MBA 13" mid 2011 start up issue after software update

I found that my MBA 13" mid 2011 performs not normal start up. When I'm powering it on after shutdown(or reboot) it start booting with clockwise gear screen but holds on this step for a minute or so and performes power off/power on. After this auto power on it boots normal. So each time after shutdown or reboot it begin to start, reboot, normal start - a kind of second time booting. I performed CMD+R restoration and reinstalled my Lion. All worked fine afterwards unless I performed software update (iTunes update + Thunderbold update + Security update 2011-005). It made second time booting again.

They will fix the software for you. Your alternative is to reinstll Lion yourself. If that's your wish, then:
OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
If there is no Recovery HD on your system, then refer back to the above-linked document.

  • Nokia 5800XM issues after software update

    Hi recently updated my 5800XM to software version 21.0.025 after getting an error saying 'Phone start up failed. Contact retailer.' Retailer has been useless, just told me to update software, so I did. Since the update, phone works, which is great. But internet no longer works. Or any apps which involve the internet! The app opens.. then connects, as it just starts to load, exits with no explanation. Is this a known bug? Is there a way to resolve it?
    Also, screen turns purple and green at random intervals. Any help much appreciated, thanks x

  • Is anybody's finder bar keep reloading by itself? Started to happen after software update on Lion OSX

    After I did a software update on Lion, the finder taskbar has been reloading itself on its own. The icons disappear and load back up again!! HELPPPP!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login 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?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Start-up failed after software update

    Hi,
    I have N73. I decided to update the software today. I downloaded the new Nokia Software Updater, connected the phone by USB and process has started. Everything went fine, phone has been updated successfully. But when I tried to switch it on the message appeared on the screen - Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer. I used v1.3.95 en Software Updater. I do not remember what software version did I have, it began from 3..... and the new software was 4........ Last time I updated the software everything was fine. I think this is the problem with the new software.
    Could you advice please?
    Thank you

    My goodness, 28 days is forever. Do they loan you a replacement phone or something?
    I don't get a replacement phone here. I'm already unhappy if it takes 2 days to repair.

  • Note 4 GPS issues after software update

    After updating to the new software the GPS is no longer working. The software update was realeased on 7/23/15Baseband Version: N910AUCU2COC5Kernel Version: 3.10.40-4160876dpi@SWDD3910#1Build Number: LRX22C.N910AUCU2COC5The GPS signal locks and does not move with the map. It freezes in location then catches up a few seconds to a minute after. It also bounces around in the map. I have tried to restart my phone and even did a factory reset, this did not fix the problem. 

        I know GPS functionality is important glassmann71, especially when traveling. Have you tested more than one navigation or mapping app? Any difficulties with signal when using other, non GPS related apps or functions? Does this happen in all areas that you travel?

  • Start up issues after security update!!

    G4 Tower - Mac OS X - 733mhz.. After a security update 2 days ago i can not get my computer to boot. It comes up to the gray apple screen and just sits there. I put the install dvd in and went to disk utilities, but the hard drive does not show up at all. I tried to boot the computer in target mode from my laptop. It goes into target mode, but the drive never shows up on the screen. I put disk warrior in the laptop and launched it, and it seen the drive as a firewire drive, but the only option was to rebuild. I have a lot of info on the drive, and am hoping that I do not have to go to that extreme. Please help...

    I have always had good luck with DiskWarrior. I've had serious issues and DiskWarrior has always come thru .
    Are you nervous because you have never used DW before, or are you afraid it will hose your system?
    By your report, it kinda sounds as if your hard drive has either failed or on it's last leg.
    I'm guessing you had issues with the drive before installing the update and you did not know it. Updates tend to point out problems in a big way sometimes.
    I run repairs on my hard drive before installing any updates.
    I don't remember, does Jaguar have S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk utility? If so, what does it say about your drive?

  • Start up issues after an update

    I restarted my lenovo g400 yesterday and an update started to install. It kinda took a long time so I kept it plugged in an left it to finish. Now this morning it just won't switch on. There is orange lights flashing but thats it, nothing happens. How can I fix it?

    Which update did you install?
    Right-click where the start orb used to be or the left bottom corner, then open 'Control Panel', and choose 'Windows Updates'.
    Then in the new window, choose 'View update history'.
    Take a screenshot of the new window that appears and post it here. Might be useful to know which update you installed.

    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.

