Having the latest version of macOS on your MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or an iMac ensures you always have the latest features and security enhancements available for your machine.

You can use Software Update in settings to install updates and upgrades for macOS and its built-in apps, including Safari. Always make sure you back up your Mac before installing new software.

Update

  • From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen:
  • Choose System Settings. Then click General in the sidebar, and Software Update on the right.
  • Or choose System Preferences. Then click Software Update.
  • If Software Update finds new software, click the Update Now or Upgrade Now button to install it.
  • Enter your administrator password, if asked. During installation, your Mac might restart, and you might see a progress bar or blank screen several times.

If Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, then no new software is currently available for your Mac model. Also, only updates and upgrades that are compatible with your Mac are visible in Software Update.
