Login stuck to the launch of gray progress wheel

Two days ago, I stopped my Macbook Pro mid-2012 after a few applications have frozen. I was not running at the time, only Itunes, Firefox and Adobe Illustrator. Things, I normally open and rarely have problems with. Unfortunately the spinning beachball appeared everywhere that I clicked and I had to force quit by holding the power button. Now I turn on my Macbook Pro and all is well until I start to connect to my account. I get my password, accepts it and then it just stays there with this gray progress wheel rotation.

I left for a few hours, that and nothing happens. I can still pass the pointer with the trackpad without getting a beachball and the rest progress wheel turns so I think its frozen upward or anything like that. I think under its weight is trying to reopen these last applications I had upward and its all just not like it for some reason any. Strange because I've never had a problem with the reopening of the elements after the connection after a stop down front.

Fortunately, I have another account of user still on there and it works absolutely perfect. This makes me doubt that there's any major problems with my Macbook for now. A few months ago, I installed a 1 TB SSD and its been running smooth with El Capitan.

If worse comes to worse I have a time machine backup of whatever it is I can do a factory reset and just restore the backup. Would rather not do however if theres a simple solution. I tried to see if I can change the connection parameters and startup items to my account from other accounts system preferences, but it only allows to do this for the user you are logged in as. I tried to boot into Safe Mode and Recovery Mode and just get the same result. I erased the NVRAM. Logging in via the Panel of users to switch to the other account is not do the trick either. I feel like I am running out of options, so any help here would be great before I just reset the entire Macbook.

Here's a picture of him stuck on the loading screen connection to give you an idea of the problem:

Please read this message before doing anything.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

Test in safe mode. Same problem?

After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • Brand-new Satellite L300 stuck on the login screen

    Hi all
    I'm new and a little bit of a technophobe - hope you can help.

    We have bought a new laptop a few weeks ago and set it all. Seemed easy enough - is installed after turning on, logged in with the password network and we were away.

    We have 2 connections A and B put in place in this regard. My partner turned on and it came with the connection form A and B with 2 icons - he went to a click sound and he did not. No mouse is attached, we use the keyboard mouse. Tried rebooting with the button, but it's the same thing. I tried again and it has gone through a process and offered safe mode and normal mode, I tried separately on both and she returned to the login screen and click has failed.

    It is now stuck on the battery mode, because we can't get past this screen and it to run properly. Any suggestions?

    Thank you very much.

  • 421SO HP G61: stuck at the blue login screen

    Hello.

    I have a problem with my laptop, a model of 421SO G61, and the question is showed in a Youtube video.

    Link: https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Y7FIDt9SonQ

    The problem occurred after that I left my cousin played the Sims 4. She said that after she closed the Sims 4, a window appears and it has clicked away and stop the laptop. The next day I started it and it got stuck on the screen that is shown in the video. She unfortunately can't remember what has shown the window pop up.

    I tried to reset hard, leaving the rest of the laptop computer for 24 hours to reset the BIOS settings and to test (who first succeeded and only shows not all errors) and leave it on for 1 hour + to try to let it load.

    I have a theory that the hard drive is ruin or the operating system does not sort properly load.

    As I can't access the hard drive and the data in it, how this issue can be fixed without losing all the data important and meaningful; for example images?

    Thank you!

  • SplashScreen iPad progresses slightly on the launch

    Just spoted that with the new application iPad (v30) we have strange behavior of splashscreen. It appears on the launch and while before disappearing, it moves slightly down. It is possible to see on the linked video.

    http://DL.Optio.cz/IMG_2134.mov

    It is interesting, that this occurs just at the time when she landed in the library, when it is open and Viewer load folio, the splash screen will not move.

    In any case, never seen this with any previous drive, so looks like some sort of error for me.

  • iMac 8.1 stuck on the apple logo

    Model: iMac8, 1

    2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    At 2BG memory when the problem started

    Mountain Lion 10.8.5

    Is in trouble with occasional frosts. Would be closed and it should restart very well. About 2 weeks ago, the computer froze. I shut down the computer and restarted. The apple logo came with the spinning wheel, and then just the apple logo.

