i am unable to find the download link for the OS X Software Update Seed Configuration Utility after logging into my dev account. How can I find it?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
It is in the 10.8.3 Build for Dev downloads section.
And it requires that you use 10.8 ... So if you've already updated to Mavricks, like I did, your screwed.
So people who use Mavericks already can't update. ???? Strange planning/ planner. 🙂

Not at all. Apple reasons that developers who are unable to find the "Additional Downloads" section and click on "View all downloads" probably shouldn't be installing beta software. 🙂
Yes, I'm encountering the same problem. The 10.9.1 Seed Notes refers to a "OS X Software Update Seed Configuration Utility". No joy, as others did, the only one I found is limited to 10.8.3... Someone writes a Seed Note but doesn't take the time to check if the recommendation actually works...
🙂 I could find the tab but it was blank. Then I decided to check it on Firefox and Walaaa there it was the download I desperately needed. It was an issue with Safari.
By the way Safari did show other seeds but not the 10.9.1 OS X Software Update Seed Configuration Utility which Firefox did. Fluching the cashe and temp files of Safari will also do the trick.
It seems that all it does is set the Software Update catalog url:
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --set-catalog "https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.9seed-10.9-mountainlio n-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz"
where to download os x software update seed configuration utility for Mavericks?
I think this command in Terminal can also let us check seed update:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.9seed-10.9-mountainlio n-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz
However I am not sure how to undo this. Do you have any idea?
^ Doesn't work
To undo this setting, use the following command.
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
There is no CatalogURL specified by default. In that case, it uses the default apple catalog (non-seed).
