  1. Hi there, I'm really sorry that it causes so much anxiety for you. I really feel for you and I guess everyone that has hearing loss/tinnitus will go through that stage. In my case the tinnitus started six years ago when I was suffering from a severe burnout. At that time I was doing music production courses for media composition. It freaked me out, just like you. I did a hearing test and all was then (still) fine. I went to a physical therapist to see if it had a mechanical cause. It didn't. My GP doctor told me I had to learn to live with it. Well that took a while. There's already a lot of advise offered in the comments. But accepting that it's there and that it's phantom noise really helped me. Increased stress levels means increased tinnitus for me too. So I really had to take care of myself, which doesn't come naturally for me. Since I started meditating I seem to become a little better in accepting things I cannot change. It did however stop me from pursuing my musical dreams and I wish I hadn't done that. You can never know what the future hold. So it's better to pursue your dreams now, than rather wait until things get worse... if they do at all. So pursue your dreams and continue (speaking to myself too here). Take care, Erik
  2. Thanks for explaining that Sascha. I've never had a power outage like that, but I get your concern. My brother is also more into cloning a disk vs TM. I probably should listen... Concerning the update: I did a manual install like Sascha recommended in one of the posts above. I have rebooted multiple times and it seems to work now. Pfeww, and off to music making again
  3. I'm so sorry to hear that. I was lucky enough that my TM backup was sufficient to get me running again. Thanks Sascha for this tip. I was aware of the other 2 tips, but this one I somehow forgot about. You also mention that you need a stable system to to a TM recovery. But isn't that what the recovery startup mode is for? But a clone is probably better than the incremental backup, although I've never needed that to safe me... fingers crossed.
  4. Yeah, but that annoying red dot in the App Store icon is calling me: update, update, update....after a week I just couldn't resist.
  5. I've never encountered an update like this and I've been an Apple user since 2010. I'm really hesitant to reinstall the update even though you've managed to fix it. I'm in the middle of a music course, but it's never a convenient moment for things like this. I'm glad it seemed to work for you.
  6. A heads-up if you're on 10.13.6 like me: Security Update 2018-003 10.13.6 broke my system. It came out around he same time the Logic update did. Installing seemed to go correctly. But after a (re)boot my system kept hanging and rebooted into the OSX installation screen with a n error dump. I had to put back my TM backup to get my system up and running again. I've searched around and I'm not the only one.
  7. Hadn't thought of that. Anyone experiencing weird stuff after the update?
  8. Yeah, I hear you. It would be nice to hear from them what went wrong, instead of suddenly make it work again.
  9. I had the same update experience. The library sound manager showed a download of more than 12GB, but only a file of 33MB was downloaded. My guess is that they pushed an update for the update (haha) to fix it.
  10. Try again to update when you get the notification. For me and several others this problems has been fixed now.
  11. At least I'm glad that I'm not the only one. I've ran the 10.4.2 update for a while now with no issues.
