Weird! RAID icons still in the boot screen after restored them back to norm

I created a software RAID 0 with two 250GB hard disks by using Disk Utility. Installed OSX on them. And I restored them to two separated disks yesterday, Installed OSX on one of them, formated another one for media storage. But weird thing is when I press "alt"key into boot screen, they are still there! Now I have five boot icons- two RAID disks, one OSX, one backup OSX and one for windows. What is wrong with that?? Anyone have the same problem? PLZ help!!!

Thanks BUT problem solved! I reformated the disks using "zero-out" option in Disk Utility and guess what? The stupid icons disappeared!:D "zero-out" formating will take longer than normal formating,about 40 minutes for a 250GB HD.

TS3474 my i pod is still on a white screen after restoring with the two buttons and also restoring on i tunes and it still has a white screen

my i pod is still on a white screen after restoring with the two buttons and also restoring on i tunes and it still has a white screen

I've been struggling with mine all morning with the same issue.
Mine would not wake up from sleep (will just white screen).
It will boot using a hard reset (i.e. the power button and volume down button being held down for 8 or so secs). I restored and synced it multiple times but it still has a problem waking up and just just goes to white screen.
I saw a post suggesting a loose connection which I had my doubts about (as it will wake with hard reset) - bit BINGO! If I wake mine (with index finger) whilst applying pressure to the top of the screen area (with my thumbs) it will wake up. When I become frustrated enough I'll take it apart and see if something has become loose.
Hope this helps.

My Macbook Pro locks up on the boot screen

I've had my Macbook pro since mid 2008 (15-inch model) and last time I used it, it froze while I was typing a paper and I had to force shut it down. When I turned it back on it gave me the start-up tone like normal, but after a few moments on a boot screen the spinning icon would just freeze and sit there. I could still hit my volume keys and could hear the blips go up and down as the volume adjusted. I first tried booting it in safe mode. A progress bar showed up, but about 30% through filling it vanished and the computer locked up again. I've tried resetting the PRAM, holding down option when I start the computer (I'm using Lion and both the normal HD and recovery HD options have the exact same result), I even tried putting in the install disc and holding C while the computer starts up and though I can hear the disc drive working the computer just acts like there's nothing in there at all. This is really driving me crazy, I really would like to get my Macbook working again and I can't afford to just replace it. Any insight anyone could offer me would be very greatly welcome because no matter what I do I just get returned to the boot screen and the spinning icon just locks up every time after a few moments

S90 stuck at the boot screen

My S90 is stuck at the boot screen. It shows the booth screen for hours now. If I switch the power button it will not swtich off the phone, but restart it again to the boot screen. What should I do with it? I considered that I could let it run out of battery, but I am not sure how much the phone can run on a simple booth screen with just the lenovo log on the screen. Also not sure if once I recharge it would not have the same problem. Any advice how to solve this?

I have no idea how it got stuck at the boot screen (the one after powered by android). The phone was out of battery, I connected it to the charger, immediately turned it on, and it got stuck. Draining did not help so I tried to fully charge it. That did not help. It was stuck at the boot screen until 5am (local time) so I had to follow the other instructions. That got me to a menu that let me choose the language between English and Chinese. Then I could reboot the device, power it off, install updates (or something similar), or wipe up device. Reboot or Power still got me back to being stuck at the boot screen. Install updates did not work. So I had to wipe up the data. That gave me two options (a) fuse wipe up data and (b) fuse format data (or something similar). No idea what the difference is, or what that does, but I was worried I will loose all my photos stored on the phone. But since I had no choice I decided to press "fuse wipe up data". That seems to have factory reset the phone. It started normally and it appears as after a factory resent (all my own apps and settings are gone). I had to pick the language and agree with Lenovo license agreement, etc. However, for some reason, all my photos were still in the phone's gallery (why?), so I am now copying them to the pc. So that's how far I got so far. Thanks for your very valuable help and advice. Let's see if I encounter any more issues with it or any other peculiarities.

Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring.

Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel. Please Help.

Hello,
I'm currently in mac recovery. I have a 21.5'' iMac (I think late 2011). I'm running OSX mountain lion and I think its kept up to date. Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel (not the beachball one). This seems to go on for ever (at least 3 hours) ant will not boot. Booting in safe mode does not work and results in the same problem. As I said earlier I can get tom recovery mode. Thanks Oliver.
I have on/for my machine:
Mac OSX mountain lion
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
4GB of ram
OSX 10 FULL backups (External 2TB drive)
500GB HDD
Please ask if you would like more Information.

Hello, disconnect any external drives for now.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Why does my 4s keep returning tot the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the home button to see the lock screen?

3 or 4 times since I first fired up my iPhone 4S yesterday, it has displayed the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the Home button to display the lock screen. After 10-20 seconds the phone displays the lock screen, but at that point it has to search for a cell signal (as if the phone just booted up), which takes another 20-30 seconds.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Another thing that has happened only once, but that seems related, is that when I clicked the lock button on the top of the phone, the phone displayed the spinning circle that usually displays when an iPhone or iPad is shutting down.
Any ideas on what MIT be causing this?

Disk repair hasn't worked as well.
I just wanted to add a quick observation: after I tried the TM restore for the first time, Safe Boot in verbose mode seems to be stuck at this line "VBoxAdpDrv: version 3.1.0 r55467". This may point to the problem being a Virtual Box problem.
I use Virtual Box extremely rarely - haven't used it in many months. After a re-install, I'm going to remove it and then try the upgrade. If it works, then we've probably found the culprit. If it is real, Apple should maybe add a line saying Virtual Box known to cause problems with this upgrade (or fix it ).

Please always state your operating system when you have a question. Lion 10.7.2 minimum is required for iCloud; the Preference pane does not appear in earlier systems.

Resetting all settings on iPhone makes it stuck at the boot screen endlessly

This is the second time my iPhone stuck at the boot screen and won't boot again until of course I restore all over again.
This problem happened on iOS 8 and iOS 8.1.2
Does anyone have an explanation for this problem or the iOS until this release is buggy?

Hi Try a Reboot press and hold power button and menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo. This may take up to 50 Seconds. Cheers Brian

Make sure your ipod is charged at least 10 min before you connect to the computer. Also make sure to have the latest version of iTunes (10.4)
As you can see.. Stated above.. Quote "I have tried Recovery.. and it does not work.." Unquote

Icons keep leaving my dock. I put them back and they leave again. How can I keep them on the dock?

Did you request that they be left in the Dock? To do this you activate the application and its icon will be in the Dock, click and hold on it, a pop-up menu will show near the icon and in it will be a menu with "Option" in it. Click on "Option" and you will find an item that will say "Keep In Dock", click on it and the icon will stay in the Dock. If you have done all this and the icon still goes away someone else will have to help you.

Why does my new iPhone 5s keep taking me back to the Hello screen after I restore instead of home screen?

I've just plugged in my brand new iPhone 5s into iTunes to restore all the info from my old iPhone 4 onto it but instead of coming up with the homescreen with the icons it just brings me right back to the Hello screen and walks me back through the first few questions for Setting Language, Selecting Country, and Choosing a Wi-Fi network and then finally to Set Up iPhone and I select the Restore from iTunes Backup. At that point iTunes gives me the selection on their screen and I restore from backup. I see the Homescreen for a second and then it goes through the whole thing all over again. What's happening?

Are you sure it isn't just going into standby mode, if you touch the screen when it goes black does anything happen?
Perhaps a recent software update has reset some settings.

I have deleted the face time it is still in the trash, try to put it back still nothing happens

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, 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 be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

HT1414 still has white screen after restore

I still have a white screen after restart and restore

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
