I wanted to install the security update and a safari update on my MacBookPro.
It restarted and now, for the past hour, I have nothing but the grey screen and the thing twirling underneath.

What can I do to get out of this?
Will anything dramatic happen if I simply shut down the computer?

Well. I just ran this update and immediately after restarting found that my Bluetooth has totally disappeared. No more icon in System prefs.! In "About this Mac" in "more info" under hardware > Bluetooth it just says "No Information Found"! Spotlight can't find it anymore... I also ran the Bluetooth Firmware2.0 update a few days ago but that caused no problem in itself. Any ideas?? Thanks

Update: miraculously, Bluetooth is now working again, but I did nothing in particular. It's showing up everywhere again, System Profiler, in Sharing menu, in menu bar - but the icon in System Prefs is still missing!. Although, the later is greyed out and now says "Bluetooth: Not Available" - even though I'm using the Apple wireless keyboard to type this!!

Looks like I tooted my horn a little too early. After another restart connect 360 is working just fine like it used to. I have my external media drive connected to the macbook pro being shared through connect360 to the xbox 360 on the tv.

I don't know why it didn't want to work after the update yesterday. All is good now though, streaming like usual. No network hiccups or anything.

How come I never get the updates at the same time? Are they published with a delay in France to spare the servers from being overwhelmed? I checked for updates right now, and I don't get anything. I haven't even got the Safari 4.0.3 update yet!

The X.4 Server update is pretty big, something like 120mb... The X.5 Server is about 10mb.

Has anyone noticed that this affects Connect360? Seems like it doesn't want to work properly now that I have updated. Rivet works fine, aside from the lag you get if you are doing anything else on the network.
