I cannot say if the Patch was a catalyst for that or it was coincidential, the truth is, I had already some issues with the hard drive and perhaps this operation was too much for it. After experiencing what I described before, disk utility being unable to repair the disk, it was obvious that everything was messed up. Xcode is apparently not saved in the time machine data, because all of a sudden it's not installed, so I cannot apply the patch by now. I'll report if anything unusual happens after setting this up again. For more hints the machine is a 2011 Macbook pro running Lion...dorothy_khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057931619878817118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2568113608478806301.post-55054705276490786492014-09-29T07:12:57.664-04:002014-09-29T07:12:57.664-04:00Hello,

Let's attempt to find a solution: <br />1) what's your OS and machine? <br />2) have you installed something else? <br />3) have you tried to re-install the patch? just in case something went wrong? <br />4) " it will enter some kind of empty desktop called "software update" instead of "finder" >> WUT? <br />5) " Must force-shutdown and updates are never made " WUT #2? <br />6) I can't install any updates either. >> Updates are made via App Store or Via Software Update. What updates are talking about? <br />7) " Can I revert this?

Do you have any idea why? Can I revert this? check something? I can't install any updates either, while restarting, it will enter some kind of empty desktop called "software update" instead of "finder" and remain there forever. Must force-shutdown and updates are never made.
