Automatic Update is not working on my MacBook Pro Yesterday I had an indicator of an available "Software Update" on my MacBook Pro 14 inch 2021. Automatic Update is turned on. I clicked Update Tonight and entered my passcode. This morning I opened my MacBook and it was not updated but a window was opened asking for my passcode. Again. It seems Auto Update almost never works. Am I the only one? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Sonoma 14.1.1 won’t install on Ventura 13.5.2 Since many weeks I get messages repeating that an update (about Safari*) will be performed later at night… which never occurs. * When I ask details it says it’s about macOS “Sonoma 14.1.1”. WORSE: when I ask MANUALLY to install the update I receive: “Passcode is not set.” (without indicating how or where to get this passcode). What to do?
