My screen is stuck on the circle slash logo

My computer will not boot up. The circle slash appears right after the apple when i turn the power. How do I get past this?

Hi c, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).

  • I'm getting "Unknown Error 6" when trying to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.  The phone is then stuck on the red iTunes logo + USB screen.  How can I get the phone working again?

    I've tried upgrading my iPhone 4S using iTunes 12.01.26 on 4 different computers at home and at the office:
    Macbook Air - OS X version 10.7.5
    Macbook Pro - OS X Yosemite
    2 PCs running Windows 7 Professional
    iTunes downloaded the installer and the installation process seemed to get 90% complete before showing the error, "The iPhone, "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)."
    The phone is now stuck on the red iTunes logo screen:
    How can I get it out of this mode?
    I've tried holding the power button and home buttons down for ten seconds, then letting go of the power button, but keeping the home button down for another 10 seconds.  I've also tried Reiboot, Wondershare Dr. Fone in desperation to try to get the phone out of this mode.  Nothing seems to fix it.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    i do that but it keeps getting stuck on the 'preparing to restore i phone' screen for a few mins before coming up with 'unknown error 1603'.
    Just doublechecking. Have you worked through the 1603-specific instructions from the following document?

    That's not a battery recharge sign. It's telling you your phone is in recovery mode and you need to plug it into your computer running iTunes.

    The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.

  • HT4623 MY iPad screen is stuck on the "terms and conditions screen.  I tap the agree button and the send  email button, but nothing happens.  Please help.

    While trying to update my Ipad to the new operating systemm my screen is stuck on the "Terms and Conditions" screen.  I tried touching the "agree" button and the "send my email" button, but nothing happens.  I can't get out of the screen without missing my full update.  Please help.

    completely switch off your ipad with pressing the top power button  really long and then swipe the red swiper at the top. Then turn your  ipad back on, skip the icloud login screen and you should be good!  That's what i did so should work for you too

  • Just turned on my MBP 2007 and the screen gets stuck on the light blue before the normal log in page comes. Any Clues?

    Just turned on my MBP 2007 and the screen gets stuck on the light blue before the normal log in page comes. Any Clues?
    Worked fine last night. It's running Snow Leopard.

    Does your iMac fail to boot every time or only some of the time?  Here are some things to try:
    - Boot into "safe mode", which will run the equivalent of Disk Utility's "repair disk" operation.
    - Boot from the system install disc that came with that Mac with the "D" key held down to run the diagnostics.  Run them several times to see if any hardware problems are reported.
    - If you can't identify the problem or fix it any other way, download and install the OS X 10.6.7 "combo" updater.
    - If that still doesn't help, try reinstalling OS X 10.6 over the top of what's on the disk.

  • My iPhone is stuck on the black Apple logo screen.

    Hi,
    So I just bought my friends used iPhone 2G. So in the car, on the way home, I reset everything on the phone because his all his stuff was on it. So when I got home it said it was done, and it was stuck on the black screen with the white apple logo. I shut it off thinking it would come back on and go to the slide to unlock screen. Nope. It is still stuck on the black Apple logo screen. Keep in mind, this phone has never been attached to my computer. Please help me. I'm really excited that I bought this. Now I REALLY want to use this.
    Thank you,
    DJ

    Do you plan on activating the iPhone with AT&T?
    If so, are you currently an AT&T subscriber?
    If you plan on activating the iPhone with AT&T, you need to get a new SIM card from an AT&T corporate store.
    When connecting the iPhone to iTunes for the first time with the new SIM card inserted, you should be prompted with the AT&T activation process.
    If you don't plan on activating the iPhone with AT&T, did your friend include the no longer activated SIM card inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated with AT&T? If so, you can restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer as a new iPhone. Activation with AT&T will not be required, but the no longer activated SIM card (the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated with AT&T) must be inserted in the iPhone to complete the restore with iTunes process.

  • My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it , Help!

    My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it and i have tried holding the home button and power button down for 20 seconds but nothing is happining , meaning the phone isnt loading up has anyone got any idea what the problem could be ?

    Plug the phone into your computer via the USB cable and open iTunes.
    Once you have connected the phone to your computer and opened iTunes, hold the home and sleep buttons down until it goes blank.  You are now in DFU mode.  Click the restore button in iTunes.
    Note: You will lose all data.  You can restore from a backup if you previously saved one.

  • HT201210 I accidently unplugged my I-pad 2 from my computer during the latest software update.  My screen is stuck on the "update bar" screen.

    I accidently unplugged my I-pad 2 from my computer during the latest software update and my screen is stuck on the "apple with update bar."
    Suggestions?

    Try and force the iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
