HP Pavilion g6 wont start up after updating windows, no blue/black screen or fan noise

Clicked update and shutdown on the laptop last night, tried to turn on this morning getting no response at all, power button is intact its not damaged or overheated any ideas?

Hi @ESAWatson91 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a first rate place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand that after doing an update and shutdown, that when you try to power it on you are getting no response at all.
First I would try a hard reset. Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset.
If that did not help, please provide some more information.
Do see any power lights on the adapter?
Do you hear the fan or hard drive spin up?
Do you hear any beeps or see any flashing lights?
If you would like further assistance please provide your exact model, the OS and reply to my questions.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Good Luck!

Imac wont start up after new RAM, no chime, black screen

Hi, I've recently purchased a used 2010 iMac i3 that had faulty RAM.
This was confirmed as the issue when I tested a friend's original RAM from the same age iMac and the machine worked perfectly.
I then ordered 2x 4gb Crucial memory (upgrade from the 2x 2gb already installed) but kept getting kernal errors and RAM integrity check errors so the modules were returned and replaced by crucial.
Prior to returning, I attempted to reinstall a fresh copy of mavericks, but the hard drive failed to completely format, and then the OS install also failed so the machine currently now has no operating system. However before returning the ram the machine would boot up and connect to the internet to attempt to download the OS again.
The replacements have now arrived, but after installing the machine won't even boot. First attempt to start there is a drive noise, and the fans run, but no chime and a black screen. If I force shutdown and try again the drive noise happens twice and the fans run, but the same outcome.
If I remove the RAM I still get the single bleep, and once of all of the times I've removed and reseated the RAM I've had a triple beep integrity check fail.
Any help would be massively appreciated. Lost now as to whether the issue is with crucials RAM or the iMac itself.
Thanks

Do you still have the old ram? Was orig sticks of ram bad? What happens if you put only one stick of the orig ram back in ?

Where did my podcasts go after update? Just get black screen

Wow! Update *****!

Hello jasonmaclennan
You would need to revert to a previous iTunes library file to get it back, the article below to get your media back into iTunes.

Macbook Pro Wont Start Up After Update

Hey All,
I was in the middle of installing the most recent update for OSX when my computer froze completely. I shut it off by holding down the power button. Now, when I start it up, right after the apple, it goes to a screen with some script in the upper left hand corner, and a box in the middle with a picture of the power button telling me I need to restart. I've restarted it several times and it just keeps going back to that screen.
I have booted it up from the install DVD and run disk repairs and verifications, as well as checking the system profiler and utility, and nothing seems worng. I've tried starting it up by choosing to start up from the folder and it still didnt work.
If you've got any ideas, let me know. All your advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I meant to say that the system would have been made unstable after the semi-complete update (if it was in the middle of replacing a crucial system file).
An archive and install would replace all system files, so wouldn't hurt anything. You might have to reinstall any system-intrusive applications (Palm Hotsync springs to mind, if you have that) but it will certainly fix system corruption, if that is your issue.
After the reinstall, if you encounter a complete freeze again, then I would definitely be suspicious of hardware. Possibly the original RAM, but it could be somewhere else in the system, such as the logic board. In those cases, you would have to go back to Apple for repair. (Your Macbook Pro, that is, not you.)

Computer wont start up after update

today i had an update notification from my update software. So I loaded it and let my computer restart. Well i went make a sandwich and when i came back my computer was still starting up.
Everytime i turn it off (via power button) i get the gray apple and little grey pinwheel then it alternates from a blue screen with the grey pinwheel to a grey blank screen. It just keeps flip-flopping between the two.
HELP ME!!!!
Update:
won't let me load in safe mode.....

The operating system disc can only at minimum fix normal directory damage. Extensive damage requires more sophisticated utilities. From the sounds of it, your data isn't backed up, so I really recommend you pursue the course of getting an external hard drive at least bigger than your internal drive, partitioning it, and installing an operating system and data recovery tool on it's first partition, and making its second partition at least as large as your internal drive, and recovering to the second partition your data. This will at least let you try more extensive tools on your machine to get it back to normal, in event the issue isn't hardware related. But since it is impossible to determine the difference between a hardware or software issue, unless the machine actually boots and shows all data, a data recovery program & external hard drive are the tools I recommend getting. If you read my aforementioned backup FAQ, it explains this.

