Just did the Mac App Store update and now MBP won't boot?!

I just did the Mac App Store software update that required a restart and on bootup it just hangs at the spinning wheel and I can't get anywhere.  I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but that hasn't helped.  Any ideas here?  I can't believe that update toasted my MBP!
And I tried unplugging all my drives from it as well.

Were you trying to install Mavericks?  What do you see when you restart your Mac with the Option key held down?  Does it indicate the boot volumes is Mavericks or your previous system?  If it's Mavericks boot into the Revovery volume and try reiinstalling from there.

    All fixed!!!  My Aperture wasn't being recognized because it was in a folder.  OK, now I can use my camera with Aperture.

    Hello,
    My suggestion would be to do the following:
    -Press and hold the power button and home button for the time needed until the screen turns black and the apple logo reappears.
    If that does not work, call the nearest Apple store and ask for assistance.
    Hope this helps,

    That is very bad.. how old is it??
    The Gen4 TC can die this way.. it is not usual but it happens.
    Leave it for several hours to cool off. Do a factory reset immediately when you try to restart it.
    The Factory Reset.
    Power down the TC.
    Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
    (I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
    Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
    Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
    Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
    Tell me exactly what the LEDs do throughout this process.
    Both the main one at the front and the LED on the ethernet ports which should all flash during bootup.
    If it is less than a year.. of course Apple will replace under warranty.. 2 years in some places.. Europe .. places with stronger consumer laws. If you have applecare on a computer it should still cover the TC.
    I kind of doubt you are going to get this going again... but we can try.

  • I am unable to remove an application from the mac app store update even if the application is not present

    Hi,

There are no trace of angry bird in the machine and I would like to know how to remove it from the liste of update in the mac app store beside buying it.
    Thank you,

    OK .... last user insalled software that was not owned by company. Software removed bug solved.

  • How do i check the size of an update in the Mac App store update tab?

    When an update arrives under the Mac App Store's Updates section, It has all the detail except the Size of that update. Where can I find the size of update I am about to download like Pages or Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update or any other software update?

    It isn't listed anywhere of which I am aware.

  • New MacPro 10.9.4 included Keynote. Worked fine. An update was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update and now get error message "You can't open the application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Any ideas?

    New MacPro 10.9.4 purchased three weeks ago included Keynote. App worked fine. New update for Keynote was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update. Tried to launch app and now get error message "You can’t open the application “Keynote.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Confused as to why it worked prior to update. Nothing else has changed. No issues with recent iMovie, Pages or Numbers updates. Any ideas?

    I tested this:
    Reinstalled Aperture 3.1 from the Trial Installer.
    In some way it seems to be working. But the whole thing is a scary Chimera.
    It can create an Aperture library. I can import and edit images, even in Graphic Converter ias an external editor.
    But the Media Browser does not show the aperture Library that I created.
    The versioning is inconsistent. The library appears as an Aperture 3.4 library in the Finder.  Aperture 3.5 seems to be able to read this library and to upgrade it to 3.5
    The Applications folder is showing the application as version 3.4 and as compatible. Spotlight is showing it as illegal.
    When opening the chimera Aperture, I see plenty of warnings in the Console window:
    An Aperture "Hang" report
    xpcproxy assertion failed
    com.apple.IconServiceAgent: main failed to composite image
    quicklookd: Warning
    and more ... the hang was critical. I had to force quit Aperture more than once.
    So be careful. I would not trust any important Aperture library to this patched application, without testing thoroughly. Be careful with your  precious photos.

  • HT201628 My girlfriend accidentally rebooted her iPod during an update, and now it won't boot. How can this possibly be fixed?? She says the OS has been wiped. You know how to fix this??

    My girlfriend believes she's wiped out the OS on her iPod 4th generation  she said she did this by accidentally rebooting her iPod during an update, and now her iPod just shows the apple logo then fades to white. My question is, can this be fixed? Or is a new iPod necessary??

