Oh come on. Macs do just work, you don't have to be sharp or smart to use them.

No, i mean he wrote it is t2 cause of your wrong date. 2018/19 have t2, 2008/09 dont have.
So this is not the problem!
So this is not the problem!
It is a problem cause I’m trying to build the patcher bootable drive on a Mac that has T2 chip. I’m getting an error doing it. Which is why he recommended I disable my T2 chip on my functioning Mac so I can create the drive and try to boot the non working Mac.
Make sense now ?
thanks
I am sorry I confused you. The "date" relates to my unnecessary statement that "I have never seen a 2019 Mac in my life".
Thank you for the quick reply!
Does it matter if I run this using the "bash" shell or should I upgrade the shell to "zsh"?
Im not sure why i'm having so much trouble with these betas.. i run all of the posted scripts (attached)
yes... what i see is all ok. Where is the detail Problem ?
Yes I think you have to upgrade to zshThank you for the quick reply!

well, I run the script.. MacBook restarts, goes into the install screen. that lasts about 30 sec, then it restarts back to the desktop
P.S. I even deleted all of the updates in the update folder and started over again.

Do you have the swuswitcher app that will tell you which program you are in public or dev beta as the public beta is out as well then you run the swupatch in your terminal so the update appears in the software update in system preferences sometimes it checks twice once you start the download close and reopen your terminal at about 10% or so of the download process run the catalinaswufix5amfi patch

before you restart to install the update run this script in the terminal as well sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true
I have both scripts and have ran the both scripts several times, also did the terminal input you added

boot into your Catalina usb patcher in the terminal type csrutil status make sure you SIP is off

if you Mac is 2018-19 it should be able to run Mojave or Catalina and it might be because of the T-2 chip
terminal say :
-bash-3.2# csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled (Apple Internal).
-bash-3.2#
2 things you could try if you have tried any previous Beta's trying doing a PRAM reset then try again the other way is if you have a Catalina Patcher do a clean install of 10.15.3 final apply your post install patches and the night shift patch once in your desktop then try running the scripts again there could be something from previous attempts the preventing the update to install
OR if you have a Catalina Patcher, better if it's the same version as you are running, just boot from it and reinstall the OS over the existing one to "refresh" it. I do it all the time and have for years. It has worked wonders.
Ages ago I confirmed that it could be done, while waiting on hold with Tier 2 Apple Tech Support asking if it would and the guy had to go ask. I thought what the heck and did it while waiting for him to come back. It worked wonderfully and soon after I told him that it did, I saw Apple recommending it in the forums.

Has anybody been able to get Netflix to work on Safari? It works on the same beta on my MacBook Pro, but I get an unsupported browser error when loading a video page. I cleared the cache and there are no content blocks.
This is on a 5,1 with upgraded video and WiFI/BLE. No patches.
