I'm upgrading to OS X Yosemite since 2 days ago, and the upgrade is stuck at 5.11G, knowing that the file size is 5.18G! What can I do??
Here's a pic :
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
THanks a lot! But unfortunately, nothing has really worked
Try quitting the App Store, then restarting it? See if you can resume the download. Otherwise, you will need to kill the download then restart it from scratch. You should be able to do that via your Purchases page in App Store.
I Tried, i can always resume! But when i resume it starts calculating the time remainig while stuck on 5.11G
how can I kill the download and start from scratch??? I was trying to figure this out but couldn't
Not sure myself. I've never found a way that works. You could try a force quit of App Store:
Press COMMAND-COMTROL-ESC keys together to open the task manager. Select App Store from the list then click on the Force Quit button.
You can also open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder, click on the Name header to display alphabetically, locate the process then click on the Quit icon in the toolbar then click on Force Quit button. If you can identify it, look for a download process that may still be listed. If you find one then quit it, too. I don't really know if there will be one nor how to identify it. Yes, I know I'm not much help at this point, and I apologize for my ignorance.
actually i just found that if you hold the option key (alt) the resume or pause button will change to cancel
but what is really sad that i'm almost done with the upgrade! there should be a way to not interrupt it 😟
Good for you!! I suggest that the next time you use Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi, if you were using Wi-Fi. Ethernet is much faster and more reliable.
Thanks, any idea how to setup ethernet connection on mac?! 😊
Run an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the Mac to a LAN port on the router that is connected to your cable modem. If you don't have one on the cable modem or don't have a router, then you are stuck using Wi-Fi.
nothing is really working, always getting errors,and interrupted downloads.. 😟
does this delete any purchased apps?
i guess i have to try this too, hopefully it'll work 😟
upgrading to OS X Yosemiteand is stuck at 5.11G! HELP!
