After using update, my g3 wont boot=(

I was using my g3 and everything was fine. I decided to try the update software feature. Half way through the download it said error, and gave me the option to restart. After restarting all i get is a black screen that says this

Please help with this issue, thanks.

First of you need to be posting
in the iMac G3 forums. This is the new iMac Intel
Core Duo forums and some folks here have never seen a
G3 or OS9!
You don't say what your were updating, Mac apps, the
OS, what?
If you are trying to update to OSX you need the
firmware update found below installed first.
iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9: Information and
Download
I think the G3 folks can assist you better. The forum
is here;

Im very sorry about posting in the wrong area...... Thank you for the direction=)

After using Apple Compressor It wont free up my ram

I noticed that after I use Compressor my Ram wont free up. I have 8 Gig of Ram and after using Compressor it just stays between 486 mb or 300 mb. I can only get my ram back after a reboot. What's up with that?

So i gave it a try and got this in the Terminal window after using Compressor and closing it.
failed to initialize CHUD.framework
I have no clue why or what the CHUD.framework has to do with purging the RAM.

Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG9E) - After BIOS update Windows doesn't boot

Reboot went fine after BIOS upgrade and Windows XP logo appears loads for few seconds then beep and reboot - last known good or start Windows normally same effect.
Rebooting back to start again - this is a brand new laptop - using BIOS from Toshibas official download site.
Pretty annoyed as trying to figure out how to refresh or downgrade BIOS.
Have taken battery and RAM out to see if I can clear it?
Any ideas anyone?

Hi
Hmm this is very strange usually if something would went wrong during the BIOS update procedure then your notebook would not boot up.
It would be dead.
But in your case the notebook boots up but just the OS does not start properly
Maybe you should try to reinstall the OS again?
I see you are using the Win XP I think the Vista was preinstalled. Am I right?
Hmm. in my opinion you should try to boot from the Toshiba recovery disk and should try to reinstall the OS in order to check if this issue could be solved.

E540 After BIOS update the computer wont start

Hi!
After I did an BIOS update from windows the computer wont start. Only the green FN key and the red "i" in the word ThinkPad lights up!
I can't access BIOS.
Tried tho remove the small CMOS battery for an minute

If these long boot symptoms, following the BIOS update occur, multiple customers have reported success in resolving them by disabling Intel AMT and setting the security chip, TPM, as active in the BIOS.
Steps to disable Intel AMT and enable TPM settings as below.
Boot into BIOS
Select Config
Select Intel AMT
Press Enter key on Intel AMT Control and select Disable
Press ESC twice
Select Security
Select Security chip and select Enable
Press F10 and click Yes.

[SOLVED] After pacman update, system no longer boots

Updated pacman packages, and half-way through the upgrade proces fails (it mentions not being able to find package-control). Upon investigating, I notice no programs are working. I ls /usr/bin and it is empty! In a panic, I restart the machine, and it no longer boots up.
My boot is on sda3 and /root is sda5.
When bash starts up, it loads the kernel fine, and then after a second it panics and exclaims: "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg".
I load up my trusty Arch livecd and fsck the partitions. Fsck claims both partitions are clean. I am able to mount them and examine the file structure: all files look like they are there. I then try to chroot the mounted partition (sda5, my /root), and get the error that "/bin/bash" is not found, even though it is there in the correct directory. Not sure what to do now.
My grub entry, which has always worked fine prior to this:
legacy_kernel '/linux344-ck' 'acpi_osi=Linux' 'root=/dev/sda5' 'rootfstype=ext4' 'init=/sbin/init' 'pcie_aspm=force' 'acpi_backlight=vendor' 'i915.i915_enable_rc6=1' 'i915.i915_enable_fbc=1' 'i915.lvds_downclock=1' 'ipv6.disable=1' 'i915.semaphores=1' 'modprobe.blacklist=bluetooth,uvcvideo' 'ro'
legacy_initrd '/initramfs-linux-fallback.img' '/initramfs-linux-fallback.img'
UPDATE: solved issue. I didn't read the news. Upgrading via pacman broke my system because of this. Now I know! System is running smooth again.

Huh. I guess the problem was a couple of stale and crusty {,f}getty .service files, and an obsolete slim.service file I created a while back.
Removing them fixed my problem, although tty1 still shows boot messages (not a problem, and may not even be "new" behaviour)

After new update my videos wont play and all my ph...

