Since I made updates of software in mavericks macbook pro 1260 does not start anymore

Hi
On my macbook pro A1260 2008, under Mavericks, I downloaded 3 upgrades: Itunes, Ibooks and a security upgrade of 100 Mo. After installation I have been asked to restart the computer in order for the updates to take effect, so did I.... But the macbook pro never started again: no chime, only dvd player noise, HDD, and Fans.
Could you help me to get out of that mess?
Thank you
C.B

There are a few different startup tricks you can use including safe mode and single user mode. I can never remember what the commands are so try to search for "mac startup commands" to be sure you're doing them correctly. They usually involve holding down the shift key, the R key, the option key or a combination.
Do you have a buddy who can help you build a bootable USB drive? The process is simple and is described on the Apple Knowledge Base article library. There are also some free apps that will do it for you.
Unlikely, but when you exhaust all other attempts, you may be looking at a total erasure of the system so I hope you have a backup.

I recently updated the software on my MacBook Pro. Now, my computer no longer recognizes my external hard drive. Could this be related to the software update and, if so, how do I correct the problem?

Have you tried all the ports?
Have you tried with a different cable?
Have you tested all the ports with other devices to see that they are functioning?

How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?
Check out the following & do the necessary:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
Try SU again.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

Ever since updating to OS 10.10.3, my iTunes does not open anymore!

Ever since I updated to 10.10.3, my iTunes does not open anymore.
I have restarted my computer, and tried to open it again but it did nothing. I installed iTunes again and also did not help. Opening iTunes from the application folder in Finder did nothing, as well as opening it from the launchpad did not help.
The app does not even bounce up and down in the dock, it just does nothing.
I think I have tried almost all basic methods. Is there anything else I can do?!
Please help!

Thanks in advance

Same bro, same. Ever get it fixed?

After update Mac OS 10.9.1 Trim Enabler does not work anymore!

After updating from Mac OS 10.9.0 to 10.9.1 the program Trim Enabler does not work anymore and my 4 SSDs from Samsung and Kingston are no longer supported.
What can I do?
Should I scrap my SSDs?
Why does Apple do such things?
Will Apple that I switch to Windows? There Trim works with all SSDs and BluRay will not boycott!

Apple does not support TRIM for SSDs that were not factory
installed and TRIM Enabler is a hack to get around this. Any
hack is always subject to being disabled, or worse, with any
system update whether it is OSX or Windows.

MacBook Pro Mid 2012 not starting up after Yosemite Update

I'm using a MacBook Pro mid 2012 model , enrolled into Yosemite Public Beta Program ...
After the official public launch , app store suggested that i rather update from beta 5 to beta 6 , as downloading extra 5 gig of OS data seemed unnecessary for me , I just updated from the app store.
Post the update , after shutting down my MacBook , I tried starting it up after 8 hours , it failed to respond to any of my prompts .
Keyboard not responding
Power Button not responding
Li-Po Battery indicator alone works ,
When plugged MagSafe , it indicates charging .
The Sleep Indicator (in the front - that of hard disk drive ) blinks occasionally.
Later, when i tried powering up with MagSafe , It booted luckily , after some 20 hours of work , i shut the system down ,
Again when i tried booting up , it failed .
The problem persists since 3 days.
I tried booting up in Safe Mode - No result
Tried Verbose Booting up - No result
Cleared NV RAM - No result
Cleared SMC as Apple instructed for Intel Based MacBooks - No result.
Removed Battery and kept aside for a while , After an hour tried powering up , It booted up , Went till Apple Logo , The loading bar was some 45%
Then it started to go down with a black screen ,
It never starts up again.
After regular intervals of removing and installing battery , it starts up to white screen and goes off.
I am really worried and desperate now.
I am not sure whether my HDD is dead or my Battery is dead or my Logic board is dead or my Yosemite Install was not right ?
After hours of online research , nothing seems to be helpful .
People at Apple Care (Premium ReSeller , India) are so irresponsible in attending the issue ,
They say its helpless without even doing some basic troubleshoot.
Where would it have went wrong and What am i supposed to do now ?
PLEASE HELP !!

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.

