OS X :: Snow Leo. Upgrade: Screen Not Working At All

Sep 14, 2009

I tried searching for 2 hours here and on google but nobody seems to experience exactly the same problem as me.

I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I got the problem alot of other people has been having: The screensaver kicked in during the installation. But I read about this after I turned off the computer by holding the power button which means I must have turned it off while it was installing.
Booted again and nothing on the screen. I got the chime but the screen was completely black(the flashlight trick didn't work, so the screen was totally off).

However it managed to finish the install after I turned on the computer again with the SL disc in the drive and giving it some time. It rebooted by itself and booted, this time with the screen on.

It booted up perfectly into 10.6 and I was happy. I thought I might just as well upgrade to 10.6.1 while I was at it, so I opened Software Update, downloaded the update and went ahead. I didn't reboot before doing this so this was done almost straight after it booted up in 10.6 the first time.

As far as I remember the screen changed to the 'starry sky' background while preparing to install and reboot.But now I'm stuck: I'm back to where the computer boots with only the chime. I can hear that the fans, hard drive and disc drive works. More or less everything else but the screen turns on.I've tried the flashlight trick again with no luck.I tried turning it off, taking out the battery and holding the power button for 10 seconds.I tried resetting PRAM by holding option, command, r and p when turning the computer on.
I tried holding down shift while booting.I tried holding down C while booting with the SL disc in the drive.

Nothing worked!

Right now when I turn it on it seems like it boots into OS X(the keyboard light turns on). Then it turns itself off after 5 minutes, then wakes again 5 minutes after that... And just continuing this cycle.

Software :: Upgrade From Leopard To Snow Leopard Not Working?

Feb 17, 2010

I have mac mini (early 2009) running leopard and want to upgrade to snow leopard. I've bought a disk from a local store and when I try to install I get as far as 45 minutes to go when the installer reboots the computer and says it will continue to install after reboot. So it reboots kicks the disk out and reboots back into Leopard. The Apple site says it is probably a bad disk, so I got another one, still does the same. Apple also says it might be the dvd drive, I have no other issues with the drive, it installs the original leopard disks without problem, it reads video dvd's without problem, it verifies the snow disk as perfect.

OS X :: Upgrade To Snow Leopard/any Need To Upgrade Your RAM?

Aug 30, 2009

I am curious about the system requirement of Snow Leopard. Since the performance and speed are better on SL, I think Snow Leopard will consume a little bit more resource of our macs., although I know Snow Leopard is just only the refinement of the software.

So, my question is that WILL YOU UPGRADE YOUR RAM OF YOUR MAC?

QuickTime :: 7 Pro Upgrade Not Working?

Jun 13, 2012

I have bought the registration key and entered it into Quicktime 7. It seems to have accepted it because the icon changed to Pro and it has Quicktime 7 Pro at the bottom instead of 'Buy Quicktime Pro...'  

But... when I go to 'Save As' it is greyed out and leads me to a link to 'Buy Now' but on the US store. I bought my update from the UK store as this is the country I live in and from where my Mac was purchased. Maybe this has something to do with it? I followed a UK store web link to download version 7 before updating. 

All I want to do is convert a normal midi so that I can open it in Garageband. The Apple helpline is closed

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), GarageBand

Applications :: Office Not Working After Upgrade?

Feb 12, 2009

I mistakenly installed microsoft office 2004 (Upgrade edition), which requires office 2001 for it to work, onto my computer before discovering it wasn't the actual package. I then removed it (or thought I did) so I could install Microsoft Office 2004. When I try to open any of the office applications I'm told that I need to locate microsoft office 2001 because it thinks it is still the upgrade

OS X :: Bluetooth Interface Not Working After Upgrade?

