Cannot address WRT54G Ver5 After attempt to upgrade.

I attempted to upgrade the firmware and now I cannot communicate with the router. I just have a blinking power light . Tried the reset and what I can find on the Linksys board. Any Ideas?

You may need to hard code an IP on your PC NIC so you can get communication with the router and try to flash the code again. Try entering say 192.168.1.50 with a 255.255.255.0 mask. Linksys has a tftp utility to do a tftp transfer of the code to the router. You can get that from their ftp site in the network directory. If you can't communicate with the unit it is probably partly because the router's DHCP server cannot function in the state it is in. It may be able to communicate on its default IP address of 192.168.1.1 but can't serve up an IP for your machine. Your best bet is to get a direct internet connection and get a live chat going with a Linksys engineer. They can help you get the code flashed on the unit again. That is if it is possible to recover it. You can't flash the code with wireless. If you tried to do that then you may have created a problem. You can only flash the code with an ethernet cable connected to the device. After you have the tftp.exe program, a static IP address on your PC and the code image downloaded to your PC you will be ready to try it again.

Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? error 1

Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? I get an unknown error 1 message. Thanks.

I have the same problem. Something happened during the download and froze iTunes. After spending three days searching these forums with the dead iPad, the only thing I got to work was to try downloading iOS 5 using my sons computer. This worked. However I cannot now get my computer's iTunes to sync with my iPad.. It contains the same error message (1602) and has the same problem as before. It is not an antivirus problem. I need some help too

IPhone 3G no longer works after attempt to upgrade to 2.0.1

Hi all,
I have a black 16 GB iPhone 3G on a contract with Vodafone Australia. Last night I attempted to upgrade the firmware through iTunes to 2.0.1, after getting the latest security update and version of iTunes (7.7.1 I think it is). Anyway, the iPhone software appeared to download fully but then when it tried to apply the update everything froze and all I could see was the apple logo in the centre of the screen with the spinning cog below. I have tried restoring and followed everything I could find in Apple's support documents, including trying to put in DFU mode and restore but nothing - I keep getting a 1604 error. I can't contact Apple as their phone lines are only open weekdays and there is no Apple store in Melbourne as yet. Any ideas?

It was like that overnight. However, I just took the iPhone in to a Vodafone store and they replaced it with a brand new one. Problem solved I guess. Just synced up the new phone with latest firmware and everything seems to be working fine.

HT6154 iPhone 5s is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to upgrade to 7.1.1

I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 5s to 7.1.1 today
During the process, the phone Screen got on the upgrade progress bar. After an hour I decided to cancel the upgrade by turning off the phone.
I am not sure if iOS 7.1.1 ever finished installing. After turning it back on I see the recovery icon which won't go away after turning it off and on.
How do I get out of this recovery mode loop?

OmarZB,
it appears the bottom line is that the upgrade failed and left the phone in the recovery loop. As it turns out, because I plugged in and used itunes for the upgrade, a backup was automatically created before the upgrade started. I had know idea until i decided to check under itunes > preferences > devices.
I resolved my problem by restoring the factory settings and then restoring the backup that was automatically created.
All is well now after many hours of stressing.

Mac air won't start after attempt to upgrade OS to Maverick

I was prompted by APP store that a new OS Merverick was available so I decided to install.
I downloaded the OS via APP shop (therefore no disc) and check for the updates for other software before restarted the Mac.
Since then, it won't start up the system and keep stack on the grey screen with a apple mark.
Having checked some forum in the Apple Support Communities, I managed to open a disc utilities and tried to repair.
At the first instance, there were some error occurred, but after few attempt with the disc utilities it now says that HD is fine.
However, main HD which is displayed on the left side of disc utilities is gray and I can repair permission.
It also says that HD (journalled) which terminology that I have no idea what this means.
Several attempt with the disc utilities, when I tried to restart "Apple symbol" appeares and several second later the "NO ENTRY" symbol appears and get stuck.
At this point, I decided to re-install OS X Lion from the CD, but when I try to select the HD is says that HD is locked.
I am completely lost to what to do next.
I have several files on this MAC which I would like to rescue if possible.
I have never had any issue with HD and I can only deduce that this was caused by the new OS installation.
Could someone help please?
Thanks.

Imac g3 screen issues. (after attempting to upgrade.)

Hello!
I was installing mac osx on my failry old imac g3. It told me that my firmware needed to be installed. So I clicked restart. When it restarted, my screen didn't show up at all! I restarted again and my screen was faint, crooked and blue. Now I can't even run my original os9!
Did I delete some kind of screen setting!?
How should I fix this!?

