mengshi Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) For some reason my System Preference is not showing me the 12.4 update. I read up and it has perhaps something to do with SIP. I looked at my OC config.plist and csr-active-config has always been enabled and set at 00000000 (Enabled) and never changed. What gives? Why is this time different?

mengshi Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Boot args: -v keepsyms=1 alcid=99 Basically I didn't change all these apart from updating to OC 0.8 after 12.3 (I think). It is the first time this has ever happened.... Edited May 19, 2022 by mengshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengshi Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Found the fix here: https://macreports.com/mac-is-not-showing-the-latest-macos-update/ The first method didn't work as there is no such activity - perhaps that's the reason. Tried the App Store "Get" method and it is downloading now. Seriously don't know where the "bug" is. First time ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengshi Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 And this says an installation and not an update. Proceeding....see how.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengshi Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Ok. Above installed successfully but the Activity Monitor still does not show “com.apple.preferencs.softwareupdate.removeservice (System Preferences)”. Only this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking Get in App Store downloads the full macOS installer, not the update. It’s a valid way bur more complex than updating from System Preferences. I don’t know why is happening to you. Do you have SIP disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently yping "software" into activity monitor shows this: Is this normal or am I missing anything? I am not seeing "com.apple.preferencs.softwareupdate.removeservice (System Preferences)" as indicated in the article above. This is with "Automatic keep my Mac up to date" - either enabled or disabled. Same. Perhaps I am missing this? If so, how do I get it back?

miliuco Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 @mengshi I am not at home these days so I can’t see how my system is. But evidently not offering macos updates isn’t normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSaF Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Bro - I'd say his install is corrupt, his Activity Monitor/Disk readout should look like the attached plus not getting Update notification, therefore his system needs a complete reinstall in my opinion albeit a pain in the rear to go through that process.

Slice Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 As it is OC then be sure SecureBoot=default. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mine has been set to Disabled for a long time already as it is something I don't touch. I'll change it to default. I guess I'll have to wait for the next update to see. At the moment my machine is running as usual. Edited May 21, 2022 by mengshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I killed SoftwareUpdatemanager. Then I click on SystemPreference and Software Update and then the Activity Monitor shows what the link above mentioned. Hurray!

eSaF Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I am not absolutely certain but it seems some column information is still missing (Bytes Written / Bytes Read / PID / User) comparing it to mine above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree that Monterey needs SecureBootModel Default for updates. I have 2 computers (same hardware) where one has SecureBootModel = Disabled and the other one has SecureBootModel = Default. The difference I see, is that the one with Disabled only gets full updates, and the one with Default gets Delta updates which are much smaller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Monterey needs Default for update from Software Update but for full updates with Install macOS Monterey.app does not need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
