Updates

  • Firefox browser (under "About Firefox") --> Updates automatically without prompts
  • Microsoft Office
  • Adobe Flash Player
  • MS Silverlight. If still not signed, you might have to run it from the System Preferences => Security and Privacy => "Click the lock to make changes." => Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere.
    • No need to revert to: Allow apps downloaded from: Mac App Store and identified developers. Just keep it as "Anywhere". (June 6, 2015.)
  • And possibly other software
    • Adobe Acrobat, full version. (N.B. Almost no reason to have the read-only Acrobat installed (much less updated) since Mac OS comes with competent PDF reader, Preview.)
    • If Java installed, use Java Control Panel, available through the Java control panel in System Preferences (opens in a separate window).
  • No labels
