Stuck on Apple logo for 10 minutes and then boots

I have a white macbook which has a dead battery it only works plugged in. One night i left it downloading the updates and after that the machine kepts like 10 minutes on the apple logo and the she boot to the os. I reinstalled the os but still the same. I tried to replace the ram but now flases five times and does not start. I am assuming the new ram is bad. My question is replacing the ram and the hd will solve my issue. What are the specs of the ram and how much ram could be installed? It has to be on pairs? What is the meaning ofnthe flashing light?

If you bought your RAM at a place that also sells PC RAM you may have gotten mislabelled RAM. PCs can handle different RAM speeds but Macs are much more picky.
This is from one review of PNY RAM:
"These modules are actually 800Mhz. PNY no longer makes or sells 667Mhz modules. Not all computers that require 667Mhz are compatible with 2 800Mhz modules. They refuse to down clock properly. This is especially true with a number of Core 2 Duo MacBooks. Spoke to PNY support, they flat out told me that yes, they sell 800Mhz modules in 667Mhz packaging. If you RMA a module that is 667Mhz (or supposed to be 667Mhz) they will replace it with an 800Mhz module as they no longer have any 667Mhz SODIMMs, not even for RMA replacement!"
These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.

Ipod touch 1st gen is frozen, all I see is Apple logo for 10 secs and then screen goes black. What's wrong with it?

My ipod touch (1st gen) is frozen and does not respond. All I can see is the Apple logo for around 10 seconds and then screen returns to black. What is wrong?

Did you already try to connect in recovery mode and restore? iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset and SMC for good measure.

Starts to boot, shows Apple logo for 2+ minutes, then starts again

Yesterday the computer started to boot up as usual with the 'boot chord', Apple logo, then the screen went black, and started over again. This time it successfully booted and ran normally for the rest of the day. This morning, it never gets beyond the boot process; i.e. start chord, Apple logo for several minutes, then black screen and the whole process repeats over and over again. Front panel status LED is on and steady. I tried 5 different boot disks (internal HD, two external SuperDuper clones, a DiskWarrior DVD and the OSX 10.6 install disk and the results were the same. It is still under extended warranty, but I can't afford the downtime for Apple to repair it. Any idea what might be wrong? Any thing else I might try to get it going again?

Hopefully the Time Machine backup is intact and the computer will continue to work with it connected (requires a 3rd party eSATA RAID controller card). Assuming all the hardware works, I am unclear how best to restore the app's from the TM backup.
The official way to do a full restore from TM is to boot from an installation DVD and select "Restore from Time Machine" from the Utilities menu. I don't see how that will work if your backup is on a third-party RAID, because the controller requires a driver that isn't on the DVD. That may be why you can't boot from the DVD.
I think your best bet is to clone the installation disc to a bootable volume and install the RAID driver on it. The volume could be hosted on an external storage device or burned to a DVD. See here for an example of how to do this.

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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 3G displays apple logo for a few seconds then reboots (continuously)

Hi all,
So far my iPhone has gone from not turning at all to booting with the apple logo for a few seconds, then disappearing. My device will do this over and over again until the battery is dead. When I plug it into my computer, it works completely fine, syncs, restores, etc. The phone will remain powered on after unplugging from my computer, but my screen is unresponsive to touch and occasionally the lcd will become very dark (dimmed)
My assumption as of right now is that it is a hardware issue, any suggestions or pointers for my next steps? I'm running out of ideas before I give it up and send it to apple

Hello xtn,
As paulcb mentioned, try resetting the iPhone. The behavior you've mentioned would be consistent with a stuck Sleep/Power button. However, it is odd that it mounts and works OK with your computer. A physically stuck button would tend to cause the iPhone to repeatedly mount and dismount from iTunes as well.
One last thing you can try is to restore the iPhone and set it up as a new phone.
If the issue persists, you may need to have it serviced:

Hello c:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Your post was hard to follow, but, for openers, very few people should EVER use terminal commands. As you have found out, you can screw a system up badly.
So much for the lecture.
OS X requires a system administrator password when anyone tries to install software that will affect the operating system. This is an Apple security feature that keeps people from, hopefully, doing dumb things to their system.
You cannot use a "friends" disk on a system that differs from your own.
Bottom line, you need to reinstall the operating system (whatever came with the system). If it is OS X 10.5, you could do an archive and install.
There is no way that I know of to undo the damage caused by entering the arcane terminal commands.

My ipod shuffle is showing up when plugged into my computer. Also, isn't the orange light suppose to stay on until charged. Mine lights orange for a minute and then goes off.

my ipod shuffle is showing up when plugged into my computer. Also, isn't the orange light suppose to stay on until charged. Mine lights orange for a minute and then goes off and also it wont be recongnize by my computer .please help

I'm having the same problem. I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer. I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it. Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

Wait for 3 minutes and then run another method

I'm calling a JMS service lets say runProgress() the method adds a new row into a database then waits for 3 minutes and then runs another method that removes the row from the table.
I was thinking about this, and thought that I could create a new Thread, let it wait for 3 minutes and the run the other method.
The thing is what happens if there are 10.000 users running this at the same time, then there would be 10.000 Threads, wouldn't it be a hevy load on the server.
Is there any other way?? Suggestions?

What do you think about if there are massive, like
10.000+, queue's in memory, this would be slow down
for the server, right? or isn't it a trouble?you don't need 10.000 queues - just one single queue. you may have a lot of objects in the queue but this is at most a memory problem - depends on the size of the information you need.
maybe i was not clear enough: you have a single queue where the tasks are put into. then there are other threads (at least 1) that read from the queue and perform actions.
One option, that I don't know how to do yet but
thinking about it, is to let the database have some
kind of a procedure that would run after 3 minutes,
but I guess that I were only moving the memory trouble
from the app-server to the database. (hope you
understand me)yes, i think so.
So it would be just as good to do this in the
app-server as in the database, what do you think?a good idea. typically with all these optimization issues you just have to try out. otherwise you won't know the result.
