How to Download & Install MacOS Sonoma 14.7.7 / MacOS Ventura 13.7.7 & Safari 18.6 Updates
Despite being security updates, it’s still a good idea to backup your Mac with Time Machine to prevent data loss in the event something goes wrong. Don’t skip a backup.
- From the  Apple menu choose “System Settings”
- Select “General” and then “Software Update”
- Ignore the large prominent MacOS Sequoia banner if it’s visible, and instead look for the “Also available” section, and then click on the miniscule faint text button that says “More Info…”
- Make sure that MacOS Sonoma 14.7.7 or MacOS Ventura 13.7.7 is selected, as well as Safari 18.6, and then click on “Update Now”
The Mac must reboot to complete installation of the updates.
Don’t expect any new features or changes, these updates are aimed at fixing security patches only.

What are the version numbers of the latest security updates for MacOS Sonoma and MacOS Ventura?
Upgraded Sonoma to 14.7.7, and just FYI now HFS volumes take forever to mount, regardless if SSD or spinning. They eventually mount, but something is off.