3rd party apps wont start up after updating to Leopard

I upgraded a iMac - 2ghz Intel Core Duo to Leopard 10.5. Boots fine. All the new apps run fine but none of my previous apps such as Office, Photoshop, Eudora, Toast, etc. will launch. They bounce in the dock then tell me they quit unexpectedly. HELP!

Hello er:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
While it is possible that some of your applications are not compatible with OS X 1o0.5, I seriously doubt that all of them will not run.
Run permission repair from your HD.
Run repair disk from your software install DVD.
Do you have a backup of your system before the upgrade?
There are other steps that are more time consuming, but run the above items first.

Won't start up, black screen, only fan noise: want to recover: help

So, this may be the end of the powerbook 17".
And unfortunately, the last time I backed up was 2 months ago on a now dead Lacie external.
No kidding.
It won't accept a startup cd, it won't even grab a cd into drive.
So, what's the chance I can recover and how do I do it?,

Try things in Apple doc.#300537.
Cheers!

My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately. This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately. This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

Here's a couple things to try:
1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
Hope one of these works for you!

Screen wont tilt anymore after updated to iso7, cant play games anymore

Help my screen wont tilt anymore after updated to iso7. When playing a game the person wont move when i tilt to left or right. ive unlocked the portrait and still wont work.
Nothing tilts when i trun phone side ways. any help would be great
Cheers

Maybe, maybe not. Most games now require an Intel processor, but:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

My iphone4 wont turn on after updating to ios5

my iphone4 wont turn on after updating to ios5

Hi
Sounds like it's broken in a potentially major way after the drop. You really should take it to your nearest Apple Store/Apple Authorised Repair Centre a diagnosis and quote.
Can't think of anything else any of us on this user-to-user forum can do for you?
HTH?

I have a iMac that wont start up after it sits for a short time

I have a iMac that wont start up after it sits for a short time. I changed out the hard drive and reinstalled Leopard. If I mess with it a little I can get it to start up usually by repairing the hard drive with another computer, one time I just held down the P-R-option and command keys and it worked. Once its on it will restart no problem but if it sits for and hour or so it will get stuck either in the grey screen or blue screen. I also pushed the smu button but didnt work. Please help? Thank you.

For this type of question, we need to know which iMac you have. This forum covers G3, G4, and G5 iMacs that have different hardware, and any recommendations are better handled if people know which you have. For starters, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and look at teh processor type.
You also need to tell us the version of the Mac OS you have, also avaiabe from "About this Mac.
If the processor type says "Intel," you have a newer iMac that this forum covers and should report in the area for current iMacs here:

Ipad air wont turn on after update today?

ipad wont turn on after update today. cannot do a hard reset either...
tried holding the power and home at the same time, still won't turn on suggestions?

How long did you hold the power and home buttons? You need to do that for about 30 seconds, sometimes even more before the apple logo appears.

Macbook won't start up after updates.

I installed some software updates yesterday inlcuding Itunes 10.5, Safari and some other things. But once it tried to restart all I got was a black screen and a constant whirring noise. I left it for a while but nothing happened, occasionally it flickered for a split second.
I held down the power button and restarted it and it worked but would shut down everytime I lowered the lid. Then I put it to sleep manually and when I tried to use it, the black screen and whirring noises came back and it's still like that. I'm not sure what to do, help?
Fairly new Macbook Pro 13'' purchased in about April this year

Another victim!
Try booting up from the install disc (insert and hold down C), then run disk utility and and check your drive for errors, and then if possible try fixing them.
This didn't work for me, however after deleting my hard drive and repeating the above procedure no errors were found, and after a reinstallation of OSX my computer is working although extremely slow.
As for recovering your data I'm not sure. So far I haven't heard of it being done, although I have heard of new hard drives needing to be purchased.
Good luck. And spread the word!
