What does it mean when all I see on the screen is a circle with a slash?

I did a hard shutdown when my MacBookPro was not responding to a Save command, When I rebooted all I got was a circle with a slash through it in the center of the screen, and the "spinning wheel of death" below it. What happened??

Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
What exact MacBook Pro and what Mac OS X version do you use, since the signature only states the name and the iOS version of your iPhone or iPad?

What does it mean when you get a pop up notification saying that a phone number has been associated with your iTunes account? And what does it mean when I don't know the number that is associating with my account? Should I be worried?

I got a notification stating that a number has been associated with my now old iTunes account and it is a number I do not recognize. Should I be worried at all?

Yes, if you don't bother to change your password. You may also want to seriously consider turning on two step authentication.

What does it mean when it says "currently on the release update channe " l

under the about firefox help thing at the top of the page( ,after i downloaded the9.0.1. update thingy )there is a sentence that now says "You are currently on the RELEASE update channel." What does that mean ? & does it have anything to do with the extremely slow response time &/or almost continuous"page not found" or "unable to connect to web" crap I keep getting 95%of the time I attempt to go on line ? p.s. I have dial-up with no possibility of getting high speed any time in the next 5 yrs.,thanks to my location here in Alaska so lets not even go there :) & what used to take me 5min.to do re; E-mail etc, now takes up to 20 min. but only after I downloaded that 9.0.1 stuff. Please Help Me !!!

The Release update channel is the correct update channel for normal Firefox users.<br />
There are other update channels that are meant for testing future Firefox version for more experienced people to look for bugs and try out the code that will appear in those new versions.<br />
Normal users shouldn't use such test versions, so you are fine with what you currently have.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

What does it mean when on my desktop appear the error in multi language to restart my mac?, What does it mean when on my desktop appear the error in multi language to restart my mac?

Hello! Just wanted to ask what does it mean more exactly when the error in muti language to restart my mac appears to my desktop ?

Hello ioanaroxy,
In rare situations, your Mac may spontaneously restart, turn off, display a message "You need to restart your computer…", or become unresponsive, indicating a kernel panic has occurred.
I recommend reviewing the following article for more information about kernel panics and how to troubleshoot kernel panics.

Yes, if the blue light is blinking and it's plugged on the computer, your player is charging. Wait until it is fully charged before you use it.

You should reinstall OS X. See the following for reinstalling instructions for Lion/Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

What does it mean when you call someone and it goes straight to the 3 beeps to mean cancelled

hi
what does it mean when you call someone and it goes straight to the 3 beeps to mean cancelled? this phone doesnt even ring, it just goes straight to the BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, its an iphone 4 and on IOS7 and it was ringing eailier on in the day when i spoke to this person. it wouldn't mean i have been blocked would it?
what does all this mean?
thanks
mrredrunner100

i got my friend to message this person to see if they had the same problem, and the message went through and i think he got a reply, and all of a sudden this has started to work again (calls only) but apparently none of my messages went through that i have sent since the block activated. and they still havent even though there working again, and "apparently" a message was sent to me at 9pm today and it has never arrived. so imessage and text still isnt working, before i go asking this person about this, is this a genuine block or is there a phone problem?

What does it mean when all I see on the screen is a circle with a slash?
