I am trying to update to OS X 10.11.2 (iMac, late 2009 model). When I clcik on update, it then asks me to restart the computer. I do this, and then it says "Available Updates Have Changed." It is a constant loop. Any suggestions on how to fix and also to install the update? Thank you.
Mac OS X (10.4.4)
I am pretty sure you have to be at 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) before you can upgrade to El Capitan. Upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support
I have already upgraded to El Capitan. Currently, at 10.11.1. App store says I have an update available (10.11.2), but as I explained above it will not.
Sorry, I was seeing the bottom line where you stated Mac OS X (10.4.4). There have been a couple of recent postings below about deleting certain folders and starting over again. If I get a chance later, I will try to find them for you, but they have been within the last two days.
Thank you. If you can find it, please let me know. Much appreciated. Thanks

Try this, which I found on a quick search. Will continue as I find time.
This may not apply, but this is one from earlier that may help:
Thanks for using Apple Support Community.
