After security update 2021-007 for catalina MAMP isn't working, Graphics kernel error: 0xfffffffb

BTW: Here's the list of Apples 'vintage' and 'obsolete' products: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624

I'm afraid the MacbookPro Mid 2012 has the status 'obsolete' even if it was produced until Oct.2016... that's not very nice indeed.

The MacBookPro 13-inch mid 2012 isn't list as vintage nor obsolete...

That's formally right, but AFAIK there's no "MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012)".

Isn't that a typo and it should read "MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2012)"?

I'm not very familiar with the product history of the MacBookPro, but here I was unsure...

"in safe mode copy to /System/Library/Extensions you must disable system integrity protection"

Ok, i tried this before, but the OS was instable and very slow...

Could you be more precise ?

First : disable SIP...

Then : extract IntelHD4000 files from SecUpd 2021_006 Catalina dmg ?

Could you list these files precisely ?

I found basically four groups of files associated with IntelHD4000...

Did you copy only theses files ?

See screenshot

Because there are much more Appel Intel Graphic files around...

Then : boot your mac in Safe mode (Press Shift on restart after chime)

Then : copy these files to /System/Library/Extensions

Then : reboot (command - R)

Then : enable SIP protection...

Then : reboot into normal mode with SIP enabled

Yes. It was in production for nearly 4 and a half years, discontinued Oct 2016. According to MacTracker it is still supported. Apple not listed it as vintage or obsolete. Apple claims it is compatible with Catalina. Apple needs to fix this.

Forgoing security updates on a system less than 5 years old when Apple claims it is compatible with the OS is totally not an acceptable work around. When Catalina is no longer receiving security updates, then I can understand it, but these Macs are officially compatible according to Apple.

That they were being manufactured in Oct 2016 and in my case sold Nov 25, less than 5 years before the bug was introduced on Oct 25, 2021, only strengthens the case for Apple to fix the bug.

interesting. how does it work? it says it lets you switch graphics cards. does it mean let’s you spoof your graphics card or do you have to have more than one type? how does it work?

edit: i’m sorry. i didn’t see the more button. only saw your first paragraph before i left a comment. thank you!

I opened a ticket on Apple's Feedback Assistant tool, almost a month ago, but they've never replied. I'm not sure if they're even planning another update to Catalina since it's an old OS, unless they discover some more serious security issues.

BTW, this has nothing to do with the Mac Mini 2012 being vintage hardware. if they say Catalina supports Mac Mini 2012 then it should work flawlessly on the system. It's really not up to Apple's standards to deliver faulty OS updates and get away with it by claiming it's for vintage hardware. I'm very disappointed - this is not why I buy Apple products.

I totally agree!

Woohoo.

I'm continuing to upgrade and migrate my newer used Mac mini 2014 (MGEQ2LL/A) as my main home Mac. 16 GiB + 2 TiB SSD + 4 TiB HDD, and currently updating to Monterey 12.1.

Now, if I can find an internal or external WiFi 6/6e solution. It might have to be Ethernet-based because I doubt swapping with an Airport Extreme card from an M1-based system would have Intel kexts anywhere.

My 2012 mini will make a fine spare computer that will see use.

Sorry - found 007 further down in the list. Only Update 005 is not listed.

"Hmm... I did so, but now the Update 007 is (no longer?) listed in the "Installations"-List. Update 005 + 007 were skipped somehow it seems."

That list is a record of things installed by the user or auto installed by Software Update. You might try sorting the list alphabetically by clicking the “Software Name” column, then look again.

The above is a screen capture of my system.

My understanding is SecUpdate are cumulative. If you install only 2021-008, you have inside all the benefits from 001 to the last one. So it may not be a good idea to install manually 2021-007 after 2021-008...

I have experience the same issue with Google Earth Pro.

Same problem here. Pioneer Rekordbox crashes a few seconds after opening.

I'm having the exact same problem, fix required!
