Was Stuck at Loading Screen, tried support guide, new problem now

Hello everyone. I'm in a bit of trouble with my macbook. Recently it has been running slow and just yesterday when starting the macbook up, it was stuck at the loading screen. I have tried doing a reinstall, but got a failed to install after it ended. I followed the guide that the apple support provided (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570), but now I have ran into a new problem. Now when I resorted to erasing everything for sure, my macbook cannot detect a drive to install in. When I went into Disk Utility, it was unable to show the drive that had all my data in it. In addition, I was unable to create a partition or erase any data via disk utility. I am really confused on what to do now and really need help. My last option for sure would be to take the macbook to an apple genius representative at an apple store to see what they can do, but if I could resolve this issue and do a clean reinstall that would be great. Thank you for your time. Hope I can get this fixed.

You should run an Apple Hardware Test http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509 by pressing "D" at startup to check if Hardware.
Also try starting your computer on Target Disk Mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 if you have another computer you can connect with firewire. This helps to partition almost all the time with no problems.
Hope it helps

  • Unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours.

    Hi, I am unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours. I did not try to update, nor load any other OS versions.  Running a Bell Canada 10.1.  Tried to pull battery, leave phone boot for 5 hours, still stuck on 99%.  I tried plugging it in BB Link and computer will not recognize it.

    Every option Im seeing is telling me Im going to lose my data... is this true? I know with other phones ppl are able to mount the device as if it were a hard drive and pull content from it... is this not possible with the Z10? Thanks...

  • Pearl stuck on load screen 100%

    Not sure why it even needed to reset. I just looked at it and it was on the load screen - bar loaded to 100%.
    After half an hour nothing has changed, and the phone is unresponsive.
    I've tried a battery pull.
    After looking on google I found this
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Bold/Stuck-on-start-up-screen/td-p/572603
    Which tells you to reset the software through blackberry desktop manager,
    but...
    The desktop manager won't connect to my phone and is stuck on connecting.
    I've only had the phone for under 2 months!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • IMac is stuck on loading screen

    Hello
    My IMac (2009 i think), was working well, no problems at all. Tonight I started it and is stuck on loading screen. I have tried holding the Shift key and still doesnt stark. What can I do?
    This morning it was working fine.
    Thanks!

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.
    Re-install if that doesn't work.

  • My computer is stuck on loading screen with logo and spiny thing

    I'm having some difficulty in understanding you.   What is mdnsresponder?   How can you edit files if you can't get past the blue screen?   What are you using to post these messages on the forum?
    Let me suggest the following and see how you go.
    Do you get the ‘Orchestral’ start up tone when you power up?
    You might try this.
    Shut down the machine.
    Disconnect the power cable.
    Wait about 15 seconds
    Reconnect the power cable.
    Wait a few more seconds.
    Press the power button to restart.
    If there is no change ...
    Try to start the system in Safe Mode.   You can do this by restarting the machine and holding down the shift key as soon as your hear the start up tone.
    More information on >>>      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    If the system boots in Safe Mode you could have a software issue and may need to reinstall the OS.    Which is why I asked if you have or can get the original DVD.

  • Macbook stuck at loading screen

    Hello,
    I need help. My mac stuck on loading screen. I've tried everything, read different threads, nothing helped. Repaired in disk utility, it said OK. Tried to reinstall Mac OS, but after content is downloaded, computer restards to install it and stucks again. Tried hardware test, but it stucks when it's almost done. Did ar resets, repairs etc. Please help me!

    If you've tried repairing the disk from the installation discs without success, you really need to try with something a little more robust. I'd suggest DiskWarrior. http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html
    If that's not an option for you, you can consider an Archive & Install which will preserve your User, settings, and files. Have a look here:

  • Ovi store stuck on loading screen (N8)

    So I have this problem lately. I instaled new ovi store app and it get stuck on loading screen everytime I try to run this app.
    I tried to reinstall it, I tried to reinstal phone soft and ovi store after and nothing changed.
    pls help me with this. I cant use ovi store at all :/  

    Ok guys, I could solve the issue with some easy steps:
    1) First, reset and restore.Do not restore backup because will restore corrupted files at the QT library, hence making the phone not working fine.
    2) Now begin setting up your Nokia account and e-mail. Restart.
    3) SW update now including ovi store. Access OVI store and update again. Restart.
    4) Now, if you access the OVI store it will get stuck on "loading", so do not do it. You need now to connect the phone to your computer and install the support software from OVI SUITE. Then, disconnect and restart.
    5) Now access OVIMAPS on your phone and setup automatic connection with your nokia account. Restart.
    6) Great. You can access OVI STORE now and download whatever you want. You can also use the backup restore if you want but doing so will block some apps from uninstalling.
    Everything is ok now. Have fun ;D

  • HT1455 My iMac stucked at loading screen( Spinning gear )..

    My iMac stucked at loading screen( Spinning gear ), i tried everything including reboot process while pressing shift key in keyboard but it is not responding, please help me with this. thanks in advance.

    You might try the following:
    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Hope this helps

    A REPEATING CYCLE now i have No PHONE!!!! Help ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Try it...
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