    If you live near an Apple store take it in for diagnosis. Don't forget to make an appointment online first. If you don't live near a store, you may get help by searching "youtube" for DFU Restore ipod. This is not difficult to do but it requires proper timing to get the device into DFU mode.

  • How can I fix the Mac App Store "Update All" button?

    When I have multiple updates, the "Update All" button appears, but doesn't work. It's not greyed-out; if I click on it, it gets dark while I hold the mouse button down. But nothing happens. No error message; it just doesn't work.
    I can manually update my apps one at a time; the "Update" buttons next to individual apps work.
    I'm running 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro.
    I've tried restarting, and repairing permissions, neither of which helped.

    You need to update to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 to get the App store. If you're on an earlier version of Snow Leopard, just hit
     > Software Update
    If you're on 10.5 Leopard, you'll need to contact Apple and purchase a Snow Leopard disk or a Lion USB Flash drive.

  • I just did the 4.3.3 update and it erased all my calendars

    all my calendar actitivies were deleted except my birthdays. i am hoping a restore will bring them back. anyone else experience this. deleted them on my ipad also

    Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
    Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
    Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back.  You do have a backup, correct?

    I got ITunes and my IPHone talking to each other again. First off my Iphone was linked with the usb cable to my iphone. Also my PC could conect with my phone and transfer files.
    This may be too simplistic, but I restarted my PC with the Iphone still conected and turned on. When the startup was complete I opened ITunes. Iphone was still not recognized. Then I unpluged my Iphone and plugged it back in.
    The Iphone then became visible and the auto sync started up. All Good.

  • I did the 8.1.3 update and now I have no Safari shortcut? How do I get it back?

    sSafari shortcut is not showing on my IPad since I did iOS 8.1.3 update. I can't find Safari in App Store or my settings to get it back on my screen. How can I get my Safari icon back?

    If you can't find it on any of your home screens or via the spotlight search screen then check to see if it's hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off'

  • Just ran the FREAK security update, and now iMac won't boot

    Hello,
    Gto major issues here after running the above security patch. I'm on the latest yosemite, on a 2007 iMac, 2.8 extreme. Anyway, the software update seemed to go ok, but, as I always do after updating software, I booted into the recovery drive and ran disk utility. This failed when checking the catalog with an error that the dick couldn't be repaired, back up and restore my files. Exit code 8 ...
    when hen I rebooted, the progress bar on the grey screen gets to about a quarter of the way across, and the machine just shuts down.
    starting in verbose mode tells me the volume could not be verified
    localhost.com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] < Emergency> ...
    kext loading now disabled
    kext unloading now disabled
    kext auto unloading now disabled
    kernel requests now disabled ...
    killing all processes
    cpu halted
    and thats it.
    Id appreciate any suggestions.
    cheers,

    Hi again,
    when I ran AHT yesterday ( the short version ) it said there were no problems. However, when I tried the extended test, it froze after about 20 minutes. That reminded me of a previous issue I had with this mac, when the power supply failed : very worried about my 2.8ghz 24in imac
    When booting up now,  the the mac gets to the grey screen with the Apple logo, and the progress bar gets to about a third of the way across before shutting down. Im now wondering if the power supply has gone, rather than the disk ...
    any thoughts on how I could diagnose this one way or the other?
    cheers,
    kev

  • What do I do when my mac won't start up? I put it in sleep mode after installing the latest OS Lion update and now it won't open up.

    Near new mac pro retina, updated OS last night, re-started, finished my work &amp; put it into sleep mode. On power, &amp; hooked up to Thunderbolt screen. Got up this morning and it won't boot up. Is there anything I can do myself, or is this a shop problem?

    Sounds like a #1 SMC or #2 PRAM reset is in order.

  • I just ran the most current Firefox update and now the program won't open. I keep getting an error for the XUL Runner that says "Platform version 6.0.2 is not compatible with minversion =6.0.1 maxversion 6.0.1. Restarting didn't clear this problem.

    I also did a System Restore and that didn't clear the problem, either.

    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.
