Critical macOS Updates

What do I need to do?

All SCS Macs receive updates which must be applied to appropriately patch the operating system. Your system will notify you if updates are available. Once installed, updates will not take effect until the system is restarted.

Please restart your Mac as soon as possible. If your system has not been updated, you can follow the steps below to update.

macOS Updates via Jamf Pro Management

1. The "Management Action" window/panel will appear.
2. Select "Start Now".
3. Click "Submit".
4. If no updates are available, no further messages will be shown.
5. If an update was installed that requires a restart, you will be notified. Please restart immediately.
6. If an update is installed that does not require restarting, no further action is needed.

macOS Sierra and High Sierra Updates

1. Click on the Apple icon on the menu bar.
