Q: Yosemite update hanging at 50%

I have a Mid 2011 i-Mac, and yesterday I noticed that there was an update available in the App Store.

I proceeded to try and instal the update. After over an hour, I noticed that the update was  hanging at about 50% on the progress bar.

Hours later it was still hanging, so looked on the net (on my i-pad) to see if anyone had similar problems. (It was obvious that I was not alone).

On the site 1 x person had offered a possible remedy that he said worked for him, which was to;

Hold power button off for 10 secs to turn computer off

Wait about 10 secs, then turn computer back on again while holding down 'Command' and 'R' buttons

(This process takes about 2-3 minutes to boot)

Then it says to turn off WIFI at symbol on upper right of screen.

Next it says to select Restart from the System Menu option.

This then rebooted and finished the upgrade for this person.

 

Unfortunately it did not work for me!

Each time I try to reboot the same thing happens (it hangs once reaching about 50% progress.

Please can anyone offer a solution that works

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
