If your older Mac doesn't include Software Update, open the App Store app instead. It's in your Applications folder. Then click the Updates tab in the App Store to check for updates. You can also search for software by name.
The latest version of macOS Ventura is macOS 13.2. It arrived on January 23 and included 22 security updates (many critical fixes) and several new features and fixes including support for physical FIDO-certified security keys that were announced as part of the Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. Advanced Data Protection also comes to users outside the U.S. for the first time.
Apple Updates For Mac
Apple also used the 13.2 beta to push the first Rapid Security Response updates to the Mac, which will allow Apple to push smaller, targeted releases are for security updates that arrive between full OS updates on Macs, iPhones, and iPads.
That update came just over a month after macOS Ventura macOS 13.0.1, which arrived on Macs on November 9, 2022. The macOS Ventura 13.0.1 update included bug fixes and two security updates. The security updates includes fix for an issue where a remote user could cause unexpected app termination or arbitrary code execution.
Over the years at the same time as Apple has updated the Mac operating system it has also made changes to various apps that ship with the Mac, and we can expect more this year. Several new features are coming to Safari and Mail along with updates to Weather, the Clock, new accessibility tools (such as Live Captions).
If you receive a notification that software updates are available, you can choose when to install the updates or choose to be reminded the next day. You can also check for macOS updates manually in the Software Update pane of General settings.
On x86 Mac instances, automatic software updates are disabled. We recommend that you apply updates and test them on your instance before you put the instance into production. For more information, see Update the operating system and software.
AWS provides updated EC2 macOS AMIs on a regular basis that include updates to packages owned by AWS and the latest fully-tested macOS version. Additionally, AWS provides updated AMIs with the latest minor version updates or major version updates as soon as they can be fully tested and vetted. If you do not need to preserve data or customizations to your Mac instances, you can get the latest updates by launching a new instance using the current AMI and then terminating the previous instance. Otherwise, you can choose which updates to apply to your Mac instances.
You can use Homebrew to install updates to packages in the EC2 macOS AMIs, so that you have the latest version of these packages on your instances. You can also use Homebrew to install and run common macOS applications on Amazon EC2 macOS. For more information, see the Homebrew Documentation.
Whenever macOS AMIs are released, we send notifications to the subscribers of the amazon-ec2-macos-ami-updates topic. Whenever bridgeOS is updated, we send notifications to the subscribers of the amazon-ec2-bridgeos-updates topic.

KitGuru Says: Its nice to see that Apple hasn't forgotten about, or decided to axe the Mac Mini and MacBook Air. These updates are pretty major compared to what was available beforehand.
I've recently upgraded to Mac OS Yosemite, but the App Store won't let me install app updates. It says "Sign in to the App Store to download apps." I'm already signed in though, and the sign in box that pops up won't let me change the Apple ID to mine. I've restarted, logged out, logged in again, and it still won't work. I'd assume that this is because they were installed with a different Apple ID. Can I uninstall and reinstall the apps without buying them/losing data? Will installing the apps myself again without updating get the updates and stop telling me about them? Or is there any way to install these updates? Also, they're for the Apple apps like iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand, but nothing other than those Apple ones.
No, usually Mac has fail-safe which mean that if your update freezes mid-update and you have to reboot, it will fall back to the last version of macOS you installed. The updates can freeze as much as they like, and you can keep hard-powering down your PC, and your data should still be intact.
UTM is and always will be completely free and open source. The Mac App Store version is identical to the free version and there are no features left out of the free version. The only advantage of the Mac App Store version is that you can get automatic updates. Purchasing the App Store version directly funds the development of UTM and shows your support .
Each build is available to test for up to 90 days, starting from the day the developer uploads their build. You can see how many days you have left for testing under the app name in TestFlight. TestFlight will notify you each time a new build is available and will include instructions on what you need to test. Alternatively, with TestFlight 3 or later, you can turn on automatic updates to have the latest beta builds install automatically.
I felt uneasy from the first moment that I heard the story of these dry run tests on the iOS APFS conversion tool. The more that I think about how Apple seems to have treated those hundreds of millions of unsuspecting users, the more strongly that I feel that what Apple apparently did betrayed the trust that we put in our operating system supplier. If Apple wishes to bundle any more alpha tests in regular system software updates, then it surely must both warn users before they decide whether to update, and give us the option not to take part. 2ff7e9595c
