You may have a software conflict. Start your computer and immediately press the "shift" key. Hold it until your computer starts. If this works, something you recently installed is interfering with the start-up process. But if the computer still will not start, try this:

Insert the original system CD and restart computer, pressing the "c" key until it starts. This will force it to start using the operating system on the disc.
Once it has started:
1.Open the Applications" folder.
2. Open the "Utilities" folder.
3. Launch Disk Utility
4. Select "First Aid" from the bar in the upper middle of the window. Your selections should include: First Aid, Erase, RAID and Restore.
5. Select "Verify Disk" from the screen that appears. Make certain you select the computer's internal hard drive in the menu on the left of the Disk Utility screen. The software will examine your hard drive and correct any errors. This may take some time.

Cant get to login ...just keeps going back to the apple screen where your first turn it on acts like its going to go but just goes back

This is called a boot loop.Try booting from the Mac OS X install disc. make sure you are plugin into the wall with the power adapter. insert the disc. press the power button while holding down the "C" on the keyboard
If it boots up normally you will have to reinstall the operating system
If it doesn't, you have a hardware issue. It could be the power adapter itself or power on the logic board.

My iphone 3gs screen went white. looked up solutions online and it said to push the sleep/wake button and the home button for at least 10 sec. i did, however the red slide bar NEVER shows up??? so i cant...

Hold the power button for 3 seconds and without releasing the power button, push and hold the home button and continue holding both buttons until you see the apple logo, once the phone goes off, if it doesn't come back on by it's self, then just power it on as you normally would.

Macbook screen goes black after I log in.

Since the screen does turn on at the login page, I would say that it doesn't seem as though anything is physically wrong with your computer. It sounds to me like it's a software issue. Either get someone to try and reinstall your video drivers or to back-up your documents, files, etc., format the hard drive, and reinstall a fresh copy of Mac OS.

How do I remove a red screen on my iPhone?

Before this happened did you enter your passcode in wrong a couple times?
If that was the case, hook up the phone to the same computer that you used with this phone and perform another sync. This will back up your personal information, unfortunately not your movies.
Once you have done this, make sure you have the latest itunes download.
Next, connect your iphone to your computer and select your iphone under Devices.
Select the Summary tab, then
Select the Restore option.
If you haven't backed up your iphone, Select Backup.
When that is finished,
Select the Restore option.
After it is restored, keep it connected to iTunes.
Keep it connected until the Connect to iTunes screen goes away OR you see 'iPhone is Activated.
Next you will see a screen to choose either the 'Set up as a new iPhone or Restore from the Backup.
Choose your last backup, then select Continue.
Your iPhone should be back to normal.
If that doesn't work, follow this link and follow the onscreen directions.

If this doesn' work, you will want to use the Apple Online Support. You need to have an Apple ID that you use to login. Follow this link and they will help you out.

I turn on my puter it goes to the user login and then logs off

Hi,

I've run into this problem too often lately. So far I haven't managed to find a decent fix for it :( I've ended up having to backup the computer's data, reinstall windows, and restore all the data.

From the times I've seen it you get to the login screen, click on your user, get the "Loading personal Settings", a quick flash of the desktop, then back to the login screen saying "saving personal settings". It would do this in both safe mode and normal mode, so I was never able to try turning off startup software or services.

Booting to the windows XP disc and running a check disc might help, but from my experience with the problem you will probably need to reinstall windows. Hopefully someone else has a better idea.

Best of luck :)
