Update has stopped everything working

After update with OSX Lion10.7.1 Safari, App Store, System Preferences or and of the folders on the desktop will not open any ideas anyone

can you boot into the lion recovery drive?

After the Recovery HD is finished starting up, you should see a desktop with a Mac OS X menu bar and a "Mac OS X Utilities" application window.
try that and see if you can run disk utility and verify your hd.  this goes wo saying but do you have a good backup or clone  you can boot from if you need to wipe your computer?

    @Andrei
    do you know if the soft buttons under the screen have backlight?  my phone doesn;t seem to have.... 
    As far as I know the K3 capacitive buttons don't have backlight support(I could be wrong on this one).
    The setting for the backlight is usually in Settings->Display.....You can check that.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards.

Ursor does go backwards, but it also turns the sound up. The keyboard is properly connected to the computer, and the battery life is up in the nineties.
    Help please !!!!

    Hi, thankyou for your response. Can I just confirm that you mean turning the computer on and off again, or re-booting the whole system. If it is the first I have already turned the system on and off, with no luck.

  • TS1702 I am updating my IPAD to version 5.1 and the update has stopped before completion. What is the procedure. If I stop the update or restart the IPAD will the update be corrupted and also the IPAD operating system.

    I am updating a new IPAD to the latest version from ITUNES. The update is not complete and has stopped. What  is the procedure to restart? If I close ITUNES i get a message that the IPAD is updating. Will closing the application cause the update to be corrupted and thus the operating system? Will the same occur if I power the IPAD down or disconnect it vis the USB port?
    Help!!!

    AppleWill - when i closed the app and restarted Itunes, I had to go thru a Restore process. The restore goes to certain point and stops. It seems at the same time as the Update stopped. I can Force a stop and reboot the computer and try again. It possible the screensaver interrupted the restore? It doesn't sound right. Any suggestions?
    You may also want to go to:
    ~/Library/iTunes/
    This is done by  going to the "Go" in the Finder and select Go To Folder. Copy and paste:
    ~/Library/iTunes/
    In to Go To Folder selection. Look for a folder called iPad Software Updates. Delete anything in that folder and re download the upadate.

  • Apple Software Update has stopped working

    "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Windows 7, iTunes 10.1.1.4 - trying to update to 10.2.1.
    This has been going on for a couple of months now. The FAQ suggests deleting the Temp directory, but I can't do that because there's a file in there which I can't delete - FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Can you update successfully using an installer from the website instead?

  • Firefox sometimes closes down unexpectitly and I also am getting a a pop-up saying Ask Updater has stopped working.

    Along with this error came another pop-up saying Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtime Error Program: C:\Program Files(x86)\Ask.com\updater.exe this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Is this a virus? I scanned my computer but nothing shows up?
    Also though this is really strange....my cursor seems to stick as I move between monitors (I use three for work) and it then snaps across to the right place accompanied but a alarm sound......?

    Background:
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64Bit) Edition
    I had installed Foxit Reader 5.0.1.0523 with the PDF Creator Toolbar powered by Ask.com. The PDF Creator Toolbar was added as an addon in my Firefox 3.6.18 and I disabled this addon via the addon pane of Firefox.
    The Foxit installer created the folders at C:\Program Files(x86)\Ask.com\ and one of the folder has updater.exe file. I had no error until a few days ago when the pop-up Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtime Error with C:\Program Files(x86)\Ask.com\updater.exe this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. During this time I was launching Firefox and it tried to launch but immediately closes.
    I have tried launching updater.exe again by double-clicking the file directly and the same runtime error pop-up appeared.
    I decided to uninstall Foxit Reader together with the PDF Creator Toolbar via Add/Remove Panel and then reinstall Foxit Reader WITHOUT the PDF Creator Toolbar as per http://www.computer-maint.com/apps/blog/show/7197026-don-t-install-toolbar-when-updating-to-foxit-reader-5 .
    So far no problem with Firefox or anymore runtime error.

  • Latest update has stopped iTunes toolbar working

    After the latest update, the iTunes toolbar's buttons do nothing. It always starts like this:
    Even though music is audible. Buttons change nothing. Not even the maximise one.
    Also, when mousing over the iTunes icon when it's running and shows the 3 buttons, those do nothing either:
    The mini player itself seems to be fine but I would love these to work as I do not always use it.

    Hi there  - I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
    1) iTunes
    2) Apple Software Update
    3) Apple Mobile Device Support
    4) Bonjour
    5) Apple Application Support
    Then you restart your computer.
    Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
    Then you restart your computer again.
    Mine is working perfectly again now.
    I hope it works for you,
    Carmen.

  • Windows 7 update has stopped working

    I am running Windows 7 ultimate and, up to now, have not had any problems updating it.  Recently I noticed that I had not had to restart the machine to finish the installation of any new updates.  I checked the installed updates to find that the
    last was installed on 1/28/2015.
    The system is set up to automatically install new updates but when I ask it to search for updates it says that I have never installed any updates (the installed updates lists well over 200 installed updates). and doesn't seem to find any updates even after
    leaving it running for over an hour.
    What do I have to do to fix this problem?

  • Itunes update has stopped my itunes working?

    itunes has updated version but now will not start. error message states MSCVR80.dll was not found. Have tried downloading itunes again but still no joy...Help please !

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • 26 Aug 2010: auto update to Java 6.0.621 has stopped Firefox working. I used Add/Remove to remove the update and Firefox launched and displayed the website I was at (UK's Postal Museum) when the auto-update happened. What should do?

    I recently updated to Firefox 3.6.8. During the install routine I thought I had said OK to the process of automatically updating associated addons so when the Postal Museum prompted for an update to a new release of Java I let it happen. I sent them an email but do not remember closing down Firefox. Hour later, I clicked the Firefox button to launch it again; two seconds of eggtimer then nothing else. Tried to launch it from Start/Programs/Mozilla/Firefox. Same eggtimer. (Running WindowsXP on a middle-aged desktop).

    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

  • Update has stopped

    Hi all,
    the quality of the updates from apple make a lot of problems. INow apple tv stopped during installation. Does aAple work on improvement of the quality? You spend a lot of money for the products and what you get are sw prodcuts with poor quality. I´m realy ******! What can I do?
    Thanks for your support.
    Cheers, Helge

    Short update: After several discussions in various communities I decided to make a hard interruption, plugged out all cables incl. power and plugged in again and restart update procedure. Update was successful. I just wanna use apple products and don´t wanna discuss problems during or after sw updates.
    When Apple does not improve products and sw tehy will loose in minimum one friend ;-)
    Next time I´ll check first communities before I start sw updates. It takes me 3 hours just to solve the issue with apple tv sw update.

  • Updating has stopped. I am stuck on FF8 beta.

    About box shows 'apply update' message. When I press it, FF restarts but nothing has updated and the 'apply update' message is still there.
    I understand that you are much beyond FF8 now, how do I get back on track?

    I have downloaded and installed FF11 beta. All seems well. Does not explain the FF8 auto update failure. Nor the Tbird auto update failure.
    I did the FF11 install on admin account, but everyday work is on 'normal' user account. I seldom log in to admin. Is this an impediment to auto update?
