HELP! SL stuck in final restart - can't access IMAC

just installed SL 'Family Pack' on my Macbook - all good.
Tried on the IMAC - unfortunately there were 'software updates' ready to go but the install had started. When it got to the first restart it was stuck in 'updates'. So I 'checked for more updates' and then restarted. Once restarted, the SL install icon showed the install had resumed after the restart.
Then at the CONGRATS prompt for the last restart, my IMAC never completed the restart and has been stuck there for over an hour. I rebooted - still stuck. Can't access the imac and dont know how to 'undo' or 'redo' whatever needs to be done. Managed to 'tickle' the disc out of the computer in case the reboot was stuck with the disc. Still no luck. GANT USE MY IMAC! HELP!

Anyone?
I finally managed to download the newest combo update and installed it successfully!
However Safari still doesn't open. It keeps saying the following:
Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
I also finally got access to App Store: but the download of Mountain Lion doesn't complete, because it seems to need Safari.
So I'm still stuck with the two issues:
i) Safari doesn't work, and I can't get it to work unless I can reinstall/upgrade the OS.
ii) I can't upgrade the OS without Safari!
--- unless someone knows a way to install Lion/Mountain Lion _without_ Safari??
Thanks for all your help!

  • Why only final variables can be accessed in an inner class ?

    Variables declared in a method need to declared as final if they are to be accessed in an inner class which resides in that method. My question is...
    1. Why should i declare them as final ? What's the reason?
    2. If i declare them as final, could they be modified in inner class ? since final variables should not modify their value.

    (Got an error posting this, so I hope we don't end up with two...)
    But what if i want to change the final local variable within that method instead of within anonymous class.You can't. You can't change the value of a final variable.
    Should i use same thing like having another local variable as part of method and initializing it with the final local variable?You could do. But as in the first example I posted you are changing the value of the nonfinal variable not the final one. Because final variables can't be changed.
    If so, don't you think it is redundant to have so many local variables for so many final local variables just to change them within that method?If you are worried that a variable might be redundant, don't create it. If you must create it to meet some need then it's not redundant.
    Or is there any alternate way?Any alternate way to do what?

  • Stuck on Apps Store, can't access Music Store

    Since logging into the Apps store, I've been unable to get into the music store. Home button just brings me back to Apps store home. Is the Music store not activated in my home country (Singapore) or something? Help!

    I am in Singapore and I can no longer access the App Store from iTunes! Clicking the categories or using the search function returns the "We could not complete your iTunes Store Request. An unknown error occurred (504)." error.
    Any thoughts as to why this would suddenly start? I was able to use it up until a few days ago--maybe until November 6th.
    Thanks,

  • Need help with my iTunes-new computer-can't access my music

    We just got a new computer and I transferred all of my songs from the old to the new and now when I try to access them in iTunes I get an error message that "it cannot be used because the original file cannot be located" Do I have to put in the DVD with all of the files on it in order to use any of my song? I thought that I saved them to my hard drive, but who knows....HELP!!! pLEase!!!

    You haven't told us enough about what you did.
    You need to explain exactly how you did your transfer.
    If you don't care about your ratings and play counts and your really did copy your files across, there is a simple way of getting going again.
    With iTunes closed drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.itl out of the iTunes folder to the desk top.
    Start iTunes and you will have an empty library. Now simply add the folder with your music files in it - normally iTunes Music - to iTunes with File>Add folder to library.
    If you didn't copy your files across, try putting the DVD in the drive and opening iTunes - can iTunes find your files now. If so it is a sign you added the files to your library without copying them to your internal HD.

  • Help!, pozor!, White MacBook can't  access home internet

    We have 4 MacBooks but only the the oldest one cannot access the internet. We have a cable modem connected to a Time Capsule. The other 3 MacBooks (each is aluminum) connect wirelessly and have no internet problems. Trying ethernet with the white MacBook does not solve the problem. When trying AirPort, signal strength is maximum (4 bars) on the white MacBook. The Network assistant tells me I am connected to our wireless router and the IP address is 10.0.1.7. However Safari will never load a page but after trying for a while shunts me to Network Diagnostics and my attempts flounder with repeated restarts of the modem and router. I'm not sure, but Skype does seem to connect!
    The white MacBook is running 10.6.1. It has a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Model identifier is MacBook 1,1. S/N 4H6229D8U9C
    TIA,
    Allan

