ventura startup security doesn't have all of the options.

[azrael2001ca]

Hi All.

This is driving me nuts, and I'm running out of ideas.

I can't boot from an external drive and I think it is because of Apple's "security".

After figuring out the "new" way to get into recovery, I finally got to the Startup Security - and only have these options (sorry I don't have a screen capture, as the computer I need to work on is at work) is Either FULL SECURITY (radio button NOT selected) and Reduced Security ( radio button checked with only "Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers".

That's it.

How do I get the whole thing so I can allow external booting as shown in this screen shot:

I assume you have an Apple Silicon Mac, which does not have the same startup security options. Are you trying to use an external disk from an Intel Mac to boot the new Mac?

I've tried a new Sonoma install I created, and it didn't work (but now I find out that to boot from different drives on a MacBook Air 2020 you apparently have to hold down the power button to be able to select it after an install. That being said, I was ALSO told you have to enable boot from external drive but when I go to the Utilities -> Startup Security Utility I don't have that option, all I have is:

Full Security, which isn't selected and the defaults on the Reduced Security, nothing like this:

Apple Silicon Macs will, by default, allow booting from USB installers. This is different than with Intel Macs that had T2 chips in them.
This document shows you what you should be seeing in the Startup Security Utility on Apple Silicon Macs: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac...-settings-startup-disk-a-mac-mchl768f7291/mac

You’ll need to create the external bootable disk on the Mac you want to use it with. You can make the USB macOS installer disk on pretty much any Mac.

Is it owned by your employer? And is it "managed" by them? The settings might be disallowed by policy (I'm not actually sure whether that's possible, but I thought I'd mention it).

Hi Nermal. As to your question, it is in a "liability" domain. Essentially I can do whatever needs to be done to get the computer to work for work. There are so many programs that need updating so often, the IT folks can't keep up. The only caveat... you put on bad stuff, it messes up the other computers, and you will be sued into the stone age! The last time they updated it killed a bunch of my programs. They used a general "image" for everyone - management to techs. Bad things happened for techs. I think they heard every explitive I used at the head office 700 miles away!
