10.4.7 Update Failure on G3: Starts up in Darwin

The computer, owned by a friend of mine, is a 5 year old G3 iBook (clamshell, teal colored, single USB, firewire, DVD drive). If anyone has any ideas, it'd be a great help. The first person to troubleshoot this computer didn't really know what they were doing, it seems.
I hear that things went thusly:
10.4.6 update to 10.4.7. Computer would get to login screen but the user couldn't log in. She had previously been set to auto-login. The person that helped her had her computer start up as a firewire disk so she could save her pictures. Then he did "something" and the computer would get as far as the grey Apple screen with the spinning circle. Where it would spin ad infinitum.
This is where I came in. I had her boot up in verbose mode and found a repeating message akin to the following:
"Cannot find root user account. Sleeping and retrying..."
Obviously not good. Booted up the Tiger Install DVD and tried repairing permissions and the disk. The disk was fine and the fixed permissions trivial. It did not help the issue.
We reinstalled 10.4, keeping her user files. The computer restarted properly and everything seemed to work.
She got home last night and updated her computer to 10.4.7 with the combo updater. When she rebooted she was taken to "A black screen that welcomes her into Darwin."
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Help?

No idea what's going on, but I did experience a very similar issue with a G3 iBook 500Mhz. Yours actually got further than mine, though. Mine would just get to a background image and never get to a login screen without booting in Safe Boot. Even then once logged in it would hang. So, reinstalled and going to just do a manual 10.4.6 download and install and tel it to ignore 10.4.7 update.

    I think this happens occasionally, its not a big deal.
    Your box tried again, and eventually got update 5 min later.
    You may want to extend the time on this a bit to help performance... every 5 min does add some load.
    Support had me set mine at 8 hours...

  • Really frustrating update failures. Slowed down my PC by 1000 times

    Hello, I've been using windows 8 from its beta days. But after upgrading to windows 8.1, every major update seems to fail. I've also looked into the history and tried installing them manually but it fails after the stage "copying packages to the windows
    update package". And if this isn't bad enough, my laptop takes about 20-25 minutes to shut down. It keeps showing "preparing updates, please don't turn off your computer". 
    I am getting really frustrated since there is nothing I can do about this. And this doesn't seem to be the first time, it happens every time there is a major update. 
    Also after this update failures, i seem to have other issues such as
    Wifi stops working after 5 minutes of youtube streaming
    chrome crashes more often than ever
    performance in general has been absolutely awful 
    None of these happened before. Also I do not have any viruses or malwares.
    Currently failed updates.
    KB2887595
    KB2919355
    Should i just downgrade back to windows 7? Or is there a permanent solution to this problem. 
    Also when I install the update manually, the error says "The system cannot find the path specified" 

    Hi,
    Are there any error code? please also check Windows\logs\cbs for the detailed information.
    for KB 2919255, this is a known update , we call it Windows 8.1 update 1, you can refer to this link ans see if it can help you
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/install-latest-update-windows-8-1
    You can also clear the software distribution folder, then install the updates again.
    At the Command Prompt type the following commands one at a time:
    net stop wuauserv   hit enter
    net stop bits     hit enter
    Now browse to the C:\Windows\Software Distribution folder and delete all the files and folders inside. 
    net start wuauserv     hit enter
    net start bits    hit enter
    Meanwhile, keep your windows uo to date before installing the two updates. KB 2919442 is the prerequisite to install KB 2919355

  • Getting "Firmware Update Failure" when restoring

    My ipod mini kept giving me the folder and exclamation point icon and resetting didn't work to make it stop. I tried a few times to restore, but it keeps giving me the message "Firmware Update Failure. Disk Write Error" whenever I try to restore. Now what do I do? My ipod still just gives me the folder icon.

    A couple of tricks to try:
    1) Plug in whatever was last connected (charger, peripheral) and then try rebooting. Sometimes it just wants to see the last config
    2) Try mounting on PC as USB drive (may take multiple tries). If successful, then REFORMAT just like an external HD.
    At that point, you can "start over" with iPod update.