    Please ignore the advice to downgrade your computer to an earlier operating system. That's a ridiculous suggestion.
    If I understand correctly, you cannot access the internet on the problem machine via Airport or Ethernet. Is that correct?
    You may want to try resetting Safari and trashing the internet preferences. Here's a step-by-step guide to that process:
    http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=4162
    I would troubleshoot the problem while directly connected to the cable modem via Ethernet. Once you get it working in that mode, try to get it working on the wireless.
    Note that you have not updated the machine to the latest iteration of Snow Leopard (10.6.2). You might want to run Software Update on the problem machine before troubleshooting.
    Edit: Doh! You can't run software update when you have no internet connection! That was stupid advice on my part. You can download 10.6.2 onto one of your other machine and transfer it to the problem machine with a flash drive or over the local network.

  • User can't access camera anymore, root still can [SOLVED]

    since the last udev update, i can't access my camera anymore as user. gtkam gives this error:
    An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not find the requested device on the USB port'): Could not find USB device (class 0x6, subclass 0x1, protocol 0x1). Make sure this device is connected to the computer.
    the camera is a canon A75, vendor 04a9, product ID 305b. lsusb says it's connected to Bus 001 Device 011. i added that info to a custom 010.udev.rules file, but i don't know where to add the USB info. :?: user is in the camera group, btw.
    ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="305b", RUN+="/bin/chmod o-rwx $env{DEVICE}"
    ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="305b", RUN+="/bin/chgrp users $env{DEVICE}"
    ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="305b", RUN+="/bin/chmod g+rw $env{DEVICE}", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    thanks for any help.
    >>edit: turns out root can't access the photos, either. the camera is detected and the photos load and show up in gtkam, but when i try to save them i get an error, e.g., "Problem getting 'IMG_0332.JPG' from folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/103CANON'."  wtf? :?:
    >>edit2: okay, i got it by adding
    SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="305b", GROUP:="camera"
    to a 00.gphoto.udev.rules file and restarting udev (i never noticed b4, but no script? i had to kill udevd and do /usr/sbin/udevd -d).
    is that just a kluge fix though? i don't know anything about udev to know if that's the best way to do it, or if there's a better, more "correct" way. i just want to be able to access the camera from now on without having to change rules or mess around with udev anymore (i thought the point of udev was to have transparency to the user? ). thanks.
    >> edit again: i love having conversations with myself.
    okay, i didn't even notice the gphoto.rules file bfore, but i just added the information for my camera to the file, restarted udev, and it seems to work. if the maintainer wants to add the info for canon A75 to the file, the line is:
    ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="305b", GROUP="camera"

    Nice conversation :-)
    If your camera isn't already in gphoto.rules you should report it to package maintainer (feature request) and/or gphoto devs.
    I wouldn't modify standard gphoto.rules. I'd rather put this rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/00.udev.rules:
    ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="305b", GROUP:="camera"
    to avoid overwriting after next update.
    For restarting udev there is /etc/start_udev (or udev_start or something like this - I can't remember it :-))
    thanks, it is /etc/start_udev - i was looking in /etc/rc.d.
    i moved it back to 00.gphoto.rules so it won't get overwritten.
    now that it's verified working in the standard rules, i'll make a report to the devs to add the cam there.
    is your method for doing this in the wiki? i pretty much only figured out how to do it by reading your posts. if you have time, i think it would be a great wiki item.  8)

  • I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

    I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

    Good Question.
    I downloaded Yosemite a while ago, but didn¹t install it because it would
    knock out several applications such as Solitaire till Dawn But finally
    when some apps wouldn¹t work with my current version of Safari I thought I
    would upgrade Safari but they wouldn¹t work with the OS I was using so
    suddenly I had no Safari and was worse off than before. So I bit the bullet
    and upgraded to Yosemite with the earlier version I already had. Not pleased
    when iPhoto didn¹t work, and it also coincided with an national email outage
    here in Australia by the major carrier so no email either.
    Experience has taught me that it gets sorted out in the end but in the
    meantime...
    And the lesson is [

    Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
    While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
    P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.
