Setup assistant in loop after leopard software update

Installed leopard as an upgrade to Tiger on my new Imac when it was launched. I had no problems and everything has been runningfine. Last night I got informed of software updates available, I remeber seeing that one of the updates fwas for the system. I said ok. After a while I got a dialog saying updates required restart of system, hold power key until system turned off. I did so. The system rebooted into the setup assistant. I filled in the details required in each of the steps until I then hit done on the last page. At this point it just goes back to the beginning of the setup assistant again.I've tried this several times, inlcuidng turning off and starting the system again. I've tried holding down the C key at time of boot with the leopard disk in the drive to bbot from dvd and I still get the same symptons.
Very bad experience. Anyone else seen this and got a workaround. Can;t get through to apple support.
Cheers

I just ran into this nasty glitch on a mac mini running Leopard which I had just attempted to update using Software Update. The only package requiring a reboot was iTunes 7.6 which did FAIL to update along with one other package (I forget which). I told the system to reboot and gave authority to 'kick' others currently logged in. It complied and the screen went black, however there was no reboot sound....hmm...I held down the power button and still nothing. Then held it still longer and finally it rebooted...I logged in then immediately saw Setup Assistant. I was like "hmm...odd...this doesn't look good." After complying I clicked "Done" and then it logged me out (odd?), and then I logged in again only to find Setup Assistant greet me! So here I am..looking for answers on how to fix. Luckily I have SSH enabled and can login to the machine via SSH. Looking for a possible solution to run OS X Updater from command and possibly fix what's broken.

  • Photoshop CS2 Error after Leopard Software Update

    After installing the software update to fix the Keychain and blah blah blah my PS CS2 will no longer allow me to do ANYTHING. I can open it up and run it, open a file I'm working on and if I try to do anything it gives me an error message saying: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
    Any help? I really dont want to reinstall as it's an upgrade version and I'd have to reinstall CS again.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    First thing I would do is boot from the Leopard Install disk and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions.
    If that doesn't work you might try deleting the PS CS2 preferences.
    Note: Adobe does not require you to re-install the previous version when installing upgrade software, you only have to enter the old serial number.

  • Startup Loop after Lion software update on MacBook

    I installed the software update for Lion last night...and now I am in a startup loop nightmare...white screen with apple logo for about 5 minutes or so...then the computer shuts itself off ...then restarts only to do it again & again...when I held the command + s keys down at startup I get the error message "error reading driver 'System\Library\Extensions\AppleACPIPlatform.kext\Contents\MacOS\'.-
    Any advice on what to do next? Thanks in advance

    If I understand you right, I should backup my Macbook Pro if it had not been backed up for a while, before downloading the Update?
    Yes. For one reason, it will flush all "local snapshots" to the backup device. It's a good idea to connect the backup drive periodically, otherwise it will eventually stop creating those "local snapshots". That period of time is up to you, and is a function of the amount of work created between backups. Once a week generally works for me, but I'd definitely back up prior to any OS X update.
    About a minute is about right, from a fully shut down condition to the login screen. Macs are designed to be ignored when you're not using them. Shut the lid or just walk away from it; there really is no benefit to shutting down completely unless you don't intend to use your Mac for several days. Waking up from sleep is almost instantaneous by comparison.
    Thank you very much for your help. If I click the "this helped me" button, will I still later be able to choose "this solved my question" if my problem was solved?
    Yes. The intent (I believe) is to accentuate answers most likely to benefit those seeking answers to similar questions. It's not a perfect system but it's the only one this site offers.

  • Macbook air is stuck in a reboot loop after running Software Update.  It looks like a firmware update is failing.

    I have a first generation Macbook Air running Lion, and just ran software update to get the latest version of iTunes.  It appears I may have gotten a firmware update mixed in the bunch, and now it keeps trying to run the update at boot, failing, and shutting down.
    I can start the restore partition, and the system appears to function, but I cannot figure out how to abort this failing update so I can use my system, and determine which update is breaking it and why. I've tried resetting the firmware, but that didn't change anything.
    There's nothing, not even a the CD drive plugged into the Air, so it's not a peripheral problem.
    I could restore from backups, but that seems like a very brute force way to get rid of a firmware update loader.
    Does anyone know how to disable these little beasts?

