Mac App Store: Update OS X and apps
App Store keeps track of updates for OS X and apps you purchased.

Note:
If you disable Spotlight on your startup volume, no updates appear.
- Click Updates in the toolbar.
- For updates in the list, you can:
- Download and install all of the updates at once, or download and install a specific update.
Some OS X updates can be installed individually instead of all at once. Click the More link under an OS X update to view update information and reveal whether individual updates are available.
All of the updates listed on the Updates page are free.
- Pause, resume, or cancel app updates. You can't pause, resume, or cancel OS X updates.
