Here’s how to download and install the update on supported Macs.
At the Worldwide Developers Conference yesterday, Apple released the macOS Ventura update for MacBooks and iMacs launched in 2017 and beyond. As of now, the upgrade is only accessible for developers to download. It will be released in July on all the compatible Mac devices.
In order to examine and test the update, Apple has enabled the members of the Apple Developer Program eligible to download and install the update. At present, the update might include errors and flaws which means it might not be useable on your primary device. However, there might be some people who wish to check the functionality of the update before it is publicly available. If you are not a member of the developer programme, you must take a backup of your system data as this version is presently in development preview.
Here’s how to download and install macOS Ventura on your Mac:
If you have not enlisted in the Apple Developer programme, go to the enrollment page and click ‘Start your enrollment’.

The safety of USB-C accessories
With the release of macOS Ventura, Apple has added an additional layer of protection to your Mac’s USB-C connector in order to keep your data safe. When a USB or Thunderbolt accessory is connected to a port, an alert will appear asking if you wish to enable the accessory to connect to your computer or not. In the future, users will be able to select whether or not to allow the gadget.
Noises that are not directly audible
To help them focus, some people prefer to have “white noise” playing in the background, whether it’s from Apple Music, YouTube, or another source. In System Settings > Accessibility > Audio, there is now a choice to play one of six background sounds:
White noise that is neither too loud nor too quiet.
Static with a tad less bass than usual Static with a more pronounced bass. Soundscapes of the ocean: Waves crashing on the shore Moderate to severe downpours are expected. Brook: the sound of running water (which usually makes me want to go to the bathroom)
Weather and Clock apps
The iPhone and iPad have always had a Clock app, and now the Mac has one, too.. It’s essentially the same as the iPad version, except that the World Clock portion has a time map. Alarms, a stopwatch, and a timer are all included with the clock. It can also keep track of many time zones.
An improved version of the Notes app
A much-needed sorting option has been added to Notes. It’s now possible to arrange your notes using Smart Folders, which use rules you may create to automatically organise your notes, and you can filter for any or all of the criteria in a Smart Folder and the Tag Browser. As a further convenience, each note in Notes can be sorted chronologically.
Reminders That Work
For lists, Reminders offers a number of new features. If you have a favourite design for a certain list, you can now store it as a template. You can now set up notifications to notify others when a shared list is amended, and the Complete Smart List makes it much easier to browse your finished lists.
