But, I didn't.įortunately, I did have a recent Time Machine backup, which I had made shortly after the OS X update. My first clue should have been that the system required my administrative credentials to proceed with the deletion, and I should have stopped there. However, I must admit that in my particular situation, the "problem" was actually with me.Īfter installing the 10.8.5 update, I notice a file in the Macintosh HD folder named "mach_kernel", which I had not seen before, and I assumed it could be deleted without causing any adverse effects to my computer. I agree with you about the "problem" being connected to a recent OS X update, in some way.

And, I wanted to share with you and the Support Community in hopes that someone else will benefit too.

When you wrote that, "something may have gone wrong with the supplemental update", you caused me to reflect back on something I did (just yesterday), before attempting to update my Microsoft Office product today. You helped me come to a quick and painless resolution to my problem. I just wanted to thank you for your posts to this forum. In case you want to read up on OS X Recovery This tends to fix any issues there may have been in the installed OS's core structure due to whatever reasons.

You are not formatting your system, but are simply re-installing OS X on top of the current installation. Since OS X is already installed, the system should pick that up and all it does is re-install OS X over the current installation without making any changes to your personal files, applications, etc.etc.

Once the re-installation finishes, the system should reboot automatically.

Since I have TimeMachine setup, I backed up my system.

*** Backup your system before you do this *** All I did was re-install OS X on top my current installation from withing the "Recovery" mode. I did not recever from any backup at all. Somewhere, while installation of this suplemental update to 10.8.5 something may have gone wrong which caused this issue. After looking at few more things, I have a strong suspicion that this issue may have been caused by the last suplimental update to 10.8.5. I will be calling Apple support later today and will post updates. I also ran into this on the web looking for a resolution to this issue where someone contacted Microsoft and they were told to contact Apple.

I've tried to install this update (v.14.3.8) via Microsoft Office's built-in "Auto Updater" as well as directly downloading the file and installing it. When trying to update my current version of Office for Mac 2011 (v.14.3.7) to this update I kept getting the following message before even the installation starts: Microsoft released an update (v.14.3.8) for Office for Mac 2011 on. This seems to be caused by either the last supplemental update to OS X (10.8.5) or the firmware update.
