Downloading software update 10.6.8 causes computer to get stuck at blue screen

All of a sudden my Macbook Pro would not load past the white apple loading screen; so I ran disk utility, verified and repaired my HD, and still nothing. I then re downloaded the OS X 10.6.3 on my laptop, and got it to boot up and sign me in; when I signed in, the computer was behaving VERY slowly, and none of my applications would open.
So I browsed the suggestions on the support pages, and tried ALL of them to no avail.
I did an erase and re-install of my hard drive; I completely wiped it, then just re installed the original OS from the disk it came with, 10.6.3. I then downloaded the software updates, and upon restarting my computer, it was stuck on the blue screen. Apparently this is a startup disk problem I've heard?
After two more times of wiping the HD and reinstalling the operating system again (several times of which the installation failed), I'm now running on 10.6.3, and terrified to update my software for fear of having it get my computer stuck AGAIN.
Is there something wrong with my startup disk? My hard drive? the software update?

Probably the logic board, maybe a drive problem, but you did a verify (did it  come up with errors in red font?)and disk repair using the disk utility on the install disk and ran it till it came up with this drive appears ok in green font?
Did you run a permissions repair as well?
You can bring it to an Apple store genius bar (make an appointment) and they will diagnose it for free.

  • I am new to this forum. Just installed adobe iplayer for the numerous time. Then decided to have a software update immediately on my mac computer. Then a a small screen appeared afterwards stating the maleware virus was removed. What do I do now?

    Just installed adobe iplayer for the umpteeth time.
    Then decided to have a software update immediately on my mac.
    Then a small screen appeared afterwards stating maleware virus removed.
    What do I do now? Was not aware that I had a virus in the first place.

    That latest update is a removal tool for the Flashback trojan.
    One of the ways the earlier versions of that trojan were distributed was through fake Adobe Flash downloaders.
    Why are you repeatedly installing Adobe Flash Player? (not iPlayer - that's a BBC thing.)
    The only place from which to get the Flash Player plug-in is directly from Adobe themselves - Never Trust a Pop Up that says you have a missing plugin!
    Also be aware that the Flash Player is not a standalone player; it's a plug-in which installs in the Library and is available for all the browsers to use.
    As for what you do now?
    Nothing for the moment - you should be clear.
    But to be on the safe side, go to the Prefences for each of your browsers and disable Java (not JavaScript - that's a whole different animal). As Java is the vector used by the most recent versions, that should ensure you don't get reinfected.

    I'm livid about Apple putting out a software update that could wreck a system like this.
    Every software update is capable of this if there are problems with the Mac that haven't been corrected before the update is applied. It is the Mac itself that performs the update so if it has problems, you cannot expect it to perform normally, especially during an update.
    There is only one even potentially foolproof way to avoid this, & that is to make it impossible for the Mac to either obtain or apply any updates at all. For what should be obvious reasons, this method hasn't been used for about 45 years with any personal computer.
    I suppose it will be easy to restore everything with Time Machine (a new experience to look forward to?). But if we weren't using Time Machine or something else to back up the iMac's hard drive, this would have ruined our lives.
    If losing the data on your Mac would ruin your life, you have no business ever even turning it on without a proven, reliable backup strategy. Macs are machines. Machines can & do break. What more do you need to know?

  • While downloading software update for Itunes, getting message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do.  Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector.  Help!

    No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • Download software updates

    Please help me to update my software to iOS 5.1 as my ipad2 doesn't have software update how can I download software update?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as your tagline indicates that your iPad is on iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is iOS 6.1.3

  • Ipad crash whilst downloading software update

    And it will continue to come back no matter how many times you restart your iPad. Your iPad is in recovery mode now. That's a message indicating that you have to connect the iPad to iTunes on your computer in order to restore it. Something went wrong and there is no way around having to restore the device.
    You can follow the instructions here in order to restore your iPad and make it functional again.

  • Is there a way to 'manually' download software updates?

    Hi guys
    I've just reinstalled OSX on my iMac due to some issues and have found that I can't install Aperture because it requires 10.6.2 and the OS I have is .1. Fine, so I install the software update, but when it is in the installing stage of the process when the computer is restarting, it says that it cannot be installed and that the download may be corrupted etc.
    I have downloaded the item twice and have had the same response each time. So I was wondering if there's a way to download Software Updates manually from somewhere on Apple's site or something so I can try that instead.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks
    Steve.

    Thanks, I'll try the combo update first. I'll make sure to Verify the disk first.
    My internet connection is a Fibre-Optic broadband connection and I'm in Manchester, UK. There was some issues with downloading via Safari before, but now that's sorted out but the problem is persisting with the software update it seems. Hence why I'm trying it this way.
    I'll let you know how I get on

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

  • I have iphone 4s from japan which is a carrier locked (kddi ) it has ios 5.1.1 and now i want to upgrade to ios 6.Can i do the software update or it will cause any harm???

    i have iphone 4s from japan which is a carrier locked (kddi ) it has ios 5.1.1 and now i want to upgrade to ios 6.Can i do the software update or it will cause any harm???

    If you have a Japanese iPhone and are using it with any carrier other than Softbank or AU, then it was hacked, since as the others have said neither of those carriers unlock iPhones. Therefore if you upgrade iOS or restore your iPhone, it will lock back to the original carrier and be unusuable with your current cell provider.
    We cannot help you with jailbroken iPhones. You'll have to look elsewhere for further assistance.

  • Can't download software updates in iTunes - error message "network connection timed out"

    I'm unable to download software updates for my iTouch 4.1 in iTunes.  I have iTunes version 10.5, Windows 7.  i've tried numerous times in the past and always get the same error message.  I'm now experiencing problems with some of my apps. and I've attempted 4 times in the past 2 days to upload version 5.0. It goes thru the whole download (761.61 MB), says "processing file", then closes out and I get the following message:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "xxxxx's iPod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are current and your network connection is active or try again later. Err = .3529." 
    I ran diagnostics and it said everything was fine. 
    Also not all the apps. on my iTouch are in my iTunes library even though I've synced my iTouch numerous times since I've purchased the apps. with my iTouch.  All the apps on my 2nd screen are on iTunes, but none of the apps. on my 3rd screen of my iTouch are in iTunes. 

    Did you check your security software settings? Troubleshooting security software issues
    iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the download of the software and the update process.

    And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
    What can I do?
    Any advice much appreciated

    This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
    This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
    All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.
