"Installation will continue after reboot"... then nothing... help?

I have a 1st generation intel imac, 20 inch, and have tried three times to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6 (SL). I have unplugged all accessories, and every time i go to upgrade, at about 1/5th of the way, i get a message saying that the installation will continue after the computer has restarted. It restarts... and then nothing. I have not seen this posted before, so if it has been, I apologize. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm curious about what (if anything) the installer log file says about setting the DVD as the startup disk. Would you mind launching Console, going into the /private/var/log section & clicking on install.log if it is there? Look for a line in the log near the beginning of the lines that start with the date & time of the install attempt that contains the text "Setting Startup Disk" (without quotes). Anything after that that indicates an error? Is there a line (or two) with the text "Bless on Mac OS X Install DVD succeeded" a few lines below that?
Note that you can use the search box in Console to look for these text strings.

    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 the 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.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

    Hi,
    I suspect the IE require reboot and TS cannot catch this. So the TS cannot resume its state.

  • Oracle 10g doesnt restart after reboot...help.

    We have Oracle 10g on a linux 4 ES server. We are just implementing it. After reboots, it does not restart. We have had to reload the software to get anywhere with it several times. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening? Any suggestions on what to look at to try and fix it? Unfortuneately, none of us are very experienced with oracle. Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    There's neither an automatic startup nor shutdown on UNIX systems by default, you have to configure it. This document explains what to do:

  • HT201077 Since upgrading to IOS 7'photos taken on my iPhone are not transferring to the cloud. Sometimes a few will up load but then nothing for weeks. Anyone else had this problem

    Since upgrading to IOS 7 the photographs I take on my iPhone 4S do not transfer to the cloud. Sometimes one or two of them transfer but then none for weeks. I have deleted photos from the cloud in case it is full but to no affect. I use my iPhone in conjunction with an iPad so this is driving me mad. Anyone else have this problem?

    No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
    Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.

  • My iphone 3gs won't allow me to enter my email password.  The acct is all greyed out in the settings menu and now I can't get email.  I restored the phone through iTunes and did a hard reboot but nothing helped!!

    I changed the password on my Yahoo mail account and now the phone will not let me enter the new password.  The mail account is greyed out in the settings menu.

    Try deleting the account and set up a new one. Also make sure to not sync the phone with old email settings.

  • Tiger installs up to disk 3, then nothing!!!

    I am trying to upgrade my iBook from 10.2.8 to 10.4 by way of four CD's. The first two run fine and when the dialog box drops telling me to insert disk 3, I put the disk in, it spins for about 10-15 seconds, and does nothing. I have put the CD 3 in another Mac to see what I could see and it mounted as OS X Tiger Install Disc 3, same as the rest, and I can see the contents of the disc. What gives!?!?!

    Hi andrewt248,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    There is something wrong with your disks. Tiger ships either on a DVD or on (as far as I can remember) 6 CDs if you used the Media Exchange Program.
    You should also consider following this procedure: 10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+Checklist

    Hi godithisudha
    Have you tried backing up phone data and reset *#7370# followed by 12345 (Nokia default unless changed by you) in case anything got corrupted?
    It may be an idea to reformat memory card as well after saving data!

  • When I click on Compose in my gmail acct. I get the error #000. Then nothing works. Gmail info sent me to you.

    When I am in my gmail acct. and click on "Compose" the box comes up and I can type in it, but an error message #000 appears at the top. It says it will retry in "so many minutes" and never does. It just adds time. The retry button only adds to the time in the "so many minutes." You can type in the compose box but it will never send and then nothing else will work. I click on the inbox and it will not response and the same with the other buttons.
    My husband has an account, too and it doesn't do this. I can click compose, type, and send in his gmail acct.
    HELP! I am applying for jobs and this is the email I have given prospective employers.
