Q: OS X update 10.10.5 not working
Using the App Store update app is not working. To the right of OS X update 10.10.5 is the UPDATE button. When I click that button I get a prompt that says "Restarting Your Computer" Your computer will restart in x seconds to install updates. When x gets to zero the App store button starts jumping and when I click it I get a new prompt that says "Available updates have changed" Click "Show details". Which I do. Then the prompt disappears and nothing else happens. The App Store update app still shows that I have an update available. ???
It also shows that I need to update iTunes to version 12.2.2 but below it shows that I have already updated iTunes 12.2.2. ???

Hi Carol, I am having exactly the same problem.
I noticed the message about two days ago and tried to install it using the App Store, it downloaded the update and when I click on restart I get the same message as you did. At the moment I got close to sixteen attempts to install the update.
Searching a bit more online I've found this http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/200454/appstore-wont-install-os-x-10-10 -5-update
To be honest, it didn't quite helped me as I tried it this morning and the terminal keeps running and no install or message indicating anything about restart has been displayed (this is annoying).
What is worst is, I don't find any helpful message coming from Apple about how to solve this
Apple has a link similar to their solution How to remotely install software updates using the command line - Apple Support
