Security update installed then black screen

I installed a security update on my air iPad, seemed to download ok, then screen went black and I have not been able to recover normal screen - answers please help

Try a reset.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds.  With luck, you would see an Apple logo.
If that fails, place your iPad into recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.

  • MSI GE70 botting and then black screen :(

    Hello!
    I recently got my laptop back from service repair, because it had Hard drive problems, and HDD was changed with new one.
    But today, when I was playing a game, the PC froze, so i turned it off and now, I get to windows bootup sequence, and then black screen :(.
    Is there anything that could be done, or I would need to send it back to service repair and wait anohter month to get it back?
    Kind regards.

    Same problem here. The update killed my video. Tried rebooting three times. The audio is fine. I hear the reboot audio. I hear clicks when I press buttons on the remote. But, there's a blank screen.

  • Security Update Install Error

    Help!!! Software Update keeps telling me that I need to load Security Update 2009-005 (Intel) ver. 1.0, but every time I try to install it I get all the way to the end and this message pops up:
    The update "Security Update 2009-005 (Intel)" can't be installed" Sorry, an unexpected error occurred. The Installer package has been moved to the trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
    I have tried about 20 times and get the same result every time! I cannot go to the iTunes store in iTunes because it says I need version 4.0.5 of Safari, but I cannot load that Safari version because it says I need the latest security update.
    Can someone please help me and tell me how to get my stupid security update installed? Thanks, in advance.

    Updating
    Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
    Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
    Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.

    I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
    Repair permissions again afterward.
    It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
    The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
    Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

  • When Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash (-) stuck.

    when Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash and I think its the press any key screen but on a Mac its Just Flashing Dash .
    I press every button going and nothing happens.
    and my only option is to turn off the mac to boot back in OSX.
    MacBook trying to Install Windows XPSP3 disk.

    I too am having the same problem. I do not know about the host of this thread, but I have been using a brick and mortar version of XP SP2 stand alone so it is not bundled with a computer like Dell, HP, etc.
    I have run it before just fine but it was time to reformat the drive, 0'd everything out, reinstalled 10.5.2, upgraded everything, repaired permissions and them ran Boot Camp. Put in the XP disc and all I get is the flashing dash mark in the upper left hand corner. I actually have 2 legal versions of XP SP2 stand alone and the same result on both discs so it has to be something with the partioning? I also redid the partitioning at various sizes all with the same effect. No luck.
    Any new thoughts anyone?

  • Ipod touch 5th generation battery screen with lightning bolt locked cannot charge or restart.  ive tried everything from new cables attempting to shut down but stays at screen for a few seconds then black screen again over and over

    screen locked up and shows the battery with low red and ligtning bolt and cannot hard shut down or reset just stays there for a few seconds then black screen. hooked up to computer and itunes doesnt recognize it or even shows that it is pluged in.  looked and made sure nothing is broken or metal in ligting port or on cable which would prevent it from accepting a charge. ipod is only a month old and seems like a waste of money if its so hard to try to get an explanation of why this is ive been tryning to get an answer from apple for a week now.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • While loging in my Facebook account apple logo shwed up then blue screen then black screen and my phone didnt work ever since . what is that

    I searching my Facebook account when apple logo showed up then blue death scree then black screen after all white and black stripped screen . It happened for a few times the the phone went off and didn't work ever since . What was that ?
    And how can it be solved ?

    Back up and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.
    For the charging problem:
    Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

  • Security Update 2014-002 Black boxes and screen sticking

    Today after installing the security update 2014-002 on mavericks i am getting black boxes or black backgrounds when shifting screens. In Safari when i am scrolling down it is behaving the same way displaying text and pictures stuck wile moving. Is there any way to get one step back or to delete the new update. Please, help me solving this issue. I shouldn't had updated. The updates are so unreliable.
    I went to safe mode and it becomes worse in safe mode.

    I connected the charger many times it didn't worked. Yes exactly it stopped charging. Then i tried again and again removing and moving the pin and it worked suddenly. i wasn't able to imagine that i purchased it in 2014 January. How it is possible that the brand new and so expensive item behave like this.
    The problem i was facing is solved too after this behavior. As soon as my laptop started charging i switch from one screen to another right/left dashboard. Scroll up/down in safari. It is moving the same as before amazing fast.
    I didn't installed or uninstalled anything as others did. I didn't understood at all how come the charger was stopped charging and how such awkard problems happened that made the laptop so slow that it behaves like it is dying or maybe something went wrong with the graphic card.
    Thanks for helping.

