How to stop “Upgrade to MacOS High Sierra” notifications completely on a Mac

OS X Daily:

If you’re tired of the “Upgrade to macOS High Sierra” notifications nagging your Mac to install a system software update that you perhaps have made a conscious decision to avoid, then you will likely appreciate this tip to completely stop the upgrade macOS notifications.

This is a great tip for those of us who can’t or don’t want to upgrade to MacOS High Sierra. But when I tried the tip both ways, my Mac doesn’t seem to have a “/Library/Bundles/” folder and the Terminal command comes back with an “OSXNotification.bundle: No such file or directory” result. Should I be concerned?

  1. Apple’s action here is indefensible. It’s bad enough that there is no easy way to disable this alert. But then, when it appears, there is no way to simply dismiss it?? Ridiculous.

  3. Thanks for this tip Shawn, it was really annoying to consistently get this notification every time I booted up my Mac mini, which incidentally is running10.12 Sierra. My Mac Pro runs 10.10 Yosemite and I also don’t have a Bundles directory, thus I never get any of these type of nag screens. I’m guessing this annoyance starts with either 10.11El Captain or 10.12 Sierra.

  4. In the abstract, I get why Apple does this. They don’t want you to miss anything “important”. But, in practice, it’s really annoying. Same on iOS. My wife has no interest (or ability) to use Apple Pay and yet her phone keeps reminding her to “finish setting up your phone with Apple Pay!”
