I tried to update using the Software Update. Couldn’t do it because it didn’t recognize a digital signature?

I went to Apple Rumor’s website where I got the link to Apple’s download link.

The download did okay, but when I tried to restart, it wouldn’t restart. It was like in a loop of some sort. I turned the iMac off (I know, a stupid thing to do). It almost didn’t restart, but finally kicked in and everything is up fine.

I did turn it completely off and restart it and it’s fine now.

But man, I was praying hard, LOL.

I’ve got a brother who has used Macs for almost as long as I have. I guess I got him started way back in the 80s. But, he got going on Mac OS X, version 10.1, a number of years back — and I can’t get him to update or upgrade to the current one... LOL...

I don’t know how he can keep using that older system... :-)

I got the standalone updater downloaded, I have 3 Macs that need the update, and the first one up is a MacPro.

It went through its paces fine, until the prompt came to restart and finish the update. It has since taken down the dock, kept my background, and every second or so it tickles the hard disk (Raid-1).

There’s been no change for a half hour now. The keyboard power button causes a little disk grinding, then nothing. In an hour I’ll be back home, and
If I don’t see any change, I’ll pull the power plug from the back and try to reboot.

Are there any other options?

Is this free rescue kit for Mac of any use to the Mac guys?
