IPAD: Forced Shutdown During Update. iPad No Longer Working! Help?

I did a force shutdown during the latest ios6 bug fix update and now my ipad will not work at all. iTunes does not reckognise the device when I connect it to my pc via usb. I have tried everything I can think of to have it start but with no success. It just keeps displaying the Apple logo, then flickering, then showing some text data in white, then goes to a blank black screen, then the logo and all over again. It does shutdown but cannot do a startup to the swipe lock page.
It would be hard to believe one could fully kill an ipad so quickly and easily. Please tell me that this is a fixable problem! Any way to get it to start again?
Thanks!

You will need to restore your iPad to factory from recovery mode and connecting to your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and hold the home and power button down for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple. Once you see the silver apple let go of the power button but keep holdng the home button until you see the itunes logo and white usb cord. At this point you should be able to restore in itunes.

Ipad 4 frozen during update ios 8.1.3. - did anybody know how to restart (or reset) my ipad4 from black screen with white apple logo?

ipad 4 frozen during update ios 8.1.3. - did anybody know how to restart (or reset) my ipad4 from black screen with white apple logo?

Hi there did you end up getting this resolved? I have the same exact same issue with my Ipad 4 when updating to 8.1.3....frozen on the apple logo. Tried resetting as advised by other users but just goes back to the same logo. Tried connecting to iTunes but device is not picked up at all. Left it over night to run flat hoping charging might kick start something....but when I put on the charger it shows the battery charge icon but won't actually charge it. It's really doin my head in trying to find a fix - cheers Morgan

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

After the last update iTunes no longer works... "This application failed to start because MSVCF80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" I tried and it did not fix the problem?

10.5.7: Automatic Software Update Feature No Longer Works

Ever since I installed 10.5.7 the automatic Software Update feature no longer works. (Manual updates work fine.) For example, here's what happened today with Safari 4.0.2:
1. After powering up I got the Software Update icon on the Dock.
2. I clicked it and it said I had updates that would require a reboot and it asked the usual stuff. (It didn't say what would update.)
3. I clicked to reboot now and it asked for my password and rebooted.
4. My MacBook rebooted but nothing had been updated.
So, I went to the Apple menu to check for updates and it said I had Safari 4.0.2 ready to be installed. This time, it worked. Unfortunately, I have to do this two-step process on every update that requires a reboot. I could turn off the automatic updates and just do everything manually but I prefer the automatic way. (I had it before, too.)
Thanks in adavance,
Brian

Jeffery,
Thank you for your quick response!

How often do you have SU to check for updates? And do you have "Download important updates automatically" checked as well?{quote}
I have check for updates weekly and download important updates automatically enabled.
{quote}I'm thinking that the first time you approved the update, that it could have been for something that was already downloaded in the background, and just waiting for you to OK the install.
Then when you rebooted, and did the manual check, it found that the Safari update was available as well.{quote}
Interesting. I hadn't thought about that. ☺
{quote}There could be a host of other issues... but check the "installed updates" in the SU preferences, and see what, if anything, was installed right before the last Safari update... note the date and times and see if my theory might be correct.{quote}
Here's what it shows for the last month:

Also, I don't think it matters but I did upgrade VLC to 1.0 the previous day.

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on. ???

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline. Any suggestions. It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

Does she have her own iCloud account? You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone". So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account. Is that what happened in your case?

IPad 3.2.1 update will no longer let me use the apple iphone VGA adaptor?

Has anyone else have this problem. I was using the apple iphone VGA adaptor I purchased from apple for $49 on my iPad, but since the update I can no longer use it? I dont know if anyone else is having this problem, I don't know if Apple purposely put an update to force you to purchase the "iPad VGA Connector", but if they did thats just plain messed up.

Can you try the modem plugged directly into the master socket without any ADSL filters. You will lose your broadband connection during the test, but it will eliminate any problem with the BT Home hub, or the microfilter.
ADSL does not start until 30kHz, which is well above the range that an analogue modem works at.

Ipad 2 interupted during update. System now locked and unresponsive.

Hello, I was updating my iPad 2 and the process was interupted. Screen now shows the iTunes logo and a connector cable. I have tried closing down with Home and power buttons, restarting holding home, unplugging and replugging holding the home, reloading iTunes. Ran a diagnostic and iTunes doesn't seem to be able to see the device. Any advice?