Hi All,
Pretty please could someone help me. I have only just updated my software, but all of my photos (phone and sd card) appear to be blank. And my videos wont play. Something like Videos cannot be played at this time'? I've noticed my WiFi and phone signal is awful now too.
Can anyone please help me retrieve my lost data?
Many thanks, Dee

Congrats on your first post, fed_upp. BTW, may we know the phone model you are using? When you say new update, are you referring to the Lumia Cyan or WP7.8 update? Have you already tried switching off/on your phone and re-inserting your memory card to check if there's any difference? About the phone's signal, are you able to see any changes when moving the phone in one place to another? For the Wi-Fi signal, are you unable to connect to any available Wi-Fi network?
We'll wait for your response so we can help you further.

After BIOS update I can't boot in EUFI anymore

Hello everyone, I recently replaced my HDD for a SSD and installed Windows 8.1. Then I wanted to install the drivers because some features did not work. So I went to this:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-z-series-laptops/ideapad-z580 and started at the top. I installed the 64 bits BIOS update for Windows 7 and 8. I followed the instructions... At first I installed 5fcn95ww_public 64bit.exe. The laptop restarted and after that I was not able to boot my laptop anymore . I coulnd even boot from a USB to reinstall windwos (I thought this might help but this BIOS problem has noting to do with windows)
I am able to go in to the BIOS and change settings... I tried to reset the BIOS but it did not help. Then I changed the boot mode in "legancy support". Now it is able to boot from my SSD. But I want it to boot from in UEFI mode.
Please help me. I think I just destroyed my laptop. (I'm sorry for my bad English)

Hi mezian, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
That's not right . I suggest you return the laptop and exchange, or call support to get it repaired.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Pbms w T400 after bios update: long time to boot, TPM&internet connect pbms

Hello,
I have a T400 thinkpad, type 7417 that I bought in the US in Nov 2008 (it was downgraded from vista to xp). In November 2011 the computer was running slow so I decided to clean it up a bit and then do the maintenance recommended by the thinkvantage program. I proceeded to do all the smaller updates and the last one that was recommended was updating the BIOS (from what I understood). I left the computer doing these updates overnight, making sure it was plugged into a power source as specified by the update.
The next morning I found that my computer took 5-10minutes to start up and when it did, the screen resolution was altered as if it was in safe mode or something…I removed the HD and saved my data, then tried to use the Rescue and Recovery program to revert to factory settings. Although it seems that the factory settings were indeed restored I still have many problems with the computer. 1. it takes 5-10min to start (blank screen pre-windows logo) 2. it gives me 2 error messages once it has booted: 2a. "Tvttcsd application has encountered a pbm and needs to close." 2b. "There was a pbm connecting to the tpm (security devie) on this computer. It is possible that anti-virus or firewall software is blocking the connection. A missing or disabled driver could also cause this problem. Please refer to the online documentation for more information." 3. it cannot connect to the internet (either wifi or ethernet) 4. Ad-aware tells me it detects a malicious program running but cannot seem to clear it. I have seen several threads about these problems but cannot figure out if they are all connected or not. Before touching anything I was hoping for some help on how to proceed - I am no expert but I can follow instructions I am currently running avast on the computer to hopefully get rid of whatever viruses there may be and see if that can solve the problem. All help is really really welcome please!!!! lore
Solved!

When I try to look into the Windows firewall I get the following error message:
"Cannot start Windows firewall/internet connection sharing service."
Not sure if both of these are related or not. Any ideas? Would re-installing windows help?
Thanks so much for your help! lore
Did you "optimize" your computer with "Tuneup utilities"? This might cause problems like that.
Also check, whether the services "Windows Firewall" is set to start "Automatic" and running.
Third party desktop-firewall like Zonealarm, Kaspersky or Symantec Internet Security also can cause that problem. In that case remove it including all policies, test the connection and re-install it. Activate training-mode and disallow automatic blocking unknown outgoing connections.

Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - After BIOS update it doesn't boot again

Hello there..
Please help me to overcome this issue.
I have downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework related error so I thought upgrading BIOS may help to solve it. I have download a new BIOS which is exe file 2.10, its installed successfully and then shut down but never booted again. I have tried to boot it many time. I have tried all the keys. I can only see one power led and two battery light.
I dont know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also not working. I'm stuck.Ii had a bunch of emails to reply I'm lost now.
Please help me someone.

