Yes, I can make an exception to Apple, and at that moment I am able to run Tex Live Utility. But the next time everything starts all over again.

Howdy,

I don't understand... are you copying the TLU application to /Applications/TeX and opening it from there? Once it's copied you should be able to  eject the dmg and remove the .dmg file.

Good Luck,
