OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard install hickup
I’ve installed 10.5.6 as an upgrade on my MacBook Pro, and during the process I encountered one particular hickup that might distress a good number of people. About 5 minutes in to the upgrade, the screen went blank and the computer became unresponsive. The power was still on, and I could feel the faint vibration of the DVD spinning in the optical drive. Thinking that it may have been a result of power-saving features affecting the process, I tapped the space-bar and the touch-pad button, to no effect. I drank coffee and camped down, eventually giving up on my role as a spectator to the process some 20 minutes later.
So, I left it where it was on the office desk, and went home for the weekend. When I came back in to the office this morning…. my good ol’ lappy was all ready and rearing to go. It functions perfectly, and if I hadn’t checked the version number I might not even have known that it was 10.6 and not 10.5.
So, for those folks at home hell bent on watching the whole process…. be patient! Go outside and play with the kids for a few hours
