After Security Update 2020-005 - No RAM left ! (Mojave 10.14.6 - MacMini 3,2 GHz Intel i7 - 16Gb Ram)

On September 24th Sep, after performing the security update (2020-005), I immediately noticed ram problems. Has anyone had the same problem? By the way, when I start the computer, I still get the same message (since installing the Mojave Security Update 2020-002) that my Mac Mini 2018 was restarted because of a problem, even I shut it down normally !! I was hoping that with this security update they solved the annoying problem of this message !! Worse, another problem was added to one problem !!

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Ciao!

I downloaded and reinstalled Mojave on 2 computers and it solved the problem! I was seeing 900Mb of memory left on my 8Gb iMac. Now everything loads quickly, no long waits and it I see 5.45Mb memory left. No programs were changed and all settings remained. This solution was excellent! Forgive my Italian translation:

Ho scaricato e reinstallato Mojave su 2 computer e ha risolto il problema! Stavo vedendo 900 MB di memoria rimanenti sul mio iMac da 8 GB. Ora tutto si carica velocemente, senza lunghe attese e vedo 5,45 Mb di memoria rimasta. Nessun programma è stato modificato e tutte le impostazioni sono rimaste. Questa soluzione è stata eccellente!

I think that I have solved my basic problem, with modest ongoing loss. My SSD back-up drive was not connected when I did the "Security Update", and I went into Recovery Mode, reconnected the SSD, and did a reinstall from the back-up drive. Other than taking longer than usual, it seemed to work. I had lost my photos, but I had a flash drive that I had done a back-up of Photos maybe a month or so ago, so I did a reinstall of photos from that, giving me maybe 95% of what had been on the Photos app when this Apple s***-show ruined everything. Time will tell. I had tried for two days to do a reinstall of Mojave, but was never able to connect with the Apple server, perhaps understandably.

Either you’re not willing to pay the software developer to upgrade your app to 64 bit, or they’re not worth the importance you give them. Either way, don’t look to Apple for a solution, the 64 bit train has long left the station...


Look instead, to replacing your software with alternates (start a different thread to explore options).

That's off topic. The question is, how to solve the latest bull**** update made by Apple?

— The solution is clearly not "I should upgrade... "

And many people can't look for a 64 bit alternative to their apps, as sometimes they clearly don't exist (some homemade programs in Science for instance, etc.. ) Some other users are even not allowed to use alternative in some company too.


They made a mistake in their latest Security Update (and/or maybe in the latest Safari 14) for Mojave, they have to solve it.


If you buy a car having trouble 2 years after with its own electronic programs inside, you'll not replace it by a new model, you'll repair the current one I guess. The same applies here, otherwise it's planned obsolescence.

Sounds good.


Just an advice, you should download the Safari 13.1.2 Installer now available from Apple once again (the link didn't work anymore since Safari 14 was launched, but is now back in the meantime they release a new Safari 14 version):

http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/38/62/061-98246-A_DETHLIXKPC/njpb63acy0z0rgpdpewxts5rfjlkhtdvcy/Safari13.1.2MojaveAuto.pkg 


I got it as fast as I could, to be sure I have it just in case this kind of problem appears once again, in such case I'll be able to re-install Safari 13.1.2 as many times as I want.


But I guess the link will not work anymore when they'll release a new Safari version, so hurry if you want it.
