To do this, head to System Preferences > App Store. You can simply ignore these updates if you wish, but if you want to get rid of them and stick with final builds only, you’ll need to tell OS X to remove your Mac from the OS X pre-release seed.
Here’s how to leave the OS X Yosemite beta and developer program and stop seeing preview builds of Yosemite in Software Update.Īfter updating to the final public builds of OS X Yosemite, those running beta or pre-release versions of the operating system will continue to see updates for pre-release versions of the next point update (i.e., the beta build of OS X 10.10.2) in the Mac App Store’s Software Update section. Now that Yosemite is final, however, both developers and beta testers alike may wish to get off the pre-release train and settle into the more stable public builds.
In addition to the usual pre-release developer previews, Apple this summer launched the OS X Yosemite Public Beta, giving non-developers access to early builds of the company’s latest desktop operating system.
