Getting Stuck on Auto Updating

Hi
I have a Newish Macbook pro 3 months old , and running Leopard 10.5.1 and when it does the Auto update , It says I need to restart the computer to finish update , when I do this it starts with the Blue timeline but never moves , I have left it on all Night 8/10 hours but still it never Moves , so I presume It is somehow stuck .. so I usually just Hold down the Power Button and then Restart , but it is doing this every time .. ( does This update take more than 8 hours ????????
it says It needs update 10.5.2 .
So if anyone has any ideas how to fix this , or do I need to Manually Install this update ..
if I do where do I get it and How do I do It ..
Thanks For help
Mark

Hello Globalmark,
I recommend you manually download the COMBO update for 10.5.4 (which is Leopards most current release, don't bother with downloading 10.5.2 before, all its changes are included in 10.5.4) from [here|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html]. Be aware that it's about 560MB, but it's worth it: the combo updates are fit for every version of the already installed software.
As a precaution repair permissions before and after the update with Disk Utility (this may take a while).

    Hello samueljacob,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPad isn't booting up completely and is stuck on the Apple logo, then I'd like you to please start with resetting the iPad.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the issue persists, then please follow the steps outlined below.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Photoshop getting stuck attempting to update when at 12%

    Last night I tried to update PhotoShop, and it got stuck at 12%. I cancelled the update, and now, hours later, it still tells me it's "finishing up." I'm locked out of all other updates. How do I fix this? (I'm a brand new Cloud user.)

    I had to force the computer to shut down, but it did clear the message. Thank you for helping me to do that.
    Now I can initiate an update for any program; however, they ALL fail. The message is that the updated information cannot be extracted. Why is this happening?

  • HT6207 Macbook Pro getting stuck after security update 2014-002

    After installing this security update, my mac is acting up, sometimes I am getting a split screen on safari sometimes and then the sometimes computer is hanging up and also when I am using non apple softwares like vlc player or yahoo messenger the mac hangs up? Is it normal?

    The VPN connection to this specific servcie provider has worked for me with previous MacOS and with 10.9. It now fails and the only change to my Macs are that I loaded the Security Update 2014-002 in the of April. I checked by adding the exactly same VPN connection definition to a 10.6 Mac and connected from the same LAN. This succeeded. Thus I suspect the Security Update, or that there is some paramater that now needs to be defined/changed.

  • How do I get firefox to auto update the restored tabs like it used to do?

    It will restore my pages and tabs from the last session, but it no longer updates the tabs with the latest information.

    You need to use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the browsing cache to prevent Firefox from restoring pages from the cache.

  • Software update gets "stuck" checking for updates (Snow Leopard)

    Software update stalls at about 10-20% on the progress bar.  Other internet apps show no connectivity issues.

    Are you trying to upgrade to a higher OS.  Your profile says you are on 10.6.8 which is the highest level of Snow Leopard.  The only improvement on that is to download and install the 10.6.8 Combo updater ... below.

  • AUTO UPDATING KEYWORDS IN BRIDGE

    I have an excell file with lots of keywords, it is constantly being updated on the network by multiple people.
    At the moment i am sending emails to clea rand import the new version everytime.
    Is there a way to get it to auto update every hour for example?
    working on windows 7, CS6

    may not be possible!
    Don't know for Windows but for a Mac there is a back up application called Synchronized Pro (only for Mac) that has an option to highly customizing back ups. You can choose to synchronize (instead of Back up) specific files and folders (including archive files that are replaced by newer ones) set up a time schedule and specific disks.
    It would mean finding a Windows equivalent and a lot of thinking to set up a good strategy.
    And it might be possible using some scripting in either Bridge or the system software itself but that is beyond my knowledge

  • Auto Update Prompt

    We're using Windows 7 in Server 2008 AD. We keep getting the update prompt.
    I have GPO set up with mms.cfg to be sent to user's machine, with these settings in it:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    AutoUpdateInterval=0
    I want to auto update, just silent. How can I get Flash to auto update, and not prompting anyone?

    This is one of the many frustrating issues with SCSM. The Enumeration type must match the property type of the field which will be mapped to the answer. Unlike a Simple List where the answer is presented in plain text and stored as a string, the enumeration
    is of an explicit MP Enumeration type and must match the mapped property field type. SO, extend the Request Template with a field of the apporpriate List Type.
    Dear Microsoft, it would be really nice to have a simple drop down based on an Enumeration and presented as a String, or like above, connected to a DB...or even a CI without the cumbersome grid that accompanies a Query Result.

  • Auto Update Songs

    I use passalong.com to download my files...they go to a folder on my desktop...after I download new songs they do not appear in my Itunes library. Is it possible to get Itunes to auto update my library each time I open it instead of manually adding the songs one at at time. Thanks.

    In short no, iTUnes doesn't "Watch" folders and files like other players do. you could use "Add folder to Library" under file to add the whole contents of the folder to iTUnes
