Airport Disk still broken after latest software update

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244463
I like how the topic above was marked as 'solved' and archived. Another Airport software has come and gone and Airport disks are still broken. Mine let me copy 74GB of data to it, but refuses to show the contents via the USB port. Anyone had any luck with this after the latest software update?

I have had similar issues since upgrading to Snow Leopard. The first time, I took my MacBook to be checked and the tech said it booted up fine under another startup disk. Since it's under warranty, they just reloaded the original system (Leopard) and I needed to rely on a time machine backup. Now, after the latest software update from Apple, I had the same problem, and am restoring from the latest Time Machine backup.
Does anyone know if this is a systemic problem? Any tips on preventing a repeat the next time I need to update my system software?
Thanks.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • After latest Software Update my iMac goes to a prohibition sign on startup

    iMac Info:
    24" Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.66Ghz, 4GB Ram, yadda yadda
    The latest software update notice I received informed me the following new software was available:
    * Performance Update (version 1.0)
    * iMovie Update (version 8.0.5)
    I told it to install the updates, after which the computer had to be restarted. Upon restart the computer seems to be restarting normally, ie: the bell tolls and the Apple symbol shows above the spinning icon. But after what seems like a very long time a "no symbol" aka "prohibition sign" takes the place of the Apple logo, and the spinning icon remains. Nothing else happens. To see the screen I'm referring to check this image:
    http://donnypauling.com/images/prohibitionsign.jpg
    *Here's what I have done so far:*
    * I called expert case support and we tried a few things. The guy I talked to decided that I needed to use my snow leopard disk to use time machine to restore my system to the way it was before the software updates. He figured something must have been corrupted in the software update. I couldn't find my Snow Leopard disk so he emailed me instructions to follow when I finally found it.
    * After finally finding the disk I followed his instructions and restored my system to an October 8th backup.
    * Upon restart all was supposed to be well. That didn't happen. The same problem persists.
    * Support is now closed, so here I am searching these discussion forums. One thread mentioned a similar problem and it was recommended that the person start in safe mode and repair disk permissions. Sure enough, my iMac starts in Safe Mode. I repaired disk permissions. Restarted the iMac. The same problem still exists.
    Now what?

  • Safari won't load after latest software update

    After the latest software update from Apple, Safari won't load. I've deleted the p.list and run OnyX to clean the system. It still won't load. This is a pain as Safari is my default browser and I have to get into Safari to change that. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?
    Thanks!

    Welcome Pauline;
    Actually you can change your default browser from within Mail, just go to Mail preferences and set the default browser to whatever you want. Unless you have cloned your system (before the update)which I heartily recommend,
    you may have to use Pacifist to extract Safari from
    the 10.4 installation package.
    Hope this helps,

  • "The Selected Video could not be played" error after latest software update

    After the latest software update for the Apple TV I've come across an interesting problem that's driving me crazy.
    In a nutshell:
    - I can rent movies and watch them.
    - I can watch video podcasts.
    - I can watch TV shows purchased on iTunes and streamed from my mac
    - I can watch TV shows ripped by myself and streamed from my mac
    - I can watch movie trailers
    - I can watch YouTube videos
    - I can watch a movie purchased on iTunes that has been synched to the Apple TV
    - I can watch a movie ripped by myself that has been synched to the Apple TV
    - I CANNOT watch a movie purchased on iTunes but it's streamed from my mac
    - I CANNOT watch a movie ripped by myself that is streamed from my mac
    Whenever I'm trying to watch a movie streamed from the mac I get the following error message:
    "The selected video could not be played. The format was not recognized"
    These are movies I could watch perfectly well before the software update, and I could perfectly watch them streamed from the mac.
    Any clues as to what could be going on? Any help or hits will be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Julian

