macOS 15.7.2 and 14.8.2

macOS 15.7.2 (full installer, security):

This update provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users.

macOS 14.8.2 (full installer, security):

This update provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users.

Howard Oakley:

To be certain the correct updates will be installed, in the Also Available section of Software Update, click on the ⓘ button to the right of the Update Now button for Other Updates and select the appropriate macOS update and Safari, deselecting the Tahoe update there. That should ensure you don’t inadvertently upgrade to Tahoe.

Jack Brewster:

It’s some kinda bullshit that clicking the info button next to the Sequoia 15.7.2 update selects the Tahoe upgrade in the updates window. I’m sure there’s a few folks out there who will footgun themselves with this.

Jeff Johnson:

It’s diabolical that pressing this info button selects the Tahoe update instead of the Sequoia update.

Riccardo Mori:

I’m still on Ventura on this Mac. You’d think that under that “Other Updates Available” I would find the option to update to Sonoma in case I don’t want to “ “ “ “upgrade” ” ” ” to Mac OS Tahoe.

But no, it’s just a link to update Safari.

I also ‘love’ how half the preference pane becomes a marketing pitch for Tahoe.
