HT2693 Why don't I have a software update notification in the apple drop down menu?

When I try to log in to my hotmail account from my Mac, using Safari 4.0.3.  The hotmail (outlook) page says my browser needs to be updated.  However when I go to software updates it says I have no updates.  I'm starting to realize that I probably need to download Mountain Lion, but which one, OS X Mountain Lion or OS X Lion.

You posted in the iPad forum. This question would probably be best posted in the forum for the version of Mac OS X you're using now.
Just FYI, here are the numbers and names for versions of Mac OS X:
Mac OS X 10.4 - Tiger
Mac OS X 10.5 - Leopard
Mac OS X 10.6 - Snow Leopard
Mac OS X 10.7 - Lion
OS X 10.8 - Mountain Lion
Using the correct terms will help avoid confusion, and will help if you tell people the version you are running and what model of iMac you have. iOS, as given in your profile line, does not run on Macs, only on iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads.
Regards.

  • Why will my iMac Intel Lion no longer go to "sleep" using the Apple drop down menu?

    How can I get my iMac (Intel /  Lion 10.7.4) to go to "sleep" using the Apple drop down menu.  I have never had a problem until recently.

    Some process is running that is preventing sleep mode,
    Zap the PRAM and see if that changes things.

  • I've just downloaded photoshop and bridge cc.  I have two challenges.  First, I don't have a mini bridge option in the photoshop drop down menu or at the bottom of the photoshop workspace.   What could be causing this?  2nd.  From my old version of PS, I

    I need some help!  I just upgraded from PS CS2 to CC photoshop, bridge and lightroom CS6 CC.   It is very different.   I have 2 initial problems.   1)  I do not have an option for mini bridge.  It isn't in my PS dropdown menu nor an icon at the bottom of the PS work space.  Why don't I have a minibridge?     2)   In CS2, I could doubleclick on an image in Bridge and it would automatically open it in PS. That doesn't work with CS6 (creative cloud).  Should it?  Its like the two products are not interacting as they should.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Jenwebber,
    Mini Bridge is not available in Photoshop CC 2014. Please refer to below link.

    Thanks

  • HT4623 why don't I have a software update button?

    How do I update my IOS?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • The tools drop down menu does not have the options "button?" or whatever it is called. So, how do I get it back or better yet... where is it? 14.1.0 mac

    I am on a Mac. I am running Firefox 14.0.1 In the tools drop down menu, there is no options button. where is it or how do i restore it to the tools menu?

    Thanks for the reply, but I didn't understand it. As you can tell, I am not very good with computer jargon. So, I have to be walked through every step.
    Still, I think you were not trying to answer my Tools/option question so much as tell me how to do something else. On this, I could be incorrect.

  • I have my Launch Vidoe ready and the "share" drop down is gray so no ability to send it anywhere.  what is this?  I went on to update the computer for other reasons, now Safari 6.0.2 asit interferred with downloads; and from OS X basic to Mtn Lion 10.8.2.

  • HT4623 why doesnt my ipod have a software update button?

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • HT4623 What if you do not have a software update prompt in the general screen...how do you install iOS 5?

    I am trying to download IOS 5.1 on iPad2 but do not have a software upload prompt in the general screen.  How do I upload IOS 5.1 without this prompt?

    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and then click on the Summary Tab in the iTunes window on the right. Click on Check for Update. After you install iOS 5 on the iPad, then you can update in the future right from the iPad in the Settings>General>Software Update.
    Make sure that you are running the latest iTunes on your computer before you update the iPad.

  • Why can't we have "show cookies" menu be a button in the new drop down menu on FF29 ?

    I see the new Firefox 29 has a drop down menu in the upper right corner, with various shortcut symbols. One of them is "preferences", but I would like to make that to be have an even shorter shortcut to "show cookies", instead of having it buried in several clicks as in the old versions of FF.

    # Install Cookie Manager Button and restart Firefox if prompted.

    # Right-click (or Ctrl+click) an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
