapping and clicking. It usually doesn't stay for too long but the other day it was staying like that for a good 5 minutes before switching back to the password-enter screen. It happens sometimes when the computer goes to sleep but sometimes it suddenly happens in the middle of use, stopping whatever I'm doing and locking me out for a few minutes. I want to know why this happens and how to prevent it from happening (or perhaps there just needs to be a patch?). What is particularly strange is that my girlfriend just bought a brand new Macbook Air and she already has the same exact problem as me.

Ipad 4 updating to ios 8.1 - stuck on black screen with logo no progress bar
So, I downloaded the update for 8.1 on my ipad 4 and trying to install it and I notice it is just the black screen with apple logo. There is no progress bar. Occasionally the ipad screen shuts itself off and then back on. It almost seems like it is working but without a progress bar. Though, I am worried as it has been about an hour or so now and I do not have the slightest clue what is going on.
It appears that the download might be corrupt. But try resetting the iPad and it might resume the download and install of the IOS. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen, when the device restarts, maybe the update will resume.
However, if you continue to experience what you are experiencing, try restoring using recovery mode.

my iphone is locked and i cant get itunes to connect with it. how do i fix it or do i need to take it to at&t. this all started with getting the new upgrade.
Hi mfowens10,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You might need to use recovery mode if:
You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
Cheers,

Tried updating my iPhone 4S with IOS 7. It is now frozen on a white screen with two black dots and two black dashes. It will flip to another screen once in a while that says "Slide to setup." But when I do, it goes back to the screen with the dots and dashes.
What happened with your phone? I'm experiencing the same problems at the moment.

right now it is the middle of april and i bought the ipod at the beging of Agust the year befor so it still has not been a year. currently it is thursday and the screen changed to the white and black corner on the monday earlier in the week (so 4 days ago). i had just broken up with my gril friend and we were fighting. in anger i through my ipod at the wall. i was aiming for my pillow on my bed so it would hit something soft but i missed and it hit the hard concrete wall in my room. when i looked at my ipod it had turn itself off and when turn on the screen was white with a little black in one corner. i have tryed to restart it by holding down the power and home button till it restarted but the screen only got brighter and then eventually went back the the brightness it was before and turn off. i can still turn the screen on but cant unlock. i know it is still working cause my alram still goes off in the morning. the ipod is a 4th generation ipod touch 16 GB memory and is black. can this be fixed at home on my own or do i have to take it in to apple. can apple even fix it or is my ipod past the point of repair. any advice would be nice. thanks in advance.

MBP stuck at gray boot screen with apple logo, loading wheel, and loading bar
Today i was using my mac book pro and it was working just fine, and i shut it off and when i tried to use it later I get stuck at this screen. I have never seen this loading bar and it doesnt seem to do any thing because it only goes as far as it is in the picture then it dissapears leaving me stuck at the apple logo and the loading wheel.
Sadly i cant get my warranty information since i cant get past boot up, and the serial number in the battery area is to small to read (the letters or numbers are literaly blobs)
I have tried holding shift at boot and it does nothing and holding alt during boot only shows the hard drive icon, but when i click it im back to stage 1.Spaghettipopsicle wrote:

Your Mac is attempting to fix your drive and it's not succeeding, you can let it go for some time and see if it clears up.

Do these steps.
If on 10.6 stick a clean and polished 10.6 disk into the computer and reboot holding the c key down.
If on 10.7 hold the command and r keys and boot, you'll enter Lion Recovery Partition.
Under the Utilities Menu is Disk Utility, use it to Repair Disk (note any failures!) and Repair Permissions (ignore list)
See if your computer boots, if not repeat the above steps and use Disk Utility to format a blank external drive, Partiiton Tab, Option: GUID, format OS X extended (J) and click apply.
Next quit and install 10.6/10.7 onto the external drive, when that completes, hold the option key down and you can boot from it. Retrieve your files off the internal drive to the external.
If you cant' see your internal drive in Disk Utility, it's likely failed.
Sometimes you can software like Data Rescue, installed on another Mac or a external boot drive and "read" the failed drive for any salvagable data, provided it's still working mechnically. Good thing about DataResue supposedly is you don't pay unless it's sure it can recover some of your files. I never used it as I make many backups, or bootable clones.
Mechanically failed drives data can only be recovered by platter dissection, a very expensve process.
There is several ways to read the drive, take it out and place it in a enclosure or use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable with another Mac or PC (with MacDrive) or use another Mac and Firewire Target Disk Mode (hold T on the sick Mac)
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
If the drive works and you got your data off of it, you can erase it (use the Zero option, GUID/OS X Ext.J) and reinstall OS X, same user name as before, update, (Repair Disk from disk if on 10.6.8) install programs and return files last (and in that order exactly) your machine will be as close as possible to the way it was.
Lastly, consider making a clone, this way you can simply option boot and use that.
