Problems after updating to latest ML

[viperfra]

Hi,

just updated ML this morning, and it seems that's a problem.

I clicked restart after the ML update prompt me to restart my computer. Then the screen comes up with "Your computer have restarted due to a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds for the computer to restart". Then it just keep restarting and showing the same message.

Any idea whys that? It's the latest ML update as on today... should be 10.8.3

Now i can't get my Mac to start up.

It's the latest iMac late 2012 and its only barely less than 2months old. ANY HELP??

Restart > Hold and Press down "Cmd + R" until u see a spinning circle > Disk Utility > Repair Permissions. Repair Files.
Restart and try again.

i called an apple rep and fixed the problem. If anyone having any problems this is the step I've used, pretty same as the above one.

1) Hold alt-cmd-r when the comp is starting up
2) Then it will download some files (use ur WIfi), it should be downloading "Recovery" file from the internet.
3) Then you will have 4 options, choose Disk Utility
4) Choose repair your Macintosh HD, and just to be sure, repair disk permissions too.
5) It should work now.

The update has made me wary about Apple updates -.-, should i just leave it although they might be some important security updates.

Did you use the combo update or the app store update?

Therefore, always follow this guide... pretty safe and but not very straightforward.

I've used the app store update. So according to the above poster, i assume the next time round I haf to use a Combo update instead?

I thought the App Store is new installation? For updating of Mac OS, download the combo update from Apple website.
