Hi Pete,
Whilst it is not unknown for these things to get “hung up” I have also found Apple “minutes’ in their progress bars to be VERY inaccurate/unreliable – it seems that “minutes” sometimes do take “hours”. If it were me I would give it the benefit of the doubt for a few more hours…… At least you have power – ours was out for over 10 hours – restored a few minutes ago, fingers crossed ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

It is a 2014 - 512GB/8GB/i7 MBA. It was supplied ‘clean’ with an Admin account and running Yosemite. I reviewed Ronni’s previously provided upgrade to HS document and the requirements in there are relevant for where an existing machine with data is being upgraded. I connected it to the WiFi network and also plugged in Thunderbolt to Ethernet for fast reliable download for the update. I went to the App Store and selected the Upgrade and then Install option. After a short while during the Install phase, the progress bar reached ~60% and screen said “Installing, 28 minutes remaining”. That was about 3 hours ago. For the moment I am leaving it alone to itself in case it self resolves but it appears stuck. Some searching over the Apple support forum indicates this is not a unique experience. Many users have had this and have had to interrupt and then boot in Recovery mode but many not successful in progressing. Having gone through the experience with Tim’s MBP failing, I am a little shy to do anything just now. Has anyone had this and a known ‘fix’ for this glitch? My experience with HS has been without fault on my MBP Retina so I am surprised by this otherwise clean record in my experience.
