To turn off automatic updates on your Mac, you can follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
  2. Select 'System Preferences' from the drop-down menu.
  3. Click on 'Software Update'.
  4. Click on the 'Advanced' button at the bottom of the window.
  5. Deselect the 'Automatically check for updates' and 'Download new updates when available' options.

Once you have completed these steps, your Mac will no longer automatically check for or download updates. You can always check for updates manually by clicking on the 'Check for updates' button in the Software Update preferences.
