Seeing that it’s been over 2 weeks since Security Update 2020-007 for Mojave came out I decided to take the plunge and went ahead and installed.

No issues to report. Took only 15 minutes to download and install. Had to be patient at times as it rebooted 3 or 4 times.

I will install the Safari update soon.

I’m running a MacBook Air by the way.

Thanks OscarCP and DrBonzo. It’s reassuring to know that my backup frequency is similar to yours.

Thanks for the article Alex. I will exclude the FF cache.

I guess I shouldn’t really worry about disk space. My macOS SSD is only 128GB and my backup Seagate drive is 2TB.

Thanks PKCano!!

I will uncheck “Download new updates when available.”

I will also leave “install system data files and security updates”
checked.

 

So, do I uncheck “Download new updates when available” ?

Also, “Install system data files and  security updates” is checked. Is this ok?

 

Just checking in…

Installed security update 2020-006 for Mojave without any issues.

Will install the Safari update in a day or so.

One thing I noticed in the last 2 security updates.  It seems the update was already downloaded since it went directly to “restart to install”.

 

Anyone running Mojave see the following updates:

Security update 2020-006 and Safari 14.0.1

I think I’ll wait a week or so to see if there is any fallout.

Thank you Woody for everything!

You’ve left the ship in good hands.

Enjoy your retirement….You’ve earned it!

Just installed macOS Supplemental Update 10.14.6.  So far so good.

Thanks again to all for sharing your experiences.

I took the plunge today and installed Mojave Security Update 2020-005.  Was relatively painless. No issues from what I can see.

Still waiting to install the Supplemental Update. I believe it contains the update for Safari 14.0.

Thanks to all for sharing your experience with these updates.

Thanks again DrBonzo.

I am being offered both 2020-005 (1.67GB) and the Supplemental Update (68.9MB). So I think I need both of them.

I’ll give it a few more days before I apply the updates.

Thanks for the reply DrBonzo.

Just to let you know, I too am running a macBook Air 2017.

Since I haven’t installed any updates I should be okay to install

Security update 2020-005 followed by

macOS Supplemental Update.

I usually like to install one at a time so that if something goes wrong I know which update caused the problem.

I have another question which maybe off topic but is it possible to uninstall an update if something goes wrong?

DrBonzo, I am a little confused. Did you install the Security Update 2020-005 dated 10/1/20 or just the one dated 9/24/20?

I understand you installed the macOS 10.14.6 Supplemental Update dated 10/1/20.

Thanks in advance.

Just wondering if anyone successfully installed the following Mojave patches…

Security Update 2020-005

macOS Supplemental Update

Any issues?

Can we expect a Security Update? Or just wishful thinking?
