I was prompted to install updates to OSX. Did it crash??

Everything went ok in the download. Then the install....seemed to be working fine. It got to the end. It went to launch and restart the new OSX. But once it got to the black screen , the colored wheel just keeps spinning and wont move. Im afraid to interfere because I am afraid it isnt finishe. What to do???

Force a shut down if you have to by holding the power button for an extended period.
Then restart as normal.

Hi- Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7.

Hi- My Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

Your site says I'm running the most recent version, but I was prompted for an update which will install when I restart. Now I'm thinking it was bogus. Was it?

I'm running version 32. I was prompted by what appeared to be the usual means that there was an important security update. For some reason, I felt uneasy and decided to go to Firefox directly where it said "Congratulations, you are running the latest version.". There doesn't appear to be anyway to keep whatever prompted me from "updating" when I restart Firefox. Does anyone know where on my Mac I could find the file that downloaded so I can delete it before I restart Firefox? OR does anyone know whether quitting Firefox and all my other programs and restarting my machine will take care of this issue?

Firefox '''32.0.1''' was released today as a chemspill update. Updates are done for security and or stability reasons that could not wait for next Release.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/32.0.1/releasenotes/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/32.0/releasenotes/
Firefox 32.0.1:
''Fixed 32.0.1 - Stability issues for computers with multiple graphics cards''
''Fixed 32.0.1 - Mixed content icon may be incorrectly displayed instead of lock icon for SSL sites''
''Fixed 32.0.1 - WebRTC: setRemoteDescription() silently fails if no success callback is specified''

Macbook won't startup after installing update to osx 10.4.8

After I installed the update to OSX 10.4.8 I get the screen with the spinning wheel and then a dialogue box that says the macbook needs to be restarted. Same thing every time. Any ideas?

the sign says to shut down cause of an unresolved kernel panic, right?
That can be because of non-apple software running in the background. for example a widget, gmail notifier, an automatic "check for updates" etc.
You can try holding down the shift key at start up to start without any "extensions". If that works then, the cause is some extra background program running.
I had my "you must restart" signs disapear by removing all such not necessary non-apple software. (rememember to remove both the application and the preferences from the prefencefolder in the library).
If thats not enough, You can also toss away all preferences from the prefences folder. You will have to reset settings in the various programs, but the programs are still there. In mail, you may have to make in import of your mail, which will still be in your MAIL folder in the library. Nothing essential will be removed.
If your roblem persist...THEN you should make an archive and install (or sometimes better..back up your mail, addressbook, calendar, documents, music, pictures, films..etc.. and make a clean install.) But really, most often its a small thing teasing, which can be fixed strategically instead of erarings everything. so try removing non-apple not neccesary auto-running software first.

Lost Cd Rom - prompt when install update

I've got a 6500Slide and had the PC suite installed on my desktop.
I tried updating the software the other day at the prompt for new updates being available.
Got as far as the wizard asking me to insert the CDrom that came with the phone, which I now can't find :-(
Got stuck there - I've uninstalled the software & tried from scratch downloading it again to install but everytime I get stuck at the prompt asking me for the CDrom.
Help! Is there a way I can download & install the software for my phone without the CDrom that I've lost?
Cheers

You should not need the cd to install latest pcsuite. I suggest you remove previous installl and clean using pcsuite cleaner before downloading latest version and reinstalling.
PCSuite Cleaner can be downloaded from

Did you replace your battery with one of as good quality as that you are disposing of. Does the indicaror light show when you start up.

Turn OFF prompt to Install Updates for iTunes (as I deleted iTunes)

Hello:
I deleted iTunes as I did not like it very much at all.
Now I cannot stop the Mavericks Software App Updater telling me there is an update to install. There is no button I can see to say "ignore this update".
I dont want to turn OFF all Mavericks Software App Updater, I just want it to stop telling me about itunes.
how do I do this?
thankyou for your help.

Thankyou Eric
To re-index spotlight in Mavericks OSX , I understood from reading forum posts the steps are a bit quirky.
They are:
1) System Preferences/Sportlight and navigate to the privacy tab
2) add the directory e.g. users which is reallly nearly all my HD
3) close the System Preferences/Spotlight
4) reopen system prefereneces/spotlight
5) and remove the the directory you just added.
Do you know if this is correct?
thankyou

HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)
Now I'm pretty nervous re: syncing with ANYTHING-especially my iPod that has all my music I teach from at work.

Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.

Mail.app crashed after installing update for OSX 10.8.5.

When I open it it starts to import the mailboxes but crashes after about 10 minutes when about a quarter of the messages have been imported.
Please advise me how to restore Mail.
Thanks

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
In Finder, hold down the option/alt key while selecting Go from the Finder menu bar. Select Library. or select Go to Folder and paste in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis.
You can make your user library permently visible with the following Terminal Command.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/

My Address book was wiped out after updating. Where did it go so I can get my addresses back?

I was cleaning up my Address book and the entire list disappeared. Where did it go? I can't find it.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Stuck at boot screen after installing updates.

I was prompted to install updates. Got a message stating that the updates couldn't be installed and that the system will be restarted. When booting it gets stuck at the apple screen with a spinning wheel. A progressbar appears for a while and ticks to about 5% and then disappears. If I leave it there nothing happens for hours except the computer getting very hot.
I've tried to use keyboard commands to boot in either safe mode or from a CD but I can't get them to work.
Using an Imac with a BT keyboard.
Thankful for any suggestions.

I connected usb keyboard and mouse (not mac) and tried a lot of combinations (I dont have an options key).
the equivalent to the options key on a winsloth keyboard would be alt.
to eject the DVD, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
see if that gets you a step further, then post back.

Hi was told that there was an update for itunes yesterday, when to update and this kept failing, was prompted to uninstall itunes and reinstall this continues to fail message coming up says Apple Mobile device failed to start insufficient previlieges

Hi yesterday I was prompted to a update to itunes this I tried to do without success failing a number of times. After this I was prompted to unistall itunes and re install this now continues to fail with a message error something like Apple Mobile Devices Failed to start not enough previlieges. Please help is this a Apple issue Iv'e never had any problems before.

I had this same problem this morning. When I tried to run ITunes after the failed upgrade I got a "msvcr80.dll is missing" driver error.
Following the instructions in step 1 of this link:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm
got the latest version of ITunes up and running for me.
The only thing that didn't quite work like the instructions said was I couldn't get the Apple Mobile Device Support to uninstall. The uninstall ran and said it was successful, but it was never removed from my list of installed programs. Even w/ that, the full re-install fixed the issue.

I was prompted to install updates to OSX. Did it crash??
