    Oh, great! I’m working in Keynote & my Mac just shuts down. I frantically check if it ran out of juice (was the plug not on?) Nope, it starts back up. Now I’m stuck in an endless loop of “The macOS installation cannot be completed” FML. Not like I have a talk to give tomorrow.

        *Phew!* Right, did a disk repair and restarted and it seems to have booted up fine now. Also, just backed up my keynote to my USB drive so nothing’s going to stop this talk tomorrow (cue: falling grand piano) :)

        Crap! Don’t tell me that! :) Would basically kill tomorrow’s talk. Did you find out what caused it?

        Just managed to recover from it by running “first aid” in the disk tool (https://twitter.com/aral/status/985898624096849920 …) Very shoddy work on behalf of the updater. Fingers crossed it doesn’t flake out before/during my talk.

        Fwiw I had the same happen to me but the installer file was corrupt. Force booting from primary OS (instead of installer partition) fixed the bootloop

        Hmm, maybe that’s what fixed it. I did Option-start and pick the HD.

        Two. One Windows, and one Linux laptop. Any more and TSA start making things awkward.

        Same problem, lack of disk space was the issue. Managed to find a way back to the desktop, freed up space and reinstalled the update
