• Updating macOS Ventura v13.6.9 to v13.7 got stuck when I was out. :/

    From Newsgroup: comp.sys.mac.system

    Updating macOS Ventura v13.6.9 to v13.7 got stuck when I was out. :/ Basically, I told 13" Intel 2020 MBP's macOS to update its Safari and
    macOS Ventura to v13.7 while I was out since it takes a while to
    download, prepare, upgrade, and finish. I came home and MBP was
    asleep. I thought it was done so I woke it up and the screen blinked
    and showed me https://matrix.zimage.com/_matrix/media/v3/download/ross154.net/rJetbpwFfEkNGXPcPaJwxlmU/FullSizeRender.jpg
    (photo). I waited for 15 minutes, and it was still there at the same
    status. MBP wasn't even warm so it's not doing anything I think.
    Usually, upgrades makes MBP warm/hot. :(

    So, I held the power button to force a shut off, booted back up, but
    nothing. I tried again without power AC, monitor, and 3.5mm speaker
    cable. Now, it worked. That scared me. I was able to boot up and log
    into macOS Ventura v13.6.9.

    So, should I try again since I never had this issue before? :/ Thank you
    for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    Why would it be "utter nonsense" to apply an upDATE to an OS?

    Presumably, the most recent updates to Ventura are for bugs that Apple identified, rather than to add new features.

    macOS Venture 13.7 was released YESTERDAY.

    So why wouldn't you want that?

    So I tried again yesterday morning, but this time I didn't lock my
    session since I was near by. It upgraded successfully.

    However, I ran into a new issue. Every time I reboot and relog into an
    macOS account, it said I didn't shut down properly and gave me an option
    to report to Apple with this crash dump (copied and pasted its texts,
    and uploaded to https://zimage.com/~ant/temp/macOSventura13.7afterRebootAndLoggingIn.txt). Panic with NVME. That sounded bad. So, I tried shutting down MBP and
    powering it back up. No more crashes. That was scary. I hope it was a
    hiccup. Yes, there are back ups.

    Updating macOS Ventura v13.6.9 to v13.7 got stuck when I was out. :/
    Basically, I told 13" Intel 2020 MBP's macOS to update its Safari and
    macOS Ventura to v13.7 while I was out since it takes a while to
    download, prepare, upgrade, and finish. I came home and MBP was
    asleep. I thought it was done so I woke it up and the screen blinked
    and showed me
    https://matrix.zimage.com/_matrix/media/v3/download/ross154.net/rJetbpwFfEkNGXPcPaJwxlmU/FullSizeRender.jpg
    (photo). I waited for 15 minutes, and it was still there at the same
    status. MBP wasn't even warm so it's not doing anything I think.
    Usually, upgrades makes MBP warm/hot. :(

    So, I held the power button to force a shut off, booted back up, but
    nothing. I tried again without power AC, monitor, and 3.5mm speaker
    cable. Now, it worked. That scared me. I was able to boot up and log
    into macOS Ventura v13.6.9.

    So, should I try again since I never had this issue before? :/ Thank you >>>> for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    Your nuts are numb. Again.

    Idiot:

    So Sequoia was released ____ 2 days ago ____ and you believe it to be unsupported? See [ AAA ] above.

    Ventura is still supported. I will update to newer major version later on.

    You understand not much: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/apple-clarifies-security-update-policy-only-the-latest-oses-are-fully-patched/

    And you are fiddling around with an OS which is 2 generations behind.

    Have pity on those of us who have no option. My iMac is the 2017 model and is stuck at Ventura. I have no particular need to get a newer model even if I could afford it.

    Ventura and earlier macOS releases are still receiving security updates
    so no nneed need to panic re malware at least.
