Lion unresponsive after software update

Software updatee prompted me to update this morning.
(I think it was EFI firmware). Now the welcome screen is unresponsive and I can't type in username or password.

Your download or install was probably corrupted, you will need to take the machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and they can fix you up and get you out quickly. Remember to make an appointment and also make sure your data is backed up!

  • Lion crashes after software update

    Hi to all,
    Yesterday a had a major incident. My Macbook Pro was updated with a Thunderbolt/networkadapter Update. When restart was performed, the MBP hangs during reboot and nothing happend. I started lion recovery, but nothing happend. The download was interrupted. When I ran disk check, my volume wasn' t found. So I had to delete it and (!!!!!) install OS X SL (!!!)
    Does anyone made such an experience, too?
    Can I reload my purchased OS X lion?
    This happend right after the keynote from WWDC 2012. So APPLE wants me to buy the new MBP?
    I am a little bit worried now: SL installation last for an hour. And on the screen it says ".... Only 30 minutes left" .....
    Really a bad experience.....
    Any comments appreciated.
    Feinstruktur

    Thanx for your replies.
    Interesting, that some more peaple had the same issue. SO I don't need to relace the SSD. That was what I thought. Cause volume wasn't detected.... Anyway.
    I re-installed Lion now and performed a complete software update. without any problems. Now I am recovering my Backup. (fortunately it is only one week old).
    So I went an alternative way and recovered my MBP with loop way over Snow leopard.
    Seems it works.
    But what  time consuming!!!! Damned, remembers me on my last XP-machine! Nights full of recovering frequently. And now my Mac? Hope this was an exception. Maybe APPLE wants me to buy the new Retina-one?
    Keep you updated.
    Is there any way to tell Apple officially that there is a problem with the update?
    Aloha,

  • USB Audio stopped working on 27" ACD after software update 1.0

    Hi all,
    My 27" ACD worked flawlessly until I installed 27-inch LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0 earlier tonight. I have a unibody MacBook Pro that doesn't output audio from the mini displayport, when I got the ACD Friday, USB audio output worked fine. I also have a 24" ACD and audio worked fine on that as well. But after software update 1.0, I can no longer get audio output of the 27" ACD to work via USB, I even rebooted my Mac and it still doesn't work. After trying it a few times in Sound.prefPane, I now can't even select the "Display Audio - USB" option (when I click on it it reverts to the other option right away).
    From /var/log/system.log, I believe this is the error related error message:
    System Preferences[332]: Error ^P trying to set sOut device to 264
    Message was edited by: ayn

    I have this problem too. I have the 27-inch LED cinema display connected to my Mac Pro 1,1 via the Radeon 5770. I also suspected it had something to do with the machine going to sleep, but the audio doesn't disappear every time it goes to sleep. Unplugging the monitor fixes the problem.
    I also noticed that when the sound has went away, if I try to change the volume there will be a long delay before seeing the volume-change graphic. Also, toggling the sound device in System Preferences while the problem is in effect is unresponsive, sometimes giving the beach ball. Finally, this message is seen in console logs when the sound has went away:
    10/19/10 6:01:22 PM kernel USBF: 75053.200 AppleUSBEHCI[0xf3d0800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfd, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
    I can make this message appear on demand by attempting to change the volume.
    If (when) this happens again, I'm calling support.

  • Ipod touch4g  is not detected in pc and itunes after software update

    after software update is done. when i connect my ipod touch it is not detected in pc (windows 7) and in itunes please help me anyone.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

    Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • Internal camera failure after software updates...first skype couldn't......

    Hello!
    I am having internal camera failure after software updates...first skype couldn't find the camera, and now photo booth also says camera is not connected. Its a brand new MacBook Pro which has been working fine for a month, but after a software update (the blinking message said i had 13 new things to update...you know what I'm talking about right?) all of a sudden Skype couldnt find a camera, so i went to the skype community and tried some things (like trashing skype) but now photo booth says no camera detected, which is weird cause the camera is built into the computer..

    First, reset the SMC:

    regards

    Hey iftekhar,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest backing up doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
    How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339.
    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
    Thank you.

  • I am running OS X 10.6.8.  iCloud says to download Lion 10.7.2.  I thought I was running Lion.  Selected software update and it says there is no new software for my system.  How do I know if I am running Lion?

    Is 10.6.x Snow Leopard and 10.7.x Lion?

    "Selected software update and it says there is no new software for my system."
    You already have all the free updates that are pertinent to Snow Leopard. Software Update only finds and installs free updates to your Apple software — it doesn't do anything with upgrades that must be purchased, like Lion. If you were to purchase and install Lion, Software Update would then find and offer to install all the free updates that are applicable to Lion.
