On startup Apple logo changes to international No what is up?

On startup the Apple logo changes to a circle with diagonal line, the international NO symbol. What is happening.

Bluelipleader,
since you’d like to get Final Cut Pro Studio 2 onto your MacBook Pro, and you don’t know yet whether that blog method will work in either Mountain Lion or Mavericks, I’d suggest just having them reïnstall Lion on it. (Your problem might be entirely due to software rather than any hardware fault.) You can then take it home, install Final Cut Pro Studio 2 on it, do a selective restore from Time Machine, make a new Time Machine backup of the Lion environment, and then experiment with Mountain Lion or Mavericks at your leisure, since you’ll then have the option of rolling back to a working Lion environment.

TS3148 iMac Startup Apple Logo Progress Bar Hangs.....

I Lost my Installation Disk what can i do.. please help in this.... iMac Startup Apple Logo Progress Bar Hangs.....

You likely have a problem with the drive as the progres bar is trying to fix the drive and it can't.
You need to backup your user info off the machine as soon as possible.
hold the shift key on booting, that may get you in.

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

Apple logo with settings gear? What does this mean?

Apple logo with settings gear? What does this mean?

If you decide to Restore the iPhone Firmware with iTunes, then do this with a DFU Mode Restore.
DFU Mode Restore:
Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power Buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds more time. If the iPhone screen is black, this is DFU Mode, Restore the Firmware.

Startup takes forever, Apple Logo changes, Computer is slow.. help??

First off, I am sorry if this is in the wrong section. If so please forgive me.
Secondly, my macbook pro just started acting up a few days ago. The first day it started acting up it was running slow, and the spinning colorful wheel of death started spinning, and everything froze. So I restarted my laptop... The Startup would not pass the white screen with the apple logo and the spinning grey "circle". And then, all of a sudden, the apple logo turned into a "no" logo... like, a "non-smoking logo" but without the cigarette.
Over the pass several days, it has started up, but it is still slow.
I did repair disk permissions, nothing happened to help speed things up.
I tried resetting my RAM, however, since startup will not pass the white screen.
Now, it will not pass the white screen at ALL. And the logo always changes.
I feel like a brought this on, makes me mad if I did anything to make this happen!
Anyways, can anyone help? I am taking it to a ComputerTree tomorrow, cause the apple store is too far away. So if anyone can help before tomorrow/if anyone knows what the problem is... that would be great!!

First, if you don't already have current backups, make one immediately. Don't overwrite any previous backup. To do this, you have two options: (1) Boot from an external hard drive with a clean installation of Snow Leopard, or (2) if you have a Firewire port, start up in Firewire target mode (hold down the T key at the chime until the Firewire logo appears) and connect your Mac to another Firewire-equipped Mac using a FW cable. The internal drive will mount as if it were in an external enclosure. You can then back it up from the second Mac.
When you've done that, if your Mac came with Snow Leopard preinstalled, boot from the installation DVD that came with it, by inserting the disc, restarting, and holding down the C key until the Apple logo appears. If your Mac came with an older OS, boot from the retail Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade.
Once booted from the DVD, select Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. Select the internal drive in the DU window, and click the button labeled "Repair Disk." If any problems are found, repeat until the disk comes up clean.
Finally, quit Disk Utility and run the installer. It won't overwrite your data. When it finishes, reboot as usual, and run Software Update to bring everything up to date. You may have to do this more than once to get all the available updates. If you're still unable to boot normally, try booting in safe mode (shift key down at the chime) to apply the updates.

Stuck on the startup Apple logo and spinning loading wheel.

