Automatic updates don’t work

I have automatic updates turned on but neither receive notification that an update is available nor are iOS and macOS updates automatically downloaded. The only way I receive a software update is to periodically check and manually download. Why?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

Thanks for reaching out lambseverywhere,


It sounds like you are having some trouble with Automatic Updates. We can help.


A great place to start is with these steps to Update your iPhone or iPad.


Common reasons you might not see automatic updates is if you don't have enough charge, if the connection is weak, or if you have insufficient storage space.


Hope that helps.


Take care.
