Downloaded Safari 10.0 update on iMac 2012 with 1 Tb HDD & 16Gb Ram. System rebooted & started to do the install & stalled about 2/3 of the way thru (based on the progress bar). Been sitting there for about 45 minutes. What can I do to get it moving or get out of it?
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 1Tb HDD + 16 Gb Ram
Try shutting down the computer with the power switch and then restart.
Hi bogiee,
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Community! I understand you're having trouble with updating Safari on your iMac. I use Safari daily so I can understand wanting to make sure it's working.
If your Safari update is still stuck, I recommend to try safe mode. You can restart in safe mode and then try your update again to see if it goes through. There may be an incompatible log in item that's preventing your update from going through.
Try safe mode if your Mac doesn't finish starting up
You can also try creating a test user and update Safari in the test user to see if the update goes through. This will help determine if there are any issues with third party software or a user specific issue causing your update to stall.

Take care.
Thanks Eric -- the power switch didn't work & the keyboard was inoperative, so I pulled the plug. After restart the update was completed. All is good....
You are welcome. Glad it worked to fix your problem.
Thanks norm123 for your response -- was back up & running before I saw your reply.