  • MBA 13" Mid-2011, Internal Speaker

    Hi ,
    I have a MBA 13" Mid-2011. Purchased October 2011 from London. I started to have issues with Internal Speakers at June 2012 but it was temporary. Browsed internet, did SMC and PRAM reset, deleted Bazelservice.plist, did several time verify/repair disk permissions. Solved temporarily but problem arised again after a while. I still see sound icon at top right, I can use keyboard shortcuts, can see I increase and decrease sound but no sound over internal speakers.
    Than purchased Moutain Lion, it was good for a while than same thing happened. BTW, during all these time I can hear startup chime, headphones work, infact at sound preferences output is headphones. I did several times insert/remove headphones, I used my Bose headphones too, if apple headphones are problem
    , but it did not change output device to internal speakers. The thing is headphones do not work exactly, when I fully insert it I first hear a little garbage sound  with what is playing in iTunes or VLC but after a while, if headphones is fully inserted I hear echoed and little wrong rhytm sound. If I insert headphones halfway its ok.
    Than I thougt there may be a upgrade issue from Lion to Mountain Lion, so backed up everything, format it and clean install Mountain Lion... No change still no sound....
    I thought its hardware issue and took it Apple Service. They formatted and re-installed Lion and said, there's no hardware issue, infact it passed hardware tests. I said ok but I want to use Mountain Lion, I paid for it, what's the problem with Mountai  Lion and my MBA. It may be a software issue, than I asked, which software is it, you should try one by one... I was suspecting Apple's tech support is very primitive this proved it.
    We upgrade MBA to Mountain Lion at Apple Service and upgraded with patch. Sound still works. Than I took and said, I will install software one by one and will see which software is problem (Its very funny... no command line to show it ??)
    Any way , I restored my data, re-installed software (MS Office 2011, Paragon, Parallels, The Unarchiver, Evernote, VLC) everything is ok. Yesterday night again lost sound and again problem sound over headphones. Tried everthing for 6-7 hours got angry and went out. I choose apple for reliability and availability and recommed it for everyone around me. But I feel cheated now...
    Just before I write this post, it was disconnected from power for 4-5 hours, I open lid, just before login I test sound it worked. I was smiling, I logged in, I was testing sound crazy, still working. Open safari, open discussions... sound was gone again.
    OK this is software problem but how I can find it.. Thru console, any command line input, any help appreciated.
    Thx

  • Lcd Needs to Be replaced on macbook air 13 mid 2012 model a1466. Is an screen from MBA 13 mid 2011 model a1369 also compatible?

    Lcd Needs to Be replaced on macbook air 13 mid 2012 model a1466. Is an screen from MBA 13 mid 2011 model a1369 also compatible?

    Well that's only a possibility, not likely. I'll stick with Mac as much as I can, which I imagine will mostly be ok. If I have to, I'll use their computers in class and do PC homework assignments from home on my more powerful iMac. The only thing I really thought about before buying it was its portability and the fact that I won't be using it for actual programming jobs after school. This is merely to get me through school.

  • Battery performance of MBA 11 (mid 2011 model) - 3 hrs max

    I get max 3 hours out of my MBA 11 (mid 2011). I was using Lion and now upgraded to Mountain lion. I did a clean instal after deleting the hard drive. But no improvement in battery performance. I don't keep multiple applications open, keep screen brightness about 65-70% and keyboard lit 10-20%. Program I use would range from excel, word, iphoto, vlc, mail, etc. 
    Anybody having same battery output?

    I'm having the same problem with my MBA (late 2010). It also is running incredibly hot with fan running continually. Never had those problems with Lion. Wish I hadn't updated. Hopefully they figure it out soon...

  • Mid 2011 iMac continuity issues!

    I have recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite on my Mid 2011 iMac, but continuity doesn't seem to work on it. Is my iMac to old?

    I did install Yosemite in my 27" iMac (Mid 2011) last Friday and after 6 hours of use I got display issues. After the iMac comes back from sleep I get pixelated blocks in random areas that stay on background until open a new app window. Two days ago my computer frozen and got pixelated blocks all over the screen. After restart got the graphics problem box and asked me to report it which I did. I restored Mavericks from my time machine and everything was working fine again. Then yesterday afternoon did a Yosemite clean install in my iMac  and this morning got the same display issues and computer completely frozen. I restored Mavericks AGAIN and everything is working fine so far!!! I'm gonna stay with Mavericks until Apple release a fix for my issue.

  • Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????

    Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????  AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router.  Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro.  Does this sound right?

    If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
    Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
    One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
    One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
    You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
    Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
    Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
    Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
    You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
    Good luck.
