Feb 5, 2012I ran the 10.7.3 upgrade (via Software Update) to upgrade from 10.7.2 on both my iMac and my MBP. Worked fine on my iMac, but the install on my MBP stuck during "Moving items into place...".
After waiting for about an hour I rebooted the MBP and it stuck on the grey Apple screen with the the spinning clock hands (do they have an offiicial name?),
I rebooted in Safe Mode and everything looked fine, but with no Internet connection (my iMac had an Internet connection, so no router problems).
I rebooted again (normal boot i.e. not in Safe Mode) and downloaded the Combo Updater on to my MPB (Internet access now fine - also 'About this Mac' shows the OS level as 10.7.3). I am now running the Combo Updater on my MBP, but it has once again stuck during "Moving items into place...". It says the remaining install time is about a minute - it has been stuck here for about 15 minutes, with no movement on the Progress Bar.
At what point should I give up and reboot? What should I try next? Should I have applied the Combo Updater when booted in Safe Mode?

Mac Pro :: Does Spotlight Begin To Re-index Drives After Each Startup?
Jun 2, 2012Three days ago I was browsing the web when my cursor evidently brushed over an ad for MacKeeper. In a few seconds MacKeeper had downloaded itself without asking and taken over Safari. Since I don't like thuggish behavior in people or in software, as soon as I regained control of Safari I moved MacKeeper to the trash and did a "Secure Empty Trash." I then aimed Intego's Virus Barrier at the Downloads folder and it found nothing questionable. I checked out various webpages where people describe how to rid your computer of MacKeeper if you've installed it - - I didn't install it, but I checked in all the recommended places and found nothing visible. However whether it is a coincidence or there is a causal relation immediately after this incident, Spotlight began to re-index my two internal hard drives - - estimating first that it would take 3 days, then 7 days to index them. I wrote about this on another thread and received the following advice:
"Spotlight's probably in a wobble. A few things you could do:
1. Tell Spotlight to start again. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app) and copy/paste this command: sudo mdutil -E /
Press 'return'. You'll be asked for your password, which will not echo when you type it, so type carefully.
Give Spotlight a few minutes then check on its progress, does it look like it's going to complete in a reasonable amount of time? If the problem persists
2. Restart your Mac in Safe mode and log in to your account.
This'll take a while. When it's finished, immediately restart and log in normally and check on Spotlight again."
I performed the first step. After a few minutes Spotlight estimated that it would complete indexing in 20 minutes. Over the next few hours it continued to increase its estimates to an ever larger number of hours.
Then I performed the second step. After completing it Spotlight's estimate was that it would take several days.
Eventually I performed the first step again and the same sequence of increasing estimates occurred.
I left the computer on overnight and by morning Spotlight estimated it would take 35 hours to complete indexing of my drives.
Later on I turned the computer off. When I started it up again Spotlight had started once again to re-index my drives and now estimates it will take 5 days.
None of this behavior had occurred before the mishap with MacKeeper. Since I have a recent clone of the startup drive that was made before this incident it seems possible that I could zero out my internal startup drive after saving any files that have changed to a DVD, use Virus Barrier to check if there is anything questionable present in the folder in which they are located and then clone the data from the backup drive back to the newly formatted internal hard drive. However I would rather not have to do this, so I would be most grateful for any less extreme suggestions.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOS X :: SL Upgrade VS Clean Install VS Archive And Install?
Aug 25, 2009I have many questions but few clear answers. What would be the benefits of doing a clean install vs. an upgrade? I have an iMac 8,1 which supposedly is eligible for a 64 bit kernel. Would I have to do a clean install or an "archive and install" to get the 64bit kernel? Also, can someone explain to me exactly what an "archive and install" is/does? From the name, I'd assume it would back up your HDD to an external storage unit, then do a clean install, but I'm probably way wrong.
One more question. If I so happen to choose to do a clean install, would Time Machine be an adequate way to restore all my data after the update? Any help or answers to any of the above questions would truly make my day. You will also be rewarded $1,000,000,000 in Happy FunTime money.
MacBook Pro :: Won't Stay Asleep - Hard Drive Begin Spinning Again After Some Time
Dec 10, 2014I am desperate and really need an answer to this question. I have tried everything and had no luck.
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) running Yosemite. Whenever I close the screen, it will fall asleep like it normally does. However, the external light will only pulse once (instead of continuously), and then I can hear the hard drive begin spinning again. The external light then stays at a constant, but the screen does not light back up.
It's like the computer falls asleep, but then only the hard drive wakes up, and stays woken up. This fact causes my Macbook to eventually use up whatever battery power it has and get warm in my backpack. The only thing I can do to preserve battery power is to shut down the whole computer and boot it up every time I need it.
Also, on a side note. My computer seems to run much slower than it did on it's native Mavericks.

Jan 26, 2008Ive purchased a used emac from a friend. 800Mhz, 256MB, 60GB HD, SuperDrive. Nice little machine for the kids. It has OSX 10.2 (Jaguar). I would like to upgrade it to Tiger. (wont support Leopard). My plan was to take my iBook license of Tiger, install it on the eMac, and then purchase Leopard license for my iBook. Would like to know if this is legit.
To see if this was viable, I tried to install Tiger on the eMac with the install DVD that came with my iBook. It starts up the install process, and the says that it cannot be installed on this machine.
Im not trying to circumvent anything. If possible to buy leopard for iBook and use it�s existing license on eMac that would be great.
