Mountain Lion security update prevents successful restart of mac pro

I updated my other MacBook Pro with the Mountain lion security update and it does not make it through the restart. The status bar gets to near the end of the indicator then it disappears and the computer shuts down. I tried restarting several times with the same results. I tried restarting several times with the same result. Help!

The internal drive is malfunctioning, or you have some other hardware fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

6.- created a different partition to see if it would install it there didn't work.
i just don't understand why

Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
   2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
     sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
     /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

Can i install OS X mountain lion on the same computer as yosemite (mac pro late 2013)

i want to partition my main drive that currently has OS X yosemite and have two operating systems, oner on each partition . Mountain lion and yosemite.I want to use ProTools 10 on Mountain lion and Protools 11 with Yosemite. I'm collaborating with another music studio that's working with an older MacPro (late 2007) He can only go as far as Protools 10, and I believe he's using Mountain Lion.
I want to have the exact system setup as he does so we can sent Protools projects back and forth. I already know that we can still collaborate by up and down converting our sessions. But that is not an option as he has some plugins that are only good for Protools 10.
Below are the specs of my computer

Not on a Mac which shipped with Mavericks or newer, such as yours.

Surprise! Mountain Lion only available as a download? Mac Pro 3,1 Early 2008

Just purchased Mountain Lion to upgrade one of my Mac Pro's 3,1 Early 2008 hoping to get the CD but it seems like it's only available as a download. Is that accurate? Did I miss a link to get the actual physical item? If the download version happens to be the only one available, how should I work around this, given that I would like to upgrade my 2 Mac Pro's and probably my work MacBook Pro? Help please...

I have made backup installers of Lion through Mavericks on flash drives using Lion DiskMaker, which BTW is now called DiskMakerX. It works really well. Before creating the flash drive installer, don't immediately run the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" application, which you will find in your Applications folder: save a copy of it to another location. After ML is installed, the install application gets sent to the cornfield (thanks, Apple), so you will need a backup copy of it.
For Yosemite, I followed these instructions to make a flash drive installer: http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/16/make-os-x-yosemite-boot-install-drive/. I'm not sure if DiskMakerX works with Yosemite. Anyone else know?

Security Update Will Not Install on Mac Pro (Leopard 10.5.4)

Hi:
I am having some trouble trying to install the last security update on my MacPro. The process gets stuck on the “configuring installation“ part. Tried safe boot and the same thing happened. The progress bar continues glowing but there is no progress at all. Then I have to force shut down.
Any ideas?

You tried this via Software Update or standalone?

I think it can even be applied from your your backup clone.

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for. Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

HT1338 When trying to update getting (error surle error domain error-1100). It started yesterday, any help would be great. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a new macbook pro with retina display.

There are many people suffering from this problem right now (including me). It appears to be a server issue. Just wait and try checking for updates again tomorrow.
Some things I have heard indicate that this may be a regional problem, though what parts of the world are affected I don't know yet. A few people have been helped by deleting the following preference file (paste the path into the Go -> Go to Folder window in the Finder to locate it), though most have not:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Note that if you are trying to download iTunes 10.7, that can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
Also, note that there is no reason to be anxious to get it, as the only thing added in iTunes 10.7 is compatibility with iOS 6, which will not be available until the 19th, and the new iPhone, which will not be available until later as well. The new iTunes that was announced is iTunes 11, which is also not yet available.

How do I restore my purchased apps / software updates from the app store after my harddrive crashed and i had to replace it? I cannot find my mountain lion OS update and cannot access my icloud!

Will mountain lion automatically update bootcamp to v4.x

I would like to upgrate to Mountain Lion from Lion. Bootcamp is v3.1 and Bootcamp Assistant is v4.x. I am running Windows XP and Quicken as a virtual machine using Parallels 8 and everything works fine. If Mountain Lion automatically updates the Bootcamp partition to v4.x, I am concerned that I will lose the ability to continue to run XP as a virtual machine. Thoughts?

Your Bootcamp version, partition and XP install will not change and you will not loose use of your XP install.
Only if you choose to reformat your drive within OSx using Bootcamp version 4 at some point may you loose option to reinstall XP.

Reminders Notifications in Mountain Lion latest update keeps freezing on my homescreen and won't go away when trying to close. Please help.
I'm using a 2009 Macbook Pro and have installed the lastest update 10.8.1

I've been seeing this for some time now and getting quite sick of it. It happens when I've been away at work for the day and come home to find frozen notifications.
You can fix this temporarily by quitting Notification Centre from Activity Monitor but it keeps happening to me every week or so.

Mountain Lion software update problem

I have purchased Mac book pro in July 2012. I wanted to download the Mountain Lion software update. I have redeemed the same from the Mac store. The downloading icon has appeared but it does not seem to be progressing...what could be the problem??

In the past, I have taken certain larger upgrades from apple at non-peak hours (magically everything was installed quickly) other times I have taken large upgrades from apple at peak hours ( I took forever and I questioned what is going on) this could be the issue. "server load" or your ISP (internet service provider)
* peak hours (when a lot of people are off work down loading the newest os or applications)
