Keeping Your Software Up to Date

When you’re connected to the Internet, Software Update checks periodically to see if updates are available for your computer. You can download and install these free software versions, drivers, and other enhancements from Apple.

You can set how frequently your iMac checks for updates in Software Update preferences. To check manually, choose Apple () > Software Update. For more information about Software Update, see Help Center (click Help in the menu bar and search for “Software Update”).

You can find the latest information about Mac OS X at www.apple.com/macosx.

If you have a problem with software from a manufacturer other than Apple, contact the manufacturer. Software manufacturers often provide software updates on their websites.

Learning More, Service, and Support

Your iMac does not have any user-serviceable parts, except the keyboard, mouse, and memory. If you need service, contact Apple or take your iMac to an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about your iMac through online resources, onscreen help, System Information, or Apple Hardware Test.

Online Resources

For online service and support information, go to www.apple.com/support. You can search the AppleCare Knowledge Base, check for software updates, or get help on Apple’s discussion forums.
