CHECK FOR MACOS AND APP
U PDATE S
While Apple does a good
job of shipping its Macs
with the latest version of
macOS, sometimes
updates get released
while your iMac is
shipped to you. It’s a
good idea to check for
the latest version of
macOS before you start
because it fixes bugs,
patches security holes, and introduces new
features. (The latest version is 11.3, though it’s
possible your iMac already has macOS 11.4.)
If you want to check, here are the steps
to update macOS:- Click on the Apple menu.
- Select About this Mac.
- In the window that appears, go to
the Overview tab if it’s not already open.
Turn on Desktop & Documents Folders to access files in those folders on any device.
Check the Mac App Store for app updates.
