Machine stuck at 'Installing update 6 of 7..'

Hi
SBS 2011.
Machine is stuck for several hours at;
Please do not power off or unplug your machine.
Installing update 6 of 7..
What can I do from here? If I hard reboot server what are the issues I am likely to face?
Thanks
Regards

Try hitting the power button on the server - that may do a shutdown rather than a hard reset.  Otherwise you don't have much choice to do a hard reset or wait longer...
When it (hopefully) comes up try a normal boot and check the server operation, event log and windows updates status to see which one didn't install.  Research it a bit to see if others had similar issues with the update and try again.

  • Ibooks stuck on installing update on ipad 3

    Ipad 3 tried an update on ibooks and it continually tries to install.

    Had the same problem for nearly a week and eventually fixed it by single tappping the app’s icon on the home screen which paused/stopped the download/installation (I then got a pop-up saying it couldn't be updated & to try again later). Now go back to the Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and tap “Update” to resume the download.

    I had uninstalled iMovie 10 after it was updated and decided to reinstall it but it won't update, iMovie 10 update is stuck at installed in my App Store account. How do I get it the update to revert to uninstalled so I can re-update iMovie 10 to 10.0.1? iMovie 9.0.9 (iLife 11) is still installed and working.

    What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
    You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.

  • App updates are stuck on installing, won't update

    I have 10 apps to update. They are all stuck on installing. Have rebooted,doesn't do anything. I can't use the apps either. any suggestions?

    Make sure you are getting a good internet connection.
    Double-tap the Home button (bottom center of the iPhone), to get the current open Apps. Press and hold on one till they start "shivering" and you get the red "-" sign on them.
    Such the "-" on the ones you are having troubles with to close them. And press the Home button again to exit the "shiver mode".
    Then reset your iPhone (Press and hold the Home and Sleep (Shut Down) buttons at the same tim, till you get the Apple logo). This will not cause any data loss.
    When it has finished restarting, open the Apps you were having troubles with. The iPhone should recognize an incompleted upgrade and restart the download/upgrade.
    Good luck.

  • Hi tried to update several apps at once no they are stuck on installing.i can't delete them or open them.any suggestions?

    Hi tried to update several apps at once and now they are stuck on installing.I can't open or delete them. Any suggestions ?

    Here are a number of things that have worked in the past that you can try. If you already tried something in here, just ignore it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

    Hi Drgeert-
    The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
    You probably need a new hub.

  • Portege R705 stuck in "install" of Windows update...

    Hello,
    Last night I downloaded the usual Windows updates.  Now, however. it is stuck on the blue screen and says "Installing update 4 of 23".  The circle icon has been turning on the page for hours.  Attempts to reboot by holding down the power button have been useless since it just returns right back to the ïnstalling update screen.
    Any ideas about how to get out of this screen or restart?
    Thanks!
    John in TN

    During the reboot from holding down the power button, press and hold the F8 key. On the Advanced Boot Options menu, choose Safe Mode.
    Then do a System Restore.
       What is System Restore?
    If you want to talk more, tell us which Portege R705. And what is the part number?

    I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time  I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?

    Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then update your apps one at a time.  Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

  • TVSU fails to install updates on machine with 8.3 filenames disabled

    Hi all,
    I have experienced TSVU (4.0) failing to install updates on some machines (W7 ultimate 64 bits), but working fine on some other similar equipped machines.
    I have now investigated the issue, and browsing through logfiles on a working and non-working machine reveals that system update on one machine extracts the files using the command:
    os7005ww_64.exe /VERYSILENT /DIR=C:\PROGRA~2\Lenovo\SYSTEM~1\session\OS7005~2\ 
    Both the "program files (x86)" and "system update" directories has been changed to their proper 8.3 names.
    On the non working machine the call was:
    os7005ww_64.exe /VERYSILENT /DIR=C:\PROGRA~2\Lenovo\system update\session\OS7005~2\ 
    But this string seems to not be quoted properly when executed, so all the extracted files end up in a new catalog:
    C:\PROGRA~2\Lenovo\system
    From here all subsequent install calls then fails!
    The problematic machine had the NTFS 8.3 filename creation disabled, i think this might be the culprit! I have now changed this to the deafult value, uninstalled TVSU, and rebooted.
    But when i now try to install TVSU, it simply refuses It just pops up a windows installer window describing the command switches and exits.
    *sigh*
    I think the 8.3 filename problem could be the cause of other people experiencing TVSU installer problems, and this should propably be looked at by lenovo?
    The failure to install it anew, i haven't figured out yet - anyone???
    regards,
    Jesper

    Hi all
    You can verify the status of the short name of the  "system update" directory  (the primary problem) by doing the commands below. The problem i think, starts when short name generaten is turned off when _installing_ TVSU. then the SYSTEM~1 shortname will not be generated, and the program will revert to use long names, but quoting them wrong!
    try:
    cd c:\program files (x86)\lenovo
    dir /n /x
    IF TVSU is installed while short name generation is turned on (short name generated on install) you will get something like:
    20-01-2010  20:52    <DIR>                       .
    20-01-2010  20:52    <DIR>                       ..
    06-01-2011  10:30    <DIR>          ACCESS~1     Access Connections
    18-08-2009  14:11    <DIR>          ACTIVE~1     Active Update
    18-08-2009  14:19    <DIR>                       Dipmon
    18-08-2009  14:17    <DIR>                       FPIRPOn
    06-01-2011  10:25    <DIR>                       PkgMgr
    25-10-2009  19:14    <DIR>          SYSTEM~1     System Update
    15-10-2009  15:56            11.264              TVSU_TPC.DLL
    Notice the SYSTEM~1 shortname, if installed using no short names, that place will be blank.
    As an update i can tell i 'fixed' the machine having problems by enabling the short name generation and renaming, then copying the "system update" catalog, thus generating the short name for it - everything works again :-)
    PS: as a side notice on a machine with short names disabled and running as a user with a space in the user name TVSU will not even install, as it messes up with the space in the temp directoy (in the users home catalog)
    But somebody really should fix this, as it is very normal to read in tuning guides for SSD drives (Thinkpads with SSD anyone to disable this short name generation among other things...

  • Installing ipad IOS 8?? now stuck in "verifying update" and cant even shut down. Help?

    In trying to install IOS 8?? (current update)  on ipad and now stuck on "verifying update". Cannot even shut the thing down. Help??

    You need to use Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off your device
    2. Press the Home button and while holding it, connect your device to the computer
    3. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the "Connect to iTunes screen"
    4. Release the Home button and open iTunes on your computer
    5. You will see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode". Use iTunes to recover your device.
    You may need to repeat these steps several times.
    Hope this helps!

    My macbook air is stuck at the "installing software updated" screen while installing update for the osX. What should I do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac has been installing software updates for a long time, Software Update is probably frozen. Hold the Power button until your MacBook Air turns off, and turn it on again. OS X should start up.
