V10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0 froze after reboot

While running OS X 10.8.5 I installed the "OS X v10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0" from the Software Update menu, and the initial install process succeeded, and then prompted me to restart the machine as expected.
I clicked restart and then during the start-up process, a dialog "Installing Software Update…" appeared, got to about 80% progress and then froze with "Less than a minute" to go:
I waited about 20 minutes for something to happen, but nothing moved at all.
So then I forced a restart by holding down the power button, and the machine rebooted and everything appeared normal.
But I was worried that the update had not installed correctly, so I downloaded the combo update for "OS X v10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0" from Apple and re-installed it. Again, the initial install process succeeded and prompted me to restart. However this time, no additional install dialog appeared during the startup process.
After the startup, things appeared normal, except there was no OS X menu bar at first - it wasn't until I clicked an app in the Dock that the OS X menu bar suddenly appeared (I don't know if that's significant or related).
I rebooted the machine once more, and everything seems completely normal now. Software Update is not prompting me to install the supplemental update again (says there's nothing to install).
Any idea what happened? What is the purpose of the "Installing Software Update" process that runs after startup? And what is the significance and likely impact of it freezing at 80% and not completing?

The supplemental update did address the 'slow' Time Machine backups under 10.7.5 - if this is your first backup, and depending on how much data you are backing up, I would guess that it could take 6-9 hours, but certainly not 2 (or 99) days. If it seems that the backup is 'hung' just stop it, reformat the external drive, and try again. For some great Time Machine troubleshooting tips, see http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html.
Good luck,

  • Mac OS X v10.7.5 Supplemental Update 1.0

    I installed Mac OS X v10.7.5 Supplemental Update 1.0 a few days ago, which said (amongst other things) that it was to improve TimeMachine Backup times... yet, previously it was estimated to complete in 2 days, yet since the install the estimate is now 99 days...
    Not sure that it is a great improvement (although this is an initial sync)

  • 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.

  • Computer froze; after reboot: "No AirPort card installed."

    I was online checking email, doing nothing out of the ordinary, when all of a sudden my computer froze. There was no spinning wheel; the computer was completely unresponsive. I manually powered it off, and when I turned it back on and found that I could not connect to the internet. I clicked the AirPort icon and the dropdown said "No AirPort card installed."
    I reset the PRAM. I did an SMC reset. I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled OS X. I did both the standard and extended Apple Hardware Tests and there was "No trouble found."
    In System Profiler, under Network > AirPort, the various Software Versions are listed. However, AirPort is not listed under Network > Active Services. In System Preferences > Network, AirPort is "Off" and when I attempt to turn it on, nothing happens. If I delete the AiPort connection and try to add a new one, "AirPort" does not appear in the interface dropdown menu. I tried turning AirPort on via Terminal using the command "sudo ifconfig en1 up" and received the message "ifconfig: interface en1 does not exist".
    At this point it seems as though the AirPort card has crapped out, but if it did indeed go bad, why does it not show up in Apple Hardware Test? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

    As I understand it, the SMC and PRAM are actual chips on the logic board, and the resets restore them to their original factory values. That's about all I know to say about them since I'm not an IT person and have very little troubleshooting experience myself.
    I'm not familiar with the term NIC. Is this the same as the airport card?
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/13-MacBook-Airport-Card-p-17152.html
    If so, it should be easy to locate on the logic board as it's pretty large. I don't know if the same card is used in both of your 13" Macs or not--You would need to research that for yourself. However, it seems like in many cases, replacing the card didn't seem to work, although you could always inspect it to be sure the antenna is well seated. I'm not familiar with the 13" card, but the card in my 17" MBP actually has 2 antennas.
    Both PowerBook Medic and ifixit have step by step guides for disassembling Macs and replacing parts. You may be able to find the information you want there.
    Just finished looking through the long thread, and it looks like every possible solution that I could think of has been tried.
    As for testing the hardware, many people have recommended Tech Tool Pro:
    http://www.micromat.com/
    You also should have the Apple Hardware test on one of your original system discs, and if you had Applecare, a Tech Tool Deluxe disc with a hardware test. I'm not sure, but it may be that if you purchased Applecare and got Tech Tool Deluxe, you may be able to buy Tech Tool Pro at a discount.
    Apple Stores also have a hardware test they can run from their store feed if you have access to one.
    If you do decide to resort to a USB card, here's one that works pretty well:

  • Big hard drive problem after 10.8.5 supplemental update

    Hello, I just tried installing the 10.8.5 supplemental update, but now I can't restart my iMac at all. It keeps trying to reinstall the update, and then shuts down. I can restart from the recovery HD, but I can't reinstall the previous software as it says that both of my disks are locked, the main HD and the recovery HD. I tried disk repair, but it says the main HD can't be repaired. Is there any way to unlock the disks? Any other options? Thanks.

