Unable to install macOS Sequoia update 15.4 on my MacBook Pro

Hello everyone.

For the past few hours, I have received an error message on startup saying:

"You shut down your computer because of a problem (click ok to reopen apps or click cancel to continue startup)."

This issue happened because of a panic I received today when my computer unexpectedly restarted from sleep mode. Here is the full panic report:

My macbook air is over 5 1/3 years old and it is due for replacement in the next few months since it cannot support the latest version of macos. In the meantime, I am planning to use the computer for as long as I possibly can.

The issue that I have is possibly an issue with the firmware.

Hi everyone, I thought this thread might help me with the issue that I’m facing.

some time last week I updated the macOS , mostly 15.4.1 on MacBook Pro M1. It was working fine until today noon. While I was on mac, suddenly the display went off with smart bar lights being on for a short few seconds and then the entire mac is dead. Now I’m unable to turn it on, even though the charger and cable are working fine.

Im bit lost, can someone advise how to get the MacBook turned on? I tried few of the steps given on apple forum but no luck. Is there even an option for me other than going to Apple Store to get it checked/fixed?

Looking forward for your inputs!

Thanks

You haven't said how it should be.. enabled or disabled :)

Hi KirillRP - What did you do to make it magically disappear?

now I can’t access the Mac and when I tried to do software update on the terminal I get command not found

This is a totally unprepared update. "It just works" - errr, no it just doesn't

It s a workaround not a fiX, we should not have to run safe mode for an update .

I'm guessing the imposed tariffs already has a huge impact.

I tried all of the above including macadmin-scripts

I did the same thing but I get the error message and Sequoia still won't install. Fortunately, I'm able to run Sonoma 14.7.5, but what a frustrating experience.

I already try this , but for me didn't work.

I just noticed that the App Store now shows Sequoia 15.4 (Updated 20 Hrs Ago):