Macbook pro/iPad3 does not sync app updates

Have the iPad (1) and the iPad3 and have updated many an app on a Dell latop that always sync'd the new purchased and updated apps with both the iPads and even my iPhone 4 without any issues (ever). I recently got a macbook pro and since then app udates and/or new purchases downlowds and updates on the macbook and on the dell laptop, but none of the apps/updates or new apps sync with any of the other devices.
Messages I get is that the computer in not authorised anymore, I then reauthorise the macbook/dell laptop and get the message that it is already authorised. then I deauthorise it and then reauthorise it, same outcome.
All the sync does is the contacts, calenders, safari browse etc etc, but when the apps ar to be sync'd updated on the pads and phone, the process status indicates that it is busy "Determining apps to sync" and without any other action and very quickly after this, the entire sync process is finished without updating the apps. The next step is the messages i get indicating that the iPad/s and/or iPhone is not authorised.
is there a setting that I need to change on the macbook that will resolve this issue or is the probelm on the tow iPads and the iPhone?
Tech's at the iStore said my iPad needed to be restored to factory default, which was done, but even that did not resolve the issue. Please help?

Go to iCloud.com and see if your Calendar is syncing there. If not, go to System Preferences/iCloud and make sure Calendar syncing is checked. If it is syncing, go to iPhone Settings and make sure it is set up to sync Calendar. If it is set up on the iPhone, try deselecting iCloud syncing, put the iPhone in the airplane mode for a couple of minutes, and then set syncing up again.

Make certain that your MBP is connected to an AC source and is charging or charged.
Then try a SMC and PRAM resets:

Update 10.5.6: external HD used for Time Machine does not MOUNT anymore

I've used this LaCie external Little Big Disk since November 2007 with Time Machine, without problems. Recently, after updating to OS 10.5.6, the disk does not mount anymore when connected by FireWire800. Same result when using FW400 and USB.
The disk shows up in the System Profiler under FireWire. When I run analysis with a program 'Data Rescue II', it also sees the disk.
Main issue: disk does not mount anymore. So no more TM backups possible.
Although the disk also shows up in Disk Utilities, I can't partition or reformat it. I ran the LaCie Update Tool 2.0.1 and it says firmware is up-to-date.
I also reinstalled the Combo Update 10.5.6 without result. Also did all the forum recommendations such as resetting PRAM and using Terminal to 'mount /dev/xxx'. Does not help.
I feel this is an Apple issue.

Yes, did it three times. Also already hooked up in daisy chain, and yes, also connected to another Mac (also 10.5.6). Same result. I think it's an OS 10.5.6 issue, because it happened after the update and I had never problems in the last year using this disk with TM (it's not full either). I hope it's not, however, but I am afraid it is. Also I've posted the issue at LaCie support and see what they answer.
Thank you for your reply.

Sb software does not start anym

Hi,
I have got a problem: All(!) my creative software does not start anymore (AudioHQ, Surroundmixer etc.). Also the diagnostics and the standard restore tools don't have a function. It is not the first time that I have that prob. I fixed it last time by reinstalling the whole system... but that can't be the answer. As I said: This problem seems to reappear from time to time. I didn't change anything in software or hardware.
The taskmanager shows all creative processes running as usual, I just can't start any of the programs.
Btw: I can hear the sound! Everything seems to be absolutely normal, it's just the software that doesn' work.
So, does anybody know why that happens? And can this problem be solved?
Thanks for answering!
PS: I've got a creative soundblaster li've! 5. digital card and the actual drivers

Hi again,
That's one of the points which confuse me: No error messages, just nothing. The hourglass appears for a second and then, nothing happens.
The system is an AMD Athlon 2000+, Radeon 9800pro video card, 768 ram, asus nforce2 board, windows xp media center edition... nothing exceptional.
My 5. spaeker system works perfectly: I can hear EAX in games, AC3 when watching a DVD.
Also the windows playback controll works. But that's really no alternati've to the AudioHQ
I feel a bit like driving in a car; I can accelerate, I can slow down, but there is no streering-wheel... if you know what i mean
And unforunately I can't restore the system, because I disabled the function *stupidly*
Very confusing, isn't it's

My Canoscan Lide 35 has been unresponsive since I have updated mac software to 10.9.1 Mavericks. Help please!

My Canoscan Lide 35 has been unresponsive since I have updated mac software to 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have reinstalled the correct drivers from the canon support page, this didn't work. I have just installed MP Navigator from the canon website as suggested by Apple and try to open it and get the message "The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install it and retry", even though I've just installed it! Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hey, Clinton,
     Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
     1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
     2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
     3. Close iMovie 9
     4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
     5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
     6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

i just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod. The tracks stay gray with a stagnant circle beside them in the left column. Any ideas?

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync

- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
