Updates marked to be installed after reboot aren't installed

Just installed Solaris 10 on my hp laptop. Downloaded the available updates. After a reboot, there are still two listed to be installed 'after a reboot.' Rebooting again, I see the same thing. Suggestions?

rpotala,
if you are trying to install OS X onto an erased disk or onto a newly formatted disk, and your Mac originally came from the factory with Lion or newer installed, then you will need Internet access to perform an OS X Internet Recovery.
If your Mac originally came from the factory with Snow Leopard or older installed, then you will need to install Mac OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your Mac.

MacBook Pro 2011- Allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think). After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.

I have a MacBook Pro 2011. I allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think). After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle. No progression bar ever appeared. It just sits and spins. I tried rebooting with Command + Option + R + P and hearing the chime twice....this did not work.
I also tried Command +Option+R which took me to internet recovery. From there, I chose reinstall Mac OS X Lion 10.7 but it says my hard drive is locked so I wasnt able to select it. What do I do???? Help! I don't want to lose my files and it doesnt appear that I've used Time Machine Back Up.

I you upgraded to OS X 10.8, then use RecoveryHD by holding Command R at boot time (no option) and reinstall OS X over itself that way so your installing Mountain Lion.
Also Disk Uility can be used to Repair the Macintosh HD parttion.
Also you can use that RecoveryHD to format and install OS X onto a external drive, then option/alt key boot from it and access your files on the non-booting internal drive before erasing, reformatting and reinstalling OS X fresh.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

Ios 7.0.3 was updated and installed but after reboot it was still in 7.0.2

i'm unable to update from ios 7.0.2 to ios 7.0.3 which is the latest version for my iphone 4 but it isn't updating from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 after rebooting
please help me what might be the problem

I believe in the initial iOS 7.0.0 release, the "Reduce Motion" only affected the Parallax effect. iOS 7.0.3 now affects both the Parallax effect as well as zoom effect. Disabling motion now changes the zoom effect to a fade effect while the Parallax feature remains the same.

Unable to see update iOS 7.1 even after many times install and reboot

Hi All,
I am unable to see my iPhone 4 updated with iOS7.1 even after multiple installs. I found this issue even with the previous version i7.0.X but ignored it as I was ok for going for an update then. But now I am keen to have iOS 7.1 as itseems it is giving performance improvements. Please help/suggest.

this is solved by connecting to itunes.. was not able to do via wifi..thanks all

Iphone 5, after 8.3 update, "no SIM card installed" alert began.

after 8.3 update, my phone alerts me with a "no sim card installed", i reboot my iphone, it works for minutes then same problem, and i'm sure that's caused by the last update.
Your wars with jailbreakers stuff aren't our problem, please throw your updates without crashing our iphones.

I am having this same issue. I upgraded a brand new iphone 4, unlocked, never been jailbroken or anything like that, and after i downloaded ios 5 and upgraded the phone to it, i'm getting "SIM not valid. Only compatible SIM cards from a supportted Carrier may be used to activate iphone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card".
No idea what to do....
Any help is welcome!

Friends, MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New MB Pro with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates. I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great. Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian i

MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great.
Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8. The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
I only desire to get back to OSX...
What are my options??

Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.

OSD Exits to Ctl-Alt-Del after Reboot from Software Update, leaves Clients in provisioning mode

We are seeing a problem where the Windows 7 SP1 OSD wrongly exits to the Ctl-Alt-Del screen: This problem is occuring with about %25 of our Newly Imaged PCs during the Software Updates step of the Task Sequence (of which there is about 9
outstanding updates), the PCs are rebooted as 4 of these updates finish with COMPLETE_SOFT_REBOOT_NEEDED.
After the Software Updates Reboot the following errors are found:

I have checked the logs based on other forum suggestions I can say the following:
-Network adapter is getting valid address;
-I do not have a step for "Install Roles and Features";
-I can apply registry changes for each machine to take them out of Provisioning mode, and after that I dont have any problems - this is far from the solution that I hope for.

Any update on this as I am struggling with this issue for the past few days ?
Our image was built last year so when I want to recreate it, it has to do 150 updates. We don't have WSUS updates into SCCM so I had to use a wsf script to get the updates from our WSUS server.
If I image the computer without doing the updates and do them manually by running the script here is what happens :
1st execution of the script : 137 updates installed and a reboot is required
I manually reboot
2nd execution of the script : 13 updates installed and a reboot is required
I manually reboot
3rd execution of the script : 4 updates installed
I manually reboot
4th execution of the script : no updates required.
If I only do 1 execution of the script in my TS : it works fine, it installs the 137 updates but then when the PC is done imaging, it still needs the 13+4 other updates which I don't really like.
At first, I tried adding this in my TS:
WSUS 1/3
System restart (triggered by the TS)
WSUS 2/3
System restart (triggered by the TS)
WSUS 3/3
System restart (triggered by the TS)
This stops at step #2, I see it do the 137 updates and then when it reboots, it goes into provisioning mode and doesn't continue. Looks like there is an issue with the reboot so...
I have tried removing the reboot as follows
WSUS 1/3
WSUS 2/3
WSUS 3/3
This installs the 137 updates in step #1 and downloads the 13 updates in step 2 and 3 but log file says a reboot is required to install them. The TS then continues but once it meets a System restart triggered by the TS, it doesn't resume the TS and goes
also in provisionning mode.
Any idea on why it goes into provisioning mode after installing the updates ? To me, it looks like there is a probably with the state that WSUS puts the computer in, like it is pending reboot but the System restart by the TS doesn't seem to work when trying
the reboot ?
Thanks!!!!

