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.

OS X Yosemite problem after latest software update

Hi there,
I have MacBook Pro 13" Core i3 of December 2013. Everything was working fine until I got the latest update I don't remember which update that was exactly, and since then my whole computer is hanged, nothing is working decently and Microsoft products are also not working. Now it is not even booting up. I have Microsoft Windows s well, it is running efficiently on the same machine without any problem. Please update me if you have the same problem, or have got any solution to that. Thanks in advance. Khan

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Permissions problems after latest software update

I verified my disk, repaired permissions, installed the latest SU (iTunes and FrontRow) individually, repairing permissions between installations and I still show permission errors. An example:
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
I get dozens of these, regardless of how many times I run DU/Repair Permissions. Does it have something to do with the "l" as in "they are lrw-r--r--"? Any "fix" for this or is this something to be concerned about?
Thank you for your consideration and input.
Sincerely,
NoKaOi

I don't agree that the permissions repair system is in a "state of disarray," that it isn't useful for repairing permissions, or that it somehow represents an exploitable security issue. The only thing "wrong" with it is it generates messages that not all users understand. If this is an indicator of a system in disarray, then so is everything from crash reports to most system logs.
biovizier's argument is spurious. There are no "false positive" messages because a warning is not a positive indicator of anything. Apple's built-in dictionary says it is "a statement or event that indicates a possible or impending danger, problem, or other unpleasant situation" & its use throughout the OS is consistent with that meaning.
The permissions repair in Disk Utility is intended for a specific purpose: to correct problems caused by mis-set permissions of files installed by the Mac OS X installer. This is printed right in the First Aid window! If that isn't enough of a hint, open Disk Utility's help, where you will read that +If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking “Repair Disk Permissions.”+
*It still does that* -- in fact, if it acted on what it instead only warns about, it would not in some circumstances correct problems but cause them. This conservative approach is characteristic of all the underlying utilities bundled with the OS that Disk Utility makes accessible to users through a GUI, including the disk repair, which stops short of attempting repairs that might lose data.
All the "voodoo" comes from users that have decided it has other, vaguely understood powers to correct or detect things it was never designed to do. The complaints about this are just about as reasonable as complaining that a screwdriver makes a lousy hammer. That is true but irrelevant: problems (real or imagined) caused by the misuse of a tool are not the responsibility of the toolmaker, arguably even if the toolmaker does not provide instructions for its proper use. Here they are provided so there are no legitimate grounds for complaint, other than possibly with those who recommend using it for some other reason than to do what it was intended to do.
It's really pretty simple: if there is an indication that the permissions of files installed by Apple's installer are causing problems, then run the repair. If it solves them, hooray for that. If it does not, then the problem is elsewhere & there is nothing to be gained by running it again or puzzling over messages that you don't understand.

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?

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.

"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.

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!
Quicksilver G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.5Gb RAM

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,
Miriam

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?

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.

Can anyone help me with iPod/iTunes syncing problems after recent software update?

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help me. Last week I updated my iPod to the latest software (8.2). Today I deleted some albums from iTunes and added a few others. I also made some changes to a few of my playlists. I then synched iTunes and my iPod. However the synching has not worked.
When I connect my iPod, it shows up in iTunes pretty instantly. When I click on sync, I can see in iTunes that it is syncing and also on my iPod, but the changes do not appear on my iPod afterwards. Also, after the first syncing attempt, I lost two-thirds of my album cover art. So, I lost covert art, but no other changes were made. The albums I deleted from iTunes are still on my iPod and the ones I added to iTunes are not on my iPod.
I have looked at the music on my iPod while connected to iTunes. I can see the songs/albums I have added are there, but they appear in grey and have a doted circle (to the left) next to them. This shows that they have not synched (I guess).
I have already restarted my McBook Pro and iPod a few times. I synched my iPod with iTunes after every restart, but it has not made any difference. I also deleted the music I added to iTunes and added it again. I synched iTunes and my iPod after this, but it has made no difference.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Many thanks
Summary:
Updated iPod to iOS 8.2.
Made changes in iTunes i.e. delete and added music
iTunes and iPod show they are synching, but changes to not appear on iPod.
Also lost cover art on iPod after synching.
Products:
iPod Touch, latest generation
iTunes 12.1.0.50
MackBok Pro OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Thank you for your reply. I followed your suggestion and restored my iPod to its factory settings. I then restored it from a backup file. All the problems have been resolved. Quite incredible that I had to go through that process to fix it. I hope Apple will find a solution to the iTunes problem soon.

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.

Starting Problems after installing Software Update SecUpd2009-001ppc.pkg

Hey Guys,
After installing the SecureUpdate from January 2009 today my iMac just seems to freeze at startup. Only thing appears is the grey apple and the loading animation.
*Already tried Disk Utility, fsck, and Safe Startup.*
+-Disk Utility doesn't find any problems+
+-fsck doesn't find any problems either+
+-Safe Startup just doesn't work+
What i found here in the discussion forum is the solution with the terminal. Only thing is that I won't get further till following point 6:
*(post from nleoncavallo )*
0. Use a second computer to download the update to a USB drive. (in theory, I imagine the update is somewhere on the hard drive, but I don't know where)
1. Boot from the original install CD (pressing the "C" key while the computer starts)
2. Get up to the point of the installation screen, then start Terminal
3. type "mount" to see a list of the volumes
4. type "find /Volumes/thenameoftheUSB/*.dmg" to get the full path of the update file (so you can copy it and paste it in step 5).
5. type "hdiutil attach /Volumes/thenameoftheUSBdrive/pathoftheupdate/SecUpd2008-008Intel.dmg" (now you have mounted the update file)
*6. type "/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Security\ Update\ 2008-008/SecUpd2008-008Intel.pkg -target /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD"*
7. Exit Terminal and select "Startup Disk" and reboot.
I _already checked Typo_ and i am really going crazy about this. What terminal replys:
+"-bash: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/sbin/installer: No such file or directory"+
Can somebody help me?

Thank you for your fast reply!
Maybe I should have made it clearer. This problem I've got adheres with the software update I've installed. I tried the solutions out you send me with your link but they didn't help me out. Thing is, that i forgot to say:
After a while the grey screen disappears and instead a blue screen comes to vision. But thats it. Then nothing happens anymore.
So far, the terminal thing gives me the most trustful feeling in this. So I still need help!

Boot up problems after latest Security Update

I just arrived home after a three day vacation, and I booted up my Power Mac G4 running Tiger 10.4.11. Software Update immediately notified me of a Security Update, which I okayed. After restart, my screen showed the grey Apple logo for a bit, then went right to a grey circle with a slash through it. I restarted the machine with my Tiger Install disk and ran Disk Utility, and then ran through the Repair Disk Permissions and Repair Disk utilities, with no abnormalities noted. It'll boot into OS 9 just fine, but when I restart while hold down the Option key for Startup Disk select, then select the Mac OS X disk (I have two hard drives on my machine), it shows me the Circle/Slash icon again as before. What gives? everything was working fine until this blasted Security Update (I believe it was the 2008-004 update).
I just recently upgraded my Mac OS X volume with a 500GB hard drive and a controller card, as my previous drive failed. Did something get messed up with that setup after this update?

I don't know whether other users would make any difference, as I don't even get to the User Select screen yet- would changing my password really have any effect?
Safe Boot will bring up the Login window if it gets that far.
Not sure if the PW change would help, best to wait on that 'till after all else fails.
PS. I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