May 14, 2009

I have an iMac with 1.6 PowerPC G5 and am running OSX 10.5.7. I just received a notice to upgrade OSX and did so. Now I have lost my wireless keyboard, and when I put my mouse on the header of the desktop to open anything all I get is the dreaded beach ball. I can't open my airport, bluetooth, volume control or anything on the desktop header. I tried to go through System Preferences (which I could open) but when I try to open bluetooth there all I get is the beachball and have to force quit.

MacBook Pro :: Iphoto Upgrade Not Working?

Jun 19, 2012

Iphoto is not working.  When I open it, it says it is upgrading, but only goes to 99% on step five. Do you know how i can fix this and save my photos?  It also doesn't let me click into anything on that window, not even at the bar at the top of the screen, so i have to go into another window and force quit it.  Then it does the same thing over again.  I tried restarting my computer and shutting it down, but it did not work.

OS X :: Text Edit For HTML Not Working After Upgrade

Mar 11, 2010

I recently upgraded from a G5 dual 2.0 (OS 10.4.11) to a new mac mini (OS 10.6.2). I have a website that I maintain after getting a pro to set it up for me many years ago. Basically, I would change the text and images as needed using Simpletext. Yes, doing everything in Classic. Now, I recently made some changes using Textedit, saving as an html. I uploaded using Fetch (5.5) and the page displays only the html and not a web page. I tried doing the same thing in MS Word with the same result.

PowerPC :: IBook Screen Not Working At Startup / Screen Remains Black

Apr 30, 2007

My iBook will not display anything on its screen. Rather, it just remains black. One time, the screen did come on, but then shortly after booting, it flickered a lot and then went black again. A year ago, something similiar happened and when I took it to be serviced (when I had AppleCare), they had to send it away and have a new logic board installed. Now this machine is out of warrenty and and I am not sure what to do, or even if it is the same problem. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

MacBook :: Screen Not Working Fine / Blue Screen Appears And Then Everything Gets Dark

Aug 2, 2010

I have a problem with my MacBook screen. Everytime I try to turn on the MacBook, the blue screen appears for a second and then everything gets dark (but I can see that the computer turned on normally, it's just the screen that gets almost black, without light). Sometimes only the right side of the screen is blue and then gets dark just like the left one. I was looking for the problem and I perceived that the left side seems to be loose and I can't fix it. What should I do?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Wifi / Mail / Preferences Not Working After 10.7.4. Upgrade

May 13, 2012

I've noticed some more people have problems with their Wifi connection after upgrading, but since I'm experiencing some other difficulties as well, I've placed this in a new discussion."About this Mac" says that my iMac is running 10.7.4. I did however see a failure notice when I returned to my Mac that was doing the upgrade. Apparently something went wrong. So after restarting Mac these things happened:

1. No wifi connection. There are no networks to select from, even though another mac ( a mini) has no problems and connects like before).

2. Mail won't start.

3. iCal won't start.

4. None of the system preference panels load (e.g. General, Network, Users and accounts, etc).

I've hooked up my Mac to an airport express by cable which gives me internet access.For now I'll be installing the 10.7.4 Combo Update as suggested in another discussion, to see if this will fix things. For now, not ammused.

OS X Mavericks :: HP C6180 Wireless Printer Not Working After Upgrade

Jun 23, 2014

I've a Macrbook Pro running Mavericks.  My printer is an HP C6180.  Prior to upgrading to Mavericks from Lion, I had no issues printing wirelessly.  I upgraded to Mavericks and I'm unable to print to the printer through wireless.  If I connect the printer to the Macbook via USB it works fine.  I connected it through USB and ran Software Update.  An update for the HP driver was found and installed.  I'm still unable to print wirelessly.  Both Macbook Pro and printer are on the same wireless network.  Nothing has changed with the wireless network.  The only thing new is the upgrade to Mavericks from Lion. 

I found a similar post Unable to Connect to Printer HP Photosmart C6180 which indicated deleting the /Library/Printers/hp folder, restarting, and then reinstalling the the drivers using software update worked.  I did that as well with no luck. 

When I try to add the printer it's just not in the list of printers available.
