  • Iphone could not activate after software update

    iphone could not activate after software update (iSO5). it reads, on itunes, "there is no sim card on the iphone", even though there is one in the phone. i tried taking the sim out and re-inserting it, but the same problem still repeats. Anyone to help?

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Unable to Reboot After Software Update - Unable to Reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10

    Hello,
    I just bought a Macmini 9 months ago, and I believe I may need to either erase the HD to reinstall the original Mac OS (10.4.10) or else replace it. However, I am not familiar with Mac and don't know how to reformat the disk. Can anyone help?
    Each time there is a software update, I experience problems starting up from the HD. After the last update a few days ago, I am unable to start up from the HD at all. I tried using the original install CD 1 to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10 with archiving. However, I received an error saying "unable to install because there is a newer version already installed." Therefore, I tried to start up from the HD again by pressing Option key at startup, but the Macmini continously turned off by itself without rebooting. I tried reinstalling Mac OS with the erase option, but it failed. After that, the Mac OS install CD1 only gives me the option to reinstall additional applications, but when I select continue, there is not HD shown to install the applications.
    Disk Utility First Aid on CD1 was unable to repair the disk. I received the following messages: "Invalid sibling link", "Volume check failed", "The underlying task reported failure on exit", "1 HFS volume checked", "1 volume could not be repaired because of an error."
    At the bottom of the page under Disk Utility, the following information about the disk is available. Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Capacity: 111.5 GB (119,690,149,888 Bytes); Available: - ; Used: - ; Number of Files: - ; Owners Enabled: - ; Number of Folders: - .
    System Profiler is able to identify type, disk identifier, file system, etc. It shows the volume supports journaling, but is not journaled.
    Scan Image for Restore shows Library_Preferences (Empty), and Root applications are all grayed out.
    I performed the Apple Hardware Test (ver 3A129) by pressing D at startup. The test ran for 5 minutes and 6 seconds. It reported "No trouble found".
    It seems the HD is empty, but the install CD is not offering any options to reinstall the OS, only the additional applications. I believe it is a partition error, but I am not familiar with Mac and hesitate to proceed any further.
    How do I reformat the disk so that I can reinstall the original Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5?
    Your help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

    Good news!
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • Q10 stuck at reboot after software update - PLEASE HELP

    Hello
    I was checking for software updates for my Q10 yesterday and was informed that there is a new update
    I clicked on download and install, and it asked me to reboot when it was done. After that it loaded very slowly until it reached 99% 6 hours later and it remained like that for 12 hours
    What I did this morning was remove the battery and sim card and I reinserted the battery, the same thing happened again and it is moving very very slowly
    Can you please help?? I would rather find away in which I do not loose my BBM contacts since I have not backed up my phone...are the contacts stored on my blackberry ID or will I loose them if I reset the phone?
    Thank you very much

    It finally powered on after 3 battery pulls, but now it does not make or receive calls (((
    Everytime I connect it to blackberry link it says software update available, so I clicked on install, it said downloading update and then nothing happens, the download bar becomes full then nothing changes
    I also tried to reload device software, i got a message saying checking repair software and it stayed like that for 3 hours then the device rebooted but nothing happened at all
    I even tried redoing the software update from the phone itself 3 times, everytime it would say update successful but the phone would still not make or receive calls
    Please help I dont know what to do....could the problem with blackberry link be that im using it on a mac??
    I appreciate your help

  • Torch frozen on restore after software update

    I updated my software wirelessly last night through software updates on the device. It went through the download process fine, but as soon as it went to "restoring your data" it froze at 37% overall progress(if im remembering correctly) it said at the time Brio Calorie Tracker 0%. So after several hours of it not changing from that % i did a hard reset as recomended in these forums. when going through the restore process again it froze at 2% overall progress and again 0% progress on Brio Calorie Tracker. Repeated hard resets have given me the same result. Last night I let it sit overnight for 8 hours and it did not budge or change in any capacity, still 0% Brio calorie tracker and 2% overall restore progress. I'm at the end of my rope here and have no idea what to do now. I've also tried connecting to blackberry desktop software, including while doing hard resets and it won't let me. It will just say on the device screen that I cant access anything on the device while a restore is in progress.
    HELP please!

