Battery on MacBook doesn't work after Firmware Update

Hi - I updated my MacBook with the Firmware Update as soon as it popped up on the screen. My MB has been exhibiting the random shutdown problem. Everything worked fine until I restarted my computer, and now it will not operate without the AC adapter plugged in. If the power cord gets disconnected, the computer shuts down immediately. It is no longer portable. I've repaired permissions, which (of course) didn't fix the problem. Any ideas?

thats good news then in my case if its the logic board. The cpu whine has been driving me nuts(being excessively louder then most other macbooks with the whine) so I've been wanting to get the logic board replaced anyways.
Dont worry about the applecare though since we all should have it within the 1 year warenty still so all repairs should be covered.
Imo I'm considering purchasing the extended applecare protection plan if i can come up with the money( $249 is a bit steep for me) to get anouther 3 years of warrenty service expecialy with all the problems macbooks have been having.

Internal camera doesn't work after Firmware Update

Hi everybody,
I had some troubles after updating the Firmware to version 1.1 on my MacBook (the black model). Since the update my camera (the one mounted on top of the screen) doesn't work any longer (it keeps capturing a plain green picture) and the led near the camera is always lighted. Is there anyone who had the same problem? Any idea to solve it?
thanks

N73: restore doesn't work after firmware update

Hello!
I just made a firmware update to my N73 with NSU, and the procedure completed with no errors.
Just before the update I made a backup with the application in the phone menu; the app wrote a backup.arc file in the MMC.
After the update I tried to restore the backup via the same app.
Here's the problem: the app seems to work (but the "restore" lasts just 1-2 seconds), the phone reboots, but nothing is restored.
Googleing aroung I found a solution: buy the Noki 1.7 software, extract SMS, contacts and files from the backup.arc, and put everything back on the phone...
Is there another solution that doesn't involve buying this 3rd party software?
TIA

The phone is working well...
I have been searching in internet, and there'a a lot of people with the same problem. Everybody tells to use PC Suite to backup... if I only knew before.

Airport doesn't work after firmware update

Hi.
I was using my home wireless network when the Software Update suggested a firmware update to my Airport. I did it, but since then it doesn't work any more. I mean, the Mac can't find it and it keep flashing the yellow light.
Have this happened to anyone else?
Thanks.
Best regards,

Try shutting down the DSL modem and your AirPort base station. Leave them S/D for about 5 minutes, then start the DSL modem, allow it to complete its test cycle, then start the AirPort base station.
Repair Permissions - /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app. Start Disk Utility, select your HD and click on Repair Permissions. When finished, quit Disk Utility and then restart your computer.
Go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort
- click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'.
- click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP', click 'OK'.
- click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
If the above does not work then a factory reset of your AEB might be in order. The setup manuals for all AEBs are here: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#airport

Ipod Touch 4g doesn´t work after firmware update

Hello togehther,
i had two times the same problem with my iPod. Apple sent me two times a new iPod, but i don´t want to have new iPods every two weeks, i want to have an ipod that works a long time.
The problem:
-I tried to install Apps, but it didn´t work, iTunes says the apps are "invalid".
-When I update the firmware, at the end, there is the error message "-1" an the iPod hasn´t any firmware anymore. You couldn´t reset the ipod, because the error "-1" comes everytime and you can´t start the ipod anymore, because it has no firmware.
Maybe the problem is because of the apps? Maybe a problem with my iTunes? Or what could it be?
Thanks for help!

