I tried to run the firmware update and then my mac stopped working.. How can I fix this?

We have two brand new mini macs at our office that we are tyring to install updates on. One worked no problem, and we attempted to do the same thing on the second and there are issues. After I attempted to update the firmware my mini mac appears to still be running, light is on and it sounds like it is running, but nothing is starting up. How can I fix this?
Thank-you,

Try (but I do not expect anything)
Press Option during startup
Start up in Startup Manager, where you can select an OS X volume or network volume to start from. 
Next try:
Press Command-R during startup
Start from the OS X Recovery System1
and if successful use the Disk Utility to repair the boot disk

  • My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help.  If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
    The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod.  If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    If you need help with any of these suggestions, detailed help on each topic is available via Apple's Support pages:

  • When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

  • My iphone5 camera keeps freezing and turning black and purple and becomes fuzzy. I tried to reset it a few times but it didn't work. how can i fix this?

    How can i fix my camera that keeps freezinf and turning black or purple? I have already tried reset multiple times and it didnt work.

    Hello there mmon11,
    If by reset you mean this process from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting from here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then alright thats one step down. I would recommend this article as well, specifically sections 1, 3, and 5 which will resolve it if the issue is due to software.
    iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    Here is section 1 to get you started.
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/919962]]</blockquote>
    I have a program called commission killer that I have downloaded and I can't open it because it says compileBot has stopped working. It then tells me to either close the program or have Windows look for a solution and then it closes without any solution. I want to be able to use this program and yet I don't know what to do to correct this. I have deleted it closed the firewall and the security program AVG but that didn't work either when I redownloaded the program. Any suggestions>?

  • The silent/ringer switch and the volume control buttons stopped working, how can I fix this or do I just need to get a new phone?

    One day I relalized that the silent/ringer switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working. My phone is permently silent and I can't turn the ringer on. The speakers still work so they aren't the problem. Also, the volume controls on the side don't work either. Is this problem fixable or do I need to get a new phone?

    you can try the restore first to make sure it is nothing software related. makesure to back up information and restore as new. after that it is hardware if your with in the limited hardware warranty and can be replaced for free if you are not then it can be replaced for 149$ if it is a iphone 4 or lower

    If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4 and my toolbar didn't load, now Firefox won't start automatically saying a script has stopped working. how can I fix this?

    Before Firefox will load I have to stop a script message that appears saying that the script for this page is either busy or stopped working. Once I hit stop Firefox will load as normal but without doing this step it will not load at all. Once it is loaded the toolbar has not been loaded and I am told to reinstall the toolbar but I have not been able to do so.

  • The sound on my macbook air isn't working how can i fix this

    i was on line and i went to watch a video and the sound wasnt working and it still wont work everything is on but its not working out

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Some times simply quitting any and all sound Apps (iTunes, QuickTime, any audio player) restarting often solves the problem.  An SMC reset might also work.
    If the laptop went to sleep with headphones or external speakers plugged into the headphone jack loss of audio on wake can result. In future do not sleep with headphones or speakers attached.

    The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library.  However, you can manage music among disfferent computers.  See:
