Updated to FCPX 10.2, can't get past splash screen

So, I got through a batch of projects, and finally upgraded to FCP 10.2
After installation, I can't get past the splash screen. I'm asked, via a dialogue box, if I wish to update my libraries / events. I do.
Then... I see rapid fire text loading and then updating libraries / events. Then it gets stuck on a particular event... beach ball... nothing.
I've tried several times, and it gets stuck on a random event.
I can't get past the splash screen. I've rebooted. Still nothing.

Generally, if FCP opens under one account but not another, the issue is a corrupt preference in the non-functioning users account.
While in your user account, download and intall FCP Rescue (google it to find it), open it up (with FCP not running) and TRASH your preferences.
Try FCP again.

On my wife's iPad mini I can't get past the screens accepting the software license to upgrade over WiFi

On my wife's iPad mini I can't get past the screens accepting the software license to upgrade iOS over WiFi.
Works if I do it over iTunes on my desktop.
I get the screens to agree to the software license (twice) then it sits there until I get impatient. like 30-60 seconds. Have tried a hard boot but have to connect it to the computer each time. Latest was when I upgraded to 8.2

Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows

I recently installed iTunes on my new HP laptop computer, authorized it according to the instructions, but now can't get past a screen that tells me that I need to authorize the computer. I purchased an album and it's in the library, but it won't sync.

Macbook keeps restarting, can't get past icon screen

I had to correct my permissions because I couldn't edit my address book and ical. Everything was working fine last night after I did the permission fixes. But when I booted up my Mac tonight, the farthest I could get was the white screen with the Apple icon and the animated circle. After a few minutes, the laptop will reboot itself and continued to do that for 30 minutes. I can't get past that screen. What is going on? How do I fix this? I finally turned off the Mac and am using my Dell.

The question mark on the file tells you that your MacBook wants to start up but can't find a viable OS to start from. Can you start up from the DVD that came with your Mac? If so, go to Disk Utility and see if you can repair the internal hard drive. If you can't see the hard drive from within DU, your drive may have failed, and you may need to replace it. Good luck.

My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10. This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least. If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

Have you tried resetting the device?
Hold down the home and lock buttons until you see an Apple Logo, then release the buttons.
If that doesn't work, you should check to see if you have a backup because you may have to restore your device.

My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

Have you tried to power off and on? If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

You can remove the Airplay password from the Settings menu on your AppleTV.

Can't get past login screen following software update

I've been using Leopard on my Mini for months quite happily and when last night the Apple software update window popped up I let it install as I have always done without a problem.
My machine re-booted, went through installing the two updates and when it had finished re-booted again. Problem is I can't get past the login screen, the process goes like this...
Switch on --> Grey screen with apple logo and swirly --> Wallpaper appears --> login window --> enter password --> login window says 'logging in' and dissapears --> Blue screen appears --> login window appears again.
I've tried a safe-mode boot (hold down shift at boot) - no difference. I've tried single user mode (cmd + S) - no difference. I've even tried booting from the leopard install DVD (hold down C at boot) but my mac just ignores all this and goes through the process outlined above.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you using a wireless keyboard? Those commands may not work if the operating system loads before the keyboard driver.
If you have a wired keyboard, try holding down the option key at startup to show all the bootable drives, including the install disk. Then after booting from the install disk use Disk Utilities from the Utilities menu to do a Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.
If you can boot into Safe-Mode, 10.5.6 is supposed to clear up some known issues after a reboot. See this MacWorld article:

Can't get past blue screen on XP install...help

Can't get past the "Welcome to setup" screen while installing.
I did get this to install once, but my mac. drivers CD apperantly had errors, so I decided to unistall everything and redo. Now, it won't work at all.
Someone please give me a way around this. I'm tired of looking at this **** screen. It says to set up windows xp now, press enter. I think by now my return AND enter key will be broken by the number of times pressed.

My mistake, Safe Mode disables DVD player...
Perhaps re-installing 10.5.8 Combo Update while in Safe Mode might help.

Can't get past gray screen with file icon on it

When i turn on my computer the power light goes out but the gray screen stays on. After two or three minutes an icon of a file with a question mark appears. I cannot get past this screen. I have removed my battery and tried again. I have also tried the other processes for a computer that won't turn on. In my case the computer does turn on just never gets past this gray screen. Please someone help me

Got a new wireless keyboard that is not paired - can't get past login screen// any solutions?

The keyboard that arrived paired with my iMac was having connection issues so I swapped it this past weekend for a new one.
When I turned on my computer, I realized that I couldn't type anything because the new keyboard is not paired with my iMac.
Because of this, I can't get past my login screen! Any solutions? Thanks!

Use a USB keyboard until you can get new keyboard connected. It can be any old USB keyboard, one from a PC is fine. If you can borrow one that would be fine.
