First time I’ve seen this: an iMac user had an update from Apple pushed (10.12.2) for Sierra. Well, the screen turned black after update was done and login. Mouse moved around.

Solution was to restore back to last Time Machine backup (took several hours). Other suggestions (after the fact and not going to risk) was to blindly enter pwd. It may be that Apple’s installer has a random/long time bug that wants  the user to login but the screen is black (keyboard still works, you can hear errors if you type something and hit enter). So if you get this same screen with mouse functioning, try to enter your password. It might even want your login ID and pwd.

Thanks Apple. Hope your 2017 fixes this…

Well, we approach 2017 with skepticism and critique.

Will Tim Cook be removed in 2017? Doubtful. I think Trump will face more threats than Tim.

Will we see “great desktops” forthcoming as told to Apple employees, in 2017?

See you next year!

Well Apple released 10.12 and pulled previous updaters.

Doesn’t play well with PDFs and ScanSnap from Fujitsu.

I took chance and updated. So far, not really a big deal.

Security wise, it is an upgrade and Apple seems to be moving away from fixing older bugs with new ones.

Apple’s “el capitan” update is out.

10.11.4 Combo is recommended.

Get it here. Avoid the delta. Or if your didn’t redo the combo.

Here is link.

Newsflash! Macanix domain is moving! Email may not be working. Until then:

• -Yahoo moving small biz websites to Aabaco. (Alibaba stake from Yahoo)
• -Aabaco has poor support and my site had vulnerable WP for a month. Over 30 min MINIMUM hold time. Unacceptable.
• -In the meantime. … migration to new host successful!
• -Yahoo’s switch to Aabaco  damaged my database (WordPress PHP).  I happended to find this out by accident. Lesson: export database and backup regularly!
• Finally sent email to someone and they were able to cancel my Yahoo/Lumina/Aabaco acct.
• Now hosted with inMotion…so far very good support.
