Any suggestions to fix this? Thanks

  • On log on my home page appears, goes into a loop, icons flash on and off and wont load

    HP Logo and the log on page load OK but when I log on to my home page it goes into a loop.  The screen and icons keep flashing as if the screen keeps reloading.  I cant do anything to stop it.

    This post describes exactly the problem I'm having.  I can access "HELP" (obviously) and by using "ctrl-alt-delete" I can assess Task Manager and see systems and services. On Services, many are marked "stopped." CPU power is variable, from 33% to 98%.  I don't understand any of this.

  • Desktop flashes on and off on startup

    HELP! Our brand-new G5 suddenly wigged out on me yesterday. Shortly before the "wigging out", I opened Photoshop and received an error that Photoshop needed a particular font to run. Next thing I know, the desktop starts flashing on and off and I can't do anything. The only way I could shut down was by pressing the power button.
    Now every time I try to start up, I get the same flashing desktop, and it's blank -- none of the icons are showing up.
    I tried hooking my good, working computer up to it via FireWire, which does allow me to see the hard drive, and deleting all of the Asian fonts from the system folder (I've heard that can be an issue) but to no avail. I'm not sure what else to do. Help!

    YES! I figured it out! It was definitely an Asian font problem -- using FireWire, I hooked my good computer up to the non-working computer, and put all the Asian fonts that had once been in the System Fonts folder back in the System Fonts folder. And Voila! It works!
    It's weird, because our other G5 is working dandy fine without those fonts, but heck, who am I to question technology?

  • My iPhone 5 keeps flashing on and off when charging?

    Okay. So everytime I go to charge the iPhone 5, it charges, but it flashes on and off while doing so.
    Does anyone else have the same problem? Is it supposed to do this?

    Hello Afelipe,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • My iphone 5 flashing on and off

    my iphone 5 went from stuck into restore setting to errors to now flashing on and off after i tried for hours to restore because of the first issue

    Check and make sure you have enough battery life left. If not, this will cause the device to flash off and on. Second you can also make sure assisted touch is on so better assist you with the device multi-touch display.
    Multi-Touch Assistaive settings can be adjusted under:
    Settings--Accessibility--Assistive Touch Enable to toggle to ON position.
    If the battery is not fully charged, plug it into a wall outlet with the proper charger and leave it plugged in until you see a Battery icon displayed on the display, once this is on you may see a little red at the bottom of the battery meaning that your battery was drained. This may also help resolve your issue.

  • How do i fix my issue: Apple Logo flashes on and off after iphone battery died during IOS update?

    I've tried the methods I've seen on youtube and other iphone tech help sites but I am still having the same problem. Today while updating to IOS 7 my iphone 4 battery died and I didnt have a charger, now that I am home an I put in on the charger I notice the apple logo just flashes on and off. I've tried to restores using the DFU mode with the home and power button but that only seem to stop the logo from flashing and even then the iphone still isnt recognised by the pc to restore, Is there any other way i can go about fixing this problem!!!!

    You can try the steps recommended in the User Guide.  If they don't work bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

    from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

    Was the restore done via iTunes?

  • Ipod flashing on and off

    Alright, I had to do a full restore on my computer and lost everything. Plugged the Ipod in afterwards, and lost all my songs/movies. Well now it told me that I had to download the update in order to put new songs on. I did. Now the ipod is flashing on and off and wont let me do anything. I tried reseting it, and it turns off, but as soon as I let go of the buttons it goes right back to flashing on and off. I need some help. Anything anyone could tell me?

    I have the same problem, created first when iPod updated on Friday night. I returned the month old iPod for a new one, installed and was downloading library when the new Ipod went into the same catastrophic failure.
    HERE IS THE FIX: (walked through w/ Apple Store Rep)
    1. Make sure there is power to the iPod (with all the cycling, your battery is probably drained).
    2. Toggle the Lock Switch on top of the iPod 3 or 4 times, then hold Menu and Center Button down simultaneously (same as doing a reset).
    3. When the Apple Logo reappears, hold the Center Button and the Play/Pause button down simultaneouly.
    4. If all goes well, the screen should say, at the very top, Disk Drive Mode (or something to that effect).
    5. If you have been running off computer power, disconnect then reconnect the usb cable.
    6. Open iTunes
    If all goes well, the iPod connection should appear on the iTunes screen with the opportunity to Restore.
    7. Restore your iPod to factory settings. Once the download is complete, you should be back in business.

  • When i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. how can i stop it and turn on my ipod??????

    when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
