PB G4 freeze at progress bar after OS DL failed

Tried updating OS via Software Updater. Unspecified error occurred, the when trying again, "broken pipe" occurred. Now mac frozen at blue screen, and frozen at progress bar when using safe mode. fsck, though, says everything is well.
I'm out of town and without recourse for the moment to OS discs. Any other thoughts?

You wrote: "I copied to the Applications folder."That's where I'd say it should go. My concern was you may have dropped it in something like /Library/StartupItems.
You might check /Library/StartupItems just to be sure there are no Dreamweaver-related startup items therein that may be "confused" given that you moved the application from an external drive to your internal drive, esp. if you had been using it previously from the external. It is a long shot, but worth a check.
I don't use Dreamweaver, but some apps add either Startup Items, Login Items, or both. You can read my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ for details about such.
I suspect the Dreamweaver move isn't the case, but since it was the last change you made before this occurred (was it the last change?) it's worth investigating a bit.
If the earlier Apple KB article I posted does not help, you can also try the steps in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
Good luck!

  • Progress Bar after clicking a link

    Hi,
    I would lilke to add a progress bar after clicking a link from the end user interface. I know we have to use onClick property to do this, I found a Java script code which generates a progress bar and included that java script code in the onClick property value but for some reason the java script is not executing.
    Can anybody please tell what I am missing?
    If anybody did this before, please give any thoughts and if possible with any sample code is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I found some info in the forum and did the following.
    Created a js function and copied it to includes folder and added that js function (e.g. myprogress) in the commonScripts.jsp file. In the form filed option for onClick called the java script function like this..
    <Property name='onClick' value='javascript:myprogress()'/>
    also tried with..
    <Property name='onClick' value='myprogress()'/>
    For some reason the java script function is not executing at all.
    I don't understand what I am missing, can anybody give some thoughts.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Progress Bar after typing in password. OS X Yosemite

    I just updated to OS X Yosemite and it seems to be working fine but is any one else experiencing a progress bar appearing after entering in their password to access their computer?
    it seems like this progress bar should show when the apple logo appears and not after typing in password
    is it supposed to be like this?
    MacBook Pro with Retina Display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    After further investigation, it is not the displaying of "Today" files that is the issue.  It appears that Finder / Favorites / All My Files is not correctly finding & displaying files when using the View / Arrange By / Date Last Opened criteria.  If I switch the criteria to / Date Modified, it finds & displays the file correctly.  See attached screen shots.  (It is possible that this problem existed before Yosemite, as I don't recall which criteria Finder was using before the upgrade.)

  • Strange progress bar after waking from sleep

    This, i am experiencing for the first time.
    1. Ive put my mac pro 3,1 to sleep.
    2. Then, after some minutes (20+) i came back to wake it, but the white led next to the power button was not blinking, but wasnt on at all.
    3. Then i turned computer on (as waking him up) by pressing the power button - because the keys nor the mouse buttons wasnt doing the thing.
    4. THEN I SEE THIS SCREEN with progress bar.
    What does it mean ?
    Was my computer hibernating ?
    5. Then when the progress bar ended, the display went off. The computer power diode was on, but i couldnt do anything.
    'No signal' at display... no response on the keyboard/mouse.
    What was that?
    What should I do now?
    Thanks!

    This is the same, but with my MacBook Pro 9,2 running 10.8.2.
    It does the same, I'll leave it to sleep for an hour, or overnight and then when I open the lid again, I have to put my password in at the FileVault screen and then get this bar. Then my other login screen will come up (with my desktop background) but then, my Mac goes off. The screen goes black and I assume it is trying to sleep again.

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • Yosemite keeps installing (progress bar) after every restart

    I've recently installed Yosemite and there are currently no more updates available. However every time I restart or reboot my computer I continue to see an install progress bar as if the OS is finishing up an install. Since this is happening every time I reboot or restart my computer I'm thinking something might have gone wrong with the install.
    Any suggestions as to what this anomaly might be? t

    Per PeterVL57 the progress bar is underneath the apple-logo and this process is identical on my two iMacs and MacBooks. Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I guess I was so accustomed to identifying the progress bar with software installs, it hadn't occurred to me that they'd use the same approach to the initial loading of the OS X.
    Thanks again everyone:-)
    All the best.