Reset iPad and continue with update.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

How do I force/re-install failed Leopard update (USB no longer works)?

Hi everyone,
The last Leopard update last week went smooth with two out of three of my Macs.
Unfortunately the update did not work well on my MacBook Pro 17". I let the update
run over night and in the morning it was still stuck on an "installing" screen. I had no
choice but to force a reboot. From what I can tell a lot of the system .kext files were
updated, but my kernel was not. How do I know this? Well my USB ports no longer work
(well at least with USB memory sticks). I checked my kernel version and it says 9.3.0. The
versions for the System.kext file under /System/Library/Extensions is showing 9.4.0.
Obviously I got far enough into the update that the newer system file works (almost)
with the older kernel.......
So how can I force this update to run again??? I really don't want to reload my MacBook Pro
from scratch. There must be a fix... Please help!
Thanks,
Mike Bender

Alternatively, restore your previous good and tested bootable backup/clone, then run the COMBO update again. Don't have one? Then take some time to peruse:

Force Shutdown during boot camp partition process. Left with no space on mac and no partition.

I opened boot camp assistant.
I clicked continue on the bootcamp introduction screen.
It asked me to select one:
a) Download the Windows support software for this Mac
b) I have the Mac OS X installation disk that came with my Mac or I have already downloaded the Windows support software for this mac to a cd, DVD or an external disk.
I selected b, and then partitioned as much as I could.
The loading bar reached approximately halfway.
My macbook pro then froze with the spinning rainbow of death as my cursor.
I force shutdown by holding down the power button.
I turned the computer back on, and I saw that my mac only has 9 GB left.
I check Disk Utility. It says 100% of hard drive is my macbook pro, no windows.
Any fix? Help me get my space back. thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It could be that the space used for Windows is free space, so you don't see it on a volume.
1. Open Disk Utility, select the hard disk at the top of the sidebar and go to Partition bar.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the partition bar, click the bottom right corner, drag it to the end of the bar and press Apply to recover the lost space

After 6.1.3 Apple TV update mirroring no longer works

I have 2 Apple TV devices. both devices were configured and working for AirPlay. After the devices were upgraded to 6.1.3 AirPlay no longer works. Performed a complete restore on both Apple TV devices still not working from 3 different iPads. One of the iPads also did a complete restore. still not working. Does Apple test these updates anymore and is there any chance this will be fixed in the year.

There is no 6.1.3 for ATV.
Are all devices on the same network?

After 10.5.6 update Mail no longer works

I just updated to 10.5.6 and now Mail (3.5) no longer works. Just before the 10.5.6 update all Mail functions were working normally. When I launch the program "Mail" appears on the menu bar but no window opens. I can select the message window from the menu bar and make it appear but it has no message list and no message content in the window. I can't make sent messages appear either. My in, sent, etc. mailboxes show on the left as usual but I can't get any messages to appear in the window for either of my mail accounts. Also, Mail won't quit without being force quit. I also did the Mail Update 10.5.6 but this didn't help. I went back and used an older 3.3 version of Mail but it won't work now either.

Hi,
Some people have reported success by trashing the preference file for Mail. Quit Mail if it is currently up and try moving this file onto your Desktop:
Hard drive -> Users -> YourUsername -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.mail.plist
If Mail now launches properly, reset your preferences to how you like them. If it makes no difference, quit Mail again and move the file on your Desktop back to it's original location.

10.6.4 update -- expose no longer works

Since the 10.6.4 update, the expose feature no longer works on my MBP. Activating expose causes the screen to dim as usual, but none of my windows move or resize. Strangely enough, the application specific expose still works (click and hold on an application icon in the dock). Anyone else having this problem or know of a way to "reset" expose?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Forums!
First, let's get a better sense of where the problem is. Open you Applications folder. Then, go to the Utilities folder found inside. Double-click on the Expose application.
Is the problem the same?
If so, my guess would be that the problem is somewhere in the update. An easy fix would be to download and install the 10.6.4 update again. It can be downloaded from Apple here. This should re-install the update and fix your problem.
Good luck!
-Nate