    You will have to do internet recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
    or Mountain Lion Recovery disk assistant  OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0
    If you have a third party utility like disk warrior or techtool  DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
    they might be able to fix your drive, but this is unlikely.
    If you can get the drive repaired and you are still game for the update, I'd use the combo installer instead. A lot of people have had problems with the supplemental installer. I just used the combo installer the other day for a problem I was having with iTunes, worked like a charm. OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
    If the recovery partition will let you, you might have to erase the drive and reinstall ML and reinstall your documents from backups, which I hope you have.
    If it won't let you, and DW or TT or Disk Utility won't fix or erase your drive, then the drive has probably failed, and you'll have to replace it.

  • 10.7.5 supplemental update doesn't change build number to 11G63b

    I have a bunch of Macs still with Lion and Apple Remote Desktop reports that one of them has Mac OS X 10.7.5 build number 11G63 while all the others have build number 11G63b. I'd like to align them so I installed the OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update on the Mac with build 11G63 to update it to 11G63b. The update installed correctly but after restarting the Mac it still reports 10.7.5 build 11G63.
    Am I missing something?
    I read that the supplemental update "is not needed if you install the Mac OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update (build 11G63)" but AFAIK it should nevertheless update the build number, shouldn't it?

    Where are you clicking on it? In your Purchases list or are you clicking on the button below the application:
    The text in the button will differ depending on whether you've already purchase it or not.

  • 10.8.2 Supplemental update crashes?

    Hi All,
    How are you getting on with the 10.8.2 supplemental update? Mine results in yet more problems.
    After the update and subsequent restart, all was fine for about 4 hours, then total lock-up. I had to force restart my MBA and on boot-up I got loads of error messages scrolling on the grey apple screen, followed by a bunch of error text overlayed on the apple icon. To continue the re-boot I was invited to press a key or wait - I was too slow to take a pic of the screen to post here.
    Any one else experiencing this and have advice?
    Rob.

    I had this problem and I used Disk Utility to find and repair my drive. I rebooted normally and all is now well.

  • IMac-27inch model (late 2012) running slow after Mountain Lion 10.8.5 supplemental update

    I have the iMac 27-inch (late 2012 model), 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive.  All of a sudden after the Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Supplemental update it started running like molasses (apps take forever to open, takes forever to wake out of sleep, long boot up times, etc.)  I ran verify disk, verify disk permissions, etc.  I found that when I ran verify disk permissions, it stated that the iTunes permissions weren't right so I repaired disk permissions, reboot, still same problem.  Ran verify disk permissions again, once again iTunes permissions issues, repair disk permissions, restart, same problem over and over again like Ground Hog Day, please help...

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post.  I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

  • 10.6.8 Supplemental update -- Freeze

    I let software update install this supplemental update today, after ensuring that my time machine backup had completed.  After the restart, it seemed to launch ok until the desktop appeared with larger/rearranged icons, and a huge dock appeared (usually hidden and containing many more items).  Activity Monitor launched (login item) and began updating.... then stopped. 
    At that point, I could move the pointer with the mouse, but it was otherwise unresponsive. I've seen similar behavior with 2 bad video boards in past, but there weren't any screen glitches.  It would boot in safe mode, but all my usual finder/keyboard/mouse preferences were reset to those of a new install.  Any attempt to reboot led to a similar hang shortly after launch.  (< 30 sec). 
    I undid the changes, reverting to a complete restore from this AM's time machine backup.  While it is back to functioning as it was before the update, I appear to have lost anything in my user folder that was changed since the last restart some time ago.  This is a feature of file vault, I presume. 
    Does anyone else long for the days when Apple Computer sold computers, rather than lifestyle? 

    Same problem here, but i don't have time machine running so cannot back out the update.  Hope Apple fixes this soon.

  • PS4 Froze After Update 2.57

    Hi all My PS4 froze after the latest 2.57 firware update. It happened after it was succesfully installed and I was trying to close down Battlefield 4, which went a bit strange during a game. Can i just check that I have done the "hold in the power button for 10 seconds" solution to getting my PS4 into safemode and working again?  I abit paranoid that I've done it wrong so any help is appreciated.  I held the button in for 10 seconds, the PS4 beeped and turned off. I turned it on again and it did a file check which took no time. It then asked me to push the PS button which I did. It came on again and their was the option to fill in a error report. I think everything is fine.  Does that sound the right the way I have done it? 

    it sounds like its all good now, no need to worry unless it happens again

  • ? OSX 10.6.8 V1.1 update vs. 10.6.8 update& Supplemental Update

    Hi,
    I did the Combo 10.6.8 update, followed by the 10.6.8 Supplemental Update (small file around 10MB if I am correct) I saw
    ? on  same date posted 7-25-11 10.6.8 V 1.1 Update posted in software downloads in support,(&  and I believe  I saw both  a Combo and Client
    Version option for OSX 10.6.8 V1.1  ) By chance and ? dumb question ..
    Is the 10.6.8 V1.1 update ,(perhaps) a combination of either the Combo 10.6.8 update + the 10.6.8 supplemental update
    and/ or the Client 10.6.8 update and Supplemental  10.6.8 update ?
    s > I did the updates and checked the Software Updates (via the Apple Icon ) and checked a few days apart again
    the 10.6.8 V1.1 never appeared as a update,
    Do I need to download or attempt to download the 10.6.8 v1.1 update (Combo or Client) from Support>Downloads>
