Airport express shuts down after december update firmware

can anyone advise me on AEXpress which shuts down very soon after powering up, all since i upgraded firmware earlier in december? this is a replacement model which i got new in summer 2010...out of warranty now. it was fine on XP as client mode connecting wirelessly to Linksys WRT160N router; since upgrade, the airport express shows green light for 2 seconds; then amber for 1 minute; then no light at all. sometimes i plug it in and no lights appear at all. i doubt it's hardware as it followed the software update immediately. Should I somehow try to reinstall the previous software? but don't know how to do that since it won't stay powered on and doesn't show on airport utility. thanks, pdoyle

Your best option is going to be to try to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express to see if that will clear up the difficulties. If this is successful, you could rollback the firmware to an earlier version or reconfigure the device again with the current version of firmware.
o Power down the Express for at least 20 minutes
o Hold in the reset button and keep holding the reset button in as you plug the Express back in to power
o Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light blink more quickly. Hold another 3-4 seconds when you see this and release the reset button.
With luck, the Express has now been returned to default settings so you can try to reconfigure it again.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and the Express is still having difficulties, I'm afraid there's been an internal failure within the device and it will need to be replaced.

After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit" . This is REALLY annoying!!

May be it is the Resume feature.
System Preference > General > Number of recent items
Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

Airport Express shutting down by itself

My AirPort Express is still shutting down by itself after using it for a while! I get a connection from my MacBook Pro for a while (green light), afterwards the LED is yellow and my Mac can not find the AirPort station anymore. So I restart the AirPort Express every time by switching it off. After this procedure it works for a while. Also restarts with the restart button do not help. The firmware is the new one; also the Mac has the latest version of OS.
Please help - Thanks!

So, the restart takes about 40 to 60 secounds. After restarting, the green lamp appears for few minutes and then restarting again (yellow lamp) and so on and so on. When I take the station off from electricity for a while the green period takes longer.
Generally, the same problem appeared a couple of month ago, after playing around (I can't remember what) the station worked again, until I changed the place two days ago with disconnecting from power.
So, maybe it's a software problem?

Mac shuts down? Already updated firmware.

My MacBook has been fine since I bought it in May 2007. However, today I had left my MacBook on and plugged in, while a read a book. I turned to my MacBook, and Firefox had shut down. I wasn't sure why, but I just opened it back up. I left my MacBook again, positive I left it on, and when I came back, it (my Mac) was off. This happened twice today. Maybe it's Firefox, it was open both times my computer shut down, but I haven't updated it, or my Mac today or yesterday.
I'll update this post as needed.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I never saw my Mac shut down. I am almost positive I left it on though.

Is it plugged in when you do this or running on battery? What firmware update are you talking about?
Check and see if you have battery update 1.3 installed. You should find it at the location listed. Right click on the bundle and check *Get Info* a window will open and you can check the version there.
MacBook/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/BatteryUpdater.bundle
Leopard(10.5.1) and Tiger(10.4.11) installs it. It is the MacBook Pro update.
If it is 1.3 drag it to the trash and then reboot. After you reboot you will be able to empty the trash. Once you have done that run software update and it should install Battery Update 1.2. You should reset the SMC (System Management Controller) after doing this.

Mac shuts down after security update 2007-005

I installed security update 2007-005 and now after going to sleep the mac just shuts down. I have repaired permissions and run DiskWarrior. It just keeps happening.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Since I have installed security update 2007-003 and 4, DVD player was disabled. now that apple released security update 2007-005, I am now facing more serious issues with the entire system halting (the clock is frozen and the mouse turns into a beach ball... every once in a while)! I am beginning to suspect that the last three security updates need to be avoided at any cost since I have had so many problems with them!
So, in answer to your question, I would just run a clean install of OS 10.3, and never install security update 2007-004 and 5 until apple assures us that there are no more flaws in the security updates again!

Shut down after software update - OSX Lion

Hi all, is there any option in finder to run the software update with automatic shutting down the machine when the update is finished? any special trick?

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.8 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Cheers!

