U410 hangs at login screen with no password box or username box

So I received some virus quarantines yesterday and removed then but then when through my program files and researched/removed suspicious folders mostly. Went to restart my computer and it now hangs at the login screen with just the Windows login screen background. On startup it runs a memory check and then asks if I want to start in safe mode. Both modes hang at the login screen. So I downloaded the recovery disk because I didn't do the one click backup. I connect my external drive and change the boot order, then restart and it doesn't take me to my external blu ray drive to boot my CD from. Any suggestions here? Highly appreciated.... I am not under warranty.

A cd or usb flash drive will do. You have to go to bios and change the boot order. However, usually you don't see the cd/Dvd in the boot option so that is why I suggest using the flash drive. BTW, don't forget to disable secure boot when running the program.
@ the OP: did you disable secure boot?

MBP hangs after login screen with Circle with line through it

Recently, my MBP (Model A1278, MB990LL/A) started doing the "folder with blinking question mark" at start up as if it couldn't find the startup disk.
I held Option at startup and chose the Macintosh HD that it found. After selecting, it brings me to my username/login. I type in the PW and hit enter and the screen turns gray and I see the Apple logo in the middle with spinning gear below it. (All good so far, as this sequence is the same sequence as my other MBP). After about 1min of gear spinning though, the Apple logo changes to a Circle with a line through it. It never logs in and I never see the desktop.
Troubleshooting I've done:
1. Pulled out the HDD, plugged it up to my OTHER MBP and ran Disk Utility on the whole drive. Found no errors.
2. Put the HDD in question in my OTHER MBP and booted into my user account just fine. All the way to Desktop, no problems.
3. Took my WORKING HDD from my OTHER MBP and put it in the MBP in question and tried to boot, did the same thing. Circle with line after logging in.
4. Tried to run Apple Hardware Test from boot cd by holding D but nothing happens. Just gray screen to infinity.
5. Replaced the trackpad from my OTHER MBP just for fun
Any ideas? I'm usually pretty good at this stuff, but this one has me stumped.
Thank you!!!

No luck. I can't do a Safe Reboot, nor can I reset the NVRAM/PRAM. When I power on either 1 of 2 things happen. A) Nothing, grey screen until folder with flashing question mark or B) When it decides to, it finds my HDD and goes to login screen but after entering pw and hitting submit, I get the Apple logo for a minute then replaces with a Circle w/ Line.
Can't hold Shift at reboot, can't hold c to boot from DVD (have to hold Option and choose DVD), can't hold D and boot the Apple Hardware Test DVD.
Does anyone know of a way to reset the NVRAM/PRAM manually? Is there a CMOS battery like on a windows PC or something similar that I can remove to reset? Command+Option+P+R does not work, it reads that I've pressed Option and gives me the Startup Disk Manager screen to select a drive to boot from.
Thanks

how to lock the tauch screen with some password or dots like android to prevent misuse. And also screen lock to prevent interruption while watching movie reading books etc.

You can set a passcode to be requied to unlock the iPad via Settings > General > Passcode Lock. In terms of locking the actual screen whilst using an app, then that isn't currently possible, but with iOS 6 in the Autumn there will be a new 'accessibility' feature (from here) which will allow you :
... to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen

Hangs on grey screen with spinning wheel at start up

Power Mac g4 running tiger hangs on grey screen with spinning wheel (the wheel keeps going tho!) tried resetting the PRAM, PMU, changed the little battery thing on the main board, and starting from tiger dvd and os 9 dvd, dvds just keep ejecting. also tried starting in verbose and safe modes, still the same problem.
I can however access the hd through a network.
any ideas
Thanks

The only thing I know is to buy one. Not much help here. I have a collection of OS disks I bought to go along with all the Macs I've had and still have.
You said already that you had reset the PMU, but did you do that according to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1939
If not, then this may help. The PMU seems to be a miracle part of the OS. You could then plug the HD back in and a miracle will happen. I've read several threads where people kept doing this and all of sudden everything was cured. I think the last one I read, the person recommended holding in the button for at least 15 seconds and then releasing it. I just go by the Apple tech sheets.

MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right

Pretty much what the title says, 'MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right'. Does anyone have any idea why it does this? It hangs for a while before eventually continuing with the start-up, this is most frustrating when I have an SSD and want a quick start-up. I have already looked it up in the manual to no luck. Help?

9C last for me like 1 to 3s, depending on the amount of USB devices attached. If I have only USB printer, keyboard, and mouse attached, it shows for roughly less than 1.5s.

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
Terry

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

MBA hangs on login screen after mountain lion upgrade

I have a mid 2011 macbook air. Ever since I did the upgrade to mountain lion last week, I have had about 10 instances where it hangs on the login screen. I bring it up from sleep, I see the login but when I enter my password and hit enter, it just hangs with the login box grayed. I can hit the cancel button and it gives me the ability to interact with the login box again, but will not log in. on all but one of these instances I have had to restart the machine. I have timed it to 5 minutes twice before restarting the machine to get back in. This never happened with lion. Anyone else have this issue?

I have issues also.
With a samba share on Linux, ML can see it correctly, but on my Windows Home Server 2011, if i do smb://"server address" i receive and error saying that the share dows not exist on server. Before on Lion i had a list of my shares. On finder the Server apears with a "/" which i can not open.
If i do smb://"server address/share" is works correctly, but i would like to have tha before behaviour. Besides this the only issue that i found after upgrading is the WHS 2011 Lauchpad could not sign in (before in Lion was working).
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Can't reject a call from lock screen with pin password

When I set a PIN code for my iPhone with iOS7 "7.0.2" and recieve a call, I don't get an option to reject that call directly!
The only valid options on the lock screen is either to set a reminder to call back the caller or reject with message. Is there any hidden feature behind this? or Apple really intended that?
Attached 2 screen shots for a caller
While screen is locked with PIN password
While screen is unlocked

It has been this way for some time. This is how you would decline a call from the lock screen, and then declining a call from the open screen is how you have it showing.

Mac hangs at white screen with spinning with loading wheel while shutting down.

I've had a problem with my computer recently that really bugs me, because I been needing to install os x updates, but when i try to shut my computer down, it hangs at a white screen with the grey loading wheel forever until I forcibly shut it down. This has been bugging me a lot, and when I try other peoples' solutions, (e.g. resetting NVRAM, uninstalling apps), I can't figure out what apps to uninstall, and resetting the NVRAM is no luck. I have a console log of the shutdown here:

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top. It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking. What to do?

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003). It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top. I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me. I suspect a connection between these two problems.
I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder. It hasn't helped. The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
Help please!

Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??
Cheers, Chris.

Computer doesn't get past login screen with new HDD

I recently purchased a new Seagate (750GB Momentus) hard drive for my 2010 Macbook Pro. The first one didn't work well so I sent it in for a replacement, but now the replacement one is having the same issue. When I boot the computer, it doesn't get past the boot screen half the time. When it does, however, I can't get past the login screen; when I click login it flashes white and then goes back to the login screen. Disk utility claims to repair the drive each time that it is run, but always comes up with the same errors after booting. I am totally out of ideas.
Thanks in advance!

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your Recovery HD. When the menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
To boot to the Recovery HD restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and "R" keys until you see the spinning gear.

Hangs on white screen with Apple logo while booting

I can not get my Mac Pro Quad Core to boot up. It gets to the plain white screen with the Apple logo and will not go any further. I shut down the computer and unplugged it before a bad thunderstorm. Since then I haven't gotten it to boot up just once.

The Genius Bar said it was a "blip" in the OS. I just love the technical terms Apple uses. They did a repair install of Tiger. All of my software and documents seemed to have remain safely on my computer but none of my hardware was. I had to reinstall all related software for my hardware (Apogee Ensemble and wireless keyboard and mouse).
Hope this helps you Yogafreak. I could have reinstalled the OS myself but I had already carried the heavy mac pro all through the mall so I let the pros handle it. I would have preferred some service through the phone that didn't cost $50 for 30 days.
