Wont boot after Erase Iphone

Hi There,
I have just purchased the new 3GS and i was going to sell my 3G. I pressed the erase Iphone button and the phone shut down 1/4 the way through the process. When i power the Iphone 3G back on it gets to the apple loading screen then powers off.
I have tried plugging back into Itunes to restore, but it doesnt get to the stage so Itunes recognises the phone.
Has anypne got any suggestions in what i can do?

Imac wont boot after this last update

I downloaded an update (automatically through software update). After it installed it told me to wait for computer to restart and then hold power button until the long tone, then it should be done. I did that with no problem.
Ever since then though it wont boot regularly. It wither sits at grey screen forever OR gives me the prohibit sign. The only way to get it to work it to hold that power button until the long tone again.
Any idea whats wrong and how i fix it??
Thanks in advance for any help.

The long tone is an indication that a firmware update is installing. Do you get a progress bar at the bottom of you screen after letting the power button go?
Have you reset the PRAM? (cmdalt+PR when you restart the machine)
Also repair permissions when the machine is up and running.

IPad wont boot after screen replaced

Just replaced the screen on my sons iPad 4 and now it wont boot...
any suggestions please?
Thanks

Who did the replacement? If the screen was replaced due to a drop, there may be some internal damage or loose connection.
Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4474708?tstart=30
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Osx wont boot after installing windows dev preview.

Hi. I recently added boot camp and windows 8 to my 2011 mbp 17". Ever since the install my computer wont boot osx unless i run disk utility and repair my mac partition. Then everything runs fine untill i go into windows again and then go back to osx. Thoughts?

Do i need to make a clone or will my time machine backup work.
TimeMachine drives are not "hold the option key bootable" like a clone and with Lion there is only a "hold Command r" Recovery Partition on the same drive your trying to repair.
So to get a external source to boot Lion, you need to Carbon Copy Cloner Lion to a another new/blank Disk Utility HFS+ Journaled formatted drive. Disconnect your TimeMachine drive before doing anything and don't clone to it or everything will be erased, use another drive.
Once you have Lion cloned, hold option and boot from the Lion clone and test it out.
mcwilliamsc wrote:
I only have one external drive andni dont think a clone will fit.
Only clone to another drive with no data on it, don't clone to a partition, don't clone to a TimeMachine drive. Disconnect all other drives before cloning so you don't make a mistake.
mcwilliamsc wrote:
Also when you say c boot do you mean using a lion install disk as opposed to the install option when you boot into disk utility?
Your signature says you have 10.6.8, obviously there are no install disks for 10.7, however you can make some by "hold option" and clicking on Purchases in the MacAppStore and redownloading the Lion installer (but don't install)
Follow these directions to make multiple "hold c" bootable DVD copies of the Lion installer.
http://eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
Test the disks out, you can see it's just like the 10.6.8 installer disk with Disk Utility and everything.
With a Lion DVD one can install Lion AND the Lion Recvoery Partition on a new or totally erased drive, like we are about to do.
When you clone Lion, it only clones the Lion OS X partition, not the Lion Recovery Partition. So by totally erasing the entire disk and installing Lion from the DVD can the Lion Rececovery Partition and Lion OS X partition be restored and your GPT repaired and your firmware flushed.
So once you got a Lion clone disconnect it, then c boot from the DVD and erase your ENTIRE Lion internal drive, this means you have to select the drive makers name on the left, HFS+ journaled of course.
Once that is competed, install Lion fresh, this will create both the Lion OX partition and the Lion Recovery Partition.
When that is finished, don't bother booting into the fresh Lion install, simply option boot off the Lion clone and reverse clone onto the Lion OS X partition, this will place back Lion, all your programs and files just like before.
Then you should be back to normal, your GTP is fixed, EFI is fixed (reboot twice) and you have everything except the Windows bootcamp partition.

