S3 not booting up after Software Update

My phone received the software update last week. After that, it started acting up weird and freezing up a lot.
Yesterday, My phone's battery died, I switched to a fully charged battery and it would not turn on.
I checked that both batteries were fully charged by leaving them overnight in a wallcharger.
The phone does not do anything. When I connect the phone to the charger, the red light comes on like if it is charging, and shows the battery loading image. Which shows it at FULL.
I tried to turn on the phone and it will not go pass the SAMSUNG screen without dying again.
Help please.

I did the Alternate Reset, and restored the phone to its Factory settings. When I hit reboot it still doing the same thing. It will not go pass the Samsung or Verizon screen.

MacBook Pro not booting up after Software Update ('prohibited' symbol)

Hi there
I'm having some issues with my (late 2008) MacBook Pro after installing a recent software update: the machine is not booting up, instead displaying the 'prohibited' symbol on the grey bootup screen, thus:
!http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/7215/photovl.jpg!
The back story: this morning I ran Software Update and installed the iWork update, the latest security update and the Snow Leopard Graphics Update. This installation apparently went fine, however on the required reboot the computer displayed the above image, and did nothing.
I booted from the Snow Leopard install DVD, fixed disk permissions and repaired the disc, which Disk Utility claimed was successful; the computer still would not boot.
I then rebooted from the Snow Leopard DVD and restored from my most recent Time Machine backup (dated a few days ago, before the software update). This, still, did not do the trick.
As I have never seen this particular issue before, I'm at a loss as to what to try next, partly as I don't really know what the symbol is signifying. Any assistance that can be offered would be very, very useful.
Cheers in advance!

Thanks for that, I did go looking for it but couldn't find it.
Unfortunately, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM didn't work. Will a reinstallation of OS X make a difference, bearing in mind I've already restored from a Time Machine backup? (I don't know if those clone everything or don't include system files).

Macbook Pro 7.1 not booting up after Software update

Hello everyone,
I have a problem, but first some context?
I recently got my mom's old Macbook Pro(7.1) with Intel's 2.4 Ghz C2D and Nvidia 320M graphics. A small upgrade from my 2009 MBP(5.5) but is in much better shape than my old machine. In that unit(5.5) I used a 40 GB SSD as a boot drive and a 640 GB Platter drive for general storage, and removed the optical drive, as I did not use it very often.
Well, now I transplanted both drives into the 7.1 MBP, but the system will get stuck at the grey screen. I then proceeded to backup all my data, and wipe both drives multiple times and tried to installs on a clean system.
I replaced the aftermarket ram I had with the factory sticks, put the factory drive and the Super Drive back in. Loaded up Snow Leopard via DVD on an empty drive.
It boots and runs just fine. So I put in the SSD to try it out. It loads OSX Snow Leopard just fine again. I go do a software update to 10.6.8, and on reboot to finalize, I get stuck again at the grey screen. The progress wheel freezes, and I am stuck until I do a forced shut-down.
Safe mode gets me nowhere, AHT does not work, Verbose mode freezes after 10 seconds or so and I have also reset the SMC and the NV/PRAM multiple times.
I am at a loss. I have a nearly pristine MBP that for some odd reason will not work for me in the slightest, despite my best efforts at attempting to diagnose the problem.
Note that all componenents that I listed,(SSD, Larger HDD, Upgraded Ram etc.) All worked flawlessly in my previous MacBook Pro.
Does one hardware generation make that much of a difference for an OS and for upgrades that clearly work in other Apple devices?

darkrider92,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as the one that you got from your mom. Were you able to install the 10.6.8 update successfully onto the factory drive? Were you using the factory RAM when you tried to install the 10.6.8 update on the SSD?
Have you checked the Web site of the SSD’s manufacturer, to see if there’s a firmware update available for the SSD?
You can download the 10.6.8 update outside of Software Update from Apple here; in case you need to try to install this update several times, running it from your local disk would be more convenient than waiting for it to download again.

Can't Boot Up After Software Update -- Advice Appreciated.

Hi all,
I've experienced what seems to be a relatively common problem -- after installing the latest Tiger software update, my machine can't boot up. If I try to log in, it just freezes on the blue background screen. Holding 'shift' to enter Safe Mode just makes the computer shut down. I've tried the advice from Apple listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
I just got a variety of messages, all of which say effectively the same thing: 'Macintosh HD cannot be repaired.'
What can I do from here, bearing in mind I don't have an install disk. Is there anything I can do without it?
If I were to borrow a friend's Install Disk (they have Leopard), could I delete everything on my computer and re-install Leopard, and have it work? Or will the problems with my iMac carry over to a new installation?
(I suspected something was wrong the morning before my iMac was able to boot -- I was getting 'page in/page out' errors when I tried to extract .rar files, or move large files to an external HD, so thankfully I took the chance to make back-ups of everything).
Any hints or ideas would be unbelievably appreciated -- I'd hate to have to buy a new iMac (for the expense, not because I don't want a new one).

You can erase everything and start over, but you should Zero the Disk first, but also you need an Install Disc, you can buy Sno/10.6 online, for Leo/10.5 you have to call Apple, who may also supply you with a replacement disk for the original if you have your Serial# handy.
For other sources of Tiger/10.4, See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9755670&#9755670
You might try this a few times to see if you can fix your Disk...
Tough without a Tiger Disk, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup. Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(space between fsck and -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found: ** The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK  If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message: *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***   Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

MacBook will not turn on after software update

I updated my MacBook with the newest software update, and now when I boot it up, it stays on the white window with the Apple logo and spinning wheel. After about a minute, it shuts itself down.
What do I do?

