My niece is notorious for not doing any computer updates, virus scans or any maintenance on her computers. She claims it is way too time consuming, so she doesnt bother. But she complains about virus issues too, so go figure. Whenever she lets me use her computer, I will do an update for her and try and do a scan for virus's.
But because her system is never updated and corrupt, any attempt to do this seems to cause major problems.
I talked her into getting a Mac and she got a real expensive Mac Book Pro and I was on it today and did a software update and saw that she needed like 10 critical updates. So I did it and it took a long time and of course needed a reboot, and when it was done, the fucking thing would not come back on no matter what I did. It is like its dead.
Now, I am the asshole who broke her computer! "If you didn't touch it, it wouldn't be broke!"
She said she will bring it somewhere tomorrow to see if they can fix it, but I feel like shit, even though I seriously doubt that it was anything I did, but I believe it was related to the update and reboot. It was a strange update too, it required me to hold down the power button until if flashed and make sure it was connected with the power cord instead of the battery.
Now, if and when this gets fixed, I doubt she will ever do an update again.
Meanwhile, if you just did them once a week or whatever, it would be so much easier than ten at once!