  • Installed OS X Tiger / Security Update / Stuck at Blue Screen

    Hello,
    I need help. This is for one of the computers at work. We are doing a system overhaul and I needed to upgrade the G5 PowerPC. We bought the Tiger install disk. I backed up all the files to an external drive and decided to just to a complete wipe of the hard drive. I chose the Erase and Install option.
    No problems. I did not install any other software. I did not change any settings. The only thing that I did was run the software updates. There were some security updates and one for quicktime and the one the OS X and a few others.
    It was after the update that I begin to have problems. I was having some freeze up errors yesterday and then I did the whole process over again. So I thought it was done and then this morning I come in and turn it on and it gets stuck at the blue screen with the pointer. I ran Disk Utility and there are no bad sectors. It repaired some permissions but still no fix. I checked the login startup items and there is nothing there except an iTunes helper application. Like I said, I have installed nothing else except the update. I ran the hardware test and everything is good.
    I am going to Erase and Install again. But I need to know if there is something wrong with the updates. A few people seem to be pointing fingers at Quicktime. But I don't want to install updates without knowing what is going on. Can someone help me. Thanks.

    We are doing a system overhaul and I needed to upgrade the G5 PowerPC. <--
    Hi Jay,
    I don't know if I can help but I'm also going through Tiger installation problems on a G4. But first:
    What version of OS X was on the G5 when you began the upgrade? Panther?
    Was it the retail DVD in the black and silver box? This version will install on any Mac G3, G4 or G5. Or did it come from another Mac? Non native installs can cause problems.
    I backed up all the files to an external drive and decided to just to a complete wipe of the hard drive. I chose the Erase and Install option. <--
    If an earlier version of OS X was already on it, it would've been better to do an Archive & Install, which would preserve your files and settings. A&I is in the Options when the button is clicked below the Erase and Install icon. It sounds like your finder can't find the system you installed. Erasing may have done this. The beauty of Archive & Install is that, it installs a fresh copy of OS X on a preserved software that have left a warm bed for them not an empty cold bed system. Anyway that's my take on it. The best way to "Erase and Install" is with the install DVD by booting up from it. Hold down the C key while you boot up. Then go to Disk Utilities in the menu and click on it and follow the steps to Erase and Install. Then follow the steps to place a new system on the hard drive. But go with Archive & Install. It works.
    I am going to Erase and Install again. But I need to know if there is something wrong with the updates. <--
    Others have reported problems after updates. Were they Combo updates? The software pages have smaller versions of Tiger on the Tiger getting started pages in the Apple website. But IMO it's not the updates. Your system needs them and will update what's current. Like I said I don't know for sure but Erase and Install may lie at the core of the problem. If possible try to get a version of Panther (10.3) and go from there. AND try to find out what version of OS X was on the G5 when you took it over. But to be sure, if you can, call a certified Mac dealership and see if they can help by answering questions. He may ask you if you have Apple Care their insurance program. If the warranty is still good you can get some repair work done if necessary.
    Report back after your trip.

  • Latest security update and then ... nothing

    Hi,
    There's been a security update waiting to be downloaded for a few days now. Today, I finally installed it. The Mini asked me to accept a reboot, which I did. That was an hour ago. As I write, the Mac has a black screen with dmesg like contents.
    +BSD process name corresponding to current thread: launchd+
    +Mac OS version:+
    10D573
    +Kernel version:+
    +Darwin kernel ...+
    +System uptime in nanoseconds: 827388646882686+
    And that's where it's been for an hour.
    Is this one of those long updates, or has something gone wrong? If I cycle the power, is the brown stuff going to hit the fan?
    Thanks.

    Something has gone wrong.
    It sounds like you may be in Single User Mode. Is there a prompt on the screen where you can type?
    If so type fsck -fyremember to leave a blank space before the "-fy".
    This will run a file system check, like Repair Disk and repair any problems if it can. If you run into errors run fsck multiple times until it reports OK.Then, type rebootreboot  to restart to OS X.
    If that's not the case, then a hard shutdown would be your only recourse.

