AskWoody PlusDecember 31, 2020 at 9:49 pm in reply to: 2000014: Ongoing List of Apple Operating System Updates #2324462Seeing 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.

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

AskWoody PlusThanks 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.

I will uncheck “Download new updates when available.”
I will also leave “install system data files and security updates”
checked. -

AskWoody PlusNovember 22, 2020 at 11:54 am in reply to: 2000014: Ongoing List of Apple Operating System Updates #2313503So, do I uncheck “Download new updates when available” ?
Also, “Install system data files and security updates” is checked. Is this ok?

AskWoody PlusNovember 21, 2020 at 9:16 pm in reply to: 2000014: Ongoing List of Apple Operating System Updates #2313335Just 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”.

AskWoody PlusNovember 14, 2020 at 9:27 pm in reply to: 2000014: Ongoing List of Apple Operating System Updates #2311952Anyone 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.

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.

AskWoody PlusOctober 10, 2020 at 11:02 pm in reply to: Safari 14.0 + Mojave 2020-005 Security Update Causing Major Problems #2303196Thanks 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.

AskWoody PlusOctober 10, 2020 at 9:08 pm in reply to: Safari 14.0 + Mojave 2020-005 Security Update Causing Major Problems #2303166Thanks 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?

AskWoody PlusOctober 9, 2020 at 9:07 pm in reply to: Safari 14.0 + Mojave 2020-005 Security Update Causing Major Problems #2302964DrBonzo, 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.
