Captain El installation stuck

installed at El Captain on my iMac. After reboot, I have a white screen. I read online to restart. This did not help. Help!

Please take each of these steps that you have not already tried it. Some of them are not applicable to your model or your situation. Stop when the problem is resolved.

To restart a computer is not responding, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the unit turns off, then release, wait a few seconds and press again briefly.

Step 1

The first step to respond to a startup failure is to secure data. If you want to keep the contents of the boot drive and you have not already at least a current backup, you should try to back up now, before we do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care the data changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.

There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to store backup data.

a. starting the partition recovery or an hour Local Machine backup volume (button option key at startup). When the OS X Utilities appears, launch disk utility and follow the instructions in this support articleto the title of the "Instructions for the backup on an external hard drive via disk utility". The article refers to the start of a DVD, but the recovery mode procedure is the same. You don't need a DVD if you use OS X 10.7 or higher.

(b) If step 1 fails due to disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to save some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external hard drive with OS X installed, the start of it. Otherwise, if you have access to the Internet, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external hard drive and install OS X on it. You will use the installation program of recovery, rather than download it from the App Store.

c. If you have access to a Mac, and it work and have both the non-working Mac FireWire ports or stroke, start the Mac non-working in target disk mode. Work Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique will not work with USB, Ethernet, Wi - Fi or Bluetooth.

d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is replaceable by the user, remove it and climb into a docking station that is pregnant or an external drive. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Step 2

If you have booted from an external drive, make sure that the internal boot volume is selected in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

Start in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. If you do not see the words "Safe Boot" in the start screen, you did not start in safe mode. Ask for additional instructions.

Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, and some things don't work at all, including the networks without wire on some Macs.

The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You must know the password for the connection to connect. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

If the startup progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or the system stops automatically when the progress bar appears, the boot volume is corrupted and the player is probably defective. In this case, go to step 9. If you have another problem with the player, replace it immediately.

If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the trash and then open the window of info on the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) Make sure you have at least 9 GB of space available, as shown in the window. If you do not, copy as many files as necessary on another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion is not complete until you empty the trash again. This, until the space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

If the boot process hangs again, the problem is probably caused by third-party software you have installed. Ask for additional instructions.

Step 3

If the startup process stops at a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, then the logon dialog box may be active but not visible because of a bug. You may be able to connect by using the arrow keys or the cursor to select the password field and type your password as usual.

Step 4

Case of failure of step 3, the boot volume can be complete. If you saw previously implemented guard space drive is low, it is certainly the case. You might be able to start in safe mode , even if you cannot boot normally. Otherwise, boot from an external hard drive, or well technology for step 1b, 1 c or 1 d allows to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation volume.

Step 5

If a Mac desktop (without the built-in keyboard) crashes on a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Hold down the button on the side of a wireless Apple keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you use a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.

Step 6

Sometimes, a startup failure can be solved by resetting the NVRAM.

Step 7

If there is an integrated optical drive, a disk may be stuck in there. Follow these instructions to remove it.

Step 8

Press and hold the power button until the unit turns off. Disconnect all devices wired except those needed to start and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use another keyboard and/or mouse, if these devices are wired. If you can start now, one of the devices that you disconnected, or a combination of both, the origin of the problem. Discover that it is a process of elimination.

Step 9

Launch the utility disk in recovery mode (see step 1). Select the boot volume, and then run the repair disk. If problems are found, repeat until that clear. If disk utility reports that the volume is not repairable, the drive is defective and must be replaced. You can choose to tolerate such malfunction in the reader's life. In this case, delete the volume and restore it from a backup. If the same thing happens again, replace the drive immediately.

It is one of the rare situations where you must also run repair permissions, ignoring the erroneous warnings, that it can produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.

Step 10

If the boot device is an aftermarket SSD, it may have an update and/or a forced "garbage collection". Instructions how to do this with a Crucial SSD of brand have been posted here. Some of these instructions may apply to other brands of SSDS, but you should check with the technical support of the provider.

Step 11

Reinstall the OS. If the Mac has upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you need the Apple ID and password used to upgrade.

Step 12

Do as in step 11, but this time clear the disk utility boot volume before installing. The system should restart automatically in the installation wizard. Follow the prompts to transfer data from one Time Machine or another backup.

Step 13

This step applies only to models that have a battery logic-board ("PRAM"): all of the Mac Pro, MacBook with a removable main battery and a few others (models not updated). A flat battery logic-board may cause a boot failure. In general the failure will be preceded by the loss of the system and boot disk clock settings. Refer to the user manual for replacement instructions. You may need to take the machine to a provider of services to have to replace the battery.

Step 14

If you get this far, you probably deal a hardware failure. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.

    Found this remark 2099095.1 published recently.

    Cause

    The installation process attempts to access the Oracle lb site - ccr.oracle.com.  The current security settings of firewall allow connection to the site, but they are blocking content being returned by Oracle.

    To verify that this is the issue, while the WebLogic installation is underway:

    1. open a command prompt window.
    2. type: netstat
    3 check the flow rate for a connection to lb - ccr.oracle.com, listed in STANDBY mode

    Solution

    In the configuration of your firewall, enable "Download content" for lb - ccr.oracle.com.  Or completely block the lb - ccr.oracle.com.

    Although I am confronted with exactly same error on newspapers, this side is not in standby mode. Always wanted to check how can I block this link?

  • Windows 7 installation stuck on windows startup

My laptop is preinstalled with windows 8, then I upgraded to 8.1 pro then have windows 7 ultimate and when I install it it gets to the windows startup screen and does nothing. so, how to solve this problem?

    Decommissioning of laptop computers pre-installed with Windows 8 for Windows 7, you must disable Secure Boot.

    I would recommend that also save your installation before doing so.

  • Windows Installer stucks at "preparing to remove...." "whenever trying to uninstall the program

    Hello.

    I need help to solve this problem. A few days ago I was installing and uninstalling many programs... and Windows Installer did not show any kind of mistakes either. Now when I try to uninstall a program, it just stucks at 'Preparation delete... '. "and when I click on 'Cancel', nothing happens, so I need to complete the process in the Task Manager.

    Windows Installer may be damaged or something, I don't know why it won't uninstall programs more. I tried to uninstall programs, when I click on one of the programs, only a stucks too and I need to cancel the uninstall Microsoft FixIt tool.

    I have download some sort of "Revo Uninstaller" it stucks on this one aswell, as no doubt everything is connected to the Windows Installer service.

    I tried to restart the service, and then restart the computer, always it stucks. Interesting thing is that he wants to install programs actually but won't uninstall them. Only way to uninstall is to go to their folder and click on one of the executables that suggests to "Uninstall" program. Problem is, that some of these programs have not just in their file and who is right for which I need to uninstall from the control panel.

    I'm trying to understand this for two days already, not to do. The only change I made to the system, it's that I have installed the latest graphic driver NVIDIA GeForce customer experience through. Nothing else.

    I don't want to reinstall Windows because of this. It's pain the *, and I did not restore point system, so I'll lose everything if I re-install the entire system.

    P.S. I'm sorry if I chose the wrong category. I've no idea what Windows should be the problem of mine.

    Hello

    Revo is a great little program and works independently of Windows.

    Malware related programs have a tendency to not let you uninstall them, no matter what you do.

    Error 305 is a long drive Self Test failure and would indicate that the HARD disk has failed.

    As another test, you can try the following.

    Follow the procedure below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in part 3 of 'Try' to see if the operating system is running.  The option 'Try' runs the operating system from the CD without having to install on your HARD drive.  If it works Ok (it will be slow running on a CD), this would tend to confirm that the problem is with the HARD drive.
