Our hardware keeps getting more powerful, and yet, Apple’s updates keep taking longer (and getting larger in download size too). The long time period in front of a black screen with no user feedback whatsoever is disturbing. I experienced the exact same updating my 2020 quad-core Intel 13' MBP. There was a black screen (with the power LED turned off!) for what I considered a disturbingly long time (probably a minute or two), but everything installed and restarted OK.

And I do think posting reports in TidBITs Talk is a good way to find workarounds.įWIW, I had no problems installing the 11.6.1 update on my 2018 Mac mini. I do not think it is a matter of Apple blocking “competing software” or wanting to hinder its users. But no: this state of affairs has existed for many years, and I will not hold my breath, nor waste it, in the hope that it will change. So yes, you are not imagining it: you are left to “fend for yourself,” and you have my sympathy. But then again, a security update is serious business, and their stance appears to be that disclosing any information about what it addresses and what is affected by installing it would give aid and comfort to the Very Bad People who spend their time trying to gain access and divert our computers for their purposes.

I agree that it would be completely helpful for Apple to tell users before an update that certain things might break if the update is installed, and thus give us a choice about whether to install it. (Well, Jobs left it behind, and Woz was frustrated by the muzzle.) What is certain is that 48 hours after revealing this bug, Apple has not communicated anything and therefore leaves its users to fend for themselves.Īt this stage, I had to give up the security update !īut on the other hand, if there is anything we have learned in the saga of Apple Inc over these many years (and my Mac use goes back even further than yours, if that’s possible!), it’s that Apple is not that communicative and responsive company, and left those qualities behind when Jobs and Wozniak moved out of the garage where they had been hand-assembling Apple I kits in the 1970s. The least Apple could do would be to inform its users : “if you install this update, some apps (A,B.C.D) will stop working”. I am running MacOS 10.15.7 on a MacBookPro Intel I also notice that more than 24 hours after my report (with the sending of a good ten crash logs), the problem is not recognized and there is no commitment to solve it… The simple truth is that the tests prior to this update were not conducted with the required rigor and efficiency.Īs a result, the affected users have to waste many hours to remove this update or abandon the tools they use… So, to continue to use these software, you must accept a higher level of risk ! This confirms that the Security Update 2021-007 of Catalina is indeed the cause of the systematic crash of Google Earth Pro…įrankly, it is annoying to see that security improvements (which are welcome) completely block the use of competing software…

Google Drive for desktop appears to work but with some new flaws.Īfter reinstalling Catalina (command-R on startup) without the Security Update 2021-007, Google Earth Pro works again!

This is the case also for Stellarium and RStudio After Security Update 2021-007 for Catalina, Google Earth Pro is crashing…
