Is restart required after J2SE 5.5 Update 9 install?

Restart of what?
The computer or os - not likely.
Java - only if you want to use the new version.

Forced second restart required after every s/w upgrade

As the subject title says...
on one of my two G4 Macs, after every/any software update that REQUIRES a restart, the restart never completes on it's own. I can actually hear the HD NOT having any disk activity. It just hangs when the screen goes from grey to blue with the spinning sprocket thingy.
If I hold the power button in until it forces a restart (iBook) it then reboots fine and the second attempt. Why?Why?Why?
This started maybe 2 years ago and never went away. It's just annoying more than anything else.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD...

Restart freeze after 2009 intel software update

Upon downloading the 2009 intel software update on my 1st gen black MacBook, I clicked restart, my desktop cleared and then froze. Now I'm out in the cold after clearing the PRAM I can't startup...all I get is the apple logo on the gray startup screen and nothing. I need to salvage my stuff. How do I do this? FYI: my startup disks are not with me.

Do you mean: Security Update 2009-001 (Tiger Intel)?
There's very little you can do without your installer discs. You can try to boot to Safe Mode and see if that works, or to Single User Mode and run fsk, but yours would be the first post where I would have seen this do anything in your particular situation. Included in the post below is a link to re-installing the
update from Single User Mode which is about the only thing I can think you can really hope will help until you get discs.
Two things seemed to be solutions for Security Update 2008-008 problems from what I have read, and may also work with 2009-01.
One is Archive and Install which will replace the corrupted system but then requires you reapply all your updates. Select the keep settings and preferences when doing A&I. Make sure you select that option when doing A&I if you want settings and preferences kept. Some third party applications may need reinstalling if they have special components.

The other is to try to re-install the security update on the main drive while booted from a secondary drive or in Single User Mode. This could be from another Mac computer while your first one is in Target Disk Mode, perhaps a bootable backup drive, or possibly from your installer disc. Here's references for those methods:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8634535#8634535
A version of this is to use Single User Mode and Terminal to re-install the update as in:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8991074#8991074
Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk. Permissions repair can, and is probably best, done when booted from your internal drive.

You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.

I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

Allow auto-restart option after manual initiating Windows updates

When doing manual windows updates please provide a 'auto-restart' check box at the beginning of the process. It would make the process much cleaner if after begging the download/install process, (then walking off for coffee) if on return, the process
was finished rather the stopped at a 'Restart your PC to finish installing updates' request

1. This is Windows 10 TP forum. Are you sure you have posted in the right forum ?
2. Microsoft intentionally makes Windows Update automatic in Windows 10 TP. Manual update option is not even available.
3. If one wants Manual Update, one will have to do some registry editing.
Which brings me back to the first point..... are you sure you have posted in the right forum ?

Is a restart required after upgrading to 11.2 InstantClient

Hello.
I have an environment with a lot of servers running in-house built applications running on Windows 2003 Servers. We are in the process of upgrading from (regular) Client 10.2 to Instant Client 11.2. I have a couple of questions, in case anyone can help me, but first some background info:
- Our applications are always connected to the database; they use OCI
- 11.2 Instant Client will be deployed to a new Oracle_Home (the one used by 10.2 client is in use by the running application during the upgrade process)
The question is this: once the 11.2 InstantClient is deployed and the environment variables are set on the servers, do my applications need to be restarted? What about the servers (do the servers need to be rebooted)? What I'm ideally looking for is Oracle's official recommendation, if one is available regarding post-install restart of applications and/or servers.
If I have not provided enough information for you to be able to answer my question, I'll be happy to do so; please do ask.
Thank you for your time!

You will at probably have to restart your applications.
If your program is linked with oci.dll, the shared library is loaded into memory at program start and will only be unloaded when the process terminates.
If you happen to use dynamic loading, your program (if it was written like that) could unload the library (FreeLibrary) and load it again.
At any rate, there is no way to keep connected to the database.
Moreover, the running process will not notice any changes in the environment (such as putting the new oci.dll into the PATH).
Since this is Windows, once you stop your programs, a reboot will probably not hurt.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Restart required after attempt to upload photo to Facebook

My daughter has a 2007 MacBook 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo w/1 GB memory and running Mac OS X ver 10.5.8. The computer is running fine except that each time she tries to upload a photo to Facebook she gets a translucent box in the middle of the screen stating "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." A that point the computer is completely locked.
This is the only process that triggers this error. I have run diagnostics several times and everything checks out fine.

Looping Restart in Early Intel iMac after recent 10.5 update

My friend's iMac is stuck in a restart loop after downloading the latest update for her 10.5 system. She hadn't installed an update for about 4 months so I am not sure what update would have caused the loop. Her computer was working fine before the update so I am picking it is a software issue.
Having searched the forums I haven't come up with people experiencing a similar problem.
_*What is happening:*_
Hit the startup button, it hangs in the white Apple logo screen with the spinning icon for five to ten minutes ... then it automatically restarts itself returning to the same loop over and over again.
_*What I have done:*_
1. Tried a PRAM reset ... no change
2. Tried an Install Disc restart with the 'C' key ... it starts alright but then says this is the wrong disc for the computer. I can't find my Leopard install disc. I will have a better look for it soon.
3. Tried connecting it as a target drive ... I just get a blank white screen
_*A further problem:*_
I was going to reset her computer off her Time-machine backup but when I checked it out it would not allow me into it saying I did not have permissions ... which means any reinstall of the system will not be able to access her time-machine.
Any ideas of what I should try? I will try to find my Leopard install disc and do the reboot off it. I think that is my best bet at the moment.