HT2292 the latest itunes update on my vista laptop brings up R6034 runtime error - after rebooting - uninstalling - reinstalling i have no itunes access. please correct in your updates. there are others with the same error message

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

After rebooting following an update firefox will not open how do I fix this?

I've tried everything I can think of but firefox will not open

Installing Itunes 6 renders computer dead after reboot

Meant to post this long ago. Was just going to walk away and forget it but someone bought my daughters an iPod so I’m going to try again…
(Possible solution at the end of my rant)
19-Oct-05 about 11:00pm I installed itunes 6. The install went fine and prompted to reboot at the end. I said no. A few minutes later I rebooted.
The computer hung on reboot at the windows is starting up logo screen.
I reset and tried safe mode with networking this hung at the text startup screen.
I reset and tried safe mode this hung at the text startup screen also.
I tried last known good configuration and this too hung
I tried all the other options and all of them hung at either the logo or text startup screen.
I got the windows2000 install CD and tried to repair. The first time I ran repair it seemed to check the disk and did nothing else. Still had hang after reboot. Then I tried manual repair console. This allowed me to look around and see that the files were OK. Chkdsk showed no problems. I looked for log files but found none with anything interesting. I suspected that the problem was with a driver so I looked in system32\drivers. I couldn't tell which drivers were just added because the files would have the time they were built not the time installed.
I rebooted many times with no luck.
I tried the windows install CD again. This time repair offered to replace all the files that were different from the install media and I took this option. Still had hang problem after reboot. Tried safe mode and a few other options.
Searched the web (from another computer) and found only one mention of a similar problem but it was about iTunes 4.1
I tried repair console again and this time (thanks to the windows repair) there were only a few drivers with dates in 2005. I renamed two
- mmc_2k.sys
- GEARAspiWDM.sys
This time booting into safe mode worked. Restarted and tried normal boot and this worked also. Now the computer reboots but I have hours of work ahead to reinstall all the windows updates. I tried to uninstall iTunes but it failed because now an old version of windows installer (MSI) is installed. I’ll spare you the details of getting the OS and all my software to work again. (It took days)
I wanted to find out which driver was the real problem. Renamed the two drivers back to the original names.
Got hang on restart again.
Using repair console renamed just GEARAspiWDM.sys and system rebooted fine. So GEARAspiWDM.sys must be the problem.
To sum up: GEARAspiWDM.sys bad. If this happens to you try deleting this file from WINNT\system32\drivers. If I had known this I could have saved myself the trouble caused by doing the full system repair.
Disclaimer: This worked for me but I don’t know if it will work for you.
What I wonder is why couldn’t Apple tell me and everyone else about this problem and how to fix it?

When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

Installed Arch on external usb drive: Drive errors after reboot

I installed Arch on my external usb hard drive and everything seemed to be working fine. After rebooting though, I had a bunch of filesytem errors (ext3) and the system was unstable. I am guessing that this has to do with the unloading of the usb modules at shutdown. If this happens to early, then the root drive doesn't have a chance to shutdown properly, hence the filesystem errors.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks!

EtreCheck looks at your log files for any kernel I/O errors. That is what it is reporting. EtreCheck just reports what it finds and tries to avoid judgements exception the most extreme cases. The drive might be OK. I am seeing more reports of this than I would have expected. It may just be a problem with Yosemite. It really prefers SSD disks in all cases. On my own machine, I have seen a slow external drive exhibit classic failure symptoms and sounds when connected via USB2. But then when I switched to FW800, it was fine. Other people are reporting that when they downgraded back to Mavericks, their disk errors went away.
So, I don't have a good answer for you. The drive might be bad, and it might be fine. Yosemite is definitely having problems with it. You may experience performance problems with that drive attached.

After rebooting late 2012 Mac Mini a question mark appears on screen

Hi guys,
After rebooting my late 2012 Mac mini model No A1347 I have a question mark inside a folder always when i try to start my Mac Mini. I understand that I need to reinstall Mac OS X, but I have tryed holding the command, option, R and P keys and nothing happens... I also think the wireless keyboard is maybe not sincronised with the computer, maybe?
I am clueless in how to proceed.
Offcourse, there is no DVD drivein the new mac minis so i can't just reinstall it from a CD.
Please help!!!
Thank you!!

You need to press either the Option key or the Command and R keys. If this doesn't work with the wireless keyboard, use a wired one.
If you can get it booted to a normal Mac OS X system, select that system in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.
