PB fails after software update frezze, need help, help!!!!

I have a 15" Powerbook G4 i ran software update, After installing the new ichat (w/video) ask me to conect the camera, wich i dont use, somewhere in that process it froze having to force quit the update. After that i turn off the PB. Next day i try to turn it on, and nothing happens, I hit the power button, heard the hard drive spin up for a few seconds, then a little squeak, then nothing. I tried to power up with option-command-p-r. Same result. I powered on and inserted my Sturt up disk and run the utility, tell me that is ok, restart it, nothing. Inserted the hardware test cd, same result, I've also tried removing and swapping the RAM. I only have the grey screen with Apple logo and the dial thing moving. thats it!

Let me introduce you to your new best friend, the knowledge base.

AFP authentication fails after software updates

Hi,
I'm running a 10.4.7 server configured as an Open Directory Master. It is the only server and is mainly used for AFP and SMB file sharing. (No client shell logins).
For some time now (since 10.4.3) I'm finding that after I apply a Software Update* our AFP users can no longer log in to AppleShare. They can mount the same volumes via SMB, but cannot authenticate via AFP until I have them manually reset their password (even to the old value) in Workgroup Manager.
The ApplePasswordServer.Server.log file shows:
DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect)
(It's definitely not a case of mis-typed passwords, as these errors are generated by saved keychain logins...and the same keychain logins work again after the old password has been re-entered again in Workgroup Manager).
Has anybody seen any problems like this before and have any ideas how to fix it?
* I haven't been able to narrow down specifically which types of Software Updates yet.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

It is one user per sharepoint for personal directories on the server. Many of the users do have access to various other sharepoints however for common projects, etc.
(None of the share points are in the sub-directories of any other sharepoints either. ie. No sharepoint has an ancestor directory that is also a sharepoint.)
When the problem occurs, all AFP users lose access to all AFP sharepoints however.
The permissions on the sharepoints themselves are ok as:
- users can access the same sharepoint with SMB
- when the user re-enters their password, AFP access is restored, without needing to change the permissions whatsoever.
I hope that is a bit clearer! Appreciate your time in responding.

Reboot fails after software update - what now?

I've just performed a regular software update. I think it included the following 4 items:
- iPhoto 08 (enhanced printing etc.)
- Raw module update
- 10.5.5 update
- ??? don't remember this one
Three of the updates required a reboot so I opted to reboot immediately after installation.
Unfortunately I do not get beyond the white screen. I don't even get to the apple logo screen? Is there any way to restore without doing a reinstallation of the OS?
This is the first time I'm running into serious issues like this
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Olaf

Yes, I stopped doing multiple updates, esp. those requiring a reboot. I do the one-at-a-time now, and for the major updates, I do them manually from the Apple download page.
You have what I call a "stuck" update and what usually clears it is a safe boot.
Boot into the safe mode by holding down the shift key during boot. At the login screen just click restart and see if the system boots normally (it usually does) and see if all the DLs installed.
Post back either way. We never give up

Restart Fails after Software Update

For the past few weeks (I cannot tie down when this started), after carrying out any download that requires a restart through Software Update when I click on the Restart Button the menu bar disappears but the machine will not restart. If I leave it for a minute I get the message that restart has timed out as software update failed to quit. From here on in I cannot do a shutdown or restart from the Apple Menu, I have to do a hard shutdown by powering off. When I power back on the restart happens normally but no software is installed. After I logon I can then select restart from the Apple Menu and I then get the dialog box that gives me the option to install updates and restart or just restart. Selecting Install Updates and restart then works as normal. After restarting again logoff, shutdown and restart options from the Apple menu all work as normal, until I do a software update that requires a restart..... Anyone any ideas on how to fix this? It only happens on my MacBook Pro (migrated originally from Tiger), not on my relatively new iMac which was Leopard from new.

Exactly the same issue too on a iMac G5 upgraded from 10.4, started few weeks ago, very annoying. Makes the usually painless updates a lot more painful.

