System Settings shows a software update for Command Line Tools for Xcode 14.0 and 14.2 available. I keep downloading and installing them and it goes right back to the beginning as software updates available. Why won't they install?
MacBook Pro Apple Silicon
Remove the current Command Line Tools installation:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Then, reboot the Mac and see if Software Update has a CommandLineTools 14.2 update to install.
Are you using
xcode-select --install
Actually just rebooting fixed it. Appreciate everyones's time and help. Thanks.
Tried that from terminal and here is response:
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" in System Settings to install updates
You know what they say about performing the same repetitive task expecting a different outcome…
Use Bob Harris' recommendation from the Terminal. It will install the last compatible version of the Command Line Tools and that should rid you of the Software Update entries. It is the same approach that I use and will require your administrator password.
I'm just going to system settings and clicking on software update.
Good. Enjoy.
