When turn power on, stuck on original loading screen...

Hey there,
My laptop had frozen, so I held the power button until it turned itself off.
I then turned the power back on. It began to load- I got to the grey screen with the apple logo and loading dial. However, it gets stuck on this screen indefintely. It will not budge from this particular screen! I can turn it off by holding the power button down, and then turn it back on, but the same screen comes up.
I have tried removing the battery, putting it back in and turning the power on, but this doesn't work either.
What shall I do? So far I have left the laptop on for an hour and it did not budge from the loading screen. Should I leave it on longer perhaps?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

    Loading screen is that the Apple Logo?
    Try a hard reset, Press and hold the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple Logo.
    If that doesn't work, force the phone into recovery mode and restore using iTunes:

    - Try resetting the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes
    - If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if it will make it visible so yu can restore the iPod.  For recovery modes see:

    My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
    Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
    The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

    Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

  • So on my MacBook Pro, a friend tried signing into the guest account. It's been stuck on the loading screen for 3 days and hasn't let me cancel the request and login to the original account. What can I do?

    Hold the power button down for 10 seconds.  It will power down your Mac.  You can then start it up again and see if you can log in normally.

    Jailbreaking has its consequences and voids the Apple warranry.  We can't discuss jailbreading on this Apple forum.

    Hi,
    What is your machine and its Operating system ? Do you have wireless network at home ? If yes, have you setup the connection between your laptop and the router yet ?

  • My White Macbook is stuck at the loading screen, and disk utility, safe mode doesn't work either. What should I do?

    I went on vacation a few days ago and in El Salvador, they have this mobile broadband sticks. Well, I was using one until it gave me a network error. After that, it shut down my computer entirely. The first time it happened, I didn't think much of it. I took the battery out and put it back in for it could work. It happened another two times, and after the third time, my MacBook stays stuck at the loading screen, and it will take 5-10 minutes on that screen, before it shuts down, or it wouldn't turn on at all. I've tried booting into safe mode, but it appears to not boot into it. I've tried resetting the Pram, and using disk utility, but that still won't work. I don't know what else to do to make it boot into  OS X  Lion.
    I'm an AP student, and the majority of my work is in that computer, and it is very important! What can I do? Not only that, but I enter school in a few weeks and I need the AP work by the time I enter.
    What can I do? Can someone help?
    Thanks

    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    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. Alterhatively, 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: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Why is my iPod stuck on a loading screen?

    I shut down my iPod and when I turned it back on it got stuck on the loading screen and its been like that for a couple hours and it won't do anything. I've tried plugging it in and pressing the power and home buttons but it just keeps loading. I'm really scared does someone know what to do?

    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 another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My curve 8520 is stuck on the loading screen :(

    Hi,
    I bought my curve 8520 about 5 months ago. And just yesterday when I tried rebooting it, it remains stuck on the boot loading screen. I tried battery pull, alt+shiftl+del, but all that happens is it getting stuck on the loading screen.
    Any advice on what to do, cause I dont wanna format the phone memory as I dont have a backup of my contacts.
    Thanks

    Have you tried the battery removal and key pressing I suggested above?
    The original poster said they didn't want to reload the OS but ultimately, that is the course of action to follow. If you want to do that then