    I can start safe mode. Tried resetting the PRAM, reset of SCM. Tried to start with all peripherals except keyboard and mouse disconnected. Use the command R to start the computer and went into the disc utilities. Disc checked and it said disc looks OK. Verified permissions. Mistakes came for iTunes more a warning which was not repairable. Fixed permissions. None of these permits to start properly.

    Parle talked anyone computer repair who suggested to unplug the computer, hold the power button while up to one minute, plug the computer back in and pressing the Start button. It came in fine. A few days letter that the computer froze and I had to stop it. You press the Start button, got the spinning wheel, so only the apple logo and apple logo. Start the computer by pressing command + R and reinstalled Mountain Lion. Installation once it stuck at the apple logo again. Active disk. Drive seems to be OK. Permission verified. Permission with iTunes but issues no warning this time. Repaired permissions. Nada.

    Inserted the installation disk, turned on the computer while holding D key. A ran Apple Hardware tools (tests of short or long). This error message came up twice with different numbers of rpm: 4MOT/1/40000003: drive HARD-110. I know that it's the hard drive fan. Computer repair man came out. Thought problem may be because I only had 2 GB of memory and ran only to open the Lion of mountain with several programs. Upgrade to 4 GB memory, which is recognized by the computer. But the computer still does not start correctly. Tried the Single Mode and run/sbin/fsck - fy. Said it seemed OK, but changed the volume. Ran he says once again and everything seemed OK. Still will not start.

    When I start in the disc, part of the grey background Utilities is missing. If you move the cursor on the screen, the gray background fills.

    Also, when I try from normally I get startup chime, the apple logo and the spinning wheel. After that make a spin the wheel stops, there is sort of a Flash, then the wheel goes and remains the apple logo. I can hear the computer tries to do something, then the arrow cursor appears and can be moved around the screen. It's like that.

    Also installed Mountain Lion on a USB key, it made the startup disk and tried to start the computer normally. Still will not start.

    Any ideas or suggestions for what could be wrong or other things to try?

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, anyone familiar with the code can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site several times over a period of years. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy text from a particular web page (not this one) to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name ("Terminal") in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    10. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appear - again, usually within a few minutes. If you don't see this message in about 30 minutes, the test probably won't be completed within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something.

    In order to get results, the test should be allowed to perform or be stopped manually as shown above. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved.

    11. when the test is completed, or if you manually stopped, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    12. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    13. When you are finished with the test, it is gone. There is nothing to uninstall or clean.

    14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but all that you can not be. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

    15. the related UNIX shell script is a notice of copyright. ASC readers can copy for their personal use. The whole nor any part can be redistributed.

    Hi Timmsey,

    The issue may be caused if you have changed the hardware and software of the computer settings.

    Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc.) except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then download software updated driver for the device.

    Hello

    * My Satellite P200-1EE is stuck on the progress bar Windows Vista since yesterday morning * and I'm unable to contact my office.

    I tried several solutions using the F8 key at startup.

    1 / safe mode

    2 / startup repair. "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically.

    3 / the system restore. "No restore point.

    4 / windows complete PC Restore. "No restore point.

    So I am only left with the options of 'Restore the full Windows operating system' and the 'command prompt '.

    But I'm not too sure of the latter option. That's where I need your advice.

    * If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? * I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

    Obviously, * I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff D or E.*
    Could you advise me on the best option?

    Thank you

    > If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

    Depends on the disc that you would use if you want to use the Toshiba recovery disc, then the whole HARD disk would be formatted, including all partitions on the HARD drive.
    If you want to use the disk in Microsoft Windows Vista, you can choose which partition has been formatted and where the Vista must be installed.

    > Clearly, I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff on D or E.
    > Could you advise me on the best option?

    If you n t want to lose the data stored on the D partition and if you don t have a disc of Microsoft Vista, install the OS of Visa then I would recommend, remove the laptop HARD drive. Then plug the 2.5 SATA HDD with a USB-SATA controller then this HARD drive to another computer.
    Usually, you should be able to access the D partition and would be able to move all the data to another computer.
