Imac wont boot up after update to 10.6.2

Hi.I updated my Imac to version 10.6.2 and after reboot all i got was a gray screen with 3 short beeps and a pause. After researching i found out it was a ram issue so i tried to remove one sodim at a time and restarting.I found the problem being the left side dim but know Im working with 2Ggs of ram instead of the original 4 im shure it will be covered by warranty,but my question is: Could this ram failure be caused by the updateor was it just a weird coincidence anyone as had a similar issue?

Most likely a strange coincidence, it happens every once in a while. Good troubleshooting though, and if you contact Apple, they should be able to get that replaced for you.

Satellite Pro L300 wont boot up after updating BIOS from 1.30 to 1.50

Dear All,
I own a Toshiba Satelklite Pro L300 and had no problems for the past 4 years. Last Monday I replaced my Hard Drive with a new one and after installing a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro, I downloaded all the drivers from the offical website. Upon finishing my last update, I updated the BIOS from version 1.30 to 1.50. After a few seconds my laptop restarted and was unable to load Windows and/ or recognise my new Hard Disk.
I tried several methods, being Safe Mode, Bios Optimun Defaults etc but was unsuccesful. IO could not even re-install Windows as the Hard Drive is not being recognised by the Laptop. I formatted the HD again via my desktop Pc but still have the same problem.
I am really worried and would appreciate immediate help!
Best Regards,
Engelbert

> I formatted the HD again via my desktop Pc but still have the same problem.
What happen exactly when you switch your notebook on?
Set BIOS to deult settings and try to install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. If everything works OK that means HDD upgrade was successful and there is no some serious hardware problem.
After this check you can try to install WXP again.
Please post some feedback.

Help my screen wont tilt anymore after updated to iso7. When playing a game the person wont move when i tilt to left or right. ive unlocked the portrait and still wont work.

Maybe, maybe not. Most games now require an Intel processor, but:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Hi Mike
This is called a kernel panic, similar to s 'blue screen of death' on Windows. When you say you reinstalled 3 times, do you mean the OS or the Update?
When does this kernel panic appear? You may have a hardware issue if it's happening on boot.

My iphone4 wont turn on after updating to ios5

my iphone4 wont turn on after updating to ios5

Hi
Sounds like it's broken in a potentially major way after the drop. You really should take it to your nearest Apple Store/Apple Authorised Repair Centre a diagnosis and quote.
Can't think of anything else any of us on this user-to-user forum can do for you?

Ipad air wont turn on after update today?

ipad wont turn on after update today. cannot do a hard reset either...
tried holding the power and home at the same time, still won't turn on suggestions?

How long did you hold the power and home buttons? You need to do that for about 30 seconds, sometimes even more before the apple logo appears.

Satellite P100-240 wont boot up after failed BIOS update

Hi, let me just start by saying im an idiot....
Dowloaded a few drivers for my toshiba p100 240 and noticed there was a BIOS update, i downloaded it and ran the program only for it to come up with
an error that it will only allow the Administrator to run program. My laptop became slow and would not allow me to turn it off by any means. In the end i took out the
battery and restarted only to find a blank screen, no start up or anything on screen.
I fear i have totally killed my machine and its about 4 months out of warrenty, Im sure there is no cheap miricle cure for this but if anyone can give me my options here I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your time,
Martin.

Hi mate,
Thats a bit of a problem... If your machine really wont boot up and no screen comes up, then your BIOS was probably damaged.
I would really recommend you to contact an [authorized service partner|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871] and tell them your problem. Maybe they can do something for. I mean, your machines hardware is ok, and its just some BIOS related thing.
Hope your machine will work again..

Wont read sim after update

iphone 4 wont read a sim card after updateing to ios 6 plus

Okay - if the phone was an AT&T one & has an AT&T SIM in it, try reseating the SIM as outlined here.
What message do you see on the iPhone's screen?
You may want to take it to an AT&T store and get the SIM replaced, just in case your current one has issues.

