That's very kind of you, thanks a lot, I'll have a look at it now...

That did the business, thanks. As soon as I rebooted after tweaking some of the update parameters - voila! no more update pane. Whoopee! Hat off to you sir... thank you - and Pastrychef whose suggestion was good but bumped into the ring-pass-not of my own lack of competence.

Couldn't find the IP address.

Thanks for the pointer. Can't delete Apple Pref Panes though - tried several times. Yet more control freakery I suppose. Can't stop it, can't delete it, can't do nuffing. Great - Uncle Timmy looking after us poor mortals who don't know any better. It feels like the 1980's are back with all their...

CPU Updated. No have GPU

I am running Mojave 10.14.2, and I have no wish to upgrade past this - even if the combo update to 1.1.4.6 works, which it doesn't for me, it hangs every time. In the meantime, the System Preferences Pane for software update is becoming seriously tedious. I can't run System Preferences at all...

Indeed it was SIP. Perhaps I should have said SIP not CSR, truth to tell I forgot what is was and had to refer to my config.plist. What happens when you get to be old I s'pose. Don't agree. Lots of his stuff was pretty but useless, but I think his contribution to Apple product design is...

Can't/don't/won't disagree here, but I can't see how you square the circle of not attacking Hackintosh and the impending change in underlying OS. I certainly don't think they learn very much from sites like this one. Opinions are like bottoms - everyone's got one. Personally I think Apple...

Sensible comments once the underlying animus is removed. I have a high regard for your comments generally, and you've certainly been a big help to me on a few occasions, more so than most. Not this one though. I don't resent new versions of Macos, I resent the baubles that Apple seem to think...

Thanks for the thoughts, my own experience is heading that way. I really do resent the behaviour of Apple on so many levels, quality and general release bugginess are the 2 major bugbears for me. But wait. New versions of everything.. featuring.. new emojis. Good grief. Oh puhlease. So far as...

FWIW, In general, I'm not a lover of Apple - I think SJ was an icehole, and Tim Cook, well, he seems to me to be like SJ but without the talent - the rest of the crowd are time-servers whose primary occupation appears to be the accumulation of face. This is all psychologically understandable but...

After a couple of abortive tries to use apfs from an upgrade, I converted all SSD partitions to apfs recently, and discovered that: 1. There don't appear to be any downsides, though my own needs don't run to the very technical and I haven't had to do any disk repairs. 2. Copying appears to be...

That's very civil of you, and extremely helpful. Thanks.

As far as you are aware Mr Pastrychef, is there a simple (for me) list of things to do with Hackintool? Something along the lines of 'do this, save that to here' etc. I tried to understand the instructions relating to creating an SSDT file but I'm old and feeble, that sort of thing. Unless...

Cheers, I'll give it a shot - couldn't hurt eh?
