Finally macOS users are getting macOS Sequoia 15.2

100

watchOS is getting some love with version 11.2.

000

Followed by HomePod software 18.2.

Apple has released all the updates. Starting with iOS 18.2.

120

Sure enough, macOS 18.1.1 has dropped for the same security issue.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 19/11/2024

iOS 18.1.1 is out with "important security fixes". While I look to see what those fixes are, you might want to go download and install this.

It seems that Apple updated iMovie yesterday. As usual, they failed to say what they fixed.

000

The time has now come to update my Macs to macOS 15.1 as I never update to the .0 release. This should be fun. You'll also note that there's an update for macOS 14 if you aren't ready to jump to macOS 15 yet.

000

I'm now working on updating my Apple Watch to watchOS 11.1 and the release notes have only one real detail of note. But only for those who have an Apple Watch that can do breathing disturbance detection.

100

Next up is iOS 18.1... I will hunt down the security update info in a few minutes.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 03/10/2024

In a very uncharacteristic move by Apple, software updates are available RIGHT NOW. I am starting with HomePod software 18.1 and working my way from there.

100

This was pretty late in the day, but Apple has dropped both iOS 18.0.1 and watchOS 11.0.1 to fix a bunch of nasty bugs that users have been experiencing since both were released two weeks ago.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 17/09/2024

It seems that the iWork apps on iOS have just been updated.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 17/09/2024

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #3,005,902!

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 16/09/2024

Now that those are done, it's time for watchOS 11 to be installed.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 16/09/2024

And it continues with HomePod software 18. More to come in a few moments.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 16/09/2024

It's that time of the year which is Apple new OS season. The fun starts with iOS 18. But if you're not ready for iOS 18, Apple has also released iOS 17.7.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 19/08/2024

watchOS 10.6.1 is out with a bug fix for Apple Fitness +. Also out is tvOS 17.6.1.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 07/08/2024

And macOS 14.6.1 is out too with the same fixes.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 07/08/2024

iOS 17.6.1 is out. At least Apple didn't say bug fixes and improvements or something lame like that.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 30/07/2024

Apple released a number of software updates yesterday. macOS 14.6, HomePod Software 17.6, iOS 17.6. and watchOS 10.6 hit the streets. These will likely be the last updates before the new Apple Ones come out in the fall.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 17/07/2024

This is a pretty bad phishing email. Whoever created this should not expect anyone to fall for it as it is simply that bad.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 10/07/2024

It seems YouTube is down.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 10/06/2024

Apple has released updates to the iWork apps on iOS.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 05/06/2024

It looks like the Apple Weather App is down.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 04/06/2024

Really #Scammers is this the best you can do in terms of spoofing numbers?

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 20/05/2024

Consider this a must upgrade if you run iOS 17.5. Apple just released iOS 17.5.1 that fixes the bug that brought photos that were deleted back from the dead.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 13/05/2024

Next up is macOS 14.5

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 13/05/2024

Then we will move over to watchOS 10.5.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 13/05/2024

Apple is updating all the things. Let’s start with iOS 17.5 and HomePod software 17.5.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 29/04/2024

This morning I seem to be the target of a someone who seems determined to drop Ransomware on my computer. The first picture is the email that I keep getting. The second is what's in the Zip file. Lovely.

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 04/04/2024

It appears that Apple has had a lot of their services take a dirt nap.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 02/04/2024

The Mac versions have been updated as well.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 02/04/2024

Apple’s iWork apps on iOS have been updated.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 25/03/2024

Apple dropped macOS 14.4.1 along with macOS Ventura 13.6.6. The Apple security update site has been updated as a result with the security issues that they fix. It doesn't look like there's anything sinister, as in the security bugs were actively exploited. But you should update ASAP anyway.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 21/03/2024

Ironically on the same day that Apple gets sued by the DoJ, iOS 17.4.1 is out. I'll find out what security updates it has. But I would consider this to be something that you should install ASAP. Also Apple released the following as well: iPadOS 17.4.1 visionOS 1.1.1 iOS 16.7.7 iPadOS 16.7.7

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 07/03/2024

macOS 14.4 s also out.

000

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 07/03/2024

After the release of iOS 17.4 a couple of days ago, HomePod OS 17.4 and watchOS 10.4 are out.

100

The IT Nerd @theitnerd.ca · 05/03/2024

Today is a busy day. And it just got busier with Apple doing a dump of software updates. Starting with iOS 17.4 which among other things tries to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act.

110

macOS 14.3.1 just hit my Mac. It has the same bug fixes as iOS 17.3.1.

000

It also seems that macOS 14.3.1 was also released today. Not sure what that fixes as it hasn't hit my Mac. But Apple's security website says that these updates don't address anything security related. At least not that they admit to.

000

Apple has also released watchOS 10.3.1. The release notes have no meaningful information in them.
