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

Many quite useful Apps will never be updated... it's coming down to the lowest common denominator. :(

I don't know if you have solved in the meantime. I had a different problem: once I downloaded the installer it told me it was damaged !!! I rebooted and managed to install it!

Correct! This morning I checked for available system updates and there was: SU 2020-004 and Safari 13.1.2. I have updated Safari and I believe I will be waiting to update SU 2020-004 ...

New security update 10.14.6 + macOS Supplemental Update 10.14.6. Has anyone done this new update?

On my own experience with this issue since 3 days, and re-installing multiple times Mojave, I'v seen that trying to update any Security Update (from 1 to 5) causes this compressed memory issue at startup, ONLY IF I've previously installed Safari 14.0

So... in other hands I was able to re-install Mojave 10.14.6 from Recovery mode (then ignore Safari 14 update!), then installing the Security Update 4. Here everything is fine now, but I keep preventing Safari 14 AND the Security Update 5 to be updated, otherwise problems will be back again.

Immediately after installing (as soon as being promoted for the "update") Security Update 2020-005 on my 2019 iMac, the restart took an absurdly long time. Then, after the three accounts appeared, I selected my own and tried to log in. The result was a perpetual wheel of death. Wondering if I had some corruption in my own account, I did a cold shutdown, unplugged the iMac, waited twenty or so minutes, did a restart, had the same absurd boot-up time, then tried logging in on my wife's account, with the same wheel of death experience. In the meantime I am posting this on my 2013 iMac, running Sierra, and having no problems whatsoever. Software lethargy wins again.

I found the solution!

Perdonami , ma non scrivo bene in inglese e dovrai farti tradurre il mio messaggio.

Collegati a questa pagina https://apps.apple.com/it/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?ls=1&mt=12, scarica e reinstalla Mojave.

Si installerà solo l'OS senza cancellare programmi e dati.

Alla fine rifai l'aggiornamento 2020 005 e tutto sarà a posto.

Il problema è un conflitto con gli aggiornamenti di sicurezza precedenti; installando una nuova copia di Mojave, gli aggiornamenti precedenti non sono stati fatti e funzionerà il 2020 005.

L'ho provato su tre Mac ed ha funzionato su tutti (iMac 27" late 2015, MacBook Pro 13"mid 2012, MacBook Air early 2014).

Greetings from Rome.

Thanks! Indeed, after reinstall (on 4 Macs) of Mojave and SU 2020 004 everything works as a charm. I will wait even with the update to Safari 14.

Down is a post from Italy that You could instal SU 2020 005 after a fresh reinstal and a problem is fixed. I think that I will wait to checkout more posts about that to be sure. :)

Ho seguito le tue istruzioni (tieni conto che io ho un Mac mini 2018) e dopo aver reinstallato Mojave mi è sembrato che tutto era tornato normale. Poi ho applicato l'aggiornamento SU 2020-005 e qui mi è sembrato che qualcosa sia cambiato. Intanto, pur non avendo installato Safari 14 me lo sono ritrovato installato e non riesco a cancellarlo. Tu come hai fatto ?

I followed your instructions (please note that I have a Mac mini 2018) and after reinstalling Mojave it seemed that everything was back to normal. Then I applied the SU 2020-005 update and here it seemed that something has changed. Meanwhile, despite not having installed Safari 14, I found it installed and I can't delete it. How did you do it?

Here is the link to Mr. Macintosh. Very good explained workarounds and tests.

It worked for me fine following the steps. Success!

I had the same issue after installing the security update on two of our computers running Mojave. I did some research online and someone discovered if they re-downloaded the Mojave install and then reinstalled Mojave the issue was fixed. I just finished working on my first computer and my memory is back and the computer is running smoothly. Safari is not the updated version but launches properly. I can’t believe how frustrating this has been for the last several days!!!

Ciao , io ho fatto l'aggiornamento ad iMac 21 late 2012 (mojave) , finito l'aggiornamento ci ha messo una vita a ricaricare tutto ed è tutto molto rallentato. Ci mette circa 20 minuti per avere la scrivania visibile ed è rallentassimo.

Secondo te se faccio la procedura che hai indicato ritorna come prima? non perdo i dati e le app?

Grazie mille !!!

Ciao,

Non dovrebbe disturbare i tuoi dati e le tue app, ma è importante avere buoni backup, perché un giorno il disco rigido morirà.

Prova lo standalone in modalità provvisoria ...

Avvio sicuro, (tenendo premuto il tasto Maiusc all'avvio).

Here we are!

Apple just removed Safari 14 from the Mac App Store. Currently the latest version available is back to 13.1.2.

So Apple listen to customers, it looks like a fix is in progress. I strongly recommend waiting for it, it shouldn't be too long now to get it.

[edit] moreover they removed Security Update 2020-005 too.

Hope this helps.

And I must say... for know-it-all blindly recommending upgrading to Catalina — without considering the need of 32 bits apps for some users — please, let me laugh...

One word: Catalina. Two words: problem solved.
