For the TeX Live Utility, I have UNchecked "Install updates for all 
users". I believe I did that following advice on this list (from you?) a 
couple weeks ago.

Note that I am the only user on this Mac (and my account is an admin 
account).

That utility, as well as the command " sudo tlmgr update --all" seem to 
work OK. In fact, I ran the latter a bit earlier today, and the log 
shows at its end:

   done running mktexlsr.
   running mtxrun --generate ...
   done running mtxrun --generate.
   running updmap-sys --nomkmap --nohash --enable Map=mathpple.map ...
   done running updmap-sys --nomkmap --nohash --enable Map=mathpple.map.
   running updmap-sys ...
   done running updmap-sys.
