How to fix Mac not showing new software update even though a new update is available
- If your Mac is not showing a new software update even though it's available, several solutions are available.
- First, make sure that your Mac is compatible with the new software update.
- You should also check if a new non-beta or beta update has come out, as your Mac may not receive beta updates.
- In addition, the Software Update section under System Settings is not just for updating to a newer version of macOS. Updates to Command Line Tools and new symbols are also handled via System Settings.
- If an update is available, switching back and forth between the “Software Update Available” option shown at the top of System Settings and General > Software Update can sometimes fix the issue.
- If that doesn’t work, force quit System Settings and reopen it, restart your Mac, turn off VPN, change to a different network, or restart your Wi-Fi router.
- It can also be useful to check if your Internet is working, as your Mac must have a working Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Personal Hotspot connection for the new update to be visible.
- If nothing above works, take a break and retry after a couple of hours, as Apple’s servers can be overwhelmed when a new major update is published.
