Hi,
Just tried to update my Mac Pro late 2013 with the newly released Apple security update 2018-002 10.13.6, both via the Mac App Store and by downloading it directly from Apple. The problem I'm having is that just after the restart the screen goes black and then nothing happens. I have tried several times now but the update doesn't start after the restart.
Anyone else having this issue?

Hi,
I tried to install this security update both on my Mac Pro 2013 and MacBook Pro 2017 (both 10.13.6).
Mac Pro 2013: after update reboot I got the account screen; after inserting the password the white line went around the end, then I got the white apple black screen with terminal log (I saved a copy) and reboot/switch off options. No way to enter any account; no way to get this repaired thorughout Recovery Partition.
I solved myself by booting my Mac from an external drive with HS 10.13.6 installed and launching Disk Utility S.O.S. from there on my Mac Pro internal SSD.
MacBook Pro 2017: I launched the update. After rebooting I entered my account normally, but App Store is asking for applying the same security update. It seems that it hasn't been installed. Safer to leave it right now.
AppleCare yesterday told me over the phone that there wasn't any issue about this update...
Thanks for the tip. I also am trying to install the latest update which froze my iMac Pro (late 2014). Upon the initial attempt I ended up with a log screen which told me a lot of nothing, since I don't know how to read it. I rebooted twice in SAFE mode to end up with a frozen bar in the log-in window. How long must one wait until one reboots using the POWER button. The mouse and keyboard are inaccessible, probably because they are Bluetooth driven, even though I have them hard wired to the computer at the moment. Thanks again.
If you search the community you will find a separate thread on 2018-003. Clearly it’s no better. Best stay clear of trying to apply it yet. I applied it on my MacBook and finished up aborting back to macOS reinstall from internet recovery
