Lost dock after latest software upgrade - HELP

I just updated a whole bunch of stuff include Security, iDVD, Quicktime, iTunes and Mac OS and after the restart, the dock is no longer there. I tried to reset it through the system preferences but still no dock.
And worse when I open a Finder window, all my left menu items such as Application, docs & Music are no longer there (although I can see them in the HD). Even worse, major applications like iTunes, iDVD, iChat & Safari no longer work. I get an error message that they are damaged or incomplete.
Please help.
Thanks.

Now that repairs are done, we could try reappliying the Combo update...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
If that doesn't work then time for an Archive & Install... unless making a New Admin User works for all these problems, which would give us more clues.

You can browse your time machine drive and copy all the files back manually.

HT1414 I lost all my data while doing the latest software upgrade, how do I get it back if I dont have a backup on iTunes?

I lost all my data while doing the latest software upgrade, how do I get it back if I dont have a backup on iTunes?

If you don't have a backup, then all your pics/text/notes are gone.
You can sync back music and app. If you were syncing your contacts with a program in itunes, then you'll get that back.
Not sure why you didn't do a backup, especially prior to doing an upgrade.

Hi norrod
If you hadn't already been to the phone shop I would have said it is most probably a hardware fault in the antenna circuitry of the phone.
Can you remember the phone being dropped at any time?

Can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all addresses after a software upgrade

i can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all ip addresses after a software upgrade on my iMac

1. Does the WiFi icon in preferences have a yellow triangle with an exclamation point?
2. Do you have physical access to the Airport router?
3. WiFi through local cable company - does that mean you have a Cable company device which also has WiFi built-in AND also have an Airport router?
4. Under About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Network, do you see any wifi adapters? Usually a grey wifi icon in the menu bar implies that it has been turned off. If you Turn Wifi On in System Preferences -> Network -> WiFi, does the menu bar icon show you any change in the wifi icon?

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

Have ylu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Why does my iPhone no longer give me the option to connect to my tv via Apple TV when on Safari as it previously did following my latest software upgrade?

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
Same phone, same tv, same broadband network so everything the same so I assumed that it would.....just work!!! :-)
I'm away this weekend but I'm going to turn off and reload the Apple TV to see if that might work.
If not I may be begging your assistance again next week!!!
Have a great weekend.

Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Error message advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

I am the original owner of an ipad and it woke it yesterday requiring me to activate it using the original apple id used to set it up.
It will not accept my apple id and password.
It does not show up in my icloud under devices.
I have tried hard restart (home + power) and itunes recovery.
I am out of ideas and have not found anything for original owners (as opposed to someone who bought it from someone else). I did see some posts from last year where a few people had the same problem and took it back to apple and got a refurbished unit given to them since customer service and engineering couldn't fix it. I was wondering if this was related to the recent ios8 upgrade. Anybody else have ideas or same problem before I hike down to the apple store for mercy?

I`m unable to use my Iphone 4S after updating it to the latest software,PLEASE HELP

It was supposed to update my phone to the latest software but has since stopped working all together and only showing the USB connection and Itunes logo on the black screen when I connect the phone to my computer and it`s been like that for the past 4 hours.I can`t access the phone content,it goes off completely once I disconnect it from my computer;I`m seriously sick and tired of all this software update issues,please help me sort it out.

I talked with Apple support they tried having me restart my comp and reinstall intunes. Which did not work and he basically said that I would need to go the apple store and probably have to get a new phone. Thank god I backed everything up first.

"The Selected Video could not be played" error after latest software update

After the latest software update for the Apple TV I've come across an interesting problem that's driving me crazy.
In a nutshell:
- I can rent movies and watch them.
- I can watch video podcasts.
- I can watch TV shows purchased on iTunes and streamed from my mac
- I can watch TV shows ripped by myself and streamed from my mac
- I can watch movie trailers
- I can watch YouTube videos
- I can watch a movie purchased on iTunes that has been synched to the Apple TV
- I can watch a movie ripped by myself that has been synched to the Apple TV
- I CANNOT watch a movie purchased on iTunes but it's streamed from my mac
- I CANNOT watch a movie ripped by myself that is streamed from my mac
Whenever I'm trying to watch a movie streamed from the mac I get the following error message:
"The selected video could not be played. The format was not recognized"
These are movies I could watch perfectly well before the software update, and I could perfectly watch them streamed from the mac.
Any clues as to what could be going on? Any help or hits will be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Julian

I am having similar problems. Rolling Apple TV back to 2.0 fixes it, but then I deal with the 2.0 bugs.
Basically, I've tried this three times so far: reset back to 2.0. Resync everything I can(I have about 500gb of video which is stored on a USB drive, but I selectively sync part of my library and all my music).
I have about 40gb free on the 160gb ATV. Everything plays fine - synched music, synced video, streaming video. My types of video are:
- iTunes purchased
- Ripped using handbrake to h.264 standard stuff (plays fine on my iphone and computer)
- downloaded h.264 "ipod compatible"
- converted video using iSquint
After upgrading to 2.0.2, initially everything plays fine. But the MOMENT I sync something new to the ATV, then it all falls to crap.
- itunes purchases play fine (synced and streamed
- iSquint converted videos play fine when synced, won't stream "The selected video could not be played" bs)
- Handbrake rips can play if sync'ed, won't stream
- downloaded ipod compatible will usually play and sync.
Doesn't matter if they're movies or tv shows.
*All of these played fine before the "upgrade" (some upgrade).* After the upgrade, and after the first post-upgrade sync, it falls apart.
Talking to Apple support about this results in the usual BS. Unplug your ATV. Resync your purchases, We don't support third party software yada yada.
All I know is, Apple broke something with 2.0.2. Either something to do with a USB drive access, or something to do with one of their stupid new flags in quicktime, or whatever. It needs to be fixed.
Going back, once again, to 2.0 until this is recognized and fixed by Apple.