For a firmware update to be applied to such a machine, the machine has
to be running/booted into OS 9.1/9.2; and support for the USB pen/flash
drive would have to be working inside the computer to import from one.
If the iMac G3 has FireWire ports, you could use a FW cable from another
Mac and use that Mac to import the firmware update into the hard drive of
the other computer; or use disk utilities of the proper type to attempt to
repair the old iMac's hard disk drive before going further. Could be not
only is the logicboard in jeopardy, the drive may also have issues.
[In some cases, a dead or weak clock battery can also be a problem in
the process of firmware updates and PRAM matters.]
The incompatibility of pre-Firmware updated iMac G3s to properly
display video is part of the symptom you get to experience in a sit-
uation where the OSX was installed (or X disc was used to boot the
computer, before firmware was updated in the running OS9 system.)
A different hard drive with the OS9 system for the iMac installed on it
with the Firmware Update on it, and put into the iMac could help in the
process; but you'd have to run the Firmware update after the computer
itself was physically installed in the drive to flash the computer's ROM
and upgrade the bootROM firmware to 4.1.9 or whatever your's needs.
A universally recorded CD-R would work in both a Mac and a PC; Mac
users have been making these for years, usually on a Mac, of course!

There are a few different approaches to attempting to solve this;
one company has a special process and wanted to sell something;
this following quote is someone's experience from the above link.
"...I thought, what the heck, it's good as dead already... why not try one
more thing? So, I held down the Programmer's button on the side of the
iMac while starting it up.. and bingo! It didn't shut down this time! The
screen was black, but it was up and running to some extent. I hooked up
a PC monitor to the iMac and saw the Open Firmware screen. This was
pretty exciting, until I realized that it was not accepting any input from the
keyboard or mouse. What now? I stuck my OS 9.2 CD into the slot, did
the "3 finger salute" reboot, held down the C key and prayed harder than I
have in a while.... and eureka! The CD booted the iMac successfully! I
was able to do a clean install of the OS to upgrade it from 9.0 to 9.2,
restart the Mac; then upgrade its firmware..." -- may not be repeatable.
Anyway, hopefully you get more feedback on this and a resolution solution!

Dead MBP after attempted HD upgrade

So I found a good deal on a 320GB WD HD at MicroCenter yesterday and thought that would be an easy nice upgrade for my MBP. So I installed the new HD and powered the MBP on and the little light came on and the CD drive would spin up but no video. So I thought maybe I forgot a connection but after opening and closing the unit 5 or more times and putting the old HD back in and removing the 10.5 OSX CD from the drive I have yet to be able to to do anything to make my laptop boot. The light on the latch switch stays on and the drive will CD spin up every so often but never get video or the boing sound at power on (I am not sure if the speakers were muted the last time I was using the laptop which I thinks somewhat controls that).
I believe the unit is a 2.16 with 3gig ram installed with the original HD I am just trying to get it back running. I have tried CMDOption+RP at power on and no boing and not reset with a second boing.

Funny - I recently went thru the exact same thing! I had two problems - Keyboard/TrackPad cable was disconnecting when I was attempting to fit the top cover back in and one of the RAM stick wasn't seating properly. After I fixed those two problems I was able to use the new HD (Oh and as it happens to be the case - I used the same 320 WD HDD!).
So hopefully this will help you.

Cannot turn on AirPort after Snow Leopard upgrade with Parallels 3

Since I have upgraded to Snow leopard, my wifi does not turn on, I have seen some comments about parallels causing the problem, does anyone know if this is true and if so how to turn of the ports they are using.
I cannot open the parallels environments as I need to upgrade to get them open.
I now have lots of applications which have stopped working since the upgrade, this is the one thing Microsoft does well making sure the backward compatibility, used to be a advocate of Apple OS's but this one has tarnished my view on them.
Any help very much appreciated.
Rgds, Tony

