ty sir. that has currently led me to a hole where every update for sierra and high sierra are.
I have to download multiple updates to see if any of them work. Ill get back to say if it worked
-----
resolved
ok so after fiddling around with my mac for 2 days i just got the solution.
install the os from the App Store. make sure it is the 10.13.6 reg not combo.
now after installing it will not allow you to actually complete the download so heres what you do.
restart your computer. once the turns off completely, hold option-command-r
this enables OS Recovery mode. In there there should be 4 options. One of them is called "OS recovery"
what this does is update your mac to the newest OS thats applicable to it, forcibly.
from there you simply wait until the update is complete.
My mac got stuck on the white apple loading screen once the update was complete. but for that, just turn off the power then turn it back on.
Ty Link and Sir <3
