Airport won't power up after updates 5.5.2 and 7.5.2

I updated this afternoon via Software Update: Airport Utility (to v. 5.5.2) and Airport Extreme firmware (to v. 7.5.2). Everything seemed fine, noticed no problems and later I shut down my main computer for the day.
When my wife came home later, she couldn't get an Airport connection on her MacBook Pro. In the process of troubleshooting, I went back to the Base Station and found it was off (no light at all). It simply won't power up at all. Unplugged it, replugged it, etc.
Seems like too much of a coincidence that my unit would have just flat-out died after these updates.
Anybody know what's up?

Thanks Bob, I'm afraid you're right. I didn't know that a firmware update could fry hardware like this! It's just too much of a coincidence to be a... well, coincidence. (Especially now that I see all the other people having problems today after this update.)
I've also reported the issue to Apple via the link you posted in another thread: http://www.apple.com/feedback/airportextreme.html

Hey laurelletoo,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I gather, there’s an issue turning your iPhone 5 on after updating it. Take a look at the article below and try running through the suggestions that it provides.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Take care,

My mbp won't power up after update.

after running an app store update, (Xcode) my mbp won't power up and the battery lights are showing flat even though it was on charge over night.
the update was taking a long time, and it had a message saying something like deleting old files.
i went to bed and left it over night.
when i went back this mornng it had powered down, and the drained the battery even though it was plugged in.
now i can not power up, and i have tried the smc reset.
please help.
many thanks.

This is the standard Apple support article for your situation. If you cannot try another adapter to try, I suspect a trip to an Apple store genius bar is in your future.

Macbook Air won't power up after update

My son is on an internship in Alaska with his Macbook Air -- bringing the Macbook Air in to a "Genius" is not an option.
His Macbook Air (about 2 years old) has been working perfectly, but then this morning Apple pushed an update so he downloaded and applied it and now his Macbook Air will not power on. At all.
Is there a reset hole / button or anything he can do? Or is he just out of luck for the next several weeks until he comes back?
I cannot tell you which release the Macbook Air is, given that he cannot power it up to see, but he, like all of us, is running the latest OSX.

Thanks to Loner T and others in that thread I linked to above, my son's Macbook Air is now working again.
Doing the following 3 times brought it back:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected
3. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time
4. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time
5. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

LG Cosmos 2 Won't Power On After Update

Yesterday, I flew into Phoenix, AZ and upon turning on my phone, was asked to install an update. My phone was on a full battery, which I can usually last on for a few days unless I'm using it excessively. After getting to my apartment, I exchanged a few text messages and everything was working fine. But when I woke up this morning to the sound of my phone turning off, I was a little surprised since it was on a full battery. I went to turn it back on, got the "Verizon Wireless" screen, and then black. I thought the battery may have miraculously died, so I plugged it in -- still nothing. Also have tried removing the battery multiple times. Now, my phone is plugged in, and the Verizon Wireless screen is flashing on and off every 1-2 seconds.
This is a serious issue for me, especially the day after moving into a new place. I need this solved quickly.
Thanks,
Ben

Ben,
This is not the experience I'd want you to have upon returning home, and especially not after just moving into your new home! I would love to help!
I see you've already tried all of the troubleshooting steps I would have suggested. When did you purchase this LG Cosmos 2? Is it still in warranty or did you purchase the Extended Warranty coverage? Does the device have any physical or liquid damages? I would also recommend taking the device into one of our corporate store locations so they can test the battery and charger. Here's a link for our store locator: http://bit.ly/TnUkMM. Let me know so I can further assist. Thanks!

My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

Try putting it into recovery mode.
Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
Open iTunes
Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

Aluminium iMac won't power up after shutdown

Hello All,
I have bought a 20" aluminium iMac for my parents a couple of weeks ago. It went extremely well in the first few days, but I got the complaint from my parents that it cannot power up after the proper shutdown.
It is very strange that it won't power up after it has been shutdown for a couple of hours, unless I unplug the power cord and plug it back in after a minute or so (reset the SMC)
Oppositely, I can power it up normally right after it has been shut down for a few minutes. But never overnight.
I have tried everything I know about like reset SMC and PRAM, as well as running apple diagnostic. Symptom still persist (though the diagnostic says nothing wrong with my hardware)
Is there anyone facing the same problem as me ?
Thanks
Jimmy

Thanks Guys.
I haven't called Applecare yet. However, I have reinstall the system and done a software update EXCEPT the latest imac software update v1.1 released recently.
See if anything good happen tomorrow and will let you guys know
by the way, it's really great that Mac retains everything including the Apps and Desktop setting after the reinstallation......... nothing has to reinstall except the OS itself

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Hi Mike
This is called a kernel panic, similar to s 'blue screen of death' on Windows. When you say you reinstalled 3 times, do you mean the OS or the Update?
When does this kernel panic appear? You may have a hardware issue if it's happening on boot.

Here are instructions for eradicating MacKeeper - you may need to re-install it to uninstall it fully:

After updating my iphone 3G and my ipodtouch 3G ios5, universal dock and remote control doesn´t work

After updating my iphone 3G and my ipotouch 3G with ios5, the apple remote controls (the white and the aluminium one) doesn´t react when iphone or ipod are docked at the universal dock. The remote controls both still work with my Macbook, therefore it must be a problem with the dock. I have tried to connect both with the dock (Menu + left for 6 seconds) but it doesn´t help. Further the volume control doesn´t react on the iphone and the ipod when they are docked. Neither the one on the touchscreen nor the buttons. The day before the update everything was fine. Anyone any idea?
Thanks!

Look at the previous posts on the right under the heading: "More Like This". I appears that others are having the same problem.

Cant get itunes to open after update. have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times

Cannot get itunes to open after updating. Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions.

Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.
In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
