Update Software Manually

To make sure that your Mac and the applications that come with your Mac are currently up to date with the latest features and fixes, you can update the software manually. By default, your Mac checks for new software updates automatically on a regular schedule. If you turned off this feature or configured it to be less frequent, you can still keep your Mac up to date by checking for — and if necessary, installing — updates yourself.

See the previous section, “Set a Software Update Schedule,” to learn how to configure the Software Update schedule.
