When to update your computer

A new operating system has been released by Apple called Mojave. Mojave has not been tested by ITD and we request that you do not update at this point.  If you do update it is unknown how this operating system will interact with the district loaded software and servers.
Do not upgrade to Mojave MacOS.  

So, when do I update my computer?
You can run any system updates on your computer as long as it’s not a major upgrade.  These are the updates that Apple names (e.g.: Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, etc.) These are also the updates that change the version number directly after the 10. The teacher laptops currently have high sierra (10.13.xx). You are free to run any update that keeps your computer at 10.13.

Will I see any other updates I need to run?
Yes, you may see other software that wants to update not just system updates.  This can include Microsoft Office, Java, Flash, Google Chrome, and Firefox. You are free to run these updates but if you ever have any questions please reach out to the helpdesk (994-5040 or helprequest@aaps.k12.mi.us).