  • Software Update Failure (Curve 8520) using a Mac

    Blackberry Website - http://uk.blackberry.com/software/smartphones/update/smartphone.html
    says,
    "Update on the web - On a Mac
    • You will need to download BlackBerry® Desktop Software to update your smartphone software. Once installed, connect your smartphone to your computer and you will automatically be prompted to update."
    - It DOESN'T automatically update
    - We have to open BlackBerry Desktop Software file which has Import Media, Device Options buttons on the main screen, as well as Back Up, Restore, Applications and Sync buttons on the Tool Bar
    - When we click on Applications, a box comes up with a list of apps (checked and unchecked boxes), Check for Updates, Cancel and Start. buttons  If we click on Check for Updates we get "There are no updates available for your BlackBerry device".  If we click on Start we get a message which reads:
    "BlackBerry® Desktop Software failed to validate your BlackBerry® device update.

  • Desktop help Update failure

    On attemting to update Desktop help I get a failure:
    Update failure.
    The update failed for an unexpected reason. We recommend restarting your computer and trying the update again.
    Needless to say when I restarted and retried i get the same failure
    N.b. A few days ago I posted a problem because the DTH download failed and a fix for that was provided. I originally added this problem to the thread on that topic - but noone replied so I guess it was lost in the volume of posts. Therefore
    I am starting a new thread in the hope someone can advise.

    you have had a reply on your earlier post it is best not to start new posts on the same subject as it could cause you to miss a reply

  • Does anyone know how to solve: "Firmware update failure. Disk write error"?

    Hi all,
    Here is the list of all what went wrong and where I am now:
    1. My Ipod worked well
    2. I wanted to update it, you know, the normal thing with Itunes
    3. Every time I tried, my computer froze. I was unable to add only one song (both automatically and manually).
    4. I took my external drive (where my music is) at work and tried again: same result.
    5. I decided to run the Updater I have on the CD that came with the Ipod.(2005-02-07; I usually avoid the newer version, having had once a problem when putting a newer version of Updater).
    6. The Updater was unable to operate any action on my Ipode (I don't remember the messages now).
    7. Like I tried what I describe here above like a hundred time. I decided to format the Ipod with Windows (My Computer, right click on the Ipod, format).
    8. It did and now I have only the famous folder with an exclamation mark on my Ipod.
    9. Now when I am running the Updater, it says it cannot Restore the factory settings giving this message "Firmware update failure. Disk write error".
    I would appreciate any help because, during the last 2 hours, I read and tried all I found on the Support Help here on the Apple web side without any result yet.
    Thank a lot for your answer

    Hi Cyrille,

  • Windows 8.1 Update Failure : We couldn't complete the updates, Undoing changes

    Yesterday I built my first computer and I installed Windows 8.1 on it, everything was running perfectly fine until today. This morning I had an update notification and I installed it, about half way through the update an error occurred and it said it couldn't
    complete the update and it was undoing the changes. I left it on that screen for about an hour and nothing happened. I tried finding what the update was, so I went to recently installed updates, and there was about 40 of them from just today. Whenever I tried
    to uninstall any of the updates, it said error, preventing me from deleting any of the updates. I was wondering if anyone could help me try to uninstall/re-install this update.

    Hi Kmanxx,
    The update failure might be caused by a variety of reasons such as connection issues, incomplete Components and firewall. For troubleshooting, specific error code of the failure update will be helpful.
    You also could find installation failure events and error code in log files, such as WindowsUpdate.log (C:\Windows\ WindowsUpdate.log) and CBS.log(C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log). Here you first want to search for “error” in your logs. This will search for
    Error entries. Focus on the day the installation attempt occurred. Refer to your time line of update log, find what error happened. Of course you could post your log content and we’d like to give it a look.
    How to collect the specific error code of failure update:
    We can do this by viewing your update history.
    1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (or, if you're using a mouse, pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen and moving the mouse pointer up), and tap or click Settings.
    2. Tap or click Change PC settings, and then Update and recovery.
    3. Tap or click View your update history.
    View failed update error code.