  • HT201269 my 5s broke so i got a new one and the info isnt transfering the phone just shows the apple and a progress bar but the bar isnt moving what so ever

    phone wont progress from icloud transfer

    Hey there ddjild,
    It sounds like you are restoring your previous phones backup to your new one, but the progress bar appears to be stuck. According to this article:
    iOS: Apple logo with progress bar after updating or restoring from backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3681
    the process can take from several minutes to an hour to complete. The amount of time depends on the number of files on the device and whether you're erasing, updating, or upgrading your iOS.
    If the device has stil not finished the process, I would recommend resetting the device with the following article:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If that does not get the phone booted back to the Lock Screen so you can get to your Home Screen, I would next try putting the device into recovery mode and attempting another restore from that backup:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Captivate 2: Get rid of Progress bar, Play button, etc..

    Hello everyone,
    This is my first post. I am using Captivate 2 and this is my
    first project i'm working on. I am trying to find a way to leave
    off the progress bar after i've published the project in SWF
    format. I started the project as an "Image Project" and then
    inserted my image and built my project on top and when i go to
    publish the progress bar (with the play, pause, rewind, forward,
    closed captioning) is showing. I do not want that.
    In Captivate 1 it does give you the option to not display
    that when you're using the "Image Project". Has this option been
    removed in Captivate 2? Any help would be greatly apprciated.
    Dre

    Hi Dre and welcome to our community
    Try clicking Project > Skin... and DE-selecting the "Show
    playback control" check box. While you are there, you may as well
    click the Borders tab and DE-select the "Show borders" check box.
    This will force the movie into a single .SWF. Otherwise, you will
    end up with two .SWFs.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Download to desktop, progress bar on icon wont go away

    I generally use Chrome to brows the web.  I have my browsers set to put downloaded files on my desktop. When I download a file, it shows up on the desktop with a blank icon and a progress bar while it's downloading.  When it's done downloading, it's supposed to change the icon to a thumbnail of the file.  This works sometimes, but about a quarter of the time it seems to stay on the blank icon with the progress bar, with the progress bar almoast complete, but not quite.  This happens despite the fact that the file has actually finished downloading.  I can open the file and everything, it just has an icon that seems to indicate that it is not ready.  If I "get info" on the file, it removes the progress bar after several seconds, but the icon is still blank, and the problem persists for new files.
    I'm running OSX 10.9.2 on a imac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Chrome Version 34.0.1847.131
    Though it seems like this problem has been around for a long time, probably multiple versions of both.  I'd love to find a resolution to this problem.

    What other way would you like us to suggest, if you've "tried everything there is to try"? : )

  • Progress Bar freeze after 4.2.1 Update - any news?

    Hey Guys,
    any news on the progress par freeze after the installation of 4.2.1 on the iPad?
    After a horrible 8 hours(!) Backup phase, my iPad 3G 32 Gigabyte freezes after the progress bar reaches 80%. I tried to do a hard reset but it would just stuck at the same stage again after rebooting. My iPhone 4 synced just fine (5min. Backup-Phase to the max) and runs 4.2.1 without any hiccups. But the iPad, being once the love of my life, drives me MAD!!!!!
    What did you do? Try to sync it again or just wait some days until the progress bar advances? I`m fed up with OS Updates for now... HEEEELLLLPPP!

    Well, that didn't work. But in the process I cleaned up the folders that house my iTunes movies and music get rid of dupes, stuff I didn't want, and so on. However, I did find that I forgot to uninstall WiFi Sync before trying the upgrade. I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it, rebooted, and did the upgrade. Now my iPad is back. I hadn't realized that I had to uninstall WiFi Sync to upgrade the iPad.....