Task Sequence Fails after Software Updates Install Step - Lenovo X240

Hi All.
I'm having a strange issue trying to run an OSD on Lenovo X240 machines.
After the Software Update step, it reboots as expected, then exits the task sequence and sends you to the windows logon screen.
Review the SMSTS.log, it appears the reason is:
Found network adapter "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" with IP Address 0.0.0.0.
TSMBootstrap 24/07/2014 15:07:10
1824 (0x0720)
Found network adapter "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I218-LM" with IP Address 0.0.0.0.
TSMBootstrap 24/07/2014 15:07:10
1824 (0x0720)
Full log file:
SMSTS.log
If I remove the Software Updates step, the task sequence completes without any problems.
Don't think it is a driver error, as above, every other step completes without issue. Other models use the same task sequence (including software updates step) without any problems.
Any ideas? I'm completely stuck.
Thanks!

Looks like I am deploying KB2965788 which requires two restarts.
Thanks all for your help.
P.S. - I periodically update the base image with a build & capture to include the latest updates, so in the times between this I deploy the software updates as part of the task sequence.
I've found the offline servicing to be very flaky, have attempted to use it many times and found it either a) doesn't apply the updates to the image b) corrupts the image.

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.

Calendar restore to bb fails after software update

I did the current update on my bb and then during the restore process, the calendar will not reinstall. I get a message that 'database was not restored' I'm using BB Desktop Manager for Mac to sync my BB.
Any suggestions how to fix this?

Sorry to hear this however what you can do if you have media files backed up that you need is to locate the .dbk backup file and change the extension to .zip or .rar and then extract the contents

E90 restore of backup fails after software update

after upgrading to the latest firmware yesterday I had to discover that restoring the backup does not work.
there are applications missing, and what's worse - the whole calender data has not been restored.
any hints how I can get to that data? i've alredy tried to find a way to decompose the backup file (any hints on that - a php program I found doesn't properly work)
this is really flawed - I suspect it may have to do with the fact I had self-signed stuff on the device?
the lonelycatgames software was lost too, have they forgotten to include a correct backup_registration.xml file ??
your disappointed - martin

I recieved my registration key for Noki and I was able to extract all of my 891 calendar entries from the .nbu backup file to .txt, .xls, and .vcs formats (thank god).
The Excel format is pretty useful since atleast I can easily view all of my upcoming entries.
But I'd still want to be able to somehow import these entries back to my phone all at once.
Anyway even for people without this problem I'd recommend Noki for anyone who has lots of important notes in his phones Memo or lots of important calendar entries and who would like to get readable backups of these on their PC.
You could even make your own web interface for viewing your notes or calendar entries if you exported the data from a nokia backup to xls. You could use the excel file with PHP or you could import the excel file in an SQL database with phpMyAdmin (or convert it to CSV first with Excel or OpenOffice Calc and then import to SQL).

My keyboard failed to function after software updates

It would help us to know which comp model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.

Iphone 4 locked after failed latest software update

iphone 4 locked up after a failed latest software update
now it is not showing up or recognized by itunes.
Any suggestions. or is it the crap apple software?
Thanks - robert

As for the problem and help, I just stopped by AT&T and they took care of it.
As for my disparaging remarks, it is the way I feel and felt like voicing it at the moment. As I recall this is still a free country (Obama thankfully has not been able to screw everything up) and I personally have never liked apple products or software. That’s my personal opinion, it is crap. This particular phone is supplied by corporate and I will get a different phone as soon as request is approved. MS software has always been much better than apple products in my experience and at a much better price.
Best Regards,
Robert

You have to restore the iPad by syncing to the original computer that you synced to.

Application to restart computer when needed after software updates

We have a business requirement to not force a computer restart immediately after software updates have been installed. What possible solutions are there to detect if a restart is needed on the client and inform the user to restart, if nothing happens force
a restart within a few days.

Hi,
Windows Update itself have this configuration. You could push the corresponding group policy to achieve it:
Locate to the following path:
Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update
find No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
entry.
For more detailed information, please read this tutorial:
