Latest Lion Update has bricked my ATV2?

Have just updated my IMac EFI Update 1.8. It seems to have bricked my connection to my ATV 2. This has been the only change to my settings since I last used my ATV. My ATV tells me to check that iTunes is open, that I have allowed home sharing and that both the ATV and iTunes are running on the same wifi network...
Well yes... Checked this and re-set both iTunes and the ATV I do not know how many times. Am now seeing if the ATV is heavy enough to be a paper weight. All this talk about a high definition Apple TV comming to market suddenly looks ridiculous if our friends at Apple can't get this one right...
Any advice greatfully received.

you can restore an appletv2 by connecting it using usb to the computer

In the latest Lion update, has the dropping WiFi issue really truly been totally fixed?

Anyone still seeing the wifi dropping off, out of the blue, for no reason, issue as was the haunting problem in previous Lion releases?
For those that had the dropping off issue (and there were many).
Did this last Lion release/update really really absolutely totally fix the issue for everyone?
Totally? Completely? Honestly?

I have updated two machines directly to 10.7.2 and have had no issues with either machine.
Are you sure these problems are not as a result of the wireless router used rather than a Lion problem?
I have seen many wireless faults in the past caused by the routers which have been fixed by updating the router firmware.
Maybe those who are posting wireless problems need to also state the make and model of router they are using to see if a pattern emerges?

Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

Mini and Latest Lion update broke my Bluetooth

Hello
Anyone else having bluetooth connection problems with the latest update of Lion OS?
Booth Apple Keyboard and Trackpad are now unuseable. Fortunately I have some old USB mouse and keyboard kicking around.
Joseph

Obviously nobody else has ever heard of this problem...as I have received no replies. Still am unable to launch the system and have read and tried everything I can find online. I really can't afford to take this to a service place as they want to charge me $125/hour to fix it...but my life and work are on this laptop and I was hoping to solve the problem myself simply. oh well, thanks to anyone who read my post anyway...I'll just bite the bullet. P.S. I'm writing this on a Windows XP platform and maybe that's the next way to go...sorry Apple. It's hard to find technicians to fix your stuff. Windows techs are a dime a dozen.
I was doing an automatic software update last night
of whatever the latest security update is and in the
process while still running other tasks in the
background, the software froze up. I rebooted and all
I got was the gray screen with the apple and the
spinning gear. So I tried rebooting again and again
and again. Nothin. It will not boot from any startup
disk while holding the "c" key. (OS 9 or 10) I have
removed the battery and tried with just the power
adapter. nothin. I have tried booting in safe mode.
nothin. I have zapped the pram. nothin. I have zapped
the nvram. nothin. It's an ibook G4 14" opaque white.
I'm running OS 10.3.4. I have an airport extreme card
installed. Any help would be delightful! Thanks!

Latest Software update has shut down my mac - cant boot it up anymore

can anybody shed any light on this issue - i have just (stupidly) run the latest software update (about an hour ago) and now my macbook pro wont boot past the grey screen, it restarted the 1st time but no softwarew would work- then i restarted and now it wont get past the greay screen with the apple on and spinning wheel- ive tried booting of the install cd (it just spits out the cd)- safe booting, reseting the pram -and am now considering throwing it out of the window as i have deadline and have run out of idea's - it may have got dangerously low on disk space around the update - but it looked like it had at least a gig on it can anyone PLEASE help....

Hi exit23, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately I've read of this happening before, it's usually Disk or OS corruption that leads to it.
And iGB free space is nothing these days, definitely dangerous territory, less the 10 GB is really slowing OSX down to a crawl.
Apparently you don't have a bootable backup!?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
But you'll likely have to clear some space ASAP.
Do you have another Mac and both with Firewire?

The latest osx update has caused keychain errors on my macbook pro...what should I do?

I downloaded and installed the latest osx update last night (10.9.2) and now I'm getting login errors when trying to download emails and keychain errors when using Google Chrome or Safari. I have no idea how to solve the problems caused by this update. My macbook pro is older - 2008. Help, please? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I should have clarified above....."keychain errors", not just login errors. Thanks again.

