Mid-2010 iMacs will not command-R unless the recovery partition was properly installed in the first place and/or the firmware for Lion Recovery was installed. July 20, 2011 and later Macs have the firmware for internet restore built-in. Earlier Macs needed a special firmware for the command-option-R recovery to work. March 2010, and later Macs to Lion's release, also had the disadvantage of requiring the system specific 10.6 installer discs to install 10.6 if the firmware was not installed and recovery was not working. The advice Grant1368 may fail if these other situations were not taken into account and apply.
A new hard drive will require internet recovery if no Snow Leopard disc is present and the Mac came with Snow Leopard.
Clone backups invariably can get one out of this sticky mess.
Unfortunately, this did not work after all. After doing performing the OS reinstall, no updates were showing giving the appearance that the security update had been applied. I have since had the security update show in the App updates again. Apologies for the confusion. Back to square one. :(
Grant1368, in your scenario it means the computer believes you applied the update, which is possible since Apple often incorporates the latest update in the combo update for the same system. You can find out your Darwin version in the System Report and match it to the build version on Wikipedia.
I think it's more indicative that the problem lies in the user folder, not the system. From what I recall, anyone doing an OS reinstall, it has not corrected the problem.
Grant1368, have you tried the terminal commands that have been listed here?
This worked for me on my 2010 MBP. I found it in a fix linked to a previous security update.
Open Terminal and enter the following:
1. rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*
2. sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -seed -lint -r -f -v -dump -domain local -domain system -domain user -domain network
3. killall Dock
4. sudo mdutil -E /
5. Reboot
6. sudo softwareupdate -i -a --verbose
7. Reboot when prompted
I had to manually restart at step 5, I then got a prompt to install the update. Everything worked fine after that.
Try it from here, this site uses a different server:
Use internet restore https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201314
Did you install 10.13.6 combo update to make sure you have the latest 10.13 before installing the security update?
Apple might be busy, but try it in Safe Mode...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Same here!
I keep getting error 119, "An error occurred while setting file attributes.", with the install failing.
No. Safe Boot didn't help.
Ah thanks, will definitely note that... sorry. :(
Yes! Seems to have something to do with file permissions. But 006 worked fine and i haven't changed anything since. And i even have SIP disabled which tended to cause similar problems before.
Unfortunately I have no operating system now and it is unable to install now
Then you'll need to download the full Catalina installer from the AppStore on another Mac and create an install disk. This can be pretty easily accomplished with DiskMaker X:
