Hi
I have just installed the latest securtiy update, clicked restart and normal shut down, start up ok, apple in middle of the screen and then the sun burst icon just spins and spins... nothing further than that. have tried restarting several times but it always stops in the same place.
Any ideas?

Thanks people. It's had a half hour to think about this now and nothing, so off to mac doctor tomorrow.

I have been doing some research and it appears this is not unusual. Anyone else having this problem should try - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1827804&tstart=0
 
If you're talking about 10.5.6, then it does take a while to restart after.

Just leave it for a few minutes. If it takes more than 10 minutes to restart, then there's probably a problem somewhere.
 
There was a known problem with the update only downloading part of the update then going ahead and installing it anyway.
