Now if your running a currant version you will see updates. If you haven’t moved to the newest op then you will get nag screens telling you to upgrade. > On Dec 6, 2019, at 1:53 PM, 'Shawn Krasniuk' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > High Sierra doesn't have the System Updates pain in System

The particular OS you’re using is the problem, yes. I believe your software update settings are still under general or can be gotten to from about this mac in the apple menu. > On Dec 6, 2019, at 9:48 AM, Phil Halton wrote: > > I don’t know where you’re finding this software updates

Again — update, not upgrade. You can set updates to be automatic, which includes updates to the current Mojave Mac OS, but not a full upgrade to a new Mac OS like Catalina. Dave Carlson Pioneer, Farfar, Oregonian, Woodworker, Engineer, and Musician -- The following information is

Again, to be sure we don’t over simplify the issue. Shirley is asking about an update, but wondering about an upgrade to Catalina. Updates and Upgrades are treated differently. You can set updates to happen automatically, but I seriously doubt that an upgrade to a new Mac OS can be set to

Shirley, the distinction is whether you use the word “update” or the word “upgrade”. An upgrade to Catalina requires your permission to do so. Updates can be set to happen automatically — these are for installed apps, downloaded apps, or incremental updates to your Mac OS. Go to system
