If you have Software Update turned on, this app will periodically compare your system to what is considered "up to date" by Apple, and will, depending on how you have it configured, either automatically or manually download and install system updates. Not all updates are necessarily necessary for your particular system. For example, if you are not using Airport, then an Airport software update would be unnecessary.

However, how do I know what I SHOULD download? How do you keep up with all the latest, and know which ones to use? Also, what are security updates? Should I download them all, or would downloading the most recent catch me up in that category? >> ------------------------------ Michelle K.
