HT201366 Macbook Pro not proceeding with Update

Hello Community,
My Macbook Pro (early 2011) has halted at the end of the installation process, when it states "Less than a minute". What should I do? Is there any risk to the system if I do a cold shutdown?
Any help would be appreciated.
Best,
Marcel

The problem was about the above mentioned Security Update
Update 2013-003
I solved the problem by forcing the Mac to shut down. After that the update had to be repeated, which then worked out fine.
Thank you for your help!

  • June 2012 Macbook Pro not compatible with external display?

    I have been using an Acer X203H monitor with my old macbook pro (15" model) with the apple dvi-vga cable with no issues. But I have recently purchased the above mentioned macbook pro so I also bought a thunderbolt-dvi cable in order to use my external monitor. Basically, the monitor just keeps telling me that there is 'No Signal' and shuts down. Why is that? Is it a compatibility issue between my monitor and my new macbook pro? Or is it because (as I have just realized) I am doing a very roundabout way of connecting my computer to my monitor (thunderbolt-dvi-vga)? If I get a thunderbolt to vga cable will the monitor work properly?
    Any insight at all would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    btw, the old macbook pro is from 2008 and is pre-unibody

  • Is there any updates since February 2014 re: macbook pro not working with Smartboard?

    My computer recognizes that it is attached but will not display what is on the desktop. I am currently running Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro and trying to project in onto a Smart Board 600 series.  The MacBook Pro used to work with Smart Board; now, all of a sudden it does not work.  And, sometimes it will project, but many times it simply will not.  I am using a brand new adapter, and projection works with my Epson Powerlite 78 at home. 
    Smart Board refers me to Apple Support believing the conflict to be hardware.  Incidentally, I downloaded Smartboard software to my MacBook Pro previously, but uninstalled it because it was causing crashes to my computer. But, users do not have to download SmartBoard software for projection.
    Are there any possible solutions to my inquiry?  Thank you for any considerations.

    Hi, well basically our family got BT infinity about 2 weeks ago, and it worked with my macbook for about 3 days or so, but after that just suddenly stopped working. It says it's connected in airport and gives full connection, but chrome, spotify, skype, etc do not work. However the rest of the computers in the house which run on windows do work. For the last week or so I have been using a neighbour's open wireless (Netgear) which has been pretty consistent if a little slow. So basically, is there anything i can do? i've pretty extensively looked at all the forums regarding MBPs and routers, and it seems it may be a mac fault (meaning i may be in the wrong forum.) but any help would be appreciated. thanks.
    Hi there,
    It sounds to me like you're having troubles with the wireless channels on the Home Hub.
    Here's what I'd suggest you do: Download istumbler on your Mac (or inssider 2 on your PC) and use this to check which wireless channel you're currently on and if need be, change to a less congested channel.
    I hope this info helps.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

    Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
    Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
    Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
    Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
    I am running Snow leopard.
    I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
    I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
    Thanks

    Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
    The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
    Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
    What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
    I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
    Hope that helps.

  • Macbook Pro not booting after update. ''Disk Utility can't repair disk''. Help needed!

    I have recently updated my macbook pro as I had some pending software updates. I left it to do the job over night and the next day I noticed it was not letting me sign in to my account session as usual.
    I restarted the computer and ever since then when I boot it, it just shows the apple grey screen with a bar that loads to about a 3rd and then it turns off again. I have contacted apple but they were unable to help me with this.
    So far I have tried to:
    1. Re-install OS X 10.8 - but it says the disk is locked or OS X cannot be installed on Recovery HD.
    2. Verify and Repair the disk and I errors but it cannot fix them. Some are:
                   'invalid leaf count''
                   ''missing thread record''
                   ''incorrect number of file hard links''
                   ''overlapped extent allocation''
              and it finally says ''the volume Macintosh HD cannot be repaired'' Error: ''Disk Utility can't repair this disk.. disk, and restore your backed up files.
    I would like to know a way to back up my files so that i can completely restore the disk without any data loss as I havent backed up for a while!
    If anyone has any solution to this issue it would be much appreciated!

    I just ran the Disk Utility, and cannot very disk. It gives me an error message;
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    and when I run the repair, this is the message:
    The volume GERRARD could not be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    Repair attempted on 1 volume
    1 volume could not be repaired
    Prior to running Disk Utility, I have already tried DiskWarrior, and could not repair my disk. Anyway I can fix this problem??? Formatting the disk would be my last option (though I am unsure if it will fix the problem). Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I will continue to back up my file, and delete unused data and try to run it again.
    Thank you all very much for any input.
    Cheers,
    Matt

  • New MacBook Pros not compatible with Adobe CS6

    I am having constant crashes with inDesign cs6 on new MacBook Pro. Lost a lot of the functionality of my printer—NO LONGER DUPLEXES! That was the purpose of that printer. Anyone with similar experiences. Shame on Apple for not coordinating efforts with Adobe before release!!!