  • Mac Pro 2008 won't boot from install disc - black screen

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new hard drive to replace the original that came with my Mac Pro 2008.  I was able to format the new drive using Disk Utility. I am now at the point where I need to install OS X onto the new drive, but the computer refuses to boot from the disc. The disc is recognized by the computer (I can access the disc and am able to use the BootCamp applications, etc.) but I just get a black screen when trying to boot directly from the disc. The computer boots fine otherwise.
    I have tried the following:
    I have tried using both the gray install disc that came with the computer and the Snow Leopard Install DVD disc.
    I have tried booting using the "C" key and the "option" key but still receive a black screen following the chime (I've held these down for several minutes).
    I have tried restarting from either install disc using the Bootcamp Assistant.
    I have tried running the installation software to get it to restart from the disc.
    I have tried a combination of the drives, i.e. trying to boot from the discs with just the new drive installed, just the original drive installed, and with both in bay1 and 2.
    Everything results in the computer starting up, hearing the chime, and then nothing..just black screen. I have the original drive partitioned with BootCamp with OSX Snow Leopard and Windows 7 installed (I don't know that that matters).
    I am at a loss as to what to try next. It doesn't seem like the superdrive because it is recognizing the disc, it just won't boot from it.
    Any help is appreciated, thank you.

    Clone should be a must  and easy to do and learn (learn by doing! 2)
    6800 would 'qualify' as 5x70 series flashed etc and same rule: 10.6.5
    In the past there was 10.4.6, 10.5.6, but not 10.6.6 - even though strong need for such a DVD.
    10.6.8 DVD would  be excellent
    Lion or ML - buy, download, make an installer flash card would be what I would do at this point.
    Then keep both - dual boot as you learn and test and see what ML does and waht you had that required Rosetta to support PowerPC. See www.roaringapps.com about that.
    With Carbon Coyp Cloner - was share, now commercial, great utility been around since 10.2.2 at least - this time 2003. 10 yrs.
    You can clone the system folders, you can even selectively choose. You can skip copy of most of your home account and do that separately to another drive if  you want.
    Clone Windows with Paragon or WinClone and use Windows 7 or 8 DVD to do a system repair (automatic) or to edit the BCD file. It can and should - and all you do is boot Windows 7 DVD w/ only the one drive present and go at it. Piece of cake. But yes, Windows gets fussy if you change or remove or move. BCD to the rescue. A proper program for cloning like Paragon's "Clone OS" meant for going from disk drives to SSDs, knows that and how to do it.
    Back to how to clone etc:
    Clone
    Disk utility has RESTORE which will also clone your system but not the Lion Recovery partition. Oddly  Apple did not 'endorse' making bootable clone of the system which works too but most choose Carbon Copy Cloner - it works more consistently; it allows for smart update of the backup volume. Both can backup to a sparse disk image if desired.

    The DVD is dependent on your hardware. And your hardware changed. The drivers for the 5780 and 6xxx are bundled in the OS and lacking. Minimum build thing.
    Put the new drive anywhere you want. Does not matter. Can move it later. Can be drive bay 0-3 or a Firewire external or under the DVD drive.
    When you clone pull the old drive and boot from the newly cloned.
    After that keep a backup clone around all the time. Takes less than 10 minutes to do a smart update to copy just the changes to keep it current. So you have working copy of the system. I keep Clone "A" that I keep "as was" the system as of last month or whatever (like 10.7.4 before upgrade to 7.5).
    Comes easier after doing it once and have all your ducks in a row.

  • Boot Camp won't boot Win 7 DVDs /Cloned disks - White cursor flashes once then Black Screen of Death.

