Cannot start. Reel and the Apple logo just hangs
Thanks for reading.
I have an iMac that is 2005 - according to me. 1 TB, 4Gb, upgraded to Core 2 Duo.
By turning the Mac on the logo Apple appears and the wheel turns - and that's all.
I tried all the boot options like shift, C, T, command-R + P, etc etc and get still everything is the same. (after the sound of ding). I also took the drive and connected to an external caddy and then my Macbook Pro via USB. I can see all the files fine. Only, it does not start within the Mac. I'm afraid I don't remember which version of Mac OS X, it is sorry, but that's all that the last date and maximum was for this computer with core 2 duo.
Is it possible to reinstall the boot sector? (I'm talking about PC jargon, no idea if this corresponds to the iMac)
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
A 2005 iMac can't run Mountain Lion, which is the community in which you posted your question. It could either be a Core 2 Duo because they were not established until 2006. So, please you get made lined up for use. What is your actual hardware and what version of Mac OS X is installed on it. Then we can get to help out you.

iPhone 6 alternating between the black screen and the Apple logo and nothing else
my iPhone 6 alternates between a black screen and the Apple logo, what do I do?
Hi Nathanielfromwa,
If your iPhone 6 alternates between black screens and the Apple logo, this could be a problem that can be fixed by wiping your iPhone to factory settings. If this is the case, save your iPhone first. I've included links if you need help with backing up your iPhone, but also to reset to the factory settings.

iMac froze on Start up on the Apple logo and the spinning wheel.
Hello
Can someone please help. My iMac started freezing when I clicked on any application or attempted to open anything. I turned it off the power and then turn it back on. Now I just get the apple logo with the spinning wheel down on white background. I tried to close again and reboot hold command + s, Ctrl + r, Ctrl + p + r, but nothing can get past the logo and the spinning wheel. I'm running snow leopard top and it worked fine until a couple of days. I can't on the utility disk or anythong at all. I'm not the most intelligent in the computers and it has me really stumped. Any kind soul can help with some info?
KND regards,

Before doing all this, what is your status of backup? You have Time Machine or a clone of your hard drive? If this isn't the case, it may be best to do nothing until you are able to see if you can find a way to save your data if things go from bad to worse.
That said, assuming you are running OSX 10.5.8 (like on your profile) or Snow Leopard (according to the guidelines of this forum), have you tried starting restoring 1 gray disc that came with the Mac or the Snow Leopard installation disc? Insert the startup disk by holding down the c"" key. You may need to push the disc for the CD/DVD drive so that it can swallow the disk when you start if you can't get the Mac to accept the drive in its current state.
If all goes well it will boot from the gray disk, although slowly. Once started go to the Menu utilities > disk utility. Launch disk utility, select Macintosh HD and click on "repair disk". If changes are made click on repair disk again and repeat until you get a clean pass. Once that is done, try to restart normally in the Apple menu.

Windows Store apps does not open and the app Store just hangs
Before going back to my University all my apps worked very well. But when I'm back and rebooted my laptop, they don't work anymore. The apps Store open at all, and when I open the app Store itself, just displays the splash page and returns to the start screen (some have had this problem, too). I tried all the methods suggested here on the forums (convenience store app, refresh my PC (twice), msconfig, wsreset.exe, sfc/scannow, etc), but none of them have worked. I've even updated the operating system does not work today (known as Patch Tuesday) but as always. Did someone solved this problem? Any help is appreciated.
My app Store kept crashing (get out before even showing animation "loading") after I updated to Windows 8. 1. after having tried all of new updates of the Bank reset (returned an error of remote procedure call), I found this fix that worked:
Re-register the app Store by running a command window and typing:PowerShell - ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage - registry DisableDevelopmentMode-$Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xmlI hope this helps others in this situation. -

Last night I tried to turn on my iPod that has not been loaded. I plugged it so that it can start loading. I think the iPod as was the accused, has no need for me to start and should have done by itself. When I pressed the button home to start using it, I noticed it was not on. Then I pressed the power button and then saw he was showing the Apple logo and then it turns off again. I tried pressing the "home" button and the Start button / stop at the same time and the same thing will happen. I also tried connecting to my computer and it did not recognize.
Try the remaining actines of the:
- iOS: do not respond or does not light
-Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test

-If failed and that you cannot completely turn completely the iOS device, leave the battery to drain completely. After loading a hour repeat the foregoing.
-Try a different cable
-Try on another computer

Hi, Slkdogg1.
Please visit Apple support communities.
I understand that you cannot restore your iPod touch, and it looks like it is stuck on the Apple logo with progress bar. I would like to start by going through the steps outlined in the article below.

I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. I left plugged in all night and still no change. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the unit to aMacBookPro. When I do this, iTunes complains that it can not connect because the iPad 'expires '. Now it is disconnected, but I can't turn it off. Even close the lid will not extinguish it. Any ideas?
Try the following. It seems yo may have to let the battery drain is completely:
- iOS: do not respond or does not light
-Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test

iPad does not turn on/just the Apple logo and then turn off again
I have an iPad, 4th generation, 64 GB with WiFi and cell phone, it is only 3 years and suddenly I can't turn on the iPad. When he started to act up it would freeze upwards with no icons or the button "home" in response, still on the screen, that he was freezing. I was able to restart it with the top button and it would work for 10-15 minutes and freeze no icons or the button being sensitive at home. I could do a hard reboot and when I rebooted, it would work again for 5-15 minutes and freeze once more. This was during a week and now it does not restart. When I try to turn on with the button at the top of the Apple logo appears, remains on the screen for about 3-5 minutes (no progress bar) and turns off again with no other screen appearing. I tried to find a solution online without success. Anyone have any suggestions for a fix for the iPad? I would appreciate any ideas that anyone could have.
If the unit starts to turn back on the wide, then it seems that if you have a hardware problem. If the unit is charged and a reset will produce only a short period of service, then it is a hardware error or an error in battery, which would be also considered to be material. You can try to restore the device to factory and test without adding any additional content. If it still fails, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar watching him.

When I woke up yesterday morning after charging my ipad I just couldn't turn my ipad until I plugged in the laptop... worked well
Yet once, I woke up this morning it's the same thing, but now all I see is a dim apple logo and it will turn back not... do not update AFAIK.
Does that mean and what should I do?
Try a forced reboot and see if that fixes it. Hold on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

help me get the apple logo take off. I reset it, tried and failed to reset. I can't put it in dfu mode. I'm stuck and need help pease. I did everything that was mentioned in other posts similar to this issue.
That may mean the iPod has a hardware problem, such as a faulty hard drive or the logic board.
When you do a Reset (press and hold the Menu and Center buttons), going blank at the start before the Apple logo returns the screen to the iPod? Or do you mean that the Apple logo is 'stuck' and it doesn't go away when you try of the reset?
Is the "DFU mode" procedure for disc Mode. Have a look here to confirm that this is what you have tried
