10.8.3 update not completed and requests restart but restart does not complete the installation.

After runnng the 10.8.3 update on my newest IMac, a restart is requested.  No matter how many times a restart is accomplished, the update remains flagged in the app store.  About this Mac reports 10.8.2.   The update was permormed on my other I-Mac and MBP without issue.  Any suggestions on how to remedy this update issue?

  • HT1414 I had an update to do, did the update and was doing the setup. when the question Apple ID security came up, I check not now and hit next, but it will not continue anywhere

    Had an update to do, started the update and all was good until it came to the Security question during setup
    I chose Not Now and hit next, but it will not go any further.

    Reset and try again: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

    My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

    How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

    I am not sure I understand you question, but if you are attempting to set up an iCloud email account, you can start in System Preferences >  iCloud > Account Details. Establishing the details of your iCloud (a.k.a. Apple) ID there automatically creates the account in Mail

  • IPhoto does not open back-up library and requests library manager which does not work either

    Hello,
    I have a problem and NO idea how to fix it. I try to write it in bullet points to make it easier to read:
    - My MacbookPro (from 2009) with current software (mavericks, all updates) went offline due to lack of battery while I was working in iPhoto
    - When I rebooted the Mac, iPhoto said that the library is damaged and should be repaired
    - The "repaired" version had lost tons of organizing elements (e.g. the order of the pictures and so on) so I used my time machine and took a back-up of the library from 1 hour ago
    - The back-up library was copied successfully in the according file (user-pictures) after I deleted the current one
    - When I wanted to open iPhoto now it requested to use the library manager as the version of the pictures are "old"
    - I downloaded the library manager and tried to use it, however, this tool explains me now that the pictures were used with a newer version of iPhoto so I shall open iPhoto instead
    - Again, when I then try to opne iPhoto, it requests the library manager and so on
    So, I am not able to get access to my pictures again, although the library in the folder seems to be of correct size (around 55 GB). Does anyone have any idea how to fix that problem?
    Many thanks in advance!!!
    Johannes

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Update of MySQL and SQL Server JDBC Driver does not work in 1.2.1

    Hi,
    always after the update process is started i got the MySQL and SQL Server JDBC driver
    update notification.
    But all the time after i install the update i got the notification again but no errormessage
    that the update was maybe not successful ???
    Frank

    Ok
    then my subject was false
    i always try to update the extensions and now i can see that they are updated on the filesystem but the IDE does not recognize them as updated
    ....\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\extensions\oracle.sqldeveloper.thirdparty.drivers.mysql
    is available and new after the update process
    and under
    ...\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\tmp\update\oracle.sqldeveloper.thirdparty.drivers.mysql.5239.zip
    the downloaded zip file is also available.
    In the update window the message is that the extension with version 5206 is available
    Maybe that is the problem cause the downloaded files are version 11.1.1.5239
    if you look at the bundle.xml file inside the META-INF directory

  • First tab will not close and address bar in tab does not update.

    The first tab and its address bar are not working as expected. I am unable to close the first tab using the close icon on the tab or by selecting close tab from right click menu.
    I also find that the address bar when displaying the first tab does not display the current web address, only text that has been previously written into the address bar field.

    While trying to figure out a solution, I removed my themes and I closed the tabs I could, then clicked on the new tab button, doing so changed my original tab into an (Untitled) tab and created a new (Untitled) tab. I then found I couldn't close either tab, I clicked on new tab again, got a third (Untitled) tab, which again I couldn't close. I then closed Firefox choosing not to save. This appears to have fixed the problem; however I do not know which of the above action(s) resolved it.
