Stuck at boot up screen the Apple!

My iPhone 3G is stuck on the Apple boot screen. How can I re install the software or get the phone to boot up? I have tried the home button and power button. Please HELP!

It looks like you're going to have to do that, since DiskWarrior won't run, so you can't tell what might be wrong with the disk. I'd zero out the drive and then restore from your backup if possible; otherwise I'd reinstall from the OS X install discs, then Repair Disk, Repair Permissions, and then update to 10.4.7 using the 10.4.7 Combo Update.

My Macbook is stuck at the loading screen (the apple with the spinning circle beneath it). I went to Best Buy, they told me to call Apple Help and ask them to restore my unit. But Apple help wont help me without charging me. Help please !!

My Macbook Pro is stuck at the loading screen (the apple with the spinning circle underneath). I went to Best Buy to get help, and they told me to call Apple Help and ask them to 'restore my unit', which he said is a matter of only about 4 mouse clicks. If it was so easy, I didn't understand why he couldn't do it for me. But he said that even though I have a 3 year warranty and protection plan with them, they were not responsible for this type of problem. Whatever.
Anyway, so I called Apple Help, and even though he was familiar with my problem, it's been more than 90 days since I purchased the laptop, therefore I'd have to set up a service agreement to get his assistance, meaning I'd have to PAY him. So now i'm stuck, and I'm just hoping somebody knows what to do to help me
I don't have any disc that I apparently need, and I don't remember ever getting one. However, if there is some other way to fix this issue, please let me know. Thanks for your time and assistance

HI, have you blown the dust out lately?
Does it boot better/further if allowed to cool?
If you're sure the RAM is good, try the Hair Dryer trick...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Imac stuck on boot up screen

Hi all
Right now my computer is stuck on boot up with the gray screen. First I tried the soft boot but nothing happened then I tried to start up From my Snow Leopard Cd and it popped it out of the computer. I do not know what to do next.
Thank you.
Sandy

HI BGreg
I booted up my 10.6 Cd holding down the C Key. It went a second or two and then the CD popped out.
Something else I noticed that I did not mention before was a soft clicking sound that I thought was coming from my back up drive. So I shut the back up drive off and then tried starting up from the Imac again, without the disk. This time I got the question mark on the screen and that the soft clicking sound is coming from my computer.
I would like to try turning the back up drive back on and try your alt/option scenario with my Os cd in my Imac and see what happens.
What do you think?
Sandy
Ps.I just printed out the apple note info you highlighted and am going to read and try out soltutions!

Reinstall OS X.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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 the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
OR
Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

My iMac wouldn't boot up past the Apple logo...

My iMac wouldn't boot up past the Apple logo, so I tried to boot up from the install disk. Now all I have is the icon for a folder with a ? Mark on it and it is flashing. Now I can't get my disk back out. Any suggestions?

You cna get the disk out by holding the left wired mouse button and/or the option key down on a wired (not wireless) keyboard while booting up the machine and then pressing the eject key when Startup Manager loads.
The flashing icon on the folder is the firmware can't find the bootable volume assigned to it. Could be a software or hardware problem, could be it forgot or can't find it.
If you booted with the option key held down, then if you see your OS X boot volume then select it and hold the Shift key down for Safe Mode, set System Preferences > Startup disk again.

Gomtomsyetm preferencs and make sure that you HDD is selected as the start up disk. Then start up using your install disc and run disk utility and repair the drive just in case something has gotten corrupt.

So, after my iPod touch died, i plugged it into the computer to try and charge it, and now it keeps changing between the charging screen, the apple logo, and a blank black screen, still hasn't charged, and its been plugged in for almost an hour now

See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

Stuck on grey boot-up screen with Apple logo & spinning icon for 12 hours

I awoke to find my computer displaying the 'Restart your computer' screen, which I did by holding down the power button. Upon restarting, I got the grey loading screen with the apple icon and the spinning wheel. It stayed that way for hours without proceding. Have tried removing the battery, removing the charger and restarting. Have tried doing a forced disk-boot by holding down 'c' and restarting with the OS X disc 1 in the drive, but all I got was a beep and then the same screen again.
I'm starting to get a little nervous here as nothing is working, and there don't seem to be any others with the same problem I'm having!

Have you changed your Ram or done anything else
lately - here's a reference to your 'beep'...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58442
I'd suggest trying an SMC reset...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
followed by a Pram reset...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Hopefully some of these resets will correct the
problem. Have you 'jarred' you book and maybe
loosened the ram??
I unfortunately have tried all of those and haven't had any luck.
Pardone my ignorance, but if I have dislodged the RAM, how would I know? And, potentially more significantly, how do I fix it?
Thanks for the help thus far, though.