    Well, that's a little more than I wanted you to do, but it's still a good thing.    I was going to have you simply remove the application file for that calorie counter app, but now we'll have to do an OS reload.
    Just go through with the following instructions to reload the device software:
    Disconnect your device.
    Download the most current OS for your device, which you'll find in the link below.  It's a German website, but the download link is readily apparent.
    http://www.vodafone.de/business/blackberry-support​/blackberry-torch-9800_158961.html
    On your PC, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader. Delete the file at the bottom called vendor.xml.
    Connect your device.
    In that same folder as above, there's an executable file called Loader (has a little phone next to it). Double click on that and it will start loading your OS.
    Oh, I'd recommend you NOT reload that application again.

  • Constant Reboot after software update

    I just performed Software Update on my Leopard MacBook Pro and now it's in a constant reboot cycle. The grey boot up screen displays for 90 secs or so and then reboots and the cycle repeats. There were three programs for update but the only two I remember were iTunes & Front Row. How do I recover? Thanks.
    Kevin

    Just to add some more detail to the issue:
    I've reset the NVRAM by holding down the Option/Control - PR at bootup and it seemed to work in that it then rebooted again. But nothing else but the continuing reboot cycle.
    Next I tried to get into Safe mode by holding down the Shift key on bootup but this did not work. I inserted the Leopard DVD on bootup but it just spins.
    Help!!!

    i never had problems till today
    big apple fan NEEDS help !!
    anyone ???
    Tom

    Hi Azwrona,
    Another user with this issue indicated that they were able to fix it by first accessing the Store within the Music app rather than via the iTunes app. Once they accessed it that way, they were able to get to the Store via the iTunes app....
    Thought that would be worth a shot before doing resets and sing offs. If that does not work, post back and we will do the resets and sign offs....
    Cheers,

  • PowerMac Desktop keeps rebooting after Software Update (Java, security, QT)

    Since my Software Update through Apple yesterday, my Desktop keeps "rebooting" every minute or so. Any ideas?
    www.robertholland.com

    Mine is doing that too. I posted a couple hours ago asking the same thing, and nobody has answered me either. If someone gets back to me before you, I'll let you know, and if you could do the same that would be great!

  • Force software reboots after Software Updates install, and do a WUA rescan upon reboot and install any remaining patches?

    Running SCCM 2007 SP2 R3 and having two big issues with SUP that impacted us severely with the February patches.  An RDP patch from November broke our 2-factor authentication (2FA) method, so we stopped deployment until Microsoft could fix the
    patch.  Rather than fixing the patch...they made a patch for the patch.
    We divided our servers up into multiple Day/Time maintenance windows, like SUN, MON, TUE, and from 0200 to 0600 AM, and we run deployments weekly as needed.
    There doesn't seem to be a way in SUP to "let SCCM control reboot" and ALWAYS reboot (whether the patches request it or not), and, as a result, we seem to have an awful lot of servers that are stuck at "reboot pending" after patch installation,
    and have actually taken to using a third-party program to reboot the servers.
    There also doesn't seem to be a way to force SCCM SUP to rescan the computer after the patch is applied until after a day...or, for servers, a week (from Mon to Mon, for example).
    What happened this time around was that the first patch installed and broke 2FA, the second patch is not recognized as being needed until after a reboot and rescan--since that did not occur, it took up to a week to get the second patch installed (IF the
    server ever was rebooted), which...was unacceptable.
    Soooo...how can I:
         1.  ALWAYS force SCCM to reboot after patching (60-min countdown if user logged-on), just like we do with our normal deployment advertisement, package, program.
         2.  Force a WUA scan after this reboot, so, if remaining patches from this patch group are needed, they get detected and installed, and hopefully this will all work within the 4-hour window (we might be able to extend it earlier,
    but, not past 0600).
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Don.  OK, if there is a "reboot required" returned at the end of the patch deployment...shouldn't the computer then reboot?  We see a large number of computers with "reboot required" that never reboot.  Is there something wrong in
    the setup to stop a reboot from occurring?
    Thanks.
    It looks like you've continued the conversation with Jason and it's taken an interesting turn ;)
    But, in the case where a reboot_required is the returned resultcode, CCM will look to your MW and deployment settings, and the context of the installation event (enforcement etc), to determine if the reboot request should be honoured or refused.
    You should be able to see all the to-and-fro of this logic within the client logfiles, as it's occurring (or after the event).
    If you do some spelunking into the logfiles, don't forget to look at windowsupdate.log (the WUAgent logfile), as that can, with the CCM logfiles, paint a more complete picture of the "flow of things".
    This does all assume that the client machine is in a healthy and predictable state to begin with.
    If there is already some other pending_reboot hiding in the background, or, WUAgent is running with it's own configuration (potentially fighting with CCM), or, it's Win8 with the "Automatic Maintenance" scheduled task, you can get some unexpected behaviour
    (but usually that is unexpected reboot, rather than unexpected no-reboot)

