TS3173 I am still reaching a black screen during the install even after following these instructions time and again. Really annoyed now - any ideas?

Followed this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US, still can't get anything to work. Have tried 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
I have late 2009 27" iMac. Anyone managed to get anywhere with this? Apple article says to just check the format of the drive I'm using... I've done everything exactly as it should be.

I had the same problem, you have to format your usb device on the same machine. Well, it worked for me.

  • Toshiba M305D : blue windows screen during the install of Windows 7 / Vista, no Audio on Windows XP

    Dear Users
    Last week I had a clean install of Windows 7 64bit on my M305D-S4830 laptop.
    I've used this OS on this machine before, and it worked fine.
    After installing Win7, the device manager showed 2 unknown devices. First I've installed the O2 multimedia card reader, and it went ok. Secondly I've installed for the unknown device "hdmi audio" a hdmi audio driver from ATi, since the notebook has AMD 780V chipset and a Radeon HD3100 (it hasn't any hdmi output, but I didn't want to have any unknown devices). 
    And my nightmare begun.
    While restarting after the driver upgrade, my brand new Win 7 boot hang on blue screen code: 0x00000124, which is common for many hardware and software faults. I ran safe mode to clean the system from the hdmi audio driver, but the catalyst install manager dind't let me to remove it. Since it was a fresh install on a formatted HDD, I took the time for another clean install (20 mins). But during the Win 7 install, the installer hang on blue screen, guess what, code: 0x00000124. I changed to the factory-backup Win Vista disks of my laptop, but Vista had the same problem, I couldn't install this OS either, blue screen during install, too.
    I took a Win XP Prof SP3 as a last option, and I could finally install it. But after the install, I had problems with the Radeon HD3100, I couldn't install the driver from the .exe, I had to make it from the device manager via properties/I choose to/graphics adapters/own disk. So I don't have the control centre, but the display works in 1280x800.
    The bigger problem is: no sound.
    The device manager in Win XP shows only one unknown audio device: the hdmi audio. I can't install the conexant drivers, because it says I don't have the device for that. When I install the ATi hdmi driver for XP, I get the blue screen with the error 0x00000124. Nice.
    I have updated bios, and made a proper format with the partititons deleted, but it didn't helped. I think the Vista/7 install crashes at the point, when it tries to install the audio driver during OS install, because the XP was running until I have tried to install it, too. But I can't configure the Vista/7 install not to try loading it.
    So my laptop is only comnpatible with XP, the install of Vista or 7 crashes. And in XP, I have got no audio devices, therefore no sound. You can imagine, how glad I am looking at my Harman/Kardon speakers right now...
    Any ideas?

    Alex, restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. If you didn't burn them, order the discs.
       Order Toshiba Recovery Media
    If it doesn't run properly after that, you have a hardware malfunction.

  • Black screen during Windows install

    Hello,
    I have a late 2012 27-inch iMac with the GeForce 680MX 2GB graphics card. I'm trying to install Windows 7 or Windows 8 using Boot Camp, but neither works.
    In either case, I can use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a bootable USB install disk, download the latest Windows support software from Apple, and partition the drive to allocate space for the Windows installation.
    As soon as I partition the drive, the iMac restarts and tries to boot into Windows. But the only thing I ever see is a black screen (no blinking cursor), no matter how long I wait.
    This seems like the exact same issue that plagued the late-2009/mid-2010 iMacs,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
    In other words, it looks like the drivers included with the default Windows install disk don't work on the late 2012 iMac, at least not when configured with the 680MX. 
    Since this looks like the old problem but Apple doesn't appear to have provided drivers for the new iMac yet (the older iMacs above used ATI graphics, not NVIDIA), I tried to add the latest NVIDIA notebook graphics card drivers to the Windows install disk using the directions here,
    http://superuser.com/questions/501812/corrupt-graphics-during-windows-8-installa tion
    In particular, I used these drivers,
    http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/55125
    They're not explicitly supporting the 680MX (I couldn't find any drivers for it in NVIDIA's website) but they do support the 680M and a whole slew of other cards. Thought it was worth a try.
    Anyway, that didn't do the trick. Still the black screen for me.
    Any ideas? Have others had this issue with the new iMacs?
    Thanks