I have a power mac g5 with tiger 10.4.11 OS on it. I bought it a year ago second hand and it has been working amazing since then. But about two weeks ago I got that message on screen telling me to resart my computer and then after that I couldn't start my machine up. It kept on getting stuck on the spinning wheel at the start with the apple logo and if I leave it long enough, the apple turns into a no entry sign and the fans start to become very noisie. I have luckly been able to start my Mac up on some occassions so I have backed everything up on an external hard drive. I have also re-installed the operating system on there cause I thought it might have just been a disk error or somehing. Since I've re-installed everything, I haven't putall my applications back on. Only a couple so that I could create this web site. I also remember typing somehing into terminal before this all happened so I have a feeling it might be somehing to do with that but I have no idea what I typed in there but I'm sure it didsomething bad. I'm a bit slow with computers so I may ask for a step by step if I don't understand your solutions sorry. Thank you for your time.

There's the clue...
Now, how to fix the problem, which is not getting the following in the verbose output:
localhost kernel[0]: Got boot device = IOService....
If you have not already reset the PRAM and NVRAM memory areas, you should at least do that once before trying the test I describe below.
To reset PRAM, hold down cmd-option-P-R keys at power up (not restart) until you hear the second startup chime.
To reset NVRAM, hold down cmd-option-O-F at power-up to boot into open firmware, which is basically a "dumb terminal" display and type the following two commands:
reset-nvram
reset-all
and see if the boot works from there.
*You may have a failing HD* or the erase-and-install caused a problem. I am not clear about whether you were actually able to boot from the install disk. If that didn't happen, then you should disconnect the HD connectors and see if you can boot from the install disk. If that works fine, then we may be on to something. The fact that this all started with a kernel panic followed by successive boot failure issues and the verbose output hang point make me a little pessimistic about the HD.
One other thought concerns the PRAM battery, since PRAM stores things like the root device selected. If it hasn't been changed in a while, or never, to your memory, then it might be prudent to get a fresh one into the machine. (One way to maybe test this theory is to do an option boot, i.e., holding the option key down at power up and waiting for the boot volume select business to make it to the screen. If your hard drive shows up there and you can select it and successfully boot, then I would definitely replace the battery. Actually, I would change it anyway if it's more than a year or two old. A cheap fix and sometimes helps bizarre situations.)

Apple logo changing colors loop

Hello-
I have a iPhone 5c. I bought my phone October 27 of this year. I have had issues with it since the 4th day of owning it and no one can help. So I'm turning to you guys, hoping you have something! My phone will get in a constant loop, and I've done all the loop tricks and they work....for about a day or two. Took it to apple they "fixed it".... for 3 weeks it worked and now its doing the apple logo loop, but now the screen changes colors. Sometimes it is the screen, some times it is the apple logo, and then there are times when lines show up. This is driving me craz! Someone please help!

The 30 day return warranty ran out the 27th of November.

Mountain Lion - Random freezes at startup (apple logo)

Hi all
I have a Macbook Air mid 2011 and since updating to Mountain Lion I'm getting annoying freezes at startup (when apple logo appears).
I must long-press the power buttton, and then at the next boot everyting is ok.
This happens 20-30% of the times i reboot.
Anyone else with this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance

Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
The screen should give you these choices...
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get help online
Disk Utility
First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

On startup, Apple logo disappears, replaced by block of pixels.

Just started having a bizarre issue upon startup. When the very first screen appears, the pale grey one with the clock at the bottom, the Apple logo appears only briefly, then is replaced by a block, about two inches by two inches, of random looking colored pixels. It sort of looks like "snow" on a TV screen, only not moving. Sometimes it appears immediately and I never see the Apple logo, but usually the logo appears briefly and then disappears. Machine hangs on this screen for a few seconds and then startup proceeds normally. Have booted up from a pristine administrator account I keep for troubleshooting, and the problem is still there, so I know it is system wide and not a user issue. I have booted up from an external firewire drive and the problem doesn't occur, so I know it is a problem on my hard drive, or the hard drive itself. I've booted from my OSX installer CD, and no problem. Repaired permissions, verified drive to be okay, etc.

Why did my apple logo change to gold?

