Stuck between spinning circle and Apple logo...

I realise everyone is having issues, but they seemed to be related to issues once the phone actually connects to iTunes. About 4 hours ago my phone did connect and try to upgrade etc, and I got the 3200 error. HOWEVER now all my phone is doing is switching between the Apple logo and spinning wheel of death... ANYONE know what the **** I do? None of my 3 computers will even recognise it's plugged in...

Iphone stuck between loading sign and apple logo?

I was using my iphone and this happened. I never jailbroke my phone or anything and now it won't turn on. I tried the hard reset and it never finished because it said it could not find the iphone on itunes. I also tried home and power and that never worked either.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Ipod touch 3g stuck between recovery mode and apple sign

Hello everyone,
I was hoping someone could assist me... I have an iPod Touch 3g (32gb) that is stuck in recovery mode. Once in a while, it'll go to the start up Apple Logo... but then it'll go back to the recovery mode/connect to iTunes screen. To add to the fun, sometimes it would go into regular iPod mode and I can surf the net, and do regular things. However, when it goes into that mode... the screen would flicker between the regular screen and a greyish screen. At that point, I shut the iPod off... but when I do that the iPod will turn itself back on (yes, it's strange).
Anyone with any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried to recovery the iPod on iTunes... once it "succeeds", it goes back telling me to recover the iPod again so it's basically looping. I've tried to recover this device with another computer with iTunes... same result. I can't get this thing on DFU mode.. as it won't respond to it. I've also tried various USB cables.
Is there any hope? (or any ideas in terms of what could be causing the issues)
Thanks a bunch.

Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here. It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

OS X v10.6- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard 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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Flickering between password screen and apple logo?

my ipad 2 keeps flickering between the password entry screen and the apple logo on a black screen every second, bleeping as it switches between the two screens. This will go on indefinitely and no individual button is receptive, for example you can not alter the beeping volume.
I have left the ipad until the battery drained, but when placed on charge it starts going through the same process, flickering between the two screens. I have tried holding the home and power down buttons in as suggested on these forums but although it reboots as such it starts to beep and flicker between the two screens.
Has anyone any clues, the beeping is getting a little annoying.

Yes, it concerns me a little as well. Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes and you could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. That may be the issue causing iTunes to think that the iPad is an iPhone.
Before you try that, try different USB ports on your computer. Don't use a hub. Make sure you connect directly to the computer. You could try rebooting your computer as well.
Here are instructions to remove iTunes.

I know you feel this way too, but I don't want your situation to get any worse with trying too many things. I know you are "dead in the water" anyway with the iPad but still - you don't want to exacerbate the problem.

IBook G4 appears to start then sticks at spinning wheel and apple screen

Hello there,
I have an old G4 laptop. Recently installed Airport Extreme card, started it up, no worries! Then was prompted to download updated software from Apple. Did so. But then when I tried to restart it all I get is the Apple chime, then the screen with the spinning wheel and apple logo. The startup does not continue from there. It just keeps on spinnin'. I have tried reboot, restart commands, battery out, battery in. The cord and battery appear fine, but just can't back into my Mac.
I'd appreciate any tips please.
Thanks,
Kurt

Have you tried to SafeBoot on startup, and then see if using Disk Utility's
'repair disk permissions' on the selected Macintosh HD lists fixes? {The
safeboot startup takes some time, often that can take many minutes of
holding the Shift- key down on startup before it goes into login screen...}
Then see if the computer would restart normally.
Or, if nothing happens after that, have you tried starting the computer
up with the OS X Installer disc1 (the boot/install disc) and C -key held
down until you see it is attempting to load the Installer. Then, choose
from the menubar from the Installer header (perhaps not first window
you see on bootup from install disc) and look for the drop-down menu
with Disk Utility in it. Run it from there, to Repair Disk and also to run
Repair Disk Permissions. Note any error messages, and also see if
the SMART status is indicated for the hard drive as Pass/Fail.
You can choose a Startup Disk from the Installer's drop-down menu,
for when you are done with Disk Utility, the computer may attempt
to start from the installed system you are trying to fix.
There also is an Apple Hardware Test included on the original install
disc which accompanied the computer when new; it will work as a
boot volume but requires a different key held on startup to access it.
Not sure if that key is the Opt key, or another. I seldom use the AHT.
{If there appears to be issues after attempting the above, you may
consider removing the AirPort Extreme Card, and try SafeBoot again.}
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Ipad won't respond to forced shutdown...spinning between battery icon and apple icon and flashing home screen

ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I disconnected my iPad unconsciously while it was updating ios 7.0.4 and it just stuck on that screen showing apple logo and a loading bar that just won't move on what to do now ????

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.
