More info please.
Is this a newer Intel iMac? You are in a forum for older PowerPC iMacs. What update? There hasn't been any updates for PowerPC Macs in years.
Please be more specific with your Mac issues, please.

After installing 10.7.2 update the OS does not boot.Any thoughts????

After installing 10.7.2 update the OS does not boot. I tried to recover from recovery hd disk but after 3 attempts I am still not able to download lion! Any thoughts????

Try the Lion Community, and bookmark the notebook community (this is not).
You will probably need to provide others with more information too.
Cloned backup? TimeMachine? using Disk Utilityh to repair Lion from the recovery partition (comnand r on startup)

HT2357 I accidently deleted all of my updates and they're not coming back. Is there any quick way to get these updates active again?

I accidentally deleted all of my updates and they're not coming back. I haven't been able to make any updates since 2006. I have a log of my past updates but I cannot seem to get them active again. Is there any easy way to get these updates active again?
This was a while ago back in 2006 but from what I can remember I actually deleted/permanently removed these updates from my list of updates. I tried keeping all the updates except for two that I did not need and somehow deleted all of the updates I wanted to keep. I've tried reseting my ignored updates but that does not bring back the updates. If i delete the two that I originally attempted to remove - it only brings those two back. I hope there is still some way to get these updates back. I appreciate any help that anyone is able to give me.
Thanks!

I have problem with iphone4....it closed and it does not open

my iphone closed and it does not open

Hello,
Thanks for your quick answer. What is DFU mode? My problem is that the iPhone does not respond at all.
I am trying with the cable of the iPod now, but still the same: the laptop does not detect the iPhone and the iPhone does not turn on. I think the iPhone cable works because when I connect it to the power as if I was charging the battery, the Apple logo appears on the screen but that's all. I only have one computer at home.
Cheers,

Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO does not boot

Hello everyone
Yesterday I tried to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 but I got stuck because I have an Intel SSD inside and it seems that MacOSX 10.8 doesn't have the right driver on board. So I downloaded the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool 2.0.6 ISO, burned it on a CD with DiscUtility and tried to boot from it.
The problem is that it doesn't boot from the CD. It just ends with the blinking/flashing question mark folder.
Luckily I have a second MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 from work. Just out of couriosity I inserted the disk inside this MacBook and tried to boot from it.
Everything went fine. I saw the Intel Firmware Updater etc.
So now my question: What is going on with my first mac? Why does it NOT boot the CD?
What I need to say at this point: I burned the CD with the MacBook from work. Could this be the reason?
hope someone can help me
Best Regards
krebbl

yes that's right. Unfortunatly I don't have a Windows PC.
But like I said, my second MacBook Pro boots from this CD and shows me the firmware updater. My first MacBook with the Intel SSD does not.
And like in the post here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57575091-263/intel-x25-ssd-incompatible-wit h-os-x-10.8.3/ it should be no problem.
Are there other ways to boot an ISO file?

Software updates- Security&safari 3.1 update... does not boot

hi everyone,
i'm trying to help my room mate out with a problem. he has a mac mini intel 1.66ghz. he does have 2gb ram installed by a apple certified tech a month ago and it is problem free.
here's the dirty stuff. so first off, he has a western digital My book home edition 320gb usb/fire external with his files on it. when he restarted his computer after coming back home for the weekend, the error came up that that went system error, and it could not find certain files related to the mybook. it almost seems like the data was corrupted or deleted, he did not move or touch any files with the hard drive. i know there have been issues with the quality and hard drives failing particularly my books.
so the computer worked we tried to unplug ang plug back in the HD. also restarted the computer.
he had to also reinstall office 04, that went fine and worked. we also noticed that the printer he had connected could not be found, in sys. pref. we could not add the printer to the preferred list and it was searching for drivers on the bottom with a grey spinning wheel.
we gave up on trying to work on those two problems. he was working on a worpad doc and a powerpoint. finished, saved, and then installed the security updates for safari (3.1) and also i believe the 3/18 security update. we did the needed restart and then the mac got stuck on the grey apple boot screen with the spinning grey wheel.
we ran the disk utility, verified, there was a problem it was an incorrect volume, or piece on the internal HD(can't remember what the exact error on the HD was) so repaired it and it said it was ok. ran a verification again and it said it was ok.
so we try the restart and the screen is still stuck on the grey/apple logo/ spinning wheel.
...help!
so could this be an issue with the software update? is it the problem with the disk repair? we ran it a few times to verify and it said ok each time. we did not verify permissions...dont know if thats possible in the DU on the tiger cd.

