Today update broke the system[SOLVED]
Hello,
I did my regular update today that went fine, but after reboot I got a black screen. The bootup starts as regular and goes on for a while but somewhere in the middle it stops and that's all, black screen.
I updated the kernel, xorg, ati and input devices, qt as far as I remember.
Now, I don't know what to do.
Would appreciate if any knowledgeable person could give me ideas what to do next.
Thanks,
jmak

The inittab already looked the same as yours. I didn't have to change anything.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Serial Number not updating in the system
Hi Frnds
My client is in to retail and has most of the materials under variant configuration. The materials are sold with serial numbers so that they can be tracked and returns/maintenance can be accounted for. The customer is also given discount if he buys that material again using the serial number as reference and the dependency written for that material updates the old purchase qty(old factor) when new purchase qty(new factor) is added to it.
Since the serial number can only be referenced once the goods has been posted and billing has been done. The factors get updated in the system, the factors were updating correctly for the past 2+yrs but since the last couple of months the updating of serial number old factor is screwed. It is not updating for some serial numbers.
Any bright ideas what may be the issue. I have searched every nook and corner but could not trace the cause. Is it possible that a particular serial number can update for a certain number or memory or something???Sorry, but the problem is not solved: it shows the same, 10 numbers and three points.
Seeing the espana2004 message, maybe it is related to the use of a proportional font? All the characters in my Pre's serial number are wide.
This number is needed to download WebOS Doctor. I've had to put my phone in developer mode, connect through novaterm and do a 'lunaprop com.palm.properties.PalmSN' in order to obtain the number. Is there an easier way to get it?
Regards. -
My Cat sat on the keyboard during regular updating of the system. First it went to hypo-slow with alot of beach ball action while i tried to power down for a restart and individually force quit most open apps. Restarted/Resumed same issue.. changed to( close open apps upon restart.).... Now it is light grey, apple icon in center nothing else but the rounding cursur under the middle/only apple icon..... just goes round and round...does not respond to any shutdowns other than power off..... Makes the regular start up noise and back to same routine.... PLease help if possible....
Thanks Tina SchlemerTry booting to the recovery partition and running Disk Utility.
1, Boot while holding down the command and R keys (two keys).
see this page: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
2. Run Disk Utility, select the hard drive in the left column, First Aid then click Repair Disk.
3. Quit DU and restart.
If that does not do it, you can reinstall the OS from the same screen as took you to DU.
(My cat has never been able to do what yours did. I think he is just trying to email his friends.) -

The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131? -
I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -
My Apple TV stopped preparing update about 1/4 of the way into the update. The system says do not unplug your Apple TV while updating. I have waited 24 hours... No change. What do I do?
You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above. -
After I updated the software, the wi-fi has stopped working. I have already restored the system but the problem remains. Wifi is working fine otherwise.

Update of the System 10.6.8
From mysterious reason no longer works update in my system (10.6.8). Periodically it says that update can not be done, and I have made a diagnosis. This of course turns out well, but update is not possible. Otherwise, the Internet works as it should be, I have no problems with it. I tried to apply the 10.6.8 Combo, but nothing.

Why not? iTunes 10.5 requires at least Leopard 10.5 or higher, and you say you already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Sorry, but I'm not sure what your software problem is. -

Windows update hangs the system after shutting it down
I have shut down the system while it was updating the system (Microsoft update). Now it hangs, telling that update nr 11 of 13 is busy
what should I do?
The os is windows 8.1The system should be able to start an automatic repair.
First of all you should perform a complete shut down of Win 8.1 as described in this document:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
After that you should reboot the notebook…. Usually the system would start a self-repair procedure which should fix the update issue. -

[solved] Update broke my system. Again
I did an full system update after few days, and the result is:
1. spaceFM will no longer automount removable devices, like SD cards
udisks functions are not authorized through policykit,
so devmon cannot automount drives.
2. My reboot/shutdown/hibernate/suspend scripts don't work either:
$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized
And I've done that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PolicyKit
but it changed nothing.
I am using Slim.

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.
