Ensure that your Jamf Now account is ready for OS Updates management:

  • Verify that the devices in your account have iPadOS 13 or later, iOS 9 or later, macOS 10.11.5 or later, or tvOS 9 or later, and are enrolled via Automated Device Enrollment.

  • Ensure the devices you want to update are fully charged, or connected to a power source, and are unlocked. If a device is locked, such as via a passcode or FileVault enabled, the OS update will download but remain uninstalled. Users must unlock the device, and then manually install the OS update on their device.

  • Ensure devices are not in Single App Mode or they will be unable to receive OS Update commands. Deploy any OS updates before placing a device in Single App Mode. Devices already in Single App Mode will need to be taken out of this mode to receive the update.
