White Macbook has delayed start with a blue screen and will not wake when it goes to sleep

I have a late 2006 MacBook that I recently bought used. When I got it I was experiencing very long boot times. It would have the apple logo then go into a blue screen for about 5 minutes before loading to the OS. Nothing I did fixed the issue. I was told it was not a hdd or ram issue, but maybe a logic board issue. I then purchased a new hdd since that was the concensus online. After installing it I got the it to load right away when it booted from the install disc. However, after the OS was installed, it gave me the same problem. Also, when trying to update to Lion it would freeze on the apple logo with the spinning dots. I did not try to install Lion on the new hdd as I wanted to use the machine and it was working with minor inconviences. I then read about resetting the system by taking off battery, holding power for ten seconds, then replacing battery and restarting. This actually fixed the problem. I was able to install Lion and everything was working perfectly. I then replaced the topcase becuase the one on the computer was scratched and dirty. After I did that I was unable to load anything. It would not go into lion or anything else. I fiddled with the command lines and nothing. I had someone else who spoke unix fiddle with it and I was finally able to get it to boot from the install disc. After doing a clean install, from erasing and creating a new partition, I am back to square one with a long boot time and not waking from sleep. This time the battery trick is not working. I have done the PRAM reset and disc repair and permission repair. All to no avail. I know that it has the capacity to work because it did. Please help me, I really want this to work. Thanks.

It seems thst the MBP is not recognizing the internal HDD. Look at this link and probably the section 'Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility' will be applicable:

Ciao.

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

PopcornTime starts with a black screen and does not load

I installed PopcornTime from the AUR and it does not seem to load. When I launch the application, it simply loads a black screen and does not move from there. When I launch the application from the terminal, I get this output.

It seems as though quite a few files are missing, though the yaourt built the application just fine.

I had the same issue with the git version. Install the stable version and it should work fine

Problem with l355 s7817 Blue Screens and will not boot up

Hello, I am new to this forum so excuse my forum etiquitte. I have a l355 S7817 for 2 yrs and I have had to do a system restore on this laptop twice. I am a Vista SP2 user that has been getting blue screens recently when trying to boot up. I have gone and cleared cache, temp files, temp internet files and removed new software that was loaded and I am still getting the BSOD. I can come up in safe mode, sometimes with networking but when I go to copy data to my external HDD so I can do a system restore again, I get the BSOD. I have tried to restore from a chk point and still get errors. I need to gather my data off the drive so I can do a restore but I cannot get my data due to it fails in the middle of the copy. Any ideas what could be causing this.
I had no problem with my laptop all last week but come Monday, It started doing this. I get a message in Safe mode saying Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. Windows can check for a online solution to the problem. It finds nothing and in the problem details it says
Problem event name Blue screen
OS version 6.0.6002.2.0768.3
Locale ID 1033
Additional Info on problem
BCCode 19
BCP1 00000020
BCP2 9E384BD0
BCP3 9E384C98
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks

My imac will not boot- it gets stuck on blue screen and will not go any further

Since the last update to Snow Leopard- My computer seems to perform fine, but when I restart the computer or shut it down and then turn it back on- it gets hung. SOmetimes I get the You need to restart screen. But, most times, it goes to the blue screen. The mouse shows up and the dissappears. It shows back up and the dissappears again. Then the system working spiral comes on and off every few seconds. But- it never gets to the sign in screen. ANyone know how to fix? What am I doing wrong?

Does your iMac fail to boot every time or only some of the time? Here are some things to try:
- Boot into "safe mode", which will run the equivalent of Disk Utility's "repair disk" operation.
- Boot from the system install disc that came with that Mac with the "D" key held down to run the diagnostics. Run them several times to see if any hardware problems are reported.
- If you can't identify the problem or fix it any other way, download and install the OS X 10.6.7 "combo" updater.
- If that still doesn't help, try reinstalling OS X 10.6 over the top of what's on the disk.

Macbook pro is stuck on my home screen and will not respond to commands

Hi,
I just upgraded to Lion this week and came home and opened my Macbook pro. It immediately came on, but took a minute or so for the cursor for the mouse to appear. At the top of the screen "Finder" is highlighted. Problem is, no matter what program I click on, the computer will not acknowledge anything. Help!