Imac wont boot after long time without restart

Hi
I've got a two month old new Imac 21,5" with fusion drive 1TB, i had it just before mavericks was launched..
i update to mavericks. All was fine, But i allmost never shut down, or restart the imac.
After some time, I did for a reason i dont remember, had to restart the imac. while booting, it was stuck on the grey screen.. i wasn't able to get it started up, not in safe mode, not after disk repair.. i think i might have tried all the little tricks to get it running again...
luckily i did have a time machine back up...
after installing this back up, everything was fine again..
until 2 weeks later, for some reason i had to reboot again.. and again, it was stuck.. only thing to get the imac working again.. reinstall from time machine back up
after this , it tried rebooting everyday, and the imac kept working..
after a few days, i forgot to reboot for a few days.. and what did you think.. the imac is stuk again.. so while reinstalling the time machine back up. I am writing this. anyone else having this rather strange problem.. if i restart the imac now and then i keeps working.. if i dont after a few days, and i do reboot the imac.. is wont boot anymore..
Any suggestions are welcome
greetings

The long tone is an indication that a firmware update is installing. Do you get a progress bar at the bottom of you screen after letting the power button go?

My iphone is stuck on loading circle after erasing iphone from find my iphone

So one night i was just playing on a app and it froze, i waited about 5 mins and it was still frozen, so i turned off my iphone and from their is where all my problems started. After waiting a long time for it to start up again my pressing my home button since my lock button is broke, i decided to look up ways on how to solve my problem. What i found was i had to erase my phone from find my iPhone so i could restore my iphone in itunes. Well, after erasing my iphone,, it just stayed on a black screen with the loading circle in the middle of it. It won't connect to itunes either so i can restore it and i don't know what to do. If you have any advice on what i should do please reply.

is it possible if my phone runs out of batter, i could plug it in and maybe the loading screen will be gone or can i really just do nothing about it

[SOLVED] arch wont boot after triple boot experiment

Hi,
I cannot boot into arch anymore after installing ubuntu to another partition on my hard drive.
I used grub to dual boot arch and windows, but i need to use ROS and there are no working packages for arch so i tried to install ubuntu on another partition and triple boot.
Somhow my arch got broken by the ubuntu setup.
Windows still boots fine.
I already chrooted (to arch) from a live cd and reinstalled grub and did
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
, after that ubuntu appeared in the grub selection menu but arch still wont boot.
Arch boot hangs after checking /dev/sda6 for errors (arch partition), i cannot type or ctrl+shift+fx to another terminal
Anybody has an idea what got broken by ubuntu and how i can repair arch?
thanks!
samy

Hey so i chroot again following this artikle: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root
then i did
pacman -Syyu mkinitcpio linux udev
and restarted
I tried starting arch again and it seemed to still not work, this time i gave it some more time and it actually booted.
It took very long though (more then 3 minutes or so)
in journalctl if found those lines:
Sep 09 04:20:00 meanarchy kernel: USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)
Sep 09 04:21:25 meanarchy systemd[1]: Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-12027d8a\x2dd4b0\x2d4559\x2daa1c\x2de3ea5ca8f5bb.device/start timed out.
Sep 09 04:21:25 meanarchy systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-12027d8a\x2dd4b0\x2d4559\x2daa1c\x2de3ea5ca8f5bb.device.

Sep 09 04:21:25 meanarchy systemd[1]: Starting Swap.
so it seems boot is searching for some disk device 1:25 minutes before it fails.
I think i know the reason: I resized the Partition of arch while installing ubuntu this changes the uuid of the partition, now something is waiting for this disk to become ready because it still has the old uuid written somwhere.
UUIDs really suck, they are not human readable and always have problems with them if i touch my partitions.

