Q: My Software Update is set to check for updates weekly.  It doesn't!  I end up manually checking.  Also, I click the lock to prevent changes but when I return to the update screen the lock is open.

I have set the Software Update to check weekly for new updates but it does not perform the check (iMac OS X 10.7.4).   This has been occuring since

I purchased the iMac (mid-2011).   I wind up having to run the update check manually.   Also, I have clicked the lock to prevent changes (the lock

closes) and closed the System Preferences.   When I reopen Sys Pref and then open Software Update, the lock is open again.   Anyone else experiencing

these issues or know how to correct them?

Thanks for any assistance provided.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
