I was installing OSX Yeosmite and it got to one of the restarts and stopped

I was installing the new update on my MacBook air and it was doing fine then suddenly it just stopped on the apple logo and the little bar I have left it all night it then came on at around 5am this morning and wouldn't let me look at any files or do anything just had the beechball cursor spinning and so I restarted it and I am now right back where I was before!
I have tried pressing cmd L and the log files don't come up at all but I can put it into safe mode.
Can anyone please help?

Hi Loz,
I am amazed at the 5 Gb download for Yosemite. That is a quarter of my monthly internet allowance!
However, I started to download it. Progress bar showed 1 day plus. No way! I paused it. Then I saw Launchpad in the Dock showed Paused, with a progress bar.
Click on Launchpad and look for an icon for OS X with a "Paused" tag. Hold down the option key until the icons jiggle. Click on the X top left of OS X to delete it. You will get a question such as: "Do you want to delete Yosemite?" Click on yes (or OK or whatever). Now you should be back to OS X Mavericks your previous operating system.
Regards,
Ian.
MacBook Pro mid 2012 running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
Edit: Now you should be back to OS X Mavericks your previous operating system.

    Shut the power clear off, wait a minute or 2 and restart and see if that clears the problem.

  • I just got a message on my MacBook Pro. It said, message on macbook pro: The system extension "//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBethernetHost.kext" was installed improperly. Please try uninstalling it, or contact the product 's vendor for an update

    I just got a message on macbook pro: The system extension "//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBethernetHost.kext" was installed improperly. Please try uninstalling it, or contact the product 's vendor for an update.
    Anyone have any idea what this is about?

    Sasha-
    Maybe your looking in the wrong "Library". On my Mavericks; I open the HD to see a folder below the Library Folder called "Systems". Open the Systems Folder to see a "Library Folder". Open that library folder to see "Extensions folder". Open the extensions folder to find the "AppleUSBethernetHost.kext" and delete that extention. Following Lanny's post, do this:
    1st- Close iTunes.
    2nd- Delete the system extension “AppleUSBethernetHost.kext” from here:
      //System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBethernetHost.kext
    3rd- go to iTunes 11.4 download, here:  https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    click on the "Download Now" link.
    4th- Find the downloaded iTunes11.4.dmg file, open it, now open the Install iTunes.pkg
      After the re-install as above I got the successfully installed window and no “pop up”
    improperly installed AppleUSBMultitouch.kext warning window.

    Not sure if anyone can help but I have a copy of Photoshop CS5.1. Ever since it was installed, every now and again when I try do something simple like save a file or scale something using the Transform tool, in fact anything at all it comes up with "Could not complete your request because of a program error". Have thought about re-installing  it but I have lost my serial number.  I'm living in Ireland and trying to get to talk to someone in tech support is a complete joke. Any ideas what to do ? Thanks

    Ianp69549740 have you tried reinstalling Photoshop CS5.1?  If so do you receive any specific errors?  What operating system are you using?

    I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open on my computer... HELP!!!!

    Others are more likely to help if you stop needlessly repeating yourself and provide some details.
    What operating system? Windows (XP, Vista, 7) Mac
    Any errors?
    Also, try doing a search either here or via Google, you are more likely to get a faster resolution as there is no need to wait on others to respond.

    Hey everyone-
    Im in the same boat, started a thread . My hands free system worked fine with iOS 8 out of the box new iphone 6. Did the update this morning and i can stream music perfectly fine however i cannot make or receive calls through hands free system.
    I have not tried resetting the settings like most people indicate is working. I feel like I shouldn't have to reset anything, even less mess with settings with an update coming from apple. it should "Just Work"
    Some people who reset said it works for a few hours, other say it don't work, and I don't know what I should do.
    Car: Hyundai Sonata 2014
    NOTE: I was able to replicate the issue in my wifes Hyunday Elentra 2013.
    This is how I know its not a defect with the BT in my car.

  • My OS X 10.9 corrupted and i cleaned everything and installed ubuntu linux. I need clean install OSX again and i cant able to reach OS utility now. Please advise

    My OS X 10.9 corrupted and i cleaned everything and installed ubuntu linux. I need clean install OSX again and i cant able to reach OS utility now. Please advise

    You cannot use a Windows machine.
    No idea if this will work because you have/had Ubuntu installed - hit Command + Option + R keys while restarting/booting up. Once in the Utilities, make sure the drive is formatted correctly and erase it, then reinstall the OS.

  • I was installing mountain lion and now my macbook pro won't start up

    I was installing Mountain Lion and i restarted my computer and now it won't boot up.

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    shut down the Mac
    Hold the Shift key on keyboard and start up the Mac
    The Mac will run the repair tasks it takes 10- 30 minutes, then it will boot up normally

  • I installed osx lion and now wifi led blinks constantly

    I installed osx lion yesterday and now the wifi led on my modem blinks constantly
    even when the mac is turned of.
    Further on, in the left colum in finder there is under "Shared" a icon of a pc and written:
    acer-13db0a52d9
    I never seen this before.
    I tried to open it but the only thing i could trace, was "NEIGHBORHOOD"..
    Am I being Hacked?
    Funny thing, is that this week I saw a guy in the street sitting in his car with a labtop.
    What should I do?

    Right click on the file and select get info. Click on the little padlock at the bottom and enter your password, change your user names permission to Read & Write. ( There will be a list of users at the bottom of the get info box with permissions which you can change.)

  • I was installing an update when I got the error message that the MSVCR80.dll file was missing.  It wants me to reload itunes.  What do I do?

    I was installing an update when I ogt the error message that the MSVCR80.dll file was missing and windows error 126.  What do I do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • My iPhone 4 is only 14 months old over dropped very well looke after, one day the lock button stops then the volume buttons, now the headphone port does not work and the battery lasts about 4 hours after full charge I still have a year left on my contract

    My phone is 2 months out of warranty, it's never been dropped or miss used yet the past week every day something has gone wrong with it. First the lock button stopped then the side volume buttons. Then the head phone port when I putt headphones in the phone turns the volume
    Down automatically and it won't turn up until I take my headphones back out. The battery lasts 4 hours max after a full charge and today I took my phone off the docking charger and all my music has gone! The phone is breaking down more and more everyday what is going on! I know people who have had there iPhones years an non of this happen! I still have a year left on my contract too!

    Who is your carrier and what is your coverage with them? If you are with say Verizon, and have Total Equipment Coverage or Extended Coverage, they will swap it out for you under Manufacturer Warrantee.
