Q: Caution 10.11.2

My rMBP is a brick now after upgrade to 10.11.2.

 

It will start up, but no response to dock items, folder icons are generic.  Apps will not open.  Truly a brick now.

 

Caution.

    If you used the regular update from the Mac App Store, let me recommend instead downloading the combo update (osxupdcombo10.11.2.dmg) from the Apple Support Downloads (https://support.apple.com/downloads/). I never use the simple update and have avoided problems like yours for many years.

    Permissions are not dealt with in the background; they are no longer available to the user to 'fix'.



    Do you mean that a user on a multi-user system cannot run repair permission in disk doctor -- or cant change permissions on a file or folder?


    I think apple is spending a little too much time on the exterior design & 0 or not enough time on the underpinnings.


      Just discovered a problem with Snow Leopard and read only not repaired in any update - in regard to the concept if I am the owner - I am the security officer and should be able to move a read only set of folders and items anywhere I want without them going missing.

    Actually, they are - at least according to Apple:


    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201560


    they are no longer available to the user to 'fix'.

    I am aware of that and, according to Apple, no longer necessary to 'fix'.

    Then the problem has to be something to do with your user account.
