    SOLVED // Issue updating to 10.14.4

    Update seems to have been downloaded, but after clicking "Update Now" in Software update, MBP reboots fully, but the update isn't installed. Navigating back to Software update shows that 10.14.4 is still availble, and the cycle continues. Is there something I'm missing?

    Why storage icons appear when I install apps?

    That's something I'm curious about. When I install certain apps, there are "device" icons created on the desktop. I need to Eject them manually and they disappear. Why does that happen? Why would I need these "devices" for anything?
