    Mac upgrade question

    This should be a great thread?

    Anyway, I just downloaded Yosemite and am running the install. The progress bar has not moved in an hour. I keep checking it, no movement. There is no mention of time remaining either.

    What do I do? I can't imagine a hard shutdown would be good during an installation. Do I continue to wait?

      Either continue to wait, or cancel it and wait for when Apple's not being nailed harder then a ten cent jewish hooker.

          Cancel it how? And what does my computers installation have to do with the Apple website? It downloaded close to 6 GB of files. Is there more?

              After the 6GB, I was done. It did take a long ass time to "upgrade", and it broke a lot of shit, like Apache, PHP, JRE, etc ... but that almost always happens.

              I dislike the new look, but it'll grow on my like always. I don't use Mac OS X for the looks, I use it to put Unix on my desktop for development purposes.

              It's probably worth a call to Apple, Sly, or to the local Genius bar. Good luck!

                          I started the update but canceled it as it was downloading pretty slow. I will hold off for a few days and do the update over the weekend. Please post again after you've used it a while and let me know what you think?

                          One new feature that I am curious about is the ability to answer cellphone calls on your Mac. I updated my iPhone and iPad to the latest IOS and can now answer cellphone calls on my iPad. It's "Ok" but annoying because I'd never use my iPad for that purpose. However, I could really use it on my Mac as I am forever plugged into it via a headset.

                              That's the feature that I want as well, plus the texting.

                              Right now the progress bar is still stuck. Not sure what to do. Hard power down?

                                  I assume you are downloading from the App Store so it would be the App Store icon.

                                  You can Force Quit by clicking and hold the icon on the Dock. A popup menu will appear, after a few seconds select "Force Quit"
                                  .
                                  .

                                  Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

                                      There is no dock. It's downloaded. I'm looking at a white screen with a progress bar that has barely moved for the last 2 1/2 hours. This is the installation screen. It is frozen.

                                      Swear I have mentioned this once or twice. ;-)

                                          Ok in that case then hold down Command-Option-Shift-Esc for at least 30 seconds.
                                          If no response hit the power button and Shut Down.

                                              I did a power down. Turned it back on and now seems to be installing. 17 minutes left. Did not get a time indicator before.

                                                  Finally set! I have no problem with the design so far.

                                                  Need to upgrade to iOS8 next.

                                                      Hi Sly,

                                                      Good to hear! I decided not to wait, and updated 3 of my Macs to the new OS. The download was slow at first but I just let it go in the background and hardly noticed it.

                                                      So far everything on all 3 macs seems to work working well. I tested the phone feature and surprise! It works. This is a pretty cool feature because now I can use my mac for all of my voice calls (Skype, Toll free 866 number, and now my cellphone. Pretty cool).

                                                      The new interface is different, but I like it. The Maximize button now takes any app full screen which at first I hated, but now I like. So far that's the only thing I have played with.