Airport Express shut off after VPN connection (Win XP)

Hi all,
I bought an Airport Express (AE) the other day to stream iTunes tracks to me distant speakers. I am using a laptop, Windows XP, SP 2. I all works brilliantly.
However, the moment I am connecting through VPN (Cisco Client) to my university, AE is no longer recognized.
The VPN is configurated that it only allows IPsec / UDP. Ports cannot be added. It runs on port 1000.
Is there anything I can do to make the AE reappear during a VPN-session? I need to be connected via VPN most of the time.
I would greatly appreciate your input!!
Thanks!
Til

By default, the security appliance allows IPsec packets to bypass interface access control lists (ACLs). In order to allow specific traffic for a VPN tunnel, apply interface access lists. Complete these steps (apart from the basic VPN configuration) on the PIX/ASA:
1. Use the no form of these commands in order to disable sysopt connection permit-ipsec on PIX version 6.3 and sysopt connection permit-VPN on PIX/ASA version 7.x.
2. Create an access-list for traffic that goes into the outside interfaces. Refer to this access-list example in order to allow only Telnet traffic:
access-list outside_in extended permit tcp 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 eq 23
3. Create an access group and bind it to the outside interface. For example:
access-group outside_in in interface outside

Airport express not working after updating to 7.6.3

Hi all,
I bought my airport express about 6 months ago. It's been working perfectly. Then this morning, I woke up to the blinking amber lights, not good.
I restarted the modem, and checked the connection (by hooking up my mbp directly to the modem) and everything is fine. I plugged in the ethernet cable to airport express, powered down then up, no luck. Airport utility popped up (on my mbp) asking me to update firmware to 7.6.3 (I had 7.6.2). So I reconnected my mbp to the modem and updated the firmware, connected the ethernet cable back to airport express, powered down/up, still no luck. I grew desperate and did a hard reset, still nothing!
I am not sure what happened here, or if anything had changed, since it was working fine as I went to bed last night.
anyone else seen this before? i checked with Apple, it seems that my airport express is out of the free-repair period.
pls help
thanks a lot

Worked on it some more and finally realized that I've plug the ethernet cable in the LAN port instead of WAN port. So, internet is back. Still don't know what happened (when it died), but owell.

Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Mac won't shut down after 10.6.8 update - a possible fix

I noticed that after updating my MacBook Pro to 10.6.8 (using the latest 1.1 combo update) that often times when attempting to shut-down after using Safari the computer would just hang or, I'd get a message that said something like, "OSX didn't log you out because Safari did not quit...".
After putting the system into SAFE BOOT mode and trying to launch Safari I was getting tons of errors about Flash Player plug-in 10.6 crashing.
After downloading the latest Flash player plug-in from Adobe the hang-on-shutdown behavior seems to have stopped.
FYI for those who haven't found a fix.

Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??

Muvo TX FM allways shut down after Firmware Upd

After the Upgrade to newest Firmware my Player shuts down after 3-4 sec MP3-Playing! FM works... can anyone help me please?Message Edited by Bandit600 on 07-27-2006 02:4 PM

Like others I've been hit with the same audio and device shutoff issues after upgrading to the latest version of the Muvo TX FM software (.22.03).
What a fricking pain!
After reading a lot of the boards and stuff I finally was able to revert to .9.0, but not before trying everything under the sun.
Starting with a player that had nothing on it I did the following:
- reinstalled .22.03 so I had something that my PC could copy files on to, etc...
- using Windows Explorer, formatted the device to FAT, instead of FAT32
- Attached device in Recovery mode (holding play button long enough while connecting to USB port, that the device came up listed as in recovery in the device manager dialog.
- launched .9.0 install (MuVoTXFM_PCFW_LF__9_0.exe)
This time I didn't semaphore timeout and it got past allocating tables and completed the install. My tests of the device seem to indicate things are working again.
Hope these steps help others!

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top. It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking. What to do?

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003). It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top. I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me. I suspect a connection between these two problems.
I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder. It hasn't helped. The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
Help please!
