After updating OS X Mavericks it won't install or shut down

I was on my MacBook Pro and it said that my OSX Mavericks needed to be updated and that the update need a restart. I clicked the update button and it brought me to a loading screen that said "Installing Software Update" but it's been installing for hours. The loading bar won't move and therefore the update won't install. Whenever I click anyone the buttons, including the manual off button, makes a sound and does nothing. It wasn't plugged in for hours and the status hasn't changed. Are there any combinations or ideas on how I can actually use my computer?

Hold the Power button pressed until your Mac turns off completely. Note that if you just press it your Mac will just go to sleep mode or only the display will turn off, so it is necessary to keep it pressed for about 10 seconds. Then, turn it on again

Illustrator (CS 5.1) crashes after update to OSX Mavericks (10.9)

Illustrator 5.1 crashes while starting the app after update to OSX Mavericks (10.9)
What can I do?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. Never install crapware such as "CleanMyMac" or "Cocktail."
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

The startup disk may need repairing...
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery

HT200189 Why the VPN update for OS X server won't install?

Hello
Why the VPN update for OS X server won't install. It says "VPN update for OS X server can't be installed on the disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update" Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Is OS X Server setup on your MBP as an actual Server running the Services or are you just using it so you can remotely manage another Mac running OS X Server services?
VPN Update for Mavericks Server
Note: the update will only install if you have already launched Server app and used it to set up services.

I downloaded the OS X update for 3 hours...when it was about to install it said that apple must have changed something because it won't install. i forgot what the whole dialogue box said but it was something like that. how do i update my OS if it won't install? bummer.

Download the update from here:

When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer. now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810. Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store. Suggestions?

I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000. There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site. It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

Try quitting Pages on the iPad, restart the iPad - and then see if the app works OK.
To quit Pages - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

MSI Z87I Won't Reboot or Shut DOwn

My new system won't shut down or reboot from the OS (Ubuntu 14.04) or from the BIOS settings, i.e. Settings -> Save & Exit -> Save Changes and Reboot will not reboot the system. All my peripherals will turn off, but the fans stay on and the only way to power off the system is to long-hold the power switch on the front of the case or turn off the power at the PSU.
There is ONE case in which the system will reboot. If I go to Settings -> Save & Exit, choose "Restore Defaults" and then select "Save Changes and Reboot," the system will reboot one time, but it won't reboot or shut down after this.
I'm already on my second MoBo since I thought it was a MoBo issue.
Specs:
SSD: Patriot Pyro 60GB
Memory: 2x PNY 4GBH2X02E99927-16-H
CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 LGA1150
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 500W
I've tried reseating the MoBo as well as testing it outside of the case with no luck.

Ah, thanks! Got it.
It looks to me like that is a different link to the same program, as when I downloaded it I got 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer(1).rar' as the filename, since I had just downloaded 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer.rar' from the link I posted (or perhaps from a page pointed to by that page, I've already forgotten where I got it...)
I notice that the '180' file has a batch file that runs 'fpt'. Am I supposed to run that batch file, or run 'efiflash bios.bin'? (Or both if this is the first time I've flashed the motherboard)

em nope, its the same program. (1) is auto renamed because the same name was already existing in your download folder

no need to run anything
just let the tool to prepare the USB key then boot from it
when this menu appear select option 2:
1 Run Memtest
2 Proceed with BIOS Update
3 Flash back to prevision bios
then press any key after read some safety instructions
then when asked if you want to Run Memtestx86, answer with "N"
then flash will start and will be asked for reboot when its done
you no need to type or run anything manually, its tottaly automated

G5 won't restart or shut down or change startup disc...

(after several updates) my computer won't restart or shut down except manually... which prevents me from changing the startup disc (where all my important stuff is). Option key during startup doesn't give me the startup disc option either.
I'm stuck!
I verified and repaired permissions on both volumes, but can't switch back to the hard drive/OS I need.
If anyone can suggest some helpful info I'd really appreciate the help.

Hi-
Are you using an Apple keyboard? If not, please do so while troubleshooting.
Try resetting the PRAM. Hold CommandOption+PR while starting up. Hold the keys until you hear the second startup chime, then release. The machine should then boot normally.
If this fails to return function, a PMU/SMU reset may be required.
There is a possibility of damaged files within the OS. Boot to the OS install disc, open Disk Utility and run Repair Disk on the Startup volume.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
