Problems upgrading to macOS Mojave on MacBook Pro 2018

I agree. The T2 issue is but one of what appears to be multiple issues on MPB’s, iMac’s, (with and without the T2 chip) etc. If Apple’s eventual fix (es) results in purging all 32-bit apps, then they shall have played a fast one on all of us.

I Got a brand new MBP 15 2018 around aug 2018 with 32 GB ram 2TB SSD etc.... I still can't install Mojave. I get the same error "an error occurred while installing OS"

I did all the resets and disk utils. even downloading the file and I deleted the 6.02GB install file from applications and downloaded a new one.

What do I do?

Hi, is there an official response anywhere? how would I know if apple is aware of this. Just want to understand how someone can follow this and compare if your brand-new 7 grand laptop is part of this issue 🙂

Thanks for the quick reply folks

ok, I get it... Ill standby. I hope its soon. also... I wasn't trying to put on a price tag on our stuff... just that its odd we are having this issue plus with that throttle cpu issue out of the gate.

I hope we get an update soon.

Thanks team !

No, no I wasn’t at all suggesting the price tag came into play and didn’t infer as such - just that the problem(s) seemed to span a wide range of computers irrespective of model. It’s disappointing across the spectrum. I agree - hopefully an acknowlegement and an update soon.

Trust me Robin...my new 2017 iMac (latest model available in June 2018) purchased just this past June - the Mohave upgrade was a total disaster. Respectfully, I don’t think it’s helpful to delineate which models yet are effected since many across the board have been mentioned in this post.

Yeah.. just wish there was an announcement on apple that certain serial numbers are effected. I was prepared to wipe my laptop and reinstall bare without migration assistant.

So do we sit and wait for a magic date to try again or give it a month?

Just purchased them recently and you’re suggesting that this may be why all the problems with Mohave. I did unistall Malwarebytes. What do you suggest as an alternative? Did you see anything else that would be creating a problem with regard to successfullly upgrading to Mohave?

Many thanks Allan - I will do as you suggest afterwhich I will try the upgrade to Mohave (tomorrow and will report back with the results). Do you suggest I reinstall Malwarebytes or just leave well enough alone?

While you have chosen to edit out certain of my comments that I believe would have been helpful in expressing the anger and disapppintment many of us share in this thread - I ask respectfully to please have th decency to reinsert - DO NOT UPGRADE TO MOHAVE!!!

The Host of this thread should also recognize that many of us have spent (shall I say at our expense and on Apple’s behalf) significant hours of our own time trying to resolve issues that could have and should have been resolved by its developers and engineers during beta testing well before the Mohave OS was ever released.

Well Robin, it would seem more than apparent that it needed to go on perhaps MANY more months than it did given this fiasco. Why do you seem to be so quick to defend what is essentially indefensible. The OS is a mess.

Forgive me for chuckling a bit - I have a new 27” iMac purchased in June - Entrecheck indicates excellent performance with not a single major issue and only two minor ones - and the Apple developers and engineers had a hard time apparently picking up something in one of their latest models? C’mon Robin - I’m delighted your two computers are working fine but what about the rest of Apple’s 20 million customers out here?

How many times have I got to say this its not just T2 other MBP have same issues . I have a late 2016 and its a cluster of crap trying to install MOJAVE. I am up to 4 tries and re-install High Sierra.

Then perhaps you might be able to suggest what the issue could be. If you go back and read the prior posts hereon, you’ll see that I ran Entrecheck not once but twice, - all was well - and yet a repeat of the prior upgrade disasters. For anyone to continue to suggest that there really isn’t a widespread problem, as an Apple custome, is it reasonable to accept ANY? I’ll gladly take my computer back for either a full refund or a full replacment for one like yours and the other two posters hereon where the upgrade has succeeded.
