Software update crashed my MacBook.

First of all, I'll go ahead and say I probably know why. I opened Software Update, and saw a Mac OS X update. I started the update, and about halfway through the update, my internet crashed. Soo, for reasons beyond my control, I had to shut off my computer. I wouldn't be able to get back for hours, and I didn't want to fry everything. I now know, I should have left it on. My macBook gets to the apple logo with the loading circle just spinning. I left it on and it went in circles for hours until the battery died? And it's obviously not booting enough for the OS X dics to work. Is there anything I can do?
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

In order for the Disk to qork you need to hear the chime then hold down option c.
Note: To startup from the install disk you only need to hold down on the "c" key and not the "option" key. As long as the Mac chimes, you should still be able to startup from the install disk.

  • Trying to do a software update, but my macbook pro does nothing after it prompts me to restart

    I am trying to do a software update on my Macbook Pro so I can update the new iTunes so I can start using my new iPod. Every time I go through the process of the computer searching for updates and confirming there are software updates, then being prompted to restart my computer, it does nothing. After my Macbook Pro turns on again, nothing pops up and I go into my information and it says I still have the old software. Nothing is prompting me to do the update after I restart my computer, or beforehand for that matter. HELP.

    Are you really still running 10.6.2? If Software Update isn't working for you, you may want to try using the 10.6.8 combo update found here -->> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399.
    If that doesn't work, call back...

  • "Software Update" crashes upon download

    Last week I was given a new Mac mini as a gift; I upgraded the memory to 2G; did Target Disk transfer from my old G4, then started using it (didn't use it before the memory or the transfer).
    Software Update crashes at the point when the download has just started, every time, even with individual small downloads. Other symptoms: Safari crashes upon start-up, any Widgets that look up info crash when they go get data. Firefox works but crashes accessing some video, same with Explorer.
    I have manually downloaded and upgraded to OSX 10.4.9. System can't recognize/mount the .dng download file to upgrade to 10.4.10 (I manually downloaded the Combo Intel). Java is 10.4.2, but when I try to install Java 10.4 Release 5, it tells me to upgrade to the previous version first (which is already installed).
    I suspect this is a Java and downloading glitch. Does Software Update rely on Java? Any ideas? I've searched the message boards for this problem, but haven't found anyone else with this problem.
    Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Thank you for your reply. I used the Setup Assistant to migrate from my G4.
    That's probably the cause of your issues. Apparently, the Setup Assitant will sometimes migrate (PowerPC-specific) system files over to Intel-based Macs (causing many odd problems), so using it to migrate from a PPC to an Intel Mac isn't recommended.
    Unfortunately, you will have to re-install Mac OS X to solve your issues (trying to figure out which specific files are causing the issues will probably be too long, with little chance of success); I don't know whether an Archive & Install is enough to fix this, but perhaps someone else knows? Otherwise you could ask in the Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Installation & Setup forum. If you need to do an Erase & Install, you will lose all data on your hard drive, so you'll need to create a backup of all your user files first.

  • I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating sys

    I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
    Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?

    There's an old saying.  If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup.  That's just lesson #1.  Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update.  Not a good thing.
    OK, I'm sure you know this.  It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
    You're pretty much in a bad place.  My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed).  You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps.  I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
    Good luck.

  • HT1338 Why every time I get an Apple software update for my MacBook Pro click on it but at never opens up it always error

    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.

    Hi,
    I had the power supply connected when I attempted it previously but even so my problem occurred. My rom is different and so I still need to update it.

    That was good advice by G-N and s/he is correct about it. Unfortunately, ASC allows only 2 "helpful" and 1 "correct" marks per thread.

  • Software Update crashes after first update install after 35 pass Format.

    Ok so I have a powerbook G4 1.67 and a G5 1.5. Both have been acting weird so I reformatted and installed tiger on both. The powerbook has its own install disk and the Desktop I use the store bought version of Tiger. I did a zero all data on the Powerbook and a 35 Pass Format on the desktop. Immediately after installing the first set of Software updates both systems independently and at different times wont accept updates. Software update crashes after showing what updates are available. If I uncheck 10.4.10 on the first update and then try to manually install 10.4.3 after the first software update and restart it goes to the second installation window and freezes. There has to be a bad update in Itunes or something. Does anyone know what Is going on? I am getting really bad conspiracy vibes about this considering were a week away from a new release.

    If you haven't installed any third party software,
    and are using a version of Tiger that is known to work on that Mac (system specific disks from other Macs do not work all the time),
    then it sounds like you have a hardware issue with your machine which installing a new operating system won't help. An erase and install should eliminate bad preferences, bad cache, bad drivers, corrupt files, as long as nothing third party is attached the machine other than a display.
    Third party keyboards, mice, and other peripherals can all contribute to problems. Displays won't contribute unless they are underpowered in their USB or Firewire ports for the peripherals attached through them (if they are Apple displays with USB and Firewire).

  • Safari, Software Update Crash immediately after opening

    Hi all-
    Brand new 2 x 3 GHz Quad Core Mac Pro, 16GB RAM. Trying to install all software needed. Installed Final Cut Suite, it needed to update to a newer version to open up my projects. Used Software Update, and it said there was and update for Safari, so that got downloaded as well. However, now Safari crashes whenever I open it. In fact, software update crashes in the same manner.
    I've already repaired permissions, removed preference files, booted from the Leopard disk and repaired the boot drive. I'm coming from the PC world, so I'm at a loss on how to fix this. Is there some way I can "roll back" my version of Safari?
    Firefox runs without issue. In fact, that's what I'm working on now.
    I am using a Proxy server. Here is the crash report.
    ANY help is appreciated.

