iMac stuck at restart during update

[Stardust747]

This computer has been having an issue where frequently when I log out, shut down, or restart the top menu bar and desktop items disappear, but the mouse works and the bottom bar pops up if I move the mouse there. It did that now when it tried to restart during an update. What should I do, press the button to shut it manually like I usually do? Will that hurt it since it was starting an update?

What happened? Did you shut it down manually?

Yes, it was before any installing started so it was fine. Hopefully the update fixed that problem.

Yeah, I had a similar issue in my MBP. As I tried to turn it off, the computer wouldn't do anything. I could even keep on working fine until past half an hour when it finally started the turn off process.

The problem went away magically; probably an automatic patch update.
