Hello korncompaq,
Your computer will not boot.
It sounds like you may have a problem with your board.
I’d suggest take the computer somewhere local and have them check everything out.
Let me know how everything goes.

  • Imac intel won't restart, I get gray screen and spinning wheel then shut off

    My imac intel only restart after running disk utility, otherwise I get a gray screen with apple logo and spinning wheel then after about 2min it shuts off.  this all started after a power outage.  I have tried everything that I have read online to fix this, it seems doing a clean install is last resort. Does anyone have any other options for me?

    I have tried disconnecting the periperals, restarting in "safe boot", resetting the pram and I tried starting up in single user mode.  It will only start up if I start up from the original gray 10.4 start up disk and run "repair disk"....I get errors including "The underlying task reported failure on exit".  I then eject the disk and restart and it works fine but if I have to shut down or restart for any reason it's back to the gray screen.
    Your system profile confirms you are using OS 10.5.8.  Boot up from your OS 10.5.x install dvd.  Use the "repair disk" setting.  If you get the same error, then run Apple Hardware Test from your original system dvd.

  • Grey screen with apple and spinning progress then shuts off

    how can i fix this?

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iMac displays apple and progress bar then shuts off

    Hi I heard the apple bar erases the memory when this happens. Does anyone have another option?

    The progress bar usually indicates it is attempting a Safe Boot, which does clear some Caches. It doesn't erase the memory.
    First, try resetting NVRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Can you boot into Recovery? If so, try to repair the disk in Disk Utility.

  • HT4623 just updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, now my phone won't turn back on. The apple logo comes on and sits then shuts off. I have held down the home button and on/off switch several times to reset, but same problem persists.

    Place iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes. Then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, open iTunes 10.7 on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, then click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try DFU Mode Restore, here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode. If still problem and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • TS3274 Some games we have apps for... Open then shut off and won't stay open.......

    Some games we have apps for.......open then shut off and do not stay open... Any ideas?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help try quitting the app first then reset the iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    If still no joy try deleting the app an download it again.
    Also make sure your iPad has enough free space to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.

    - Try another cable

  • My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

    earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did.  In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds.  If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it.  I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change.  All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

    The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
    Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
    So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

  • Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off.

    Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off after a few seconds, but the Windows bootcamp partition works fine.
    The repair disc option (using install disc) failed, and the computer cannot locate the original Mac side partition. Only Bootcamp appears under options to "restore from backup" or reinstall. The repair disc options says it should be repaired but doesn't seem to know how.
    Macbook Pro.
    Snow leaopard
    Bootcamped with Windows.
    Any ideas?

    Hold c or option key and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, run DU Repair from there.
    run through this list of fixes 1-8
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If it doens't work, you can recover files if you don't have any current OS X file backups, then grab what you can out of Bootcamp
    Use Data Rescue installed on the extenral boot drive ($100) to read the bits of the internal (non-filevaulted) drive to retrieve OS X data files if you can't get them off manually via drag and drop methods.
    Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
    If you want to clone Windows, use WinClone and another drive. However it's likely compromised, unless it something you did in Windows, like trying to create a new parttition perhaps?
    Then perform a Zero Erase and install of 10.6 as shown here (on the entire drive, not only the parittions), this will give a new GUID partition table, EFI and map off bad sectors, totally fresh everything.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    You cna use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the new extenral setup to the new scrubbed internal drive. Recreate Bootcamp and WinClone back or fresh install Windows into Bootcamp like before. OR opt to use virtual machine software which is safer.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
    Windows 7 can write to the boot drives GUID partition map (unlike XP), this is likely why it's borked now.

    ^Hi.  yesterday, after trying to study on my iphone 4, i accidentally clicked okay on something that poped up while flipping through notecards.  it told me that it was "updating", i had my phone updated to ios7 but not 7.0.2..  i tried to shut if off to see if it would stop the update, because i didnt want it to do that.  after a few minutes i turned it back on and it was still updating.  it then shut off and a screen poped up telling me to plug my phone into iturnes.  itunes recognized my phone and said it was in recovery mode and i would have to restore it.  i have tried to restore it three times and nothing has happened.  it will go all the way through the restore process, say it is finished, and then nothing will happen.  my phone will not stay in DFU mode, i have tried for 20 minutes to get it to.  i have even uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  i dont know what to do and i have been without a phone for alomost 24 hours.  how do i get my phone back to normal?  can i fix it or could at&t replace it?  or do i have to take it to an apple store? Please help me.

    Has your phone been jailbroken in the past? If yes, this could be a reason for not being able to finish the restore process.
    If not, did you try to restore it on a different computer?

    Press and hold the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
