Software Updates
     
    If you want your computer running smoothly then make sure you update regularly; updates are free and come once every couple of months. They fix minor bugs and sometimes add things to correct vulnerabilities that might make your computer open to viruses.
     
    Mac OS X, by default, will prompt you when updates are available, and you need only to click “Update” and enter your password in order to run the updates. Sometimes, in the case of major updates, you will need to restart your computer to complete the update. You can click “Not now” if you would like to delay the updates until a more convenient time.
