[QUOTE="LPPU, post: 1119373, member: 168757"] I may try that permissions thing. After it asked me twice I did run it again and it only asked me once. Then I checked for updates just now and only had to enter it once, but then again there are no new updates since I just finished updating early this morning. No idea if this would be related, but I got most of my updates off of Apple's website directly. When I was doing this my Mac was not yet up to date and was lacking 2 security updates. I noticed when I was on the Apple website the address in the address bar stayed the same while I went to several different areas of the website. Would this have been a problem, and was it a bad/unsafe idea to get updates that way on a non-updated Mac? No idea if those 2 incidents would be related or not. [/QUOTE]
