It sounds like you are wanting to upgrade your Mac, not update it. it is important to understand the differences. An update is a download that installs a newer version of your current operating system, in this case, Yosemite. An upgrade is when a newer operating system is installed. Because they are not the same thing, they may not be available to you in the same way. Upgrades must often be accessed via a specific download link, such as those in the other posting. Some of them can also be found at the Apple app store.
