Update 10.3.9 to 10.4.6- "Unable to find driver for this platform Powerbook
I am trying to update 10.3.9 to 10.4.6 and when I insert install disc and hold down "c" the screen starts with the apple, then turns grey and says kernel panic or somthing like that, shows multiple languages saying to restart the computer as well as this statement:
Unable to find driver for this platform Powerbook 4,3"
I have a 12.1" iBook, 900 MHz PowerPC G3, 384 MB SDRAM
Is it possible to update from 10.3.9 to 10.4.6? How do I install it?
Thank you for any help!!!

My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective. -

I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..
Did you try more than once? If so:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

"Unable to find driver for this platform" after software update
After today's software update my MacBook Pro won't start when the required restart is completed. I get to the "pre-login screen" where I type in my password, and then I end up at a screen saying I have to hold down the power button and then restart the computer. It also says "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\"...
What is there to do now? Will I lose everything on my harddrive if I reboot the computer completely?

I am totally worried I am going ot lose all my data after trying to install update on MacAir. Cannot do anything error message saying panic ....."Unablet o find driver for this platform."
Hi Guys
No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution. -
So I hadn't updated my software in many many months... I decided to so I could download games... And after my computer restated and had updated, it went to a grey screen with HTML coding. At the top it says "unable to find driver for this platform". No idea what to do please help!
That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it... -

IOS 7 updates have lowered my bluetooth maximum volume. Is there a fix for this?
I am using an iPhone 4 and since the IOS 7 update (and the following update 7.0.2) I have noticed that my maximum volume level on my bluetooth earpiece is far too low. I have checked the audio levels and set to maximum on both the iPhone and the Samsung earpiece. I have turned on and off sound check, and tried both turning off and using different EQ settigs in the phones music settings. I have also used a hard and soft shut down of the phone after changing settings with no solution.
I work in a loud environment and listen to audiobooks while I work. I had no problem in the past hearing, until the next morning after I updated to IOS 7. I have used wired earplugs and the volume level is fine, just the bluetooth seems effected. Unfortunately the wired earphones do not allow me the freedom I need to perform my job.
Is there another setting or fix that I am missing, or is this just a condition produced by the update and hopefully will be rectified by anouther update in the future?
Thank you in advance for any help.Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

When i go to the epson website it says the printer driver is available from apple. When i go to the printer selection it sees the printer but says that apple has no drivers for this printer. In the updates section of the app store it shows that the printer driver was update yesterday.
If you're sure you tried all of these steps and the issue persists, contact Apple technical support