    I am having similar problems. Rolling Apple TV back to 2.0 fixes it, but then I deal with the 2.0 bugs.
    Basically, I've tried this three times so far: reset back to 2.0. Resync everything I can(I have about 500gb of video which is stored on a USB drive, but I selectively sync part of my library and all my music).
    I have about 40gb free on the 160gb ATV. Everything plays fine - synched music, synced video, streaming video. My types of video are:
    - iTunes purchased
    - Ripped using handbrake to h.264 standard stuff (plays fine on my iphone and computer)
    - downloaded h.264 "ipod compatible"
    - converted video using iSquint
    After upgrading to 2.0.2, initially everything plays fine. But the MOMENT I sync something new to the ATV, then it all falls to crap.
    - itunes purchases play fine (synced and streamed
    - iSquint converted videos play fine when synced, won't stream "The selected video could not be played" bs)
    - Handbrake rips can play if sync'ed, won't stream
    - downloaded ipod compatible will usually play and sync.
    Doesn't matter if they're movies or tv shows.
    *All of these played fine before the "upgrade" (some upgrade).* After the upgrade, and after the first post-upgrade sync, it falls apart.
    Talking to Apple support about this results in the usual BS. Unplug your ATV. Resync your purchases, We don't support third party software yada yada.
    All I know is, Apple broke something with 2.0.2. Either something to do with a USB drive access, or something to do with one of their stupid new flags in quicktime, or whatever. It needs to be fixed.
    Going back, once again, to 2.0 until this is recognized and fixed by Apple.

  • PDF won't open in iBooks after latest software update

    I have a large pdf file (biology textbook) that I would read on my iPad. It worked flawlessly until the latest software update (4.3.1). Now I can only see the first page and it only shows page 1 of 1, even though it is taking up all 450MB of space. I can't see any other pages and they aren't even shown at the bottom of the screen in iBooks. I tried deleting the file from iTunes and resyncing it. I also tried a full restore of my entire iPad and that didn't work. It was working fine before the software update so I don't know what to do. Thanks

    I just updated to the latest update 4.3.2 and it works fine! Apparently something in the 4.3.1 update caused it to not work.

  • Apple TV audio problems after latest software update

    Updated my AppleTV last night with latest software update. Completly lost sound through my home theater system. Only hear audio on the TV. Anyone else having this problem? Apple TV is sure buggy...about ready to chuck it out the window!

    Check your Dolby Digital settings in audio Settings.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 clamshell mode broken by latest software update?

    After installing the latest MacBook Pro software update and EFI update through Software Update in the evening May 4, I am unable to enter clamshell mode any more. It used to work before. After waking up in the clamshell mode, the machine promptly goes back to sleep. On subsequent attempts to wake up the system, the laptop itself appears to wake up (at least the sleep light stops blinking) but the display does not even wake up. I can still work with external dsisplay with the lid open but this is highly annoying. I have reset the PRAM with no effect. The machine is a 2011 MBP, 15" inch, 2.2 GHz quad i7. Keyboard and mouse are wireless Microsoft desktop but the problem is also present with wired peripherals.
    Does anyone else see this problem after installing the latest patch?

    Okay, I'll add my frustration here as well.
    I've had this problem too, and more noticable since the 1.4 update.
    I posted a thread similar to this here.
    But I'll just copy over what my main problem was...
    Whenever I plug my computer into my Cinema Display (with the computer closed) it won't wake up fully. The status light will come on, any external hard drives will spin up, but the display won't turn on and the computer will go back to sleep.
    I have to restart the computer manually to get it to work normally, and if I disconnect it while it's between the sleep and wake mode and try to open it, the backlight will come on but the screen will remain black, causing me to have to force restart it.
    This is in addition to my first problem with the backlit keyboard not coming on automatically after sleep, which was temporarily fixed by resetting the SMC, but it goes back to the problem after a week or so.
    What could be causing either of these problems? Could it have something to do with BootCamp since I have it installed, or is there a defect?
    I would bring it back to Apple, but there's a small dent in the front right corner, and I'm afraid they would deny any problem I have.
    I took my MacBook Pro (2011, i7 2.2, 17") into the Apple Store on Monday, and after about an hour of attempting to replicate the problem with a different monitor, there was only one time where there was any sort of problem.
    The employee told me to see if there will be a fix, or otherwise they will replace the logic board for me.
    One thing I'd like to add as a note...
    It seems that the problem is more prominent when I have my computer with everything on it as usual. As in, before I took it to the Apple Store I performed a clean install of OS X, and that may be related to how bad the problem is, any opinions?
    I had attempted at reinstalling OS X from a Time Machine Backup, but the problems continued shortly after completetion. In addition to this, I clean installed OS X, and manually reloaded my applications and media, hoping that the problem had stemmed from some kind of broken file system that could be repaired by a new install.
    But no matter how I do it, the problem comes back despite the method. It is really something I want fixed, as I pretty much only use it in clamshell mode when home...

