HOW TO TURN OFF MAC NOTIFICATIONS FOR UPGRADES UPDATE
I’ll update this blog if I can verify that the above steps are effective.Aside from muting and unmuting notifications, you can completely turn off notifications for an application. I have not yet set up an OS X 10.11 device with which I could test a mechanism for suppressing these updates. From the reminderIntervals key in the update catalog, looks like it may appear every 7 days, 24 times. It adds some entries to /Library/Preferences/ to keep track of how many times the notification popup has been dismissed. The package receipt pkgutil -files .10.14NoticeboardNotification.16U1627 shows it installed at /private/tmp/noticeboard/.10.14fornon10.8.1.0.bundle. softwareupdate -ignore 10.14NoticeboardNotification).
HOW TO TURN OFF MAC NOTIFICATIONS FOR UPGRADES UPGRADE
Unlike the other Mojave upgrade notification being distributed as a software update (the macOSInstallerNotification_GM package), this one is triggered by nbagent and from a separate updates catalog (noticeboard), so it may not be possible to block with the -ignore tactic, but it’s worth a try (e.g. If it installs (perhaps only on Macs with a deprecated OS <10.12), it will show up in install.log as 10.14NoticeboardNotification. Looks like Apple is using a different mechanism here, although the notification looks the same. I saw a similar upgrade notification on a 10.11 system. Slack user reported that the notification machanism is different on OS X 10.11: If you use Munki, then Rick Heil has a blog post just for you: Suppress New OS Major Version Updates with Munki. If you’re in Jamf Pro, push this script in a policy to computers running a version of macOS less than 10.14.
There’s scant reference to this method, but see this Jamf Nation article for how some people dealt with it with High Sierra. It might also be possible to suppress the notifications by manipulating the preferences in, but you could end up suppressing unrelated notifications. Incidentally, the process is identical to the notifications for High Sierra a year ago. In the tests of others, this was enough to prevent the pop-up. Rm -rf /Library/Bundles/OSXNotification.bundle Using the -ignore option of softwareupdate, you can therefore ignore the update as follows:
The identifier is the first part of the item name (before the dash and version number) that is shown by softwareupdate -list.
Note that as per the man page for softwareupdate: You can alternatively run a command to ignore the particular update. If the computer has not yet received the update, you can prevent it if you manage your own software update catalog, for example with Reposado. Note: This post is not concerned with the rights and wrongs of preventing upgrade to Mojave. The notification is then pushed as per the preferences in /Library/Preferences/ How do I stop it from showing on macOS 10.12 and 10.13 devices? When the package is installed, it extracts to /Library/Bundles/OSXNotification.bundle It is a package named macOSInstallerNotification_GM.pkg. The notification is itself distributed by Apple’s software update. As is common around this time of year, Apple have begun to push out notifications to logged-in Mac users, inviting them to upgrade to the latest version of macOS.
