Please see below the steps for each supported browser - Please identify the browser you are using and follow the instructions to update it.

Safari

Safari is only updated as a part of the overall OS update, and as such, it is recommended to back up your system before continuing Click here to see Apple's guide on backing up your system

1. Open Software Update:

   • From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose System Settings. Click General in the sidebar of the window that opens, then click Software Update on the right.

   • If you don't have System Settings in the Apple menu , choose System Preferences instead. Then click Software Update in the window that opens.

      

     
     *This example shows Software Update in macOS Sonoma. Software Update in your version of macOS might look different.

2. When you open Software Update, it automatically begins checking for new software.

   • If new software is available for your Mac, click the button to Update or Upgrade.

   • If new software is not available for your Mac, Software Update says that your Mac is up to date. Software Update shows only software that is compatible with your Mac model.
