Error when Running a software update

I was running the software update button on my mac book pro. It was almost finished then my mac went to the blank grey screen with the apple logo in the middle. There is a loading circle beneath the apple logo. It is still moving, but it has been doing this for over an hour and a half now. What do I do?

Argh ... the 10.4.9 update can take a few minutes at restart, but it shouldn't take that long. I think you're going to have to hold the Power button until it shuts down ...
Some people have been unable to restart their Mac after this update failure so be prepared to use the Install DVD and try booting from that (hold C at start) if it won't start normally.
When you come to updating again use the COMBO updater not the smaller DELTA one ...

    When I go and look into the Data Services repository AL_BW_REQUEST  table, the first time the job is run, all five fields in this table populate with data successfully.

    If I truncate this table and re-run the DS job, it will not populate the VALUE and DF_NAME fields. 
    Does anyone know what could be causing this? The target source is BW.
    Seems like a bug to me.

  • In running the Software Updater, I encountered an error: "System Extension cannot be used" ... System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used.

    While running the Software Updater, I encountered an error: "System Extension cannot be used" ... System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used. Can somebody help me resolve this error message. Would this error affect my ability to run FaceTime ?

    Seems pretty clear to me. Here's what you can try:
    Open Terminal in your Utilities folder. Paste the following at the prompt:
         sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
    Press RETURN. Enter admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed so type carefully. Press RETURN again.
    Restart the computer.

  • When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message

    When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message (stopped err = -3259). Is there a solution for this???

    Did anyone solve this?
    I'm still having this issue. I also had the same issue when trying to download a large update for an app (43MB). I can download and install smaller udpates but I can't even download the large updates. I've checked all of my firewall settings and they are fine. I've turned off the firewall when trying to download the update and it still does not work. It just keeps saying that my network connection timed out.
    I'm not at the stage where I can't install new apps because it requires the latest OS version on my iphone which I can't get!

    When I try to update my iPad 3 4g to iOS 5.1.1, i keep getting error trying to find software update, I've tried several things already, but nothing seems to work.

    Perhaps, iTunes can't communicate with the Apple uodate servers. Temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software would help. Take a look at this.

    There was as error when i tried to update my itunes. I am trying to reinstall but now i get an error message saying to verify if I am able to have apple mobile service. How do i do that?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Hi,
    did you check which servers has FSMO roles?
    You can do that via command prompt: netdom query fsmo
    For forestprep you must do that on DC which have Schema Operations marter role.
    Command
    Domain controller
    Number of times to run the command
    adprep /forestprep
    Must be run on the schema operations master for the forest.
    Once for the entire forest
    adprep /domainprep
    Must be run on the infrastructure operations master for the domain.
    Once in each domain where you plan to install an additional domain controller that runs a later version of Windows Server than the latest version that is running in the domain.
    Note
    Domains where you will not add a new domain controller will be affected by adprep /forestprep, but they do not require you to run adprep /domainprep.