If you're going to make those sort of claims, then you should back it up with firm data...
The point is, someone in the forums already did. All the forum regulars should remember when it happened too. A guy chastized us because we ask about the specs on people's power supplies. He took every post in the VGA forum to date and catagorized the solutions and found that only 50% of the problems in the forums were Power Supply Related. To me, if one out of every two problems in the VGA Forums is Power Supply Related, by asking the question, we can identify and solve 50% of the problems.
But we are used to people like yourself coming along every few months. Are you sure you did not used to log into these forums under the username of elzie?
Is this one of your old Threads:
A must read for everyone....
Richard
Yes, he does sound a bit like me doesn't he? (or vice versa). But no, we are two different people which your moderators can prove by looking at the IP addresses of both myself and elzie.
But I must admit he echo's my views. There is a definite danger that some posters who are here to help people will latch on to one supposed "solution" i.e. the PSU which is then tailored to fit all problems. Same goes for avoiding flashing the VGA BIOS especially over the Internet.
But as I've said before, 98% of system problems are software related and hardware only plays a minor role. It's a bit like a car. Without gas, you're not going anywhere regardless of all the technology that's been pumped into it. But gas can get contaminated with grit and can clog up fuel lines. So what should we do then? Change the whole car maybe? Or just replace the carburetor? After all, we don't want to risk damaging the machine by cleaning it do we?
There's just too much emphasis these days on blaming the product as the cause of the problem and replacing parts rather than taking the view that it's the user who has caused the problem himself by not following instructions when installing software. Statistics can be adapted to suit the issue too. But as I've already said, if the PSU was the main cause of failure of high end cards, the Internet would be literally littered with news about it. But there aren't any such articles, so how do you explain that?? And as Toms Hardware.com mentions here, the CPU and high end card can draw 160 watts. So it stands to reason that if you've got a 300W PSU, you've got more than enough over to run both doesn't it??
It's all very convenient to say, "replace the PSU and your troubles will be over", but if the problem persists after doing that, it won't do MSI reputation any good and the only benefit will be that a PSU manufacturer will have made a little extra profit this year.

Intel mac mini wont boot after system restore

Hi,
I ran the system restore on my intel mac mini using the genuine leopard cd that came with it.
Now it wont boot. When you press power the light comes on but it does not chime and there is not video output to any monitor.
Anyone know what could be wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You picked 10.4.1 in your profile.
Intel Mac Minis at minimum came with 10.4.4.
If it came with a 10.5 genuine DVD, it most certainly was not running 10.4.1 or 10.4.4. Perhaps you mistook one Mac Mini install DVD for another? Does your Mac Mini have 4 USB ports on back? What does the 10.5 installer disc you used look like?

Touch screen wont boot after outage

Hello, My Home touch screen will not boot after outage. It was working on backup. Outage lasted 4 hours.Just a black screen, power indicator light is not on while plugged in. thanksJOhn

If you undo the stand and remove the battery cover you can access the battery and remove it (after removing the power). Then put everything back the way your found it and plug in the touchscreen it will be a full power reset. If it still donesn't work you will need a tech to look at it. You might need a small screw driver to get the stand and battery cover off the touch screen.

K9N Diamond - Wont boot after BIOS update

Just attempted to update the BIOS on my PC and it now wont boot. Used LiveUpdate with the Windows flash option (don't have FD drive). The lights on the D-Bracket 2 get as far as LED 2 Green, 1,3,4 Red. I have already tried to Clear CMOS with no joy.
Any suggestions on how to proceed much appreciated - and yes, I already know, I've probably done something stupid
Thanks
Grant.

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 25-March-07, 19:22:15
power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU, push several times power button to drain capacitors, then Clear CMOS and leave only one memory stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket. pull back power cord and try to boot.
in a future do not update the BIOS for no reason....(only becouse its new, only becouse new BIOS maybe got a new logo and e.g...)
Looks like I'm back in business now. I found similar instructions at this location http://www.bosamar.com/K9N/trouble.html and followed the First Procedure.
Booted ok with one mem stick, in bios fail safe mode. I counted 7 short beeps while booting then one long beep. Not sure if this is ok. Read about bios beeps here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82221.0 and the final long beep seems to indicate a pass???. Anyway, Vista appeared to come up ok and I checked everything in the hardware device manager and all looked fine.
Proceed to reboot with all mem sticks back in place, again same beeps but Vista coming up ok.
Next I switched bios to optimized defaults, but now 6 short beeps - no long beep. Windows looks ok. 6 beeps appear to indicate a keyboard problem, but kbd seems to work fine???
System looks ok now, but not sure if i should look into those beeps a bit more? BIOS now at 1.3, should I leave as is or revert to an earlier revision?
One thing I know that I am going to do is to install the FD drive from my old PC
Thanks for all the help.
BTW, the reason I did the BIOS flash was as a last resort to get my sound to work. Tried the various creative driver as suggest elsewhere on this forum but without success (as of yet there is no official vista compatible audio driver for my mb from MSI). The JAUD1 connector looks to be connected as specified in manual (but no audio from either the front nor real panel audio connectors).