Macbook doesn't work after trying to install yosemite

Hello to everyone,
I have a macbook pro 13 8gb RAM and i7.
I had a problem before installing yosemite, when I switched it off it was always spinning the circle without really shutting down.
So I decided to create a USB driver with diskmaker x with on it Yosemite.
To install it with a clean way so I pressed alt while I was switching it on and I went in disk utility I initialized the Hard disk (750GB) and then I setted as reboot disk the yosemite usb driver... while it was running it I saw some interferences on the logo white page (like thin lines blue and red green..) so I switched it off I tried again and it said to me after a while impossible installing yosemite file system verify or repair failed.
So I tried to initialized the main hard disk again repair it and downloading yosemite via wifi...
An error occured and I saw the folder with " ? "...
Now I tried to start it but it doesn't work, I select the hard drive, I don't see disk utility anymore and once I select the hard disk it start a page and it stucks on the page with apple logo and the bar under it which is incredible slow to advance...
What can I do?
Many thanks

hi ariell!
yes, after i click on the icon the hour glass shows up. and yes i have norton anti virus
okay, if you've got Norton Internet Security 2005 (it's the firewall that we're interested in, rather than the antivirus), let's try giving the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl:

MacBook Air Safari doesn't work after ML update

After I updated my MacBook Air 2012 to Mountain Lion yesterday, Safari stopped working. It says it's connected but Safari won't open any page.
This is the third time it happens and I'm getting sick of it (SL, Lion OS and now ML)
I had to reset my iMac (PRAM) to get it back working again, but is there another suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hey I just foud this on this forum. It's worth a try :-)
Also, are you able to ping the network. Go to Terminal and type the following:ping google.com
you should get something like this:
Arnolds-MacBook-Air:~ arnieaz$ ping google.com
PING google.com (74.125.224.168): 56 data bytes

Re: WiFi Issues With MacBook Air
Jul 27, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to curvetr)
I had similar issues to the ones that seem to be plaguing people in this thread. However, I found a solution that worked for me, and will hopefully help you and some others!
System prefs > Network > Cog/gear button on the bottom left (sorry dont now what it's called) > Set service order.
If you find that the service order puts bluetooth ahead of Wifi, try switching Wifi up to the top spot. It worked for me. Let me know how it goes, hopefully it works!
Best of luck, Chris

Safari 3.1 doesn't work after Firmware 1.5 update

Hi. After downloading the Firmware 1.5 update, I can't use Safari 3.1 anymore. I am able to connect on-line (e.g., I can search successfully for updates), but I cannot web-browse. I reloaded my ISP software, and that is not the problem. I also have cleared the cache on Safari and that didn't help either. Please help. Thank you!

If you were actually right don't you think that Apple would put a proviso on every software update to repair permissions before and after install in their release note? Or perhaps even automate the process for OSX user as part of install process?
Do you Verify your disk occasionally? Apple could automate that as part of chron scripts, but they don't. In fact, the chron scripts themselves only run if you leave your machine active overnight. There are plenty of things that Apple could do, but doesn't. Why? Only they know.
But, the OP has an app that is not opening, and DU help states: "If you have trouble opening applications or documents, or if your computer is running slowly, the user permissions for some of your files may be set incorrectly. Permission problems sometimes happen after you update your system or install new software. With Disk Utility, you can repair these problems."
Ewen wrote:
That's another matter, but you didn't actually suggest it first in topic. OP can easily test this by Verify permissions. Repair permissions probably won't hurt but I'd hate for a Mac user to start performing a troubleshooting step with little or no logical reasoning behind it.
No, why would I? S.U. suggested it, and the OP asked how to do it.
Ewen wrote:
so if you answer every question with this as a suggested course of advice you will be right some of the time, but not all of the time.
Yes, and we all know a broken analog clock is accurate twice per day. But I don't advise this all of the time, most of the time, or even some of the time. Rarely would probably be the best descriptor.
Ewen wrote:
I think its just a waste of time unless actually a permissions issue may be present. Permissions issues do crop up (and may explain OP issue) so if you answer every question with this as a suggested course of advice you will be right some of the time, but not all of the time.
I would argue that Verify Permissions is a waste of time, since if incorrect permissions are found, the next step is to Repair Permissions, right? So why not just Repair? You imply that somehow that Repair Permissions step will have negative consequences. What is your evidence for that?
Ewen wrote:

If the only negative consequence to Repair Permissions is that it's "a waste of time," honestly, what's the harm? I think that anyone who has followed this thread down to this point now has a very good understanding of what "waste of time" really means!
