No Ventura or Sonoma updates?

I pray it has fixed the canon raw preview bug but I doubt it as 15.5 hasn’t fixed it in beta

What ever happened to Rapid Security Response updates and why don’t they use them in cases like this?

I wonder if this fixes the game Metro 2033 Redux and allows it to run ? Metro 2033 Redux ran great in MacOS 15.3.2 and stopped working in MacOS 15.4 .

Hoping this fixes an issue I have seen with a very small percentage of my M1 fleet not being able to update to 15.4. Will have to test soon.

I'm not getting the update but I appreciate there is a button to say check for updates now. Didn't notice that before. Also, do we really need to update all these devices for a .1 update? It just seems like a waste of time.

Hmm. Got the update on my M4 MacBook Pro, but nothing so far for the M4 Mac mini… 🤔

I had to turn on Apple Intelligence in order to get off of 15.3.2

I have the M1 2021 Air. I wonder if maybe they are doing the Samsung approach and staggering the updates.

This update has fixed the wallpaper custom color bug.

Thanks Apple.

I guess RSR are more meant for serious security flaws or security issues that need to be patched ASAP. This fix also contain bugfixes. Don't think RSR are meant to be used for that.

Not showing up on my M1 Mac Mini either. My iPhone and AppleTV found their updates just fine.

That's probably it, SJ… Just as I saw your message in fact, my update just appeared. Thank you! 🙏

if ota not working, i updated the post #2 to include the links for the ipsw and full installer, and if you know what you are doing, you can use those to update too.

It can only fix WebKit issues because of the restrictions in macOS. This update did not fix any webkit issues, however whats weird is that 15.3.2 could have been a Rapid Security Response...

don't seem to be. don't seem to be a new watchos either.

 

[azentropy]

Took quite a few tries over the past 15 minutes, but finally showed up.

 

[Yptcn]

Ah good to know, I just tried and can’t see it yet.

A "dot dot" release implies a hot fix that, yes, should be given some priority. Security is often, even usually involved these days.

Edit: if you are updating multiple machines, it is good to make one of them a "Content Caching" server. This really speeds things up.

I too got the update. It went pretty quick, which was nice.

I wish we had an option to hide update notifications. I know there’s an update. I don’t want to update now or tonight, I’ll update when I feel like it.

Nah, it’s just a useless security update you can skip
