Another update causes box to be broken.

I switched on the vision box today to be greeted by the multi coloured lines screen again.  I sighed as I knew this was going to be a problem just like last time and updat happened.
I pulled all the plugs out of the box and router and restarted everything.  The box eventually came back up but showed all channels as locked.  I had to press select then enter a pin of 1234 on each channel to unlock it before I could view it!
Secondly, the tv guide isn't working and there are loads of menu otions missing off the menu.  I cannot see the recordings menu or tv on demand.
Finally, a bit of good news, I notice the box now looks to be a media extender with new menu options for photo and mp3 playback from a windows pc!  Awesome!  That is good news!  Now if only the thing would work properley so I could use it!
Looks like I am going to have to give it a proper hard reset and lose all my recordings again!  *sigh*

There do seem to be a few issues there, however, I'd wait a while before a factory reset, the TV Guide should populate overnight, and the recordings menu should come back after a little while (usually a few minutes, but in the bad old days it was a few hours).  Perhaps another full restart may be in order if things don't come back of their own accord.
Cheers
Alun

  • Tonight opening Numbers caused a free update available box advising me to install the latest version of OS X and then download the latest version of numbers. 'OK' is the only choice. Can't even shutdown. Don't want to lose task or upgrade to Yosemite

    Tonight opening Numbers caused a 'free update available box' advising me to install the latest version of OS X and then download the latest version of numbers. 'OK' is the only choice.
    I can't force quit Numbers or even shutdown the iMac.
    I don't want to lose the spreadsheet (90% completed so far) or upgrade to Yosemite.
    I have OS X 10.9.5 running on a 2014 iMac.
    What to do?
    Thanks.

  • IPad iOS 6.1.2 update causing excessive battery drain

    I have noticed in other discussions that a number of iPhone users have experienced excessive battery drain after updating to iOS 6.1.2.
    I am now experiencing this problem in a big way after updating to iOS 6.1.2 on an iPad 3.   Prior to this update, my battery life was very good, dropping to only 70% to 80% at the end of a typical day of use.
    After the update, which was said to be to fix a previious Mail Exchange battery drain issue (one that I was not experiencing), my battery was dropping to 30% after a few hours.   It was literally like holding a bucket with a hole in the bottom and watching the water drain out.
    I noticed that my Usage time and Standby time were identical, even though the ipad had been in sleep mode much of the time.   This indicates to me that something about this patch is causing the iPad not to actually sleep when in sleep mode.
    The iPhone discussion forums point to a number of possible fixes, including uninstalling all emails and re-installing them all the way to a total erasure and reinstalation of everything.  This worked for some, but not for all victims of this problem.
    Until Apple recognizes this problem and sends out another update, one less painful solution that worked for me was to change all of my email accounts from Push to Fetch every 15 minutes.   This has stopped the problem for me, for now. so I wanted to share this in case anyone else is experiencing similar problems.
    If other community members have discovered other short term or long term fixes then please do post here.
    Apple, I await an update that will allow me to restore Push functionality, or instructions on what steps will work to properly restore full functionality (what to remove and reinstall etc).

    Just to confirm that I have the same problem.  I updated to iOS6.1.2 on Friday 1 March 2013, I have an iPad2.  And Saturday morning my iPad was 0% after having nodded off on a 78% full battery.  This has NEVER happened before, and has become a daily occurrence.  I have now amended my Mail to fetch and hope it works.

  • 10.7.4 update causes system lockup

    Hello, I have Mac Pro (2006) with ATI Radeon 5770 (Apple Genuine) and 10.7.4 update causes system lockup.
    I installed 10.7.4 update via software update and the update works fine.
    But, after a couple of minutes, there are artfacts on display and the system locks up except for a mouse cursor or the display goes blank.
    Obiously, ATI 5770 is overheating but on Windows 7, I run FurMark for an hour to see if 5770 is broken or not and no problem found.
    So I reinstalled 10.7.4 (combo), reset PRAM & SMC. I found out about SMC error https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3940135?tstart=0 and replaceed AppleSMC.kext from 10.7.3 by using KextHelper but no luck.
    I did clean install of 10.7.4 and everything seemed okay but the system locked up during the Setup Assistant.
    I restroed the entire system (10.7.3) from Time Machine and am out of ideas. Does anybody have a simular problem?
    btw, MP is upgraded to 2 quad core x5355 and to the firmware MP2.1 (2007)

    Update.
    I ran Quartz Debug and disabled Quartz Extreme to see what'll happen.
    No more system lock-up nor artifacts!
    I reported to Apple and hope they're gonna fiz it soon.

  • IOS 7.0.2 update causes overheating and severe battery drain

    IOS 7.0.2 update causes overheating and severe battery drain. Before the update my 4S battery life can reached up to 2days  now the battery won’t last longer than 2 hours or less especially when its overheat.
    Apple should release another update to fix their problem ASAP, also Apple should replace our 4S unit because our battery now is degraded and probably some of the parts are damage because of the extreme overheating caused by Apple update…
    Anyone who can tweak this issue please post..
    Thanks

    We also had an issue with IOS 7 refusing to accept the Apple ID and password (not the passcode) and this update appears to have fixed that as well. This problem surfaced on my wife's and my son's ioPhone, but not on mine.

  • J2SE update caused Skype problems..... ?????

