Wondering which MacOS version you are using on your iMac.

Eg: You may want to check if there are "improved security" / updates waiting to be installed.

For recent MacOS versions:

choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click General in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down),

then click Software Update on the right.

  • Else: If you don’t have System Settings in the Apple menu ,

choose System Preferences instead. Then click Software Update in the window that opens.

You may want to check that you are signed in (to your iMac) with your correct Apple ID:
