    While running the latest update, my 2010 MBP is stuck at "Installing Software Update". I installed Win7 on Bootcamp prior to running the update. How csan i tell if the Update is still running, the status bar is nearly completed. Thanks

    i managed to resolve the issue by simply powering down and up again. Booted up fine and update shows to have completed successfully.

  • Security update 2014-002 won't install, stuck on gray Software update screen

    My mac mini has been trying to install this security update the past week.  It asks for me to restart, when I do it gets stuck on a Software Updater page or gray screen.  The only way I can proceed is the shut the computer down by manually holding down the power button.  When I restart it shows the update not applied.
    I've tried downloading the update directly and applying and no difference.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The worst of these background programs, MacKeeper requires you remove it with third party instructions:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3036
    You should not use cache cleaners on any system other than a backed up system.
    You should not multitask while attempting to back your data.
    Open the Activity Viewer to determine what other processes may be running and determine if one of those is one you recognize that is third party.
    Antivirus and firewall software are not essential, unless you practice unsafe computing in the first place.  In those instances ClamAV and Sophos are probably the best bets about being the least intrusive.

  • HT6114 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.

    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.

    My macbook air is stuck at the "installing software updated" screen while installing update for the osX. What should I do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac has been installing software updates for a long time, Software Update is probably frozen. Hold the Power button until your MacBook Air turns off, and turn it on again. OS X should start up.

  • Stuck in installing software/security update

    Hi,
    I downloaded the latest software/security update, OS X (Mavericks) 10.9.2, from the Mac App Store. I'm using a Mac Air. But after it restarted and the screen shows "Installing Software Update", the progress bar has stopped well, progressing. It's nearly finished when it stopped moving to complete the installation. I'm still able to move around the pointer around but it has been two hours. It worked just fine with my other Mac Air.
    Any advice out there?
    Thanks.

    Mac Software Update Frozen
    I had the same thing happen. The update just froze when it was almost done. To be specific, here is what I did to fix (same as above, but more specific).
    1. Hold power button to manually shut down computer
    2. To to Apple icon
           -->about this mac (I showed that I had "version 10.9.1" at that point) -->click on "Software update"
    3. Follow prompts and all will be well with your computer

  • 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.
    WUHandler has log:

  • Install Software update install Office updates?

    Hi , 
    Does 'Install software update' task in configuration manager installs office patches or just OS pacthes? I have Office patches (around 100 ) software update group is advertised\deployed to my build and capture machine. Once machine is build, i don't see
    any of the office patches installed. I have added 'install software update' step after Install application and packages step (so that office get installed first). 
    Regards,

    Assuming that you are talking about within a task sequence. This task installs "all" or "all required" (depending upon which option you pick) software updates that are deployed  (and applicable based upon a compliance scan of course) to the target
    system -- it doesn't matter what kind of update it is. During OSD, the updates need to be deployed to the same collection that the task sequence is.