    Hi Carl,
    For the sake of your sanity, do not install the Security Update (it is optional). No problem installing the 10.5.1 Update, as it was released about a month prior to the update, so it is not included in the 10.5.1 update. If you can't access 10.5.1 via Software update, you can access it here.
    I would think this proxy crash issue along with a number of others are addressed in the coming 10.5.2 update. You can send the error report to Apple (using Firefox if necessary) via this page. Apple doesn't usually respond to these reports, however, the information can prove useful for Software Engineers working on OS X issues.
    One other piece - it's not as simple as "rolling back Safari" as the Security Update affected OS X files. Hence, the need to reinstall 10.5, then upgrade to 10.5.1.

  • Software Update Crash on 10.4.9

    Hello,
    When I run Software Update on my powerbook G4 with OS X 10.4.9, it always crashes. It says "Checking for New Software", then after about 15 seconds the window disapears.
    In the system console, I see:
    Jun 11 11:30:24 Oozaru crashdump[2994]: Software Update crashed
    Jun 11 11:30:25 Oozaru crashdump[2994]: crash report written to: /Users/wsimmons/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Software Update.crash.log
    I can upload the logs, necessary, but they are very long. Is there a quick way to fix this? Is there some preference file I can clear out? Anyone else having this problem? I tried searching for "software update problems" and such on the web, but I had trouble finding specific information because "software update" is such a common combination of words.
    Thanks for your help.
    15" Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi,
    It's still not working. I have found that many things seem to be crashing though. It's a bit of a mystery as to what's happening. mdimport (Spotlight), also crashes. Below I've pasted in my crash report for software update.

  • Dashboard, iChat, Safari & software update crash since upgrading to 10.4.3

    After the upgrade was finished, the machine did a restart and it worked fine. The Dash was working fine. The Software update wasn't though. I didn't try iChat till later on so I don't know if it worked initialy. Then I did a reboot and everything went to sh*t.
    I found this in the logs:

    Any ideas... ANYONE?
    I'd rather not do an archive and restore cause then my files and apps get moved... correct?
    Please advise,

    Powerbook G4 & PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hello Dave:
    You mentioned upgrade - was this an incremental upgrade (e.g. 10.4.2>10.4.3) or an upgrade to 10.4.x? If it was an incremental update, try Balto's reinstall of the incremental upgrade.
    An archive and install upgrade will preserve all of your programs, settings, and files and install a fresh copy of OS X. It also creates a rather large "previous system" folder that is kind of like a spare tire. When everything is running well, you can trash it (I keep mine about two weeks).
    As an aside, A&I takes about an hour or so. I prefer it to other upgrade methods.

  • Safari & Software Update crash after installing latest Security Update

    I recently loaded Security Update 2008-007 and now Safari crashes on trying to open. I've also found Software Update crashes. Trying to reload Safari and the downlaoad crashes. I'm running 10.5.5 on my G4 12" Powerbook. Any suggestions, before I permanently turn to Firefox? Which of course won't help with Security update

    I found that reinstalling the system and not opting to install the security update stop the crashing let's hope the next security update doesn't do the same thing

  • 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 unexpectal

    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.

  • I installed an software Update on my MacBook Pro and after that my laptop wont reboot passed the gray screen?

    After installing a software update on my Macbook Pro, it would not reboot passed the gray screen and then would shut down.

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to a Mac Pro tower, not to any other model. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

  • Till my last software update on my MacBook Air I have been able to use my iPhone as a modem via USB. Now it's not working anymore. Other functions via USB are still fine. Any ideas???

    Till my last software update on my MacBook Air I have been able to use my iPhone as a modem via USB. Now it's not working anymore. Other functions via USB are still fine. Any ideas???

    The Mac was recently upgraded so it is the Mac, or is it?
    Looking for a common denominator:  I'l start with wi-fi as the common communication medium.
    Known:
    A) Broken: iPhone —> wi-fi —> Mac.
    B) Broken: iPhone —>USB—> Mac.
    C) Broken: iPhone —> Bluetooth —> Mac.
    D) Working: Mac —> USB —> other USB devices.
    Unknowns:
    E) Test Mac —> wi-fi —> a non-iPhone router.
    F) Test iPhone —> wi-fi —> another wi-fi device.
    Given not A, not B and not C either the Mac or the iPhone could be the culprit.
    1) E        |  F        : Non sequitur (deepens the mystery).
    2) not E  |  F        : The Mac is the common denominator.
    3) E        |  not F  : The iPhone is the common denominator.
    4) not E  |  not F  : All heck broke loose.
    For case 1:  It would be something on the Mac that prevents it talking to the iPhone through three media even though it can talk to other routers over wi-fi.  That would be weird indeed, given the iPhone is talking to other wi-fi devices with no trouble. 
    For case 2:  All of the Mac’s intranet media broken (wi-fi, Bluetooth, and wired-USB) and at least wi-fi works on the iPhone.  Something weird is going on in the Mac.
    For case 3:  The iPhone router function is broken.  Upgrade the iOS?  Test using another iPhone?
    For case 4:  Throw everything in the trash and start over.
