10.5.6 update - gregraven

This same thing has happen to me on two different computers: A Mac Book Pro and a G5 -- both running 10.5.5. This is the first time I've had an issue with a software update, but this is a doozy.

10.5.6 update - rolandgust

Same problem here, original Intel iMac running 10.5.5, 10.5.6 update stalls at the "Configuring Installation" window after clicking Restart.

10.5.6 update - jazzmanpete

Yes, same problem here too. Called Apple. They said to wait a few days this was perhaps the cause of a busy server.

10.5.6 update - Sarge152

Worked fine for me although it did take quite a while to complete the install on my iMac G5 PPC. I just waited -- everything came out fine..

10.5.6 update - wrongcoast@mac.com

mrbjclark -- I had the exact same issue as you. It hung at configuring installation, I had to do a hard restart but so far everything seems fine but I'm still at 10.5.5. Guess I'll wait and see what's what before I try again.

10.5.6 update - DavidRavenMoon

I didn't have any issues, but I have read about this before. it's not hanging, it's just taking a very long time for some systems.

10.5.6 update - loehman

Did the same thing to me - hung on "configuring installation." After an hour, I force-restarted it and it rebooted normally. It still says 10.5.5. Go figure ....

10.5.6 update - rsresq

After having this problem, I repaired permissions, then downloaded the ComboUpdater from Apple's website. It contains a package installer, which I ran and it worked fine. No problems encountered so far under 10.5.6.
