[QUOTE="dadsgravy, post: 386724, member: 19086"] When you get the apple logo and the spinning gear, that means it can't find the software or the software is damaged. Something was running and causing interference and causing osx to run slow. So when you did the update and it hung at 99%, that was the moment your software gave it up. It might not have been fetch that caused this, but something was running or not running properly. In my brief stay at tech support I noticed this happened a lot on computers with windows and bootcamp. Something on the osx side always breaks down. And mackbook pros with or with out bootcamp were notorious for this problem. But this was all in a small percentage of computers sold. Don't get freaked out or anything. Apples are great. Sometimes you just have to work some bugs out. [/QUOTE]