  • 17" iMac (Tiger) won't boot after latest software update

    I downloaded the latest Tiger software update on my 17" Intel Core Duo iMac a couple of days ago and after I hit Restart I can't get past the grey Apple loading screen.
    I've tried everything it tells me in the manual, pressing various combinations of keys as I turn the computer on, but to no avail. I also put Install Disk 1 in and tried to check hardware from that (pressing D) and tried pressing C too to boot from it, but nothing happens, just the grey apple loading screen. Of course, now the install disk is stuck in there too.
    Any clues as to how I can sort this out? I'm still under AppleCare, so if worst comes to worst I'll call UK support and see what they can do, but thought I'd try everything I could at home first.
    TIA.

    You have a javascript error. Did you repair permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder? If not, do so and restart the computer.
    If the crash persists, then reapply the 10.4.8 combined update, again "repairing permssions" after the install/restart (I'm assuming you are using a PPC system, if you have an Intel Machine, use this combined update.

  • Calendar:  appointments etc. dissapeared after latest software update

    Iphone 3g. After the recent software update, it now takes 10 seconds plus to go from the home page to applications--before the switch was almost instantaneos for those apps not requiring an internet connection, e.g. ipod, calendar.
    Also AND MOST ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS, all my calendar postings dissappeared! I use my iphone calendar for everything--appointments, deadlines etc.--so this was devastating and personally costly!
    I've checked for updated, re-synced etc. to no avail.
    Help!!!!!!
    Eberly

    Remember the old programers' joke: IT'S NOT A BUG ITS A FEATURE?
    Apparently, the latest update makes it possible to turn off your calendar and (perhaps) have several calendars (business, social, tennis, etc.) The new calendar page has an options (upper left hand corner) "calendars."
    If you touch that you get a menu listing: Show all calendars--my pc and birthdays. You would think if you clicked on show all calendars you would get all calendars, but you don't--or at least I don's--you get nothing!
    However, if you click on "my pc" and "birthdays" (this produces a check mark" everything comes back.
    I can only guess that the first synch after the update automatically switches on "Show all .." and hence you lose all.
    I can't be sure this is the full explanation, BUT IT WORKS FOR ME.
    EBERLY

  • A perfectly fine working 3gs after latest software update now has no service

    after udating to latest software my perfectly fine working iphone 3gs now has no service

    yup, same problem ... I can get it working only by rebooting the phone. Then at some unspecified point it will show "no service" again - even though the phone has not moved. Curious ... and annoying.

  • Safari wont log me into my banks after latest software update 16/08/2008

    Everything was fine until i did the download this morning via software update.
    Now with HSBC and First Direct I enter my user code and the page just foes back to the same page and deletes the text i entered.
    Any ideas? I hate having to use firefox.
    p.s.I have reset safari numerous times, still not working.

    Welcome to the forums Everhopeful!
    See my post above. Many banks rely on the majority of their users using IE (the biggest security risk on the market) and don't use the proper industry standards to program their web site, which are the accepted industry standards used by Apple for Safari.
    One of my banks does, for the other I have to use Firefox. No big deal, but a strongly worded letter of complaint to the bank might prompt them into not being so stupid!

  • IPhone 5 stuck with iTunes logo after latest software update. Help!

    I got a message that there was a software update for my iPhone5 and I plugged it in to update. When I returned to check later, the screen was stuck with the iTunes logo and a usb plug graphic. This has been over 2 hours and it won't go away and I cannot use my phone. When I unplug it, the logo stays a while then screen goes black/turns off. When I turn it back on, the graphic returns for a few seconds and the phone turns off again.
    HELP! I"m clueless on what to do.

    Your iPhone is in recovery mode, plug it into a computer with iTunes and restore it to factory settings. The article below can help you out:
