When I turn my mac on it just stays at the white start up page and doesn´t load. What do I do?
my sister entered her Ipod into our Mac (to charge it) before she turned our computer on and when she turned it was at the apple start up page. Now it just stays at that page.

If your mac doesn't make it past the spinning gear and apple logo, chances are something is wrong with the operating system. Try to hold the shift key down to start the mac. That should boot into safe mode. Give it time as it will be repairing the hard drive permissions.
If that doesn't work, try booting up off the Install DVD that came with the mac. Insert the disc and hold the c key down while booting. If you can boot to the installer dvd, try to do an archive and install of the operating system.
Umm i dont have a mac but my friends do and sometimes their start pages have frozen. You have probably tried this but if you have not you should shut it down and just try again.
