You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
Step by Step to fix your Mac
but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

  • My MacBook Pro, even when connected to the power chord, will turn on for a few seconds then shut back off. Any ideas on what is wrong?

    I Am trying to turn on my MacBook Pro laptop, but when I do, it starts to turn on for a few seconds then shuts off again. It has around 80% charge and even if the power chord is connected it won't turn on. Need some help because I am out of the US right now and there are not a Mac store or anything that I could go to.

    HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

  • While actively using the iPhone 5, Apple logo will randomly appear for a few seconds, then show up at the lock screen

    This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen an iPhone do.  I recently got the iPhone 5 from Verizon, 16GB (if that even matters) running iOS 6.0 respectively.  This has happened 3-5 times since I started using it last Friday when they started to deliver.  When this incident occurs, I'll be using my phone, as in it's unlocked and it's not just sitting.  Then, the Apple logo will appear and if I didn't know any better, I'd think my phone was turning on.  However, it only stays that way for a few seconds until it shows the lock screen, imitaing a startup.  The weird thing is, the startup time is ~30 seconds everytime I turn my device off and turn it back on.  This incident where it'll appear to be just turning on while I'm using the phone will only last for ~5 seconds.  Plus, during the incident, it nevers actually turns off the display or goes completely black.  It'll just snap directly from me using the phone to the Apple logo, then the lock screen after a few seconds.  Also, cellular services are immediately recognized after the incident, when starting up it usually take about 30 seconds.  I can't confirm this or not, but I believe this incident occurs when I press the home button to exit an app.  However, when it happens it strikes me by surprise and I can't confirm or not if this happens only when I'm exiting an app.  Not sure if this is an iPhone 5 specific problem or an iOS 6 problem...I can't really assume it's a bad power connection, since like I said it doesn't imitate a full startup of the phone, it just goes throught the screens (Apple logo -> lock screen.)
    And as a side note, I restart my phone daily.  And as rare of a problem this is, I'm not going to restore or wipe my phone and start fresh.  Just wanted to see if there was anybody else experiencing this problem and to make the problem aware. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    I had this same thing happen to me.  I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen. 

  • Can't listen to any music on my iPhone 5, when I press play it just skips to the next song, does that for a few seconds, then goes back to artist/album/song list. HELP!!

    I just updated my iTunes on my laptop to the newest version. I connected my iPhone five to the laptop, and it asked me something about a restore. I wasn't thinking, confused "restore" with "sync" and I just hit yes.... I know, dumb. Anyways, I logged into iTunes on my laptop, downloaded all my purchased songs through the cloud, did a backup, then disconnected it. When I used my phone again, everything was different. All my backgrounds had changed, my apps were rearranged, I had old apps on my phone that I had previously deleted, etc., all signs pointing to me restoring my phone to a previous version.. None of that bothered me, I knew how to deal with it and just changed everything back to the way I had it before the restore, and everything was fine.
    Until I went to listen to some music on my iPod. I made my album choice, selected a song, and instead if it playing, it was silence. I looked at my phone and it was skipping through the songs without ever playing a single sound. That bar that shows how far through the song you are? It never moved from zero, but my songs were skipping and skipping and skipping, almost like I was hitting the "skip track" button, only faster.
    Should I re-restore my phone? Would that possibly fix it? I've checked, and my iOS and my iTunes and iPod version are all up to date.
    PLEASE HELP ME!! I can't find this topic anywhere in support, and I NEEEEEED my music.

    Hello avenmaven,
    Thank you for all the information you provided, and congratulations on your new laptop! 
    I do not think this has to do with setting up iCloud on your new computer.  You might not have the option to manually manage music checked on your devices.  This box would need to be checked if you are dragging content over to your iPhone or trying to delete by pressing the delete key:

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and sing out and sing back in
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Screen flickers for a few seconds then goes blank

    I have been reading these threads trying to find someone having my problem, but the popular issue seems to be with lines on the screen. Mine just goes completely blank a few seconds after start up. Any words of wisdom?

    Unfortunately, the internal power supply within the AirPort Express has likely failed.
    As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
    Power off the AirPort Expess for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button, and keep holding for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into power
    Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    At this point, if the Express is operational, it will display a slow, blinking amber light.
    If it doesn't....then it is time to replace the AirPort Express.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • Ipod touch 5th generation battery screen with lightning bolt locked cannot charge or restart.  ive tried everything from new cables attempting to shut down but stays at screen for a few seconds then black screen again over and over

    screen locked up and shows the battery with low red and ligtning bolt and cannot hard shut down or reset just stays there for a few seconds then black screen. hooked up to computer and itunes doesnt recognize it or even shows that it is pluged in.  looked and made sure nothing is broken or metal in ligting port or on cable which would prevent it from accepting a charge. ipod is only a month old and seems like a waste of money if its so hard to try to get an explanation of why this is ive been tryning to get an answer from apple for a week now.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute.

    After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute. This has gone on for around 5 months. I've tried disabling add-ons to my Firefox but they don't seem to affect this problem. My version is 17.0.1.
    How do I combat this problem? Many thanks in advance.

    Provide the website name.
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Macbook screen goes black for a few seconds then reappears fine

    The last two days my macbook screen has gone black for a few seconds then reappeared a few seconds later. Its as if it goes to sleep for a few seconds.

I only bought the macbook air two months ago and have been really careful with it so i am confused.
    any help? Please?
    Thanks people.

    Hello @bobbiy58,
    I understand that your HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC is going black for few seconds and coming back. I need to ask has this just started? Like since you connected your X-box? If so have you tried disconnecting the X-box to see if it stops?

  • Nano 6th turns on for a few seconds then screen goes black and nothing. what is wrong with it....

    My 6th gen nano turns on for a few seconds, then screen goes black and nano goes off. what is wrong with it? can any one help me out? do I need new battery? do I need a full repair? or is there something I can do myself to fix it.  Thanks for your help. 

    At the moment I say as I've fixed, momentarily:
    I made a downgrade to 1.0
    The problem, gentlemen, is the upgrade from 1.1 and 1.2
    It is a pity that I lost all the new features offered by the new firmware , just because Apple staff could not think to try this new update, on ipods with some airtime.
    I hope Apple pull out a version 1.3 with the ability to choose the feature detection, and the user can disable it at will.
