Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
You should then be able to install the 10.7.4 update - OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo).
Do any of you use disk encryption? I would not put it forward as the definitive solution, but it was mentioned in this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3939583?start=15&tstart=0
No disk encryption used in my case
I also do not use disk encryption.
Same result. Mac reboot after update, showing swirling sign, then shut down
What happen? How can I solcve this problem
Help please\
actually i am glad, that i am not the only one with this problem.
there are quite a few posts regarding problems with 10.7.4 (for example with smc-errors).
i first thought it is faulty ram.
but now don't think so anymore.
looks like a bigger problem with 10.7.4
Cannot even boot into safe boot this time. Must restore from Time Machi9ne again and just stick to 10.7.3 until this bug this fixed!!!!
Why Apple is so shoddy with the release? It's getting closer and closer to Microsoft!!!
OK have boot into safe boot. Have tried to remove Underecover but still my Macbook Pro won't boot up
SO Undercover is not the culprit
Help please
Tod1212 there is nothing to be glad about here. Apple just waste our valuable time
just meant software glitch is better than hardware fault.
but you are right:
why in the world don't they do long enough beta testing??
remember the chaos with the first delta update of 10.7.3
they screwed up two point updates in a row!!!
Now restoring from Time Machi9ne back to 10.7.3 for the second time.
I will have to wait for Apple to fix thius bug before upgrading to 10.7.4
Don't know whether Aooke will know that we are having trouble and fix it ort not. May be we are minority that have trouble and Apple may not care
When the problem occurs I use Software Update to get 10.7.4.
-
With HD recovery i re-install Lion, after 3 hours all is OK (directtly on 10.7.4) - i just need apply some other update (via Software Update : iTunes, Java...).
I lose nothing except my firewall setting and i can't get back the colorfull sidebar during a session.
I thing it must be nice to always use the combo update rather the Software Update for a OS update !
Hmm... Strange... I have OS X Lion (standard), and it downloading 10.7.4 update as 738 MB file. But 738 MB is for OS X Lion SERVER as I know!!
For standard OS X Lion update file must be 692 MB! Is OS X update service installing wrong update package - for Server ver.?
The 10.7.4 delta update is 693 MB. Ant its name is MacOSXUpd10.7.4.dmg
I have applied the right update file but my Mac won't boot up after successful update and reboot
It just boot into safe boot
And I'm now restoring from Time Machine back to 10.7.3 for the second times today
I'm wasting thw whole day for this ****!!!
maybe this is a problem with changes in the applesmc.kext?
soem users are reporting smc-errors in konsole.
look here:
Did you install FIPS (https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1518)? It was causing my Mac Pro to shutdown on boot.
Try removing it by deleting:
/usr/sbin/fips
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.fipspost.plist
After 10.7.4 update my macbook pro doesn't boot
