macOS security update 10.14.6 stuck (Frozen)

My Mac is Mojave version 10.14.6

I bought it last year. I updated it from High Sierra to Mojave 5 months ago.


I ve got message 3 weeks ago by System preferences that there is 1 update available. I tried to update it and it started installation download new update but suddenly stuck and frozen then I saw this note (( The request timed out. Ann error occurred while installing the selected updates))


I try again and again but it was the same issue.

If you are using WiFi you might have better success if you connect your iMac to your router using a cabled connection,

this should provide a more robust connection, do not use the mac while it is downloading.

If that still does not work you can download the standalone update from here,

once downloaded double-click to install.

The server is having some issues: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/


I would simply try again later.


You can always force quit if necessary or force a shutdown by holding the power button/ TouchID for ~10 sec.


reboot as normal.