  • Will MacBook Pro NOT work with my HP Business Inkjet 1000 printer??

    HP Business Inkjet 1000 Printer driver not available  for MacBook Pro?    Somebody please help    Realtor Jo !

    HI , Welcome to the HP Support forums!
    I understand that you're having issues printing from one of your computers to your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer. I would be happy to look into this with you.
    How is the printer connected this computer? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless) Please download and run the Print and Scan Doctor, it will likely diagnose and resolve the issue you are experiencing. What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    For wireless or wired connection issues, I would try the steps within this guide: An 'Unable to Find the Printer'.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck!

  • Why did my Macbook pro not come with a Lion CD or USB?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model with lion installed. The mac came with lion. But why did my mac not come with a CD or USB for lion?

    No Mac comes with a DVD or USB for Lion, everything is done online now.  For those who absolutely must have a USB you can buy Lion on a USB drive for $70 or thereabouts.

  • Messages on MacBook Pro not syncing with iPhone

    Hi,
    I'm using an iPhone 5 running IOS 8.3 and a MacBook Pro running 10.10.3. 
    In the past I have been using messages on my MacBook and my iPhone.  If I sent a text via my phone, it showed up in messages on my Mac and vise versa.  Since the iWatch has come out and I upgraded my IOS on my phone, the messages work on both devices but I cannot "see" them on both.  In other words, if I start a conversation using messages on my mac, it works fine, but they don't show up on my phone.  Same holds true in the reverse.
    I have deleted the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist from my User Library and rebooted.  I double checked settings on my phone, and my apple ID and my cell phone number are set up for both sending and receiving. I turned my phone onto Airplane mode and back on, and restarted all devices multiple times.
    While I'm not crippled and can send/receive messages from both devices, I would like to get them so conversations are showing up on both devices.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
    TIA
    Nancy

  • Itunes on macbook pro not synching with iPad

    I am trying to copy music that is in iTunes on my Macbook Pro to my iPad.  When I connect the two devices and begin the synching process, none of the music and playlists on my Macbook Pro transfers to my iPad, which currently says I have "No Music."   I subscribe to iTunes Match and thought whatever I had on my Macbook Pro would also be available on my iPad. On my iPad I do have iTunes Match and Show All Music turned ON.  

    This topic has been discussed in-depth on this forum.
    With iTunes Match enabled on iOS devices traditional syncing via USB or Wi Fi is diasabled. All music management takes place directly on the iOS device. To sync via USB turn off iTunes Match on the iOS device.

  • Macbook Pro not working with replacement logic board

    Hello everyone! About two months ago, someone spilled tea over my macbook pro. Upon taking it to the Apple store the representative told me that it would cost me over $1,000 to repair it and that I would be better off getting a new one (I know most of you have heard that many times). I inspected the Macbook and I realized that when I tried turning it on the keyboard would not light up and, but the sleep light was on. Furthermore, I heard the hard drive and the fans spinning. The tea only spilled on the right side of the Macbook so I figured that would help me narrow down the issue. The apple representative told me that I needed to replace the logic board so I went and bought a replacement one that was the same model. Before I screwed all the pieces back in, I wanted to try it out and see if it would turn on. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. It seems that the logic board is not the problem, but I am not sure what it might be. I'm pretty sure the CD/DVD drive is damaged, but I don't see why that would prevent the Macbook from turning on. I did a little research and I notice that most people test the graphics card to see if it is working, but I don't know how to do that. I have an older Macbook Pro, the motherboard is model 820-1993-A and I believe the model of the Macbook is A1150. Please help, this macbook was a gift and I don't want to throw it out!

    Well I would like to find out what the piece is that is causing me the problem so that I could replace it! I already replaced the most expensive piece and the hard drive seems to be working fine so it doesn't leave many things. I just would like to know how I would be able to check to see if the video card is damaged.

  • MacBook Pro Not Working with Dell V715W Printer?

    Hello.  I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch that's hooked up to a Dell V715W Printer.  I can print out a test page fine, but nothing else.  It always says "Filter Failed." Sometimes, however, a message comes up with a TON of code and details with the subject saying: "CUPSdriver quit unexpectedly."  What should I do to fix this?  Please help me!

    Reset the printing system.  Google for instructions.
