  4. Mojave 10 14 Update

The update from macOS Mojave 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 isn't as large as the previous update from 10.14 to 10.14.1, but is still substantial by any reckoning: a download of around 2.8 GB, it installs over 5 GB of updated files. Apple's brief release notes include the following noticeable improvements:

Solved: I have downloaded the latest version of mac OS 10.14.2 and now can not open Adobe? I have Adobe professional I can not find where to update Adobe? This document describes the security content of macOS Mojave 10.14.2, Security Update 2018-003 High Sierra, and Security Update 2018-006 Sierra. About Apple security updates For our customers' protection, Apple doesn't disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available. The macOS Mojave 10.14.1 update improves the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac, and is recommended for all users. This update: Adds support for Group FaceTime video and audio calls, which support up to 32 participants simultaneously, are encrypted end-to-end for privacy, and can be initiated from a group Messages conversation, or joined at any time during an active call. However, the 10.14.2 update is 2.78 GB in size, and more than 5 GB when installed. The Mojave update (at least) includes EFI firmware updates for a few models. In particular, there are EFI firmware and iBridge (T2) updates for some Macs with T2 chips. I will update my list of EFI firmware versions as soon as I have extracted all the details. The update to Mojave is over 2 GB, and the Mac will reboot to complete the installation of macOS 10.14.2. Installing the update can take longer than expected in some cases, so be patient. Earlier versions of MacOS prior to Mojave will instead find 'Security Update 2018-003 High Sierra' and 'Security Update 2018-006 Sierra' available.

  • support for RTT (real-time text) Wi-Fi calling,
  • a new menu item in News to open stories in Safari,
  • fixes to bugs playing media from iTunes to third-party speakers,
  • fixes to problems with MacBook Pro 2018 models using external displays when some USB graphics devices are also connected.

Security fixes are also relatively few in number, just ten, but of those half are in the kernel, according to Apple's detailed listing.

There are EFI firmware updates for MacBookPro13,1, 13,2 and 13,3, and for at least some models with T2 chips (iMac Pro for certain). The standard installer contains a full set of current firmware updaters. I have already updated my list of current firmware versions.

The bulk of the 10.14.2 update consists of replacement apps and software which have new creation dates, unchanged version numbers, and no mention in any release notes. Thus they have changed, but it's anyone's guess as to whether anything works differently. For the record, here are the major apps which this update replaces:

  • App Store
  • Automator
  • Books
  • Calculator
  • Calendar
  • Contacts
  • FaceTime
  • FontBook
  • iTunes, which advances to version 12.9.2
  • Mail, which advances to version 12.2 without any record of how that changes
  • Maps
  • Messages
  • News, which advances to version 4.1.1
  • Photos
  • Preview
  • Safari, which advances to version 12.0.2, fixing six vulnerabilities in the app and WebKit
  • Siri
  • TextEdit, which stays at version 1.14 but now supports a form of Dark Mode; I have examined this elsewhere
  • Time Machine
  • Activity Monitor
  • Console
  • Disk Utility
  • Terminal, which is at version 2.9.1
  • Voice Memos, at version 2.0.

A great deal of the command tools and other files in /usr are also replaced, as is a lot of Marzipan iOSSupport.

Most of the apps, tools and components in /System/Library/CoreServices are replaced, as are most extensions, most public and private frameworks, and a lot of Perl 5.18 and Tcl 8.5. Again, Apple does not tell us whether any of these changes result in fixing of existing bugs or new features.

Mojave

Oddly, the latest version 16.0 of TCC's AllowApplicationsList.plist is replaced by an older version 15.0 in this update. This is the first time that I can recall a macOS update reverting to an older version of a security data file like this, and I suspect that this may have been an error. Don't be surprised if in a few days version 16.0 is pushed out again.

APFS has been updated from version 945.220.38 in 10.14.1 to 945.230.6 in 10.14.2.

Updates
Important Notes:
  • Using APFS is REQUIRED in Mojave in order to receive system updates via the normal Software Update method. If you choose to continue using macOS Extended (Journaled) as your filesystem type, you will NOT receive System Updates via System Preferences. If you are not using APFS, you can follow the 10.14.1 installation steps below.

  • After applying ANY system update via Software Update, re-applying post-install patches using your Mojave Patcher installer volume will most likely be necessary. If you install a software update and the system fails to boot afterwards, this is what needs to be done.

10.14.6

10.14.6 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.2 or later after installing.


10.14.5

10.14.5 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.1 or later after installing.


10.14.4

10.14.4 adds new changes that ARE NOT patchable by the post-install tool of Mojave Patcher v1.2.3 and older! Before updating to 10.14.4, you you will need to use the latest Mojave Patcher version to create a new installer volume, using the 10.14.4 installer app. Then, update to 10.14.4, either by installing via Software Update, or by just using the installer volume you've created to install.


10.14.3

Download Mac Os Mojave 10.14

If you are currently running 10.14.1 or 10.14.2, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.3 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.

Mojave Update 10.14.6


10.14.2

If you are currently running 10.14.1, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.2 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, or are using a non-AFPS volume, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.

Mojave 10 14 Update


10.14.1/macOS Extended (Journaled) volumes

The Mojave 10.14.1 update does NOT install properly on unsupported machines, and could result in an unbootable OS. If you want to install the 10.14.1 update (and are not currently running 10.14.1), perform the following steps:
• Download the latest version of Mojave Patcher
• Download the installer using the Tools menu of Mojave Patcher
• Create a patched USB installer
• Boot from that, and install 10.14.1 onto the volume containing an older release.
• Once done, apply the post-install patches, and you should now be on 10.14.1.