Hi dhaval2000in,
Unfortunately I think the case is clear: Something went wrong due BIOS update and now your notebook cant start anymore :(
The Toshiba recovery disk will not help you because it doesnt contain any BIOS reflashing programs it contains only a recover image of Windows with all drivers and tools.
In my opinion you have to contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of this because the guys have to reflash the ROM module.
Im sure you can clarify this problem with the technicians and then you can use your notebook again :)

[SOLVED] After Arch install, non-root wont boot into Gnome

First off I searched for around an hour but couldn't find an answer to this so somewhat gave up.
Coming from Ubuntu and very dissatisfied with performance I am very excited for Arch.
I followed the newb guide to a T, everything went smooth as butter.
after the guide was finished I installed Gnome3
pacman -S gnome gnome-shell gnome-extra
Went perfect. I try and login to the user I created while going thru the guide and instantly boot into the basic X environment?
So I thought perhaps I should try adduser after I installed Gnome3 and now when logging into that new user, the screen goes black for 2sec then
greets me with this message (still in command):

(II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.

Any ideas as to what's going on?

IPod won't charge and isn't recognised by PC after using Updater

Hi, I've had various problems with my 60GB iPod colour since I bought it last summer.
Up until now all my issues have been solved on this forum, however I can't find any answers on this one.
So, here goes:
my iPod hasn't been charging from my adapter for some time now. There's nothing wrong with the adapter as my wife also has an iPod and both chargers (hers & mine) work fine on hers.
My iPod did charge through my usb 2.0 cable so I was quite happy.
However, I updated my iPod software using the iPod updater but now my iPod is stuck with the adapter - wall socket picture on it.
My laptop doesn't recognise it & re-setting doesn't work.
Can anyone help?

yes my colleague had a similar problem. If this is the updater dated 5/1/06 DO NOT USE IT. It is full of bugs and never should been made available IMO. Grab yourself the previous updater. 12/10/05 and restore the ipod. It should be ok then. Needless to say you will lose all the tunes so should check they are in your itunes library

After software update, iMac has trouble booting

I have a 17" white intel iMac (bought november '06).
I recently had to archive and install (long story)
Everything works except after every software update that requires a restart, my mac doesn't restart right. I hear the startup noise a few times, getting softer every time until it is not audible. The iMac stays on the gray screen until I hold the power button down and manually restarted it.
I tried resetting PRAM a few times, but it didn't help.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Are you sure you really had a problem? After a system update, it's normal for the imac to stay on the gray screen for a couple of minutes, then even reboot sometimes. If you've interrupted the process, you probably do have trouble now. I'd download the combo update from the downloads section of this site, run that, and give it time to restart itself.
If you mean it was stuck for like half an hour or something, that's not normal.

New 2011 Imac out of box, updated software now wont boot up? Ive had this machine for 24 hours!

Brand new out of box Imac 27" Booted up ok. Downloaded/updated software and prompted restart and now no screen? Makes the boot up noise but screen remains black? Any ideas or others with similar problem? Very dissapointed in product considering Im replacing my older Imac of 3.5yrs (out of warranty) with faulty hard drive.

Unplug it. Wait 2 minutes (don't rush it). Plug it back in. Power it up. Have patience during the first startup.
If the computer hasn't booted to the desktop (or the login screen if you have auto login disabled) within 5 minutes, considering that it's brand-new-out-of-the-box, call Apple and schedule a repair appointment at your nearest Apple Store.
I know it's annoying that you might have a lemon, but it does happen - don't give up on Mac because you got the one bad Apple.

After software update, iMac hangs on boot and restarts over and over again

I verified and fixed the permissions and disk with no issues.
By default, my iMac enters into an old Windows Bootcamp partition I no longer have so whenever I restart my computer I have to hold down option to boot into the Mac OS.
All this trouble for a lousy Quicktime update.
Any help much appreciated.
- Jeff

Have you done a SMC and PRAM reset? Give those a try, they're simple to do and could fix your problem. Here is how:
1. Turn off your iMac and unplug everything from it for 30 seconds.
2. Plug in the power cord, keyboard and mouse only.
3. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Option, Command, P & R keys until you hear the second gong then release the keys. Your machine will start up normally, then check for the issues you are having.

After using migration assistant, Acrobat wont launch on MacOs 10.6.7

Used migration assistant on a new Mini-Mac to bring all the programs/files/settings over. It seems everything came over pretty smooth. The Mini Mac is running OS 10.6.7. I have 3 versions of Acrobat Pro installed and none of them will launch now. When I try to launch Acrobat a dialog comes up saying that "Acrobat quit unexpectedly". Any ideas/suggestions?

As you've discovered some applications don't launch correctly using Migration Assistant. In particular Adobe applications like Acrobat or the Creative Suite should generally be newly installed from their install disks.
It's probably because Adobe applications spread their resources between many different files in many different places. They also are serialized (so they won't be stolen) requiring secret serialization files to be installed. Some of that probably isn't being copied in a way that will make it work after migration assistant.
