(Since remedy was to drag to the desktop, then to the Applications folder, I thought that might make some difference, but it does not. The latest update installed correctly following the procedure in the Guide, exactly as it does when the disk image is downloaded to the desktop. But as an experiment, I just downloaded to the Downloads folder. Is there any chance you accidentally did this? The closest I can get to replicating this problem is as I described in Post #2 of this topic: dragging the entire, opened disk image rather than the Manager application to the Applications folder. I’ve already done it dozens of times on Mojave alone. I think I can fairly say I have probably updated Manager on a Mac more than any other user in my role as forum moderator. The macOS Mojave 10.14.1 update improves the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac, and is recommended for all users. With previous versions of macOS I used the createinstallmedia command without any problems. Therefore, I need an 'offline' installer.
My explanation to you is no different than the one I gave to This has to be something you’ve done on your Mac. I just want to install macOS Mojave (10.14) on one of my Macs without an internet connection. Well, you are the second person in history to report this problem. I suggest downloading again and installing the latest version. If you create an alias of the bundle, it will be named Manager alias and look like this: When you drag it into the Applications folder, it looks like this:Īnd the software bundle that contains it (which is what you are actually dragging to the Applications folder) is also named just plain Manager. (In macOS terminology, these are aliases, not shortcuts.) There is nothing in the entire Manager disc image named Manager App. One thing that caught my eye was your statement about seeing “Manager App” with what you called a “shortcut” arrow in your Applications folder. This is something you are doing (or have done) with your Mac. In neither case, if I install correctly, can I reproduce what you see. I have personally downloaded and updated twice since you posted your original message, one to 18.10.96 and again to 18.11.1.
