So unless you are talking an operating system that is newer, this question is in the wrong plcae,
go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine what Mac OS X version you have.
And we can then ask the moderator move this thread, and possibly answer your question.

Apr 24, 2014 4:37 AM in response to a brodyby a brody,The Mac App Store, which is referred to by the knowledgebase article HT1338 that this subject line is about did not become available until Mac OS X 10.6.6.
If you have 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.5, or 10.9.2 and have applied all the security updates to date, you likely are the end of the line of updates for your system for free updates.
Security updates are outlined here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
You can take the name of the security update in question, and google
name of update support.apple.com DL
And get the direct download link for the said update, if you are uncertain if you have the latest security update for your operating system. If you want to update to the next stage of Mac OS X,
from 10.6.x to 10.7
from 10.6.x to 10.8
from 10.6.x to 10.9
from 10.7.x to 10.8
from 10.7.x to 10.9
from 10.8.x to 10.9
