I am connected to the Internet and am able to use all features of any program on the Internet. However, when I try to do a software update my computer says it cannot connect because it is not connected to the Internet.

Apr 10, 2018  The Mac App Store is slow, especially on older Macs. Even on newer Macs, the store is kind of annoying to use for updates. That’s why we showed you how to update or install Mac App Store software from the Terminal, but sadly that method doesn’t let you update macOS itself. Oct 24, 2019  OS X Yosemite remains available for Mac computers that can't upgrade to later versions of the Mac operating system.

When i open network diagnostics it says that my Wi-Fi is working, my Wi-Fi settings are fine as are my network settings but my “ISP, Internet and Server” are not. What could the problem be and how do i fix this?

  1. Try if you can access/visit a website using Safari. If that works I would (almost) rule out actual network issues

    If it is an OS X update try repairing the disk permissions using Disk Utility

    If it is an application update via the App Store make sure the app is stored within the Application folder as applications moved outside of can't be updates.

    Feel free to report back if any of the tips in here so far didn't help.

  2. If you have it, call AppleCare at 1800-MY-APPLE. You should have it automatically for the first 90 days, then for three years if you buy it.

  3. try manual download

    perhaps the hard drive is corrupt somehow
    Restart the computer and hold down command-R as soon as you hear the chime, which will cause your computer to boot into recovery mode. Once there, open Disk Utility and repair the hard drive. If it succeeds, restart normally and try updating again. otherwise use Diskwarrior

    Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available

    This may occur if you have Spotlight indexing disabled on your startup (boot) volume. The App Store uses Spotlight indexing to know when applications have updates available and to process those updates.
    To resolve this issue, re-enable Spotlight indexing on your startup volume:
    1.Open System Preferences from the Apple (?) menu in the upper-left menu bar.
    2.Choose Spotlight from the View menu.
    3.Click the Privacy tab.
    4.Remove your startup volume from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (-) icon in the lower-left corner of this window.

Make a backup

Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.

Get connected

It takes time to download and install macOS, so make sure that you have a reliable Internet connection. If you're using a Mac notebook computer, plug it into AC power.

Download macOS Catalina

If you're using macOS Mojave, get macOS Catalina via Software Update: Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Software Update.

Or use this link to open the macOS Catalina page on the App Store: Get macOS Catalina. Then click the Get button or iCloud download icon.

Begin installation

After downloading, the installer opens automatically.

Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. You might find it easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.

If the installer asks for permission to install a helper tool, enter the administrator name and password that you use to log in to your Mac, then click Add Helper.

Allow installation to complete

Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar, or show a blank screen several times as it installs both macOS and related updates to your Mac firmware.

Stay up to date

After installing macOS Catalina, you will be notified when updates to macOS Catalina are available. You can also use Software Update to check for updates: Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Software Update.

Or get macOS Catalina automatically

If you're using OS X El Capitan v10.11.5 or later and your App Store preferences or Software Update preferences are set to download new updates when available, macOS Catalina will download conveniently in the background, making it even easier to upgrade. A notification will inform you when macOS Catalina is ready to be installed. Click Install to get started, or dismiss the notification to install later. When you're ready to install, just open the file named Install macOS Catalina from your Applications folder.
