Updates during installation

I thought Apples is a great and wonderful machine and all softwares work much better than Microsoft but to find it is not true. Apples does has it own problem. I want to know why a simple update is very slow and take ages to install. I started on evening at 11:30 PM without AC power but after two hours it went to sleep and restarted after I wake up around 10:00 AM but at 11:30 AM still stuck at 16 minutes and not much had changed. In fact, it was at 11 minutes to installation to complete at 11:30 PM last night. So, I just don't understand how great Apples machine can be. Anybody can help?

Hello,
Yes, Apple's computers are not 100% failure-proof, but there's no failure-proof technology. Even million dollar servers struggle sometimes. Apple machines are great, because they fail much less, than any other computers, and this has a very easy explanation: it is much easier to write an OS for pre-specified systems, than when you don't know what hardware it will run on.
An update can be slow due to various reasons. You can have slow Internet connection, or you could have lost the connection to the update-server during install. It is possible, that during installation some other piece of software used a file, which should have been replaced by the updater to proceed. And these are just two reasons of a thousand.
I suggest you to restart your computer, and stop every application but Software Update. Leave time for updates to download and install.
Install updates always on AC power. Running an update takes surprising amount of processor usage.
Optionally you can try updating later. There might me some trouble on the server side. Either high connection-demand, or updating the server itself.
Also, don't time updates for night. Normally and update should not take more than 20 minutes, you can wait this out, and if you fail several times, it may worth supervising the process.
If you still have technical problems, please answer to this thread. Without crabbing if possible.
Regards,
Gábor

  • Updated itunes, error message about mobile popped up during installation, then after installation, tunes will not start. gives error that a dll file is missing.

    I downloaded the new Itunes version. During installation, there was an error message that said no Mobile access.  After installation, Itunes would not open.  Gave an error message that a DLL file was not found. Removed itunes from computer and initiated new download.  Same problem with new download. Still does not open. I'm stumped.  I have over  30,000 files in itunes and use it every day HELP

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Hi,
    It’s version 13.1.1  It’s a trial version.
    I am updating it from the Creative cloud desktop application.
    I have the photography subscription with Lightroom and Photoshop with Creative Cloud.
    I was interested in trying out the video software and have trials of Premiere Pro as well as others.  The CC desktop app alerted me to the AF update just as it does for the others I subscribe to plus the ones I am using as trials.  I have not had any problems with the other apps (trial or not), only with AF.
    Thanks.

        Hi mnomi! Sorry to learn of the trouble you're running into with your new phone! Have you already switched the device via your My Verizon : http://vz.to/16lkVUY Once you have done this, and verify the sim card is inserted securely, the activation will begin. If the phone is stuck on the wheel and you cannot move forward, you may want to do an alternative reset. Please follow the below instructions:
    1) Ensure the device is powered off.
    2) Press and hold the Volume Down button (located on the right edge) until instructed to release in step 4.
    3) Press and hold the Power button (located on the top-right edge) until the device vibrates (approximately 2 seconds) then release.
    4) When the restore screen appears (exclamation mark), release the Volume Down button.
    5) From the restore screen, press then release the following keys to initiate the reset process:
    1. Volume Up button
    2. Volume Down button
    3. Power button
    4. Volume Down button
    *Allow several minutes for the process to complete (rotating gears appear on the display to indicate that the reset is in progress).
    If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. Keep us posted if this resolves your concerns. Thanks!

    Really?  And you know this based on what?  The lack of a specific error message from the OP?

    Yes... and as the saying goes, when one assume they make an a$$ out of u and me.
    Stop assuming, let the OP provide some more specifics and then some actual troubleshooting can be done.  It's unlikely that your issue and the OP's are related.

  • Update of installation facts during billing proces

    Hello,
    At the start of rhe billing process, the system gets all available installation facts and then continues to work then billing scheme with appropriate rates.  We have set up a construction whereas an installation fact is being updated only during this billing process (at the start the value is initial); The value of this updated fact is also needed in the same billing run for that specific installation.
    Unfortunately, because of the update during the billing proces, this new value is not taken in to account.
    Does anyone know if there exists a user-exit that forces the billing program to taken this updated value into account.
    Thank you

    Try using parallel processing, this would help increasing the performance. Also try to mimize the commit work, may try doing a commit work only after completion of a child job.

  • Can't install os x server 4; stops at "Updating Calendar service" during installation.

    After installing Yosemite I bought the new server 4. During installation, the new OS X Server comes to a point "Updating Calendar service" and the nothing happens.

    Hi
    Presumably you have 10.4.x client already installed? What version of the client is it? What version of the OSX Installer DVD are you trying to install? Ideally they should be the same. Currently the latest verison of OSX Universal Installer is 10.4.7, ideally the client should be at least that or better still 10.4.8.

  • I tried installing an update to QuickTime. An error occurred and it wouldn't install. I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error  ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.  Now what?

    I tried installing an update to QuickTime. An error occurred and it wouldn't install. I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error  ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.  Now what?

    I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error  ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.
    I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Apples update didn't work for me: Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

    Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple Support
    I have followed each of the steps listed in the link above with no success.
    Prior to adding the extra drivers I was able to start the Windows install process up to reformatting the "Windows" Bootcamp drive. After that the computer would go through some instal processes and eventually restart. After the restart the screen would go black. The black screen lead me to the  Apple Support link above dated March 5 2015. After going through steps listed in the link above, I get an error message stating that the D:\Sources\instal.win. file cannot be located. I am forced to restart the computer at that point and theWindows install process attempts to start again but always ends up at the same point.
    Note: I am installing windows 7 Pro from a DVD. I scanned the AutoUnattend.xml file and noticed that it refers to "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" but not "Pro" or any others that I could see. (see below). Could that be part of the issue?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
    16 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB

    Here is an over-simplified explanation of WIM and CLG files. Assume your DVD Media contains
    W7- Ultimate
    W7- Professional
    W7- Home Premium
    W7- Home Basic
    WIM Files

    File4

    File4

    The File .wim will contains a compressed image which contains File [1...5].
    The W7-Ultimate .clg will have 5 entries, with all set to 'Y'.
    The W7-Professional .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','Y','Y'.
    The W7-Home Premium  .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','Y'.
    The W7-Home Basic .clg file will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','N'.
    This allows a single .wim Image file on the DVD media to be used to install any of the 5 flavors of Windows. When you enter your product key, the Installer knows what specific W7 variant you have the key for and will tell the WIM to extract the specific files the installer needs to be extracted.
    The following line
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    is telling that a retail product key will be entered, which should go look for this specific .clg file (from the five you already have on disk).  You can test if it will work for you by changing this line to the following
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    If it does not work, the other issue can be related to device discovery. Typically A: and B: device names are reserved for Floppy Drives. C: is your internal HDD.
    D: can either point to the Optical drive, or the USB. The normal convention is that the removable media is named from Z: backwards. Y: and Z: are usually used for Network drives, so X: should be your USB. First try with the change to "Professional". If it does not work,
