Q: OS 10.9.2 upgrade stalled

Hello

I have been trying to update to OS 10.9.2 (from 10.9.1) following a software update notice, but the upgrade froze after just a few minutes and nothing has happened for about 5 hours. How can I quit?? What can I do to restart? I'm not sure when the last backup was, so I'm very worried.

Thanks for any suggestions.

MacBookPro and Mac Pro with 30' cinema display, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

A:

Yesterday, I finally shut down my computer by holding the start button, then restarted. It took a long time to start but finally did restart in 10.9.2. This was surprising becuase the "progress bar" had never indicated any progress in installing 10.9.2. It just seemed to hang at the very beginning of the bar, as if it had a long time to go before the upgrade would be complete. Anyway, the upgrade worked...just very scary because of the warnings not to interrupt the process. All's well that ends well??

    It's now been 24 hours since I started and there has been no change in status. It is hanging at the start of the (download?) process.  How do I quit the upgrade?
