Updated to Safari 7.0.4 for imac. It powers up, plays chime, display no longer works

Updated Safari to 7.0.4 last nigh
iMac boots up and chimes but the screen/display looks the exact same as when it is powered off.
I'm stumped, any thoughts or ideas are appreciated. If you need more info let me know.
Regards.

If you want to preserve the data on the startup drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Start up from the Recovery partition, from Internet Recovery, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
2. If Method 1 fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
3. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
4. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Ihave synced my IPAD to my IMAC and the password on my IPAD no longer works.  Can anybody help?

    I synced my IPAD 2 to my IMAC and my password on my IPAD no longer works.  My IPAD is disabled for longer and longer after each password I try.  I have tried my IMAC password and also my APple ID password.  Can anybody help?

    If you can't remember the passcode that you set on it (which won't be the same as your iTunes or Mac passwords unless you set it the same), then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

  • HT5218 Safari 5.1.5 for Mac OS X Server v10.6 is no longer available for downloading, where I can find it?

    afari 5.1.5 for Mac OS X Server v10.6 is no longer available for downloading, where I can find it?

    FWIW, Software Update Server on OS X Server 10.6 did occasionally corrupt itself.
    If I had a case of that arise, I'd get a full backup, would shut off Software Update Server, apply the current OS X Server 10.6.8 combo update and the current and subsequent patches, then reset the Software Update Server caches and force a new download of everything, and then restart the Software Update Server.
    Alternatively — and given what I've encountering with 10.6.8-vintage hardware failures in the last few months — I'd probably look to migrate to newer hardware and newer software.  Those disks are getting old, after all.
    Software Update Server and Caching Server 2 on 10.9 have both been stable.
    The Reposado open-source implementation of Software Update Server might provide you with an alternative approach, if Software Update Server is being recalcitrant and if you can't upgrade.

  • IMac 24¨External display no longer working

    I have a Intel iMac 24¨using an additional external display - Fujitsu.
    It has worked perfectly since I bought it and suddenly the external display will no longer work. There is nothing wrong with the Fujitsu because I have tested it on other computers but will no longer work with the iMac.
    I have checked all connections, running current update and I am now at a loss as to what to do next.
    I read that there were problems linking external displays when the iMac 24¨came out but I am assuming that this was resolved long ago. Even so, mine has worked fine until now. Any ideas please?!
    Thank you

    Hi Canaryguy
    1. Shut everything off display, computer and disconnect everything.
    2. Reset the iMac's SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    +● Shut down the computer.+
    +● Unplug the computer's power cord.+
    +● Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.+
    +● Release the power button.+
    +● Attach the computers power cable.+
    +● Press the power button to turn on the computer.+
    3. Now first reconnect the DVI or VGA cable to the Display.
    4. Then connect the Mini DVI to ??? to the Cable coming from the Display.
    5. Lastly plug the Mini-DVI adapter into the iMac.
    6. Then turn the Display on and startup the iMac.
    If that does not work try a different Mini-DVI to ??? adapter and cable, or test your adapter, cable and display with another iMac.
    If all of the above fail, then the iMac needs to be serviced.

  • I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

    I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • I have what I think is the original Ipad, and it will no longer send out emails.  Is it possible to update it, or am I just stuck with a $500 electronic device that will no longer work the way I need it to.  Some of the original apps will no longer work

    I have what I think is the original Ipad, and suddenly it will no longer send out emails and some of the apps that worked prior to the newer Ipads coming out will no longer work.  Can this be updated, or am I stuck with an expensive electronic device that will no longer serve my needs?

    Did you already update to the latest iOS; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623

  • Need update for Safari 1.3.2 for iMac G5 running Version 10.3.9

    I have a newer version of Safari on my powerbook at home that I like, and wanted to upgrade to a newer version of Safari at my work computer too. There doesn't appear to be an ability to "update" or "Check for updates" on my current version of Safari.
    I'm current using Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) on my G5 with Version 10.3.9 .
    If you can advise, please let me know. Thank you!

    You have the most current release for your OS. To use a newer version would require you update to Tiger or Leopard OS.

  • Why does air display no longer work from IMac, with mavericks to apple tv???

    Ever since last two updates of Mavericks, I have not been able to broadcast to apple tv as extended or mirroring desktop. It says it is avalable, and does nothing but a black screen on apple tv, and does not even come up as a desktop in display prefrences. What should I do?   IMac:10.9.2

    Hello, IamOMan. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of all devices can resolve this issue.  However, I would recommend taking a look at the section labeled Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring in the article below.  Make sure all updates have been processed for the Apple TV and Mac prior to troubleshooting.

  • I recently downloaded 6.1.2 and am regretting it...for one reason...the search function no longer works correctly. !!

    I personally and professionally rely on text messaging extensively. Since upgrade, the search function doesn't work correctly. It only returns partial results. This has never happened with previous upgrades.  All the old texts are there but it does not search the entire history.  If i compose new text and duplicate the recipients from an old text, it will bring up string...just cant search for it.  PLEASE HELP SOMEONE.

    I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

  • Need link for FF6.5 version because some graphics display is not working withFF7 , so therefore I need the link to the previous version. (Downgrading)

    I am not satisfied to FF7 so a link to downgrade to FF6 version is greatly appreciated.

    ...yes, I knew that there are no more updates. I was hoping for a super-secret workaround...since the project was originally created in the exact same version that I'm trying to open it in, there might be a bug that someone has figured out.
    Precisely why I use PPro now. FCP is a headache at best...but this...there is no logical reason why this would happen.
    ...borrowed a friends macbook pro w/ FCP 7, it opened...migrated the XML files to PPro...all done now.

  • Imac air powers up but no display.  Apple light is on; laptop is warm on bottom. No screen and no ability to turn off.

    I turned off my iMac Air last night as normal and had it hooked to the power charger because the battery indicator was low.  This morning I pressed the Power button and nothing.  I pressed a couple more times and I heard the start-up chime.  The Apple insignia is lit; the bottom of the computer is warm.  But no display and I can't seem to turn the laptop off.  I've tried hitting the power button several times but nothing happens.  I'm stuck.  Help please.  Thanks, John

    So I waited a couple of hours with the Macbook Air unplugged.  After two hours still noticed the Apple logo was "on" and the bottom of the laptop was warm.  Pushed the power button a couple of times and the machine turned off.  I pressed the power button again and heard the startup chime.  I did this while holding down Option-Command-"R"-'P" (no easy task).  The screen came on, very fuzzy at first but the cleared up.  Wanted to know if I wanted to reinstall the OS, restore a backup or just restart.  I took the simplest approach and restarted.  The system rebooted fine.  The display is back to where it was before.  Needless to say, I immediately backed everything up to iCloud just in case this happens again. 
    Anyone have any suggestions or advice?  Thanks, Papajohn-Philly

  • I just updated to iOS 7 today to my ipod and my iMessage and FaceTime are no longer working. I tried signing in but it won't let me.

    Help please

    Apple's servers are overloaded with iOS 7 downloads and activation requests.
    Be patient and try again later.
