The fact that you tried to change to the computer in the middle of the attempted download and update might possibly have confused things in some way though I think people have done that successfully. Progress bars have been known to stay at a certain point for quite a while without it meaning something is wrong but I think people have also switched to the computer in the middle and been okay. Yes, Apple does require appointments unless you can get a walk-in, which I guess you now know. What happens often, though not always, is that the person calls Apple for over-the-phone help and when they are unable to solve the problem they advise you to make an appointment with the Apple store. I think that's the way I knew an appointment was needed when I had to go in for some reason. -- Cheryl
