How do I get the latest Apple software updates?
If you have a fast Internet connection, the best way is to use the Software Update feature in OS X. Choose Software Update... from the Apple menu. Your computer will query Apple’s servers to find the latest updates for your particular computer. You may be asked for an administrative password during installation.
If you don’t have a fast Internet connection, some of these updates may take a very long time to download. If you have a portable computer and an AirPort card, come by Tekserve and use our free wireless Internet access. Besides us, there are more and more public places to get free wireless, such as Bryant and Tompkins Square Parks.
