Tom Snow Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hello everyone, I recently updated my Sandy Bridge machine (Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 mobo with Intel Core i5-2500K), built in 2012, to High Sierra. The installation happened much more smoothly than previous updates and my system works mostly fine, except for one thing...the App Store is telling me I need to install the High Sierra 10.13.6 update which requires a system restart. I have downloaded this update, installed it, and restarted the computer several times, and yet nothing happens and the system is not updated. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Allan Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Which version of HS you used to do the clean install? Note: If you do a clean install of macOS 10.13.0, to get macOS updated to the last version (10.13.6), you'll need use the Combo Update. You'll find it at Apple Download page.

Tom Snow Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 It was 10.13.0. Thanks for the tip, I'll check out Combo Update next. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334985-cant-install-system-update/#findComment-2627536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Snow Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Combo Update didn't work either. I tried 10.13.6 and 10.13.5 and neither fully installed, and I'm still stuck at 10.13.0.

Allan Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 In HS you need pay attention when the update are finished. When the system reboot, you need choose the right partition option at Clover GUI. But in your case is very similar to what I had last week. I've installed HS with my USB drive, and when the 1º step of the installation was finished, I did the boot from my HDD Clover install, not my the Clover at USB drive. So, my life geted a hell, very likely what you're having now. For me, I only solved the using the last version of Olarila HS image.

Tom Snow Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 I made a bootable flash drive with that image, and...it causes a KP when I boot with it. I used Clover Configurator to change certain parts of config.plist to match the one I have on my HD, and it still KPs. I took a couple screenshots, although I missed some parts because it goes by so fast. Maybe I should just forget about this and wait till Mojave comes out?

Tom Snow Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Finally installed the system update! And at the same time, fixed something else that had confused me. Ever since I installed High Sierra, I always wondered why "Install macOS High Sierra" was still an option at the Clover boot screen even though I had no installer on my computer. Then I found out its purpose yesterday: it's there to complete update installation. So I installed the Combo Update one more time, then rebooted, and then at the Clover boot screen chose "Install macOS High Sierra." That finally did it! It took something like 10 or 15 minutes to install, then rebooted again, and now my system is finally up to date (until Mojave comes out).
