    Mine doesn't look like yours.  I don't show there are any updates under the App Store and mine doesn't have OS X Yosemite.

    -------------------------------

    How to show us a screen image.  Avoid personal identification.


    on the Mac you do:

    command + shift + 3  Will take entire screen.  You hear a click.

    command + shift + 4 Lets you decide what to take.  Mouse pointer changes. Move mouse to upper left corner of desire image.  Hold down left mouse key where to start image.  Drag mouse to lower left of where you want to stop image.  Release mouse.

     

    You will get a file starting with Screen Shot ... .png on the desktop. example:

    I found out I have Snow Leopard.  Resolved problem by downloading a windows version of a program.  I have Parallels.
