Keeping Your Software Up to Date

You can connect to the Internet and automatically download and install the latest free software versions, drivers, and other enhancements from Apple.

When you are connected to the Internet, Software Update checks Apple’s servers to see if any updates are available for your computer. You can set your Mac to check the Apple server periodically and download and install updated software.

To check for updated software:

1Choose Apple (K) > Software Update. The Software Update window opens. If there are any updates available, they appear in a list.

2Click the checkbox to select the items you want to install, then click Install. Type an administrator name and password (the name and password you used when you first set up your computer).

When the updates complete, Software Update checks for updates again. It does this because some updates require that you have installed previous updates. For more information, search for “Software Update” in Mac OS Help (see page 22).
