Updating software on MacBook Pro

wrenchch · Oct 22, 2012

Hi
When I hit Update Software on my MacBook Pro, the blue progress bar starts and then stops immediately. After 30 seconds I get a window telling me either I have no internet connection (which I do have) or need to contact my administrator. Can anyone tell me what I can do to complete the software update?
Thanks,
Charlie

What version of OS X are you running?

Not sure. How do I establish what version I am running? (My MacBook is about 3 years old - if that's a clue)

No that is really not a clue

What you need to do is goto the  in the top left of you screen, click on that then about this Mac and then get back too us.

What ill do so when you work out what you have, dl the Combo update from the Apple site and install that through the .dmg. Here goes
10.5.8 Combo update
10.6.8 Combo Update
10.7.5 Combo Update

I have included all these as i have no idea if you have upgraded your O at all over the last 3 years.

HTH
