Keeping Your Software Up to Date

You can connect to the Internet and automatically download and install the latest free
software versions, drivers, and other enhancements from Apple.

When you are connected to the Internet, Software Update checks to see if any updates
are available for your computer. You can set your Mac Pro to check for updates
periodically, and then you can download and install updated software.

To check for updated software:

1

Choose Apple () > Software Update.

2

Follow the onscreen instructions.

Â

For more information, search for “Software Update” in Help Center.

Â

For the latest information about Mac OS X, go to the Mac OS X website at
www.apple.com/macosx.

Problems with Wi-Fi Communication

If you have a problem using Wi-Fi communication:

Â

Make sure you have properly configured the software according to the instructions
that came with your base station.

Â

Make sure the computer or network you are trying to connect to is running and has a
wireless access point.

Â

Make sure your Mac Pro is within antenna range of the other computer or the
network access point. Nearby electronic devices or metal structures can interfere
with wireless communication and reduce this range. Repositioning or rotating the
computer may improve reception.