  • How do I get my iphone to reboot after software update?

    After using itunes to update my iphone, the phone went into a loop and when I try to slide power off, the phone goes back into the slide to unlock screen.

  • Iphone 3G spontaneously rebooting after successful update to iOS4

    Twice now, after a sucessful but very long (5.5hrs) update to iOS4 and restoration of files and settings, I have had my Iphone 3G reboot twice. I think it's running out of memory...but since there's not multitasking why would this be?
    Anyone else suffering from this problem?

    Fingers crossed indeed. I have done the same procedure as you and issue still occurs. Spontaneous reboot a couple of times per day. iPhone is no longer usable as such. I am now trying the 'auto brightness correction' turned off suggestion.
    I did a downgrade to 3.1.3 but I suspect the baseband software which is NOT downgraded!

  • Iphone in recovery mode after software update

    Hello, I have just downloaded and upgraded my software on iphone 4.
    It seemed to have taken about 2-3 hours.
    There was an error (which I missed) and now I have on my phone the white apple sign, on my itunes it says - "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes.
    My only option on itunes is to restore to original settings, which Im guessing I will lose all my data etc?
    Does anyone know of an alternative solution?
    I have held down the home and power button but no luck.
    Please help!

    Try the steps:
    How to perform a recovery-mode restore
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.

  • Iphone no more working after software update

    I purchased an iphone 3G in the States and used it for one year in the UAE without problems.
    My child played with it and somehow blocked it.
    I reloaded the software via itunes but after, I got the message that my phone cannot be released, that I should insert the initial sim card? or approach my service provider. I asked my service provider, but they couldn't be of any help.
    I have now the problem that I purchased an expensive phone and that itunes is just useless in case of problems.
    My service provider in the UAE doesn't understand why I cannot get back to my connection.
    If you had the a similar problem, please let me know how you solved it.
    In case it cannot be solved, it was of course the last time I purchased any Apple product.
    Thanks and regards
    Philippe 

    Hy guys,just to know,so I wrote today to at&t:
    Good day,
    I would like to get in touch with you directly in order to solve the following problem:
    Purchase of no. 2 iPhone 4 S color white 16GB AT&T at the Applestore located in California,last November 8 for $700,92 each, tax included.
    Both devices have been started with a different carrier than AT&T since the very first run and then used for 4 day in the States, 1 in Germany and 1 in Italy with no problem at all. Last Monday I tried the following action from Italy: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS. I then switched on the device and this message popped up on the screen: The sim card you are using is not valid (translation from Italian). I got in touch with the Apple care USA-Apple care Italy-Apple Store where we recently bought the two unlocked devices and I got the same reply from everybody saying that I should provide IMEI and ICCID codes and ask AT&T to unlock both cellular phones because the devices had been bought at full cost and they are therefore UNLOCKED devices. The phone came with an AT&T card that I have never used. Together with the phones, we also purchased two APPLECARE FOR IPHONE contracts for 99$ each.
    A contact would be appreciated in order to attempt a solution, whether possible. What I would like to receive is an AT&T valid reply to my inquire.
    Best Regards
    They sayd:
    Hey Christian,you'll need to contact Apple to resolve this issue,since you did not activate the phone with at&t
    My reply:
    Apple states that I should address to you. We are in the middle of an infinite loop. Thank you for your answer.
