iMac 18,2 with 13.3.1 (22E261). No update to 13.4.1 available.

I have an iMac 18,2 with 13.3.1 (22E261). No update to 13.4.1 available.

I have checked all options. “sudo softwareupdate –list –verbose –force”

results in “Finding available software” and “No new software

available.” Can 13.4.1 be downloaded and installed manually?

iMac 18,2 still eligible.

I also tried in safe mode keyboard USB and cable mouse only attached.

As iMac 18,2 is EOL in macOS and by some other reasons I won't make any big efforts on macOS anymore as reinstalling macOS.

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.3

Terminal Command below and what is the output ?

softwareupdate --list-full-installers

If it does find the 13.4.1

This Terminal Command to pull the Full Version

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 13.4.1

It will only download and Not Auto Launch

A New " Install Ventura " application should appear in Applications Folder

Perhaps I am misunderstand your reply above and sorry about that.

This computer does Qualify for every newer version of Ventura

Apple does not disqualify a computer for updates within the existing Version of macOS Ventura

To achieve, this based upon your original question and the issues this machine is experiencing - a suggestion has been provided using the Terminal Commands above

" Install Ventura " application makes a clean install and is erasing all data(apps).

iMac 18,2 is still eligible for software updates.

That is what I want.

As it was possible beforehand with 13.3.1.