    Good morning everybody.
    I hope my post will not be removed - I tried to get help from Skype support with no help, and since an Apple update caused my Intel iMac some problems, i hope this is the right place for my question
    A few days ago i received a message regarding automatic update from Apple regarding:
    Front R update
    QuickTime update
    J2SE50 Release 4
    When trying to install, i got the message that its not possible on my machine? So i was adviced from Apple support to manually install these updates, which i did, with success...
    Until i tried my Skype , and thats what i get in the chat-instant messaging window whenever i try to write a message to another Skype user:
    <div class="incoming context"> <div class="message-head"> <span class="sender"><a href="skypechatcontact://%senderScreenName%">%sender% <span class="date"><b> %time% <div class="clear"> <p>%message%<div id="insert">
    all i wrote is "testing" ...
    I believe its a problem with JAVA, so i was on the phone with Apple supprt for 2 hours, and after all the checks, they said that can not help me, as it is a problem of Skype ....
    Please note that the users i write to, CAN c what i write, but i can not c it, or c what they write me.
    Please also note that i erased all the Skype preferences, and all file sfrom library and applications support, tried to reinstall, erased all again, then tried to install the new 1.5 gold, and then Beta 2, but all the time the same problem...
    Would be very happy if someone here has any idea how to solve this issue... I looked and asked alot in Skype forums, seems that more people got my problem, but nobody was able to find a solution...
    Thank you very much for all the people here that try to help.
    Have a great day everybody,

    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi, thanks alot for your reply.
    Well, after Apple support , checking with me some issues on my Intel imac decided its all ok with my OS, i thought would be good idea to erasae any Skype trace from my OS, after that i installed again several different versions of Skype, the 1.5 and the 2 beta, whcih worked great before it all started...
    And i just keep getting this "gibrish" codes instead of the text i type..
    Regarding the permissions, must admit i have no idea about this issue, c, i was using XP until buying the mac, so im learning all the time...
    I will be looking now for the info regarding permissions, and then try it.

  • Nokia E6 update caused bsod.

    The phone worked fine the 4 hours I got to own this product including use with the nokia suite until it told me about "an important update" for my phone.
    This update caused a bluescreen that bricked it, and now I have no phone.
    The only software running besides it was skype and this has never happened to my PC before and will probably never happen again. I am running windows 7 64bit, and its a work pc. Searching this forum I see that this is apparently a problem.
    I won this phone in a competition and have no paper of purchase for warranty.
    Thanks nokia. <3
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    blue screens of death are not caused by Nokia programs, i never had such an issue.
    bad or outdated graphics card drivers, low memory or even problems with the hard disk, can cause them.
    it depends on how big is the damage, if they can fix just by reinstalling the firmware, then a reinstallation is all your device might get.
    in case an internal component is damaged (highly unlikely) and it's too expensive then you might get a new device.
    anyway i don't think they will disassemble a device to fix another.

  • Do I have to download another update for iPad Air. I downloaded one last Wednesday. Now cannot stream to Apple TV very well.  Nothing is clear on the blogs or Google.

    I usually stream recorded TV from the FilmOn app. iPad Air 8 to Apple TV. I've had no problems until I downloaded an update as requested last Wednesday.  Now everything starts and stops.  I get a timer bar on the TV as if it is stopping to buffer every 2 or 3 minutes - then it restarts after about 3 minutes. Takes twice as long to watch a programme and very annoying!   Also Skype extremely poor with broken picture and poor sound.  (I am in New Zealand).   I understand the update last week had many bugs. Does another update 8.2 cure last weeks 8.1 ? 
    thanks,
    C.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • I am running OS10.6.8 and have a mail box duplication. I use gmail and when I open my mail I have both the Apple Mail and another set of boxes for Gmail. Both get all mail and when I delete from one, it deletes from the other. How can I get rid of the dup

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

  • OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

    OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
    The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
    Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
    Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
    I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
    Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
    Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
    Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
    Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
    There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
    And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
    Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
    Crikey!

    Libby,
    Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
    I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
    First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

  • TS1398 Does anyone know when apple is going to fix the problems their latest update caused with iphone 4s and wifi????

    All the sudden, as i've read many other's have experienced, I can no longer connect to wifi in my own house with my iphone4s.  Nothing goes to the cloud. No matter what I've tried to fix it, nothing.  Any idea when Apple is going to get their act together and get another update to fix the last update????  Anyone have any luck fixing this - it's not a wifi problem.  It's an Apple issue, it was introduced to the device on their last update - what in the world are we supposed to do to fix it?

    I've been on the new IOS since it was released, and have no problems with wifi.

My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

    - Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.

  • Recent windows 7 updates caused serious conflicts??

    I have two NI PCIe-1433 boards and the NI Max v5.4 installed. Recent win 7 (64 bit) automatic updates, within the last 10 days seemed to cause serious problems. Win 7 couldn't boot any more. Sometimes computer turns on and off by itself before the windows logo shows up. Sometimes it crashes before I can login.
    I did a fresh reinstallation of win 7. The same problem happened after some automatic updates. I can boot and use windows 7 if I unplug both NI cards. This makes me think the problem is in NI driver/card. I'm reporting it here to see if anybody experiences similar things.
    Earlier this year Win 7 automatic updates caused a problem with my Canon printer/scanner. Canon supplied scan software still does not work today.

    Hi Jeremy
    Thank you for responding. I do not know which update. I know it's due to some update(s) that happened recently.
    After I reinstalled the fresh Windows 7 (64 bit), I installed NI IMAQ software. I was able to use both boards to acquire images at that point. However Windows 7 kept updating itself. Later the same problem happened again.
    After unplugging both boards, I have been using the computer for 2 days without a problem. My computer's power supply is 650W. Does the boards require a lot of power?
