i do not want to update to macOS Ventura

That's not an upgrade message. That's just a patch so your Mac and phone can talk to each other. Accept it. It will not upgrade your Mac.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. You'll just have to ignore it.

They are not receiving update messages. They are receiving this…

If your Mac says that a software update is required to connect to iPhone or iPad

Yes. I see that now. But when I responded, I thought they were talking about the same Ventura upgrade notification that I get on my 2014 MacBook Pro.

Sometimes, I go through the list of interesting questions and open them all up in tabs. Then I work through the tabs. In this case, there were some additional clarifications that I hadn't seen when I had originally opened the tab. It is possible to fix this, or at least post a "new content" notification like the subscriptions page does, but perhaps the back-end can't handle that volume.

Which model and year Mac do you have?

A 2013 iMac cannot run Ventura even if you wanted to. You shouldn't be getting any Ventura message.

You're welcome.
