- Click on the Apple in the upper left hand of the screen
- Click on App Store Click on Updates in the App Store window. Run all updates. THere is at least one that is fairly long, so be patient. You should not run any updates that require an apple id/password. Only run the updates that are OS related. If you need to enter a password to run the update, your computer password will do the trick. You will find updates that relate to security among other things.
- After you run all the updates and the computer restarts, check for updates again and run more updates if the computer finds any. Repeat this process until no more OS updates are found.
