This Solve my OTA Update Problem.

Thank You very much

ditto for me on a mcbookpro w. 8gb -- i'm currently using my thunderbolt port for an additional monitor -- are you using your thunderbolt port or is the problem independent of port usage? i'm just taking my macbook pro in to the local apple store -- i assume they have been alerted to the issue -- and the oncoming deluge of help calls

That's great! I'm still at work, I started updates after the re-install last night so I need to go home and finish. I heard from another discussion that apple has pulled the Thunderbold Update so no one else should be having this issue anymore. Next time I'll wait a few days after an update has been published by apple.

sorry for bothering you, but i have problems managing to replace volumes with the ones after the mount it says no such file or directory, maybe i'm doing it wrong pls help me i'm desperate...

sorry to bother you but i have problem with:

7. Type in

/Volumes/Internal\ HDD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.7.4\ Combined\ UpdatePAckageName.pkg -target /Volumes/Internal\ HDD

NOTE: You will replace the values with whatever the DMG file was mounted on and at the end - most likely you will have /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD (this is your main drive).

i get no such file or directory... maybe i'm doing it wrong PLS hlp....

look at sitting elf's reply - thats the only cure. reinstall lion (which takes about 2 hrs) and dont redo the updat until apple fixs it. READ SITTING ELF'S!

yep that seems to be only way( so far) without loosing apps and data..... thnx

Djogon, I read your solution. I haven't tried it yet because I am not familiar with the Terminal Utilities commands such as /Volumes/DVD-OR-EXTERNAL-DRIVE-WHERE-DMG-IS (can you give an example in your case). Pardon me as I am not a tech guy. Nevertheless, I will download the file and try your solution after I have tried the earlier option doesn't work.

Thanks for the suggestion

@Lieu Ann Yow

type /Volumes/the mame of your driver where you have copied the update

for example.

if burned on a DVD you will have to put the name of the DVD

/Volumes/DVDMacUpdate

Or the name of you external driver

/Volumes/LieuAnnYowUSB

Thanks gkadjo,

I am currently trying to download the package. Once it is downloaded I would try the solution and share the outcome with everyone in this thread

And me! MacBook Pro 13 early 2011

/Volumes/Internal\ HDD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.7.4\ Combined\ UpdatePAckageName.pkg -target /Volumes/Internal\ HDD

Pls help me. Give me an example for this... I have already downloaded lion 10.7.4 combo update in my 4 gb flash usb.i already follow the steps 1-6. But in number 7 steps i dont know how.please.a BIG THANKS

Success did a 'repair disk' then able to reinstall lion - it took about 2 hours🙂

Hi Gkadjo,

I discovered that my Mac setup was a bit different. Here's my setup:

- I bought the MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. Later through software update, I upgraded to OS Lion

After the thunderbolt update problem, I tried to use your solution by updating the patch via terminal but couldn't get it work. I mentioned in earlier post in page 2 regarding this

No choice but I have to adopt BWGS solution to reinstall the Mac OS from the installation disc came with the MacBook Pro. The installation completed and I can get into the system.

However, I found that many applications that got updated when installed the OS Lion don't work anymore eg iTunes, Safari, iCal, iPhoto etc. An error pop up saying the application doesn't work with this version of the OS. I think during the installaiton of OS Lion, the application files had been updated to work with higher OS version already.

What should i do now? Upgrade the OS to Lion or delete the application and download the version compatible with 10.6.8 again? Please advice. Thanks.