Has anyone had their apple icon mysteriously change to golden? I took a screen shot. I am referring to the apple logo in the top left corner of the screen. I swear it just changed all by itself.

So I decided to reboot my computer just to see... Now it is back to its usual black color.
THIS IS ODD.
Anyone know why that happened? It didn't really bother me. Just kinda weird...

Tried almost everything, iMac (2008) still stuck at startup (Apple logo)

My iMac from 2008, currently running 10.6 but was originally a 10.5, has been stuck on the white screen + Apple logo with no spinning beach ball.
There were no troubles before this, I just turned it on one morning to it like this.
I've practically tried everything to no avail...
Safe boot: goes back to Apple logo
Option key: the HD is shown, but goes back to Apple screen when clicked
NVRAM/PRAM reset: did nothing but make the volume and screen brightness back to default
Verbose mode: gets stuck on "Executing fsck_hfs..." and doesn't proceed whatsoever, even after hours of it being on
Single User mode: same as Verbose mode. Just stuck, never proceeding.
Sometimes it goes on a restart loop until I stop it with a NVRAM/PRAM reset.
Sometimes it beeps 2 times, then goes on to 3 beeps until turned off (RAM problems?) but not all the time.
I'm thinking I should just do a complete and clean reinstall of the OS to see if it'll help...but my optical drive hasn't been working for a while now, so I can't just stick in the CD...
Is it worth it to go and buy an external CD/DVD reader and try to do a clean reinstall from that? Is that even possible?
Have an idea on what might be causing this? RAM? Corrupted files??
Should I suck it up and go to the Apple store? (Which I'm trying to avoid, as an iMac is heavy and I have no car)
Any help will be grately appreciated!
Thanks for reading.

I fixed it!
I thought I would post what I did in case anyone else in the future has the same problems as me.
I went out and got an external CD/DVD drive and plugged it in with the first install disc that came with my Mac. (The grey CDs with 10.5, not the 10.6 upgrade DVD)
Pressing C on startup didn't work, so I pressed D instead and got the Apple Hardware Test. After testing, I got a 4MEM error, which means it was the RAM.
Tested one RAM at a time, and it seems like one of them had stopped working. I also tested the good RAM in both slots in case it was the slots that were erroring, and not the sticks.
Then, I booted up my Mac again with the good stick of RAM, pressed C, and went into Disk Utility. There, I verified and repaired the disk (there were some errors there too, but it fixed it up).
I rebooting the Mac with one stick of RAM, and it started with no problem!
But because I'm only running on 1GB, things are a bit sluggish, so I'm going to use this opportunity to upgrade my RAM. All is right in the world again.

Help - Grey Screen & Apple Logo aft fixing internal DVD Writer

My DVD writer started to play up a few months ago and eventually stopped reading any discs. After routing around the various forums I had a go at fixing it by taking my Powerbook apart, removing the DVD writer and using an air cleaner and optical cloth cleaned the DVD writer out. Full of dust!
I put the DVD writer back leaving the top of the Powerbook loose and started it up. Excellent result, not only did it play a DVD film, but it burnt a disc which I could read in my aging Power Mac. RESULT!
I then preceded to screw it all back together. It went to the grey screen with the Apple Logo and spinning wheel. I have not been able to get it past this.
I have tried resetting the PMU & PRAM by removing the Power and battery and holding the power switch on for 5 secs.
I have tied to restart and then hold down Command-Option-P-R, wait for third chime and release and press the shift screen. But it stays on the grey screen/Apple Logo.
I did get it to go to a blue screen once but it won't go further.
I have tried to pop in Techtool Pro Disc 4.5.1 and Disk Warrior but the DVD writer just spits these out again.
I have taken it apart again to check that all my connections are OK and they do seem OK. I don't understand how I could get it to play/burn and then it goes all awry only after I screw the keyboard back.
Anybody got any ideas short of taking it in for repair!

I would just get it repaired.
