There the clerk told me that the installation had paused for whatever reason only partly done. I held the power button down to force another shutdown and biked my laptop to the Genius Bar. Being in New York, where there is a 24 hour apple store it’s easy to give up. When I restarted it never even got to the apple logo, just a grey screen.Īt this point I really gave up. Finally I gave up and held the power button to force a shutdown. The computer started getting warm after a few hours: the DVD drive seemed to be busy the entire time. I read a few other reports of this online and it seemed a lot of people had given up sooner than 3 hours and had lots of problems, so I let it go. Then it rebooted itself at hung on the apple logo start up screen for 3 hours. For about 30 mins it had a standard dialog box and progress bar, reporting that it was busy unpacking and installing. I bought the Snow Leopard DVD, inserted it, pushed start and let it go.
I had debated waiting until Lion (10.7), set to appear this summer, but while I would probably want to wait until it had stabilized in the fall and applications were already turning their backs on Leopard I decided to just give in early.

Yesterday I finally got around to updating the OS on my macbook pro from Leopard (mac os x 10.5) to Snow Leopard (mac os x 10.6).
