Macintosh Update

< Previous | Next >

Apple provides an easy way of downloading updates to their operating systems and other Apple applications called Software Update. Your computer is set to automatically download updates once a week. To check if there are updates currently available, select Software Update from the Apple menu. Alternately, you can select System Preferences from the Apple menu. In the System Preferences window, click the Software Update icon. In the Software Update window, click Check Now to check for pending Mac OS X software updates. Software updates that are necessary for your computer will appear with a check mark next to them in the Software Updates window. We recommend always installing the checked items in Software Update. Your account (administrator) password will be required to install updates.
