Update MacOS

Due to changes on how MacOS is being updated, you cannot update your school computer by going into System Preferences.

To bypass the administrative needs, we have deployed an application in the Self Service app

Once started you cannot stop the process.

Follow these steps to update your Macbook:

  • First open the self service app (the ISB Icon in the Dock)
  • Search for the application called Update MacOS and click on install.
  • Enter the password you use to login into your Mac.

If you don't see the pop up, restart your Mac and start the process again. (Click the Apple logo at the top Left corner, then Restart)

  • The update process will start. If the MacOS Installer is not downloaded, you will see the following message

  • Once the MacOS Installer is downloaded, the update will start and take from 30 min to an hour.

After it restarts and the installation process is done, you might not see the bubble with your user at the log in page. To fix it, you just need to restart your computer.

Your username is your email address (sometimes without @ibs.be) the password is the same as the one that you usually use to log in to the computer.
