Any time you open this page, it will also do a search for new updates, so it’s worth checking-even if there isn’t a number next to the updates tab in your App Store menu. If there are any updates waiting for your operating system or apps, there will be a small number in a circle next to the Updates icon.Ĭlick on the Updates tab and Apple will tell you which software upgrades or program updates your system needs. There should be five icons there: Featured, Top Charts, Categories, Purchases, and Updates. Once it does, look toward the top of the store menu.
Select the App Store icon from the dock, and wait for the store to load. From the dropdown menu, select “App Store.” The Apple App Store will launch on your system. On your Mac, click the Apple icon at the top left-hand corner of the screen.