Mine is doing the same thing, I only had 3 updates, and it was frozen in the middle of one, so I shut it off. Although I shouldn't have done that, my computer should still be able to turn back on. I happened to read the updates for once and one was for my HP printer, and the other two were firmware updates, I don't remember specifically what they were though.

Lenovo G780 will not boot up after windows update

My friend's G780 will no longer boot up after installing a windows update, one for which she cant remember, and ever since she updated it, the lenovo boot screen will appear, then turns black, and stays black. It will, occasionally, give her the option to go to the "windows did not boot properly" screen, giving her options to refresh the pc, restore the pc, advanced options, etc.
Changing boot priorities, using "repair" did not work, and neither did trying to find a system image.
She is unsure what to do, and I am as well.
Any recomendations?

hi connorjacob,
Thanks for Posting!
     If you can try and get the screen again where it gave you options like Refresh PC, Restore the PC and Advanced option.
      Choose Advanced option to pull up   a new page with options
    With the options, You can try:
Try Selecting System Restore and see if you can find a restore point prior to to insalling the said updates.
Select Windows Start up Settings and Find two options that can help
              - Boot to Safe Mode (See if the computer boots in safe mode)
              - Last Known good configuration
Let me know your findings
Hope this helps
Cheers!

SAFARI NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATE

WHEN I GO TO A PAGE IN SAFARI, I HOLDS TRYING TO FIND THE PAGE. A FEW MOMENTS LATER IT STATES THAT I'M NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (which I am). WHEN I REFRESH THE PAGE, IT IMMEDIATELY OPENS UP. THIS STARTED TWO DAYS AGO RIGHT AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR SAFARI. SOMETHING VERY BUGGY HERE. HELP

User "Bee" gave this solution. I tried it and worked for me, although Safari is loading very slowly.
Good luck!
See if you have any of the following files. Just follow the path.
HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
If you do, trash them and restart Safari.

Macbook will not power up after software updates

I got my White macbook last week.
This afternoon, I ran a software update which had 6 items including iTunes 8 and OS X updates to 10.5.5.
I left the software update running and upon my return, the Macbook had powered off and I could not power it up again.
Tried everything in the manual and finally called my reseller for an appointment.
I am very surprised that this happened.
Can anyone provide a similar experience or tell me what may have happened?
Thank you.
RJ

iTunes 8 has been known to be killing hard drives on macbooks, so i think that the problem is that your hard drive is toasted/dead. Since its only a week old apple could probably replace it for free for you, but theres a big chance all your data is lost. Also try removing the battery and putting it back in, then start it up. If it starts up but all you see is a folder w/ a question mark it means its corrupt. I would take it to the reseller or an apple genius to check it out (at the apple store)

Iphoe.ne 4s not switching on after software update

I updateed my handset yesterday, after the update had been completed the handset told me to connect to itunes, which i did, itunes then told me the handset was in need of a restore, submitted to the restore only to get a message appearing on screen that itunes was unable to restore phone, its stuck now on a continuous loop of showing the apple icon and turning off. I have tried several times to hold the lock and home buttons in to no avail. It wont connect to itunes at all now either, and when i put it onto the charger it heats up at the back but thats it. Do i need to bring it instore to be fixed?

If the above doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Satellite M60 will not boot up after BIOS update through windows

Hi all,
I was updating my bios on my M60 with the latest bios version and I was following the windows flashing procedure (the recommended one) and it blue screened and dumped. Now the laptop wont boot, wont even post. Just a big dead brick :(
I'm fairly proficient with hardware (I'm a software engineer) but I do not know how to reflash a laptop when this sort of thing happens. Is there a trigger bios reset on board? Is there anything I can do my self? If I take it back to my dealer how likely is it they will be able to reflash the bios in house? (Its a fairly large dealer in the Toronto area)
This being a work system I need the solution that has the smallest time impact - cost is not too big an issue.
Any help would be grand,
thanks in advance.

Hello Kristan
According to your problem description I presume the BIOS chip is damaged and unfortunately you can not do much alone. Please contact Toshiba service and explain them the situation. They will explain you everything you must know and you can talk with them about costs and the time they need for notebook repairing.
Bye

Smart Actions not working properly after software update

My Razr updated 2 days ago and since then my Smart Actions are not working properly.
I have my Work action set to turn the volume down when I'm at a certain GPS. It shows that "Work" is active, but doesn't turn the volume down.
Also, there are times (since I've owned the phone) that it will not connect to the network after coming off a Wifi Connection without rebooting the phone. I took it into a Verizon store and they did a hard reset, and that fixed it for a time, but it started doing it again.
Any help appreciated.

Hi mcclainkb, Let's make sure your phone works as you expect it to! Have you tried removing the Smart Action and setting it back up again? Are your other GPS services working as normal? After the hard reset performed in the store did you install all of the same application that you had before?
Thank you,

Ipods not showing up after software update

Since updating to itunes 8.0.2.20, I cannot access my ipods. I have three. When I plug them into my desktop machine (XP home), I hear the sound that indicates a new USB device, and the ipods will show that they're connected and charging.
But: they don't show up in itunes, so I cannot add or delete anything to them.
Please advise.

Have you tried going to the App Store and finding the update there? Or getting the updater from the Apple Downloads site: OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update
