By the way.....

This is likely the last update to Mojave, so be sure to make an installer and keep it in a safe place. No more 32 bit apps after Mojave!

Good idea Charlie.

I had an issue getting the update. I have the late 2012 iMac partitioned in 2. When I went to the Mojave to update it, it wanted to update to the Beta of Catalina due to the machine registered in the Beta program. Just below that was the Mojave update so I clicked on that.

I always keep an installer in my Applications folder. I've noticed after every update, my installer is removed from my Applications folder. So I always download the newest version from the macOS App Store.

That's a good procedure to follow. Most folks do not realize that the installer will be removed from your Apps folder after each update download.

macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Supplemental Update just became available:
“The supplemental system software update apparently includes a bug fix to resolve an issue where some Macs were not waking from sleep properly, therefore it is recommended for all MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 users to install.”

@Rod:

Please read thru the already posted thread same subject before posting a dupe. We posted that info some time ago:

Apple releases macOS 10.14.6 Supplemental Update to fix sleeping Macs

Thanks.

Oops, duplication, sorry. Didn't see that one, gotta get up pretty early to beat you guys.

I've been trying to do that too. I'm missing one or two but I think in a bind I have a clone of those versions that I could use to boot from if need be.

Interestingly enough there are one or two where the final release candidate of an OS is present in my purchases (I've participated in the last several betas) but the public release isn't there.

 

[Rod]

Very interesting point that. If you instal a beta macOS you get an installer as usual. In the first few occasions where I did that it didn’t occur to me to keep the installer (because it was a beta version). But the shift to the “gold version” is just an update so no opportunity to save there, or is there?

Sorry to intrude on your post, Regarding the comment

is likely the last update to Mojave, so be sure to make an installer and keep it in a safe place.

How would I achieve such a task?.
Thanks.

Go to the App Store and download Mojave installer from your purchase history assuming you did download it as an upgrade. If your device came with Mojave installed then you can obtain the link and read the how to instructions here: How to Re-Download MacOS Mojave Installer (from MacOS Mojave)

Many thanks for your reply. Just one other point if I may ask. Once downloaded to the download folder on MacBook can I then save that to a pen drive or any other external drive?
Thanks.

Yes, and if you have a backup system, it should already be backed up.

 

[Tomos]

Many thanks. Yes I do have a backup.

 

[Rod]

Yes you can save it anywhere you like but it is probably more useful to convert it to a bootable installer and put that on a USB thumb drive. You can do this using a free app called DiskmakerX
It needs to be the right version for each macOS. With that and the instructions that are provided you can create a bootable Mojave installer which will enable you to boot a damaged or corrupted HD, repair it if possible with Disk Utility or erase and perform a clean instal of Mojave. This has saved my bacon once or twice including very recently where my HD became corrupted as well as my cloned backup recovery partition. I had a High Sierra bootable USB thumb drive with that I erased my SSD, reinstalled High Sierra then upgraded back to Mojave. Thevfirt thing I did after downloading the Mojave installer was make a new bootable USB thumb drive of Mojave. This process does not remove the Mojave installer so you will still have it and could still save a copy elsewhere but the Bootable installer has a longer shelf life.

DiskMaker X 8.0.1 for macOS 10.14 Mojave available now !

Rod Thanks for the info.
Had a look at it, Failed to get my head around it as all this Mac system is new to me had windows 10 before.
Will try and find a video on youtube on the Diskmaker to see if that will help me.
Thanks much appreciated.

Tomos, the installer will not be in Downloads, but in the Applications folder. And as soon as it downloads, it will launch and offer to install. Just cancel out of that and the installer will still be in the Applications folder.

DiskmakerX is really dead simple to use. Just get the proper version as mentioned, put in the USB drive you want to use and then launch DiskmakerX. It will warn you that it will erase the entire contents of the USB drive, then after you authorize it, do its work. Not much for you to do but watch.
