Catalina Security Update 2021-008 fixes the OpenGL bug introduced on October 25 with Catalina Security Update 2021-007.

My astronomy software is working again as should all OpenGL and WebGL software.

Hi Motla,

We see you're having an issue using a couple of apps on your Mac. Here's a resource to help with that: If you can't open an app on Mac. You also may need to reach out to the developer of the program directly to get information about compatibility issues.

Take care.

The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) is listed as vintage.

It is however also on the list of Macs compatible with Catalina.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210222

It would be really strange if 10.15.6 is the last stable release and Apple just leaves it hanging there. They'll have to list it as partially compatible with Catalina.

Yep. Broken 100% of the time after signing in.

Adobe Fusion 360 2.0.11415

macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H1519)

Mac mini (Late 2012)

2.5 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5

Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

Also broken:

1. Plex for Mac (the alternative Plex Media Player still works)
2. Bodega (ancient client for a long-gone startup but still scans local Sparkle apps for updates)
3. CARROT Weather > Settings causes a crash

I decided downgrade to Lion OS and deleted SSD for update to Mojave.

But i have HDD to (in Fusion Drive as two different drives in OS)

I Clear SSD.... and... This method deleted all data in my HDD.

Thank u Apple.

Hey, guys! Formatting the SSD helped me! 🤣

My method is very strange: in short, I completely formatted the hard drive where the system stood. I did not install it again, but deleted all the data and reinstalled Catalina!

Immediately after installation, Mac suggested that I install a security update, but we know that this is evil. I decided to check: does Google Earth and other sites work? - They're working now. This is strange because I have mac OS 10.15.7 (19H15), I decided to install Fusion 360 and lo and behold, Everything works!

Maybe it will help you too.

☝️Attention! If you have a Fusion drive, then when you erase the SSD part, it will also delete your part from the HDD! Be careful - I had to restore files because I deleted 800 GB of data :)

I believe I have the same problem. I called customer support. They couldn't tell me if 'The Engineers' were planning to fix the bug in their security update. They were unable to grant me an audience with The Engineers, as both they and I are unworthy of such an honor. The mid-2012 Macbook Pro was one of the last, (if not the last), high quality machines Apple sold that wasn't designed to []. They view supporting their older products as a loss--charity for us peasants who can't or won't buy newer products. I'm surprised it took this long for us to be sabotaged by a practically-mandatory update.

After the update a few applications won't start or close after a action.

no i do not something wrong just same action as i did before always. Even the

browser is closing now and then out of nothing. Wish i never had installed this update.

Hope you will fix it asap.

Called custumer support they even didnt know about the security update and i had to tell them the apple us website where it was on. Not the best thing from apple for me....

I have three projects I've been working on 5 days of the week for over a year, that I can't access, because Apple broke WebGL with a SECURITY UPDATE. My only option is to wipe the drive and install the previous mountain Apple appropriated. I have to wait till next month to afford an external hard drive in order to do this.

Hi there...

Yes... too bad... A lot of 3D rendering apps won't run properly with the latest security update on my Mac mini 2012:

Floorplanner, Room Arranger, Sweet Home 3D, etc will crash.

I was testing Big Sur with OCLP and 11.6.1 broke things as well.

Yes also the same problem, everything worked properly and after the update everything related to WebGL stopped working.

No web page using WebGL can open and the browser crashes.

Mac mini late 2012

macOS Catalina 10.15.7

2,5 GHz Intel Core i5

Intel HD Graphics 4000

I hope for a quick solution, as we are therefore unable to continue developing a WebGL-based project on the current mac mini.

But after renewing a yearly suscription to Autodesk Fusion 360 in october and having my computer broken today by Apple itself, I will need still some more Mindfullness sessions to keep my writing free of "floral expressions".

"yeah, we broke your mac, it was a mistake, but we will not fix it anyway so..."

Once again... The Apple Community is a group of people who participate in a website to help people use their computers. Its on the Apple site, but it's not Apple. We cannot help you with your problems with the company. None of us work for Apple.

NONE OF US KNOW what the error code you posted means.

Iam wondering how the European authorities think, maybe we do not support your device but when the software break the computer then uhm it would be a intresting case. Cause why you update a computer that you don’t support anymore. Before the update it was fine now you broke it. so apple should we do a consumer right claim in Europe guess I will Win and the company have the same case as with the updates of iPhones that makes the phone slower. So just go fix it then we all are happy. No one wants to go to court or make consumers issues.
