One question – exactly what do I need to restore from TM? the full Macintosh HD? or a subset of folders / files? Should I download the Combo Updater again to ensure I have the latest version (the updater I have is called MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.3.dmg)? If this fails I will try your advice to “Restore from a recent pre-10.7.3 Time Machine backup, then install the Combo Updater” Next thing will be to re-try the Combo Installer in Safe Mode. I will leave it alone for a few more hours to see if anything happens (there has been no movement on the progress bar, but the “install time remaining” message has changed from “about 1 minute” to “about 6 minutes” and now reads “about 11 minutes” – these changes seem to happen every hour or so. Still had the same problem with the installer freezing at the point of “moving items into place”. ![]() I rebooted, and downloaded the Combo Updater (yesterday evening UK time) and ran this. The installer froze when I updated to 10.7.3 on my MBP (worked fine on my iMac). Chime in if you have any additional info. Thanks to Erik, Martin, and Apple Discussion Boards for the tips. Not the best situation, but hopefully you have recent Time Machine backups.įinally, if you’re reading this and haven’t had any problems but you’re now paranoid about the OS X 10.7.3 update, here’s all you need to do to be safe: Backup your Mac with Time Machine, download the Combo Updater and install the update manually.
