Os x no updates available

Software Update doesn't show available updates Ask Question. Asked 8 years, 7 months ago. Active 7 years, 11 months ago. Viewed 11k times. I tried cleaning the Software Update cache, it didn't help. Any ideas what may be going on and how to fix it? Improve this question. It is a tricky question, as it is not possible to test fixes or workarounds in there are no updates available. I could start a bounty whenever there are updates available.

Is this specific to the Java update? I ask because I understand an updated version was released a few days after the original update. Not specific to Java, it was happening with other updates too. Kent: I can't test this right now, as I already had to apply the Security Update and there are no more updates available.

I will try this the next time when there is an update. Show 5 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.

Add a comment. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu. Go to Check Compatibility to see if your mac qualifies for the OS upgrade you want. Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac. Subsequently, Why does my Mac not have software update? You must apply operating system updates via the Mac App Store. There are several reasons you might be unable to update your Mac.

However, the most common reason is a lack of storage space. Your Mac needs to have enough free space to download the new update files before it can install them. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it. If macOS Open System Preference and select the App Store, and then turn on the automatic updates check function for all the options. Tip: You can also click the Apple menu—the number of available updates, if any, is shown next to System Preferences.

Click Software Update. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button in the lower-left corner. In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results, click either Windows Update or Check for updates. Click the Check for updates button and then wait while Windows looks for the latest updates for your computer.
