Macbook pro update problem

I have tried several times to update my OS X 10.5.2. I can download the update, but when it starts the installation it just freezes the computer. It goes to the pink/purple apple screen and starts the process then just stops. A hour later it is in the same spot and I can't esc or end it w/o manually turning off the computer. I have installed updates for itunes but they won't run w/o an update on Safari, which won't run w/o the OS X update! Grrrr I have no idea what to do. help!

Try a smaller increment update first, such as 10.5.5:

Then try the update to 10.5.8:

Installed MacBook Pro Update 2.0 *Problems Now*

Software update asked to install MacBook Pro Update 2.0 and now my MacBook Pro 13 2.5 i5 16gb Ram fails to wake from sleep when I open the lid, machine also hans with beachballs when tasking the Finder, switching applications, opening and closing them.
I have tried to repaid disk permissions, resetting PRAM, and booting with extentions disabled, the system still exhibiting the same problem.
Anyone have an idea how to get this fixed without wiping the Mac?
Anyone else experiancing this problem ?
Thanks.

Yes as I mentioned in the first post, I did try that.
Apple told me I would have to ship the computer on my dime ( for the second time ) because they do not offer shipping exchange in Canada.
This is the second time I will have to pay the shipping cost for repairs on this laptop; it basically will have added $125 to the price.
Really unhappy.
Probably will be my last Mac.

MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 download link broken

The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 download link is broken on http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1609. Anyone have the dmg? I know it's on the Mac App Store, but I need the dmg.

MacBook Pro Update 2.0 on MBP15R both HDMI and internal displays go black and useless

I installed MacBook Pro Update 2.0. When I plug in an HDCP-capable HDMI monitor the MBP15R's screen promptly goes all-black and useless (except for a cursor arrow, which moves but does nothing) and the external display mirrors the same thing. (The internal screen transitions through an all-blue screen first.)
How do I get my screens back? MBP15R is mostly useless to me this way. It worked fine before update 2.0. How do I get this fixed?

I'm still reluctant to give up on that bricked machine... Since it is able to display part of the boot up messages of the arch install cd and the previously working installation showed everything until loading of the virtual console (at least that's what I believe it did when the screen went black), it looks to me that the problem lies in initializing a different graphical output. That would also explain why I was able to initialize X only with the fbdev driver... and the screen didn't flicker during boot-up when I did radeon.modeset=0 so I assume it stayed on framebuffer mode all along.
Does anyone know of a boot medium that boots into framebuffer video mode even though a GPU is present? All I'd need is a bash or similar shell. I can load into the UEFI shell with arch install CD, but I'm not familiar with that shell and it follows a different syntax than I am used to, as it is designed for an entirely different purpose. If anyone knows a boot medium that does not try to pipe the graphical output through the gpu (or the integrated i915 graphics). Must be something like this around?

MacBook Pro Update 2.0 & Minecraft

I installed the new MacBook Pro Update 2.0, everything seems fine except if i press f11 to make MInecraft go full screen my mac crashes, anyone else have this problem?

A solution I've found that seems promising is to (sadly) force Minecraft to use the integrated graphics card instead of the Nvidia.
You can use gfxCardstatus (freeware, open source) to force using the integrated card: http://gfx.io
Of the main indicators that the nvidia card might be the problem was messages like this in the console after a crash going to fullscreen:

This is the sort of thing that is probably up to Mojang to fix, although I'm only seeing the problem playing feed the beast (which requires 1.4.7), and I haven't seen it playing 1.5.2 with the new launcher, so ths might also be the sort of thing that's just fixed by having the latest version.

Fed up of Macbook Pro wireless problems

I'm having lots of trouble with my Macbook Pro wireless and really don't know what to do with it.
My own router (3COM officeconnect) I cannot connect to at all no matter what I try - but I've given up hope on that anyways.
My current problem is that at a friends house with a Linksys 11g wifi router (forgot which one) I can connect to the wifi network (WEP128) but I cant browse the net! I can ping IP numbers directly, but I cannot ping names (such as www.google.com). I keep getting 'cannot resolve host'. strangely enough, after I reboot a number of times sometimes I CAN browse the net...
I'm currently at a hospital which is fully decked out with CISCO wifi access points (unsecured) everywhere, which my 5 year old HP can access no problems within seconds of booting up, my mobile phone can access without any configuration... but my state of the art macbook pro cannot. I have the same problem as the Linksys, I can connect to their network, I can ping IP addresses, but cant browse the web or ping names (and ive been rebooting and trying for about 8 hours now).
I took the MBP to an apple certified service place a whileback and they concluded the hardware was fine, cos I can connect to apple wifi points (which is all they care about). Ive never had any problems with wifi on windows, linux, PSP, symbian or Windows Mobile... but the MBP seems to be in a league of its own.
I'm hoping this is a configuration issue, but I dont know what I would need to configure, both the hp and mobile phone can connect without any configuration, so I would have expected the mbp to connect easily too. I havnt changed any settings on it.
It sounds like a DNS issue so I checked the DNS servers assigned to the mbp, and its the same as the whats on the hp(all assigned with DHCP). Just in case I tried putting in the DNS servers manually but still I get the same thing.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be much appreciated!
(On another note, I just logged in and I was asked to create a new account for these forums! dunno what happened but now Ive started from scratch! i had loads of posts, subscribtions etc.! all gone!)
MBP C2D 3GB / MP 8core 8GB X1900 / Shuttle SN25P 3800+ 2GB GF7800GTX Mac OS X (10.4.10)

