Serious Issues after update, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Two nights ago i did a software update. Shut the computer down everything was fine. Im not sure the software update worked properly. When i restarted the computer later that evening, all i got was the gray screen with the apple. A friend was searching forums for me over the internet while we were trying to fix it. Did the CTRL OPTION R P thing and that didnt work. Did the CTRL S and that didnt work. Next day went and bought a Snow Leapord cd. After three hours the status bar moved appx 3/4 of an inch. Took it to apple. They wiped the Hardrive clean and reinstalled Snow Leapord to it. Now it restarts and operates. However, it takes about 15 min for it to start up and get to the desktop and it runs TERRIBLY slow. It has a 500g hard drive that was put in 2 weeks ago. It also has 2g of RAM. After taking it to apple it is only showing 1.5G of RAM after the wiped the hard drive. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! Everything was working fabulous prior to 2 nights ago.

Well I just rewiped the hardrive clean and reinstalled snow leapord. IT WORKED!!!!!! Computer is running fast as could be, start ups in less than 30 seconds, no lagging. Im really happy as i bought this computer from a good friend and its less than a week since ive had it. I think ill just live with the ram still showing 1.5g. I think ill wait and just go get 2 4g sticks when i get around to it that way It will be as fast as possible and ill be using the ports to their full potential.

    It is not a driver issue:

    The above Microsoft article will take you through the possible issues. Does the drive show up in device manager? The BIOS?
    Can you boot from it? It is likely either a corruption of the registry which the linked article shows how to fix, or the drive itself is bad and needs to be replaced. Post back to answer the questions so we can help.

  • 5g 30gig iPod not working after update, Please Help!

    I have a 5th gen 30gig iPod and a yesterday I tried to update it. During the update after it shut itself off and started back up the updater froze around 20%. After about two hours of waiting I forced the updater to quit (restarted it with menu/select) and then tried to turn it back on to no avail. So right now the iPod is dead.
    I've tried the whole hold menu/select to reset (even for up to a min) then I did the flip hold on and off and try again method. I also tried with the iPod plugged into my PC and my Mac. I also tried using the AC adapter. All attempts resulted in failure. Because it stopped working after the update I'm confident that it isn't the battery or that the iPod is physically damaged and that this is just a software issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and therefore have no warranty for it.

    I am having the same exact problem as you, it just won't boot up. The apple logo lights up on the screen for a little while and tried to boot up, then the screen goes black, and it starts over, the ipod trying,(and failing)to boot up. This goes on like this until the battery is dead. I'll repost if I figure out how to fix this.

  • IPad 2 cannot connect to Wifi before and after updating  PLEASE HELP

    i have been using iOS 5.1.1 till today.. the connection to wifi stopped working.. it slowly faded away and today i woke up and could not connect to My wifi at all, i have decided to update my iPad to iOS 7.0.4 but the problem is there
    what should i doo ??

    It could be a problem with your WiFi router or your iPad.
    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • All info lost after update, please help.

    So I updated my phone a few nights ago and it went fairly smoothly. It dropped my apps, but that was easily fixed by going to the app store and just redownloading them all.
    Tonight, I went to update my wife's phone. I first synced it so it would make a backup of everything on it. Started the update and it dropped everything from her phone (contacts, pics, apps, matter of fact, its like its a brand new phone...) So I thought to myself, no biggie, I'll just restore it.
    Now, I use the same computer for my wife and I's phones. I went to restore her phone and it only has restore points for my phone. Is there anything I'm missing? As many husband's out there probably know, this is going to be a fun conversation to have with my wife that I lost everything on her phone (albeit not my fault but that really doesn't matter).
    Please, please, please someone let me know if there is anything I can do to restore her phone before this update threatens a wife's wrath being brought upon a husband just trying to make her phone faster.
    Thanks.

    Even if it told me it was creating a backup? I can understand that apple doesnt care too much about multiple people using one computer (hope you caught the sarcasm), but if it told me it was creating a packup, shouldnt it have legitimately created one? It doesnt even show one in the restore from log.

  • Serious issues with ipod - please help soon!!

    My ipod ran out of battery a couple of days ago. i plugged it in to charge overnight, but when i woke up just the apple logo was on the screen and the ipod had not charged at all.
    eventually after trying a few times i got the ipod to charge. when it had i went to play some music but it came up as having no songs. no pictures, no albums, nothing. but when i go into setting it says more than half my ipods capacity is used up and its all listed as 'other'. now when i plug it into my computer its saying its corrupted and i should restore it.
    i really really dont want to lose all the music thats on my ipod cos its not on my computer. would be great if anyones got any ideas!

    Hi, almost the exact same thing just happened to my ipod. And i have the same problem with not having the songs backed up on the computer.
    What i think i will have to do is copy all the music off the ipod onto the computer. You do this by going to "my computer" and clicking on your ipod icon. From there you click on the "tools" then "folder options". After that select "veiw" and change from "do not show hidden files and folders to "show hidden files and folders". Close that small window down and folder should appear call "ipod control" double click on it and then right click on the "music" folder, click copy and then paste into "my documents". Make sure that after the folder is copied you unhide it by right clicking and then clicking "propertys" and unhide.
    After that, you can go to itunes and click "file" then select "add folder to libary" then chose the music folder in you documents...
    I hope it works and i have made it clear enough for you.
    I know just how you feel about loosing all the stuff....

    When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

  • Syncing issues after updating to 10.3.1.55

    After upgrading to itunes 10.3.1.55, today, it no longer recognizes my iPhone 4. I plug it in, the iPhone makes its normal syncing noice. I get a prompt, like always about it recognizing the camera and how i want to handle it. I cancel it, as usual, and then it never shows up in iTunes. I close itunes, connect my phone and it does not start itunes as it normally should. No error messages, just no response. Can anyone help with ideas?

    I had the same issue, after updating to 10.3.1.55 it would error out saying something along the lines of not being able to read the catalog or something.  I think the error even states do a restore to fix it.  Last night that is what I did, clicked restore and then had it transfer all my items back.  I'm glad I had just synced my phone prior to the update so the restore was really current.

  • Issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network (Italy)

    Hi everyone
    I have issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network.
    After installing iOS5 I had to switch from apn ibox.tim.it to wap.tim.it
    Since then the phone is unusable for any internet activity that is barely "data demanding" (e.g facebook app take literaly hours to update), everyting requires way to much time... the iPhone is not an iPhone anymore... it's worse than my blackberry with just GPRS on it.
    TIM technical support suggested me to switch back on apn ibox.tim.it, but then I would not be able to use internet tethering anymore (they say because of Apple iOS5) ... to bad I need internet tethering for work.
    I am seriously thinking to switch ISP or phone.
    Anyone did experience same problem / found a solution?

    Hi Raia.D,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to restart your iPhone.  Then tap the Settings app, and you should see Cellular listed on the main settings screen.  You should see Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and then Cellular.
    Here are some additional troubleshooting steps to try:
