They generally work most of the time, and when something goes wrong, it was ALWAYS be explained, I guarantee this as the truth :)Īlso, I always back up my machines. Sometimes stuff happens, but these are computers, after all - not magical machines that always work. I have since installed Yosemite on both of my Macbook Pros without any problems. There are issues here and there, but please do not think that Steve Jobs was this magical all-powerful force whose passing could possibly have any effect on whether or not Yosemite is a worthwhile upgrade. I've been an iOS Developer and Apple OSX and iOS user since March of 2011 and my experience since then has only continued to improve. Steve Jobs was a great man but hardly has there been any change since he passed away. Reinstalling from there will install OS X 10.10.1 (the updated version) anyway, because it always installs the latest, assuming Apple has gotten around to putting it on their installation servers.įirst of all: don't be ridiculous. It is very unlikely that you will lose your data doing that, so fear not. In that case, boot the computer while holding Command-R and it will boot to the recovery partition.
Last possible scenario, it will not boot to OS X anymore. This time, turn off any kind of virus protection you have, if any.
#Vmware install mac os x yosemite update
In that scenario you would download the update manually and install it again. Next possible scenario, it will boot up to 10.10.0 or some freakish hybrid with part of 10.10.1 installed, but function well enough for you to boot it. Since it's stuck, the only thing you really can do is manually power the machine off.īest case scenario, when you turn it on, it will carry on installation from where it left off.
