Computer screen goes dark (stops)after latest update.

After my latest update,computer crashes,screen goes dark,using wireless mouse;difficult to restart.
Is it 6.3 or the mouse?

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
Then, download the 10.6.3 Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
You can install it right over what you already have.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I thought it might be a firewall issue, but doesnt appear to be the case. I have deleted all the wiki's in hopes there may have been a corrupt file, we only had 3 or 4 running. Still doesnt appear to be helping.
Any help out there is creatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,
Hope you are doing good.
Can you please share the latest logs.
The best option would be to use the 7.20 kernel.
The below links will help you if there are any queries with the kernel update procedure:
SAP Note No. 1636252 - Installing a 7.20 kernel in SAP Web AS 7.00/7.01/7.10/7.11

700P Sprint Update 1.10 - Screen goes dark after sync

I updated my Sprint 700P yesterday to V1.10 Palm software. All seemed to go well with the update, until I tried to restore my data with a HotSync.
The sync seems to go normally, but at the end, it says a "reset is necessary"...after the reset, the screen goes dark right after the Palm logo appears. The phone seems to be still working.....just no visible screen.
I spent hours on this yesterday....now have no working phone.....very frustrated.
Warren C.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Yes
i just replaced my 700p due to this issue and return home to find that nothing has been resolved.
It turns out that the update is rather seriously flawed. There is no way to revert the update so, Verizon (after checking with Palm) replaced my Treo and suggested that I not run the update again.
Now the sync issue that you describe.
There appears to be files associated with your treo on the Palm software on your desktop that are set for installation. This was due to the update i believe. These files: specifically those associated with AudibleAir.pdb are creating havoc during the sync.
The Work-around that Palm suggested to me which appears to work (on the new phone with the original ROM) is as follows:
1) Hard Reset the Treo
2) Re-sync the treo
!> When it asks you to choose the correct id, DO NOT DO SO!!!
3) Create a new ID for the treo and continue the sync.
This way these bad files are no longer set for installation because you are not using the same account as when you ran the update utility.
I would be interested to know if this works with a Treo 700p with the new ROMs installed.
My method requires the old ROMS and Palm in its infinite wisdom has not created any means of rolling back to the old ones. Thus a catastrophic update.

Screen goes dark after latest update

Screen goes dark, but you can still make out widgets faintly in background

If you can make out the screen enough, go to Settings > Brightness and turn it up. If you can't see or it is turned up, try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

PC freezes,blue screen etc..after latest update

hello
looks like im not the only one with BIG problems after latest updates,my problems are..
1.Pc sees ipod in my computer but itunes wont start and pc locks up when i load itunes.
2.Start itunes without ipod connected itunes works fine but when i plug ipod in pc goes to blue screen and crashes.
3.If i restart pc with ipod still plugged in pc fails to boot after p.o.s.t. just a blank screen.
3.Ipod shows 2000 tracks itunes shows 1500?
4.I had a fwe problems before latest update but now cannot do anything with either.
Should i reset ipod to factory settings, delete itunes and load from cd when i bought ipod or is there an easier option?

Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

6288 - screen goes dark after 15 seconds

Hi
Have just purchased a 6288. Screen goes dark after 10 - 15 seconds if you don't touch the keypad - very annoying if reading a message. Have turned Power saver and sleep mode off, but screen still goes dark. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
Thanks

Yes it is quite annoying. The screen saver time out does little to remedy this. A way around it that I use is to reassign the navikeys. you can dictate what each button does :go to menu > settings > my shortcuts > navigation key. my up goes to contacts, left goes to new message, right goes to music player and down does nothing. so every time the screen goes black, I just hit the down key to turn it back on.

When I power up my mac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds of powering up the screen goes dark. Yet I still can the mouse arrow but nothing else.

When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?

Try this from another user:
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).

After latest update Mountain Lion, fan never stop working!

Hi all
After latest update (26/9/2012 in my case) of Mountain Lion, the fan start working and never stops (Macbook pro 5,5).
Any other have sam issue?
Already tried to reboot SMC and delete everything starting from snow leopard but problem still exist!!!
Thanks.

I keep an old wired keyboard and wired mouse for just such emergencies, but that is not helping you now. There are at least a couple of things that could account for the disappearance of the Bluetooth preference pane.
There may have been a glitch in the installation.
The preference pane will not be displayed if the bluetooth transceiver was not detected when the computer started.
This may seem too obvious, but try completely powering down using the power button on your Mac mini. Wait at least 30 seconds for everything in the mini to fully discharge. While you are waiting to restart, check/replace the batteries in your wireless keyboard and mouse or trackpad. Restart using the power button on the Mac mini.
If that does not work almost anything else will require the use of a wired keyboard and mouse. For years I have kept a wired keyboard and mouse around for just such an emergency, but in a fit of spring cleaning they were discarded. I ended up having to buy a cheap USB mouse and keyboard at Radio Shack (under $20 for the pair but no command key). But, with any kind of luck, you should be able to borrow a wired keyboard and mouse to get this fixed. Once you have a functioning keyboard and mouse you could...
Be sure Bluetooth is turned ON in System Preferences
Install the OS X 10.8.4 (Combo) updater or
Boot into the recovery drive (Reboot while holding down Command + R) and reinstall OS X 10.8.4

Screen goes dark, computer makes ticking sound

I have a 17" 1.33 GHz Power Book G4 running OS 10.4.11 with 1 gig of DDR SDRAM. I have picked up a strange casualty after the last up grades. The screen goes dark and the computer makes a tic, tic, tic, sound. The power is still on. To recover I have to turn the computer off and reboot. (sounds like a PC!) It just started doing this.
Any help is appreciated.

It's quite likely your hard drive is failing.
