Get the latest app features
and security enhancements
by installing macOS updates
as soon as they're available.
Here's how.
Before you start, make sure your
Mac is connected to the internet
it's also a good idea to back up your Mac
with Time Machine.
Ready? If you're using macOS
High Sierra or earlier,
open the Mac App Store and
click the Updates tab.
If you're using
macOS Mojave or later,
open System Preferences
and click Software Update.
Here, you'll see if you have
any available updates.
You can click More Info
to see details
and select specific updates
to install.
Updates will download and
install automatically overnight
by default if your Mac
is plugged in to power,
including apps that
were downloaded separately
from the Mac App Store.
To run an update immediately,
click Update Now.
This will download the updates
to your Mac if needed,
which might take a little while.
In some cases,
your Mac might have to restart
to finish the installation.
Follow any onscreen instructions
to complete the update.
And when that's done,
your Mac will be ready to go
with the latest features.