    Hi Guys,
    I am having a serious issue with my machines ability to use boot camp. Here's what happend: I had Win 7 installed on the BOOTCAMP partition for a long while, then one day my HD crashed. So naturally I got my HD replaced from Apple and got Lion reinstalled and wokring flawlessly. Then I planned to get my Boot Camp going again, but my computer has a will against it I swear.  So I run Boot Camp Assistant , create the parition and reboot. At this point I have my Win 7 disk burned using Disk utility in the drive, I am using a dvd disk image from Microsofts online store.  I reboot and the computer hangs at the "pick a harddrive" grey for a second. Then the DVD drive spins up and I get a black screen, then for ever so slight a moment there is a flash of a white _ a the top left, then flash , nothing, the screen remains illumniated. Now I tried this multiple times , let it run over night , and nothing. Its almost as if my laptop will no longer boot the style of dvd that win 7 is.
    Being a diagnostics first type of a person I tested all the variables, the win 7 cd works fine in other macbook pros. My computer boots other mac os x DVDs without a problem.  I also tried using winclone to create a copy of another machines Boot Camp and flash it to my BOOT CAMP drive but this has the exact same result! Therefore it seems that the underlying system that runs my Macs ability to boot from Windows-style? partitions and dvd is broken. I also tried installing rEFIt, but that doesn't seem to help. I also tried booting off of an external USB drive with the same result. I tried zapping p-ram , scm and doing all software updates.
    Has anyone expereinced anything like this? Anyone found resolution to a similar issue? Any other tricks related to Macs EFI and boot process that I could use to debug this? Anywhere that EFI stores logs possibly?
    I went to the Apple's Genius Bar and they were stumped on my issue. I felt that they should be able to fix it considering it booted fine before I had Apple replace my HD.
    Thanks to any responders, I'm really hitting my head on the table now and would love some help.

    Have you reset the PRAM? It should usually be done when replacing any hardware. Have you got the latest EFI firmware for your Mac?
    Not knowing what model /YEAR your MBP is (not that it would help me too much but the other fellas probably would) it's hard to guess as there are issue's for different models. The only thing I could find was it's usually caused by a non-conforming video driver. Microsoft had a page on it I found by accident and now I can't find it!
    WinClone hasn't been updated by the original author in over a year, others have tweeked it a little to work with W7 but seems to be semi reliable, so the be aware.
    Unless the other MBP's are identical in Model AND year your putting older or incompatible drivers on your MBP. Boot Camp, (especially if your using the drivers on the original install disks, like 10.6 and earlier) will only install for that specific computer. Just like the OS installer.
    EDIT:
    Oh yeah, are you sure you have the partition formatted the right way, thats another black screen problem.

  • Torch 9810 slow red flashing light then black screen

    Hi,
    My phone is over 1 year old, so its not covered by Wind provider warranty. its 15 months now. One day, I plugged into the computer, it was doing an OS update, then froze at 30%. ever since, it is flashing red a few times then nothing... complete black screen. I tried it on different computers and even went to retail store and they tried it, nothing. They said its a blackberry OS issue and need to restore to factory OS and let it do update again. how do i do this? I know its not battery issue because we tried other good batteries. help!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.

  • HELP, Intel Security Update, no reboot, grey screen of death

    so I just downloaded the latest intel security update (i dont even remember the nomencalture) and now my revision A 2007 model macbook pro will not reboot.
    It stays on the grey screen with the grey pinwheel.
    I reset the PRAM, and nothing.
    I took the battery out and held down the power button, and nothing.
    so i put in Disc 1 of the instal disc, and started the reinstall process, but stopped because I was not sure if this would format the drive and i would lose everything. So i manually shut down the MBP, and now the I cannot eject the disc.
    and it still stalls on the grey screen of death.
    please help !
    sincerely loneshark2000

    did that, too !
    was able to get to Disk Utility, Verified the disk, Repaired the disk (no repairs were needed)
    went to Start Up Disk, selected the hard drive,restarted, and still she gets stuck on the grey screen.
    just got off the phone with mac support. and they recommended target disk mode to grab some of my necessary files. then to conduct a fresh install of the OS X, using archive and install. preserving user settings.
    so i guess im off to the store to get a 6 pin to 6 pin.
    ugh, what a dilema ! thanks for the reply Sig.

  • Security Update and then...

    I downloaded today's security update on 2 Mac's. My 12" Powerbook went fine...
    After installing the security update on my 20" iMac ppc, I am stuck at the grey apple screen with the spinning gear.
    Things I have tried:
    • I unplugged everything external except for the keyboard and mouse.
    • I booted from Leopard DMG and repaired the HD.
    • Reset the PRAM.
    • Tried starting in "Safe Mode".
    I am still stuck at the grey Apple screen with spinning gear...
    Is the only thing left to re-install OS (archive install, preserve user settings)?
    And if so, do I re-download and install the security update?
    Please, any help would be appreciated.

    Well, you've probably got to do the restore anyway. I think you probably should try the security patch again, only this time download it and then apply instead of using software update. Make sure that all devices except keyboard and mouse are detached from your machine. Repair permissions pre and post if the upgrade works. If you have Disk Warrior or something similar, run it after you restore your machine but before the upgrade.
    Good Luck.
