I updated my software and now for hours my computer has been "setting up"

I updated the software on my Mac Pro.  When I turned
It back on, it said "setting up your Mac".  That was about
11 hours ago.  It will not let me do anything.  The little
Round rainbow is just spinning.

Sound s like the system had pre-existing directory or other concerns before hand. 
Idea I have is to backup and clone, repair t he system drive, do a safe boot maybe, and then apply an update.
Might try Safe Boot after you use Recovery Mode to use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive.

  • I updated my software and now, even though I installed an updated Flash player, I can't see videos with Safari. Help?

    I updated my software and now I get the message blocked plug-in whenever I try to watch video in Safari. I installed the new Flash player but it still doesn't work. I've checked my plug-ins and uninstalled/reinstalled but nothing works. What can I do? Help

    Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
    Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
    On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:

    The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
    You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
    If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:

  • Updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer.

    I updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer. My phone has also been freezing regularly since I updated.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • How to solve this. It happens even when firewall is disabled. Apple TV: "Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689" alert in Windows

    How to fix this. Happens even when firewall is disabled.  (Apple TV 1st generation)
    Apple TV: "Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689" alert in Windows

    After a few hours the same issue started again. (Port 3689 error) I checked my router settings and it shows ATV asd connected to my netrwork. ATV also shows in iTunes devices. It asll works till I try to sync. Then the error pops up
    I tired restoring ATV to factory settings. Even backed iTunes up to version 8 and every combonation therein. I started an older Gateway running Vista 64bit and it syncs fine with ATV although it's slow and I have to transfer movies  from my Win 7 to tyhe Vista machiner.
    I cannot find any reason for this issue. Can anybody solve this before it dribves me crazy? (Crazier)

  • Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off

    I am on Oracle 11.1.1.7 BPM suite on W8 64 bit. I can't launch the flow trace and get the error "Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off".  I have set the audit level to development at the soa-infra>SOA Administration> Common Properties > Audit level set to development and Capture Composite Instance State is Checked.
    Can somebody advice.
    Thanks

    Can you please confirm me the following steps...
    Log in to the EM console, Expand soa-infra (soa_server1) , go to the partition where your composite is been deployed, Click on your composite, On the right, click on the dropdown Settings and choose Composite Audit Level. you can choose to set the Audit Level for this composite. If you choose Inherit, it will take the settings to what the server is being set to. Otherwise, we can override it by choosing Off, Production, or Development.
    Make sure your setting for that composite is not Off, keep inherit or production or development.
    Thanks,

    I update my software, which was suggested by mi Ipod "ajustes". It finished and it asked me to connect it to the Itunes. I did so. The Itunes updated the software, and it says "Debe restaurar su Ipod" ... when I try to restore my Ipod it says "error"... and now my ipod is like freeze with the apple like when you turn it on, and with the bar which is not moving.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I tried updating my software, and now its telling me I need to restore my phone

    I went to update my software, waited the full time, and as it was finishing it told me I couldnt do the update at this time. And now its telling me to connect my phone to iTunes and the only option I have is to restore it. Someone please help.

    Don't panic. The same thing happened to me. When I tried to restore, I got the error message again, so I had to try to restore a third time. Fortunately, it worked. Try it a couple of times it it doesn't work at first. Once you restore, use your backup file from your last sync on iTunes fully restore your phone (it will ask if you want to do that). It will give you the new iOS and bring back all your apps and settings (fingers crossed).
