why wont it restart? is it frozen?
make sure that all your applications are quit and that you have not minimized your update windows telling you to restart after your update?
check out activity monitor make sure everything isnt frozen, or you can command-option-esc
um, worse comes to worse you can accidentally unplug it, or hold down your power button until it shuts off

Ok I held the power button down, shut it off, then turned it back on. Is this bad for the computer?

No, this is the same way as going into a menu and then turn it off! It does not do anything to the Mac.

Pressing the powerbutton briefly and selecting shutdown is the same as selecting it from the menu.
