Mountain Lion Update for my macbook pro FAILED!!!!
Hi everyone,
I just updated my macbook pro yesterday. However, when time remained 19 minutes, the updated failed and a message popped out: 'Install Failed: OS X could not be installed on your computer.' It also asked me to restart and try installing again.
However, after I restarted, it was still unsuccessful and this same message popped out. Whenever I turn on my macbook pro, it just stays on the the update install process and I can't even quit it. I tried to choose Startup Disk, however, no system shown and I couldn't select the system I want to use to start up my computer. I just don't know what to do but I really need to use my macbook pro as soon as possible. I have to use the files on it to do something really urgent and important. If someone has encountered this problem and found out the solution, please tell and help me! I really need your kind help!!!! Thanks so much!!!!

If you have supported Macs, just go to the Mac App store and buy it. You can install it on up to 5 Macs on one licence

Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?
What kind of noise?
The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

Why when I get a software update for my MacBook Pro i click on it for some reason it never connects to the server I can never get my software update is anyone else having this problem? if so what do I do? i have the 2007 macbook pro Mountain lion 10.8.2
Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have. Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down. On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Run Verify Disk. If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption.
You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility. However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse. -

"The new java Version 7 Update 13 is not exactly helpful in macbook pro.
try the version 11 or 12 they should work perfectly."
The OP is running 10.6.8 so Java 6 is his option at this point.
For the OP try here:

I just ran my updates for my MacBook Pro and now my iphoto won't open. I get a pop up that say's You can't use this version of the applicaton IPhoto with this version of os x. You have iphoto 9.2.3.
This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

Will InDesign/Illustrator be updated for Retina Macbook Pro Display?
Will the Adobe Creative Suite programs be updated for the MacBook Pro Retina Displays? If so, when?
I viewed text in InDesign 5.5 and Illustrator on Macbook Pro with Retina at an Apple store (with Display Performance set on High Resolution Display in InDesign) - the type looks all pixelated at edges. Much smoother on Antiglare display. I and deciding between purchase of a Macbook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare screen and the Retina display screen. It would help in my decision if Adobe would give some indication, if or when there may be updates in Illustrator and InDesign for better type on the Retina display.The only program we’ve heard about is Photoshop and that’s CS6.
The chances of older versions being updated are pretty much zero.

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.
The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
Good luck,

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!
Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot. After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

If your room is air conditioned, it should not only be cool but also relatively dry. And if you are simply moving your laptop to a different location when you leave your room, and that location will also be air conditioned, you'd be best off putting the laptop into a snug plastic bag while it's outside the cool rooms. That way, the humid air can't reach the laptop to condense on and in it. -
Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011
Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011
Check your Network control panel and turn off Auto-Proxy setting.
This is one of the top #4 "how can they do this' pet-peeve errors.
The other is the often slow 8 hrs to download 600MB even on 10Mb+ cable.
Another, 'the drive cannot be partitioned because there isn't enough contiguous unfragemented free space; some files are locked and cannot be moved."
If auto proxy isn't it, router/modem and DNS settings. -

Has Apple pulled the SMC update for the Macbook Pro Retina from the App Store
Does anyone know if Apple pulled the SMC update for the Macbook Pro Retina? I can no longer see it as an update in the app store. I am refering to the update that enables power nap on the Macbook Pro Retina.
It showed up in my ML App Store.
What is your SMC version?
Mine is
SMC Version (system): 2.3f28
and I don't have the update installed.
