Apple TV won't start after 5.3 update. Please help!

I got notified this morning that there was a software update for my Apple TV. I left it to update. I came back and now it won't start when I press the menu button on the remote. I didn't want to unplug the power cable, but my tv is not getting a signal from the ATV, so would it be ok?
Thanks!

Mine has done that as well but it wants you to connect a cord to the iTunes icon which doesn't make sense to me.

PowerBook G4 17 won;t start after upgrading Hard disk Please help!

Hi Folks! need your help in order to diagnose aPowerBook G4 1Ghz Serial V731556CMVZ. It worked perfectly untill start to have problems with hard drive. I bought a new Seagate Momentus 7200RPM and followed the instructions ifixit.com without any problem.
After finishing, the PowerBook won't start. I can not hear any noise form HD, or SuperDrive, no startup chim sound.
I disasembly and assembly again the PB and nothing. I try to reset PRAM SHIFT CTRL ALT POWER and nothing.
It's frustrating. Please Help!

I would make sure the keyboard ribbon is squarely seeded and in the right position. That clip is extremely tiny and fragile. Any damage to it whatsoever could cause major issues. Did it fracture at all during the installation process?

Hi BDAqua,
After weeks of strugle I can use my MAC as normal, but everytime I shut it down, she cannot wake-up, I had to refer to your hints in order to start it up again. So right now I can use my MAC every day with "SLEEP" mode.
She just cannot RE-START or wake up after a SHUTDOWN.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, here under I pasted the log file retrieved from Disk Utilities.
(I tried also to reset PMU, SMU and PRAM but nothing helped. Perhaps she is in need of a brand new PRAM battery???

Why Macbook won't start after unsuccessful software update (BSoD) ?

My Macbook is not starting after an unsuccessful attempt to do a software update.
There were 5 updates available but none would work, so I downloaded a couple of updates individually from Apple's website.
But these individual updates did not work as well and an error message said that the digital certificate may have been tampered with.
After retrying an iTunes update, the message that I needed to restart my computer appeared.
Since then on every start up attempt, I get the Apple icon and then the same message to restart my computer appears.
I know what the system looks like with a HDD failure and this is not it.
Clearly a software issue has caused a hardware failure somehow.
I am wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this or if there is a recent bug or glitch within the software update process that is causing the problem.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

After obtaining and installing another HD (250 GB), it appears that something is quickly returning me to the same place.
The time lost within installing the HD and reinstalling the various software programs is becoming a little too high for me.
I bought and installed Leopard to avoid going through anything Tiger may have had that brought my Macbook to its knees.
But now here I am again less than 1 month after installing the new HD and installing Leopard with a Macbook that simply will not work.
To top it all off, I bought an external HD to use Time Machine today and never have had the opportunity to backup everything.
Any ideas are definitely appreciated in advance.
My biggest concern right now is that it appears that the Random Shutdown Syndrome (RSS) either has returned or something is allowing the temperature to escalate and overheating a board or something internally.

Firefox won't start after download and update

I get a few messages:

I also get a message:

I uninstalled Firefox several times , still no luck
I hope you can help me resolve this problem.

Well I use system restore to an earlier date in May.
Then I uninstalled all Mozilla files and then I reinstalled Mozilla 29.0.1 and
now my Firefox Mozilla is working fine with all info in my profile intact.

Sony Xperia Z Tablet SGP311 won't start after failed Lollipop update

I cannot get my Sony Xperia Z table SGP311 to start after I allowed it to update with Android Lollipop.
Every time I have the device over the past week I was getting notifications to update. I finally accepted. (I wish I hadn't).
After the update notified me that it was unsuccessfil, I have the following situation:
If I plug in the charger, the indicator light will come on red, and screen will briefly display a charging icon. If I then unplug charger, the red light will go off.
From an 'off' state, charger not plugged in, if I press the Power button until the indicator light blinks blue once, the screen will appear with:
SONY
XPERIA
and then goes back to a blank screen. It will repeat this every 30 seconds.
If I turn off the device by holding Vol+ and the Power button simultaneously and wait for the indicator light to flash 3 times, charger /PC not plugged in (Let me call this state "OFF" for short), and then:
1. From OFF, then try turning on with Vol+ and Power button simultaneously: nothing will happen.
2. From OFF, go to PC Companion on my desktop PC, Support Zone > Phone/Tablet Software Update > Connect: nothing will happen.
3. From OFF, go to PC Companion > Support zone > Phone/Tablet Software Update > Repair my phone/tablet > Another phone/tablet > select SGP311 > hold Vol- while inserting USB cable from PC, blue inicator light will come on, update process will begin, then terminate with "device update error", so "Retry', but this terminates with "download error", and "check your internet connection". But there is nothing wrong with my internet connection!
Any more ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for your contributions.
After Pressing Power+Vol-up for 10 secs (during which indicator light gives 1 blue flash then a 5sec pause, then 3 blue flashes in quick succession):
I attempt the PCC repair, by pressing the vol-down (the side of the Volume rocker switch furthest from the Power button) as I simultaneously plug in the cable from the USB port.
When I do this, I see the indicator light flash red momentarily (<0.5sec) and immediately momentarily (<0.5sec) flash green.
The updater begins but always aborts about 1 minute later with an 'Error 100' message.
I have no other internet connection but I supose the next stage of all this is:
1. Learn all the indicator light colours and flashing sequences so I know what the device is messaging. Is there a code guide I can download?
2. Install PC companion on my laptop and try using that.
Also, how do I know if the device is charging from a wall charger? Will it charge when the device is power-off? Should I see an indicator light, and if so would it be always-on, or only flash or remain on for a certain time after plugging in the charger?
I should never have given in to the nag messages to update the OS. What a headache.

