Apple Software Update on a Mac?


Recommended Posts

A friend of mine has a Mac. I advised him that a new QuickTime player 7.3.1 is available, and that he better update his current player.

How bloody difficult can that be???

I asked him to open the QT player, then 'Check for Updates'. This he did, and it opened a Safari session with QT 7.3.1 downloads, for 'Leopard', 'Panther', and 'Tiger'. Which one to select? I asked him if he has a 'Leopard', or 'Panther', or 'Tiger' installed. He didn't know. He said it's Mac OS X.

So I asked him to run 'Apple Software Update', which I usually do on Windows, when I want to check for a new QT player version. He didn't know how to do that!

Question, for anyone here who also runs that most difficult OS ever devised:

how to run Apple Software Update on a Mac?