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

HT1414 my ipod has a solid color on the screen and will not respond at all what do I do?

I was playing a game and the it just went to this screen that is kinda red and will not respond at all. I have tried to connect it to itunes to restore it but it never shows up. Is there another way to reset it? Right now I am just waiting for the battery to die.

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful then do as you are doing, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.

Iphone 4s has vertical lines all across the screen and will not power down unless it is charging. What is the problem here?

My iphone 4s recently stopped turning on. I left it alone on the charger for a few days and now will power on just fine. However I have vertical lines going across the entire screen. I also noticed that it will not power down and stay off unless it is connected to the charger. Is this a hardware problem?

Try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

Blue screen, computer will not boot up

My computer, when powered up gets stuck on a blue screen and will not boot up. I have restarted & held down the shift button for safe mode & it goes to a white screen with a grey apple icon but will not move past this screen. How do I get the computer to boot up?

Sounds like your system is hosed. Try [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. Of course, from the sounds of it, even if you get the drive repaired, it may not fix the problems with your system.
Do you have backups? If not, your only priority at the moment should be to figure out how to back up your data, or what data may still be intact if your drive is badly damaged. If you have another Mac, the easiest way to do this will be to boot the machine into [FireWire target mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661] and copy whatever data you can.

MacBook starts with a blue screen

So a couple weeks ago my Mac starting to only start up with a blue screen and nothing else. I can boot into the install DVD; however, it doesn't give me the option to reinstall only to restore. Well I don't have a time machine backup. So yeah I can't do a restore. I went to disk utility and and repaired permissions and repaired disk and still nothing. I've tried the PRAM, safe boot, command + V...none of which works.
The only way to get my computer to a bootable state is if I hold down the OPTION key and select Windows. So yeah I can work in bootcamp but yep that's it.
Thoughts?
This MacBook Pro is running 10.6.3 the DVD in the drive is 10.6.3.

You should be able to run that installer without erasing anything. I cloned a system the other day and it wouldn't boot. All I did was run the installer right over the top and it worked fine. Never deleted any files either.

How to start MacAir with frozen blue screen and no light on keyboard?

How do I start my MacAir with frozen blue screen and no light on keyboard?

Hey 7manya,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing an issue with your MacBook Air frozen on a blue screen. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
OS X Mavericks: If you see a blue screen at startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14061
If you see a blank blue screen or a blue screen with a colored pinwheel when you try to start your Mac, but starting up doesn’t progress, you may have a problem with damaged or incompatible startup items or software.
- If you are starting up from a DVD, it must be a disc that came with your Mac or OS X retail package. Discs from other Mac models may not work with your Mac.
- Restart your Mac in safe mode. If the Mac successfully starts up in safe mode, choose Apple menu > Restart to see whether the Mac will restart normally.
Start up in safe mode
- If you see the login window prompting you for a user name and password, but starting up doesn't progress, you may have incompatible login items.
If you think you have incompatible login items
- Repair your startup disk or disk permissions using Disk Utility.
Repair a disk
- Back up your disk, then reinstall OS X.
Reinstall OS X
Thanks,
Matt M.

jayanta.ray,
which model MacBook Pro do you have (did you buy it new?), and which version of OS X is installed on it?

While playing my albums in iTunes it has just started playing the first song but will not progress through the other songs on the album. Did I accidentally change setting or are other people having the same trouble? thanks

Hi there Sing Me A Song,
You may have changed the Up Next list in iTunes. Take a look at the article below for more information on the Up Next lists and how to edit it.

My ipod 4g has a frozen white screen and will not turn off, any advice?

My daughter's ipod 4th gen (only 4 months old, bought direct from Apple) suddenly has a frozen white screen and will not turn off. We cannot reboot it by pushing and holding the two buttons, even when held up to one full minute. When we plug it into the computer, the computer does not recognise it nor does iTunes, so we can't even do a full system restore. Help! Any suggestions of how we can reset to factory settings without using iTunes please?

- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try :
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