Disk Space Disappearing After Today's Updates - Please help

Hi there everyone. I'm having major problems with my mac pro today, and for the first time, I cannot fix it. Please help me. I will try to explain what happenned. Like most, I was very excited about the release of ios 5 today. I downloaded the Lion 10.7.2 update, the ios 5 updates, iTunes and the iPhoto update. I installed of these without problems and then I enabled iCloud. I then decided to first update and restore my iPad 1 to ios 5. This worked perfectly fine and my computer was running fine. Then, I decided to update my iPhone 4 next. This is when I started running into problems. I updated it and then went to restore it from a a backup. This did not work, I got an error message that told me it was unable to restore the phone becasue it was unable to create backup.
So, I then checked the disk space for the main Lion drive and it was at zero. I thought, well I was sure I had at least a few gigs, but maybe I used them. So i deleted enough files to create 5GB of free disk space. I then tried to run it again, and I watched as my disk space slowly went down to zero again. I thought maybe it needed even more space than that. So I rebooted the machine and yet my disk space did not reappear. I had about 200mb when I rebooted. Then i noticed it was randomly fluctuating and went down to zero again. I then deleted another 3gb of files and created more disk space to try again. The same thing happenned again. I have now rebooted the machine again. When it first rebooted it had 500mb of disk space, it then fluctuated and went down to zero again. It is going between 67mb and zero every minute or two, and then goes up to 400MB, then reduces down to zero again. What is happenning? I have not opened any applications except for safari right now. Do we think there is a problem with my virtual memory or disk all of a sudden? It seems strange this happenned today. it must be related to one of the updates? I thought it might be icloud. So I have diabled that completely and the fluctuations have not stopped.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give. I cannot think what the problem is. I cannot even run Techtool to check anything because nothing is working with no space for memory. Every time I delete files it goes down to zero anyway.
Thank you very much

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

Firefox won't start after installing an update from Apple - what to do?

I am not computer savvy. When I installed a recent update from Apple on my Mac. Firefox won't open. Safari wouldn't either, but an Apple tech led me through steps to fix it. He didn't know what to try for Firefox.
== right after update was installed and Mac restarted ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.1 Safari/533.16

Then a clear CMOS would be the next logical troubleshooting step.
Here is a link to your motherboard specifications.
The information on clearing CMOS is at the bottom of the document.
This is usually the last step before giving up on a motherboard.
The problem you are facing is motherboard hardware firmware related.

The Sims Game won't start after latest OSX update?

Hello
Ive tried so many things but my problem just don't get fixed!
Yesterday I updated my MacBook Air with the new OSX 10.8.4 Update, since then my Sims 3 is not working no more!
I tried a lot of things from the view that Sims was the Problem, but since this Problem accured just after I updated my Mac System, I figured it has to do something with the new Apple Update!
When I start my Sims all I see is a Black Screen, It wont react unless I end with cmd/esc.
I tried a lot of things and it just won't help anything.
I reinstalled the Sims and it just doesnt show any process.
I would be so glad, if sb. could help me and know why my Sims Game is acting up so much, since the new Mac OSX update.
Maybe the Sims and the new Update is not compatible with each other?
Somebody help me please! Thank you very much!!!

Boot into the Safe Mode and try to open it.
Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Mac Pro Won't Start After Installing Security Update Tonight

I just installed the latest security update for Lion on my Mac Pro via software update. The update seemed to install fine. I was about to start work when all of a sudden the system rebooted on its own. Now it just continues to reboot because it can't complete the boot up.
I tried resetting PRAM and SMC, but this didn't help.
I tried booting up from CD using an old SNL disk. I was able to get to disk tools once. I checked my startup volume and disk tools said the volumes is fine. I was checking permissions when once again the system rebooted on its own.
I tried starting up in safe mode, but it only gets so far into the boot process before it reboots.
I tried starting in verbose mode, and noticed several SMC related errors (this is why I tried to reset the SMC). No joy.
If I leave the system sit a few minutes, it gets further into the boot process, but still won't boot completely.
Any suggestions?

Mac Pro tower or MacBook Pro notebook? Which model?

Please verify you got this screen as well:
I had the same after updating fronm 10.7.1 to 10.7.2 tonight. Not even a re-install of the OS X 10.7 and Combo update to 10.7.2 helped. I think this time Apple messed up big time with the 10.7.2 update and some Mac Books (my case: MacBook 15" Mid 2009 = MacBookPro5,3)
If any Apple Support person reads this: Please get in contact with me. This is highly unusual!!
I think the best thing would be to call AppleCare 1-800-MY-APPLE.

I installed a update on my Mac book pro, now when I try to start it, it'll come up with the apple logo and a loading bar below it, gets to about 1/4th and shuts down every time.