    Restart the Air while holding down the shift key, this is safe mode. Once in to the login screen, login then hold the shift key again. It will disable login items, which can be the cause of startup problems. Remove all your login items from your user accout and try a restart (Note the login items if you need to re-add essential ones later). If it all works well, then keep an eye on third party startup items, they will cause you grief!

  • Safari wont start after Leopard software update

    After updating Leopard to 10.5.7, Safari wont start. I get an error message "Cant load Tastyapps AV plugin." or something to that effect.
    What gives? anyone know?

    I was using Videobox as a trial version (on the site you have the option of buying or trying for 30 days). After the 30 days it stopped working and I just moved it to the trash. I seems to have left something in Safari however that causes it to not want to start.
    Using Firefox i was able to go back to the Videobox site and download and install the trial version again. I was then given the option of installing the Safari plug in which i did. I then went to the Videobox menu and clicked on uninstall Safari plugin. and then i just moved videobox to the trash again using AppCleaner.
    So, you should be able to do the same thing. Just click on "download" instead of "buy" on the Videobox site. I'm sorry, I couldnt find the plugin files for manual deletion either.
    Maybe you should start a new thread and someone will know how to do that.
    Thanks!

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update (Couldn't fix it)

    Hi there,
    I also have been experiencing some problems after running Software Update (Security update + Java) a couple of days ago. Similarly to Jandaf (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9000023) I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. Based on the information provided in this forum I have tried some procedures which didn't solved my problem so far. Below I describe I have tried:
    1) I have booted using the installation DVD and run the disk utility. When performing the First Aid/Verify Disk I found some errors ('Invalid node structure'). But I couldn't fix the problem using disk repair (same problem 'Invalid node structure' 'Volume check failed'.
    2) I also tried to boot in single user mode (command + s) to run fsck -fy. It didn't work. I got the following message (last 4 lines):
    CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: -s
    CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: booting in single user .. do not match
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard" has no kernel dependency.
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCEventDriver" has no kernel dependency.
    3) When trying to boot in safe mode. I got a grey screen with the following message:
    'You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button".
    4) I also tried to 'Archieve & Instal'. Again no success. After reading the DVD the action is terminated because some errors (does not specify).
    5) I also tried the 'German Medicine' (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8728797#8728797) (i.e. Connect the 'problematic MacBook' to my old G4 via firewire and reinstall the 2009-001 update). Again no success. The G4 cannot mount the MacBook hardrive.
    I don't know what to do any more.
    A) Can I resuscitate my old system? If yes how?
    B) If not, can I at least save the data I have in my old HD?
    C) Is it possible to format and reinstall the OS or is this this computer doomed?
    Apologies for writing so many questions but I'm really freaking out!
    Thank you.
    B.

    Hi BDAqua,

  • Safari Hangs After Installing Software Update

    I did a software update a few days ago, which included a security update (PowerMac G5 2.0GHz running Leopard). After that, I was having trouble connecting to the internet (everything said I was connected except that I couldn't actually connect). That seems to be fixed, but now Safari launches and hangs when trying to load the home page (Apple's start page), requiring me to force quit it.
    I tried changing firewall setting and deleting the plist file, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Ok, I tried using OnyX, and no change. I am, however, not able to connect at all to the internet. This problem also started right after the software update, but it seemed to only last for a little while. Now, whenever trying to connect to my iDisk, I get an error code -5016, saying I can't connect to the server.
    It was working fine before the software update, and my iBook G4 also had problems after it (but it was only a check in the firewall settings), so I suspect some settings were changed in the security update, but I don't know what.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

    My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
    I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
    I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
    Any suggestions?

    Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
    This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

  • I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc.  Anybody at Apple listening?

    10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
    * and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
    Shame on you Apple.