IOS 8.1 Update has "BRICKED" my iPad 4 128Gb

I am exceedingly angry about everything to do with iOS 8.x. The 8.0 update mad everything intolerably slowm update 8.02 resulted in repeatable and constant crashing of Safari, mail, messaging, and other apps.
This morning I decided to try the Update to iOS 8.1 only because life has been extremely miserable after iOWS 8 came out. Twice, the iOS 8.1 update stated that it COULD NOT BE COMPLETED based on an error which it did not disclose. I then reduced the number of apps and deleted documents to reduce what was stored in memory. The iOS 8.1 update still failed.
I then decided top do a hard reboot (Power Button and Home button hold) ever since that, my iPad has been locked with the Apple Logo stuck on the screen. It appears to be trying to reboot but is not. It stays on for 20 - 30 min, the screen blacks out, the iPad shuts down, and then tries to reboot again. It has been doing this now for over six hours. It does not respond to any power button or home button pressing at all nor is it shutting down.
I am really angry that Apple botched iOS 8 up and has done a miserable update to a perfectly running iOS 7.x system. I am also angry that everything at this point seems to be lost document and photo wise since the last backup a couple of weeks ago.
Has anyone else had this experience with the iPad 4 128 GB machine?
Has anyone been able to get it to finally reboot?
I'd appreciate any help.

MacPro 2008 after Mountain Lion update has major sleep problems

I have a 2008 MacPro with 2 2.8 quad-core xeon processors, 6 gigs of ram, and an Nvidia GeForce 8800GT graphics card. On Wednesday, I updated my Mac to Mountain Lion and subsequently found one minor improvement and one major problem. The one improvement is that sleep now works again automatically, if my MacPro is idle for a while (prior to this, I had to push the power button to put it in sleep mode). The major problem is that after a while in sleep mode, the fans activate and don't stop and the Mac becomes unresponsive, forcing a hard shut down. Although I assume that this is unrelated, just in case, the only other additional change this this week is that I got a Time Capsule. Any ideas or suggestions about what to do are much appreciated.

Power nap and mac compatibles
By crispin. Original by Lionel - 28/07/2012 08:02:00 CEST - Category: Laptop
Here's a little feedback on Power nap, one of the new features brought by Leo. Let's start with what Apple says about:
When your Mac goes to sleep, it continues to work with Power Nap. It regularly updates Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Photo feeds, Find My Mac and Documents in the Cloud. Connected to a power source, your Mac will download the software updates and performs backups with Time Machine. During all these updates, the system sounds are silent and no light, no fan will be triggered, so nothing will disturb you. And barely awake, your Mac is ready to go.
It must be added to this information: Power Nap requires a Mac laptop with flash storage. May rneed an updated firmware.
In fact, Apple has proposed specific updates for the MacBook Air in 2011 and 2012 and for the MacBook Pro Retina. However, as related by OWC, other Mac are compatible such as the MacBook Air 2010 13 "(not 11"). It is possible that this is the case with other Macs with SSD, but it will need to be checked case by case.

Why is not mt macbook air upgrading the latest lion updates ?, Why is not mt macbook air upgrading the latest lion updates ?

I have downloaded the latset software updates, but the comp keeps saying it is installing the 2 items, it may take a few minutes, but even after 4 hours, the updates do not happen, the merssage continues as is.
Please help!

I think this is a MacBookAir problem...
Works beautifully on my MacBookPro
Constantly screws up on my MacBookAir
Have been on with Apple Support for HOURS on this.
Have built OSX on separate Hard Drive, and boot from that, STILL flakey at BEST.
(this TOTALLY clears me from ANY software I have installed)
I hope they get this resolved...
My MacBook air was purchased 3 months ago, running Mountain Lion
My AppleTV is 2nd generation, but have also same problem to 3rd generation i tested.
DRIVING ME NUTS!
NOTE!
SOMETIMES it works to reboot into SAFE mode (hold shift on reboot), go fully into
your account. Then reboot normally... if you're lucky it might come back (not all
the time, but about 50-50%)... give it a shot and let me know how it works for you.

Automatic update has bricked my printer

A recent automatic software update introduced me to the dangers of this process, which I have now turned off.
The latest series of updates pushed by Apple included an update to the drivers for my Epson printer.
This update seems to have contained a firmware alteration which makes it impossible to use non-approved ink cartridges in my printer.
(To verify this I've erased and reinstalled drivers, gone back to backup drivers, reset the printer system, etc... No effect. Ink Cartridges not made by Epson are not recognized)
I'm not a frequent user of ink, and I switched to generic cartridges because they didn't dry up -- unlike the Epson ones which always need to be replaced after 3 or 4 months whether I've used them or not.
If you've got any suggestion for what can be done to revive my printer and allow me to use it as I see fit I will be very happy.
Until then, I know which company I will never be doing business with again.

If Epson changed its firmware to prevent non-Epson print cartridges from being used, I don't blame you. Lexmark had been forcing the use of its own overpriced ink cartridges for years, and have since exited the inkjet printer business. Epson may deserve the same fate.
Peruse Epson's support site for an earlier firmware version. It may or may not be possible to downgrade.
