macOS 15.7.2<\/a> (full installer<\/a>, security<\/a>):<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

It’s diabolical that pressing this info button selects the Tahoe update instead of the Sequoia update.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

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.<\/p>\n

But no, it’s just a link to update Safari.<\/p>\n

I also ‘love’ how half the preference pane becomes a marketing pitch for Tahoe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