Mac Book Pro doesn't boot (twice; after updating) and slow performance before these incidents

Hi,
Maybe someone can help me resolving a (re) boot issue with my Mac Book Pro. Last few weeks I experienced a tremendous drop in performance (start-up as well as handling and using applications).
Yesterday I downloaded and installed an app to clean stuff from the mac, such as binaries that aren't used, cache files, etc. It resulted in substantial better performance. Than, I used the updater on this application to update. This morning, the Mac wouldn't boot. After several attempts I used the old DVD with Mac OS X to re-install and boot. That worked.
Following this approach, I received two messages (that HP apps weren't secured or something and therefor disabled). Than I updated the Mac OS X and later this evening it asked me if I wanted to install some (4) other updates as well (don't know what updates these were). So I updated but now I am back at square one: My Mac doesn't boot. I do get the grey starting screen, but now even the 'apple' logo is missing.
Anyone else experiencing these problems and have any clues on how to fix it? By the way, I also tried to alter permissions on all files on the main hard drives (to ensure that I do not always have to sign off on updates and or changes of applications). Would that have caused problems?

You seem to have a lot going on here, so it's hard to know what's wrong. You likely had some underlying problems before doing the Software Update.
Here's a link that might help with the grey screen problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Which app did you download?
If you can get booted up, check in the System Profiler to see that all of your RAM is recognized--if not, you may need to reseat one or both sticks.
If you can boot from your install disc, run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to check for hardware problems. Freezing can be caused by a dying hard drive, which can also tend to corrupt software.
While booted from the install disc, navigate to Disk Utility and repair your boot disk. You can do this 2 or 3 times even if it says no problems found.
While in Disk Utility, check to see that the SMART status of your hard drive is verified. If not, you will need to replace the drive.
It probably wouldn't hurt to reinstall the OS.
Do you have a good, up to date backup? If not, it would be a good idea to make one as soon as you can, just to be on the safe side.
Have you tried a Safe Boot?

[Solved] Boot problem after update

After updating my Archlinux (64bit) installation and rebooting it a few minutes ago
I have encountered the following problem. The boot process is hanging after
activation of logical volumes. Here are the boot messages:
Booting the kernel.
:: Staring udevd...
done.
:: Running Hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents…done.
:: Running Hook [lvm2]
Activating logical volumes…
15 logical volume(s) in volume group "system" now active
I have also tried the fallback kernel. The same problem!
What is going wrong?
Regards
Nik

Problems booting up after update of xp pro

Was getting this problem with updating the 4 previous critical updates for
win xp before service pack 2 and now getting it again with sp2.
Here is the problem (before xp2) windows does not boot up after 24 hours of
installing previous 4 critical updates, seems to get stuck whilst loading in
the keyboard and cant load in mouse driver, hence no boot up. However boots
in safe mode. found that if i deleted keyboard and started up again normally
it booted. it would do this infrequently. sorted it by uninstalling 4 updates. Cant remember the 'kb' number of the dates but 1 was for ie6, 1 was for BITS,1 was a general fix for xp and the last one was for v5 win update.
Now i find i have the same problems as well as slow loading times for xp to
boot up, sometimes as long as 2 minutes. Bought a new keyboard in case old
one was ghoosed, fixed it sort of now it only does on every 2nd boots. have
to manually restart machine and tell it to load windfows normally, had to install the 4 previous security updates mentioned in above paragraph before sp 2. im guessing one of these is interfering with keyboard in some way. any help would be greatly apprciated. Have updated motherboard drivers but not the bios. Have since discovered it is the agp driver that seems not to be loading and gets stuck in an endless loop

The four updates where as follows:
KB839645
KB841873
KB840315
KB842773
One was an update for BITS, one was an ie6/outllook express update, one was xp security update and one was v5 update ( to replace v4). Was getting the odd blue screen crash and slow load times but have fixed these, caused by services such as BITS, Workstation etc running when not needed.
Yeah the 9800 pro is not sharing power with anything
The fix for it just now (when xp doesnt load)is to manually hit the reset button, boot into safe mode. shut down again and wait 20 seconds and reboot, if that doesnt work do it again boot in safe mode and delete keyboard restart and boots up. though with old keyboard sometimes had to do this a few times. thats why though my keyboard was faulty.
Am now begining to suspect mobo is faulty, which i really hope is not the case as that'll be another faulty MSI part within 6 months.

Ipad wont open attachments after update

After update my ipad wont open attachments ie word and excel. It did prior to the update. Is there a setting I am missing or have to adjust.

I have the same problem - only it is intermittent. Today both my mobleme and gmail accounts on my iPad received emails with a .doc attachment and showed it as a mime file with 0 bites. My iMac received the .doc account. But, at other times, I've not had this problem. The inconsistency is going to drive me to pound the iPad to bits with a hammer because I bought it to substitute for a laptop when traveling for work, so if I can't rely on it to receive emails, it is worthless to me.
I've read through 20 pages of discussions and so far, this is the first reference to the issue I'm having.