I find the idea of perpetual compatibility of programs with new operating systems to be unrealistic. The programs that you bought still work with the OS that they were designed for (Tiger and Leopard). In the case of parallels, version 4 has been available for Mac since November of 2008. Version 3 came out in June of 2007. So it looks like they are trying very hard to keep up with the changes that the new Apple cats bring every couple of years.
Since you don't wish to purchase programs that are certified for the operating system you have upgraded to, then you will either need to find freeware replacements or install an operating system that is compatible with the versions of programs that you currently do own. A lot of third party developers are going to insist on getting paid for their continuing efforts. You can also use Apple's BootCamp to run Windows on your Mac. It's free with the OS, but I don't care for it and I'm willing to pay for a program that provides services that are not available in the OS.
Parallels upgraded their software to version 4 for a reason, probably many reasons actually. I expect that part of the reason they decided to rewrite their code was to enhance compatibility with the virtual machine and Leopard.
I was having some issues using version 3 that I bought during the Tiger era (I think - actually started with v2) and they went away with version 4. Version 4 does work with Snow Leopard, and Parallels did come out with a free incremental update for v4 - 2 days before the Snow Leopard release. I suppose that this latest update was also supposed to provide better compatibility with Snow Leopard. Parallels was probably one of the vendors that took advantage of developer's access to the Snow Leopard beta's and they seem to be trying to keep up with the new OS's changes in design.
Now I'm waiting for Parallels to build a 64bit version of their program (which I expect to pay an upgrade fee for). I'm guessing we'll see some pretty good speed improvements if the code is re-written again (probably v5) to take advantage of the new architecture.
If you don't wish to upgrade to programs that can take advantage of what Snow Leopard was designed to do, then Leopard or even Tiger will probably work fine for you. Apple is still going to maintain security updates and bug fixes for them for the foreseeable future.
in what is billed as a simple no impact upgrade
What Apple actually said is that there would be very few changes to the GUI. They stressed that this update is mainly to enable a better 64 bit platform for future programs, the ability to use an absurd amount of ram, and compatibility with other systems like MS Exchange.
I have now eight different applications which are developed for the Mac OS
I guess you mean a Mac OS. This is far from the hundreds of applications that were rendered useless by the Leopard upgrade which dropped support for all OS9 programs. Many people had to find new games that were developed in this century or new word processing programs, or even convert their old graphics files to gifs and jpgs.
That was really painful for some as there are no replacements for some of those programs at all.
no WiFi
Certainly some sort of corruption, or even an actual bug. That's the nature of a bug. It might have just gotten fixed with the 10.6.1 update, or it will be with one of the next updates to come out, or you have a problem in your user account preferences, or some other issue. Anybody who works for a living in the IT industry knows better than to upgrade a computer to a .0 version of any program or OS, and they have backups in case there are serious problems. Let others break in a new OS before you break down. Hopefully, the machine you upgraded wasn't used for income, without having a bootable backup?
My first computer training was on a Burroughs 3500 Mainframe in the early '70s - Many computer hardware's have come my way away since then. They all cost a bundle at the time, and I used each for the best performance I could afford. You'll have to decide the value of any upgrades or updates and that does require research.
Google is my friend.

PS What was your previous distro? (I don't want to brag, just tell you some differences between Arch and other "easy" distros)
Ok as I said i unfortunately inherited the computer, so I was not the one to go through the install of Arch.
I have been using the computer without upgrading, but I would really like to get the computer working properly.
The last upgrade was probably performed around a year ago. Please let me know any other specific information that would be useful.

Iphone not charging after attempt to upgrade to 3.1.3

I tried unsuccessfully yesterday (2nd time) to upgrade to the latest software version 3.1.3. The upgrade failed, and I believe error code was 16. Now, my IPhone has low battery, itunes won't recognize it, and when I turn iphone on, a picture describing connecting the usb to Itunes appears.
Please help.

While it does not mention error code 16 specifically, this KB article talks about failed update attempts and how to correct them. See if this helps you.

Cannot shut down completely after windows 10 upgrade

Since I upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1, my laptop started to have problems of shut down/sleep uncompletely (the power light is solid and on). I have to force to shut down and reboot. Occasionally it works OK, but most of time won't work well. I found many reports regarding this type of issue of HP laptops. HP Technical Exports, pls help!ThanksFulong

**I have posted this in another area with the same issue** YES!!!!! A Solution that worked. Spread the news. It has to do with the Intel Virtualization Tehnology. Didn't know what that was until this issue came up in Windows 10. First, find out if this is your issue. 1. I installed the 'Intel Processor Identification Utility' directly from Intel.2. After installation, open the program and go to the 'CPU Technologies' tab.3. If it says 'YES' for Intel Virtualization Tehnology, proceed. Solution...(at least on my system) 1. The next thing you have to do is go into the BIOS. If you have not done this before, proceed at your own risk. You need to restart the computer and enter the BIOS (for me I hit F10 at the HP screen)2. Within the BIOS, there is an 'Advanced Options' section3. In this section there is a line for 'Intel Virtualization Tehnology' and it will say enabled or disabled. My computer said disabled.4. If this is the case, change the option to 'ENABLED'; then SAVE and EXIT from the BIOS. The Computer will restart and from that point on Shut Down, Sleep, etc. has worked. WOW this was a frustrating issue. Almost went back to Windos 8. I take no credit for this solution, I pieced it together from other posts on this issue. Hope this helps.

Cannot open Photos app after today's upgrade

Hello
I upgraded the Yosemite OS today to the new version with Photos
All seemed to be ok except for Photos which is not opening as every time i try to open it the system tells me: an error occurred please restart application
All info is still in the iPhoto app but i never managed to actually start the migration process due to this blocking error
I tried restarting and turning the Mac Off but to no avail
I am using a MacBook Pro of 2012
I cannot remove Photos to reinstall it as this is embedded in the Yosemite OS so any idea is more than welcome
Have a nice day and thanks for the help on this
Dimitri Dupont

Additional info - all still works on Iphoto so nothing is "lost". It is just that i never get further than the startup screen and when clicking on the blue "start" button the error message appears
