Apple Releases Revised macOS Catalina Supplemental Update

Right? Honestly, I’m sick of people who say they have no bugs, as if their subjective experience means no one else has bugs. This drives me up the walls on this forum.

If apple released this there must be a reason. I’ll download the full 8 GB install just to get this.

that's oddly a basic perspective. im talking stale in terms of feature set, and mostly in relation to iOS.
but look, if there's a problem, i'd rather they deliver an update than hold on it because apple people have been condition to working with update droughts.

okay? it's unacceptable...so they're not accepting it and pushing the updates? what exactly would make you less irate?
If you do that the OS will never get released. There's far too many moving parts to get everything synchronized for a single release date.
Windows and to a certain extent Android have learned this lesson and decoupled application-level pieces from the core OS. Apple hasn't.
For people like you to stop taking the failures, and other's criticisms of a trillion-dollar company personally. You're offended that people are calling Apple's software development a failure, and you act like people who point out their flaws are "irate".
Internet recovery will install latest available build that is compatible with your Mac
Nothing showing yet for me. I did download last week's update, maybe this is a revision to the previous update? I'll keep checking.
Happy Monday

Whiplash.
Should I install this on my 2018 Mac mini, on which I successfully installed Catalina before Apple told everyone not to, and on which I installed last week’s supplemental update?

Do you have two iCloud accounts listed in Sys Prefs? That was my issue. Once I accepted T&C in the second account I could finish the first one and it all went away.

It's not (currently) available as an incremental update (and probably won't be) for machines that have already installed the Supplemental Update. You *could download the installer in the App Store and use that. However, it almost certainly isn't worth it. 10.15.1 is likely only a few weeks away.
However, it says that it's 10.15.1. My Mac only shows I'm currently on 10.15.Nothing showing yet for me. I did download last week's update, maybe this is a revision to the previous update? I'll keep checking.

Apple did not tell people to avoid installing Catalina on Mac minis. There was a fake document someone posted on these forums (now removed) which was the only place this claim was made.
I can't believe Team Fortress 2 has saved me from all this pain. It's the only thing really keeping me from upgrading my main iMac. If I weren't a TF2 player, I would have upgraded and suffered with all of you.
(I'm still miffed at Valve for not updating it for 64-bit though.)

New build number is 19A603 (up from 19A602 last time)
I edited my post, it's saying requested version is not found when you try to download full installer. It would just reinstall/update macOS but you wouldn't lose anything, it's just a longer way to update. They usually issue full install updates during the betas but in this case you can't even do that as it keeps saying not found.
Find me a company that releases major updates for 5 platforms on a yearly basis AND supports a wide array of new and old devices that go back to at least 2015. Oh and those devices are well integrated with each other.

I got the Supplemental Update last week (through Software Update on MBA and through App Store on iMac). Software Update now shows that I'm up to date (not showing this latest Supplemental Update) and when I click 'Get' on the App Store, it opens the Software Update pane and then I get an error saying the requested version of macOS isn't available.
You know people, it's really not a big deal if Apple releases updates every week. Look at all the other operating systems. To be honest, I would like to see constant weekly updates to macOS of varying size. (Sometimes 10.15.x updates, sometimes 10.15.x.x updates). Some apps already do this.
What really drives me nuts though, is that these supplemental updates don't have a revision number in terms of the OS version. (Obviously the build is different though.)

I'd prefer solid releases.
Updates don't necessarily mean things are good. Frequent updates definitely don't mean things are getting better fast.
These frequent updates are because things were very, very, very bad, the frequent updates were essential just to get their head above water.
There is no reason to make excuses for them. Apple is making a lot of mistakes, and their once-famous quality has taken a huge plunge. The culture in post-Jobs era has finally started to shift, and the result is, expectedly, bad. There has a been mass exodus of senior management at Apple, and very questionable hires. Unsurprisingly, this has led to poor quality. Apple is learning the hard way that you can't just do things however you want and still produce the same legendary results.
I just installed the new update on my mac and I have in my trash bin a folder called "Recovered Files" is it OK to delete?
Yes it is a big deal, because it is an indication of big problems.
Why would you assume that? Do you work for Apple? Constant updates are required on modern internet connected operating systems. Sometimes these unfortunately require major OS changes. This isn't unique to Apple. macOS, like Windows 10, is now being presented as a service. There is no final version.
in the trash bin there is a folder called "Recovered Files" so I opened it to see what is in there and I only see 1 file named com.apple.ical.plist.AscpftW is it Ok to delete this folder apparently mac os put it in the trash bin not sure why and should I reboot the mac once I delete the folder?
