MBP stuck on "running package cripts"

My computer is stuck on updating software Leopard for last 6 hours. It shows 99% done but process is not ending and update not completing.. Can I just hang up and reboot.

Is it in the process of downloading the update or has the installer launched and it is installing? If it's only the download you can kill it with no problems. If it is already installing and hung (which it is if you have been steering at for 6 hours) then you will still have to kill it since there is no other way out. But who knows what state your OS is in? Odds are it may not even boot. But you won't know until you try. If it does boot you can download and try the install again (although not knowing why you hug in the first place may mean it won't work a second time either).
Things like this are why you should always have a backup of your system before updating it.

Because you need Mac OS 10.6.8 or later.

MBP software update stuck at "running package scripts"

Hello
I was updating my Macbook Pro and it was on the Install and Restart process but has been stuck on "Installing 6 items - Running package scripts" in the Software Update window for over an hour.
Nothing seems frozen because the mouse is running fine and the progress bar is still spinning, but I'm not really sure if this is normal or if there's something wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just had the same problem. What I did to fix this was to log in with SSH and kill the Safari process. Looks as if having Safari running when starting the update (noticed the update was for Safari) prevents it from completing.

Trouble downloading Itunes 10.7 stuck on "running package scripts"

I have an new Ipad, and when trying to sync with my imac, it said that I must download itunes 10.7 in order to use itunes on my ipad. I was able to download ok, but when I went to install, it stuck with one minute to go on the install - with the progress reported at "running package script"
can anyone help

If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.6.7, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences.
If you're running Mac OS X 10.5 on an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
If you're running Mac OS X 10.5 on a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
There is no iTunes 10.6.8.

My computer has been stuck on "running package scripts" for hours.

Hi, earlier tonight I tried to update my iTunes so I could in turn update my iPhone. My computer said I had 3 available updates, iTunes, Safari, and some type of security thing (I havent updated in a while.) So I I installed and restarted. It seemed to be going fine. But it's been about 2 hours since the restart and I am still on a grey screen with a pop up that says " Installing 3 items" "running package scripts" and the blue progress bar is about 3/4 of the way, which it has been since I started checking over an hour ago. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about fixing this problem? Thanks.

Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, spinner/progress bar

Software update freezes at running package scripts

I have owned this mini for two months. When I first brought it home, it required a software update. That failed and the computer quit working. Had to return it to the dealer for repairs. 2 weeks.
Today, I received the next software update message. Without thinking, I accepted it. Now the update has been stuck on "running package scripts" for 45 minutes.
Unfortunately, I did not look to see what was being updated. I have no idea what or how big.
I cannot find any information in the forums regarding what to do, but my only option is power off. To do the update, I logged out and did a restart. There is no way for me to kill this process and manually clean up the install directories.
Two software updates and two failed updates. Last time it physically harmed my computer.
Any suggestions?

Just had the same problem. What I did to fix this was to log in with SSH and kill the Safari process. Looks as if having Safari running when starting the update (noticed the update was for Safari) prevents it from completing.

HT1199 I have been trying to redownload itunes. The download seems stuck on the "Running Package Scripts" page. It says "about one minute" remaining for the download but, that was 2 hours ago. Anything I can do?

I have been trying to re-download itunes. This is in an effort to try to recover my new iphone 5s which after the latest update, was put into recovery mode. When I connected to itunes, I was given the message that I couldn't recover the phone. So, support suggested that I re-download itunes. The installation seems stuck on the "Running Package Scripts" page. It says it only has about a minute left to complete this process - however that was over 2 hours ago! Help! What can I do next?

Disconnect the iPhone from your Mac.
Shut down your Mac, wait about ten seconds then restart.
Then try downloading iTunes > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
Do not reconnect the iPhone until iTunes is installed.
If that didn't help, the startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, start up from your Mac install disc to make repairs.

Really slow install and 10.5.1 got stuck on "Writing package receipts"

I installed a fresh install on my ibook G4 way back but forgot to ask about this issue I had with installing. The install was incredibly slow and when I took a peek at the installation log, I noticed these sort of entries there:
Oct 26 07:50:44 ibookg4 root[2248]: Begin script: aclmodify.pl
Oct 26 07:50:44 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.OSInstall' found at '/Volumes/OS X'.
Oct 26 07:50:44 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.OSInstall' found at '/Volumes/OS X'.
Oct 26 07:50:45 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.OSInstall' found at '/Volumes/OS X'.
Oct 26 07:50:45 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: /Volumes/OS X/System/Library/User Template/Dutch.lproj
Now that I started to upgrade my system to 10.5.1 the system rebooted and started the install and got stuck at "Writing package receipt" and I left it running over night and in the morning I had had enough of waiting and just pushed the power button until the system turned off. I then turned it back on and it rebooted a couple of times and after that I got my system to a login screen and after login I checked what "About this Mac" said on my system and it claimed it to be OS X 10.5.1.
I whonder if it went through okay or not?
Could this problem have something to do with what happened during 10.5 installation?

