Resolved Updating macOS Ventura to the latest version?

None of those are "latest" version.
I have updated to Ventura 13.6.3 - which is build # 22G423
I downloaded that using the MDS app.
Or, MrMacintosh will likely have that available to download in a day or two...

Or, you could check in your Software Update pane, to see if you are offered Ventura 3.6.3. That should get you that current latest version.

Which is the link of MDS app or is the Apple Store?

Thanks

MDS is no longer free, as from version 5, and is expensive. You can use version 4 until it stops working.

MIST is free and does the same as I used MDS for and is actually better IMO.

I got an OTA update for Ventura yesterday to 13.6.3, build 22G430. I guess that would be Release Candidate 3, then?

Well, now that's interesting...I was able to download (an unusable) 13.6.2 earlier this week from the App Store (unusable, meaning "it wouldn't bless" a USB Drive install) and just went to check to see what version is currently being served up there and got this odd message...

..."13.6.1"? Huh?! It looks like 13.6.2 has been taken down from the App Store and no sign of 13.6.3?

Not sure what's going on with Apple here. ??? :/

I'm not entirely sure, but looks like these 13.6.2/3 updates are only for certain Mac models with Apple Silicon chips

Yep, that seems to be what's going on here on my end...my above 13.6.1 screenshot was grabbed when I tried to download Ventura from my 27" 2019 i9 iMac via the App Store, however, when doing so from my 16" M1 Max MBP I get served up 13.6.2...

...mea culpa! However, still no sign of a non-Beta 13.6.3, FWIW.

What is offered from your System Settings/General/Software Update?

Not sure if your question is directed at me, but, just in case, both the Intel iMac and Apple Silicon MBP offer up "macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 — 12.91 GB" via your pathway. :)

No, not actually testing. Just using beta, which is simply a click away in the Software Update settings.
Assuming you are already booted to Ventura... (Your screen shot is from an older system, prior to the change from System Preferences to System Settings)
Click on "Beta Updates", and choose the "i" dropdown, and select one of the Ventura beta settings. Choose 'Close', and you will be offered latest update to Ventura (as "Other Software", I think)

Hi. I have a new Macbook 15” M2 and I’m new to Apple after being a lifelong Windows user. I am not updating to Sonoma just yet. I did not realize there was an update for Ventura until I checked today - 13.6.2 was there + an update for Safari. I clicked the update for Safari and it did that, but when it came back, 13.6.2 was gone, the only update I see now is Sonoma. Is there anyway to get Ventura 13.6.2? In general, how does one get Apple updates if they are not appearing in Software update? thank you! Donna
