#133996 — Apple has just released macOS Catalina 10.15.6 Supplemental Update,

Apple claims it fixes the memory leak which could occur with 
virtualisation, and resolves an issue in which iMac Retina 5K 27-inch 
2020 displays could appear washed out when waking from sleep. The update 
is over 3 GB.

Thanks! A couple days ago I was talking about the need for this. Good to
see Apple got there.

I've now downloaded and installed the update.

All seems to be working just fine!

There are different views on update matters! ;-)

Hopefully, you also make back ups?

Oh yeah. I'm a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy when it comes to my data. 
That was especially true for the 25 years I ran a one-man consulting 
business full time from a home office.

I made two separate daily Time Machine backups (one kept in a data 
safe). I also kept an off-site TM backup in my bank safe deposit box 
that I rotated at least twice monthly. The vault lady and I were on a 
first name basis. I think she soon tired of seeing me so often though. 
I'd bring a box of donuts for the staff once in a while.

My brother (a Mac owner since '85) has complained about this
recently. He said that he has become gun-shy about updates to Mac OS
since High Sierra, and especially with Mojave and Catalina.

It does seem kind of strange to me that people are posting, "I updated
my Mac and it's working fine!" as if that is an uncommon thing.

I've had pretty good luck with Sierra -> High Sierra -> Mojave ->
Catalina. They did break PDF rendering with HS and Mojave and it's at
least improved enough with Catalina that I no longer have to use (yuck)
Acrobat Reader.

There is one piece of software that I lost the use of with Catalina, but
that was because the developer didn't update it.

It does still seem strange to me that my computer is unusable for a half
hour or so every time I have to apply an OS update. It's better than the
sucky way Windows does it, but I haven't run Windows as a daily driver
in years so Windows updates are things that happen to other people. :-)

No I don't think so - I think it is because otherwise all you see is 
"Catalina hosed my Mac" (or whatever). Seeing positive results is helpful.

MacOS updates are really rather slower than I feel they should be, given 
everything's happening on SSDs.

3 GB update? Wow.

Took a surprisingly long time both to download (mind you, Anne and I were
doing it simultaneously on a 37 Mb/s connection) and to instal. We were able
to wash and wipe up after breakfast during the install time.

All well, except that it broke the software that drives the scanner on our
Canon TS510 3-in-one. I know this because I had to reinstall it yesterday to
use it and today I checked and it's duff again. We use the scanner only
rarely, but it's irritating to find it's not available when we do.

I'm not blaming the Catalina upgrade, I'm blaming Canon for using software
that needs reinstalling after every system upgrade. See the sig.

FYI, John, I found an App in the *iPHONE* Apple App store which allows 
me to scan from my iPhone instead of using the controls on my Canon 
MG5350 or on my iMac.

It's called 'Canon PRINT' - it's free, and it works!

Do you really need Canon's drivers? See if you can configure it as an 
AirPrint printer and scanner. I managed to do this with my newish HP 
Officejet, and it is perfectly functional despite not having any HP 
drivers on my Catalina system.

I'll look into that.

At present, the installer is telling me that it can't find the TS5051 and when
I say "It''s THAT one!" using the IP address, it says it's in use by another
device - presumably Anne's iMac. I'll pursue that tomorrow.

Drivers now successfully installed. I prefer to use the Canon software, as
I've got it all set up to suit my needs and I'm used to it.
