Updating Software

Most software publishers release improvements to their programs frequently, and each may have its own way of providing these updates. To make updating easy, Apple provides a simple way to update not only the entire Mac OS X operating system, but also all Apple programs.

Note

Minor updates to a program are usually free. Major updates to a program usually cost money.

Here's how to update Apple's software:

  1. Make sure that you're connected to the Internet.

  2. Click the Apple menu and choose Software Update. A Software Update window appears, listing all the available updates for your Apple programs, as shown in Figure 50-7.

  3. Select the checkboxes of the software updates you want to install, and uncheck those that you don't want.
