My mac is stuck on OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and won’t update past that, no updates on app store no nothing, I recently bought an iPhone x and iTunes won’t let me sync my old iphone back up because it needs an update which i cannot get, its frustrating me, I don’t know what to do anymore, I’ve looked everywhere on the internet and can’t find a solution. My comouter is a Mac mid 2011
The App Store only shows updates for the OS you are using at the moment, in your case Yosemite 10.10.5.
If you want to go to another newer OS that is called an upgrade. This can be done through the App Store using the following link.
How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support
High Sierra is the last/ newest OS your Mac can use. Scroll down to Section 4 and click on Get macOS High Sierra.
Make a full back up of your Mac before upgrading.
Check to see with the developers of any third party apps you use that there are updates available so they will continue to work in the new OS. Another thing you need to check is if any printers/ scanners etc you use have updated drivers and software so they too can continue to function in the new OS.
