After Software update yesterday, ibook cannot reboot & stay in blue screen.
After yesterday software update, My ibook restart and got stuck in the blue screen with the spinning spiral icon in the middle of the screen.
I try to reset the pram and PMU but in vain.
I also use CRTL-V while rebooting and found the repeating last few lines which the command prompt shown was as follow:
localhost/system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app/contents/MacOs/loginwindow s:Login Window Application Started
Anyone can assist, thanks in advance.I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour. Any thoughts?
Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery. -

The screen is frozen while installing software updates. Say about 2 minutes and it has been more than hour. How can I cancel or do something about it? Is it ok to unplugg it? Please advise.
Really?
Is there no other option? No magic key combo that brings up a secret menu?
My imac just froze during a software update install and I too do not know what to do. -
I installed latest software updates today and now iphoto won't work at all - heeelllppp!
Hello
i installed latest software updates today and since then iphoto will not work at all. The window oens but it remains blank, and when I go to force quit it says iphoto not responding, so it's as if it's crashing on startup. I can't access my photo library or put new photos in the library from my camera, in fact I can't do anything at all with it.
I am in Africa a long way from home and tech support, so please can anyone help me?? Im a bit desperate as my whole photo library is inaccessible, and it will be months before I am back in the UK.
I am not hugeley techie so plain English please.

I accidentally hit the install software update on my IPad and I am not by my computer and won't be for 2 weeks. Is there any way I can get my IPad off the picture of connecting to ITunes?
No. You must connect your iPad to a computer (it does not have to be yours) in order to restore it to factory settings.
Once you're home, you can restore it from a backup.
Any content that you did not backup has been lost.

i completed a software update yesterday and whenever I try and launch iTunes now it crashes almost immediately. I have tried downloading an installing the latest version but to no avail - any ideas?
Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed ?

Install Software Updates Step fails during Build and Capture
I have run into a problem while attempting to use the Install Software Update task during a build and capture task sequence. I have MDT 2012U1 integrated into SCCM 2012.
The Install Software steps find and use the Deployment Points fine and the Use Toolkit steps similarly are able to download their source files from the distribution points using the Network Access account. The Install Software Updates step, however
fails with an access denied error in the CAS.log.
I have found that I can work around this problem by setting the DP to allow anonymous access. After checking this box, the software updates install during the build and capture task sequence. Unchecking the Allow anoymous makes the problem recur.
I would like to not have to have the "allow anonymous access" enabled on the DPs for obvious reasons. Other packages download correctly from the DP with anonymous access disabled - they use the network access account. Install Software Updates
is the only step that seems unable to use that account to talk with the DP.
Is this a known issue? Is there a work around?Thanks for the information. I will give that a try. I do have the SMSMP & SMSSLP (not sure I need this one in 2012) filled in in the Configmgr client install settings. Before I did that, it couldn't even find the SUP.
I am a little skeptical that the hotfix will fix my problem since most packages are downloading from the DP fine - it is only Software Updates that are failing to download. On the other hand, it is clearly a permissions issue since allowing anonymous
on the DP resolves the issue, all be it in a way I am uncomfortable maintaining in the long run.
That KB replaces a lot of key Windows system files. Hopefully, it won't cause more problems than it solves.
---additional thought
I wonder, could it be that Packages that work without this KB have package share settings with "Copy the content in this package to a packages share on Distribution Points" cleared/unchecked? This setting is not available for patch packages
- so I wonder if it is enabled by default behind the scenes. That could explain why the patch packages are affected and not the other regular application packages I have are not. All my regular packages so far do not have the
"Copy the content" box checked. Clients would be accessing the packages differently I suppose based on whether it was through a packages share or through the new SCCM 2012 package storage thing with the hashing. -

Satellite C75D-A7370
ordered recovery media from Toshiba and installed it. .... I tried to call Toshiba support, but because I am outside my warranty, I was told I would be charged for support.
It is running Windows 8..even though it is supposed to be on 8.1 (according to the sticker on the bottom of the laptop).
The product key is buried in the hardware.
According to the spec above, the original model shipped with Windows 8 and needed to be upgraded. My guess is that they later shipped the same model with Windows 8.1.
It appears Toshiba shipped the wrong recovery media.
Explain that when you call. -
Applying all update\patches during 'install software update' step
Hi,
I have created software update group (around 10 updates\patches) and deploy it to 'unknown computers' collection. Ts 'Install software update' step scans through and only installs 2 updates out of 10. I have kept deploy property as 'required' while publishing
on 'unknown computers' and 'install software update' has 'All Software update' selected (other option is mandatory update'). I want to have all the 10 required update to be installed . any idea what should be the settings on 'deploy' prperty for software group
that install all the updates in the group during 'install software update' step? Any pointers will be appreciated
Regards,Hi,
Yes , they need a reboot and reboot is happening automatically. I believe, once reboot is done, other patches should take over with installation. I don't see any information for another updates that are part of same software group. For these 2 succefully
installed updates log has below that indicates they reboot and finish.

Installed software it response and feeds but prints nothing
installed software it response and feeds but prints nothing
Which updates were done?
Have you checked and made sure your permissions are correct? This is done with Disk Utility, which is found in the Utility folder in Applications. At the same time Verify the drive, as an added measure.
Also try deleting the following preference file com.apple.systempreferences.plist
It will be replaced by the system when necessary.
If it still is not correct, I would down load the 10.4.11 combo update, repair permissions again, then install the combo update.
