OS X Yosemite Installation Stuck Fix

If Your OS X Yosemite Installation Stuck at Minutes Remaining, You Should Check the Log and Fix It Accordingly. Read This Guide To Get Helped. Keep in mind, this fix or troubleshooting requires some knowledge about UNIX or Unix Like OS, if you do not have the grasp on UNIX, you should always take the help of Apple. Improper shutdown can kill your hard disk (specially the old spinning hard disks).

 

OS X Yosemite Installation Stuck Fix

 

We have 2 Macbook Pro 15″ and 3 Mac Pro. Only one MacBook Pro of mid 2012 faced this issue at last step of installation. Basically, this only MacBook Pro mid 2012 also took update rightly – the message shown was wrong – instead of the possible right output of the users file getting moved, it was showing “One Minute Remaining”.

The specific MacBook Pro has iTerm, Homebrew and ZSH installed with Mercurial, Git, various versions Ruby and whatever we publish on this blog!

OS X Yosemite Installation Stuck Fix From Our Experience

 

Except a call girl, none should be able to describe how different types of males behave on bed! We had issue with only one Mac. You’ll need a “call girl” type person to hear different kind of experiences. We had no third party hardware installed except the fact – we use Reliance 3G USB Modem (India). It has a pathetically incompatible software. Possibly they last updated in PowerPC age.

First, if you hover over the top area on the installation screen (which shows 22 minutes, 33 minutes remaining), you’ll get the Finder bar giving you options like “Shut Down”, “Reboot”, “Select Boot Disk”, “About This OS X Installer” and many other options.

If you have psychological problem like me, you can restart from the menu. If the restart freshly initiates the upgrade process – it is definite that, the first two steps for the upgrade process went fine. In fact, the menu will take the GUI of OS X Yosemite if you already crossed over 50% installation.

Now, click the menu and find the Error Log or hit command + L keys. A window with errors will appear. There is a dropdown option on the left top corner – select Errors and Progress. It is kind of command line output. You need not to view the minutes remaining, you will watch the progress. Basically the script moves files exactly one by one – if you have lot of developmental tools installed, it will take a huge time, despite the GUI will show “About One Minute Remaining”. You will see that, files are getting moved. The output has comments by the developers.

Corrupted downloads are rare – if you have downloaded yourself on your Mac. Even with interruptions like getting disconnected, again typing the password to complete the download – actually UNIX or Unix like OS will not suffer much from such interruptions. This is a part from our installation log :

Nov 10 14:54:29 localhost Unknown[392]: 2014-11-10 14:54 OS X Installer[405] (FSEvents.framework) FSEventStreamStart: ERROR: FSEvents_connect() => Unknown service name (1102)
Nov 10 14:54:29 localhost OSInstaller[405]: Connection to sharingd became invalid
Nov 10 14:54:29 localhost OSInstaller[405]: Connection to sharingd became invalid
Nov 10 14:54:30 localhost OSInstaller[405]: Folder Manager is being asked to create a folder (docs) while running as uid 0

sharingd means Sharing Daemon. OS X probably does not kill all the daemons, they basically runs in background. The machine becomes super hot (keep it cooler by keeping in chilled air-conditioned room). As the body is metal, if one part becomes very cold, the hot part slowly become warm from hot. As the processor is hugely working, at higher temperature, it will halt (otherwise your Mac’s processor will catch fire). Cooling itself can decrease the time. You’ll get option to save the log files, like we did. You’ll get the save option, by default it will show the location root to save. As you do not belong to UNIX Wheel group, you will not able to access it later. Select the “Mackintosh HD” from the dropdown. Your root is / on Terminal or iTerm2 after the upgrade. You can open the log later in the Console Application. Apple developers scripted in a way, it is unlikely that you’ll ever face True OS X Yosemite Installation Stuck.

If you keep the Error Log and Progress Window Open, you’ll notice what is going on. It is not a datacenter, that we can use free cooling methods, we have to keep the air ice chilled to cool the processor.