"My current problem is that at a friends house with a Linksys 11g wifi router (forgot which one) I can connect to the wifi network (WEP128) but I cant browse the net!"
This is the exact same problem I'm having. The ONLY time I was able to connect to the internet w/ my MBP was at a cafe w/ a linksys connection, the first day I had the MBP. But now I can't even connect there. Although internet connect SAYS I'm connected to linksys and shows a strong signal, and my network diagnostics show that I'm connected, I can't browse the internet. I bought this partly to do video editing in Final Cut Pro (why I needed an MBP rather than the less expensive macbook) and partly so that I could work between classes, which is absolutely necessary for me. But I haven't been able to connect on my college campus despite the fact that no one else is having problems w/ their PCs or their macbooks. Everywhere I go with this thing, I'm the only one having problems (and I should mention that I happen to be the only person using an MBP in each place I've tested it...). I'm not sure what to do. I can't configure any routers or anything because I'm connecting in public places (at home I use a highspeed DSL connection w/ a PC), and there are no problems w/ the routers anyways, since everyone w/ older laptops is connecting just fine.
So far this is what I've done to try to fix it:
-Went over everything with Apple tech support, who said that all of my configurations were correct and that it was a problem with the 10.4.10 update. So I...
-Reinstalled my operating system to go back to 10.4.9. Still the same problem. So I...
-Zapped the PRAM. Nothing.
-Did the Macbook Pro Update that came out yesterday. Nothing.
-Installed the latest security update. Nothing.
I should mention I've only had this laptop for about a week, haven't changed any settings (I'm new to Macs so I would be uncomfortable doing so, anyways), and haven't installed anything except for a trial version of the Mac FTP program Fetch (which was working fine the one time I was able to get connected). I guess I'm going to uninstall that and forfeit the rest of my trial period, but I really doubt that program is the problem.
Anyways, I'm really frustrated as well. I guess I'm going to try to download the program mentioned in this thread to clear my cache. I'll let you know if it works, by some miracle...

How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions?

Macbook Pro, update to Mavericks - internet sharing unstable (ethenet - WiFi)

Macbook Pro, update to Mavericks ->internet sharing unstable (ethenet -> WiFi)

Thanks, indeed there's not a lot there.
I was thinking that there might be a network reset option on my Snow Leopard Mac Book, like I've had a to do a time or two on my iOS devices that suddenly stop seeing the internet. Since I didn't know what that is, I set up a clean TEST user account. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to change anything, so perhaps the internet network settings are global. Any ideas how to reset the network settings and clear them out completely?
Hard to believe that there could be something so different between Mavericks and Snow Leopard as far as common network protocols are concerned that allows one to be plug and play and the other to connect to the network but not see the internet. Could it be the hardware? A 2007 MacBook vs. a 2011 MacBook Pro?

After macbook pro update 1.0, OS X won't load.

So I just tried to apply the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 1.0 to my brand new MBP 15.4 and the screen went black when I pressed restart. Then I got a message stating that the update failed and could not be applied. So, I restarted, got to the login screen, logged in and it seemed like the desktop came up, except I couldn't launch anything. The dock was missing, couldn't figure out how to get it visible, my desktop background was missing, launchpad won't come up or mission control either.
So, figuring a reboot might fix it, I restarted from the apple menu and... nothing. I get to the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinner below it and that's it. It just sits there spinning forever, doing nothing, until I hold down the power button to shut down the MBP. So, I currently have a MBP that doesn't work. What should I do? I need to get this thing working for my job or I am screwed. Someone please assist!

*Update*
Tried Perform a Safe Boot didn't work.
Tried Reset the NVRAM / PRAM didn't work.

After update to MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 screen start flicking

I've just updated my macbook pro 15" retina with Macbook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 from App store (just this update).
After that, every time it goes on the screen saver or if I close it, I can't get it back on, the screen starts flicking black.
There is no away I can enter the password, even the keyboard is flicking.
I have to force the macbook pro power off and on in order to use it.
The update is this http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1609
How can I solve this?

Unfortuantely, right now there appears to be no solution except for restoring from a backup before Update 2.0.
Update 2.0 is a mess - you are lucky if that is the only thing it affects. See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20272989#20272989

IPhone music will not respond to Play button after being paused. The same music is on my iPad and MacBook Pro without problems. Any suggestions about cause and solution.