Restart Fails after Software Update

For the past few weeks (I cannot tie down when this started), after carrying out any download that requires a restart through Software Update when I click on the Restart Button the menu bar disappears but the machine will not restart. If I leave it for a minute I get the message that restart has timed out as software update failed to quit. From here on in I cannot do a shutdown or restart from the Apple Menu, I have to do a hard shutdown by powering off. When I power back on the restart happens normally but no software is installed. After I logon I can then select restart from the Apple Menu and I then get the dialog box that gives me the option to install updates and restart or just restart. Selecting Install Updates and restart then works as normal. After restarting again logoff, shutdown and restart options from the Apple menu all work as normal, until I do a software update that requires a restart..... Anyone any ideas on how to fix this? It only happens on my MacBook Pro (migrated originally from Tiger), not on my relatively new iMac which was Leopard from new.

Exactly the same issue too on a iMac G5 upgraded from 10.4, started few weeks ago, very annoying. Makes the usually painless updates a lot more painful.

Possible to not alert users to restart after update is installed?

Hi,
We have installed WSUS 2012 and we have approved a few updates to a test group and once the updates are installed the user is asked to reboot, is it possible to remove this?
The user will shutdown their PC anyway later in the day and restart in the morning when they come in.
Regards

once the updates are installed the user is asked to reboot, is it possible to remove this?
The user will shutdown their PC anyway later in the day and restart in the morning when they come in.
First, I would suggest installing the updates later in the day so this isn't even an issue.
Second, you can delay the reboot initiation/notification for up to 30 minutes after the
completion of the installation of the updates.
So, in the above scenario, if the workday ends at 5pm -- Install updates at 4pm. The WUA will notify users =once= around 4:30-4:40pm, which is a Good Thing for them to get a notification.
I would NOT recommend suppressing a reboot-required notification, but it can be done by configuring the policy setting
Remove access to use all Windows Update features.
Also note that Bruno make some good points about users who do not reboot. You need to have a plan for those scenarios as well.

Dear Apple Support,
Good day to you.
This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..

After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.

Dear Leslie J.,
Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working?

IMac unable to restart after downloading latest software update (including iTunes 11.2)

My system is a mid-2007 iMac (Intel) with latest software updates always promptly installed (OSX Mavericks, etc) and 320 GB internal HD, 4GB Ram.
Today the software updater informed me that an update to iTunes was available and so I allowed it to download the update and then restart the computer. The restart was not successful - the computer display will show the status window progressing as the update is installed and then nears completion, but will freeze at the apparant point of completion and the restart will not complete. I tried restarting several times and it always hangs up and does not complete.
I then ran the Disc Utilities program - first time I ran it, it identified disc problems with the internal HD and proceeded to repair them. Following that I trried to restartt and it ran into the same difficulties and did not restart. Subsequently I ran disc utilities and it reports the internal HD to be fine. I've also tried several times to boot the computer and restore from my Time Machine backups and it will not complete the restore. I do get to the screens where I can select the volume to restore from, the volume to restore to, and so forth. After these efforts were not successful, I finally tried to re-download OSX and do a clean system restore, it progressed nearly to completion and then aborted the system installation without completing.
Since having this problem I've therefore been unable to use the computer in Mac mode. I had just about concluded that my hard disc must be replaced, when I decided to see if I could restart running Windows (bootcamp), and I was able to do that successfully. The hard disc is therefore not damaged, or at least the partition of the hard disc used by Windows is not damaged.
Is my most likely option to replace the hard disc or is there something I can still do, in order to see if the hard disc can be restored using a saved backup, before I replace it?
I have the further complication of finding that the Apple store will not replace the hard disc for my computer because it is over 5 years old. I can probably locate a shop such as Best Buy locally who can do that, or I can simply purchase an external hard disc and use that as my primary hard disc until I either replace the internal hard disc or simply replace the computer. Since it is a 7 year old iMac, it would not be surprising to have to replace the hard disc after this length of time. I also see that there are instructions available online to explain how to replace the internal hard disc myself, but I'm unsure at this point whether or not I want to do it myself.

Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties.

What Apple store told you they wanted $249.00 to tell what is wrong?
If this is a 13" Macbook Pro then that is the cost of the Extended Applecare warranty. As you are outside the 90 days of Free Phone Support then what Apple told you is that to get Phone Support you would either need to pay $45 per phone call or pay $249.00 for the Applecare extended warranty which comes with 3 years Free Phone Support from date of purchase.
Or you can take it to a Apple Genius Bar and have them look at it for Free.
Every Mac comes with 1 year warranty and includes only 90 days of phone support. You can buy the extended Applecare warranty anytime within the first year of ownership, IE until the 1 year warranty runs out.
I suggest you have your computer looked at by either an Apple Authorized Repair Center or Genius Bar and then before the 1 year warranty runs out buying the extended warranty
