Problem trying to restart after running updater

I am having an issue after my updater prompts me to restart my mac. In the past the blue screen that appears with the circular loading icon only stays up for a few minutes at the very most then the mac restarts. Right now it's been running for a couple of hours. I'm not sure if any updates are being applied right now, so I don't want to manually power down yet. Does anybody know if it will cause harm if I force shut down? Or is there some keyboard method that will safely shut down from here? I'm using my backup PC right now, so I really want to the mac working again.
System Specs:
Mac Mini 2.0GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM
OSX 10.5.7

Sometimes an update gets "stuck" and things like this happen. System might not shut down or it might hang on restart.
I suggest, even though it's working to do a partial safe boot - reboot and hold down the shift key.
At the save boot login screen click restart and let it reboot normally.
It's important to repair permissions before and after any update, just to be sure there are no real permission errors.
If you used the auto software update, I suggest reapplying the manual combo download to ensure everything is really OK.

CF 10 will not restart after running Update 3 [updated]

Just tried to apply Update 3 to CF10 and while trying to restart it did not. (Yes, I did have the Mandatory update installed.)
How can I fix it or roll it back?
Thanks for your help,
Randy
Figured out how but wasn't exactly as indicated
From the command prompt (Windows), run:
C:\ColdFusion10\jre\bin\java -jar C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-10-00003\uninstall\uninstaller.jar
If you look a the the discussion on the Blog post about the Update you will see that this is happening to others.... I would hold off on installing the update.

Problem restarting after software update

Computer is fine, drive 40% full, no speed problems...
But it just won't restart after software update runs, nor will it restart or shut down from finder.
Problem solving so far: Safe boot, reset pram, ran disk utility, ran disk repair using install disk, ran fsck -y, ran disk warrior.
Is annoying. ANy ideas anyone? If not, what is the procedure for updating using sudate and terminal, as when I use software update, a force shut down will not install.
ANy ideas folks?

Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

I was updating my ipod touch to iso 6.1 ans when it restarted after the update it froze and i held the lock button and home button down to restart it and it goes to random colour screens

I was updating my ipod touch to iso 6.1 (i think) and when my ipod restarted after the update it froze on the loading bar so i held the lock and home buttons down to restart my ipod it showed the apple logo for a few seconds then the screen went random colours. I tried to let the battery drain then plug it into the computer but it doesen't recognize it when i connect it.
Please help!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

MAC Mini does not restart after Yosemite update

I bought my MAC mini in 2011 and I successfully updated to Mavericks with no problems. I am not sure why my MAC Mini will not restart after I updated to Yosemite. The completion bar gets stuck around 30%.
Any help or ideas appreciated
Larry

Okay, this is strange. I tried restarting three times yesterday with the same results. In fact I left it go overnight only to find the next morning that the bar was still stuck at 30%. I did a hard boot a little bit ago and waited a few seconds. I restarted an it booted up fine.

P1i dead after running Update Service - any suggestions

Hi
My P1i appears completly dead after running Update Service. I've tried removing the battery, fully charging the battery etc. When i run Update Service again it just says my phone is up-to-date.
any suggestions?

Unfortunately, in this case, we would only be able to suggest sending the handset for service. Usually when running the Update Service, you should get the option for EXIT but also for INSTALL when you are advised that you have the latest software. If you do not have this, the handset may need to be flashed by an engineer.
If you wish to do this, I'd recommend contacting your local support team to be advised of your nearest service location. Contact details can be found here:

Unable to restart after software update 10.3.1.1779

I am unable to get my Z10 to restart after this update.
I have searched endless avenues and have now resorted to deleteing the notifcations for this update when they come in, I have downloaded and installed it, but when asked to restart, my phone stalls on the loading screen forever, the longest I have waited for it to restart is 3 days, with 24 hours of that on 99%.
I am now the but of all phone related jokes as everyone I know has an IPHONE that works perfectly, but I insist on keeping this awful Z10 becuse I dont want to join their rank....too tink I spent £500 on this when it came out (more fool me)
It would seem that the general consensus is, I will have to go to the inconveience of taking my Z10 in to a phone shop, were they will send it off to BB for the update to be installed.
PS; Blacberry's forum is as hard to navigate as the phone is to actually get working proberly.

This has been the worst software update I have ever encountered. My Q10 is completely unreliable and I am going to switch to another device in the morning. I have restored factory settings and have successfully wiped the app to sync my shared Google Calendars, the z and y keys have swapped on my keypad and the Q10 still turns itself off arbitrarily, wipes all text and phone messages and can't recall what network I'm on or what my home wifi settings are.

Is it still recommended to do a restart after and update?

Hello. Just did an Apple update to my iMac. Is it recommended to to a restart after the update has downloaded? By the sounds of the prompt afterwards "The update was done successfully" or something like that, sounds like it is not. Thanks for any input on this. Cheers.

Some updates require a restart while others allow you to continue to use the computer while the update is in progress. The "Update" window will tell you whether or not you have to restart and it will restart when the update is completed. Just follow the instructions.

Loud beep after restart after Safari update

hi all everything is fine. But there was a loud beep when MCP had to restart after Safari update today. Should i be concerned? Like said everything is working fine. And this was the first time i heard such a beep. Its always been the regular chime instead.

Roger: That article applies only to iMacs.
True but I'm willing to bet the same (at least for the tone heard) applies to the MBP too. Let me see if I can find an advice letter that states that. In the link I suggested earlier there is a link that leads to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1557
That advice letter does refer to MBP's so it's feasible the same advice is true for MBP's. At least that's my logic.

Anybody else having problems restarting after gingerbread update.

mine in endless loop

dannyfa & seaman & Parrori1,
Danny...if you are getting a new phone why not try this. Seaman and Parrori1 too.
It worked for someone else in another forum when his was looping but he called VZ and they walked him through a Factory Reset which fixed the problem...no more looping.
Also, if your phone has been a good one until now you might want to keep it, especially if you get it working again, because VZ will send you a returned broken phone upon which they did a factory reset.
Do a full factory reset. BTW, another reason to do this is security so your personal info is gone from the phone when you send it back.
Please let me know if you do this because I'm betting that you will find Gingerbread 2.3.6 is completely installed on the phone and the looping started after the phone did its final restart after the install was completed..
If you cannot get the factory reset to start up remove everything from the phone...the battery, the SD card, and the SIM card. Then reinstall the SD card, SIM card, and the battery and then press the hold the button in until you see the word SAMSUNG to start up the phone.
If this fails call VZ and see if they can do a factory reset.
Anyhow it gives you something to do that you would have preferred not to do.
Best regards,
JerryF

Excel Services "We're Sorry. We ran into a problem..." after applying updates

Excel Services had been configured and working fine. This past weekend we applied all of the microsoft updates to the Sharepoint Server and it's related database server. Since then, Excel Services has been giving us the dreaded "We're Sorry.
We ran into a problem..." error.
All services are running. I tried restarting everything. Went back and checked all the relevant Sharepoint configs. I can't find anything in the ULS logs that looks relevant.
Any thoughts?

Hi Steven,
Did you run Product and Configuration Wizard on each SharePoint server after installing updates?
If not, please run it first and then do an IISRESET to see how it works.
If above cannot work, I recommend to verify the things below:
Check if the Excel service has been associated with the web application with issue. If not, associate the service application with the web application.
Grant Excel Services access rights to the SharePoint Content database.
Verify that the account has correct permissions in SQL Server.
For detailed steps for the options above, please refer to the link below:
http://algrandi.azurewebsites.net/index.php/excel-services-application-crashes-sp-20102013/
Please also check ULS log to see if the issue below occurs:
