My Mac has been trying to update to macOS 10.14.6 for weeks now, however, it continues to time out error during the download.

Hello onetribe,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to update the macOS software on your MacBook Pro. To help with this, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:



  • Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
  • Loads only required kernel extensions
  • Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
  • Disables user-installed fonts
  • Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files



Log in to your user account and try updating while in safe mode.



Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac

Graphics performance limited in macOS Recovery, safe mode, or Guest User mode



Cheers!