    OK, I figured it out.
    You know how the Boot Camp Assistant gives you three options? Create Windows Boot Disk, Download Latest Drivers, Install. You basically need to do all three at once, from scratch.
    I'm not sure exactly when in the last couple of months, but Apple updated their drivers. A few days ago I gave this another shot. Initially I tried using the USB stick I had previously created, but using some of the links at the first post above, I tried to inject the new NVidia drivers provided by Apple. That didn't help. I got the black screen and all that all over again.
    But then I just tried to start from scratch, remaking the USB stick while simultaneously downloading the drivers. It then also asked me if I wanted to install a new helper tool. I never got that prompt before. Either that tool solved it, or when it was creating the boot disk now it was injecting the new drivers itself in some different way.
    Whatever it was, try starting from scratch and going through all the steps and you might be successful in classic "it just works" Apple fashion. Took them a couple of months, but they got there.

  • Has anyone else had problems with the lack of sensitivity with the screen?  The outter edges doesn't work some times, it's very annoying and I'm curious if it's just a defect with my phone or a wide spread issue.

    the edges of my iPhone 6 are not responding and I want to find out if it's a widespread issue or just a defect with my phone alone? iOS 8 I'm very disappointed

    Mine's fine. 
    Do the basic troubleshooting steps:  restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If those don't work, bring the phone to Apple for replacement. And if you put a screen protector on, take it off and see if that solves the problem.

  • IPad touch screen does not respond even after full restore and update

    I have an iPad 2 64 GB
    It has for a number of months intermittently stopped responding to any touch screen inputs. This issue began almost as soon as I opened the iPad for the first time. As it was happening very rarely and normally responded eventually, so I thought nothing of it.
    This week the iPad will not respond to any touch input at all (Home, On/Off, Volume and Mute buttons still respond). I have tried the hard reset process a number of times and still nothing.
    I backed up the device to my machine and applied the latest update 5.1.1 and still no response. I then did a factory reset and still nothing.
    I have never dropped or damaged my iPad in any way.
    Does anybody know of any ongoing issues with the touch screen or a solution to this problem?

    Thank you.
    I've already booked myself in to the Genius Bar this week.
    I suspect it is a hardware failure and more specifically a loose internal connection.

  • Got latest version installed, however still getting stuttering when playing.  Really annoying. Any suggestions?

    Downloaded the latest iTunes version a couple of days ago.  I noticed it mentioned bug fixes, one of which was experiencing stuttering with imatch, which was happening.  Unfortunately it is still happening and it is really annoying.  Any ideas please?...........thank you

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    At the time of writing iTunes 12.1.1.4 is supposed to address certain playback issues so try that first if you are on an earlier build. Also experiment with the Edit > Preferences > Playback > Play Audio Using control.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Hello Bluebird,
    See if it's related to this...
    It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x
    The 2012 macs (and later apparently) (also later OSX versions on earlier Macs can do it also), not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

  • My itouch is frozen on the black screen with the apple icon, I've done the whole reset holding the power and home button together but still won't work. Can someone please help!?

    So I've done the whole hold the power and home button, it resets but still stays frozen on the black screen with the apple icon

    Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Does it work with headphones plugged in? If yes, did you try to play music in headphone mode, then unplug during playback and start playing music again after that?
    If you toggle the volume, can you see the slider moving up or down?

  • When i try to turn ipod touch on it stays on the black screen with the apple and nothing else happens. whats wrong?

    okay so just as i was typing this the problem resolved itself, but when i went to charge my ipod i noticed ot stayed on the black screen with the apple for a good 10 minutes, so i pressed buttons furiously (!!) and the screen went white and then back on to the screen with apple again. this contiinued for a good 4 tries then eventually went on to my lock screen (which is the very beautiful dom howard not that you know who that is and i dont even know any of you so i dont know why im typing all of this out but i really enjoy typing it's an incredibly exciting past time of mine but unfortunately i havent used capital letters) just wondering if it will happen again

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
