IOS Update stalled during install...should I reboot?

Doing a required update to the software on my mac mini (so I could then update the ios on my iphone4s) seems that the update stalled during the 'installing files' step. Should I power off and try again? Help...

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

You are right. There are a lot more self-support tools available in Windows
than in MacOS. All you ever get on a Mac is "That didn't work: -304998173".
Thanks for your insights.

The upgrade is not the 11.0.06, but that is an update. The upgrade is what
you can purchase if you had a previous version of Acrobat (at least AA 9).
The upgrade is substantially less in price than the full product. With the
upgrade you also have to have the SN of the previous product available for
the install. That is why I asked about the upgrade. Once you install AA XI,
then going to 11.0.06 is a free update (updates are changes in the
sub-version and are done quarterly or when there is a critical security
issue). You can often fix installations by running a repair. In Windows
that is done either from Help>Repair or from the Control Panel. I do not
know the equivalent of the Control panel in the MAC. In any case I am glad
you got it fixed.

Applying all update\patches during 'install software update' step

Hi,
I have created software update group (around 10 updates\patches) and deploy it to 'unknown computers' collection. Ts 'Install software update' step scans through and only installs 2 updates out of 10. I have kept deploy property as 'required' while publishing
on 'unknown computers' and 'install software update' has 'All Software update' selected (other option is mandatory update'). I want to have all the 10 required update to be installed . any idea what should be the settings on 'deploy' prperty for software group
that install all the updates in the group during 'install software update' step? Any pointers will be appreciated
Regards,

Hi,
Yes , they need a reboot and reboot is happening automatically. I believe, once reboot is done, other patches should take over with installation. I don't see any information for another updates that are part of same software group. For these 2 succefully
installed updates log has below that indicates they reboot and finish.
WUHandler has log:
1. Update (Missing): Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2862330) (35dcb297-873a-45af-bb19-e8b18aedd5bb, 202) WUAHandler 2/5/2014 8:09:02 AM 2760 (0x0AC8)

10.5.2 Update stalls during writing package reciepts

The 10.5.2 Update stalled (Froze) writing package receipts. I ended up doing a hard restart. It restarted, rebooted a second time & I got to the Desktop. Apple Menu/About this Mac says I have 10.5.2. System Preferences/Software Update/Installed Updates does not show the update. Only the iLife Support 8.2. I cloned the 10.5.1 System with SuperDuper just prior to the update. Should I clone back my previous system & try the update again or is there something else I should try first.

Ended up moving my cloned backup, back over to my Mac HD and running all the updates from the Apple download page instead of Software Update. They all went smoothly.

Adobe updater stalls during installation (Mac)

We bought CS3 premium a couple months ago and have tried to use the auto update from Adobe. Unfortunately after downloading the new version of RAW the updater hangs up and never completes. It is the only CS app that does this.
It's kind of an old Mac, but it has 10.4.11 on it and enough disk space.
Any suggestions?

933 MHz PowerPC G4
2 MB L3 cache

OSX 10.4.11
Adobe Updater:
Adobe Camera Raw 4.2 Update (never finishes install - hangs up around 40%
complete)

Adobe Updater is a piece of ****. It only works when you are the first user created on the system and it does not work when filevault is enabled. Amazing how they can get that program so crappy. It is hard to do this wrong. Just download directly and apply the updaters by hand.

10.4.7 update freezes during install

I'm trying to update a G4 iMac. It had previously crashed hard during the install, so I had to archive and reinstall the OS from the original disks. I ran the disk verify and repair. Now, it downloads the combo update, but it never gets past "Preparing for Installation." No other programs are running during the install. Is there more that I can and should do?
Thanks for any help.

Probably a bad download. Dump it and download another. If that doesn't work, then you should run the Apple Hardware Test program to rule out any hardware problems.

Keyboard Software Update Freezing During Install

Hi,
I'm, rather belatedly, trying to install KeyboardSoftwareUpdate 1.2 on my PPC G5 running 10.4.11. The keyboard is wired and the problem, which I've read is curable with this update, is that none of the function keys like for volume or brightnesss, etc. work. Every time I try to install this update, the installation freezes after Select Drive and before letting me move on to choosing Installation Type. At this point, I then have to force quit the application. The drive I've been choosing (and which is also the only option for installation) has plenty of space on it. I've had no other issues with any other installations that I can recall. Suggestions? Thanks

Hello,
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.)
Try the install again.
I think Spark cured this FN key thing for another person and the same problem...

Stalled during install of osx 10.4

first time on here, also mac idiot....sorry in advance for my naiveity(?) and stupidity. ok to the point, bought imac g4, (better design than my imac g5), got copied new install discs (3), (10.4), in a sheer moment of lunacy tried to install 10.4 via discs onto my g5, apparently it wants a 4th disc, i have only 3 and can't find where to get the 4th. would like to quit as i stupidly forgot to back up my photos and music, (yes i know, what an idiot)!!!! have tried to quit but don't think i can cancel during the installation, (or more to the point don't know how to)!! please help i am now really worried, wedding pics and more are on there!!!!!!!!

You can't use machine specific disks on a different model mac. To install an OS on your g5 you need either the original installer disks that came with it or a retail version of the OS you want to install. Using copied install disks is a violation of the Software Terms of Agreement as well. So what you want to do is shut the g5 down. (there may be a reset button somewhere). Then restart holding down the mouse button and the disk inside should eject. Then shut it down and get a retail version as I mentioned above.

Desktop update Froze during install

I just got my new Torch and was updating it to the newest softwear, and it has frozen during the install step. It has been stuck on this section for the past 4 hours. It says not to disconnect the device or interupt the process as it could make the device unusasble. What can I do ?!

Hi, strangely I am also experiencing the same issue but with the Blackberry curve when tried to update to OS 6. It froze at the install stage. I am at wits end too to undo or wait .. Any advice is deeply appreciated ..

When you buy a brand new iPhone 5s and older iPhone does the newest iOS update already be installed on there or can you manually choose to install it if you want?

Say I bought a brand new iphone 5s from a cell phone store or a store like Walmart or somewhere. Would the new iOS 8 already be on there or could I just not install the new update somehow? Because I don't like the new iOS 8 and I just want the iOS 7 on there

It depends on how long the phone has been sitting on the shelf. If it's been there since before the release of iOS 8, then it will have iOS 7 on it.
There is no way to determine the version of iOS prior to buying the phone.

[SOLVED] xorg 1.9 Update Issue During Install

I am in the process of installing arch and have gotten to the point where I need to install the video drivers. I decided to use the proprietary ATI catalyst drivers. I downloaded the catalyst-utils tarball and it said my xorg was outdated. Went to reinstall xorg and it still is just using the 1.8 version. I checked my repo mirrors and I am using up to date ones. I -Syu'ed a few times and pacman still wants to install 1.8. I tried specifying with /extra/xorg, still no luck.
Whats going on here?

HT1689 ran out of space while trying to ask question! ipad synced, new ios update 10 hour installed, itunes apparently stopped working, ipad mini requires connecting to itunes. ipad detectecte recovery mode, RESTORE. Restore what? Whole bloody thing?

I just synced the iPad Mini. then installed ios7.04. After 10 hour installation found that iTunes was frozen, and ipad required to be connected to itunes!restarted computer, reconnected ipad Mini. Now "ipad detected in recovery mode, restore" Click on "OK" and the only usable default left is reset factory settings. Does that mean i have to go through the whole rigmarole again?

Unfortunately yes it does. You might want to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and that may speed up the process. However, you have to restore the iPad again, if it is in recovery mode.
