Power went out and my Imac won't reboot
So I was working on my Imac i bought last year and the power went down a few times.
After the first time i rebooted it and it worked normally.
so then the power went out again and i waited with rebooting till the power problem was solved.
When i tried to turn it on again, It played the sound of starting up and it shows the white screen with the logo and the swirly rotating thingy
but then a gray loading bar comes and it takes about 15 minutes for the bar to be full.
then he just shuts down again.
Tried to turn it on several times. Same thing keeps happening.
Tried to get the power cord out and stuff.
not working.
Please help me.
I got deadlines

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop.
Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs. -
I can't get my Mac to turn on? Our power went out and it is now unresponsive.
I can't get my Mac to turn on? Our power went out and it is now unresponsive. I have tried the usual way to power it up but am not getting anything. Does it need to be reset?
Which Mac model?
When you say not getting anything - do you mean no sounds, beeps, etc?
It is possible that your Mac's motherboard or power supply are damaged.

Power went out and now spinning ball of death
This morning the power went out while I had been working in InDesign and Illustrator. I came in and saved the project before the back up power went out but did not get the Mac powered off completely before the back up stopped. When the power came back on, I restarted the mac and Indesign, and my project is now constantly getting the spinning ball of death; I can't even recover it anymore in Indesign (I can open the file, but the recovery was lost). ALL other programs are fine. Just indesign.
I went to look for help online and found a recommendation to turn everything off, unplug mac, let it rest then hold the power button down and replug the power then power the mac back on, and now my fan is running at super high speed and I still am having huge problems with InDesign. 1) can you tell me how to get the fan back to the way it was and 2) what do I do about spinny rainbow ball in Indesign.
HELP!!!!!Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
For the fans issue, first reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 If it doesn't work, it's possible that the computer has a hardware problem.
Apart from that, it's possible that your hard disk got damaged because of the power outage. To check if it's OK, open Disk Utility (it's in /Applications/Utilities), choose "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and verify the disk. If it shows a problem, start in OS X Recovery (hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting), open Disk Utility and repair the Macintosh HD partition. If it couldn't be repaired, the hard disk has to be replaced -
HT1349 My iPod touch 4g's screen went white and now it won't reboot or connect to iTunes
I was just on my Facebook app and then I clicked on a link. It's a link that doesn't usually do anything to my iPod. Then, the screen went white. This sort of happened the other day, too. I've tried to reboot it several times, but it won't do anything. It won't connect to iTunes, either. What can I do?
Try posting in the iPod forum. This is the iPhone forum.

I WAS USING IPHOTO AND THE POWER WENT OUT. WHEN I TURNED IMAC BACK ON IPHOTO WOULD NOT OPEN, JUST KEPT ASKING TO RELAUNCH. NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I RELAUNCH. I TRIED PUTTING THE RECOVERING DISCS IN BUT STILL WON'T OPEN!
It also broke your cap lock. You need to get your keyboard fixed as it makes reading your posts extremely difficult and is considered shouting which is rude
You need to load your back up or make a temp backup and rebuild your library

Our power suddenly went out and now Firefox can't establish a connection. How do I fix it?
Our power suddenly went out and when I turned the computer back on and opened Firefox, this is the message I get while trying any web page:
Unable to connect.
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.etsy.com.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.Maybe the Firefox rules in the firewall got damaged.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.<br />
Download a fresh copy of Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html ) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -
I installed ios7 on my iPad 2 yesterday, this morning it wouldn't open the weather channel app. I thought maybe I should power it down. When I held down on the power button the screen went black and now it won't do anything. What do I do now?
Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

The power went out while installing the software update..!
The power went out while installing the new Apple TV software update..! Now the LED flashes all the time, shows the apple logo and never boots.
I've already tried to restart with no result. I bought the microUSB cable and iTunes recognized it. I restored the firmware with success but when i disconect the usb cable the AppleTV is dead. It doesn't respond (LED is off) when i connect the power or when i use the remote. Now the LED flashes only when i connect it with the microUSB cable. I tried several times to restore the firmware with success but when i disconnect the microUSB, AppleTV seems dead.

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes
This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.
