it may be important to note that when I put my ear to the box I can still hear the HD spinning (although no lights are lit and it doesn't show in the airport utility). Ideas??
That is very bad.. how old is it??
The Gen4 TC can die this way.. it is not usual but it happens.
Leave it for several hours to cool off. Do a factory reset immediately when you try to restart it.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
Tell me exactly what the LEDs do throughout this process.
Both the main one at the front and the LED on the ethernet ports which should all flash during bootup.
If it is less than a year.. of course Apple will replace under warranty.. 2 years in some places.. Europe .. places with stronger consumer laws. If you have applecare on a computer it should still cover the TC.
I kind of doubt you are going to get this going again... but we can try.

All fixed!!! My Aperture wasn't being recognized because it was in a folder. OK, now I can use my camera with Aperture.

Just did the Mac App Store update and now MBP won't boot?!

I just did the Mac App Store software update that required a restart and on bootup it just hangs at the spinning wheel and I can't get anywhere. I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but that hasn't helped. Any ideas here? I can't believe that update toasted my MBP!
And I tried unplugging all my drives from it as well.

Were you trying to install Mavericks? What do you see when you restart your Mac with the Option key held down? Does it indicate the boot volumes is Mavericks or your previous system? If it's Mavericks boot into the Revovery volume and try reiinstalling from there.

I did the iOS 7 seconds update and now my screen is just a plug and iTunes logo. I don't have a computer anymore just iPad. What do I do

I did the iOS 7 seconds update and now my screen is just a plug and iTunes logo. I don't have a computer anymore just iPad. What do I do

Hello,
My suggestion would be to do the following:
-Press and hold the power button and home button for the time needed until the screen turns black and the apple logo reappears.
If that does not work, call the nearest Apple store and ask for assistance.
Hope this helps,

I've just had a keyboard firmware update and now my volume control buttons wont work

i've just had a keyboard firmware update and now my volume control buttons wont work.
Has anyone else had this problem? if so have they found out how to fix it, or is this an on going issue?

Hi,
Your problem has some similarities to this problem that I reported earlier this month that that still arises every few days. I was thinking that my problem was related to some sort of bug in Entourage, but maybe it's something else...

Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors - Support - Apple
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync. Just sync them back

I did the 8.1.3 update and now I have no Safari shortcut? How do I get it back?

sSafari shortcut is not showing on my IPad since I did iOS 8.1.3 update. I can't find Safari in App Store or my settings to get it back on my screen. How can I get my Safari icon back?

If you can't find it on any of your home screens or via the spotlight search screen then check to see if it's hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off'

the streaming feature of my quicktime program is non-functional, all i get is the
Q? icon. it seamed to correlate to my trashing the newest firmware update.

MacBook 13.3 Black Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Check your streaming options in the QT MIME Settings.
Also, make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software.

New MacPro 10.9.4 included Keynote. Worked fine. An update was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update and now get error message "You can't open the application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Any ideas?

New MacPro 10.9.4 purchased three weeks ago included Keynote. App worked fine. New update for Keynote was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update. Tried to launch app and now get error message "You can’t open the application “Keynote.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Confused as to why it worked prior to update. Nothing else has changed. No issues with recent iMovie, Pages or Numbers updates. Any ideas?

I tested this:
Reinstalled Aperture 3.1 from the Trial Installer.
In some way it seems to be working. But the whole thing is a scary Chimera.
It can create an Aperture library. I can import and edit images, even in Graphic Converter ias an external editor.
But the Media Browser does not show the aperture Library that I created.
The versioning is inconsistent. The library appears as an Aperture 3.4 library in the Finder. Aperture 3.5 seems to be able to read this library and to upgrade it to 3.5
The Applications folder is showing the application as version 3.4 and as compatible. Spotlight is showing it as illegal.
When opening the chimera Aperture, I see plenty of warnings in the Console window:
An Aperture "Hang" report
xpcproxy assertion failed
com.apple.IconServiceAgent: main failed to composite image
quicklookd: Warning
and more ... the hang was critical. I had to force quit Aperture more than once.
So be careful. I would not trust any important Aperture library to this patched application, without testing thoroughly. Be careful with your precious photos.

I made an firmware update, and now the MuVo dont turn

Updated my memory and now my speakers sound awful! What happened?

After I installed more memory, my speakers sound awful. Any ideas as to what happened and/or how to fix it?
MacBook Pro 15" 2.66 (mid 2009)
8gb 1067 MHz DDR3

I solved the issue and thought I would pass it along. It turns out that I updated iTunes shortly before I installed the memory. Some how the equalizer was turned on and the pre-amp was cranked up to max. Not sure why as I never use the equalizer, I have always had it turned off. Maybe the upgrade turned it on for some reason. Once I turned down the pre-amp to 0, my built-in speakers sound just as they should, perfect. Then of course, I just turned it off completely.

I just did the 4.3.3 update and it erased all my calendars

all my calendar actitivies were deleted except my birthdays. i am hoping a restore will bring them back. anyone else experience this. deleted them on my ipad also

Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back. You do have a backup, correct?

Just did the new Windows XP update and Fireworks CS# doesnt recognize the fonts

Can anyone help me out? this affects all my previous work all the old layouts just dont recognize the font that is still installed in the system, however if I rewrite it recognizes the font. Just dont want to rewrite all the text in all my past work which is a lot.
Thank you

I got ITunes and my IPHone talking to each other again. First off my Iphone was linked with the usb cable to my iphone. Also my PC could conect with my phone and transfer files.
This may be too simplistic, but I restarted my PC with the Iphone still conected and turned on. When the startup was complete I opened ITunes. Iphone was still not recognized. Then I unpluged my Iphone and plugged it back in.
The Iphone then became visible and the auto sync started up. All Good.

Just tried to install the recent updates and now Mac won't boot.

Clicked restart and was presented with a screen that said "none of the software updates could be installed, an unexpexected error occured" I clicked OK, was was left wi a blank screen that did nothing. So I powered down, and restarted, now I'm presented with a UnIx screen indicating "unable to find driver for this platform" and a window instructing me to restart.
Restarting in any mode, shift, command, command s, etc will not move me past the Mac OS version not yet set screen.
This is a mess. I installed Lion over the Internet and do not have a startup disk I can use to recover and reinstall to even restore from my Tme Capsule ... Isn't there a way I can install over the Internet?

Holding down Option seemed to get me into recovery mode, where I was able to run disk first aid, to repair the disk and permissions.
It repaired dozens of permissions, and stated the HD was OK, but restored boot drivers.
However, I still cannot startup, getting the exact same message.
At this point should I restore from my Time Capsule, or should I reinstall Lion and then restore from my Time Capsule?
Or is there any other way to recover at this point?