First item: You should always repair permissions and verify (and if necessary repair by booting from another drive and using Disk Utility) any volume before doing updates. Also repair permissions after doing an update. Finally, I always clone (100% bootable backup) my drive before running any updater just in case something doesn't work.
I'm not expert enough to tell you what those extensions do, but I'd guess that because you didn't run the updater on a properly repaired drive that something didn't get installed properly and that's what's giving you trouble. In that case re-running the installer on the now hopefully repaired drive might work to install those components correctly. Again, remember to repair permissions before and after.

Instead of trigger example - INSERT works but UPDATE and DELETE does not?

changed "-1" values to "1000" in the where clause of delete and update statements.
it was a copy/paste mistake, sorry for that.

What table do you process in your procedures ? You don't use DBLINK to
reference remote table in your procedures.
Seems, you have table "TT" in "HR" schema too.
Look:

Tried the itunes update and it did not download properly. Now I get an error 7 message and also a msvcr80.dll missing message. help?

I tried to download the last itunes update 1/22/14 and it did not download correctly. I can't access itunes at all. Tried to uninstall and download from website but I get error 7 (Windows 126) message and also msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer message.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

After updating the system does not boot anymore!

I made an usual update with 'pacman -Syu' and since I saw a kernel update I rebooted...
After reboot the lilo menu appears, it autoselects arch after 2 seconds, it appears
boot:
loading arch........................... .................................
nothing more. No errors, no messages at all!
It is the same also using the fallback.
What happened? Can I do something or I have to reinstall arch from zero?
edit: typo
edit2: it can be related to the fact the I have /boot partition and lilo in different disks?
Last edited by ezzetabi (2007-06-03 18:31:34)

I see, so now I have to start the machine with the arch CD. Mount the drives, chroot the directory where I mounted and starting lilo should solve.
Thanks everyone.
edit: it worked! Thanks everyone.

After 10.8.2 update my mac does not boot !

I stay on the gray screen.
With the recovery disk i try now to reinstal a frech 10.8.2 !
Thanks Apple !

If your problem is linked to the PARAGON Kext, you don't need your back-up. Just boot in save mode (Shift key), download your PARAGON Product and run the uninstaller from the Paragon Disk image.
To see if your problem is related to Parogon, first boot in console mode (command s) and after 5 lines the kernel is blocked by the Paragon Kext (you could read it on the screen).
For another issue boot on the recovery (option) and then chose your backup.

HT5887 I am wondering if somebody else have problems with Airdrop, I just configured the option and it does not work. My friends can see me, but I can not see them.

I am sad, I have days trying to use Airdrop, my friends can see me, but I can not see them. I turned on my Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and I selected the option "available for ALL".... and nothing. I can receive photos from my friends... mean It work for them. I just restarted the phone to the basics configuration but it does not work, my phone still does not recognize my contacts.

warranty will cover it. Did you try only by changing the power adapter or did you change both cable and power adapter?
if you did the latter, see this page: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
you'll be able to contact Apple Support from there.

21" iMac getting white screen and does not boot up

Hi All!
This is my first time to post here but have been using Mac OS since 2009.
I am having issues with my Mid 2011 iMac 21". I keep getting a white screen and it does not boot up.
I am a bit technical so I have done all the necessary steps as below:
1. Powercycle the system (Shutdown, unplug for 10 seconds and replug) = No go
2. Reset NVRAM several times = No go
3. Went to Safe Boot = Vertical white stripes on blue screen appears
4. Tried booting on Recovery Disk = Vertical white stripes on blue screen appears
I'm thinking my video card is faulty now.
Any help guys? I hope my hard drive is not fried
What's worse, my 3 year extended warranty just expired last June and it's only been 3 months

First i can't send it back becuase it didnt have a warranty i purchased it on ebay. second the guy didnt send the install disks with it as he promised i have tried to follow up with him with no luck so hes been reported to ebay. and due to current buisiness expenses cant afford the new software. is there anything else i can do to at least boot the thing so i can figure out whats wrong with it. and has anybody experienced this before and if so how was the issue resolved. soooo frustrated as buisiness is at a stand still till this machine works. p.s.it has osx leopard latest version.

I updated maps and blocked, does not start
Solved!
Go to Solution.

as I can see the problem is caused by the update 2 / 2 anna
must do a hard reset update 1 / 2 and 2 / 2 anna, then go to nokia store and download "ovi maps" and install
reappears update 2 / 2 anna, do not update, otherwise the problem will return.

Problem: My iMac went through a recent update and it does not boot back up now. Any solutions?
