How to cancel MacBook Air software update installation?

My MacBook Air shows that it is installing the software update (latest version) but has not made any progress on the progress bar after 5 hours. Any ideas? Can the update be cancelled?

It's probably already installed.  Check in about this mac, more info.  The latest update will place the SMC Version to:
1.73f65   for the 13" 2011 MBair.

  • MacBook Air software update 1 and Chrome.

    Has this update solved the issues people were having with Chrome?
    Want to install but am put off by the reported problems.

    I think when Chrome released their update the problem went away.  Not sure if this update plugs the underlying hole but the problems gone away.

  • MacBook Pro Software Update Results in Singlu-User Mode

    Hello,
    Since I have had problems before with Software update, I have decided to install one item at a time to find out which update packages cause problems.
    When I installed the latest "MacBook Pro Software Update", which is strongly recommended, I ended up getting stuck with the single-user mode and now I cannot get out. When I boot, I get a console instead of a Graphical User Interface. I am really tired of Tiger. I have used Linux for the past 9 years and found it to be excellent. I expected much more from Mac OS X when I first bought my system two weeks ago. I already did an "Archive and Reinstall" and I don't want to do it again.
    How can I go back to the usual GUI environment?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Here is the solution to the problem. It is simply due to XCode installation. For some reason, one needs to perform the "MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0" after an "Archive + Install" before installing any other software.
    If Xcode is installed before the update, something gets messed and the computer keeps booting to a Console instead of the GUI.
    Hope this helps to others,

  • MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 continues to appear

    This has been the first really strange issue since I upgraded to Leopard. Ever since the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 in Software Update, it continues to appear as if it was not installed. If I look at my installation log, it shows that I have installed it about 9 times since it was released. Here are the last few entries in my installation log:
    2007-12-21 22:17:05 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)

    Is it safe to ignore this update? What is going on? Is there something wrong with my system? I haven't noticed any other problems.. I have no idea how Mac OS X determines if I need an update or not.

    OK, here's what i did:
    1) navigate to the: /Library/Updates sub-directory
    (as in: "Macintosh HD" - "Library" folder - "Updates" folder
    2) there should be a file named, "index.plist" - this is
    the definition file for the update - i suspect this should
    be removed by the Updater once the update is complete.
    3) rename the file (don't delete it) ... i renamed the
    file to, "index.plist.onhold"
    you probably don't have to, but i rebooted the system, to
    ensure nothing broke. afterwards, i did a "Software Update"
    and it reported the system is up to date.

  • How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

    How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
    Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
    I am using Bootcamp.

    Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

  • MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1

    I am having the same issue many others are having in regards to the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 installing again, and again, and again, and again, ... Maybe you see the point.
    I have browsed the Discussions, and tried some suggestions, (case sensitive) but it still installs, again and again, and again...
    I am a little worried why Apple has not addressed this. This problem has existed since 12/18/2007. I think we have endured this long enough. If apple is not going to provide help, are there any users out there listening that have spent effort and found a solution.
    I am all Ears!!!
    Thanks, Steve

    I have tried the solution listed here about case sensitive journaling. However, it did not help me.

  • MacBook (Pro) Software Update 1.1 stays in the update application

    As of the release of the MacBook (Pro) update to fix some keyboard/mouse issues (I didn't notice any problems) I'm not getting rid of the update in the updater:
    It installs, reboots and pops up again. I've done this process several times now and if you go to
    Preferences -> Softwareupdate -> Installed updates
    it is there twice.
    After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
    After that "forced" reboot, it worked like before - except the broken software update.
    That's what I found in the logs, but I've no idea...

    Anyone?

    I have those same messages in the install.log.
    My Software Update.log shows this:

    After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
    Well, this is what fubar Software Update.
    If you feel the update was installed properly, Software Update can be set to ignore the update.

  • Problem with MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1

    I've installed the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 on my 17" MacBook Pro. Seems to have fixed any keyboard issues I may have been experiencing. But every time I run software update this particular update wants to be installed again. I've run the install three times and it's still being flagged as being needed.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Only thing that I suspect is that it's because I've got my HD formatted as case-sensitive. I've noticed that formatting a drive as case-sensitive will break several popular games.
    Can't we standardize on case-sensitive volumes yet, it's the 21st century for crying out loud!

    I had the same issue.
    How did you figure this out?
    I was on the phone for almost two hours (mostly waiting) with support and they simply came up with 'Archive' and 'Store' and 'Rebuild' your system, which quite frankly would not have fixed this issue because I still would have a case-sensitive drive.

    How can I undo a software update?

    That indicates something went wrong. Make sure no anti-virus software or firewalls are running on your system. Make sure iTunes is up to date. Then, follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:

  • Motion crashes - Macbook Pro Software update and Firmware update

    Anyone out there that is working with Motion 3.0.1 on one of the new Macbook Pros (Santa Rosa) and has installed both the Macbook Pro Software Update 1.0 and the EFI Firmware update (for the 15 inch models)???
    Motion 3 crashes on the Macbook Pros with the MBP Software update installed (see thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1028746&tstart=45
    The solution so far is to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch EXCEPT the software update 1.0. However, I'm trying to find out if anyone has installed the Firmware update, which requires the software update to be installed first, and if they are running smoothly.
    ???

    I just restarted then tried to open InDesign again and it let me download a java update that seems to have fixed it.

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • How do we get a software update for realplayer tha...

    How do we get a software update for realplayer that comes with the phone ?  Thanks.

    You wait for a firmware update that includes it.
    S60v5 phones also have a gizmo called "Application update". Sometimes elements in the firmware receive an update that way. For example, there was recently an update to FlashLite 3.1 on the 5800 XpressMusic.

  • How can I tell what Software Update Groups are members of Deployment Packages?

    I have a single SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 server running on Windows Server 2012.
    I am trying to clean things up a little bit and I am curious:
    How can I tell which Software Update Groups use
    which Deployment Packages?  I don't see it on the Properties of either one.
    Thanks!

    Funny thing is that you can't see from the software update (in the software update group) in which deployment package(s) it exists. Your only options are manually comparing every single update (not really an option), or use PowerShell and do something
    like this:
