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,
nicheda
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.

Your system may have done something after the update. It was just after the installation?
-J' noticed when I did a check of the complete material on my system that time was incorrect (quoted in 30 minutes - took 90 minutes) and that most of the time the activity bar wasn't moving - then gave the impression he was frozen.
Have your support I have tried calling Apple or set up a call from them - their updates are not transparent to the users - and what I've read here seem to require an IT professional to deal with.

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
How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."
-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
S ' there is still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar is in order.

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.
The Apple logo with the bar of progression after the update or restore iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
If this does not resolve the problem, try to go through the troubleshooting steps in the articles below.

Slow to start, the spinning wheel of death and typing delayed.
Hello! Lately my MBPR 15 inch, early 2013, responds slowly. I currently have El Capitan 10.11.3 installed. The start-up took longer when I had installed Yosemite. After I login, Finder become spinning wheel for at least 10 seconds while it is slow to respond and asks to load time has increased. Randomly when I type, as I am now typing, he rowed for a short period of time, then becomes the spinning wheel.

Hello!
I also had this problem on my iPad 2 Air. This is a bug Apple don't want trouble. It was introduced with iOS 9, I hate the time when I clicked on the button "update".
To resolve this problem you must:
- Press and hold the power button on the right side (iPhone 6 or later version) or high (all other iPhones, iPods and iPads) for 3 seconds.
- Drag the slider to slide to turn off right confirmation.
- Press and hold down the Home button on the front of your iPhone, iPod touch or iPhone.
- Plug in your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to your Mac or Windows PC and make sure that iTunes is running.
- Release the Home button when you see the connect to iTunes screen.
Then, connect your iPad to iTunes and restore. Unfortunately, you will lose all your info.

How to stop the spinning wheel?

How can I leave it?
Thank you...

-
Whenever I run the application LR CC, it crashes. The spinning wheel of death appears and I have to force quit. What is going on?
Kristina,
I wonder if you can encounter the same problem I am. The same thing happens to me, however, rather than force quit Lightroom, I let stand for about 5 minutes and then everything seems to work. Are you using 2015.4? If so, you could try to roll back to 2015.3, which is what I've done Adobe sinus support could not solve my problem. You can also try to create another user account and open Lightroom. The problem is gone then, and this is the point at which Adobe support said it was an OS X problem and not a problem of Adobe.

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.