I updated my wife's G4 iBook to 10.5 and 10.5.1 without incident. That said, I have ad other incidents where an install appeared to hang but worked fine after that.
My guess is that if your system is working normally and the About This Mac shows 10.5.1, then the upgrade was OK. Did you do the smaller (39MB) install from Software Update? If so, it is recommended that you download the full 110MB Update from the Apple site and reapply it to your machine.
You stated originally that you did a "fresh" install of Leopard. If you haven't done much else and have no data on your machine, it might be worth the effort to reformat the iBook drive and do another fresh install just to be sure there is nothing lurking in the background.
The install should only take about 2 -2.5 hours to do.
Hope this helps.

10.7.2 install getting stuck at validating packages

I have tried the install through the software update and downloaded it from the website. Both are getting stuck at validating packages. What should I try next?

just about to go to bed and, at long last, the progress bar has moved!!! and the installer has moved on to "Registering updated applications". Finally it has told me that the installation has been successful!!!!
That last "about a minute" has taken nearly an hour - haven't people at Apple grasped the concept of time?
I have clicked Restart to complete the installation, and the MBP has rebooted successfully. Tomorrow I'll check that all my applications work
This upgrade has taken me over one day of messing about, downloading fixes, rebooting, etc, etc. Whilst it is a relief that the problem has been fixed / gone away (hopefully), it always leaves a feeling of doubt and uncertainty when you don't know exactly what the problem was, or what the definitive action was that you took to make it go away.
Thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions. Good luck to those still battling with their problems

Stuck with run mode

Hi
I am stuck with run mode on one of my VI (I can't edit it or even see the diagram). here's what I verified
1. tools>option>miscellaneous> I uncheck "Open VIs in run mode"
2. I hit Ctrl+M, it is still in run mode
3. I close LabVIEW and reopen, it's still in run mode
4. I check the VI file type, it's not a read only
Do u have any idea about how I can go back to edit mode to modify the diagram? I'm using LabVIEW 7.1
Thanks

Without having the VI in front of me it is difficult to say exactly what settings you have turned on.
I would suggest trying the following things to get your VI out of run mode.
1) Ensure that "Open VIs in Run Mode" is turned off in Tools->Options->Miscellaneous
2) Open the VI by dragging it into another block diagram and double clicking on it
3) With the VI open hold down control and press the '.' key. This is the same as pressing the "Abort" button.
4) Hold down control and press 'M' to switch out of run mode
If you can reproduce the behavior in a VI which you are able to post on the forum, I am sure we will be able to figure out what steps are needed to edit the VI.

Hi BI_group,
According to the error message, the issue may occur due to two possible reasons: protection level of the package or the 32-bit/64-bit driver issue.
For the first possible reason, it may be that package still uses the default protection level EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey after it is deployed, however, the SQL Server Agent job runs under a different user account. To avoid the issue, you can re-deploy the
package and set the package protection level to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword or DontSaveSensitive during the deployment. If it is set to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, we need to configure the Execution options of the job step to use the
/decrypt password option in the DTexec utility command line to decrypt the encrypted data. If the package is deployed to the SQL Server or SSISDB catalog, we can set the protection level to Rely on server storage for encryption or ServerStorage.
If it is not the case, check whether it is caused by the 32-bit/64-bit driver issue. For a 64-bit SSIS server, it uses 64-bit drivers by default, however, BIDS/SSDT uses 32-bit drivers unless the Run64BitRuntime property of the IS project is set to true.
In the BIDS/SSDT, check the Run64BitRuntime property to see if it runs in 32-bit or 64-bit runtime. This enable us to judge whether we need to check the “Use 32 bit runtime” option for the job step.

Reports Stuck in Running Status

We are having a problem where reports are stuck in running status. When looking on the server, the reports stuck in running status taking up a "jobserverchild" process, and does not complete.
Has anyone experienced this issue, and how we can resolve it?

Ok - here we go - we have been experiencing this issue for the longest time - it looks like we have found the culprit:
1) Check the default printer of the report developer who placed this report into Enterprise.
2) Ensure that exact same driver is on the Business Objects Server.
3) Report should schedule fine.
Another option is to set "No Printer" within the report design itself by clicking on File > Page Setup. This way there is no dependency on printer drivers.
